Chapter 980 (1/2)
As Li Hong had expected, when the royal army arrived not far from Baqiao, they had to stop slowly. However, neither Li Hong nor Wu Mei, nor other kings, got off the bus or even stopped.
After Shangguan Wan'er got out of the car, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, Shangguan Wan'er was doomed to lose the Royal respect they wanted.
Some old men were at a loss, and their thin beards looked bleak and embarrassed in the breeze, especially Kong Yuan and Yan Yude. They thought that even if they could not distinguish the sages today, at least after they had argued with the emperor, the status of the sages, Confucians and sages would be raised in any case, so that the people of the world could at least see the courtesy of their majesty to them, thus making them appear in their shadow The sound power increased greatly.
However, things were not as they thought. They had planned to choose this day. They even waited here two days in advance, so that in today's prosperous Tang Dynasty, the influence of Confucianism could be restored to the period of strong Han Dynasty with the power of the royal family.
Although we don't expect the sage to respect Confucianism like Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it is enough for them to restore the influence of Confucianism to its former heyday.
But his majesty didn't even show up. He even risked not respecting the literati and doctors in the world, rather than argue with them here.
In front of Kong Yuan and Yan Yude, Shangguan Wan'er, dressed in palace clothes, was graceful and elegant. She did not, as they expected, take the lead in saluting after seeing their old men.
It was like waiting for them to salute. With a smile on his face, he looked at their old men one by one, and then just looked back at the eunuch behind him.
The carriage that Kong Yuan and others stopped in the middle of the road was pushed aside by eunuchs and the central army to make way for the royal procession.
Kong Yuan and others, who stood in confrontation with Shangguan Wan'er, drove away their carriages before the two sides had the same salute. Although it was not too much, it made them think that in the name of sages and sages, Kong Yuan and others, who thought that the royal family could salute them first, were somewhat embarrassed.
They overestimated their status in the hearts of the royal family, and even overestimated their influence in the hearts of the people in the world. They thought that with their reputation, how could they get your majesty out of the car and meet them politely.
But who would have thought that his majesty, who never followed the rules, even in the face of them, twice in a row had given him an embarrassing turn off.
”My husband Kong Yuan and Yan Yude met the imperial concubine of Shangguan. Shangguan Yi, the grandfather of Shangguan imperial concubine, was intelligent and eager to learn Kong Yuan and Yan Yude are red faced, and they are the first to salute.
To their surprise, Shangguan Wan'er even nodded slightly, even without saluting, just like facing other people in the world.
After driving away the carriages, the Royal team behind Shangguan Wan'er began to move on silently. No one really took things seriously.
”A few years ago, his majesty ordered that the so-called” five surnamed aristocrats ”were forbidden to use all kinds of things directly related to Taiyi city. As a result, within two months, they didn't even have quilts and cotton clothes for winter, and they couldn't describe their respective residences too much. The old gentlemen are obviously not pedantic. The wheels of the carriage are very good. The wheels like this can be said to be more suitable for the old gentlemen, because they are less moving and less moving and less bumpy to sit on. ” Shangguan Wan'er looked at the black rubber wheel, and even at the connection between the axle and the carriage, the spring was also added for shock absorption.
