The fifth day of the sixth month of the twenty-third year of Yongzhi is an extremely important day.

Today is the day when Emperor Yongzhi leaves the palace, Chen Xiaoting left the Shen Mansion before dawn, and then rode to Yiluansi.

The hundreds of households under his command came earlier than him, and after simply repeating the content of yesterday's drill, Chen Xiaoting ordered his hundreds of households to return to their positions.

This time, everyone, including Baihu, changed into the heavy golden armor, and they had to hold all kinds of heavy weapons in their hands.

Chen Xiaoting, who is the deputy thousand households, does not have to suffer the same crime as his subordinates, he only needs to wear the purple official uniform representing the deputy thousand households and carry an embroidered spring knife.

The reason why this arrangement is made is not only because of the privileges brought by Chen Xiaoting's status, but also because he has to connect back and forth in the emperor's travel procession, which requires him to dress lightly.

When the sun rose outside Miyagi, the various government offices in charge of the trip were ready.

From the Yuxu Palace, where the emperor lived, to the main gate in the south of the forbidden city outside, there were Jinyi Wei Han generals wearing gorgeous armor standing guard.

Outside the palace gate, there were more people than in the palace, including the remaining more than 1,500 Han generals, all of whom were riding horses at this time.

The soldiers of the forbidden army, who were actually responsible for the escort duty, were all fully armored and carrying weapons, and the number was even more than that of the brocade guards, and the number of people was at least 4,000 people.

Of the 4,000 men, only about half were cavalrymen equipped with war horses, and the rest were all elite foot soldiers.

With the sound of drums, the emperor's throne slowly drove from the Yuxu Palace under the escort of a large number of palace maids and eunuchs, as well as a large number of guards.

Xuanqingguan is on the Jade Emperor Mountain more than ten miles north of the forbidden city, and it stands to reason that the distance from the north gate of the forbidden city is much higher.

But Zhu Yujun is traveling by the Son of Heaven, and he must walk through the main gate in a dignified manner, so this trip will have to take at least a detour of more than 30 miles.

With the appearance of the emperor, the soldiers on both sides of the road bowed down, and the courtiers were already waiting outside the palace gate.

At this time, a richly decorated dragon chariot had been parked in the square outside the palace gate.

The emperor's sedan chair appeared, and all the officials, under the leadership of Huang Yucheng, bowed their heads and shouted long live.

Zhu Yujun is in good spirits today, and in addition to Yu Peizhong, the other person who is closely followed by him is the commander Sun Xian.

When the emperor stepped into the carriage, Sun Xian instructed Chen Xiaoting beside him: "The person who informed you is ready, the emperor is about to drive!" ”

Chen Xiaoting immediately took the order and left, at this time, the captains under him had already been prepared, and there were two hundred cavalry from the front and rear of the dragon chariot, but this formation could only be completely unfolded until it left the city.

The remaining more than 1,000 Han generals are in a more peripheral position, but they are still closer to the core than the forbidden army.

It can be said that what is really in the periphery is actually the forbidden army of the Twelve Guards, which shows the strength of the defense of this trip.

After the emperor accepted the worship of hundreds of officials, this tour officially started.

The soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division had already cleaned up the people on the street, and the wide street was very quiet at this time, only the soldiers were patrolling back and forth.

Although he was riding a horse, the speed of the Emperor Long's messenger was not fast, so Chen Xiaoting's speed on horseback was not fast.

The reason why this is the case, in addition to the fact that the pawns can keep up, is more because the emperor can't stand it when he walks fast, and the fatigue of the boat and car is not just talking.

Along the way, the dragon flag was displayed, solemn and solemn.

After leaving the capital, the entire patrol team was officially launched.

With the emperor Long Yuan as the center, under the defense of the Jinyi Guard and the forbidden army, a safety zone five miles long before and after, and four miles wide on the left and right was constructed.

The team moved forward slowly, and Chen Xiaoting was also very tired during the process, and he had to keep going around to inspect the positions of his subordinates.

Not too fast or too slow, the 2,000 men had to be out of sight and maintain a relatively stable formation.

Not only was the city cleared, but it was actually the same after leaving the city, and all the people along the way were forcibly evicted two days ago.

When it was only ten miles away from the Jade Emperor Mountain, Chen Xiaoting sent more than 1,000 captains in advance and immediately went to the foot of the mountain to set up a guard of honor.

To put it simply, the generals of the Han Dynasty had to stand in line from the foot of the mountain to the Xuanqing Temple, and let the majesty of the emperor envelop the Jade Emperor Mountain in advance.

The road to the Jade Emperor Mountain was very peaceful, and when it was almost noon, the patrol team finally came to the foot of the Jade Emperor Mountain.

At this time, the dragon chariot can no longer be used, so sixteen wrestlers carried out the chariot sedan chair, and the emperor himself changed the chariot sedan chair and continued to hurry.

Although more people could be used to carry the sedan chair, the road up the mountain was not too wide, so only these sixteen people could be retained.

Now, on the way up the mountain, Chen Xiaoting himself had to follow the guards on foot.

All the things he should have arranged have been done, and on the premise of ensuring the absolute safety of the emperor, he must be sent at any time.

From the foot of the mountain to Xuanqingguan, the straight-line distance is less than two miles, but it still took half an hour to arrive.

At this time, a group of Taoist priests were already waiting outside the gate, and after seeing Zhu Yujun's sedan chair, these people all paid respects honestly.

Although they were all monks who served the gods, they were still subjects in front of the emperor.

Zhu Yujun and Yu Peizhong's support, slowly walked in front of a group of Taoist priests, and the officials who came with him also rushed over.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The Taoist priests bowed their heads and bowed.

"Excuse me!" Zhu Yujun said in a deep voice.

Only then did the Taoist priests get up with their waists hooked, and then they went to the left and right, and the middle road was filled by the guards.

After glancing at the Xuanqingguan plaque on the height, Zhu Yujun walked forward, which was actually his private property.

Because it is a royal Taoist temple, it is not only larger than an ordinary Taoist temple, but also the temple regulations are beyond ordinary Taoist temples.

Because it has only been completed for a short time, the trees and vegetation in the temple are not yet flourishing, so the scenery is not very interesting.

But Zhu Yujun didn't come to see the scenery, he came to pay homage to the manifested Daozun, so he came directly to the outside of the Taiqing Palace.

The Taoist priests had already prepared, and in the sound of ritual music, after experiencing cumbersome etiquette, Zhu Yujun stepped into the gate of the Taiqing Palace.

Just in front of it, there is a statue of Taiqing Daozun, and there is a night pearl on the table in front of the statue.

Chen Xiaoting was standing far away outside the hall, but he noticed that this bead was the one he had snatched back from the White Lotus Sect's nest of thieves before.

At this time, the emperor himself came to the front of the futon in the main hall, looking at the statue of the Taoist god in a daze.

Next, it was time for Zhu Yujun to bow to Daozun, and at this moment everyone stopped talking.

As the emperor, Zhu Yujun rarely bows down, except for the ancestors of the old Zhu family, there is only the supreme god who represents Taoism.

After taking a deep breath, Zhu Yujun, supported by Yu Peizhong, lifted the hem of the dragon robe and slowly knelt down.

Stick to a scene, no matter inside or outside the hall, as long as there is a person who can breathe, they all kneel on the ground at this time, and Chen Xiaoting is no exception.

Zhu Yujun ...... Bow to the Dao Venerable! ”
