Chapter 2: Rising Rises Again
readx;
The night sky outside the window is as clear as jade, the stars are shining, and in a vast starry sky, there is a golden thread gliding like a firefly...... And then one, three, five...... More and more ......
The path of light in the starry sky, although short-lived, was extremely dazzling and gorgeous, blooming wantonly in the darkness, and the moment of its fall burned out the most shining figure......
"County Lord, it's a meteor shower!" Mianxi said in surprise on the side. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yunyang nodded, but his eyes were reluctant to leave the night sky for a moment.
In the book, it is said that the meteor shower is the Xuanniao in the Nine Heavens Wonderland, who crosses the south and spends the winter on the distant sea sacred mountain Fangjia. I didn't believe it before, but now, in addition to the flying birds in the fairyland, what else can describe this peerless wonder in front of me?
"Mianxi, come here......" Yunyang beckoned to Mianxi with a happy expression on his face.
Mianxi came over: "County Lord, what are your orders?" ”
Yunyang seemed to remember something, his eyes flickered, and the smile on his lips quickly faded.
She said in a lost tone, "Forget it." ”
Mianxi knew that the county lord saw the beautiful scenery in front of him and wanted her to inform Yi Guohou on the first floor and Beiwang on the second floor.
However, Yunyang understands that Yi Guohou has always been very strict with himself, and he has been preoccupied since he came to Luoyang, thinking that he is not interested in meteor showers. It would be inappropriate to disturb him rashly.
As for the king of Beiwang County......
Now the warblers and swallows of the beauties downstairs laughed higher than a voice, and they didn't have to look to know that Beiwang was having fun with them, where did they have the time to watch the meteor shower?
Yun Yang sighed and thought to himself, "Who can enjoy such a once-in-a-lifetime wonder with me?" ”
North of Luoyang City, the imperial city of Hanyang Palace.
Zhao Yuan stood on the steps of the Changxin Palace, looking up at the night sky, watching the meteor path slip by, and suddenly locked his brows.
He turned his head and asked, "What did you just say, be more detailed?" ”
Zhongshu Ling Cheng Xin said: "Now that the country has arrived in Luoyang, he asks to worship the emperor tomorrow." In the opinion of the minister, his visit to Luoyang is a good opportunity to alert him. ”
Zhao Yuanjian raised his eyebrows: "How do you say it?" ”
"Since the king of Zhou divided the seven pillars, these seven pillars have lived in the fiefs for two thousand years, although there have been ups and downs, but the general power is still there. My Daqi country is in the government soldiers, although these pillars are obedient to us on the surface, but secretly they are disobedient, as if they are plotting something, and the emperor must be on guard. ”
Zhao Yuan pondered for a moment and nodded.
Seeing the emperor's attitude, Cheng Xin stepped forward and lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that Yi Guohou has a righteous daughter who is talented and beautiful, and has been adopted by Yi Guohou since she was a child, and wants to marry her to the king of Beiwang County. ”
Zhao Yuan listened to him with a very cold expression.
"Yi Guohou is so snobbish, an orphan girl, why does he value it so much? It can be seen that this woman has a lot of background. The first emperor issued a decree not to allow the families of the Zhu Kingdom to marry each other, in order to prevent them from colluding and forming a climate, could this woman be the daughter of a certain Zhu Kingdom and want to complete the marriage with the Yi Kingdom by adoption? Cheng Xin said.
Zhao Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the night sky again, the meteor shower had not yet ended, and it was like a firefly flying all over the sky.
Seeing that the emperor was indifferent after hearing this, Cheng Xin was a little anxious, and came a little closer and said: "If you don't want them to succeed in their marriage, the minister has a plan." ”
"The emperor can send a decree tomorrow to summon this woman into the palace, and then find a reason to send her into the cold palace and ignore her. In this way, the king of Beiwang County couldn't marry her, and at the same time humiliated her mother's family, killing two birds with one stone......"
Before he finished speaking, he met Zhao Yuan's cold eyes, trembling in shock, and swallowed the next words alive.
"You, the official has written the order. How can you say something so disproportionately? Zhao Yuan shook his head in disappointment.
"The Zhuguo family has been supporting each other for so many years, and the blood between the various families is entangled, what can I change by accepting a woman into the palace?"
"Besides, as the emperor, accepting a harem concubine is so hasty, isn't it a joke to spread it?" Speaking of this, he raised his hand and patted Cheng Xin's cheek, "Do you want to humiliate the Zhuguo family, or do you want to humiliate me?" ”
Cheng Xin was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "It's the minister who is not thoughtful, and I ask the emperor to forgive me!" ”
Zhao Yuan didn't seem to take it to heart, and waved his hand to get him up.
"Although you are also from a herding tribe, you have been honing in the barracks for many years, and you should know that there are some etiquette rules that you still have to talk about. This is in Luoyang, not outside the Saiwai. Like you used to, if you fancy any girl, you can grab it with a knife. Now it is absolutely impossible. ”
Cheng Xin listened to the emperor's words and nodded again and again.
The two were talking, when they suddenly heard the eunuch Liu Fuquan say: "Your Majesty, look at the sky!" ”
Zhao Yuan looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that the meteor shower in the night sky seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, just now it was like a golden and silver thread gliding through, but now it was like a blood-soaked pearl, with a red and gorgeous tail, blooming in the sky...... They were so scarlet, so intense, that half of the night sky turned cinnabar.
Suddenly, a red pearl appeared in the night sky, as if it was a little bigger than other meteors, and it flew a little faster, and it refused to bloom for a long time, but it grew bigger and bigger, and flew faster and faster, until it turned into a huge fireball and smashed towards Luoyang City.
Just when everyone thought that Luoyang City was going to be hit by it and turn into a sea of fire, this fireball instantly became smaller, and its flight slowed down, flying south with an orange-red tail that faintly revealed colorful light. It exploded before it hit the ground, lighting up the night sky like a firework......
Then everything was calm.
Even if Zhao Yuan doesn't understand the text and ink, he can see that this is a vision from heaven, indicating that something big will happen.
He turned his head suddenly, with a stern and fierce expression on his face: "Check quickly, where did the fire meteor fall!" ”
Liu Fuquan shrank his neck in fright and trotted out.
Soon, he came back and said, "Your Majesty, the place where the meteor fell just now is above the post house in the south of the city. ”
"Oh." The post house in the south of the city is inhabited by Yiguo Hou...... This time it was Zhao Yuan's turn to fall into deep thought.
"Your Majesty," Cheng Xin said in a low voice beside him, "tonight's celestial phenomenon is called Ruixing Yingkong, and it has only happened once in more than 2,000 years. It was the eve of King Zhou's division of the Seven Pillars Kingdom and the worship of the country's jade seal......"
Although Zhao Yuan never believed in any ghosts and gods, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart when he heard this.
But he didn't show the panic in his heart after all.
He just put his hand behind his back, turned around and walked towards the temple, and said as he walked, "Spread my will, and the worship of Yi Guohou is postponed by one day." ”
Cheng Xin followed behind the emperor, thinking to himself: "If you want to give Yiguo Hou a dismount, why bother so much?" It's not enough to take his righteous daughter into the palace, and if you are lucky, you will be lucky, and it is not a big deal! ”
