Chapter 43: Haoyue Drives to 1
From time to time, the historian of the Chibing Kingdom recorded in the "Red Ice Rites": "In the eighth year of Emperor Yanfeng, on the third day of the fifth month, on the first sunny day after the snow, the emperor heard that Haoyue, the tenth princess of the Yan Kingdom, and her party would arrive in Huai'an, Beijing, in the evening. Emperor Xi ordered the civil and military officials to choose the right time to greet each other. The emperor held a banquet in the palace in the Zhengyang Palace, waiting for the ten princesses of the Yan Kingdom, Haoyue, and the accompanying Yan envoys to wash the dust.
The right day, the end of the Shen time. Haoyue, the tenth princess of Yan Kingdom, and a group of more than 500 people entered Huai'an in our capital from the west straight gate of Beijing. The people watched the ceremony, and the alleys were empty. ”
Later, this article was included in the "Chronicles of the Nine Kingdoms" by later generations, and then became the "Chronicles of the Nine Kingdoms, Chibing, and Rites".
**
It was the eighth year of the first year of the Red Ice Kingdom. The third day of the fifth month. In the evening. The sun is setting in the distant sky, and the sunset is still shining.
The northern land of the Tiancheng Continent. The capital of the Red Ice Kingdom. Huai'an City. Under the Xizhi Gate.
A tall and majestic gray-white city wall seems to divide the world into two ends, and inside the wall are standing along the street, and everyone stretches their necks, wanting to wall the people of the Red Ice Country who are now the first beauties in the continent. And outside the wall......
The defenders standing under the wide Xizhimen Gate raised their eyes to see that almost everywhere they could see was a dazzling white, which was a thick snow accumulated by the goose feather snow that had drifted for three whole days.
A black and yellow road that had been muddy and potholed by the melting snow and trampling by the people was quietly embedded in the snow-covered grass and trees that were only white.
This road is quite long, from the Xizhimen door opening, towards the front all the way forward, there is no end in sight.
A city defender standing on the outermost part of the Xizhimen Gate stole a glance at his left and right sides, and then quickly withdrew his gaze, and while standing in danger, a cold sweat seemed to cut down the corners of his forehead.
On weekdays, these city guards armed with spears can be regarded as the head snakes of the land who oppress the people, but at this moment, under the tall and majestic gray-white city walls. In addition to the defenders of the city who stood straight, there was also a group of officials of the Red Ice Nation wearing various colors of official robes and armor. If you count them roughly, there are about hundreds of people. It really responds to the term "civil and military officials".
With such a grand scene of hundreds of officials gathering, it is no wonder that these city defenders who do not even have a grade feel frightened and panicked.
Now these officials are in the line that extends from the hole in the West Straight Gate. As the dividing line, everyone invariably arranged on the left and right sides of the Xizhi Gate according to the red-robed civil official on the left and the Qingjia military attache on the right in the court of the Chibing Kingdom.
Therefore, at a glance, the left side of Xizhimen is a red color. It is incomparably bright, dazzling, and joyful. And on the right side of Xizhi Gate, as far as the eye can see, there is a cold and low dark armor, and now it is the first sunny day after the snow, such a dark color, just looking at it, it makes people can't stop chilling.
At the moment, I saw a group of officials from the Red Ice Kingdom stretching their necks and looking towards the muddy and potholed black and yellow road that connected to the Xizhi Gate behind them.
Xu has been waiting for a long time, and every official's face is a little pale from the low temperature. And there was obvious impatience on everyone's faces, and everyone had to look forward to it in the ice and snow, hoping that the people they were waiting for would arrive as soon as possible, so that their pampered parents would suffer less.
These officials who are waiting for shelter under the city wall are all officials of the Chibing Kingdom who are above the fifth rank and can enter the court to participate in politics. Among these officials, the lowest official position is also in the five grades, and the highest official position is standing on the left side of Xizhi Gate, at the front of the crowd. The Zhengyipin Cabinet scholar who stood in the afterglow of the sunset, leaving only a majestic back for the civil and military officials.
At this moment, a civil official wearing a three-poinsettia robe walked slowly to the side of the Zhengyipin cabinet scholar who stood in the afterglow of the setting sun, leaving only a majestic back for the civil and military officials.
Quell. I could only hear the civil official wearing the three-poinsetti robe and said to the scholar of the Zhengyipin Cabinet in a suppressed voice: "I said Yang Ge Lao, is he too fanfare? It's just a foreign princess, although she is married to our Chibing to be the crown princess, but doesn't Your Majesty don't like that very much? Why ......today? It's unbelievable!!"
"Jiang Shangshu, His Majesty's intentions, only His Majesty knows it. Those of us who are courtiers should not speculate on the holy will. Since His Majesty asked us to wait, let's just wait steadfastly. The civil officials who were closer to the two of them only heard a deep old man's voice take over the conversation slowly.
When the civil official in the three-poinsettia robe heard this, he immediately shook his head lightly and sighed: "Elder Ge, you are serious! Elder Ge, you have strong bones and are not afraid of the cold, which is naturally a good thing for us civil officials. But Xia Guan has been weak since he was a child, and he really can't bear the cold and cold!"
In this room, the voice of the civil official wearing the three-poinsettia robe had just fallen, and in that room, on the left side of the Xizhi Gate, a civil official about twenty years old, although his facial features were delicate, but his complexion was as pale as a sickness, his hands were folded into the wide sleeves of the red official robe, and he was seen standing under the wall next to the city gate with his waist bent and muttering: "That's it, why hasn't it arrived yet! It's too slow! If you wait like this, this person will freeze into ice!"
"Yes! Although the snow has stopped this morning, and the sun has come out, it is dusk and the temperature is low! You young generation can't stand the cold, let alone the old man's age. As soon as the young civil servant's words fell, a civil official in his mid-fifties, with mottled hair, a flat face, and his hands in the wide sleeves of his red robe, pacing back and forth with his waist slightly hunched over, took over. In the end, I only heard the old civil official sigh and add: "If you wait like this, the old man's life will be over!"
"Alas...... If I wait any longer, I'll have to freeze. Next to the two civil officials, a civil official who was about thirty years old and also wearing a red official robe also answered with a sigh when he heard this. After saying that, the civil official involuntarily shook his body, showing that he was indeed very cold now.
I never thought that the muttering of the three civil officials on the left side of Xizhimen was heard by a military attache standing on the right side of Xizhimen, so I heard the military attache wearing a cyan armor, looking five big and three thick, and his face was quite rough, sneered, and sneered: "Wenchen is Wenchen, and he will only grind his mouth with a pen all day long." Except for Yang Ge Lao, who was born as a champion of civil and military affairs back then, one by one, his body was so weak that he couldn't even bear such a little cold!"
"That's it, it's better for us generals who practice three dogs in summer and three nine in winter, no matter how cold it is, we won't be afraid!hahaha!!" Another military attache standing aside, wearing gray armor and having the same burly body, but with a relatively soft face, immediately nodded and agreed. Moreover, when the military attache spoke, he deliberately raised his voice a little loud, with a bit of irony. Especially the three loud laughs at the end of him, listening to the ears of those civil officials on the left side of Xizhimen, it was simply inexplicably harsh.
At this moment, on the left side of Xizhimen, the young civil official who was about twenty years old heard this, and saw that he immediately glared angrily, with an undisguised sarcastic smile on his lips, although his voice was not loud, but he mocked the two military attaches who spoke on the right side of Xizhimen: "If you generals don't even have such a cold-resistant physique, then why do you want to be this general?"
The young civil official who was about twenty years old next to him was pacing in place with his waist slightly hunched over his waist, and the old civil official, who was about fifty years old, immediately stopped, faced the group of military attaches standing on the right side of Xizhimen, snorted coldly, and said with disdain: "What Master Li said is exact! If you military generals are as afraid of the cold as us literati, what else does Your Majesty want you to do? Besides, Lord Li is weak, and the old man is old, so it is normal for him to be afraid of the cold. ”
On the right side of Xizhimen, I saw that the military attaché who was five big and three thick, and his face was also quite rough, heard this, and his steps moved slightly, but he took a step in the direction of the three civil officials who spoke on the left side of Xizhimen, and then, only to hear the military attache say angrily: "The surname is Zhang! Pay attention to Lao Tzu when you speak! Without Lao Tzu, do you have your stable and happy life? You are virtuous from top to bottom, don't think that you can rely on the old and sell the old when you are old, Lao Tzu is the least rare for people like you!"
On the left side of Xizhimen, the old civil official, who was about fifty years old, saw this, and his feet also took a step towards the military attache who was talking on the right side of Xizhimen. I saw the old civil official stiffen his neck and answered: "What's the matter! What's wrong with relying on the old man and selling the old! What's wrong with the virtue of going down to the next! If you say you can't win, you have to do it! You come! Yellow-haired boy! Do you think the old man is afraid that you won't succeed!"
On the right side of Xizhimen, I saw that the military attaché, who was five big and three thick, and his face was also quite rough, suddenly glared at him, and his subordinates actually made a gesture of rolling up their sleeves, as if they were ready to fight!
Obviously, these were the words of the old civil official who was about fifty years old, which completely angered this military attache who was five big and three thick, and his face was quite rough!
Of course, because the military attache is wearing a cyan armor at the moment, and the sleeves are tied under the metal bracers, and there are no sleeves to give him a ......
However, seeing that this rough-looking military attache rolled up his "sleeves" and stepped out heavily, he took two steps towards the old civil official who was about fifty years old on the left side of Xizhimen, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You dare to call Lao Tzu 'Huangmao Xiaoer'!" The surname is Zhang! Lao Tzu has long seen that you are unhappy! Today, His Majesty is not here, Lao Tzu makes you an old horseman crazy! Today Lao Tzu has to beat you up all over the ground to find your teeth!" (To be continued.) )
PS: Digression: Xiaomo doesn't like officials, especially in reality, I don't like it very much!!What is the people's parent official, is the people's public servant, Xiaomo only sees the people who are abused by these parents and officials, and sees the people who kneel and beg to sit in a BMW famous car, Xiaomo is very sad...... It's a soldier or something, they defend the border and protect the people, Xiaomo wants to pay tribute to them here!
