Changes
"It is a time," he remembers the man who always hid behind the veil, "and God has given the hilt of the sword to see who in this world can hold it." - "Chu Zhengding"
The red clouds filled the sky, like a fire, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the dark purple glazed tiles of the main hall of the Zihuan Palace, and the streamer changed.
The palace people put lit agarwood into the bronze turtle crane, and the ethereal cigarette smoke erupted from the turtle crane's mouth, gradually diffuse, like a layer of auspicious clouds hidden in the main entrance of the main hall. In the distance, the sound of smashing the cloud board could be heard from the high pavilion, and it was the eve of nightfall.
The old man in brocade clothes and wide sleeves held his hands behind his back, and his figure was lonely and independent, in the middle of the royal road outside the Guanghe Palace.
The wide royal road seemed empty and barren, and as far as the eye could see, it was empty and uninhabited.
The breeze lifted the sleeves of Yuan Taiqi's robe, and there was a light chill.
"The Empress Dowager's edict Xuanzhongshu Provincial University Scholar Yuan Taiqi met with him,"
The purple-clothed palm incense inner supervisor stepped out of the palace and shouted under the eaves in the distance.
After hearing this, Yuan Taiqi gathered his hands in his sleeves and straightened his body, walked slowly along the royal road, climbed the steps, paused slightly at the door of the palace, and then stepped in quietly.
The display in this palace room is concise, several silk screens separate the front and back, and a delicate iron pear wood table case in the center, behind the table, the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty is wearing a high phoenix crown, and the pen is like Tingting and the moon falls.
Yuan Taiqi was stunned and squinted his eyes, this was the first time he had seen the Queen Mother writing in front of the desk.
When the queen mother's pen fell, there was a frustration, which was quite condensed but not expressed.
Yuan Taiqi became curious, and when he looked up, the Queen Mother was snorting softly in her mouth, and the purple hair in her hand rose up, as if she was carrying a knife.
This line of calligraphy is not at all in line with the style of the queen mother, who has always been dignified and quiet, and even makes people stunned.
"It's really a tiger girl, worthy of being the sister of the general He Jin!"
Yuan Taiqi tied his hands in his wide sleeves, drooped his head, looking like he was about to die, and he couldn't help but secretly praise when he saw this scene.
The Queen Mother gently put Zihao in her hand in the inkstone, exhaled slightly, and a pair of calligraphy had been written.
"The general He Jin returned from the expedition to Shanhaiguan and came to the land of Sanfu for several months, and the ministers of civil and military affairs all said that the general was a fierce tiger on the battlefield, and he was in the battle for a long time, did not avoid arrows and stones, and had many thieves in his hands, worthy of being a mighty general!"
The cinnabar mole between the eyebrows of the Queen Mother is like dripping blood from the heart, and the color is gorgeous and noble.
After writing the notebook again, he looked up at the old Yuan Taiqi, and couldn't help but feel dark in his heart, but on the surface, he was not shocked, and said with a thousand postures.
"Come on, the old prime minister should sit down!"
The inner supervisor of the palm coat beside him hurriedly stepped forward, carefully picked up the gold brocade note that the Queen Mother had just written, and sent it to Yuan Taiqi with his head down.
The ink is dripping, and the four iron-clad characters are like knife carvings - "Tiger Follows Sanfu".
The ink is the purple smoke pine rain ink used by the queen, and the word is the most proud "Huiyang style" that the queen mother has described for many years.
The three fonts of Donglu Changlin are none other than Luo Huiyang's "Huiyang Style", Chen Li's "Splashing Cloud Style" and Xie Choshi's "Stone Cutting Style".
Huiyang's body is graceful and elegant, and the cloud-pouring body is uninhibited, and Xie Chopping Stone is a military aircraft staff officer with a sword in his left hand and a pen in his right hand.
The first emperor was the lord of a country, and the poems and books were called double, and the most rare thing was that he could copy the three fonts and often give words to the ministers of his cronies.
"Chopping stone" is also the most proud of the first emperor, once claimed to be "as a minister, Confucian, there is also a soldier armor in his heart", and he easily refused to give people this font.
As the queen mother after a country, naturally in order to echo the dragon's will, she often traces the calligraphy to fight for grace.
"Thank you Queen Mother for your grace!"
Yuan Taiqi put the calligraphy into his sleeve, but he refused to answer the Queen Mother's words at all, with a stunned expression.
"Does the old prime minister think that I called you here today just to give this pair of words?"
The Queen Mother got up lightly, moved her steps, and her phoenix robe stretched out, with thousands of postures.
"Oh?" , Yuan Taiqi heard this, as if he had just woken up from a big dream, and slowly opened his eyes, "Please also ask the Queen Mother to make it clear, the old minister is dull and does not understand the meaning of the Queen Mother." β
"Humph!" When the Queen Mother heard this, she shook her wide sleeves, and let out a cold snort from her mouth, "Does the old prime minister really think that he can hide by pretending to be stupid, He entered the city and the first thing he did was to kill us, you look at his actions in the land of Sanfu, the old prime minister still doesn't understand, my younger brother, the mighty general He Jin is already crazy!" β
"It doesn't have to be like that!" , Yuan Taiqi twisted his snow-white long beard, a trace of light flashed in his eyes, and said with confidence.
"Isn't that so? Haha, old prime minister, do you know my brother, or do I know my brother? β
The Queen Mother turned her back to Yuan Taiqi, who was sitting on the side, looked at the burning clouds outside the window, and said softly, but the meaning of her words was chilling.
"He's a madman, he's already mad, I can't let a madman ruin my Tianyuan!"
Yuan Taiqi stroked the long beard under his chin again, and after thinking about it in his heart, he said softly, "Then what does the Queen Mother mean?" β
"Move troops into the city!"
"Where's the army? How many people are still in this huge territory of Jiuzhou who listen to the orders of the Great Zhou, and how many people can stop the army under He Jin's command? β
Yuan Taiqi couldn't help but shake his head slightly, slowly spit out words in his mouth, and there was a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"I've already thought about it, I'm going to transfer the cavalry of the Northern Continent into the city, the army of the family into the city, and the army of the princes into the city!"
The queen mother of the phoenix crown turned her head violently, and looked at Yuan Taiqi who was sitting on the side, her eyes were full of determination, unshakable, obviously she had been planning for a long time.
"Hahaha, these people are all jackals, the queen mother is not afraid to drive the wolves and devour the tigers, and in the end, the tail will not fall off, and the wolves will be a problem?"
A sneer appeared on Yuan Taiqi's face, as if he was amused by the Queen Mother's naΓ―ve thoughts.
"What else can you do?" , The Queen Mother's narrow eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, her tone was cold, and she looked at Yuan Taiqi, "If there is a better one, I hope the old prime minister will teach me!" If not, then this is the best solution! β
The two of them were speechless for a long time, and after a long time, Yuan Taiqi sighed deeply.
"How do you lure wolves?"
"Settle in the land of the imperial capital Tianyuan Sanfu!"
"Hokuriku grasslands?"
"A few days ago, there was a news from Qin Tianjian that the Lord Shuofeng wanted more things, so that he and his son could set foot in the Eastern Continent in the name of righteousness, and this was an opportunity."
Yuan Taiqi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the behemoth Qin Tianjian would have so much foreshadowing in the shadows.
"I will increase the canonization reward for the prince of Shuofeng, give him the entire Thunder Eye Plain and most of the land of Central Continent, and invite him to come to Tianyuan to complete the marriage!"
"Then issue an edict to invite the princes and families to raise troops and serve the king, and gather Tianyuan together!"
"As long as I divide the interests and drive them, they will be used by me!"
The Queen Mother told Yuan Taiqi about the plan she had been planning for months in her chest in a few breaths, she slowed down her demeanor and said in a cordial tone, "This requires the two of us to work together, old prime minister!" β
"Hey, follow the Queen Mother's edict!"
Yuan Taiqi got up and bowed his head, sighed slightly, and thought secretly in his heart.
"This troubled world is even more chaotic! Who is the wolf, who is the tiger, who laughs first, who cries first? β
It was as if the whole earth was shaken, and hundreds of black-armored iron horses rushed towards the figure in the crowd of people who had disembarked under the control of the barbarian cavalry.
At this time, the black figure had just disappeared from the horizon. The warrior did not look back, and slowly grasped the hilt of the sword on the horse's back. His sword was hidden in the saddle, only the worn hilt peeking out of the old leather. The cavalry swept across the steppe like a whirlwind, and hundreds of fiery horses circled around the warriors.
The short, lean warriors roared and reined in their horses, their jet-black armor adorned with leopard fur and iron mirrors with tiger heads on their chests. It was the most elite cavalry of the barbarians, the Feather Forest Iron Guard.
"Shizi!" The knight at the head of the horse dismounted, and according to the etiquette of the barbarians, he half-knelt at the feet of the figure.
In his capacity, there was no need to kneel, and the barbarians did not advocate cumbersome etiquette.
But at this time, the gesture of the prince silently holding the hilt of the sword made the knights very afraid, and they knew that their arrival had angered the prince.
"Why are you here?"
"The Maharaja has already passed down a decree, if you don't invite the prince back to the middle tent before the prince's wedding, all the Yulin Iron Guards will be beheaded."
"Then you go back and let my Abba cut off your heads!"
"Yes!"
There was only a momentary hesitation, and then the cavalry really jumped on their horses and prepared to leave.
He was the only one in the entire Hanliang Erzhou who dared to say this, not because he was the son of the world, but because he was the most martial and brave heavenly warrior.
The cavalrymen knew that if he was really angry, he would even decapitate everyone on the spot, and such a thing happened not unexpectedly. Instead of this, it is better to go back and give his life to the Maharaja.
"Forget it," the young man suddenly beckoned to the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, "forget it." β
The horsemen saw his hand off the hilt of his sword, and he jumped on his horse.
Azul shook the reins and drove his horse to the front of the group.
"You have done nothing wrong," Azul's voice was gentle, "and it is I who is at fault. β
"It's going to be a big wedding, it's going to be a big wedding," Azul said.
"Let's get married!" He suddenly roared like a dragon, and the horse under his crotch was extremely excited by his roar.
The warrior rode his horse and sang wildly, galloping on the mighty Shuofeng Plain, and behind him were the invincible and loyal warriors.
