Chapter 27: Chinese New Year's Eve

Originally, they were going to wear a golden flying fish robe, after all, they had to walk beside the emperor, but Zhu Qing and the three of them suddenly received an order to travel in casual clothes. Because, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to pay a private visit and have fun with the people, not wanting to disturb the people, and moreover, it was for safety reasons, because there have been frequent assassins recently.

Now that the emperor's golden mouth has been opened, how can Zhu Qing and them not obey? Then he changed into civilian clothes and went with the ghost fire.

When they came to the palace gate, the emperor had not yet arrived, and Zhu Qing and the three had to wait. After a while, before the emperor came out, the white tiger's impatience was committed again, pacing back and forth in front of the door, muttering in his mouth, "Didn't you say that Weifu had a private visit?" Why is it still that long? What if you dress up and go out? ”

Although the white tiger spoke quietly, it was still heard by Zhu Qing.

"Shhhh White Tiger, if you want to die, don't pull us up. Isn't that what it says? It is an honor to accompany the king like a tiger, and it is an honor for the minister to wait for the king, if this is the king and the minister, it will be fatal. Zhu Qing fought with the white tiger.

"But ......" White Tiger wanted to say something more, but was slapped by Suzaku.

"Okay, don't fight, the emperor is here." Suzaku looked ahead steadily, and the emperor walked out of the palace with a group of entourage.

Among these entourages, in addition to Uncle Guo and personal eunuch Wang Chengen, they are the queen and the other two concubines. Zhu Qing glanced at it, and Chen Yuanyuan was not among them.

Uncle Tian was very surprised when he saw Zhu Qing, he didn't expect that in just half a year, Zhu Qing would grow from a guy in a green building to a guard with a sword and brocade in front of the palace, which is really terrifying.

"Let's go." Chongzhen walked to the palace gate and said to the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

"Yes." Ghost Fire bowed to the leader's order, and then signaled the two Qinglong and White Tiger to follow the emperor and the queen's palanquin left and right, while Suzaku walked next to the palanquin of the two concubines. With Wang Chengen's sharp "Get up the sedan chair!" The team slowly walked out of the palace gate and headed for Chang'an Avenue.

Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the people have gone to the street to watch the lantern festival, although in the chaotic times, Chang'an Street is still prosperous, sure enough, it is the foot of the Son of Heaven, much more stable.

Approaching the Chengtian Gate, Chongzhen suddenly stopped. Wang Chengen hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Your Majesty, you just arrived at Chengtianmen." ”

"I said that I want to be happy with the people, out of this Chengtian Gate, it is Chang'an Street, if I am still sitting in this sedan chair, how can I be happy with the people? Just stop here. Chongzhen said, lifted the curtain, and was about to get off the sedan chair.

"Well, the minion understands." Wang Chengen hurriedly helped Chongzhen, the queen and the concubines got off the sedan chair one after another, Chongzhen got off from the right side, and Zhu Qing happened to stand on the right, and also helped him casually. Chongzhen glanced at Zhu Qing and asked suspiciously, "Princess, are these Jinyi guards new?" ”

"Well, yes, Your Majesty. His name is Qinglong, and he is a master of brocade clothes newly trained by the factory guard, specializing in protecting the emperor and the ladies.

Wang Chengen responded.

"Oh? But I see that they are young, and I don't know ......" Chongzhen didn't finish speaking, Wang Chengen hurriedly explained, "Your Majesty, they are the masters of the Killing Wind Lord and their personal training, and they are the new Four Saints of Factory Guard, just look at the box on Qinglong's back." Wang Chengen didn't rush to attack at this time, because he knew, and Chongzhen also knew that in the factory guard, the ability to kill the wind was the greatest, and the people he trained should not be bad. Besides, the box behind the green dragon is the legendary Ming Fourteen Style, which is not something that ordinary people can have.

So Chongzhen looked at the box behind Zhu Qing, and there was no big surprise on his face, just nodded slightly, "Hmm." "Perhaps, there is nothing to make Chongzhen really laugh now. He walked out of the Chengtian Gate with steps.

Chang'an Avenue is as lively as ever, with bright lights and brilliant fireworks, which is in stark contrast to the border war thousands of miles away.

Chongzhen looked at everything in front of him, sighed, and said, "It would be great if the night of Daming was like this in the future." ”

"The emperor is blessed with heaven, and the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous for a long time." Wang Chengen flattered.

"Hmph, Hongfu Qitian? Qinglong, tell me, can I keep the Ming Dynasty? Chongzhen is used to hearing slanderous words, and now he is always a little tired of it, not to mention, what those eunuchs and slanderers said is that right and wrong are reversed, so Chongzhen suddenly wanted to hear the words of Zhu Qing, a newcomer.

said that the emperor suddenly asked Zhu Qing this question, which couldn't help but surprise Zhu Qing and the ministers. Chongzhen is so suspicious, often a sentence can be thought of with different results, so everyone sweats for Zhu Qing, I don't know what the fate of this rookie will be tonight?

Zhu Qing chalwed slightly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Weichen doesn't dare to say anything, now the Ming Dynasty is indeed suffering from internal and external troubles, and crises are lurk......ing" When these words were spoken, Zhu Qing caught a glimpse of Chongzhen's eyebrows, and the loyal ministers also shook their heads in shock, and sweated for Zhu Qing again, especially the white tiger and the vermilion bird, although they are not close friends, but they already have the same relationship, and then the uncle of the country, Lord Tian, read that Zhu Qing had saved him, and he also wanted to dissuade and remind Zhu Qing to pay attention. Just when everyone thought that Zhu Qing would be killed by Chongzhen, Zhu Qing continued, "However, the emperor still did not give up, but took every opportunity, practiced every day, practiced diligently, loved the people, and enjoyed with the people, this is indeed a rare blessing for my Ming Dynasty, Weichen thinks that as long as the emperor does not give up, our subjects will never give up the Ming Dynasty easily." After Zhu Qing finished speaking, the audience fell silent. After a while, someone suddenly laughed and clapped their hands, "Okay." Good one doesn't give up. The person who said this was none other than Chongzhen, who hadn't laughed like this for a long time.

Everyone was relieved to see the emperor's dragon face and joy. Uncle Guo hurriedly stepped forward and added, "Qinglong is right. As long as all of us have one heart, Daming will always be the emperor. ”

"Hmm." Chongzhen nodded and strode forward. Walk into the bustling Chang'an Lantern Festival. Only Zhu Qing was left standing in the back, motionless, at this time, Suzaku patted Zhu Qing, "Let's go, Qinglong." Only after this shot did I find that Zhu Qing's eyes were closed, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the dignified Qinglong also had times when he was afraid." Suzaku smiled playfully in front of Zhu Qing.

Zhu Qing came back to his senses from the frightened dream, glanced at Suzaku, waved his hand and said, "Go, go, it's easy to say, ask you to try." ”

Suzaku continued to play playful and tease Zhu Qing in front of Zhu Qing, but Zhu Qing felt that this always cold girl also had such a playful and cute side, Zhu Qing looked at the cheerful Suzaku under the fireworks, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, the most lively and crowded place of the Lantern Festival in front of him suddenly became commotion, and shouted with the ghost fire, "Protect the emperor!" Zhu Qing and Suzaku quickly rushed over.

In the crowd, several black-clothed people took advantage of the chaos to approach the emperor. The ghost fire drew a knife and stabbed a man in black, and the man in black was killed on the spot, and then, the three of them, the green dragon, the white tiger, and the red bird, killed the black-clothed person who came to sneak attack! The man in black was shocked by the brocade guards beside Chongzhen, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, only to hear a man in black yell, "Withdraw!" ”

As a pack of smoke powder spread, a dart flew towards Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" Zhu Qing's eyes were fast, and he jumped in front of Chongzhen, and his left hand caught the dart close to Chongzhen's eyebrows, Chongzhen was frightened and staggered back. Zhu Qing immediately pulled out a knife from the back box, this was a scimitar, Zhu Qing protected the emperor with his left hand, and with a wave of his right hand, the scimitar swiped and flew out towards the man in black, only to hear a miserable scream from the man in black, and he fell to the ground in response and was taken away by his accomplices.

Zhu Qing withdrew his scimitar and said with a ghost fire, "Chase me!" Zhu Qing and the White Tiger Vermilion Bird were about to jump away, but Wang Chengen screamed, "Stop chasing!" Hurry up and escort the emperor back to the palace! Zhu Qing and the three stopped again, turned back to the emperor's side, and escorted the emperor and the ladies back to the carriage while opening the way, and quickly returned to the palace!

After a fierce fight on the originally lively Chang'an Street, people were panicked and dispersed, and Chinese New Year's Eve ended early! The feet of the Son of Heaven are finally in chaos!
