Chapter 1055: Inside the Palace
The huge noon gate square below the Imperial Palace, 999 zhang in length and width, ordinary people from the outermost outermost, stride to the stairs of the main hall, about 3,000 steps, and under the escort of the Imperial City Guards, holding a flying messenger, Zhong Lizhan strode forward, across this distance, a total of 1,290 steps, with 79 breaths.
Within these seventy-nine breaths, in the imperial hall, the Huanghuang Emperor's voice from Zhao Yu came out three times, announcing the champions of the ninety years of the Great Xia Calendar, Bangyan and Tanhua.
And these three imperial sounds that resounded throughout the Shenjing City fell, Zhong Lizhan happened to step up the white jade stairs under His Royal Highness, and at the same time, the gate of the Imperial Palace above his head opened outward, and the court musicians who had been waiting at the gate of the palace directly played the piano and bells and drums.
In the next breath, the magnificent and vast movement rises to the sky, and the bells, drums, and pianos are intertwined with each other, as if announcing the official arrival of the ninety years of the Great Xia calendar to the whole world.
Then the candidates who participated in the palace examination surrounded three young people who were not very old and poured out from the imperial palace, and the congratulations sounded one after another, and walking beside the young people was a group of cabinet ministers who were one of the examiners, and at this time their old faces were also smiling, nodding to each other and exchanging something.
On one side is the high-spirited and powerful upstart of the imperial court, and on the other side is the Radiant Army taboo who came quickly with the information of the Taixuan Land, and then the two met without warning on the white jade avenue below the Imperial Palace.
"Winter Snow Fortress front line urgent military situation, disperse, disperse!"
With the roar of the leader of the Imperial City Praetorian Guard, everyone above who was originally immersed in the imperial examination ceremony, whether it was the original official or the candidate, instantly became extremely solemn, and then used the fastest speed in their lives to get out of the way on both sides, staring at Zhong Lizhan who was roaring quickly with burning eyes.
Ten breaths later, Zhong Lizhan's figure appeared directly in front of the open door of the Imperial Palace, and before that, Liang Po's burly figure like a hill was already standing in front of the hall, and then Liang Po looked at Zhong Lizhan, who was still dripping with water droplets in black armor, and his magnetic mellow voice sounded directly:
"Your Majesty has already known your intentions, please come with me!"
When the words fell, Liang Po turned around directly, and took Zhong Lizhan directly into the Imperial Palace, and then on the white jade stairs, those cabinet and officials of the six ministries who had already gone down to half of the ladder, as well as Sima Annan and Yuan Bai and others, turned around and rushed back to the Imperial Palace without saying a word, leaving a group of palace test candidates to look at each other on the original ground.
After a while, when the figures of the officials of Great Xia disappeared on the white jade steps, among the candidates for the palace examination, a young scholar stepped forward, and after saluting Xin Hao, who was standing quietly, he asked loudly:
"Song Bangyan, in such a situation, what should I do at this time?"
"Our Great Xia has its own set of special process arrangements for the front-line military situation, according to the front-line sergeant directly entering the Imperial Palace, this military situation should be the highest urgent level, so the officials who originally had positions have returned to the Imperial Palace. ”
After the words fell, on the steps of His Royal Highness, Song Xinhao, a young man who was still wearing a meticulous white Rushan, looked at the black hall above with heroic eyes under his sword-like eyebrows, and then raised his hand and patted Rushan's sleeve gently, and walked to the side of the steps, and the voice continued to sound:
"Therefore, the best way for me to wait now is to wait quietly, after all, if you don't have the champion and Tanhua, it won't be considered a street parade!"
After Xin Hao finished speaking, the rest of the young people who participated in the palace examination thought for a few breaths, nodded, and also followed behind the former, standing on the steps on the side and waiting quietly, at the same time, in the imperial hall where the four-winged Xuanyu and the phoenix of the Nine Heavens kept roaming, Zhong Li Zhan knelt on one knee, and said loudly to an emperor shadow sitting on the high platform in the hall above:
"Your Majesty, the flying messenger that shuttled across the Arctic Boundary City in the vast land of Shenzhou has arrived. ”
After the breathless voice of Zhong Li Zhan fell, the entire wide hall of Great Xia officials stood densely, and they all focused their eyes on the little pony waving their wings in the former's hand.
Under the solemn gaze intertwined, the ice that gradually melted because of the sudden return from the Arctic land to the warm Shenjing City turned into water droplets on the ground of the main hall, and then in the silent Huangji Palace, an extremely clear sound sounded.
"Tick, tick, tick!"
This ticking sound is not heavy, but in this hall where the needle drop can be heard, it is like a heavy hammer hitting the heads of the hundreds of officials in the hall again and again, making the civil and military officials, including Li Chunfeng, swallow their saliva subconsciously.
Everyone understands that there will be a battle between the vast land of Shenzhou and the Taixuan Land on the back of the boundary city, but everyone hopes that this day can come a little later, a little later, because at this time, Great Xia is in the golden stage of extremely rapid development, and almost every day has breathtaking progress and changes, so this increasingly great country needs time the most.
At this time, no one knew what kind of information was hidden in this flying messenger that was respectfully handed over by Zhong Li Zhan, and what extremely important information was contained.
It's unpredictable, but I have to face it, this is an extremely complex emotion, and at the top of the entire imperial hall, there is a young figure with no change in complexion.
Because of today's Great Dynasty test, Zhao Yu was wearing a particularly grand crown at this time, with a crown of heaven, a silk robe, and the twelve coats of arms of the Lord of Great Xia symbolizing it were all the same, and at the same time, the vast and endless majesty of the Great Emperor suppressed all the voids in the entire imperial hall.
Then Zhao Yu finished reading the dossier to be sealed that had just been submitted by the official and recorded the content of the Great Imperial Examination, raised his head slightly, and his dark eyes like the night sky of the stars stared at the Zhongli Battle below, and the steady and vast imperial voice came out:
"Ye Yi and Xue Dao, who have just been in the land of Taixuan for a few months, have just managed to send the news over, presumably the information contained in it is extremely important. ”
After the emperor's voice fell, the expressions of the officials below were even more solemn, their lips were pursed, and they stood respectfully with their hands down, while Zhao Yu, who was sitting on the emperor's throne, saw this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said with a smile:
"I Guan'er and the others looked so nervous, and immediately felt a burst of amusement, this information that came through the Arctic Boundary City was from the people of the Dire Division, and it was not the enemy of the monks in the Taixuan Land, so what was the nervousness, and on the other hand, it was undoubtedly a good thing to be able to send this information in advance, compared to knowing nothing, it was beneficial for us to have information. ”
Zhao Yu's calm and indifferent voice carried an extremely reassuring aura, and then the hundred officials in the hall subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, raised their hands and bowed respectfully, and the voice came out:
"Your Majesty Shengming, I'm waiting for the phase!"
