Chapter 34 At the banquet in Qiongyuan
"Wang Heng was named the top scorer and has something to do with me?" Yue Luo continued to pretend to be confused.
"That's right." Ji Wen nodded, and then said, "Brother Yue, I know that you have a close relationship with King Yunluo and use him as your backer. But do you know that the backer of Burial Heart was King Yunluo before. My father was able to meet Burial Heart, and it was also a secret match between King Yunluo. But you know the outcome of Burial Heart. You went to Qiongyuan to celebrate and dance. If something really happens, I hope you will think clearly before making a choice."
After hearing Ji Wen's words, Yue Luo fell silent.
She didn't expect that Ji Wen, the seemingly cowardly and incompetent prince, knew the secret of this, and now came to advise her. But—
"Young Master Ji, the world is rolling in, how can a weak woman have any choice?"
He said softly, blown away by the wind in Ji Wen's ears. Yue Luo turned around and left, leaving only Ji Wen looking at her back, his eyes gradually became obsessed.
In the afternoon, tens of millions of people watched the streets leading to Qiongyuan in the capital. The new Jinshi received countless admirational gazes in the sound of rituals and music. At the front were three people riding a tall horse with a finished character, the top scholar, the second scholar, the second scholar, the first scholar, the first scholar, the first scholar, the first scholar, and the first scholar, the first scholar, and the big red flowers on the chest were Wang Heng.
Saving the feeling of attention, Wang Heng had the most real smile on his face. Looking at the people watching on both sides, he suddenly saw Hu Lun. At this time, Hu Lun was with the scholars he had made that day, but he looked at him intently, his eyes full of astonishment.
Wang Heng slightly raised his head to these people, smiled with a cracked mouth, revealing his white teeth.
On this side, several scholars beside Hu Lun came to their senses and immediately started to discuss.
"Brother Hu, didn't you say that the first place Wang Heng is just the same name and surname?"
"Yes, Brother Hu, you said before that Wang Heng would definitely fail the exam, but now he is obviously riding a horse and wearing flowers, and he has won the top scorer."
"Yes, Brother Hu, you"
Listening to the constant questioning of the people around him and looking at their contemptuous eyes, Hu Lun wanted to find a gap to get in, and immediately covered his face and squeezed in and out of the crowd and ran away in panic.
Wang Heng saw this scene and felt a big vent of anger. He was in a very relaxed mood. He couldn't help but think of the scene when he was summoned by the emperor in Qiongyuan later.
When they arrived in Qiongyuan, the new Jinshi met and bowed to the emperor and all the officials under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites. The top scholar and second place, Tanhua was rewarded by the great emperor and sat with the princes and ministers, while the other Jinshi stood on both sides.
The beautiful music sounded and the banquet officially began.
When a group of dancers walked in, everyone suddenly looked at it, because the clothes were fluttering and the buns were tall, they were dressed in a scholar! Moreover, these scholars had no inner clothes, and they were slender and slender when dancing, and their white arms appeared and disappeared from time to time, which was fascinating.
Yue Luo was also dressed in a modified scholar uniform, and was in the center of the dancers, with a graceful and charming dance. Soon, a song that touched the heart sounded, and everyone didn't know what they were singing, but felt that they were trapped in a beautiful feeling and couldn't help themselves.
Finally, after a song and dance, Yue Luo knelt on the jade table of the Great Emperor. The scholar's hat rose into the sky with his long sleeves, instantly with beautiful hair fluttering, and fragrant wind gushing.
Looking back and smiling, the purple light flashed in Yue Luo's eyes, facing the eyes of the Great Emperor!
"Okay! OK! OK!"
The Great Emperor suddenly stood up and shouted three times. Now anyone can see his love for Yue Luo singing and dancing.
Wang Heng also came to his senses amid the cheers of the Great Emperor. Although he had watched Yue Luo rehearsal singing and dancing, he did not expect that when he officially performed, Yue Luo's dance posture and singing were so exciting. Even though the protagonist of this Qiongyuan banquet seemed to have changed from being the top scholar to Yue Luo, he had no complaints.
At this time, the great emperor said again: "The fairy with fallen flowers dances beautifully and not as beautiful as the world, and her singing is like the sound of nature. I think she is the leader of the world's flowers!"
Yue Luo stood up and gave a deep salute to the great emperor, extremely elegant.
The Great Emperor was even more happy when he saw it. He looked at Wang Heng and thought of something, and said, "Zhuangyuanlang, I heard that you were staying in the Luohua Pavilion of the Luohua Fairy?"
Wang Heng stood up quickly and bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, that's right."
The Great Emperor laughed: "I said, why does your article have a vague smell? It turns out that it is filled with the fairy spirit of a fairy."
Many of the ministers below frowned secretly when they heard the Emperor Dadi's words. The top scholar was staying in the fireworks and willow alley, and they shouldn't have taken it. Not only did the emperor take it, but now they say that the top scholar was affected by the fairy spirit of the fallen flower fairy - is this a rebellion? It should be that the fallen flower fairy was affected by the top scholar's glory, right?
However, in just one sentence, no one was willing to discourage the great emperor's graceful interest for this matter.
The great emperor did not seem to have noticed the strange atmosphere among the princes and ministers, and continued: "I felt the elegance of ancient sages in the singing and dancing of the fairy of the fallen flower. On the great day of the new top scholar, I welcomed the fairy of the fallen flower into the palace as a concubine. What do the ministers think?"
When the Emperor Dade said this, the lower part immediately became silent, and even the breathing stopped. But soon there was an uproar and many princes and ministers started to discuss it.
Yue Luo led a group of dancers in Luohua Pavilion to stand at the banquet, lowering his avatar and hearing nothing.
King Yunluo sat in the first place in his left hand, his eyes closed slightly, and he slowly savored a glass of wine. No one knew what he was thinking.
Wang Heng, who had not sat down there, looked surprised and looked at Yue Luo and then at Emperor Dade, with disbelief. He never expected that at this Qiongyuan banquet where the new Jinshi was invited, Emperor Dade actually wanted to take Yue Luo as his concubine!
Although many of the civil and military officials in the court were the cliques of King Yunluo and many of them were foolish and flattering people, there were one or two loyal ministers after all.
Amid the discussion, an old white-bearded minister in the second place in his right hand stood up and knelt down at the jade table of the Great De Emperor, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, you can't make the same mistake again! The two years ago, the courtesans buried their hearts as concubines have already caused criticism from the world; now if you want to take a lowly woman as your concubine, it will definitely cause resentment from heaven!"
The great emperor thought that the ministers would agree as before, but he didn't expect an old man to stop him. He immediately shouted: "Nonsense! I just added a concubine, how could it cause resentment from heaven and earth? I want my descendants of the Great Zhou Dynasty to last for thousands of years!"
"Your Majesty think twice!" The old minister kowtowed again, and the thud sounded loudly, and his head hit the ground and his blood marks were knocked out.
The Great Emperor shook his sleeves, turned around and said, "I have decided, so there is no need to discuss this matter anymore! The Ministry of Rites will handle it according to the order!"
The old minister raised his head slightly, took off his official hat, and said, "The emperor insisted on signing a lowly woman as a concubine. As the Minister of Rites, I cannot help the emperor abide by the etiquette. It is useless. I also ask the emperor to allow the old minister to retire and return home."
The Emperor Dade said without looking back: "The Left Minister of Rites is on his behalf as Minister of Rites, and is preparing to welcome the fairy fallen flower into the palace as a concubine!"
A minister in his forties and fifties stood up and bowed and said, "I will receive the order!"
The old minister sighed, stood up and walked out tremblingly.
Wang Heng looked at the old minister and looked at the back of the Great Deity Emperor, and sighed. He had long heard among the people that the Great Deity Emperor is no longer as wise as when he was young, but is addicted to women. He did not think so before, which emperor was not lustful? When he saw this incident today, he knew how stupid and incompetent the Great Deity Emperor was.
There are not many loyal and kind people in the civil and military affairs of this court.
Looking around, seeing that no one had advised the departure of the old minister of the Minister of Rites, Wang Heng had already seen the Great Zhou court clearly. Suddenly, a desire to leave arises in his heart, and he felt that it would be better to go to Jiuyou Palace to practice Taoism than to be an official in this court.
After the Minister of Rites left, the Emperor Dade turned around and said again: "The fallen flower fairy has unparalleled talent in the world. I will welcome him into the palace in three days and be named Concubine Hua! What do you think of all the beloved ministers?"
With the example of the Minister of Rites, no one came out to give advice again. They all stood up and bowed to the great emperor and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"
"I thanked the emperor." Yue Luo also brought the dance girls from Luohua Pavilion to thank him.
The Great Emperor hurriedly walked down and grabbed Yue Luo's simple hand, helped him up, and then grabbed Yue Luo's hand!
"Fairy, now you should call yourself a concubine to me." The Great Emperor held Yue Luo's hand, his eyes full of obsession, as if he wanted to hug Yue Luo in his arms now.
Yue Luo was about to use a small spell to pull his hand back without a trace, but a sound came from behind him, causing the Great Emperor to let go of Yue Luo's hand.
"Your Majesty, I have something to ask for!" Wang Heng stood up and shouted.
He felt very fucked as he watched Emperor Dade hold Yue Luo's hand. Although he liked Liu Feifei instead of Yue Luo, Yue Luo was inviolable in his heart.
The Great Emperor let go of Yue Luo's hand, faced Wang Heng, and said with a bad expression: "Oh, what request do you have?"
Wang Heng said: "When I was studying, I heard that the case of Liu Yi, the former left-level censor, was an unjust case, and I beg the emperor to issue an edict to remand it."
As soon as Wang Heng said this, everyone's eyes immediately focused on him, two of which were particularly profound. One was King Yunluo, and the other was the fragrant grass among the dancers.
The Yunluo King's wine glass was delivered to his mouth, but stopped, and looked at Wang Heng with a slight squint, his eyes extremely sharp.
Fangcao (Liu Feifei) looked at Wang Heng with surprise, and she didn't expect that Wang Heng would ask the emperor to rehabilitate her father at the Qiongyuan Banquet.
The great emperor looked at Wang Heng with a strange look and asked, "Zhuangcai Lang, what is your relationship with Liu Yi?"
"It's not relatives, it's not because of it."
"Then why do I need to re-invest his case? Don't you know that the evidence of Liu Yi's case of framed King Yunluo is conclusive, and the case has been decided?" Emperor Dade asked again.
Wang Heng bowed deeper, but his voice was louder: "I would like to guarantee the innocence of the former Zuodu Censor with his fame as the top scholar. Please ask the emperor to re-invest the case!"
