Chapter 3 The old dog barks greedily
The morning light first woke the birds, startling them to chirp on the branches. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I don't know who woke up first in the imperial capital. Maybe it's the old yellow dog in the second family on the south side of Chao Street, and the old yellow dog is getting earlier and earlier as he gets older. As soon as the sky lit up slightly, the old yellow dog barked wildly, as if hypnotizing himself with his bark, and he was still young and strong. The old yellow dog once again woke up his master's neighbors, and in the sound of the mother-in-law of the butcher's house next door, the whole Tingchao Street began a noisy day. Listening to the sound of Chaojie hawkers permeating the entire imperial capital, the imperial capital got up.
It's another day full of people.
There are many courtyards in the northwest of the imperial capital, which are exquisite and elegant, like sparrows, and have all kinds of organs. Because it is a little far away from the lively places such as Tingchao Street and Suzaku Street, officials and wealthy people regard it as a good place to keep canaries in captivity. Therefore, from time to time in this place, there will be a few beautiful women scratching their heads and making gestures on the road, and the mud-legged people who have no family always squatting on the side of the road and watching their saliva dripping.
Chen's Mansion is one of the most ordinary courtyards. If you want to say a special place, it is that today's Chen Mansion ushered in a eunuch who announced the decree. The eunuch doesn't look very old, so it's a little eunuch.
"Little Brother Chen, Your Majesty's will has been delivered to our family. Dress up and come with us. "The little eunuch is about the age of twenty years, his eyebrows are not childish, and his tone of speech is soft and weak, which is more tactful than the girl in Cuihualou.
"Naturally, I don't dare to go against His Majesty's will." Chen Baichuan said to the eunuch with a smile, "Little father-in-law, you come over a little bit." ”
Chen Baichuan pulled the little eunuch to a place where passers-by couldn't see it, and the little eunuch's body and ears leaned towards Chen Baichuan together.
Chen Baichuan lowered his voice, with a little flattery in his tone, he said: "Father-in-law, the servant in my house recently picked up a key, saying that he picked it up at the door of a house on the side of Suzaku Street with three or five concubines and a few boxes of yellow and white things. ”
The little eunuch took the key handed by Chen Baichuan, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he stared directly at Chen Baichuan.
The key was played with in the eunuch's hand for a while, and then it was handed back to Chen Baichuan.
"Brother Chen, our family understands what you mean, but well, our family has been a Daheng person for generations......
"Father-in-law, but I don't like the key is dirty? I'll take a piece of paper and put it on your pad. Chen Baichuan took the key handed by the eunuch, scolded this eunuch in his heart, and then took out a title deed from his arms, wrapped it on the key, and handed it over together.
The eunuch put the key in his arms, and then said slowly: "King Side by Side and Wu Liehou fought in the Xuan Hall last year. ”
Chen Baichuan silently recited Wu Liehou and Queen Side by side several times in his heart, squinted his eyes and said, "Father-in-law, let's go see Your Majesty." ”
After tidying up his clothes a little, Chen Baichuan sat in the sedan chair prepared by the servant. The exploiting class is good, and labor can be exploited when walking.
The sedan chair driver is a sedan chair man in the prime of life, and his kung fu is very good, but the sedan chair is still a little shaky, and it can't be as fast as a carriage. Of course, the imperial capital has a ban on riding, and the capital of Chen State, Chen Du, also has it. But in Chendu, there are few people who dare to stop the Chen family's carriage and horses.
Chen Baichuan's white hand kept playing with a round jade pendant, and whenever he thought about something, he always had to put something in his hand. The jade pendant in his hand turned faster and faster.
Emperor Heng's summons was expected, even if the relationship between Heng and Chen was a little bad now, Chen Baichuan was also an envoy of a country, and he always wanted to see him, at least he had to ask for his intentions. But what about Wu Liehou and the king who sounds like a prominent person?
Chen Baichuan turned the jade pendant and flew out quickly, but he still couldn't think of a reason in his heart. He sighed and pulled a greenskin booklet out of his bosom.
In my previous life, I was a liberal arts student, and I was holding ancient texts and the like all day long, and now I am annoyed when I memorize things, this booklet originally had to be memorized in Chen Guo, but Chen Baichuan tried several times but to no avail, what a failed messenger.
After a painstaking and unforgettable self-deprecation, Chen Baichuan opened the booklet. In the tomps of the sedan chair, he flipped through the pamphlet. The pamphlet is the product of Chen Guo's spies, and records their knowledge of the ministers of the Daheng Dynasty.
Wulie Hou Wang Yan, the descendant of Wang Xi, the founding meritorious service, is also a military tycoon of Daheng, holding an army of 300,000 in Huoshan City. Wang Yan is a ruthless man, and it can be said that the undefeated myth of Huoshan City has half of his credit. In the fourth year of Qinghua, the barbarians in the north of Daheng were forced to live by the ice and snow, and the men, women and children gathered a million troops, vigorously beating all the borders north of Huoshan City, alarming the civil and military forces of the Daheng Manchu Dynasty, and attracting the attention of the whole world. The barbarians thought that great things could be accomplished, but who knew that under Huoshan City, they met the nemesis of this life - Wang Yan, which led to the death of the great cause. At that time, Wang Yan, the general who defended the city, threw a large army in the city, and he took 100,000 elite soldiers and strong generals, and rushed to the millions of barbarians. When the people of the world thought that Wang Yan would be defeated, Wang Yan won the battle and drove the barbarians out of Daheng.
Chen Baichuan's own brother spoke highly of him: charging into battle, no one is invincible. It is worth noting that this person is extremely powerful, and he has only lost one fight in his life, and he lost to a bastard named Chen Baili in Chen State three years ago. Seeing that there was still this stubble, Chen Baichuan sighed softly, alas, the big bastard in the family caused trouble when he was young, but now he wants him, a sixteen-year-old young man, to bear it. Bitter, bitter.
The description of the side-by-side king in the green leather booklet is simple, just one sentence: side-by-side king Huang Qingyun, an old and mediocre man.
The surname is Huang, the Qing character generation, no matter how you look at it, it has something to do with Emperor Heng Huang Qinghua. The prince of Daheng, will he be mediocre?
Chen Baichuan sighed again, he has been sighing lately, alas.
Chen Guo's spies have to be arranged more.
――――
The sedan chair stopped at the gate of the Daheng Emperor's Palace, and the next road had to be walked by Chen Baichuan himself.
The Daheng Imperial Palace is similar to the Forbidden City in Chen Baichuan's original world, but it is far inferior in scale. Chen Baichuan is a person who has traveled through the Forbidden City, and he still can't look at the golden splendor of the Daheng Imperial Palace.
The emperors of the ages are all virtuous, and Lao Huang of Daheng is not much better.
The distance between the gate of the imperial palace and the Tingxuan Palace, Chen Baichuan didn't know how long he had walked, and when the little eunuch who was traveling with him comforted him and said that he was about to arrive, Chen Baichuan looked up at the fatal white stone staircase, and he almost cried.
The crown prince Huang Qinghua, because his father lived too long, was already forty years old when he ascended the throne, and now he is eleven years old.
I don't know if Emperor Heng is like the old yellow dog who listens to the tide street, and likes to bark when he is old?
A smile flashed in Chen Baichuan's eyes.
