Chapter 2155 The Wei Family Wins
Feng Yu was the first to come over and congratulate Gu Jinan: "Brother Gu was first named on the gold medal list, and then your Majesty granted you the marriage. It's really a great joy to have these two great things in life come together."
Zong Zhengyi also came over and said, "Congratulations to Brother Gu, the family business has been successful together."
After the other new scholars came to their senses, they also came over to congratulate: "Brother Gu is so happy to be married by His Majesty, and we are extremely envious!"
They were really envious. Gu Jinan was the first person to get a marriage from Emperor Jingyuan himself.
The rest of the families who were given marriages were all authorized by His Majesty, and the Queen Mother's decree was inferior to His Majesty's imperial decree.
In addition to the new Jinshi, the six adults present also came to congratulate Gu Jinan.
He was a prodigy in a new field and received congratulations from all the ministers. He was so famous that he became the first person at the Qionglin Banquet.
After receiving the congratulations from everyone, Gu Jinan came over to salute Ouyang Zhang: "Meet Shibo."
The chief eunuch is a very perceptive person. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "Gu Tanhua, His Majesty has granted you a marriage to the third girl of the Ouyang family. You should call Lord Ouyang uncle."
The chief eunuch is a popular person in front of the emperor. He has said so, and others will naturally give him face. Many adults said: "What the eunuch said is true. Gu Tanhua doesn't need to worry, she can change her story."
Gu Jinan also shouted generously: "Junior pays homage to uncle."
After the imperial decree of marriage was issued, Ouyang Zhang no longer deliberately kept distance from Gu Jinan, and responded with a smile: "Hey, no need to be polite, we will be a family from now on."
The third girl's parents died early, and her family loved her very much. Now she has a good husband. Although her family background is too poor, she is a promising person. Her parents and sisters are also reasonable people, and there is no vicious fight in the back house. Ouyang Zhang's I was still very happy and became more and more friendly to Gu Jinan.
Ouyang Zhang hosted the Qionglin Banquet. As soon as he became friendly, many rules were lost at the banquet. He drank and chatted happily with the new scholars, and even sat on the floor, pulling the adults at the banquet to play with the scholars to pass on the golden gourd.
Whoever the message reaches will have to write a poem before the wine in the golden gourd drains out. If he fails to do so within the time limit, he will be punished.
The punishments they received were all kinds of strange, including dancing and singing poems, playing music and fighting swords, but it was all very lively.
Ouyang Zhang looked at the adults and scholars having fun together, feeling filled with emotion.
He has participated in many Qionglin banquets, and this one is considered the third most lively. The other two were when he passed the first place exam and when his brother passed the third place... I only hope that he can see all the scribes together again in his lifetime. Regardless of status, people dance and have fun together.
After the chief eunuch stayed at the Qionglin banquet for a few quarters of an hour, he went back and told Emperor Jingyuan about the adults having fun with the new scholars.
Emperor Jingyuan frowned and snorted coldly. He was obviously dissatisfied, but he did not yell angrily. He only said: "Continue to send people to keep an eye on the new scholars. Report all the details, no matter how big or small."
He didn't want to support a group of rebellious and useless people.
"Yes." The chief eunuch went down and conveyed Emperor Jingyuan's oral instructions to the secret guards.
…
Although the Qionglin Banquet was lively, it ended before Xu Shi.
The adults and the new scholars were sent out of the imperial city by the imperial guards.
Ouyang Zhang was getting older, and he was too tired today, so he didn't stay much. After being helped into the carriage by Gu Jinan, he said to him: "Another day, my family will post a message for you, asking you to come and meet your elders."
His Majesty granted the marriage, and the wedding was handled by the Ministry of Etiquette. The two families did not have to worry too much, but Gu Jinan, the prospective grandson-in-law of the Ouyang family, still had to visit the elders.
Gu Jinan was very happy and said with a smile: "Yes, I am waiting for uncle's post."
Ouyang Zhang smiled and nodded, reminding him: "Don't stay too long, go back early."
After Gu Jinan nodded, he left in the carriage.
Ming Cong didn't stay long and quickly took Xu Chongfeng into his carriage and left.
In the car, Xu Chongfeng glanced at Ming Cong, but he really couldn't guess what Mr. Ming meant... Didn't Mr. Ming want to see Gu Jinan? Now on the way back, on the grounds that he had been a county magistrate in Tianfu County, he could just ask Gu Jinan to get in the car and meet him. It was a great opportunity, so why not call?
Ming Cong raised his eyes and looked at him with majestic and sharp eyes. Xu Chongfeng was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and said, "My lord, please forgive me. I am rude to you as a subordinate."
Ming Cong said: "Something happened in the Northeast. Your Majesty has been unstable recently, so be careful."
What? Something happened in the Northeast? No wonder His Majesty doesn’t look good tonight!
Xu Chongfeng was shocked, but at least his stay in the capital these past few years was not in vain. He did not scream in surprise, but asked: "Can your lord tell me what happened in the Northeast?"
Ming Cong leaned against the wall of the carriage and said lazily: "It's not a big deal. The descendants of the Weiguo family captured the three major states of Dongqing. They have already sent troops to Dongqing and the northeastern border. They even issued a big message. All of them are under the control of Your Majesty." We will inform the people in Northeast China."
What? !
Xu Chongfeng was shocked. This was already on the border with Chen Bing. How could it be said that it was not a big deal?
"Sir, are you saying that the sons of Duke Wei are going to attack the Northeast and come back to take revenge?" Xu Chongfeng said in a low voice, but he was afraid of death and his voice was trembling.
Ming Cong glanced at him and said, "If you didn't have me and Jiang Sheng, you would be stupid to death."
What does it mean?
We have already sent troops to the border, and even issued a proclamation to scold His Majesty. How can we still start a fight?
Xu Chongfeng: "This official is stupid, please make it clear."
Ming Cong said: "The disciples of the Duke of Wei have great plans, and they must be well-known. Otherwise, no one will attack Your Majesty because of their personal hatred. Now they can only scold you, but they can't start a fight."
The people in the Weiguo public family are waiting for an opportunity to become famous.
After hearing this, Xu Chongfeng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, otherwise the two sides of the imperial court would fight, I'm afraid..." It would be over.
I didn't dare to say the last two words.
Ming Cong: "The storm is about to come, so be more honest lately. As for Gu Jin'an, just let your son associate with him."
He won't see Gu Jinan for the time being, lest Emperor Jing Yuan go crazy and become even more worried about him.
Thinking back to Wei Er, the direct grandson of Duke Wei was really a ruthless person. In order to seize the three states of Dongqing, he actually killed his father-in-law at the wedding banquet between himself and Princess Dongqing.
If these sons of wolfsbane are not killed soon, they may become a serious problem!
However, assassinating his father-in-law at the wedding banquet will be a stain on Wei Er for the rest of his life. No matter how powerful he is, he can only become a prince and general, but not an emperor. In the end, everything he fought with all his strength will only make him easier. uncle.
Just because civil servants don't know how to do it, and they don't dare to let someone who premeditatedly plan a marriage to seize land, and then use his newlywed wife to kill his father-in-law at the wedding banquet, become emperor.
…
But the new scholars didn't know that something happened in the Northeast. After the Qionglin Banquet, they were still very excited, especially those from the local prominent families who had some spare money. They didn't want to go back to rest and wanted to continue having fun.
Yu Changbo came over to find Gu Jinan: "Brother Gu, there is an ice tour over there at Qiong Lake. We have booked a boat. How about we go on a tour of Qiong Lake, set off ice lanterns, drink wine and listen to music?"
