Chapter 63: The Great Canon
Noon has arrived, no, the auspicious time has arrived, and the whole team has begun to set off.
Starting from the Imperial City Gate, the convoy began to move forward slowly, and when the emperor's car drove out of the Chang'an City Gate, the follow-up logistics team had just been dispatched, and an hour had passed.
The people of Chang'an City, standing around the street, were stopped by the Praetorian Guards on both sides of the road to watch this grand ceremony.
"The emperor's carriage is really big, six horses, look at this horse, look at this car!"
"That's the emperor, of course the Son of Heaven's car should be a little more handsome, if you want me to say, our emperor should use nine horses!"
"Hey, what's behind this, why is it so weird!"
The sharp-eyed man saw Yu Zhiqian riding a tricycle, following behind the carriage, and slowly moving forward.
It's like in the later life, you drive a big bull, stop on the side of the street, and then a group of people cast envious eyes, but in ancient times, you rode a tricycle and a group of people cast envious eyes, if you ride a shared bicycle, it is estimated that the effect is similar to that of a big cow.
"This is the prince, but what is the prince riding? What new monsters? Do you see, there are no horses and oxen to pull them, and they can move on their own! ”
"Could it be someone pushing?"
"Look who's pushing it behind!"
"There's something up there!"
A group of people kept whispering in the back, Yu Zhiqian also heard these people talking, and felt very good, he was a poor writer in his previous life, not to mention a big bull, that is, Jetta only drove in a driving school, when did he enjoy this kind of treatment.
Yu Zhiqian couldn't help but raise his chest a little, and glanced at the group of people around him, hum, a group of scumbags, no knowledge, I haven't even seen a tricycle, wait for Prince Ben to study motorcycles, cars, don't scare the jaws of this group of people!
"The prince is really different, you look at the other princes are carrying sacrifices, you see the prince, there is this kind of artifact! My Datang should be prosperous in the country! ”
An older man touched his beard and said slowly.
"Does the old gentleman recognize what this thing is?"
The old man's eyes rolled and said: "This is a kind of divine beast recorded in the Nanshan Sutra, it's normal that you haven't seen it!" ”
"Old man, tell me about it!"
"That's fine!"
The old man looked at a group of people and asked himself respectfully, touched his beard and began to introduce: "It is said that there is a mountain three hundred miles east of this great barren mountain, and the Yi River originates here, and there is ...... on the mountain."
The old man bragged, and the people around him were fascinated by it, and Yu Zhiqian was also very happy riding a tricycle, the speed of the car was not very fast the year before last, and he could follow slowly and leisurely, and he didn't have to spend too much effort.
And the rest of the princes behind him gritted their teeth and carried their own sacrifices, following behind, this group of princes who are usually pampered rarely suffer from this kind of crime, especially the second child, because he is the second son, he has a lot of things on his back, and now his forehead has begun to sweat!
After the car drove out of the city, the speed began to rise, and Yu Zhiqian had to accelerate, but it was still within the range of what he could bear, if it was fast, Yu Zhiqian would probably sweat, but compared to his group of brothers behind him, how could it be much easier.
A group of officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Department of Rites followed the crowd with a straight face, correcting some mistakes from time to time, and many people looked at Yu Zhiqian, especially the new waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and kept thinking in their minds whether Yu Zhiqian's car violated the system.
According to the rules left by the ancestors, the prince needs to personally bring the sacrifice to the altar, this personal two words, is a very mysterious word, can not be used by other people's hands, that is to say, to bring it himself, so later the prince's door, are shoulder-to-shoulder to participate in the festival!
But now Yu Zhiqian is riding a car, although he does not carry it on his shoulders, but he also rides the car by himself, and this car is not with the help of external forces such as horses and oxen, but also with his own efforts, so it can be regarded as in line with the rules, but this rule......
"Hey, Wansan!"
"Here, Your Highness!"
Shen Wansan also drove the carriage not far away, and there were a bunch of things in the cart that he needed to set up camp.
"Get two people to come over and secretly push a cart in the back!"
Yu Zhiqian's voice was very small, Shen Wansan instantly understood what Yu Zhiqian meant, winked at Yu Zhiqian, and then coughed lightly, and then the two guards who had already prepared walked to Yu Zhiqian's vehicle, put one hand on the car, and pushed forward.
"Retreat!"
After the officials of the Ministry of Rites saw it, they immediately walked over with a cold face and shouted, after Yu Zhiqian saw it, he could only wave his hand helplessly, this group of guys, Yu Zhiqian wanted to screw their heads off, but there was no way, now they have a lot of power, and even the emperor can reprimand them for some irregularities.
"Let's go!"
"Whoa!"
The two guards immediately retreated into the team, Yu Zhiqian snorted coldly, and continued to ride forward, who is afraid of whom, and he is not carrying things, so it is a big deal to work hard.
Yu Zhiqian's side is okay, the ministers behind him began to slow down, most of these ministers are very old, most of them have walked more than ten miles, and some of the older ones can no longer walk, constantly panting.
"My lord, if you really can't do it, you can quit this ceremony!"
The imperial doctor kept admonishing an old man beside him, this old man was a fourth-grade official, and he was already dead in Chang'an City as soon as he walked out of Chang'an City in court clothes.
"No, I can still go, I can still hold on, where is my son?"
"Father!"
"Hold on to your father, and you can still walk for your father!" After saying that, the old man immediately continued to walk forward.
"Father!"
The son wanted to persuade his father, but the old man was very stubborn and didn't listen at all, and said as he walked: "If the father falls on the road to the ceremony, it will be the glory of the family!" ”
As he spoke, he continued to walk forward, muttering some words that he didn't understand.
Not only this person, but also more nobles sent the old man of the family to let the old man come out to walk, which is a disguised misery, as long as the old man dies on the road, even if this nobleman makes a mistake in the family or is ready to cancel the title, as long as someone dies, he will generally not be cut off.
Continuing to walk for about ten miles, Yu Zhiqian felt that his legs were no longer his own, it was too difficult, the roads in the city were a little easier to walk, after all, they were all stone roads, but out of the city, the official roads were all dirt roads, and the tricycle stumbled forward, which was very laborious, and even said that Yu Zhiqian had to work three times harder than in the city to ride a step.
Yu Zhiqian was already sweating profusely, but when he looked at the group of people behind him, he found that he was still happy!
"Big brother, big brother, I'm handed over to you, I'm so tired!"
Lao Qi put his sacrifice into the car, and then rubbed his shoulder, he was so tired, as a prince, he really didn't suffer like this.
Seeing Lao Qi put things on Yu Zhiqian's car, after the rest of the princes saw it, their eyes lit up, and they were ready to put things in Yu Zhiqian's car, but they just thought about it, and they didn't dare to do it for the time being, after all, Yu Zhiqian and they didn't have a very good relationship.
"Come and ride for a while, do you hear me?"
After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he jumped out of the car and gave the car to Lao Qi to ride.
After hearing this, Lao Qi's eyes lit up, and he got into the car without hesitation, and then quickly got into the car.
But when he stepped on the pedal, his face was a little blue and he couldn't step on it!
"Harder, harder!" Yu Zhiqian cheered for Lao Qi while walking gracefully beside him, it was so comfortable, it was so comfortable, it was so comfortable, and the legs were finally his own!
"Big brother, can you put my things in the car too!"
The third child gasped and whispered, Yu Zhiqian looked at this idiot, yes, in Yu Zhiqian's eyes, his third brother is a second goods, this goods knows that the ceremony is going to go so far, but he is actually wearing armor, although his armor is not heavy, not a heavy armor like chain mail, but it also weighs more than ten pounds, and it is strange that he is not tired after walking so far.
"Carry it yourself!"
This guy's armor has been taken off, and he carries the sacrifice and armor on his shoulders, and walks forward one deep and one shallow.
After the rest of the princes saw it, they immediately put away their careful thoughts, Yu Zhiqian glanced at his eighth brother, the little guy carried the little flat burden, walked forward slowly, and immediately walked over: "Eighth brother, give these things to the eldest brother!" ”
"Ah, big brother, I can carry it without me!"
"It's okay, you're still young, you're still growing your body!" After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he directly put the things of the eighth child into the car.
After the officials of the Ministry of Rites saw it, they wanted to come over to stop it, but Yu Zhiqian glared: "I will take the things, and you have to take care of them!" ”
When the official of the Ministry of Rites saw Yu Zhiqian's eyes, he was startled and stopped talking, Yu Zhiqian was also allowed to help his younger brother!
The third brother came over again: "Big brother, the eighth child is just that, I have so much, big brother, you are partial!" ”
Yu Zhiqian glared at the third child: "Eccentric? You yourself know that today's ceremony has a long way to go, and you are still wearing such heavy armor as a bag! ”
"Big brother, I'm here, I'm not!"
The third child touched his head with some embarrassment.
"If you want to put things on it, you can ride it yourself, Seventh, don't ride, give the third one!"
"Ah, good!"
Lao Qi didn't refuse this time, it was too difficult to ride, and every step was very laborious.
After the third child saw it, he immediately put his things on the car, took the tricycle, and began to ride forward, but this time it was different from before, so many things were put in, and the third stepped on it hard, and the car just moved a small step forward.
"Report, stay ,......"
