Chapter 2197: The Imperial Expedition
"If I was going to come, I would have come a long time ago." Yin Zhen shook her head and smiled bitterly: "That's it, you don't have to ask, if hatred can make her better, let her hate." This matter, after all, I am sorry for her. ”
After saying this, he took a deep breath, took the saber from Xiao Wu's hand, and strode out, the moment he stepped out of the temple gate, all the guards standing outside knelt down, and shouted three long live!
In such a call from the mountains and the sea, Yinzhen took the royal horse waiting there and rode out of the palace, followed by the guards.
According to the ancestral system, the emperor personally conscripted, in addition to sending officials to pay tribute to heaven and earth, Zongmiao, Sheji, and Tai Sui, but also to personally sacrifice to the hall. Those kings, beylers, bezis, and princes who did not accompany the expedition gathered in front of the noon gate and knelt down to receive the holy chariot and set out for the expedition.
The king, Beile, Beizi, and Gonghou from the expedition gathered at the Waijinshui Bridge, and when Yinzhen's figure appeared, they all knelt down and followed. At the same time, the bell and drum sounded at noon, and when the horn was blown when it arrived at the Yuhe Bridge, the horn and the snail were blown until the emperor entered Tangzi Street and the horse descended to stop the horn snail.
Then enter the middle gate, to the temple on the throne, Yinzhen facing the south, lead the ministers to do three kneeling and nine bows, after the ceremony, the horn snails sound, and then to the inner door outside the worship of God, the same three kneels and nine knocks the big bow.
When the sound of the horn snail stopped, Yinzhen officially started, the band played the royal music, and the pro-army held high the banner, when Yinzhen was about to embark on the journey, Yunli let people push him to Yinzhen, and said softly: "Your Majesty, do you really have to drive the expedition?" ”
Yin Zhen coughed lightly and said: "Old Seventeen, when did you become such a mother-in-law, you have reached this point, how can you change it again." You don't have to worry about me, stay in the capital and guard the country for me, as long as you can do this, I won't have any regrets. ”
Yunli nodded vigorously and choked up: "The emperor can rest assured, the courtiers will definitely guard the capital and never let him fall into the hands of anyone with bad intentions." You must take care and ...... The people you want to meet will definitely meet. ”
Yin Zhen was stunned, and immediately patted Yunli's shoulder hard, and said, "Okay, I know it in my heart." ”
After doing this, Yinzhen re-mounted his horse and embarked on the journey with the entourage, on the way, he looked back at the noon gate from time to time, hoping to see a familiar figure on the goose wing tower, but he was disappointed, until he left the capital, he couldn't see the person he wanted to see.
Ruo'er, I know that you complain that I don't take you with you on the expedition, but this time, maybe you and I will never see each other again, do you really bear not to see me for the last time?
After leaving the city gate, Solitzer immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the prince has ordered, you are not in good health and cannot ride a horse for a long time, so please move the carriage." ”
This matter, Yun Li had told him long before the expedition, and he agreed, with his current physical condition, if he really rode to the Saric River like this, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold it before the battle, and in this way, the army would end up worse than Li Shumi's 100,000 army because there was no one to command. Therefore, before the battle, he must try to preserve his strength as much as possible.
Yinzhen raised his hand to signal the army to stop for a while, and then helped Sori's men to get off the horse and came to the carriage, without waiting for Sori to make a move, one hand had already lifted the curtain first, and Yinzhen saw that there was a person dressed as a guard sitting inside.
Because the guard lowered his head, Yin Zhen couldn't see his appearance, but this was enough to surprise him, and he was stunned: "Who is this?" Why am you in my carriage? ”
Sori bowed his head and said nothing, but the guard raised his head and said, "The concubine has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”
With this voice, Yin Zhen finally saw the guard's face, that face...... He won't fail to remember it for the rest of his life, but ...... But why is she here, shouldn't she be in the palace, in the Chengqian Palace? Why in the carriage?
Seeing that Yin Zhen was silent for a long time, Ling Ruo turned his head sideways and smiled: "Is the concubine's outfit still good-looking?" ”
Yin Zhen's first reaction after coming back to his senses was to stare at Suo Li viciously, and said in a low voice: "Did you know that Concubine Xi was here?" ”
Sori lowered his head and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the servants are just doing things according to the orders of the prince, and the rest don't know." ”
"Yunli, he's so bold!" Yin Zhen reprimanded hatefully, and then shouted to Ling Ruo: "Immediately give me down and go back to the palace!" ”
Ling Ruo said with a firm expression: "Since the concubine is here, she has no intention of going back, the concubine said that she would accompany the emperor on the royal expedition and would never break her word!" ”
"Ridiculous!" Yin Zhen scolded sharply: "The battlefield is not a child's play, you will die at any time there, what are you going to do, or do you think that the courage on my shoulders is not heavy enough." And Yunli is too, even fooling around with you from me, and when I go back, I will definitely be responsible. Seeing that Ling Ruo was unmoved, he said in an accentuated tone: "Get out of the car and go back immediately, I will treat it as if there is nothing to do, otherwise I will never spare you." ”
Facing Yinzhen's displeased gaze, Ling Ruo said: "Unless the emperor kills the concubine, the concubine will never get off the carriage." ”
"You...... Ahem, ahem! As soon as he said a word, Yinzhen couldn't help coughing, and Sori said on the side: "Your Majesty, it's windy outside, if you have anything to say, let's get in the car and talk about it." ”
Yin Zhen was also a little tired from standing, and got into the carriage while coughing, Ling Ruo wanted to stroke his back, but he waved it away, until the cough eased, and then said coldly: "Guifei, do you really think that I won't deal with you?" ”
Ling Ruo knew that when Yinzhen was alone, calling her a noble concubine meant that she was really angry, but there was no meaning of retreating in her eyes, "The concubine is still the same as the sentence just now, unless you kill the concubine and bring the concubine's body back to the Forbidden City, the concubine will never leave here." In this life, the concubine and the emperor cannot be born on the same day, the same month, the same year, but they must die on the same day, the same month, and the same year! ”
These words made Yinzhen very moved, but he still forced himself to say with a cold face: "I am going to fight and not to die, do you mean to touch my head when you say such things?" Listen to me, go back quickly, and I promise you that I will return victorious. If you insist on not listening to me, I will let the guards take you and force you out. ”
"Yes, the emperor can let the guards take the concubines away, but the emperor can't stop the concubines from seeking death, unless the emperor wants to force the concubines to a dead end."
Looking at her rock-solid expression, Yin Zhen didn't know what to say, and after a long time, he said in frustration: "Do you have to be right with me?" ”
Ling Ruo shook his head and said, "The concubine doesn't want to go against the emperor, the concubine is just afraid that if she goes here, she will never see the emperor again." Therefore, the end of the cape, the sea of fire, the sword mountain, and the concubines must be by your side, and I beg you...... Give the concubine this chance! With that, she knelt down in the carriage and refused to get up no matter what Yinzhen said.
