Chapter 624: Imperial Capital, let the Emperor come out to see me.
Chapter 624 – Imperial Capital, Let the Emperor Come Out to Meet Me
On the small mahogany table inside the bed cabin, three small plates of vegetables and two pots of roasted knives were set out.
“My surname is Wang, Wang Tian, Yanzhou people, my father sacrificed Yang Hou, the title of the Ministry of Rites, this son has been home to practice martial arts, talent is good, the district is twenty-three years old, has been a small Zun Shi realm, ready to the end of the year to trust the relationship to enter the Peace Palace cultivation, this time to come a little early because the capital has a big event …… “
The eunuch introduced himself, smiled proudly, then asked: “I don’t know brother?”
“I am the same age as you!” Xin Zhuo said: “Xin Zhuo, also going to the Imperial Capital …… “
“Ha, same age, fellow traveler, you and I are truly destined!”
Wang Tian was a good talker, not waiting for Xin Zhuo to finish, he grabbed the topic, “I see that your clothes are ordinary, I’m afraid you’re a commoner? An Du is not a random can break into ah, how many people with a dream to go, the result of poor and poor leave, a careless life is also often lost in the Yellow Springs ……”
Said here, like remembering something, face changed: “Ah? What did you just say your name is?”
“Xin Zhuo!”
“You ……”
Wang Tian shivered and said angrily, “Brother, you can’t make this joke, do you know who this name is?”
Cupped his fist to the sky, respectful and incomparable, “Emperor Taishang, the current son of heaven fake father’s old name, who in the world does not know? How many years has it been since the Qin army died out? Whenever the Son of Heaven pays homage to his ancestors, the first thing he pays homage to is this supreme emperor who doesn’t know if he’s still alive or not! You are too bold.”
Xin Zhuo smiled: “Then you …… casually shout?”
“I’ll call you Brother Xin for now.” Wang Tian wiped his forehead cold sweat, complained: “You this kid has no fear, do not know this court water deep, in the next hall small marquis, also do not dare to arbitrarily, you just mentioned that name, not to mention the court up and down, that is, the four big clans, also taboo ah, at the time, the emperor but in one fell swoop to kill the four big clans of all the top masters, that is what kind of elegance? ”
“But, I heard that the Queen Mother smashed the Emperor’s holy statue the other day, the Son of Heaven hugged the statue and cried for three days, and the Prime Minister is also ready to cut down the Emperor’s throne these days, saying that the Emperor’s name is not correct…….”
A maid behind him whispered.
“Shut up!”
Wang Tian coldly rebuked, scared the maid immediately prostrate kneeling, this only to squeeze out a smile, to Xin Zhuo said: “Little girl does not know the rules, this court things, who can say?”
Xin Zhuo nodded his head: “That makes sense, so who is the prime minister’s last name? And who is the Empress?”
“You want to ask these, I can talk to you about it ……”
The two of them were bored and chatted while eating, and through casual conversation, Xin Zhuo figured out the situation in An Du nowadays –
The young emperor is still Ji Yu, the emperor’s birth mother, the empress dowager is gone, and no one even knows who the empress dowager is? And the Empress Dowager Mo is now terminally ill, orphans and widows are very poor.
Dynasty by the prime minister Li Shentong general, this Li Shentong do not know where to come, two years through various means, leveled up, directly served as prime minister, abolition of the right and left prime minister, the power of the dynasty.
Under it, the Great Pillar State back then, King Su Wuji of Nanli, Duke of Ning Ning Lingbo and Ling Xuwei, Liu Guangshi, Li Wanchuan, General Mo Zongze and other people to assist.
That prime minister of that year, Feng Sihu, was also gone, and no one knew about this person.
But, the young emperor married a daughter-in-law, this woman is fifteen years old, for the prime minister Li Shentong’s niece, surnamed Wei Qingqing, said to have the appearance of the city and the country!
Xin Zhuo felt that the Great Zhou chaos should be imprinted on the Prime Minister and the Empress.
Four or five hundred miles of waterway, two days of travel only, the second day at noon, the boat suddenly stopped.
Wang Tian stretched a lazy waist, said: “There are still sixty miles to An Du, in front of the river in order to celebrate the prime minister’s birthday, has been converged into a thousand river villa, for the prime minister’s family private land, let’s walk on land, my family’s carriage has been waiting, Xin brother with me?”
Xin Zhuo looked at the end of the river, said: “In that case, I’ll be sorry!”
“No harm done!”
The two of them got off the boat with the maid and Xiao Huang, and after walking for three to five miles, a luxurious carriages in front of them were already waiting under the guard of twenty strong-suited guards.
“This kind of four-horse Xuan Yun carriage Brother Xin has never ridden in it before, right?”
Wang Tian turned around and smiled smugly.
“No!”
Xin Zhuo nodded, in addition to the flatbed car when mixing rivers and lakes, did not sit in such a crappy carriage, the Jiang family I sat on seven horses, and later changed to sit on the nine-horse Tianzi Luangzhi, in the XuanTian Sword Sect I sat in the customized Demon Wolf Flying Wings Carriage of the Ink Palace, which is a superb product that can travel thousands of miles in a day.
“Hahaha, come, let you try this marquis carriage!”
Wang Tian pulled Xin Zhuo into the carriage and laughed: “Today the capital is lively, big day!”
Said one to urge the horseman: “You must arrive at the imperial capital at noon, or you’ll be the only one to be questioned, quick!”
“Giddy up ……”
The carriage roared toward the official road.
Wang Tian leisurely picked up the tribute purple grapes on the table and ate one before saying: “Brother Xin, do you know what big day is today in the imperial capital?”
Xin Zhuo carefully looked around, searching for traces of his visit that year, and casually said, “I don’t know!”
“The great birthday of the Son of Heaven!” Wang Tian said, “These past two years, our Great Zhou has been quite favorable, winning the wars against Song and Jing, and it coincides with the Emperor’s birthday, so basically all of the world’s officials and dignitaries are arriving today!”
Xin Zhuo finally looked at him in surprise: “The son of heaven’s noble title?”
Wang Tian was stunned for a moment: “Seven years old ah, my Emperor Zhou men go to the yellow tail at the age of seven, ten years old big feast, twenty weak crown are celebrated, the son of heaven is seven years old, the subject for the table of honor, can only be described by a big birthday!”
“This child will play!”
Xin Zhuo remembered the child who had hugged his thigh in pity.
“Ah you ……” Wang Tian’s face was white with fear, “How can you be so unruly, not afraid of executing you nine …… “
Words did not finish, suddenly was outside a rush of neat hoofbeats interrupted, only to hear someone rudely scolded: “Zhao Wang Shizi Dahuo / Heng Wang Shizi Dahuo, idle people to avoid!”
“Make! Make way! Make way!”
Wang Tian’s face changed once again, and he panickedly signaled the carriage driver and guards to back off.
When the carriage stopped by the side of the road, only relieved, lifted the curtain to look outside, only to see the capital city, along the way is very prosperous, spacious street, now pedestrians cars and horses have to give way on both sides, the middle of the hundreds of gold armor guards, clustered two seven-horse carriage driving slowly past, the two cars fight each other, along the way, crashed through the ground fruits, vegetables, and children’s toys, attracting the adults cry children make noise… …
At this moment, the curtains of the two carriages were blown up by the wind, revealing the people inside the car, a young man holding a young girl laughing at the brocade king’s robes, a mercenary gentleman counting gold and silver treasures ……
The arrogance and extravagance is nothing more than that!
Look at the four sides of the passers-by look of fear and awe, I’m afraid that these two king’s son is extremely powerful, no one dares to mess with.
Xin Zhuo laughed: “You hall marquis son, how come so humble?”
Wang Tian laughed bitterly: “you countryside down, do not know the court big shots of the terrible, I forgot to tell you, this capital there are six kings, six different surnames of the king, are the queen’s mother’s family, in charge of the court of millions of the four forbidden armies, not to mention this son, that is, the high officials of the court can not afford to mess with it ah!”
Once again looked outside, whispered: “These two king’s son, I’m afraid to go to look for the treasures to His Majesty’s birthday to go, alas, I do not know what my father prepared this time, can not let me out of a time to pick, but also marriage some of the princes and lords of the family’s gold!
This capital beauty preferred Murong Yunxi, Li Shiyue, but unfortunately both are officials, family power is also not, the rest of the Ling Junyao, Ning Zhiwei is also good, and ……”
Xin Zhuo’s color was a bit strange, they are all still there? Subconsciously blurted out: “What kind of beauties are they?”
A group of yellow-haired girls only.
“You …… “Wang Tian angrily said: “Have you heard of them? They don’t count as beauties, is there any beauty in the world? You are too arrogant!”
Xin Zhuo was too lazy to count, smiled faintly and said: “Alright, you continue ……”
“Where was I? Right ……” Wang Tian continued to chatter on and on.
Xin Zhuo found that this kid is not trying to befriend himself, but is only a chatterbox, trying to find someone to talk and show off, even if he meets a beggar, he can blow half a night.
With the official road ahead near An Du, the road more and more people, a variety of expensive carriages, all kinds of clothes gorgeous people countless, and that pull the car with expensive treasures in an endless stream.
The fireworks of this Mortal Dust Empire was completely different from Xuan Tian Sword Sect and even Kun Xu Martial City.
Xin Zhuo is in a trance, how many years has it been since he left An Du, just four years? Has it really changed so much?
One hour later, finally arrived at the east gate of An Du, the front of the car, pedestrians crowded, tall endless imperial city wall, straight let a person feel small.
Wang Tian rubbed his hands: “Older brother, how do you arrange? If there is really no place to go, why don’t you go to my house to be a doorkeeper, right, can you read and write?”
Xin Zhuo at this time no longer have half a bit of interest in small talk, suddenly took Xiao Huang, fluttering down the carriage.
Wang Tian froze for a moment, poked out the window and said: “You and I all the way along is also destiny, you want to break into this imperial capital, I will not stop you, I want to warn you kid, this imperial capital of dignitaries everywhere, a slap to death a group of officials, your love of bragging, adventurous nature can be changed, or not live until the next day!”
Xin Zhuo had already walked away.
The maid at the side complained in a small voice: “Little Marquis, you shouldn’t befriend this kind of commoner of unknown origin, in case you get into trouble, Marquis will be blamed.”
Wang Tian smiled smugly and said: “What do you girls know? Didn’t you see the way he was born? Tian Zi No. 1 beautiful man, if he is the guest of any noblewoman, it will be a blessing for me, let’s go, enter the city as soon as possible, the great birthday of the Son of Heaven is going to start in the afternoon!”
Xin Zhuo squeezed through the crowded crowd and carriages, jumped over the moat, and stood in front of the lofty imperial capital city gate, which is called “Shenwu Gate”, and it was the first city gate that he entered when he came to the imperial capital to recognize his relatives, and it was also the gate where 100,000 Western Qin iron horsemen besieged the city later on.
Unexpectedly this time inexplicably have to pass through this door, but this time the state of mind and the past are different, tasteless!
Taking Xiao Huang between flashes into the city, along the luxurious and incomparable streets and bustling crowds, toward the Jiang family mansion.
A few moments later, arrived in front of the Jiang Mansion.
He had thought that the doors would be closed and the beams collapsed, a look of a luxurious family falling, or that it would be sealed as an auspicious mansion, or that some of the Jiang family’s old women and widows would still be living in it.
The result is neither!
The word “Jiang Mansion” has been changed to “Prime Minister’s Mansion”.
Dozens of doors, all of them in the realm of the great honored one, high and mighty, sternly scanning all passers-by.
Great Zun Shi realm door, when the Jiang family first expert Jiang Yong, only great Zun Shi only!
If it was in the past, Xin Zhuo would inevitably be angry, but now the mood is very calm.
Thousands of years Jiang family, has completely become the past cloud smoke, or …… Jiang family in the wider world, depending on here as a mole cricket.
He stood in front of the gate for a long time before finally looking up at the sky, his heart sighed with emotion:”…… Crossing …… the old man can hardly remember if he is a crosser… …”
Why did I wear to this messy world and experience so many messy things ……
These years of floating and floating, than others several lifetimes to play flowers!
At this time, the snow was a little smaller, and it was already late afternoon.
“Crunch!”
“Prime Minister’s Palace” door suddenly opened, a bright yellow robe, bright white teeth of the young girl with the skirt ran out, behind a three-horse carriage drive hurriedly followed out.
“Missy, don’t run, get in!”
A group of maids and guards looked anxious.
“Oops, got up late, His Majesty’s birthday banquet has begun, so many famous ladies and handsome gentlemen are there.”
The young girl didn’t care, ran extremely fast, and happened to arrive beside Xin Zhuo, froze for a moment, a hint of redness flashed across her face, and she gathered her obeisance and saluted, “I’ve met the young gentleman, where did you come from? Who are you waiting for?”
Who are you waiting for?
Xin Zhuo thought of Jiang Nuying, who was also at this age that year, and laughed: “Just looking around.”
The young girl pouted:“It seems like a civilian, what a pity, get out of the way or the guards at home will deal with you!”
The figure flashed onto the carriage.
The carriage and horses galloped, heading straight to the imperial city.
A few moments later, in the direction of the Imperial City, there was a burst of bells that represented good luck, and the first day of the Emperor’s birthday banquet began!
Not knowing where Li Xiang’er and Jiang Yuwei were hiding, Xin Zhuo was already too lazy to contact them and raised his steps towards the imperial palace.
To solve this big week, actually not so troublesome, directly into the imperial palace, take nephew cum emperor’s son to play is good!
……
The emperor went to the yellow tail, seven years old birthday, amnesty, universal celebration, the imperial capital is bustling to the extreme, each workshop, each house, dozens of streets decorated with lights, dignitaries, princes and other rich and noble families, children all on the street.
And the status of noble officials, has long been into the palace, and his majesty to celebrate.
Xin Zhuo out of the Qian Fang and Zhu Bird Fang, passing by the Ruyi Fang Xingyun Building, and finally rushed to the Imperial Palace in front of the noon gate and the Chaotian Gate!
The solemn and majestic imperial capital of the Great Zhou Empire Imperial City, the first Hsien-Ching in front of the Royal Gate, three thousand gold armor, tall physique of the forbidden guards to strictly guard the surrounding area, living people do not come near.
Those who are qualified to enter this main gate are either powerful dignitaries or royal relatives.
Xin Zhuo, a man and a dog alone and drenched in snow, looked into the imperial city.
The commander of the forbidden guards had already noticed him and was slowly approaching with dozens of forbidden soldiers, spears in hand.
At that moment, there was the sound of wheels squeaking behind him.
The commander of the forbidden guards immediately stopped and knelt on one knee: “Greetings to Marquis Sacrificial Yang and His Highness, the County Princess of Jin!”
Behind the two carriages stopped side by side, the curtains were lifted, the people in the car were surprised to look at the man and the dog, one of the carriages poked out the well-dressed young marquis Wang Tian’s head, his eyes were wide open, and he lost his voice: “You kid, you kid are crazy? How dare you come here? Do you know where this place is?”
Then he was stopped by a majestic voice: “No rules!”
Wang Tian obediently shrunk back: “Father, this kid son know, a countryside, and son on the same boat!”
“Giggle ……” a delicate laughter came from another carriage, a woman’s clear voice said: “The little marquis is interesting, as much as to make friends with the world’s talents!”
Wang Tian laughed bitterly: “Sheriff do not make fun of the kid, he counts what kind of talent, bold!”
“Enter the palace!” Marquis Sacrificial Yang’s calm voice said: “We are already late, His Majesty and the public ministers and nobles will only blame us.”
“Crunch ……”
The two carriages brushed against a man and a dog and went straight into the imperial city.
That forbidden guards commander waited until the carriages were out of sight before he breathed a sigh of relief and led his subordinates straight to Xin Zhuo: “Bold and unruly people, stand down!”
However, not yet close to, suddenly bizarre Tong Tong flew out, even people with spears “crackling” fell to the ground, a burst of grunting.
Xin Zhuo walked to the front of the commander, looked directly at his face under the golden helmet, casually threw down a jade pendant: “to the emperor, let him come out to see me!”
The voice was neither happy nor sad, as if it did not have any semblance of emotion.
The commander’s body was in great pain, looking at Xin Zhuo in horror, with his realm infinitely close to the realm of the Immortals, he couldn’t see what realm this person in front of him was in, he only felt that at this moment, like falling into an abyss like despair, for fear that if there was a hint of disrespect, he would die a horrible death in no time at all!
Ghostly pick up the jade pendant, get up in a hurry, straight to the depths of the Imperial Palace.
Xin Zhuo is still with Xiao Huang, silently waiting.
The wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger ……
