Volume 2 The Northland Dragon Chapter 43 Trouble in the Jinluan Palace

The emperor's fingers tapped lightly, and he suddenly said: "I remember today's Xiu Mu, but the one on duty in Zhongshu Province is Linghu Zhongshu?" ”

Someone below replied: "Everyone, Shengming, it is indeed Linghu Gong." ”

"Send him to me!"

After a while, the fox silk entered the inner hall, knelt down and saluted, and the emperor asked him to calm down.

"Can you know today's things in the book?"

When Ling Fox came over, he had already learned the ins and outs of the matter from the inner servant, and hurriedly pleaded on the ground and said: "Zheng Hao is bold and reckless, and the dog is willful and messing around, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Seeing that he had a good attitude, the emperor admitted his mistake when he opened his mouth, his face softened and said: "Zhongshu, don't talk about your son's affairs for the time being, what's the matter with Zheng Hao, could it be that he has complaints about the princess?" ”

Ling Huxuan breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Your Majesty knows about Zheng Hao, he has always had resentment in his heart, he used to be Bai Xianggong, but now the princess is watching the play, and it is a dog who is beaten on the stage, I am afraid it is also a kind of injury." ”

The Bai Xianggong in his mouth is Bai Minzhong, who was in power in the current dynasty, and only the prime minister in the Tang Dynasty can be called Xianggong.

The emperor listened thoughtfully, and only waved his hand for Ling Fox to retreat.

The person who violently beat the tiger in the theater of Daci'en Temple was naturally Guo Hong, who changed his face and put on a mask, and he was not afraid of being recognized, and he could really show his martial arts wantonly, and his heart was quite happy.

He shot in a measured manner, and opened the skin and flesh of Ling Fox's beating without hurting his muscles and bones, and even if he was angry, he threw away his stick and floated away.

Princess Wanshou saw the brilliance in her eyes, and the onlookers kept applauding.

At this time, Jin Wuwei went up to check and carried Ling Hu back to the house.

The princess invited the head of the class to ask, only to know that Guo Hong came to the stage halfway, and they did not dare to have any objections because of the other party's strong martial arts.

I didn't expect to see the Chang'an Ranger come out to fight here, which made the princess very excited.

Princess Wanshou's name is Guan Zizai, the eldest daughter of Emperor Dazhong, who lives in the deep palace all the year round, and has really never seen a knight.

The emperor in the Wuzong Dynasty once spared the princess from disaster, and Huichang escaped a death disaster in five years, so he was very favored and gave her this name.

"Guanzizai" is, of course, the name of a Buddhist layman, which is the same as the Taoist name of the Golden Fairy Princess "Supreme Dao", but Emperor Dazhong believed in Buddhism, so he naturally gave this name.

Princess Wanshou only married Zheng Hao, the grandson of Zheng Qi, last year, this Zheng Qi is the aforementioned prime minister of the Xianzong Dynasty, and Liu Jing, a talented son in Xiangzhong, is his scholar.

Zheng Hao, who is thirty-two years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, is the champion of the second year of Huichang, and the only champion in Chinese history who has ever worked as a horse, and the others are all made up in the drama.

The emperor vigorously promoted Zheng Hao, named him the captain of the horse, and jumped from the right to the "line" from the right on the eighth grade.

The line is the acting authority of the later generations, and the living room is from the six grades, and the emperor's reward has not yet ended, and soon he will be given the rank of loose official from the third grade silver Qingguanglu doctor, which is really a step in place.

Doctor Yinqing Guanglu is the rank of a general prime minister, Zheng Hao can be said to have jumped nineteen levels, from a low-level official directly to the high-level, one step to the sky!

Now Zheng Hao is provoking trouble on the grounds that his younger brother Zheng Yi is sick, just to see how the emperor deals with it!

Princess Wanshou stayed in the Temple of Mercy and Grace for a while, but she didn't find the knight, when a fast horse came over from the palace and sent a message to her to return to the palace.

The princess is not a fool, she felt wrong at the time, this kind of will was passed to the Pony Mansion to the Pony in the past, and then the Pony took her into the palace with her, how could it be passed directly to herself?

She called the eunuch who passed the decree to inquire in detail, only to find out that she was cheated by her husband.

The princess pouted and ordered to drive back to the palace.

As soon as the procession left the gate of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, they saw chaos in the streets, and many people shouted for their lives.

The princess asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The guards inquired and came back to report: "It was the people of the Western Regions Camel Gang who fought with the Wuling Society, and it was said that it was for a piece of jade." ”

……

Guo Hong ran out into the street and also encountered this gang scuffle.

The most intense conflict between the two sides is the entrance of the Temple of Mercy and Grace!

On one side is a big cannibal with a white coat and a head on the other, and on the other side is a green-skinned scoundrel with a name in Chang'an East City, each of them holding weapons and fighting fiercely.

Those Buddhists who put on incense have hid in the distance, and most of them refuse to leave because of the excitement.

If it is usual, this is the boundary of Wannian County, and there will be more people in Dongcheng.

But these days are the flowering period, and there are also a lot of tourists in Chang'an County, although the two sides will not go into battle shirtless, but it is still okay to cheer on the side.

Guo Hong grabbed a person next to him and asked, "Why are they fighting?" ”

The man said: "It is said that the people of the Wuling Society wanted to intercept a woman, and then Du Wailang came out to stop it, and a piece of treasure fell out of his sleeve between pulling, and those people stepped forward to take it." At this time, it happened that the people of the camel gang shouted to go to Qinglong Temple to seek revenge and attack a leader of the Wuling Society, so they also joined the fight. ”

This person pointed while talking, and Guo Hong immediately saw Du Mu, Hongrui and Du Yuanzong in the crowd.

Du Mu basically doesn't know martial arts, and the three of them are all supported by Du Yuanzong, who has their backs to the courtyard wall of Ci'en Temple and is surrounded by groups.

Not far away, the camel gang was fighting with their opponents for a piece of blue jade, shaped like a jade knife.

Guo Hong's internal skills are pure, his eyesight is very good, and he saw at a glance that the jade knife had the lines of the Kunlun talisman, which was the blue jade zhang he saw the day before yesterday!

He was overjoyed, and immediately squeezed into the crowd and leaned over there.

Du Yuanzong made a stick in his hand and shouted loudly: "Zuo Kui! Come and help! ”

A dwarf wielded a board axe to cut a bloody path and was about to take the three out.

Guo Hong helped in secret, picked up stones from the ground and knocked down the green skin that was blocking the road, and the four of them escaped safely.

He then turned around and rushed towards the densest part of the crowd.

The members of the camel gang were all dressed in white robes and wielding scimitars, which were very eye-catching, and the other group of people wore everything and had weapons in their hands.

The two sides shouted and fought heartily, and the fight was inextricable.

Although the camel gang has few people, the scimitar is very sharp, and those green skins dare not take it hard.

The two leaders in the center come and go, the weapons continue to intersect, and there is a clanging sound, and the martial arts can enter the fourth layer, which is worse than Lu Zhizhen and Cao Shouzhen.

There was a piece of blue jade on the ground not far in front of them, and there were many marks of new cutting from the knife and axe on the surface.

Several people died around, and anyone who tried to get close would be besieged by the other party's people with all their might.

Guo Hong picked up a butcher's cleaver from the person lying on the ground, and pretended to be a member of the Wuling Society as he hit it.

When the camel gang saw him approaching, they paid attention and shouted, "Stop him!" "These people have a weird pitch and a bit of a big tongue.

More than a dozen knives slashed, Guo Hong suddenly rolled to the ground, and then got up and took a brisk walk, and the cat bent down and picked up Lan Yuzhang and put it in his arms.

"Put it down!" The camel gang roared.

"Stop these Hu people!" The leader of the Wuling Society thought that it was his own people, and was immediately overjoyed, and ordered his subordinates to intercept and cover Guo Hong's retreat.

"Well done! Brothers! The gangsters of the Wuling Society next to him shouted one after another, working harder.

Guo Hong retreated to the gate of the Temple of Mercy and Grace and rushed in in a flash.

He turned around and returned to the place where he first entered the temple gate, and now the front door could not be walked, so he turned to the side door of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Seeing Princess Luan driving this way from a distance, she hurriedly dodged out of the way.

He walked to the courtyard where the tower of the Temple of Mercy and Grace was located, tried to walk in a secluded place, passed by the bamboo forest where he had just cleaned up Ling Hujiao, and suddenly heard Lu Yu's voice: "Be careful! ”

Guo Hong's heart froze, and he immediately felt that someone was approaching rapidly from behind, and hurriedly turned around to block, and was beaten to the point that his feet slipped a few steps before stopping the momentum.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be Yizhen!

How could this old monk come so coincidentally, why is Senior Brother Lu here?

Guo Hong pressed the question in his heart, and punched Yizhen who rushed in front of him more than a dozen times, and withdrew from the bamboo forest while fighting.

"Let's go!" Lu Yu rushed over from the side and used his long sword to help Guo Hong block half of the attack.

"Let's go!"

Of course, Guo Hong would not leave his senior brother to deal with Yizhen alone, the three of them fought and walked, and entered the tower of Ci'en Temple in a blink of an eye.

"Hand over the treasure in your bosom and let you go!" Yizhen shouted.

Guo Hong had a question mark on his face, how did the old monk know that he had taken Lan Yuzhang?

"This is the treasure of my Daomen, why should I give it to you?" Lu Yu said while fighting.

The three of them went up the stairs to the second floor in a blink of an eye, and there were still a few tourists in the tower at this time.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is ten stories high, and it was rebuilt by Wu Zetian.

Guo Hong and Lu Yu are both very strong in martial arts, and although Yizhen is a master of one of the four meanings of Tantra, it is also very difficult to win these two.

However, this old monk's martial arts are so strong and fierce that he can meet with the immortal king, and he is even more experienced, Guo Hong can only retreat again and again to defuse the offensive.

Lu Yu can also block the opponent's iron fist with a long sword, and Yizhen's target is not him, so it is easier to deal with.

The three of them fought all the way up from the second floor to the tenth floor.

Guo Hong saw that there was no way to retreat, and shouted: "Senior brother! Let's go out! ”

The two of them jumped out of the window of the stone tower and came to the eaves outside.

At this time, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is different from what later generations have seen, it is built according to the system of ancient Tianzhu, and each layer is surrounded by niche Buddha statues, and the appearance is very exquisite.

Guo Hong and Lu Yu stood on both sides of the window, and Yizhen was attacked from both sides as soon as he was about to come out.

The old monk was not afraid, he blocked it with his arms, and he smiled: "Where are the two Tan Yue going, the tower is thirty feet high, and if you jump down, you will definitely be crushed, and the gods will not be able to save you!" ”

Guo Hong smiled slightly, climbed upward, and stepped on the Buddha shrine to the top of the Wild Goose Pagoda!

He took off his belt, threw it to Lu Yu, and dragged him up as well.

Yizhen drilled out of the stone window, looked up and said with a smile: "The old man is guarding below, and he will not offer treasures today, unless you grow wings and fly down!" ”

Guo Hong whistled, and a huge crane flew from a distance.

"Senior brother, let's jump together!"

Lu Yu frowned and said, "I'm very heavy......"

"It's okay, just slide down, and you can jump five or six feet above the ground!"

So the two men leaped to their feet, each grasping a paw.

When Lu Yu grabbed the claws, the crane sank significantly, and its downward speed was much faster.

It glided all the way down and flew out of the Temple of Mercy and Grace into the courtyard of the neighboring house.

When Lu Yu saw that there was a pond below, he let go of his hand and sank to the bottom of the water with a pop like a stone.

The crane was light, and he fell steadily with Guo Hong.

Yizhen's eyes flashed on the eaves of the stone tower, and he slowly turned around and went in.

The pool was not deep, and Lu Yu stood up straight to show his head, and walked out of the water step by step.

The two of them accompanied the master.

The owner of this house saw that both of them were dressed as Taoists, and although he was angry in his heart, he didn't treat them well.

Guo Hong and the others hurriedly confessed and left, and came to the street.

Lu Yu wiped the water on his face like a chicken in soup, and said, "Quickly dispose of the treasures in your arms, lest Yizhen chase after you!" ”

Guo Hong was stunned for a moment and asked, "How to deal with it?" ”

Lu Yu said: "This treasure was cut by a knife and axe, and now as long as a cultivator can find it through spiritual sense, it is as dazzling as a pearl within five miles of the vicinity!" ”

Guo Hong found a shaded place to hide, took out the blue jade from his arms and handed it to Lu Yu.

Only then did he have time to take a closer look, only to see two small characters "Xuanxuan" engraved on the front, and then look at it in turn with strange patterns.

The top of this jade is a little broken, it seems that someone used a knife to grind it off little by little, and there are many scratches on the fracture.

"Look, here, here, the jade outside is damaged, revealing the jade essence inside!" As he spoke, Lu Yu took out a small wooden box from the burden on his back, opened it and poured out a little ointment-like thing, and applied it to the place he had just pointed out.

Then he took out a jar of wax, smeared a layer on the outside of the jade, and threw it to Guo Hong to collect.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”

The two left the place and crossed the two streets, Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his former chic and uninhibited appearance.

Guo Hong asked, "Senior brother, tell me what's going on?" ”

Lu Yu smiled: "I thought you knew about it, it turns out that your master didn't say it, it stands to reason that the master of the Jiedan Daoist should mention it." ”

Guo Hongdao: "I realized the Tao at the Xuandu Altar a few days ago. ”

"I see, then it makes sense, okay, senior brother will tell you today, but I'm like a chicken in soup, and I'm uncomfortable, wait until I go back and take a shower, you can help me get two catties of wine, let's talk slowly!"

……

Together, they returned to the Shengpingfang apartment.

Guo Hong said: "I'm going to drink, and I'm going to pick up Senior Sister Xuanji from school, let's talk in the evening." ”

Yizhen came out of the Great Ci'en Temple, couldn't perceive Yuzhang, and knew that the other party had woken up, so he could only return to Qinglong Temple in a daze.

On the road, a group of white-robed and hooded Hu people passed by and suddenly shouted: "Ali Baba! Don't run! ”

Yizhen: ???

The group of people drew their steel knives and killed, and the old monk's eyes narrowed......

Turn around and run.

Although he has hard skills, the Damascus scimitar in Persia is notoriously sharp, so many people flocked to it, and dozens of knives greeted him together, and he couldn't carry it at all.

As the saying goes, the first in the world is also afraid of kitchen knives.

The point is, what the hell is Alibaba?

It's inexplicable.

So a group of white-robed bearded people chased the famous and discolored old devil in the rivers and lakes and fled into the wilderness......

************

It was already afternoon when Princess Wanshou returned to the palace, and she entered the Zichen Hall to meet her father.

"See Father."

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no such title as father and emperor, either father or line, for example, the emperor ranked thirteen, and he could be called thirteen lang.

Of course, it can also be called "everyone" and "Your Majesty", but that seems to be a difference between father and daughter.

The emperor was half-lying on the couch reading a book, without raising his eyelids, and he did not let the princess flat.

The princess knelt and waited for a long time, and the tears of grievance flowed down, and her face was full of tears.

When the emperor saw that it was almost over, he said, "Do you know that you are wrong? ”

The princess sobbed and nodded, feeling infinitely aggrieved.

The emperor put the book down, sat up cross-legged, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"You shouldn't be willful, Xiaolang should visit when he's sick."

The Emperor snorted, stretched out his hand, and said, "What you said is not right. Good girl, come here. The princess got up and walked over and sat down beside her father, and the emperor gently took the daughter's hand.

"You're wrong about being a princess!"

Princess Wanshou was slightly stunned, and didn't understand why her father said this: "I know it's a ghost, but he didn't show it in the past, why do you want to treat me like this today?" ”

"The Zheng family is very self-assured, and always feels that the family is more noble than my Li family, and looks down on my family in my heart, but for the sake of official position and profit, I can only enter the court as an official, Zheng Hao asked Bai Minzhong to be recommended to be a concubine, and was later criticized by Shilin, and deliberately snubbed you if he couldn't get by with his face, and he also went around preaching that Bai Minzhong forced him. Now let my younger brother pretend to be sick, I also feel that I have lost face, and I want my father and daughter to be soft! ”

The princess listened to the emperor and asked, "He was ridiculed outside?" ”

The emperor took out a book from the bookcase and handed it to the princess: "This is a folk song from the Imperial History of the city, take a look." ”

When the princess saw it, the article reported that Chang'an was now spreading a rumor, saying that Zheng Hao, the concubine, was originally married to the daughter of the Fan Yang Lu family, but on the way to get married, he was deceived back by the prime minister Bai Minzhong and forced to marry the princess of Wanshou, and he was a little reluctant in his heart. And Emperor Dazhong was very satisfied with this marriage, because it was Princess Wanshou who "climbed" Zheng Hao!

He also said that although the Li family is a royal family, the five surnames Qiwang think that their bloodlines are impure and do not want to marry them, and Fanyang Lu and Xingyang Zheng are two of the five surnames!

In order to prevent the five surnames from intermarrying each other, the imperial court also issued a special law, which shows how angry the emperor is, but it is useless! In the same way, people marry those who should marry, and marry those who deserve to marry......

Now that the emperor's daughter has replaced another daughter of the Menlu clan and married the Zheng clan of Xingyang, the saint is very proud in his heart......

The princess's face became more and more ugly, and she could not imagine that she was arranged like this.

"I remember that Zheng Hao took the initiative to divorce the Lu family, and then came to choose a horse, what kind of rumor is this, please punish my father heavily!"

The emperor gently wiped away the tears on his beloved daughter's face and said, "Can't you see it yet? Except for that old guy Zheng Dide, who would be so shameless? ”

"Father-in-law? He...... Why did he do it? ”

"Of course, for the poor self-esteem of the so-called high-ranking surname!" The Emperor spoke with his teeth staggered, like a tiger ready to choose a man to devour.

"Then, my father won't punish my father-in-law, right?" The princess was also a little frightened at first glance, she did not want to remarry herself for such a trivial matter.

The princess of the Tang Dynasty can remarry, but few can find Ruyi Langjun in the second marriage, Princess Wanshou has heard too many stories in the palace, and naturally does not want this situation to fall on her head one day.

The emperor looked at the princess, sighed and said, "Being a father is also for you, not only will you not dispose of Zheng Dide, but you will continue to promote Zheng Hao." Then they should be satisfied. ”

On the same day, the emperor decreed that Zheng Hao became a bachelor of Hanlin, and was responsible for drafting the edict.
