In October, it is already a pleasant autumn.

After the war in the north stopped, with the news of Gongsun stopping the king, Xu Du became lively again, and the merchants who traveled from the south to the north followed the business opportunities to pay tribute to this grand event People from all walks of life, from Chen Liu, Dingtao, and Linying...... For a while, the streets of Xudu were overcrowded with wine shops and restaurants, and even the remote rest shops outside the city were not necessarily empty.

Such an atmosphere also caused the Xudu government to tense its nerves, and strictly guard against possible chaos, seeing that the day when the governor of the north was crowned king was getting closer and closer, Yin Manzhong of Xuchang Mansion stayed up for several nights, and there were a few more gray hairs. And this afternoon, the envoys of various countries entered the city, causing a commotion, for these foreign states, the people in the city had heard about the Western Regions countries cutting off the back road of the Western Expeditionary Army, and felt righteous indignation, some of the onlookers picked up a stone and threw it at each other, hitting a horse on the head of a Western Regions envoy, the messenger hurriedly came, but did not embarrass the man, but just drove the person away, and even some prodigal sons, seeing this, climbed on the trees on the side of the street, or spat on the building to the passing team.

Although the Han soldiers in the city have been driven away, the other party did not punish those people, and they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts after all, but they remembered that Khotan, Shache, and Shule had completely offended this oriental giant before, and they couldn't help but curse a few words in their hearts, and now they had to swallow their anger as if they hadn't seen it. On the contrary, the envoys of the Sanhan tribe and the Yamatai and the Dog Slave Kingdom nodded happily to the Han people around them, saluting them with the etiquette they had learned, and their awkward movements ushered in a lot of laughter.

After that, the procession of envoys entered the post house and stayed for a while.

On the fifth day of the first month of October, Liu Xie woke up from a dream in the Chengguang Palace, sat on the bed covered with sweat stains, looked at the palace maid next to him in horror, and pushed her off the bed: "Get down..... I don't ......want to serve" He got out of bed with some cold hands and feet, and after Cao Cao died that day, Gongsun Zhi raised his sword and said to him, like a nightmare, it was difficult for the son of heaven to sleep, even if he fell asleep, he was frightened, and he would be scared awake every time.

The henchman eunuch who accompanied him put on a robe, and then walked out of the palace gate, the night outside was dark, and it would be dawn soon, but the entire imperial city was full of patrolling northern soldiers, and even the soldiers arranged by Cao Cao were all replaced by Gongsun Zhi's subordinates, almost five steps and one post, three steps and one sentry. And above the walls of the imperial city, the light of torches lit up the sky, and he could see the teams of soldiers with crossbows passing from above.

The entire imperial city was under martial law to an outrageous level, and even breathing became oppressive.

"I really regard the imperial city as his home...... Liu Xie stood on the second floor of the palace and gritted his teeth and made a low voice, he looked at the outline of a high platform in the night through the fence - Yuxiu Terrace, as the high platform of the king this time, the project is huge, more than six zhang high, occupying two acres of land, from mid-July until October before the construction was completed, "...... this palace can only be mine, and only I can accompany it, a horse thief started a ......"

Before he finished speaking, a northland soldier behind him had already come over: "Your Majesty, it's time to prepare for the king's title, and the queen of the hundred officials and the fifth watch will enter the palace to prepare." ”

The Son of Heaven, who was looking at Yuxiutai, suddenly turned into a smile and nodded at the soldier: "I'll go over and prepare." ”

Outside the imperial city, the city was quiet, and occasionally a few roosters crowed.

Soon after, the sky was dark.

The lights of the largest mansion in the city were lit, and the maids and servants began to bust themselves back and forth, and the three maids walked briskly into the eaves with warm water, and stopped in front of a lighted door, and a female voice said, "Come in." After that, he went in tremblingly.

"Put it over there, you go out first."

The sound of longevity sounded in the house, and the three maids hurriedly blessed the blessings, and went out one after the other to close the door in a panic. Inside the room, the slender woman took the wooden comb on the desk, and laughed softly behind the man sitting in front of the bronze mirror: "When the people below see their husbands, they are all terrified, and they are even more powerful than the Son ......of Heaven" Speaking of this, she suddenly realized that she almost lost her scruples when she spoke, and her words stopped.

The wooden comb slid through strands of hair, and there were some white marks. Gongsun looked at the cautious face of the woman behind the reflection of the bronze mirror, and smiled: "In the bedroom, there are only you and me, you don't need to speak carefully, you can say whatever you want in your heart." ”

"Then ..... Sister Cai, did you say the same thing?"

"Nature."

Gongsun Zhi looked at the hair bun that was combed up a little bit, and held the woman's hand: "People who share the pillow should have no barriers, otherwise having fun is like chewing wax." ”

"Wax is very expensive....so I won't chew it for you." Fu Shou broke free of his big hand, said with a red face, and then turned around to take the robe with cloud pattern on the black background on the shelf, and while helping the man to put it on, he told the rules of the king ceremony, after all, she has been in the palace for many years, and most of the etiquette is clear.

“…… These husbands must remember that they should let the eunuchs in the palace come, and they know some things better, so as to save the time to make a fool of themselves, so that those who disobey you will laugh in their hearts. ”

"Then let them laugh, laugh at a lot of meat."

At this time, there were already people waiting outside, Li Ke was dressed in bright armor, standing under the eaves with his mace on his head and his head: "Chief, the time has come, we should go on the road....." In the next second, a big palm slapped on the back of the iron helmet's head, and one staggered out half a step, and when he turned around, it was Dian Wei who was covered in hideous iron armor, "You stupid boy, can you speak!" ”

Hearing the noise outside the house, Fu Shou lowered his body to tie a treasure jade belt, and put on a pair of black upturned shoes for Gongsun Zhi, then got up, stared at Gongsun Zhi for a while, and opened the door with a crimson face: "The concubine is inconvenient to go to the ceremony, so she is waiting for the king's news in the mansion." ”

At this moment, she said the word 'king', but it made Gongsun Zhi smile and nodded, and then put on a big coat and walked out, taking Li Ke and Dian Wei out of the mansion, outside the Cao family generals, such as Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ang, Cao Chun, Xu Chu and others, as well as Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan rode horses and guarded the wolf ride side by side, guarding a royal six-horse carriage in the middle. ”

"Good!"

Gongsun stopped stepping on a table, walked into the compartment, and a majestic voice came out: "Go to the imperial city!" ”

Three columns and nine rows of tiger guard battalion ironclad soldiers took the lead to open the way, and the footsteps of the step shook the armor pieces on their bodies to make a metal collision sound, and the wheels inlaid with rivets rolled up, pressed heavily on the street, and slowly drove out, five hundred guards wolves rode behind, and one after another flags hunted in the blue sky.......

**********

Five watches.

The air has a chill, for the people in Xu Ducheng, this day is very important, and special, the Han Dynasty has ushered in a king with a different surname for four hundred years, and the hearts of the people are more or less complicated, and some of them dare not speak out, gathered outside the south gate of the imperial city at this time, and there are many fewer words compared with the early dynasty in the past.

Cheng Yu closed his eyes and stood outside the crowd, he was harsh, when the plague in Yuzhou was in Yuzhou, he used human flesh to help the victims, so that hundreds of officials respected him and lost his popularity. Not long after, a person walked towards him, with a white face and a long beard, dressed in court clothes, it was Shangshu Ling Huaxin, who had been known as a dragon with Bingyuan and Guan Ning, and he was the head of the dragon.

"Why doesn't Shang Shuling make friends with people, what's the matter with the old man?" Cheng Yu opened his eyes and looked at him, his tone cold.

Hua Xin kept smiling and bowed his hand: "Seeing that the palace gate is about to open, Xin sees that Xun Shizhong and Xun Zhengshi are not there, so I came to ask one or two. ”

"Shang Shuling still takes care of himself, Wen Ruo and Gongda will save themselves."

"That's fine, talk too much."

Soon, the gate of the imperial city opened, and a cavalryman on horseback was tall, and he raised his face to the sky and shouted: "The ceremony has arrived, and the hundred officials have entered the city——"

……

In Xuchang City, above a certain building, a pair of eyes looked at the market below.

The long dragon's team is passing through here, the flags are lined up, the armor opens the way, there is a hideous rust atmosphere, the people on the road, the pedestrians retreat early to the sides to dodge, stop to watch from afar, there are people standing behind the crowd with their toes probe to take a look, praise: "Such a might, I am afraid that it is difficult for anyone to compare with this world." ”

After saying this, he stood up again and looked over, the early morning sun shone through, and there was a sudden sound of tiles above his head, and when he was puzzled, a figure rushed out of the roof in the afterglow, jumped up, and a cold light crossed a long trajectory from his hand, and the sound resounded through the street.

"Gongsun thief! Give back my master's life!! ”

The blade stabbed at the moving carriage—

…….

The palace gate, hundreds of civil and military officials of all sizes walked into the imperial city in an orderly manner, the road and the palace wall were full of soldiers and armor, countless eyes swept from them, after leaving the road, entered the inner city and accepted two checkpoints, before going to the Fengwangtai from the left side, walking on the stone steps seven zhang high, the field of vision gradually brightened with the sky.

Looking up, it is the six-zhang high Yuxiu platform, and there are the original moon god and rain god platform in the palace on both sides, and standing in the center of the Yuxiu platform, a bronze giant tripod stands there, and there are fireworks coming out. A eunuch walked up, and the voice of the chant spread with the wind: "Hundred officials are seated, wait here!" ”

…….

The mace roared and smashed on the blade of the sword, and the body of the assassin named Shi Ah flew sideways, and then the giant man who rushed towards him flipped and fell to the ground with a palm fan, and spurted blood from his mouth with a 'wow', and when he struggled to get up, more than a dozen spears were pressed against his body.

The moving carriage stopped for a moment, the curtain was lifted, Gongsun Zhi's indifferent eyes only glanced at it, and then sat back, and when the curtain fell, a cold voice came from inside: "Death." ”

"Gongsun Evil ....."

More than a dozen iron spears pierced Shi A's whole body in unison, nailing him to the ground, and blood gushed all over the street, so frightened that the more timid women on the street covered their eyes and turned around to squeeze away from the crowd, and the body was then pulled away by the messenger who maintained order in the street.

Soon after, the east was white, and the sky was bright.

The wolf flag enters the imperial city.
