Chapter 35: The Battle for Entering the City
Zhao Yishan was puzzled and said, "Ma Wubing, what do you mean?"
Ma Wubing replied: "Deputy Zhao is in charge, you should know that the current emperor's name is Zhu Yunyu, and Prince Xi's name is Zhu Yunxi, who is the emperor's third brother, and Prince Qi's name is Zhu Yunqi, who is the emperor's seventh brother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoPrince Xi and Prince Qi have never been on good terms, and there will definitely be a toss when they enter the city together, so I said that it will not be easy for us to welcome the two of them into the city. ā
Zhao Yishan heard the words and said: "I see, but you all cheer me up, no matter how the two princes toss, we must do the task energetically." "Zhao Yishan's servants should bow down.
After the assembly, Zhao Yishan and the deputy supervisor followed Master Wu to the south gate and lined up to wait for the arrival of the two princes.
They didn't wait long before they saw two convoys heading towards the southern gate.
Zhao Yishan fixed his eyes and saw that the two teams each had a chariot, one of which was pulled by eight white horses, followed by the horse team, and the flag was planted on the horse team, and the flag was written with the word "Xi", and the other chariot was pulled by eight red horses, and the chariot was also followed by the horse team, and the flag on the horse team was written with the word "Qi".
The two convoys came in parallel in no particular order, and Zhao Yishan heard Deputy Guan Cui muttering: "These two are on the bar outside the city, and there may not be any good things waiting for us later!"
Zhao Yishan also shook his head and said: "It is rumored that the two princes are not harmonious, I still can't believe it, today I saw that the two princes of them were fighting each other, and they didn't want to be left behind in the order of driving, which shows that the rumors are true." ā
The convoy gradually approached, and at the same time stopped outside the South City Gate, Lord Wu stepped forward, knelt on the ground and said: "Wu Teng, the doctor of Xiaguan Guanglu Temple, is here to greet Prince Xi and Prince Qi!"
Two voices came from the two chariots one after another: "Master Wu has worked hard, so welcome me to the place where I am staying." "Lord Wu doesn't have to be formal, get up and talk first, and don't be in a hurry about entering the city." ā
Master Wu didn't know whose order to follow, but he still patted the dust on his body and stood up, muttering in his heart: "Look at the-for-tat appearance of these two masters, they won't be able to enter the city for a while!"
And in the chariot pulled by the white horse, Prince Xi saw Wu Teng get up, he was a little angry, and said, "Lord Wu, why don't you welcome me into Tianhong City quickly, what are you delaying here?"
Without waiting for Wu Teng to answer, in the chariot pulled by the red horse, Prince Qi said: "Zhu Yunxi, don't embarrass Lord Wu here, which of you and I will enter the city has not yet been decided! Besides, this city gate can't accommodate you and me to pass through in parallel, why are you in such a hurry to enter the city?"
Prince Xi was really angry when he heard Prince Qi's words, and said in a low voice: "Zhu Yunqi, I am your third brother, you actually call me by my name, and there is no respect for humility, and you don't talk about etiquette." Outside Tianhong City, you want to be parallel to me, I didn't say anything, it doesn't mean that I want to enter this Tianhong City in parallel with you, my seniority is greater than you, of course I should enter the city first. ā
Prince Qi was not angry, laughed, and said: "Zhu Yunxi, if you want to talk to me about respect and humility, then let's talk about it now, and see who is inferior to you and me." As everyone knows, I was born from the current emperor's mother, and I am the concubine of the royal family, and you Zhu Yunxi don't know which concubine was born to the wild seed. How can you be a concubine more noble than me, the emperor is benevolent and righteous, and can give you a fief, you can be content, and you still want to compete with me for dignity and humility, divide the size and size, it's really laughing to death!"
Prince Xi was very angry by Prince Qi's words, and shouted: "Zhu Yunqi, you are a fallacy, the first emperor favored my mother concubine and named her a concubine, how can the son of a concubine be a concubine? I am also a concubine!"
Prince Qi said disdainfully: "Compared with the son of the queen, the son of the concubine is the concubine, Zhu Yunxi, you can accept your fate." ā
When Prince Xi heard this, he stopped talking, and the scene suddenly fell into silence, Zhao Yishan saw that there was no way to go on with such a stalemate, so he stepped forward and bowed down and said: "The two princes are noble people, and it just so happens that there are two side gates on both sides of the south gate of Tianhong City, and the two princes can enter the city through the side gates at the same time. ā
When Prince Xi heard this, he scolded: "Where did you come from, you actually let me enter the city at the same time as Zhu Yunqi, or enter the side gate, I am the prince! Of course, you must enter the city first from the main gate!"
Prince Qi was not left behind, and said: "This errand boy, you stepped on Zhu Yunxi's sore feet, he was originally a concubine, and if you let him enter the side gate, didn't you just let him admit his status? Of course he was angry, but your idea is good, I am willing to enter the city through the side gate, but I can't let Zhu Yunxi enter the city through the main gate." ā
Zhao Yishan retreated and returned to the horse, thinking that this prince's dispute was really not something he could intervene in, and the best thing to do now was to wait here for the two princes to divide the victory and decide who would enter the city first.
Seeing that Zhao Yishan was scolded back, Deputy Guan Cui was quite sympathetic to Zhao Yishan, and said: "Deputy Guan Zhao, the fight between these two princes has been going on for a long time, and some people have tried to mediate the contradictions between the two before, but they have failed, so you don't care." ā
Zhao Yishan knew that Deputy Manager Cui spoke like this out of kindness, thanked Deputy Manager Cui, and then waited calmly.
Zhao Yishan, Deputy Guan Cha Cui and Master Wu waited from early morning to evening, the stars and lights were lit in Tianhong City, the guards at the city gate also changed shifts, and the horse teams of the two princes buried their own pots to cook.
But Zhao Yishan and the others came in a hurry, and they were not ready to eat, Zhao Yishan was a low-level monk, and he could clear the valley for a short time, but there was no discomfort, but the others were so hungry that they screamed, but they didn't dare to leave their posts without permission.
However, the two princes were not in a hurry, and since the quarrel, they did not speak, and they both rested in the chariot, looking like they would not move after waiting for half a year.
Sure enough, Zhao Yishan, Deputy Supervisor Cui and Master Wu waited from night to dawn the next day, this night, Zhao Yishan and other errand servants spent on horseback, and after one night, everyone's back was sore, but they didn't dare to get off the horse to breathe.
Lord Wu is a civil official, his physical fitness is greatly inferior to that of the errand servant, he has waited for so long, not a drop of water, and he has already lost his physical strength, and Lord Wu also knows that if he doesn't think of a way, these two princes will spend ten days and a half here without moving, so he decided to go to the palace to find the emperor and let the emperor order the two princes to enter the city.
Lord Wu made a decision, and after telling Zhao Yishan and Deputy Manager Cui to say a few words, he rode to Tianhong City, Lord Wu went for a day, and when Lord Wu came back on horseback, it was already close to dark.
After Lord Wu came back, he smiled at Zhao Yishan and Deputy Guan Cui, and they knew that Master Wu had found a solution.
Sure enough, Master Wu came to the chariot of the two princes and said loudly: "Prince Xi, Prince Qi, the emperor has a decree, please come forward and listen to the decree!"
Prince Xi and Prince Qi had to get up to answer the order, they lifted the curtain, came to the ground, and bowed down in front of Lord Wu.
Lord Wu cleared his throat, opened the holy decree, and read aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Prince Xi, Prince Qi, you are all my brothers, I hope you live in harmony, love each other, and your recent behavior really makes me sad, the matter of entering the city is meaningless, there is no need to be respectful, you ride in the chariot and clearly dispute outside the south city gate, if you show that your family is ugly, I order you two to abandon the chariot and ride into the city." After entering the city, Lord Wu will lead you to the place where you stay, and in order to avoid your further disputes, Prince Xi will stay in Xuanyu Mansion and Prince Qi will stay in Ziyu Mansion. Do not disobey you, you are here. ā
Prince Xi and Prince Qi bowed down to receive the order, abandoned the chariot, and after getting on the horse, they took the horse team behind them and entered the city in a mighty way.
After Lord Wu told Zhao Yishan the location of Ziyu Mansion, he asked Zhao Yishan to take Prince Qi to Ziyu Mansion, while he himself led Prince Xi to Xuanyu Mansion with Deputy Guan Cui.
Zhao Yishan separated from Master Wu and Deputy Supervisor Cui, and led Prince Qi and a team of men and horses to Ziyu Mansion, and Prince Qi suddenly rode forward and came to Zhao Yishan's side.
Zhao Yishan bowed down and asked, "Prince Qi is looking for him, I don't know what's going on?"
Prince Qi smiled and said, "You are working in the Yamen of the Inspection Division, right? This king has not seen such an enthusiastic servant for a long time, are you interested in coming to me and being a diner under my door?"
Zhao Yishan took a closer look at Prince Qi, who was looking at him gently, Zhao Yishan couldn't figure out Prince Qi's purpose for a while, and replied: "Thank you Prince Qi for your kindness, I became the deputy manager of the Inspection Department in Xiameng Inspection Department for his care, and now I don't want to find another job." ā
Prince Qi waved his hand and said, "Deputy Manager Zhao is a person who values love and righteousness, and I won't force you, when you don't work in the Inspection Department one day, you can come to me at any time." ā
Zhao Yishan said: "Remember Prince Qi's words below." ā
