Chapter 66: The First Arrival
"Let's go, let's take the immortal to the Imperial Heavenly Prison first." Li Yuanchang proposed with a smile.
"Okay." Yu Chi Baolin clapped his hands and said, "I've heard my father say that it is extremely mysterious before, but it's a pity that I haven't had the opportunity to see it." Today, thanks to the blessing of the immortals, let's come here for a visit. ”
After that, he didn't wait for Shan Zhuokun to say anything, he directly grabbed his arm and walked outside quickly.
Shan Zhuokun was infected by Yu Chi Baolin's excitement, and he had already put all the previous unhappiness behind, just followed closely behind the two of them, and walked forward without knowing the direction.
I don't know how long I walked, but the surroundings gradually became quiet. Although it is in the palace, it is not as prosperous as other places, but it gives people a sense of wild fun for no reason.
After a while, the three of them stood in front of a courtyard with a vermilion gate.
"If this king is not mistaken, this should be the place." Li Yuanchang pointed to the main door with his finger.
Shan Zhuokun and Yu Chi Baolin glanced at each other, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time.
"Doesn't it mean that the officials will go to their respective official offices and yamen after they leave the court? Why is it so quiet? The door was still closed in broad daylight. And this weed......" Shan Zhuokun finished speaking, and pointed to the weeds on the ground not far away, "It's so tall and can't be pulled, is it to be kept for teaching labor classes?" ”
He said it as a joke, of course, but it was also a reflection of the view. It's really hard to imagine that there is such a down-and-out department in this palace, and he is still the leader here? It's better to stay away from such a shabby place.
"Yes, Shangxian is right, I have only heard of the cold palace like this before, but I didn't expect this place to be so depressed." Yu Chi Baolin shouted with deep sympathy, "It's okay if such an official is not appropriate." ”
Li Yuanchang glared at Yu Chi Baolin dissatisfiedly, and then said to Shan Zhuokun: "Shangxian, you don't know, this is not the case here. It's just because the former boss Yuan Tiangang suddenly said goodbye, afraid that the emperor would hurt people by seeing things, so no one took care of it. But now that you're in charge, it's going to be great again soon. Come on, let's not just stand here, let's go in and have a look. ”
With that, he reached out and pushed the door. With a crisp sound, the door panels of the vermilion gate opened to the left and right, and a huge courtyard suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.
Although the Imperial Prison looks a little dilapidated, in fact, there is not no one inside. Since Li Shimin sealed Zhuo Kun as Si Cheng yesterday, the news has spread throughout the entire deep palace compound. And as the department he was about to take office, the more than 30 people in the Imperial Heavenly Prison were naturally notified as soon as possible.
Therefore, people come here early today to clean the courtyard and respectfully wait to meet the new boss.
At this moment, I heard the door knocking, and everyone scattered everywhere hurriedly went to greet him. Therefore, the originally quiet courtyard suddenly set off a small amount of restlessness.
"The villain sees King Han and General Wei Chi." In the courtyard, everyone fell to the ground on one knee and said in unison.
"Get up." Li Yuanchang commanded, and when the people stood up respectfully, he pointed to Shan Zhuokun beside him and said, "This king is here to introduce, this is the new Imperial Heavenly Supervisor Shan Zhuokun Shan, you must obey him in the future, don't disobey him." ”
"Yes." Everyone bowed down at the same time, clasping their fists and saluting.
Seeing this, Shan Zhuokun waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, let's just say it, we will be brothers who eat in a pot in the future." Although I am your leader, I like to be reasonable. If you think I'm doing something wrong, just feel free to give your opinion. Anyway, let's do things well and build Datang together. ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at each other. They really couldn't imagine that their immediate boss would speak so strangely, it seems that he must be a master who has attained the Tao and cultivated immortals, no wonder King Han would call him an immortal.
"The villain doesn't dare." The official in his green official uniform, who was about forty years old and dressed in a green official uniform, said at the front of the crowd, "My lord, the villain's name is Song Yizhou, and he is the Shaofu of the Imperial Heavenly Prison, and he will make a special trip to serve the lord on business in the future. ”
Shan Zhuokun blinked, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly said, "Oh, I understand, you are my assistant." Hey, since your surname is Song, then I'll just call you Assistant Song, which also looks kind, how about it? ”
Song Yizhou looked at Shan Zhuokun blankly, he had never heard the word assistant in his previous life.
"...... this?" Song Yizhou said stunned.
Li Yuanchang already knew Shan Zhuokun's temperament, and if he kept explaining and explaining, he would only make a mess of things at that time. Therefore, he grabbed the conversation and said:
"Song Shaofu, since Shangxian is happy to call you an assistant, you just have to agree. In fact, this official name is just a title, as long as it sounds good and remembers, it doesn't matter. ”
When Song Yizhou saw King Han speak, he didn't dare to disobey, so he smiled and nodded again and again:
What King Han said is extremely true, and Yizhou also thinks so. In that case, then I can rest assured that I will be an assistant. King Han, General Wei Chi, my lord, since you are here for the first time today, why don't I take you around? ”
"Okay." The eyes of the three lit up and said in unison.
Song Yizhou first ordered the others to return to their original positions and continue to be busy, and then carefully led Shan Zhuokun and the three to the backyard.
Suddenly, the four of them came to a four-story altar built of loess, Shan Zhuokun looked around, and saw that this altar was made of 32 mahogany beams, supported by a dome-shaped ceiling of the same color. Each piece of mahogany is painted with different colorful patterns, mountains, rivers, flowers, birds, fish and insects, sun, moon and stars...... Everything in nature, everything.
"This place is called the Stargazing Platform, and it is where Lord Si Cheng specializes in watching the changes of the stars and divining the lifeblood of the country." Song Yizhou introduced eloquently, "King Han and General Wei Chi should have also heard of the saying that 'purple gas comes from the east', right?" Legend has it that when Lao Tzu went to Hangu Pass, the guard Yin Xi watched the stars at night and saw a purple gas coming from the east, so he knew that a god who had attained the Tao was coming here. So he ordered his subordinates to prepare, and if he met a master, he must not be lazy. Sure enough, three days later, Lao Tzu arrived here on a green ox. This shows the importance of stargazing. At the beginning, Lord Yuan was very good at stargazing, and he would stand here every night and look up at the stars, and would not go back to rest until midnight. ”
Speaking of this, Song Yizhou wiped his eyes with his sleeve before he stopped the sadness in his heart.
