Chapter 93 Da Yong

In winter, it rains and the new wind blows.

There were not many pedestrians on the street, and now it became even colder.

Few people are paying attention to the various markets in Beijing, and the shop owners and staff are looking at the sky in vain and sighing.

However, not long after, the sound of horse hooves clattered at the end of the quiet street, heavy and connected, with shouts mixed in. In no time, a general wearing armor and gray hair sat high on his horse, leading a group of cavalry to quickly run through the street, only heading towards the location where the Forbidden Army was stationed at the gate of the capital city.

Everyone was horrified to see it.

After the group of people who were slaughtered left this street, the shop owners and staff dared to sigh, but they were all afraid and said, "What's going on here?"

The tighter the wind, the more clouds cover the sky.

The falling rain quickly turned into snow, and the first snow of this winter finally fell.

*

Sometimes Jiang Xuening thought that after all, the heavens had left some mercy for her.

At least she met Zhang Zhe again.

She walked around the water pavilion and quickly arrived at the front hall. The small fine snow scattered from the sky, and she felt a little regretful when she saw it: Zhang Zhe's favorite is rain, and now it has turned into snow, shouldn't he be very happy?

The front hall is already full of guests.

She also wanted to sit directly in the seat.

However, when we reached the corner of the corridor ahead, we unexpectedly saw Jiang Boyou, who seemed to be talking to his colleagues in the court.

Today, Yan is celebrating the coronal ceremony, and some officials in the court are also taking risks.

Jiang Boyou is naturally one of them.

He was wearing a round necked robe with a hundred blessings pattern in stone blue, standing with another person under the strong pine tree planted in the courtyard. His eyebrows furrowed as he listened to the person's words, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's easy to offend other families, but offending this young master Xiao is a bit difficult. The Zheng family is really pitiful."

The person sighed and said, "Who knows? We all know about the Zheng family at the entrance of the West Market. I heard that there is also a son who has been sent to work in the palace. Although he is not considered a wealthy family, the lives of the ordinary people are also good. But when we encounter the Xiao family, who dominate people's land and property, we can just force people to move their ancestral graves. It's a bit tragic to even want to send our whole family to prison."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and saw Jiang Xuening.

So he swallowed the rest of his words and smiled at Jiang Boyou, saying, "Your Excellency, I've been talking about it for a long time before. Now, your love has arrived."

Jiang Boyou turned his head and saw Jiang Xuening. His originally furrowed eyebrows widened slightly, and he bowed to his colleague with a slight apology. The colleague didn't mind, so he also bowed to Jiang Xuening and walked into the hall.

When Jiang Xuening just came over, she heard a few words.

She approached Jiang Boyou to salute, but couldn't help but ask, "Did your father mention the Zheng family in the Hu Kou Tong neighborhood of the West Market just now when he was talking to someone?"

Jiang Bo said, "Exactly, why do you know each other?"

He remembered that there was indeed a person from the Zheng family working as a servant in the palace, and his mind moved, so he asked an additional question.

Jiang Xuening remembered Zheng Bao, because in his previous life Zheng Bao was the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department, and where he lived naturally became known to everyone in the court and the public. She hasn't forgotten the words "Xishikou Hutong" yet.

Upon hearing Jiang Boyou's affirmation, she kept an eye on it.

The last time there was no Zheng Bao around Yang Zhizhai, it would have been difficult, so she advised Jiang Bo, "This family is mostly the family of Zheng Bao, a eunuch who serves in the Kunning Palace. Perhaps the father didn't know that his daughter's investigation of Yang Zhizhai helped her escape from danger. It was thanks to this person's random response and kindness and loyalty.". And later, Mr. Xie once told his daughter that Duke Wang Xinyi, who was in charge of the ritual, had a heart to take him as his disciple and would soon be promoted to serve the Holy One... "

At the second half of the sentence, although there was no one around, her voice still fell a lot, only Jiang Boyou could hear it.

Zheng Baohui was taken as an apprentice by Wang Xinyi to serve in the Ministry of Rites. Of course, Jiang Xuening did not learn about this from Xie Wei. Xie Wei did not intentionally inform her of this matter, but it did not prevent her from dragging Xie Wei out for temporary use.

Sure enough, as soon as she mentioned the matter, Jiang Boyou's face slightly changed.

People who have been wandering in the officialdom for a long time have always known the meaning behind the vernacular without saying it deeply.

The Zheng family has offended Xiao Ye, the son of the Xiao family who was determined to inherit the family business. In fact, it was not the fault of the Zheng family. It was only because when Xiao Ye was traveling outside the capital, he took a liking to a mountain and the land below, and wanted to circle it as his hunting ground and build a summer retreat, so he drove out all the surrounding families.

The ancestral tomb and farmland of the Zheng family are right over there.

I thought I could reason with the Xiao family, but I didn't want to sue them in the yamen. Instead, it angered Xiao Ye and he wanted to send the Zheng family to the yamen instead.

It was the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture who had just spoken to Jiang Boyou.

Such a thing falls into my hands, it's really hot potato, so I poured bitterness into Jiang Boyou.

At present, it is a tumultuous autumn. For civil and military officials, it is better to have less to do more, and the same is true for Jiang Boyou. But if Zheng Bao had shown kindness to Lady Ning in the palace, and Xie Ju'an said that this person had a bright future, things would be different.

He frowned deeply in thought.

Finally, he said to Jiang Xuening, "I know about this matter. Don't worry."

The coronation ceremony was approaching, and everyone entered.

Jiang Boyou said, "Are you coming with the eldest Royal Highness Princess? Come on, let's go in quickly."

Jiang Xuening knew that Jiang Boyou should have an idea, but she didn't ask much. She just said "yes" and then followed Jiang Boyou into the hall.

Even though the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion is not at its peak, this hall is still filled with guests in grand attire. Just a glance inside reveals Xie Wei sitting in the position of the main guest. Next to him is the admirer who will crown Yan Lin today.

Jiang Xuening took a quick glance, and a small part of them were familiar faces.

In the previous life, many aristocratic families who were originally relatively close to the Marquis of Yong Yi did not arrive after receiving an invitation from the Marquis's mansion. Later, Yan Lin returned to court and Xie Wei rebelled. These families were either liquidated and eradicated together, or they withdrew from the conflict and scattered to the edge of power; Despite the turbulent situation, most of the people who rushed to the Marquis's Mansion to congratulate Yan Lin for his coronation have become the core of the new generation of power. Even if a few people eat the emperor's salary and are loyal to the emperor, condemning Yan Lin's assistance in Xie Wei's rebellion, it has not attracted any retaliation. Even if no high-ranking officials were caught, at least they are safe and sound.

Sometimes things in the world are like this: sometimes you want to avoid trouble, but you don't know how to avoid it to bring about real trouble; Sometimes I want to get something, but I don't realize that getting it is a deeper loss.

After Shen Zhiyi and others arrived, they didn't even see Jiang Xuening left or right. They were also a bit anxious. As soon as they saw her coming in, they quickly waved and said, "Ning Ning, this way."

Jiang Xuening walked over.

Although the defense between men and women in the Great Qian Dynasty was not as severe, most men's crowns were not attended by female guests except for their elders. But Princess Shen Zhiyi of Leyang, after all, has a noble status and can be considered a good friend who grew up together with Yan Lin. Naturally, she can attend in the hall, and her position is still very advanced.

These accompanying readings in the palace are all stained with her light, located nearby.

Jiang Xuening was even pulled by Shen Zhiyi and sat directly beside her.

Someone lightly tapped a small copper bell in the hall, and the surroundings immediately fell silent.

For a moment, everyone's gaze gathered on the hall.

Wearing a heavy and luxurious attire, the brave Hou Yanmu walked out of the back hall with the help of the old butler. As soon as everyone saw it, they quickly bowed. Although Yan Mu had a sickly expression on his face, he couldn't help but muster up his energy on such a joyful day today. He had a somewhat youthful aura, and even smiled after returning the salute.

"Thank you all for your esteemed presence. Our Marquis's Mansion is truly magnificent." His gaze fell on the dark crowd of people in this hall, with a hint of nostalgia and satisfaction in his sharp eyes. "Yan Mu, who had been busy on the battlefield for forty-five years, went to Luntai in vain. Unexpectedly, he was slightly older but was plagued by old illness, which made everyone laugh.". Today's wind and snow are cold, but everyone has been able to not give up. They have given me the dignity of an old man and also given me the dignity of a dog. I, Yan Mu, will always remember this in my heart. Thank you here

After speaking, he bowed with a long body.

Speaking of today's "cold wind and snow", without mentioning the difficulties faced by the current court and the Marquis's Mansion, everyone easily understood the underlying meaning.

I want to be a loyal and resolute member of the Marquis's Mansion. When Yan Mu was young, he also led troops to fight and expel the Tartars. However, now he has been ordered by the Holy Emperor, and the heavy army is still surrounding the mansion. His sword and sword are hanging around his neck, and his life is unknown. It is truly regrettable.

How can everyone afford such a great gift?

For a moment, everyone was busy saying, "Marquis speaks seriously" and "Marquis cannot do it", and he repaid it with a deep bow.

The coronation ceremony has just officially begun.

The entire front hall is arranged similar to the ancestral hall and temple.

Yan Lin was dressed in a new plain colored robe with overlapping lapels. She walked in from outside the hall according to ancient customs, first kowtowing to heaven and earth, then worshipping the ancestral temple, and then worshipping her parents. The person who praised her attended the prayer and read the blessings before performing the coronation ceremony.

The three noble families were added.

Yan Lin opened his hands and let the seemingly heavy black robe drape over his shoulders, enveloping him deeply. The wide and long leather belt also passed through his waist through the hands of the admirer, and a round jade pendant with auspicious patterns was tied to the belt, hanging low and pressing down on the hem.

He bowed before bowing again.

The admirer exclaimed, "Three crowns and three crowns, please, distinguished guests!"

The most important way to perform a crown ceremony is to add a crown.

The guest of honor in the coronation ceremony, also known as the "grand guest", is often a person of high moral standing and prestige. They should personally add crowns to the recipient and also choose characters for them.

As soon as the voice of the admirer came out, everyone's gaze fell on Xie Wei.

According to etiquette, the grand guests should dress appropriately.

Today's Xie Wei not only lacked formal attire, but even wore a snow-white robe with a white crane cloud patterned cloak over it. The wide robe and large sleeves exuded a graceful and elegant demeanor, which was somewhat out of place with today's grand ceremony and public attire.

However, the host did not say a word.

Yan Mu also looked at Xie Wei.

Xie Wei remained silent for a long time, then finally lowered his gaze, got up gently, and walked forward.

Yan Lin looked up at him and turned to stand towards him.

The servants in the mansion handed over a lacquered plate with a crown at the end, which was served by the admirer. They bowed their heads and stood by Xie Wei's side.

The crown with hair tied is carved from white jade, measuring three inches in length and one and a half inches in height. The crown is rolled back and six beams are pressed and sewn, quietly placed on a lacquer plate. When the sky shines, it is simple and clear, with an ancient style.

A pair of simple wooden hairpins are placed next to the crown.

===Kunning Section 121===

The golden crown is often paired with a jade hairpin, while the jade crown is often paired with a wooden hairpin. The former is rich and luxurious, while the latter shows a touch of aloofness.

It is evident how the family teachings of the Marquis of Courage and Perseverance are.

Xie Wei said, "The crown is the beginning of etiquette. As an adult, as a son of a person, as a younger brother, or as a young person, one should first follow the etiquette of filial piety, younger brother, and obedience. Later, one can become a person and then govern others. At the request of your father, I will crown you and sincerely hope that the Crown Prince will remember today's teachings."

He picked up the jade crown from the lacquer tray.

Yan Linze lifted his robe and knelt down in front of him.

Everyone's attention was focused on Xie Wei's hand, but they paid very little attention to what he said, after all, the congratulations on the coronation ceremony were all the same. However, Jiang Xuening, who was standing below watching the ceremony, felt a heart skip as she listened——

Less.

Xie Wei's congratulations are missing!

In the Book of Rites, it is said that becoming an adult means "being a son of a person, being a younger brother, being a minister, and being a young person", and what one should do is "filial piety, younger brother, loyalty, and obedience". However, Xie Wei only mentioned being a son of a person, being a younger brother, and being a young person, but he did not mention "being a minister", nor did he mention half of the word "loyalty"!

At this moment, Yan Lin also raised his head, his sharp and cold gaze piercing directly onto Xie Wei's face.

Xie Wei lowered his eyes and placed the jade crown on Yan Lin's head, calmly saying to him, "Hang your head down."

Yan Lin's heart was shaken like a surging river, with surprises and fears, but at that moment, he dared not show any signs. After looking at him for a moment, he finally bowed his head according to his words.

The admirer then handed over the wooden hairpin.

Xie Wei took it over.

Just as he was about to pass the wooden hairpin through the jade crown to tie Yan Lin's hair, there was suddenly a clamor of swordsmen outside the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion. At the entrance, it seemed that the guards of the Marquis's Mansion shouted loudly, "What are you doing?" Then it came to an abrupt end, followed by screams and screams, and one person shouted in a cold and stern voice: "The emperor has orders. The Yongyi Marquis's Mansion colluded with the rebels, intending to rebel and incite mutiny in the army. Now they will be punished as unruly officials and thieves!"! All the people in the Marquis's Mansion will be captured, and anyone who dares to resist will be shot to death

"What!"

All the guests in the hall were startled and panicked, looking out.

The brave Hou Yanmu was even more shaken and suddenly stood up!

The snow outside had grown heavier at some point, and a group of soldiers holding swords and swords, their armor shining with a cold cold light, looked directly at the guards blocking the entrance, and walked with heavy and solemn steps into the mansion door, walking towards the front hall.

The soldier with a gloomy expression on his face was none other than Duke Dingguo Xiao Yuan!

Jiang Xuening's fingers tightly clasped in her sleeves couldn't help but tremble. The bloody scenes she had seen in the previous life at the entrance of the Marquis's Mansion seemed to surge up from the bottom of her vision, making her feel like she was in an ice cave!

Everyone knows that the future of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion is uncertain and in danger, and there is a possibility of accidents at any time.

But today there is nothing to say in the Yanlin Guanli Palace, it must have been tacitly approved by the Holy One.

No one expected that the Holy Emperor would choose to take action today, and the person leading the way was the famous Duke of Dingguo, Xiao Yuan, from the Xiao family!

Suddenly, almost everyone was in a state of confusion due to this huge change.

Yan Mu's old eyes were fixed on Xiao Yuan as he approached.

Yan Lin's pupils shrank and he was about to get up, but at this moment, one hand fell heavily, pressing heavily on his shoulder.

He raised his head.

It was Xie Wei's palm that tightly pressed down on his shoulder, gripping the hot blood that suddenly surged up his head. However, from this angle of looking up, it was impossible to distinguish the other person's expression clearly. He only felt calm like the deep sea, without any visible waves. However, a clear perception came from his shoulder: the pressure on his five fingers was tight, and his fingertips were almost deeply immersed in his flesh!

Xie Wei blinked lightly, as if unable to see the shocking change or hear the terrifying movement, his gaze still resting on his crown.

After suppressing Yan Lin, raise your hand again and hold onto the jade crown.

The wooden hairpin was held between his slender fingers, slowly rotating and piercing into the hole at the bottom of the jade crown. His brows and eyes were as calm as the rain on a green mountain, with a hint of solemn solemnity added to his seclusion. He only said quietly, "A hero must surpass others. He drew his sword and stood up to fight, which is a disgrace to every man. When he died, he was not startled, and without reason, he was not angry. Only then could he be called the greatest hero in the world. The Crown Prince should not be surprised or angry."
