Chapter 1621 Something went wrong
As the sun sets, the music in the Heavenly Dao Hall is loud.
At this time, the officials in the palace had already set up tables in front of the ministers. The ministers sat cross-legged, with fruits and snacks on the tables. On the ground in the middle, eighteen men wearing armor were performing their skills.
The armor on them was not the armor on the Qin Dynasty, but the costumes used for performances. However, when worn, they were also majestic. The eighteen men's movements were coordinated, and each movement was clean and neat, full of the style of resoluteness and decisiveness of soldiers.
This is the shocking trend of performing military music.
Although I watched the performance for an afternoon, everyone here was not tired, and even the queen did not look tired at all because of the time.
Those who can enter the palace to perform their art are carefully selected art troupes, and they all offer their unique skills. For this birthday ceremony, each art troupe has of course carefully prepared and tried all its tricks. Every skill is really wonderful and makes people feel tired.
Everyone knows that after the shock of the enemy, it is the finale of the Peacock Platform. The Jinling Bird, known as the Princess of the Kingdom, will present the peacock flowing clouds.
The officials present watched Zhen Kou Feng's performance, and they were whispering, smiling and commenting in a low voice. Chi Liandian sat upright and looked straight, and still sat in a military face.
The emperor sat on the chair, gently caressed his long beard. When the Zhenkofeng performance was completed, the emperor smiled and said, "It was indeed a sonorous and exciting..." He asked the queen, "Queen, what do you think?"
The queen chuckled and said, "Everything the Lord said it was OK, then it must be excellent."
"That may not be." The emperor smiled and said, "In my opinion, the queen is afraid that she likes the performance of the Peacock Platform more..." Xiang Zhenkofeng said, "You have done a good job. I allow you to stay in the hall and watch the dance of the National Sisters together!"
When the officials heard this, they were a little surprised and thought that although the emperor was old, he still loved the style of the battlefield. So many art troupes before performed on stage, and many of the performances were exquisite. The emperor did not praise him too much from beginning to end. At this moment, he left Zhen Kou Feng in the hall and allowed them to watch the peacock flowing clouds. This was a great favor.
The leader of Zhen Koufeng immediately brought people to thank him, and then retreated aside under the leadership of the eunuch. The Heavenly Dao Hall was magnificent and spacious, and it was no problem to accommodate hundreds of people. Zhen Koufeng was in it, so there was naturally no pressure.
The Jinling Bird is famous, and it is already dark. In the hall, the Taoist priests who are sanitating around have already lit the palace lanterns under the instructions of Xuanzhen Taoist Sect.
On the square outside the hall, hundreds of palace lanterns were lit at this moment, inside and outside the Heavenly Dao Hall, bright as daytime.
"Xuanjinling Peacock Platform Enter the Hall!" The eunuch in front of the hall received an order and shouted the order outside the hall. Soon, people in the square saw a gorgeous lotus platform slowly moving towards the Heavenly Dao Hall. The lotus platform was extremely exquisite under the lights. Many people saw the lotus platform moving, and first they felt the light in front of them, and then someone said wonderingly: "Why can the platform move by itself?"
Then someone said, "Look clearly, there are people under the platform..."
Everyone looked carefully and saw clearly that the legs were slowly moving under the lotus platform. Lotus flowers were scattered around the lotus platform, so the person holding the lotus platform was only half of his body exposed, and above his chest, he could not see it at all.
The lotus platform is too exquisite and dazzling, so many people ignore that there are still people holding it down below. Although the lotus platform does not look huge, it is not small. At first glance, it is hard to imagine that a person can support such a lotus platform.
Soon, everyone's eyes were attracted by the scene behind the lotus platform. The Jinling Bird was wearing peacock clothes, with graceful figures, light steps, and colorful clothes, just like a colorful peacock.
Beside Jinlingque, there was a woman following each on the left and right. They were also dressed in amazing clothes. One woman was dressed in green clothes, and the other woman was dressed in fiery red clothes. Her face was covered with makeup, and she couldn't see her true appearance at all.
"Hey, that's the Qingluan Fire Phoenix!" someone said loudly.
Among myths and legends, the Green Luan Fire Phoenix is the second only to the Phoenix. The Blue Luan is the Luan and the Red is the Phoenix.
The green phoenix and fire phoenix are naturally extremely dazzling with the peacock.
Behind him, there was another strange bird dressed in feathers. Judging from his body shape, he was obviously a man, but his body was covered with black feathers, so he couldn't see his true appearance clearly.
When the five-person group of Peacock Platform entered the hall, it made everyone in the hall lit up. Feng Yuanpo's eyes swept, swept over the black feathers, and then his eyes fell under the lotus platform. Looking at the legs wrapped in white feathers under the lotus platform, a smile flashed through his eyes.
Walking through the beautiful pool in the hall, the lotus platform stopped. The Jinling Bird, dressed in peacock clothes, had already stepped forward and saluted: "Jinling Peacock Platform, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress!"
The emperor nodded slightly and said no more.
At this moment, he saw the head of the Hexi Ministry of Rites suddenly step out and said, "I am calling you, the auspicious time has come. It is the time to offer birthday noodles. I ask the emperor to use birthday noodles and watch the dance skills again!"
Feng Yuanpo hurriedly said, "Master, it's time to offer birthday noodles!"
The emperor nodded and smiled, "Today is my birthday, and I still need to use this bowl of birthday noodles."
Feng Yuan turned around and said to Yang Zhen: "Master Yang, don't let someone present the birthday noodles!"
Soon, two palace servants appeared outside the hall, carrying jade plates. Among them was the birthday noodles in golden bowls. Two Taoists had already taken the birthday noodles, turned into the hall, and sent them to the hall.
The two bowls of longevity noodles were naturally shared by the emperor and the queen. Two Taoist priests came to the hall and were about to present the longevity noodles, but they heard a voice suddenly saying, "Let's wait!"
Everyone was stunned and looked in the voice, but they saw that it was the Liaodong Governor Chi Liandian who was speaking.
"What does Dianshou mean?" Feng Yuan frowned slightly: "It is the auspicious time for the birthday gift. Why did Dianshou stop it? This is not auspicious."
Chi Liandian said lightly: "Governor Feng, isn't there any rules for the emperor to eat? Could it be that the meals used by the emperor and the queen were so careless?"
Feng Yuanpo frowned and said, "What does the Dianshou mean?"
Chi Liandian said lightly: "As far as I know, you must check the meals of the emperor first to make sure they are safe before they can be eaten. However, when I saw the birthday party present, there was no check, so I made a sound to stop them." Turning to the emperor, he bowed and said: "Master, today's birthday ceremony is a grand event in the empire, and it is naturally a time for the celebration of the whole world, but for this, you should be more careful."
At this moment, the two Taoist priests had already presented the longevity noodles to the emperor and the queen. The emperor did not pick it up, looked at Chi Liandian, and smiled and said, "What do you mean is that there is something wrong with this longevity noodles?"
Feng Yuanpo immediately knelt down on the ground and shouted: "I ask the emperor to issue an order to kill me in front of the palace!"
Everyone was stunned, and the emperor stroked his beard and said, "Why did Duke Zhongguo say this?"
"Report to the Lord, I have repeatedly told you every procedure for the birthday ceremony of heaven and strictly checked it." Feng Yuanpo's voice choked up: "I am even more careful about the meals of the Lord and dare not be careless at all. But in the end, I have worked hard and was suspected by the Dian Zheng... If I can make the Dian Zheng suspicious, it has proved that I have done something bad. If I have done something bad about the birthday ceremony of heaven and that I can only ask the Dian Zheng to sue me!"
"Duke Zhongguo is too sensitive." The emperor waved his hand and smiled: "Chi Liandian is just to be cautious, not to target you!"
Feng Yuan shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the dissatisfaction of the Dianshang with his ministers is not a day or two. Today, the Dianshang's words are not a whim..."
Chi Liandian's face did not change his color, but looked at Feng Yuanpo with no expression.
The emperor said "Oh" and asked, "Why did Duke Zhongguo say this?"
Feng Yuanpo hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Report to the emperor, since the emperor was on the northern tour and arrived in Hexi, the whole Hexi was grateful. The dragon walked here, which was a blessing for Hexi. The soldiers and civilians in Hexi were all grateful to the emperor." After a pause, he looked up at the emperor, and his eyes turned red, "But the minister was criticized by some people for this...!"
"Oh?" the emperor frowned.
Feng Yuanpo said seriously: "I am a rough man, and I only want to be loyal to the emperor, protect my country, and go through fire and water for the emperor... I have a clear conscience to the emperor's loyalty, and the world can be seen. Moreover, I have always said that I am a dog of the emperor, who is loyal to him. If the emperor asks me to bite, I will bite whoever I dare to violate the power of heaven, even if I will be crushed to pieces, I will fight to the death with him." He was righteous and righteous: "But for this reason, some people regard it as a thorn in their eyes."
Chi Liandian sneered: "Does some of the people Governor Feng mentioned include me Chi Liandian?"
Feng Yuan turned around and looked at Chi Lian Di and said coldly: "What do you think the Ding Maleman?"
"I am very strange. I am just reminding you to be more careful about the meals eaten by the emperor, but I didn't expect that Governor Feng would be so hoarse." Chi Liandian said lightly: "Why is Governor Feng so excited because of one sentence? Is there really a problem in this?"
Feng Yuanpo sneered: "If this sentence comes from someone else's mouth, I would only think it is kindness and loyalty to the Lord, and I would not be so excited. But this sentence comes from your mouth of Chi Lian Electric, I have to argue."
He had already called him by his name at this time, and it was obvious that he had already broken up in public.
All the officials present were shocked, and even the prince frowned. Everyone knew that Feng Yuanpo was a good person. His greatest ability was to dare to harm himself and degrade himself. When interacting with others, he would always show a heart-to-heart attitude. People who are not clear-cut and true are often confused by him, and they only think that this governor of Hexi is a person of temperament and is loyal to others.
Feng Yuanpo has always given people the feeling of being polite and smiling. Not to mention the founding heroes of the imperial fathers like Chi Liandian, even ordinary officials with a much lower status than Feng Yuanpo. Feng Yuanpo never put on airs and seemed very enthusiastic to people. No one would have thought that today's birthday ceremony was just because of Chi Liandian's words. Feng Yuanpo reacted so excitedly, and in full view of everyone, he actually broke up with Chi Liandian in public. This was completely different from Feng Yuanpo in people's hearts.
Everyone in the palace was a senior official of the empire, and they all understood that something abnormal would be evil. Feng Yuan's behavior made everyone feel that things today seemed a bit difficult.
