Chapter 709 Three in One(1/2)

The concubine's son Gaomen 93

The ritual music of the throne ceremony was played, thick and solemn.

Gan got off the imperial chariot and stepped on the red carpet. He walked forward step by step. The flags around him were flying, and everything he saw was full of people crawling at her feet. She walked forward step by step, and the people at her feet accepted the vague look of these people with all kinds of radiance. She knew that they were not convinced. But so what? Whether they were convinced or not, they all bowed their knees at this moment.

Lin Yutong knelt under the Nine Dragon Jade Bi, above everyone. She was wearing apricot yellow clothes that Gan specially asked someone to send him. She watched Gan stand under the Nine Dragon Wall and stopped moving. She knew that according to the procedure, it was the officials who should have persuaded him to enter.

Guo Changhe pursed his lips. At this time, he wished he was not the prime minister. Otherwise, he would not have encountered such an embarrassing thing. He stood up and bowed, "Please ascend the throne!"

After saying this, no one in the audience responded.

Lin Yutong frowned. This persuasion was a play. He asked all officials to persuade him three times. After the emperor refused three times, the emperor ascended the throne in a long time when the officials were unable to kneel down for a long time.

Now, Guo Changhe, the role of "leader" of all officials, who persuaded all officials to advance, spoke, but no one responded. Not only was Guo Changhe embarrassed, but the key was that Gan was embarrassed. When it came to this point, how could this etiquette go down? These people are also brave, under the guise of not chasing the public.

Lin Yutong couldn't do so, so she had to stand up and give a big gift again: "Prime Minister Guo advised him to come on behalf of all officials--"

A trace of surprise flashed across everyone's faces. Princess Yunyin actually took the ritual ceremony personally. It should have been "Prime Minister Guo led all officials to persuade him to advance", but it was directly changed to "Prime Minister Guo persuaded him to advance on behalf of all officials". The difference of one word has completely different meanings.

Gan nodded to Lin Yutong, and Guo Changhe accepted his fate and shouted: "Please ascend the throne!"

Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief, and the play could finally be performed. But who knew that as soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, Gan did not follow the routine. She spread her arms and looked at the minister kneeling below, without saying humble words, nor did she continue the scene of swearing and rejecting three times. Instead, she said directly: "I - I am appointed to heaven! Assuming the throne, I will not give in." As she said that, she shook her sleeves, turned around, raised her feet and walked up the Nine Dragon Wall.

This reaction was really something that everyone did not expect. Lin Yutong felt that this approach was very "Gan". It was unscrupulous and domineering. What a bullshit etiquette and rules, what's the point of no one to cooperate with? If you don't persuade me, I should ascend the throne or ascend the throne. If you have the ability to bite me! What's the ability to kneel down and resist silently? Still have no avail!

But she didn't expect that a sudden change occurred at this time. In the early days of spring and sunny weather, a wind suddenly swept over. Lin Yutong was blown up to her sleeves and covered her eyes, and her whole body seemed to be shaken by the blow. She hurriedly looked at Gan, but saw that Gan had only climbed three steps. How could she get up the steps of 9981? The wind made people unable to open their eyes and unable to step open their legs. She felt a sense of hilariousness. The wind came too coincidental and blowing too evilly. The candles used to worship the heaven and earth on the high platform were first light and dark, and then they were saved and destroyed. The bright yellow banners held by the emperor on both sides were also shaking in the wind.

This is a bad thing!

Lin Yutong's heart was raised.

But that's not all. There's only one worse, no worst. The wind is blowing so hard that people can't open their eyes, but then, a thick smoke mixed with the burning smell rushed into people's nose.

Where did the burning smell of smoke come from? Where did the fire catch? Lin Yutong opened her eyes hard and looked at it. When she saw it, she felt cold. She had to prepare a kind of burnt firewood for sacrifice to the heaven and earth. What is burnt firewood? The priest of the ceremonial placed jade, sacrifice and other items on the accumulated firewood and burned it on the altar. This is called burnt firewood. What is burnt firewood? Its purpose is the burnt smoke, and the smoke must go straight to the sky. It means to directly bring the news of the new emperor's ascension to the sky. Generally speaking, there will be no mistakes. The day selected by the Imperial Heaven Prison must be a windless day. It is expected to achieve the best effect. Moreover, in order not to affect the effect, the priest is extremely eye-catching. While there is no wind, it will be covered immediately. This agenda is over.

But then it was the evil door. When the wind blew, the candlelight went out first. The praise who was originally holding the sacrifice of jade and silk and other things was shocked. I don’t know which one fell down the things in his hand because of this scare. It burned directly. The smoke that should have reached the sky was blown by the Gan family and the ministers below.

What does this mean? Doesn’t it mean that God does not admit it at all?

Lin Yutong barely opened her eyes and looked at Gan. This was awesome. The man holding a bright yellow banner on one side, not knowing whether his eyes were blurred by smoke or the wind could not control it, but he suddenly let go. After that, the banner swayed left and right, but the man was stunned. He was so stupid that he didn't know how to move, so he just watched the banner falling down and smashing it towards Gan. The banner was made of wooden, and the good wood was not light. Is it so good to hit someone? This incident,

But Lin Yutong was so shocked that she was about to jump out. She didn't care about anything and rushed over and blocked the front of Gan. The banner hit Lin Yutong hard on the back. The "moan" that she couldn't control. Gan was stunned for a moment, and even a hint of panic flashed in her eyes. No matter what, she was afraid of the unknown. Lin Yutong heard her murmuring: "Li Feng was shocked, the officials were easy to sacrificial ceremony... Could it be... it's really something that God can't tolerate?"

This is the saying of the response of heaven and man. From the previous dynasty, the response of heaven and man was popular. From the emperor to the people, they all believed that heaven can influence human affairs, predict disasters and auspiciousness, and human behavior can also sense heaven. This is called the sympathy between heaven and human affairs. Therefore, if there are frequent natural disasters such as drought and famine in this world, the emperor would write a decree to the world, reflect on the subjects, and heaven to examine his own faults. But the strong wind is blowing early and not late, but it blows at this time, how could Gan not reflect in his heart? After all, she is indeed a big defence in the world.

But now, you can only advance but not retreat! If you retreat, you will be dead.

Lin Yutong grabbed Gan's hand and asked loudly: "Your Majesty knows the incident of King Wu's attack on Zhou and crossing Mengjin?"

What happened to King Wu’s attack on Zhou and crossing Mengjin?

This allusion is familiar to everyone.

Lin Yutong's voice became clearer: "King Wu defeated Zhou and crossed Mengjin. At that time, the waves of Yanghou attacked against the current, and the wind and waves were strong and dark, and people and horses did not meet each other. At that time, King Wu held Huang Yue on the left, held a white chalk on the right, and glared at the right, and slammed his eyes. I was in charge of the world, who dared to harm my intentions! So the wind was saved and the waves stopped."

The light in Gan's eyes flashed: "Yes! Yu Ren is the world, who dares to harm my will!" After saying that, he pushed Lin Yutong's support away, stood in the wind, and turned his head to look at the minister kneeling down with his sleeves to cover his face, and said aloud: "I am careful in serving the sky, being graceful and polite, and I am worthy of the sky! Even if I encounter some slight storm, so what? The strong wind can be violent, but it can be broken when it encounters the wind, and can also rise up! I ascend the throne as a woman, and I am the first person in ancient times. Since God wants to test, then the test is! How can a mere storm stop my steps? Let the wind blow more violently! I prove it to God! I prove it to the world! I am the king of a country."

As he said that, he turned his head and followed the steps and walked up step by step in the strong wind. Ninety-nine eighty-one steps, how difficult it was.

When he finally reached the top, he sat steadily on the dragon throne. It was strange that the wind really stopped. It came quickly and left quickly. Lin Yutong really didn't know now, was it God's will or a coincidence?

But at this time, the wind stormed and the smoke dissipated. The blue smoke rushed straight into the sky.

The ministers below were all confused. Especially those members of the royal family, if the vision encountered in Fengxian Hall that day might be human-made, then what they saw in front of them would definitely not be human-made. Who can control the wind, rain, thunder and lightning? No one can! But how to explain this situation now? Could it be that it is God's test?

But no matter why, everyone's dissatisfaction was slightly closed. The hall ended with the sound of shouting long live.

There was a palace banquet at night, but Lin Yutong was in the palace. Madam He was holding the medicine and applying medicine to her back. She was white and her skin was tender. She was hit hard by dozens of kilograms of things on her back, forming a blue-purple scar. There were still bleeding faintly on the edges, looking at the scary people.

"Amitabha!" Madam He said while putting medicine, "This is the Buddha's appearance. If you look two inches away, you will hit the head. Is that so great?" You have to take your life on the spot. "Or, you have to be a kiss to help you. So many people around you were stunned, none of them thought of reaching out to save the enemy. It was still your highness and your master, your son and your daughter, and they were quite far apart at that time. If your Highness hadn't been so anxious, how could they all pounce so quickly?"

Lin Yutong smiled and said "Yes! God bless you." There was a big mistake almost made.

The medicine applied to the wound was a bit burning and painful.

Madam He applied the medicine and bandaged it finely with a white cotton cloth, and wrapped her upper body together. "It hurts a little at first, but it will be much better afterwards. When I came just now, the master asked Your Highness, can I attend the dinner tonight? Why don't you invite the prince to the palace?"

Lin Yutong shook her head: "No need to invite the prince consort. Today's life is special, so this imperial guard... let's call the prince consort to watch. Others are not at ease. As for the dinner..." She said, and asked Madam He, "My mother means, do you want me to attend, or do you not want me to attend."

Madam He was stunned, looked at the wound on Lin Yutong's body, and said, "If it doesn't hurt anymore, it's better to show her face."

That is, I still hope to go there.

Lin Yutong nodded: "Then mama, go and do it. When it's almost time, call me and I'll take a break."

"How is it?" Seeing that Madam He was back, Gan asked her while the girls were serving to change clothes, "Can Yunyin participate in the evening?"

"Yes!" Madam He whispered: "Your Highness said he would attend to the evening."

Gan nodded with satisfaction: "Today's life is special, please tell her to persevere." As he said that, he turned his face and asked Mama He, "How is it hurt?"

Madam He's eyes turned red and she gestured with her hands: "So long...so wide...so blue and purple are a little black, so long...a bloody cut...is very painful!"

Gan's brow frowned: "I asked the Imperial Hospital to send more people to guard it. If there is a bad thing, don't want the head on your head. The deacon who failed today will be sent to the Shenxing Department first. It will be chopped tomorrow!"

But no matter how many people were killed, they were injured or injured. Madam He pursed her lips, took two steps back, and responded: "Let me tell your highness if you turn around."

Gan then sighed: "The body hurts me and the heart of my mother. Besides, she is trying to protect me... You are right, this child must be his biological child! At the critical moment, she can rely on it."

Madam He smiled: "Mother and daughter are naturally like this."

"Madam..." Gan's face looked a little sad, "She not only saved my life today, but also..." Without her encouragement, she might really not have the courage to move forward.

No matter what, the ceremony of the throne was completed. The Gan family was the emperor who was rightly accused. As the first banquet after the throne, the imperial kitchen was really prepared with great effort. Since the fewer and fewer masters in the palace, even the chefs of the imperial kitchen were no longer useful. Now it is a new dynasty, and if the emperor changes, they will have a new atmosphere. Therefore, the preparations for the banquet were different from before. In the past, they were all one household at a time. This time, according to their identity.

The banquet is divided into tables, top-middle tables, middle tables, and lower tables. The banquet is set in the Imperial Palace Ceremony. Any fourth-rank official and above enjoy a banquet in the hall, and below the fourth-rank official and below are outside the Danban outside the hall. The dishes on the banquet table are also quite good. Each table has treasure tea, two dishes of Yunzi, two dishes of macaque, four dishes of nectar cake, eight large silver ingots, two pieces of fermented fish, two dishes of small silver ingots, five dishes of fruit, and four dishes, two flowers, three soup, and two pieces of mandarin duck rice

.The big steamed bun is four minutes, and each person drinks for five minutes. Not only that, they also have names and official positions on each seat. This is a seat. Everyone came 66 times. When they saw this posture, they didn’t understand anything. If anyone doesn’t give his humble attitude on the first day, then the emperor will not give him face. Those who say that they have no errands must participate, so they must participate. The seats are taken by this seat, and those who want to avoid the chaos cannot escape. The eunuchs in the audience,

Some hold small notebooks, some hold ink cartridges and brushes, which is to prepare for a record list. Many people can't help but change their faces. Some friends or relatives who have not met old friends, they quickly pay the money and beat people out of the palace to hand in their words, asking them to get them anyway. Naturally, no one stops these people. Not only is there no one stops them, but they also open the door to convenience. After all, the method of recording names is the purpose, and I hope that it will not be too ugly.

Prince Ying sat depressedly on the chair, looking at the table, the princes. Everyone looked at each other, but no one took the initiative to speak. He snorted and turned his eyes to a small table with Yun Yin's name written on it. The corners of his mouth smiled coldly. No one expected that Gan would use such a method to force someone to give her face. However, if her own daughter didn't come, she would see what she had the face to punish him. He had seen Yun Yin's ability today! In that kind of occasion, the mother and daughter did not have the fuel-saving lamp.

When Lin Yutong arrived, she could smell the fragrance of vegetables and meat from afar. The weather is still a bit cold at night. The food is served, and no matter how delicious it is, it will not be delicious when it is cold. Those who sit outside the hall are all fourth-rank officials who cannot enter. They sit upright and dare not speak. Today's life is special. These adults probably got up since the middle of the night and stood outside for most of the day. After the ceremony, few people dared to leave and go home immediately, and they all waited in the yamen. They had to come in advance at night and circled on the road. They must be hungry. Now facing the table full of food, they can only watch it, not eat it. This feeling is simply too cao|egg.

Where she passed by, everyone stood up to salute her. She tightened her cloak and felt the coldness of the night wind. Seeing a table next to her with a few old Hanlins with white beards still trembling, Lin Yutong waved to the eunuch who was serving her, "Go and pass on my words, the wine on the big table outside will be hot." After all, go to the cold.

"Xie Dianxiu." Everyone who heard Lin Yutong's words was a little grateful.

Lin Yu nodded and could not say more, otherwise she would really be inviting people to be inviting people to be heartbroken. She would not delay outside and go inside directly. There were people who saluted her, and there were people who needed to salute her. For example, some old princes in the royal family had the same title as Lin Yutong, but they were elders. Lin Yutong went to salute her, and most of them were humming lightly, and she didn't care. She just did not lose her respect. She went straight into the seat against the imperial throne and sat calmly. Then she closed her eyes and blocked all the gazes.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Gan's family arrived late.

Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-as the sound of three quiet whips from afar, everyone knew that the emperor was coming. The inside and outside of the hall, which was already extremely quiet, became even more quiet. Lin Yutong stood up from the seats with everyone, and then stood in the direction of Gan's coming.

The emperor's reliance stopped outside the hall.

Everyone bent down and shouted, "Holy blessing!"

Gan's mouth raised and he sang: "All officials are exempt from gifts!"

The official of the ritual followed and said loudly: "Your Majesty has an order - all officials are exempted from courtesy-"

Lin Yutong thought that Gan must have enjoyed this process very much at this moment. This feeling of being arrogant should be very intoxicating.

When Gan entered the hall and ascended to the seat, the surrounding area was still silent.

Lin Yutong didn't know what Gan would do next. Under normal circumstances, it was far from the time for the banquet. According to the process, the emperor and the officials would have some comments. Lin Yutong had seen many times. During each banquet, before the banquet, the Fourth Master would talk to some ministers. The Fourth Master praised the ministers for their sincere duties and outstanding achievements. The Ministers praised the virtues of the king and said something about peace all over the world. Anyway, the king and the ministers were shameless and flattered each other. The Fourth Master was very happy to listen. Although the ministers were trembling, they also felt very decent and honored.

But the relationship between Gan and the minister is far from this. So, how can you ask this? One question will definitely cause an accident.

The night became thicker. Gan looked over the faces of everyone in the hall one by one. Lin Yutong thought she wanted to choose the right person to come and talk to her. However, she didn't expect Gan to raise her cup directly, and then the eunuch passed the order and shouted: "Your Majesty brings you a drink--"

Suddenly, all the officials at the table stood up one after another. Lin Yutong also stood up and picked up the wine glass. However, the wine glass was not something to be drunk at this time. The wine glass was empty at this time and there was no wine at all. The palace banquet was a grand banquet of nine lords, and the seven lords were served in the palace. The wine could be drunk, but not excessive, otherwise it would be drinking indiscriminately. Therefore, in the banquet, there was a certain amount of drinking. Why can't we drink this cup? It was because the banquet was a nine lord wine. Only the emperor could drink the nine lords, but as a minister, the first and fourth lords, it was not an exception. Therefore, everyone raised the wine glass and watched Gan drink it.

"Your Majesty has finished drinking--"

Then everyone bent down and put down the wine glass. Lin Yutong said, "This ancient etiquette is particularly deceptive. If you are not proficient in "ritual", you must not go to a big occasion." That would be a joke if you accidentally make a joke.

She thought a lot, and when she sat down, the music came from her ears. This was the musical music of the Jiaofangsi. Immediately, a clear male and female voice sang: "The essence of Yan brings luck and rejuvenates the Holy Emperor. The Great Zhou Yuji, the faraway Yutang, the rivers and the sea feast, the things are prosperous, the people are prosperous, the people are prosperous, the people are prosperous, the virtues are recommended by Rong and Qiang, the eight treasures are recommended, the nine cauldrons are fragrant, the drums, bells, and the palace is energetic..." She was so shocked that she saw three teams of dancers coming in from outside the hall and began to dance the dance of pacifying the world. They were all wearing armor, holding shields and spears in their hands, and looked quite imposing.

Lin Yutong was just thinking about it, and the palace servant on the side of the table poured her a glass of wine with a wine pot. She then came back to her senses and saw that all the officials were already pouring wine.

When Gan's second-rank wine was drinking, the music played the song of the emperor's style. This time, all officials did not have to get up, but raised their glasses to drink together. This is the etiquette. Since Duke Zhou established the system of rituals and music, rituals and music represent the law of the emperor. If the law system is lost, it means that the etiquette and music collapse. Therefore, the dance music at the banquet is not used for simple appreciation, but also for education.

Lin Yutong followed everyone to drink and watch the dance. The martial arts that equip the world is martial arts. It means using martial arts to determine chaos. The chariots and books are together, which means that chariots and books are the same, and the world is unified, and peace is achieved through literary virtue. Now I only see martial arts but not Wenwu. Lin Yutong frowned a little.

Three teams of dancers were flying passionately in the hall, but Lin Yutong looked at the seat, but she could only see the heads surging up and down, which was extremely fast, and it was difficult to get the whole picture. Gradually, she lost interest. She had no attainment in music, and could not learn the ancients' method of judging sounds to understand the soulmate and judging sounds to know the music. She only felt that after the wine in the cup, a sense of enthusiasm rose on her chest. The wine was a good wine. Listening to the Yale, she couldn't help but knocked her index finger, gently beat the rhythm on her thighs, and half closed her eyes.

Just as he heard the sound of the ritual officer shouting again: "Your Majesty raises the chopsticks--"

Only after hearing this sound could we eat. Everyone picked up their chopsticks and started to move the wine and food at the banquet. It has been an hour since the wine and food. After so long, the wine and food will naturally become cold. But even if it is cold, who can still pay attention to it? In addition, everyone has been hungry for a long time and feels sweet when they eat it. As Lin Yutong instructed, all the wine and wine are served, which drives away the chill.

Maybe there is the sound of the music. Everyone is hiding in the sound of the music and starts to speak. Like whispers, a buzzing sound comes. This is inevitable, there are rules everywhere. Sitting with your boss and colleagues, it is always appropriate to have a cup of wine. At this time, the atmosphere of a big banquet is revealed. There is a certain meaning of a scrambling cup.

After drinking the wine in the cup, Gan's face became a little red. A little bit of heroism rose in his heart for no reason!

Lin Yutong smiled and poured a cup for herself. Gan hurriedly said, "If you have any injuries on your body, don't drink greedy."

But she had to finish the Qijue wine she should drink when she came in. She smiled, "It's not a big injury, it's okay!" As she said that, she picked it up and drank it.

"You child is really honest." Gan smiled, "I have to ask the imperial physician to look at you well."

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice heard: "Your Majesty, I wish you a cup."
To be continued...
