Chapter 111 The Emperor's Gift (1)(2/2)
But this is definitely an opportunity for me. If I seize this opportunity, it will definitely help the future things and my dreams will be realized slowly.
He was lying on the bed and heard the knock on the door outside again.
He moved slightly and hid barefoot behind the door without making any sound.
The knocking sound lasted for a long time, then I heard a "huh" sound outside and then pushed the door open and walked in with an extremely vague shadow.
The shadow looked around and couldn't help but murmured to himself: "I'm obviously back, where have I gone."
Wang Xian had already heard who it was at this time, but he still hid at the door without saying a word.
The shadow took out the fire broke out from his arms and lit the candle on the table. He slowly shone the room and looked at the bed first and then at the table. He whispered by the window: "Is it still gone?"
Wang Xian saw the black shadow and was about to walk out, and couldn't help but walk out and said, "Zhibing came over in the middle of the night and then spontaneously burned the candlelight and didn't know what was going on?"
The black shadow turned his head and Zhou Bing said with a strange look on her face: "Where did you hide just now?"
Wang Xian walked to the table and said, "Tell me what's going on tonight?"
Seeing that he was straightforward and said nothing nonsense, Zhou Bing said, "What I want to tell Chen Bei today is that the current emperor died of illness a few days ago. At this time, there was a new emperor."
Wang Xian looked at Zhou Bing with full curiosity and asked, "How did you know?"
Seeing that he was not surprised, Zhou Bing couldn't help but ask, "Do you already know?"
Wang Xian sighed and said, "I do know and the new emperor will ascend the throne in a few days. I don't know what this King Duan will do if he is a fool."
Zhou Bing couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "The emperor has no good and evil, but he is just a mortal. What he wants to ruin is to destroy together, from the emperor to the high officials of the court, from the prime minister, and ordinary minor officials."
Wang Xian smiled and said, "This is almost impossible to rely on the emperor for everything. Those corrupt officials are the root of the bad country."
Zhou Bing pondered for a moment and said, "I originally wanted to remind you that the emperor has changed. According to the customs of the Song Dynasty, the empress dowager will be on the curtain. Then the officialdom will change greatly from now on, so don't get in too deep, otherwise the big tree will crush the flowers and plants next to you."
Wang Xianyi smiled and said, "Why care if the tree falls and can still stand up?"
He looked at the misty little rain outside and said, "Look at the spring rain 'smile into the night with the wind and moisten things silently', but can it blow on me? It can't be because it has not come into this officialdom and the same is true if you don't walk in, you will never understand what an official is? So I will not withdraw."
Zhou Bing frowned and said, "I think you are obsessed with it."
Wang Xian smiled and said, "It's almost the same as the ghost, but I have different ideas from you. That brother will still be obsessed with it to outsiders. Zhibing. Although I don't know what your identity is and what background you have, I understand that you are a person with a good heart, but some things need to be done, but it's not wishful thinking. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhou Bing sat here at this time and wanted to speak but stopped.
Wang Xian said slowly: "I know you don't understand the matter in the officialdom. I think it must be extremely dark. But in fact, it's not because officials are also human beings. Even if the officialdom causes some changes, many things cannot be changed. They may have a heavy selfish desire, but they will never be the kind of people who regard human life as grass. Those who are in high positions are determined to make the country rich and the people safe. From Zhao Pu to Fan Zhongyan to Wang Anshi to Sima Guang, they are all like this."
Zhou Bing stood up and said, "I know I can't tell you, you should take care of yourself."
She thought about it and took out a small box from the back and said, "I brought you a piece of Lantern Festival last year on Yuan Dynasty. I don't know if you have eaten it. But this year on Yuan Dynasty, I'll bring you a piece of Lantern Festival. Now it's a little hot, so you can try it."
Wang Xian smiled and said, "Thank you, Zhibing."
Zhou Bing said "Yes" and then said softly: "You will encounter many things in the officialdom. If you don't pay attention, you will have unexpected results. Don't be careful!"
Wang Xianhui looked at Zhou Bing and saw that she had opened the door and was about to walk back. He quickly shouted: "It's still raining outside Zhibing, so let's rest here for a night."
Zhou Bing was stunned and then looked at Wang Xian with a little hesitation.
When Wang Xian saw her look, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm not a man from Meng Lang. You know that there are some books tonight, just read them without any attention. Just sleep here."
Zhou Bing smiled and said, "You fell asleep on the table again. Isn't that my worst thing?"
She thought for a while and said, "If you feel tired and call me up and I will read the book, how can you rest?"
Wang Xian smiled and nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."
Zhou Bing took off his shoes and went into the bedding without any vagueness.
At this time, Wang Xian leaned on the chair with the book and slowly flipped through it. After reading it for a while, his eyelids were gone, and his mind was warm and his whole body became soft and he was about to fall asleep.
Zhou Bing suddenly spoke, "Chenbei, come here."
Wang Xian was a little awake when he heard this and hurriedly said, "I'm not sleepy yet, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Zhou Bing was silent for a while and then said, "Come here and talk to me and sit by the bed."
Wang Xian was stunned and said, "What do you want to say when you sit here?"
Zhou Bing sighed slightly and said, "I don't quite understand what I want to say, but I just want to say something."
Wang Xian laughed and said, "Zhibing, you have been suppressed for too long, so you naturally want to speak but don't know what to say, so I'll ask you. As long as you answer, you can't say anything randomly?"
Seeing Zhou Bing silent, he smiled and said, "Zhibing, why did you come to the capital?"
Zhou Bing replied: "Actually, it was a chance to come to Bianjing. At that time, I was a beggar and a kind-hearted person took me in. I told me some principles in my life. Only then did I understand that people must have ambitions and do not have their whole life."
Wang Xian said with interest: "Your tone is quite good. You must have taken this as your responsibility."
Zhou Bing pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, I don't like this. I just want to find a place outside the world to live in it. All of them have food and clothing for all seasons, and are not subject to restrictions outside the world. It is both free and free."
Wang Xian immediately smiled and said, "Your idea is pretty good, but there is no such place. I'm afraid that when you stay there, you will definitely not get used to being alone and envious of the past."
Zhou Bing immediately spoke out: "Then I will take you over and the two of you will not be alone."
Wang Xian was stunned and then laughed.
Zhou Bing also became silent at this time. She lay on the bed. Wang Xian couldn't see her expression. After a long time, he heard her sigh, "But who can avoid the things in the world?"
Wang Xian felt a little emotional when she heard her sincere sighs. Thinking about the things in the world is like a game in the world. Life is a chess piece in the game or it has disappeared or it is a chess piece in it. Finally, it is still standing. However, the chess piece never understands what is manipulating yourself. They will still be pushed down and then replaced with a new chess piece to start the endless game again.
They all remained silent for a long time. Wang Xian suddenly saw the candlelight swaying and hurriedly covered it. Then he found the new wax and replaced it and turned to the bed. Zhou Bing was already asleep.
He shook his head violently and then pushed open the door. Xiaoyu had stopped. Occasionally, he could hear a ticking sound. The water droplets leaked from the eaves.
The night became extremely clean after being washed by the spring rain. Although there was no moon, only a few unknown stars blinked, but looking at the sky from afar, you could still feel extremely vast.
Wang Xian stood for a while and his mind became more and more dizzy again. He hurriedly walked in and then fell asleep on the table.
I don't know how long it took to hear someone calling him, but he couldn't open his eyelids and felt his body move and fell asleep again in a daze.
When I woke up, I saw Zhou Bing's shadow. There was still a box she brought with me on the table. Wang Xian gently opened the box and saw that it looked very white and beautiful. It was already very cold but it still tasted sweet.
The weather was clear the next day after the rain, and then it continued to clear the sun. Wang Xian has been discussing with Cai You and others how to go there to be a ritual servant and what matters should be paid attention to when the emperor's rituals are in charge of the rituals and attendants. Cai You first asked the Ministry of Rites. Finally, he heard from the people of the Ministry of Rites that the person who presided over the rituals was his father Cai Jing, who quickly told Cai Jing about this matter.
After hearing this, Cai Jing was stunned for a while and then agreed to him. He also began to arrange the details. During this period, he also told Wang Xian some of the things he had made Wang Xian very happy.
In the past few days, the whole of Bianjing has been mourning for the emperor. The whole Bianjing has been much less noise and has become much quieter. Even the restaurant has become less and fewer customers and closed the door early.
After three days of mourning, the new emperor gave a great ceremony. Cai Jing had already arranged it early when Wang Xian arrived at the Cai Mansion and disappeared. Cai Jing was the only one who hurriedly took him to the imperial city.
He went over and changed his clothes. This was a standard servant. The uniform was quite thin, but he looked a lot more heroic. When he walked over and saw Cai Jing, he immediately took him to find the official of the ceremony and asked him to stay there and not move. As long as he saw how others moved, he could move.
Wang Xian looked around and saw that the layout was really good. There were marks everywhere. When the emperor registered, he walked from here to Chongzheng Hall. He was paved with yellow cloth and made a narrow road specifically for the emperor to walk.
Because the white cloth on the pillar just passed by the mourning, some of the yellow cloth hanging on it to set off the yellow cloth on it looks very strange.
Wang Xian stayed here and looked around gently for a while. Soon after someone came over and shouted a few times, then took Wang Xian and other servants to a small compartment and then waited here.
This is a house that has just passed the Xuanyou Gate. Wang Xian looked out and saw the house in Zhimi Pavilion in the distance. He was just watching and heard a person talking on it as if he was saying that the responsibility was heavy and he could not be missed. He then said with great sins and said, "As for the person who sent the emperor to court, I will assign him at will."
He pretended to look around for a while and pointed at Wang Xian and said, "You will send the emperor to the court, but you will not enter the palace. Then the emperor will send the emperor back to Funing Palace."
Wang Xian knew that this must be Cai Jing’s arrangement and said quickly: “I know.”
They waited here for a while and suddenly heard a music outside and walked out immediately. At this time, they saw that there were already many palace maids and eunuchs standing here. There were a bunch of officials standing in the distance, as if waiting for the emperor to come.
Wang Xian was also standing at this time. Hearing the music, there were drums and drums, crisp or solemn, and he couldn't help but feel excited. After that, he was a new page!
The drum sound of "dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong" sounded again. At this time, the ritual officer shouted a few words. At this time, the music started to sound. Wang Xian quietly looked up and looked over there.
At this time, Zhao Ji was walking expressionlessly in the middle. He was wearing a crown and hat for the emperor's ceremony. The eunuchs next to him were all wearing red hats and black hats. The last one was a group of palace maids following him with their hands hanging down and following.
Such a large man scared Wang Xian. He was watching but heard a voice beside him reminding him: "It's time for us to go there, and leave!"
He hurriedly came to his senses and followed the other servants to go there. At this time, the palace maids had already stepped back and stood on both sides of the eunuchs gradually dispersed. There was only one eunuch who was the guide and leaned slightly behind Zhao Ji.
Wang Xian walked over at this time and stood in front because he wanted to send the emperor to court. At this time, he secretly looked at Zhao Ji and saw that although his face was a little tired, he still looked quite energetic. He didn't dare to look at it for too long, so he lowered his head and waited for the shouts of the ritual official.
With the voice of the ritual officer, Zhao Ji walked forward a few steps. He immediately set off the eunuchs who had dispersed and soon followed in a very regular manner, but the palace maids stopped following him.
Zhao Ji took a few steps and came to the yellow road. At this time, the ritual official shouted: "The emperor is kind to the good way to perform auspicious ways!"
You have to be a little careful about this road. Zhao Ji cannot miss this road made of yellow silk, and the eunuchs and Wang Xian cannot meet that road, so the group walked very slowly and walked carefully.
At this time, you can see the ministers. They have already knelt down at this time. At this time, the eunuchs shouting slogans were all scattered in an orderly manner. Then Zhao Ji walked to the ministers.
All the ministers shouted at this moment: "Congratulations to my emperor!"
After shouting twice, Zhao Ji raised his hand and said, "You are calm."
This was the first time he spoke out and his tone was a little tired, but he was still full of energy and he slowly stood up from the front row.
At this time, Zhao Ji stood still and the group of ministers gradually walked into Chongzheng Hall Wang Xian was wondering why the ministers went in and waited for a long time before they heard the ritual officer shouting: "Please the Eastern courtesy to worship Mount Tai!"
At this time, Zhao Ji turned his head and Wang Xian and the servants behind him all turned in the direction and then saw Zhao Ji bowing to the east three times to seek the stability of Mount Tai and the world.
The music suddenly started again at this moment, and the attendants dispersed in a very regular manner. Wang Xian was stunned and wanted to follow him. Suddenly he realized that he was going to send Zhao Ji into the palace and stopped and looked down at Zhao Ji in front of him.
The eunuch led Zhao Ji next to him and then walked forward in Chongzheng Hall. Wang Xian followed behind and looked down at their steps. They walked very slowly, so Wang Xian had to move forward slowly without any carelessness.
After a while, the music stopped. The two eunuchs at the gate of Chongzheng Hall had already knelt down and Zhao Ji waved his hand slightly. The two eunuchs slowly retreated and walked out.
At this time, the eunuch looked at Wang Xian and Wang Xian was slightly stunned and then suddenly realized that Cai Jing had told him that he had to stand at the door after the eunuch who arrived at Chongzheng Hall left, saying that the guard had just been walking and forgot about this. He hurriedly walked to this side, but saw the eunuch shook his head and pointed his hand to the right. He immediately ran to the right and stood there quickly.
This was actually just a quick thing. Everyone outside looked down so they didn't see anything. However, Zhao Ji saw him smiling slightly and was about to walk in. But he saw clearly the appearance of the attendant and couldn't help but be surprised and stared at Wang Xian again.
