Chapter 676 (1/2)
During their conversation, two groups of ministers came in in fear, knelt down and saluted, saying long live you, but they all knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.
The eldest ministers painstakingly advised: ”Since ancient times, it has always been the king and the husband for heaven. Since the female monarch of Western Chu married to our Dayan as the queen, it is also right to kneel at this ceremony. If your majesty sets this precedent because of the deep love between young husband and wife, everything will be difficult in the future. Those rules will have to be changed. It will not be earth shaking!”
”The rules cannot be changed, and the etiquette cannot be disordered, your majesty!”
”Please think twice before you act!”
Xie Heng just had a good word with his brother-in-law. His eyes shifted slightly and fell on those ministers who shouted for the good of Da Yan and his majesty. Obviously, they were not so kind.
Emperor Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked the crowd, ”who set the etiquette and rules?”
Kneeling in the front, the eldest minister quickly looked up and replied, ”Your Majesty, this etiquette and rules were set by our great Yan ancestors and sages of all dynasties.”
As soon as these words came out, the old ministers knelt straight for a long time.
Xie Heng bent his fingers and Leng Buding knocked on the imperial case.
The crowd was shocked, bowed down and dared not make any more noise.
Xie Heng, sitting on the Dragon chair, has been busy fighting in the north and south for several years, and he has no time to take care of these old ministers who boast of being clean.
Previously, these individuals only occasionally stood up and advised his majesty that it was time to become a princess at the right age. They were very interested in the draft to extend the heir for his majesty, but no one really dared to chase after his majesty and ask him what to do.
Today, I really had the courage of a bear heart leopard before I dared to come to the imperial study.
But your majesty is not as straightforward as usual. He just sits with a light complexion and makes people uneasy with indifference.
Not to mention, there was a frosty chief assistant sitting next to his majesty. His expressionless appearance was almost the same as that of the judge next to the king of hell, just like a posture of waiting for his life to lift his pen and ink.
Xie Heng looked sideways and asked Lord Shoufu, ”did your ancestors say you can't change it?”
”No,” Xie said expressionless
Hearing the speech, all the eldest ministers immediately wanted to open their mouths and argue with Shoufu. Just at this time, the officials of the Western Chu couldn't help but say, ”look forward for a few hundred years. Which queen of Dayan took thousands of miles of rivers and mountains as her dowry?”
Wen Wen saw this and came out at the right time to sing a big black face. ”If you can find such a precedent, let's talk about who's up and who's up and who's down!”
The old ministers have made difficulties. This is unprecedented. It is because it is too strange that they must make rules and set their status to death, so as not to cause more trouble in the future.
But his majesty had to turn his elbow out, which was really worrying.
The eldest ministers couldn't help shouting: ”Lord Shoufu! Please advise your majesty!”
”What's the use of persuasion?” 'Xie Zhen said in a very light tone: ”he is my eldest brother at home. In the country, he is my king. He is a brother and a minister. Naturally, he should listen to the eldest brother of the king.”
Speaking of Xie Xuan's vigorous and resolute conduct in the affairs of government, but he stopped these old ministers to choose a concubine for his eldest brother three or four times, so he was bound to be gossiped behind his back. He said that Xie Xuan was only ostensibly loyal. In fact, he didn't think of his Majesty at all. He said that chief Fu was ill intentioned and had other schemes everywhere.
What's more, he said that Xie Yu had a little unclear mind about his parents' brother.
These words passed by without mentioning. Anyway, Xie Yu didn't take it seriously. He still ignored whether these individuals should be cold faced or cold faced.
Lord Shoufu didn't take it seriously by himself, but they always held that warming wine was the business of the female monarch of Western Chu. They had to make a fuss. Xie Yu simply ignored it and asked them to come under Emperor Yan to beg for hardship. When they had had enough, this man was sober.
The crowd watched the chief assistant shake his hand and ignore it. The more anxious his forehead was sweating, ”Your Majesty, you can't be confused about this!”
”Muddle headed? What is muddle headed?” Xie Heng said slightly with a handsome face: ”I'm patient to listen to you shouting here today. My mother told me to be polite to you. What's the matter? Are you going to kick your nose and face?”
All the people bowed to the ground and said, ”no!”
His majesty didn't grow up in the royal family. He didn't have that hypocrisy and elegance, and he didn't intend to pretend to be a magnanimous king.
For Xie Heng, everything is easy to say, except two things that have not been discussed.
You can't hurt our country an inch. You can't hurt me at all.
These people rushed to the edge of the knife and thought they were loyal. It can be seen that Leng Buding was dazed and terrified by his Majesty's question.
Xie Heng said, ”what do you mean by high and low? You are my husband and heaven? What I want is a big marriage! Do you understand the big marriage of white heads with one heart, harps and harps? Let my sweetheart kneel and kowtow and give a big gift on the day of the big marriage. Thanks to your imagination, it's the wife I've worked hard to marry! If I'm not afraid of her heartache, I'd like to kneel for her.”
The last sentence fell slowly, and all the old ministers were shocked. Their souls flew for nine days and nearly fainted to the ground.
Some of the old ministers who come here today are really for the sake of ancestral rules, some are harbouring ghosts, but they speak high sounding for their own consideration. In fact, he doesn't pay much attention to them.
Those who have eyes will not come today. The ministers of the younger generation know that your majesty attaches great importance to the empress and have long avoided it. Those who are most likely to cause trouble are kneeling here today.
