Chapter 12: Return to the Palace
Gao Shenghan returned to Beijing by car early in the morning of the second day, and there were about five or six hundred people in the vast entourage, half riding and half walking, a slippery earthy yellow satin inlaid fur costume, a jujube red horse with a large flower, an oversized bright yellow carriage, a canopy with a treasure roof, four corners hanging tassels, a number of dark brown four-wheeled carriages, also inlaid with beads to collect treasures, flags fluttering, the scene was quite gorgeous and magnificent.
Gao Shenghan thought secretly: No wonder so many people want to be emperors, just this pomp, no matter how big it is, no one will blame it.
The honor guard of the Son of Heaven was avoided by passers-by.
However, Rao was on a smooth road, and he still tossed until noon before entering the city. Looking at the distance of only twenty or thirty kilometers, it took nearly four hours to walk! This is still Li Ming zuihou saw that the speed of the team was too slow, and left the guard of honor on foot to let them walk slowly, and the cavalry battalion escorted the emperor's car to take the first step.
It's really a backward traffic! That's only half an hour's drive in the Hereafter!
Gao Shenghan lifted the curtain impatiently and looked at it several times, and when the car entered the city, his mood improved.
After taking a general look at the streets and shops and houses along the way, Gao Shenghan didn't know how the economic development of the Great Zhou was going, and the highest floor he saw was only three floors, with a mixed brick and wood structure, and he was a little disappointed in his heart.
Jinbao carefully waited for the master to simply use hot tea and snacks, and longed for the car to give birth to wings and fly to the imperial city at once! Along the way, the master didn't say much, he just liked to open the curtain to see the excitement, but he didn't see the excitement and didn't say it, and Zuihou also showed a disappointed look. This...... Is this dissatisfied with Kyung Zhao Yin's work?
Jinbao secretly sweated for Jing Zhaoyin, thinking about whether to find an opportunity to deliver the message......
When I returned to the palace, everywhere I went, my head was shorter, and my ears were full of words of "Greeting the Holy Lord" and "The Emperor is auspicious".
The car stopped at the Qianji Hall in the atrium, Gao Shenghan was getting down from the car, and dozens of scattered voices shouted "Welcome to the Holy Lord". She looked at it casually, and her steps paused, but she forgot that she was stepping into the air with one foot, and almost fell off without a somersault! Fortunately, Jinbao and another little eunuch (Yinbao was injured and inconvenient to drive) quickly reached out to help him, so he didn't make a big mistake!
Jin Bao and the little eunuch named Zhang Wen broke out in a cold sweat on their backs.
It's no wonder that Gao Shenghan lost his temper, he saw two rows of handsome young men waiting under the steps in front of the palace to greet him, even if he lowered his head, it was not difficult to see that they were all beautiful, no less than Chen Zixiu!
Gao Shenghan blinked.
Next Olympics! It's really only a male pet and not a beautiful woman! I thought that in order to block the mouth of Youyou, at least three or two low-grade concubines were arranged in the queen and palace, but I didn't expect that the original owner didn't even bother to do the drama for the ministers, which is really ...... There is personality!
Gonggong Deng personally welcomed the young king into the palace, waiting for her to wash and change clothes, Gao Shenghan's eyes swept away, and looked at the flowers and plants that occupied half of the room outside through the beaded curtain tulle, and he didn't know what to think.
Deng Gongcheng hesitated how to say about the stabbing of His Royal Highness Proton, seeing the master's face, he coughed lightly, lowered his voice and said: "Who does the master want, just turn over the sign at night, but now there is something important." ”
Gao Shenghan retracted his gaze. "Say."
"His Royal Highness Prince Shashaman has been injured. The injuries don't look serious, but they are a little ...... Matter. "Such a long wound, from the left side of the neck all the way to the collarbone, looking at it oozes panic! Deng Gonggong's unnatural open-minded lips. The little master of Nalin is too ruthless, but I am afraid that this time my life will not be guaranteed......
Gao Shenghan's face was pale. Prince? The first instinct in my head was: her brother.
Then I noticed the name - Shashaman.
Could it be that the royal family is surnamed Xia? But why does it sound a little foreign?
It's not good to be an emperor at all, no one calls your name, so it's been a day, and Gao Shenghan still doesn't know his name.
"Rushed back overnight last night because of this?" Gao Shenghan threw down the hot towel to wipe his face, waved his hand, and motioned for the waiting eunuch to retreat. Immediately, another little eunuch stepped forward with a teacup and plate, and Jinbao took it, and after trying everything, he poured the tea and water, and brought the snacks to the blue and white marble-faced round table in front of the king.
Father-in-law Deng changed the topic, and asked with concern if the master could have a meal, and he had a good time last night.
It's not that he doesn't know about the assassination that happened in the palace at night, and he even knows that it was the hand of Meng Huai'an's thousand-knife traitor! But...... You can't let the master know that he has arranged another person around him and cause suspicion and misunderstanding......
"I'm fine." Gao Shenghan didn't want to say more, but he had to show concern for the prince. "What happened to Prince Shashaman? I'm going to visit. ”
"The master still has a meal first, a comfortable bath, and then a rest, okay?" He almost said that His Royal Highness the Prince would take a nap! Although he knew that the master was kind, it was not good to disturb the prince's rest. Anyway, that one is still hurt......
Gao Shenghan looked at the skylight outside the window and agreed.
"But how many little masters do you want to leave for the master to eat?" Grandpa Deng kindly proposed.
"Nope." Gao Shenghan's heart trembled. "It's all dismissed."
Seeing a young man under twenty years old retreat respectfully, without making a sound, she couldn't help but wonder: what kind of mentality did the original owner have to accept these teenagers......
Waking up from a nap, Gao Shenghan was refreshed, led by someone, while silently remembering the temple and the scenery of all directions on the road, while listening to Gonggong Deng whispering about what happened, his heart was a little dignified.
Here, Jingli brought Deng Gonggong back, and he was assassinated in the palace, if there is no relationship between the two, it is too coincidental. But if they are related...... And by what means do these people get connected? The timing was just right. Was it premeditated?
Who is "Nalin Echo......"? Gao Shenghan wanted to ask this, but thinking that the other party was a member of his back and palace, it made no sense that he didn't know!
I don't want to be Gonggong Deng, but he is knowledgeable and gives a satisfactory answer. "The son of the former criminal department member Wailang. Two years ago, his father was imprisoned for committing a crime and sentenced to exile. The master saw that Lin Gongzi was not very old, so he took him in order to avoid the suffering of the exile. "The master has the world in his heart, how can he always keep his eyes on the back garden! It is estimated that most of the people can't remember, so they have to remind them by themselves.
Gao Shenghan was taken aback.
There is actually a son of a criminal official in the palace! Regardless of whether his father really made a mistake or misjudged, isn't that the home he ordered to copy? That kid can't tell how he hates himself! Prince Shashaman, this is an unwarranted disaster!
But a quarter of an hour, I arrived at a side hall next to the west of the back garden, Qixia Palace. Looking at the scenery is a little barren, the temple is very open and atmospheric.
And the character who lives in the temple is definitely a wonderful person!
