Chapter 672: Into Kyoto
The minister who opened the road in front hurriedly spread the news to the ears of the Emperor Guishan, and the Emperor Guishan had no choice but to order to walk slowly, without having to rush to the city gate to wait for Cheng Yue, so as not to lose his identity. As a result, the majestic honor guard of more than 2,000 people and the pomp and circumstance of the ministers walked on the wide Suzaku Avenue in Kyoto, but they were as slow as snails, and the people kneeling on the side of the road were so tired that they were dizzy and their legs ached, and the honor guard was only half over! It's embarrassing!
Of course, Eagle Division Kanpei knew the arrangement of the Emperor of Guishan, so the road was very urgent, and Cheng Yue also cooperated with him to walk quickly, and when he saw the city gate, he also saw the car of the Emperor of Guishan who was moving forward in the gate.
Cheng Yue didn't know the little bit of caution of the Emperor of Guishan, and he was quite relieved to see that he had just arrived.
Eagle Division Kanpei also saw the car of the Emperor Guishan, and immediately retreated to Cheng Yue's side, and pleaded with Cheng Yue in a low voice: "Lord Wang, His Majesty the Emperor is close at hand, can the ministers ask the prince to promise one thing?" There will be a good reward in the future! ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Do you want me to give a big salute to the emperor on Turtle Mountain?" ”
Eagle Si Kanhei said in fear: "Don't dare, don't dare!" What kind of identity is the prince, and how can he make a big gift? The subordinates just want to ask the prince to salute, after all, the emperor made an exception to greet him personally, from ancient times to the present, today is the first time. ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "What's so difficult about this? It's a trifle. ”
Eagle Si and Ping were overjoyed, and said excitedly: "The prince is sympathetic to the ministers, and allows the ministers to have the opportunity to repay the prince!" ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "No, if I want your return, I won't do it." ”
Ying Si Jianping thanked him again and again, and admired Cheng Yue even more.
The Emperor of Guishan saw Cheng Yue's banner waving, and the army was magnificent. It's still neat and uniform on a fast march. I couldn't help but secretly marvel in my heart. The ministers see this. I was also very emotional. Japan was not wronged in its defeat at the hands of such an opponent.
The two teams of men and horses met head-on at the city gate, Cheng Yue threw the stirrup and dismounted, and the generals behind him also jumped off the horse together, the power was amazing, and the Japanese monarch and ministers were so frightened that they couldn't help but shrink back, and then they were startled by the superior Kutolun behind Cheng Yue!
The Emperor of Kameyama only opened the sedan curtain and did not go to the ground. But his face was very respectful. Cheng Yue came to the Emperor of Guishan, bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "Minister Cheng Yue, this time I went to Kyoto to play, and I was grateful to have the Emperor of Guishan come out of the palace to welcome me." "The attitude is calm, and there is no arrogance.
The apprehensive mood of the Emperor of Guishan finally settled down a little, and said cordially: "I have heard the name of the king of Zhennan for a long time, and I sincerely yearn for it, and I can see it today." Enough to comfort life. ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Don't dare, come and disturb without permission." His Majesty the Emperor should not be surprised. ”
Emperor Kameyama's face softened even more, and he said with a smile: "We are almost the same age, and we are neighbors, since that time, we have often come and gone, and the prince can come to Kyoto at any time, and I welcome it." ”
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "Then I will bother in Kyoto for a few days and listen to the teachings of His Majesty the Emperor." ”
The Japanese monarchs and ministers couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw Cheng Yue being humble and amiable, especially for Emperor Kameyama who claimed to be a minister, and it seemed that it was a very good choice to let Cheng Yue be the general of Zhengyi.
Emperor Guishan couldn't help but say: "I heard that a prince and three princesses of Mongolia came with the prince this time, and asked the prince to introduce me." ”
Cheng Yue smiled and said: "Tuhuan was sent by me to the four countries, the three princesses, after entering the palace, I will introduce them to Your Majesty, it is not convenient here." ”
When Emperor Kameyama heard that Tuhuan had gone to attack Shikoku Island, his face changed slightly, and he smiled and said, "Please invite the prince to enter the palace with me, so that I can fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Please." "Walk side by side and head to the Imperial Palace.
There are 1,000 monks and soldiers behind Cheng Yue, the Japanese believe in Buddhism, and they are particularly respectful when they see the monks and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.
Kyoto was built to imitate Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, and the imperial palace is at the end of Suzaku Avenue, bounded by Suzaku Avenue, with Luoyang on the left and Chang'an on the right. Because there are many swamps in the Chang'an boundary on the right, there are very few people living there, and the most lively ones are on the Luoyang side on the left. The planning of the city is very neat, quite ancient, Cheng Yue has seen it in later generations, and the generals are amazed and like it very much.
Nang Jiazhen whispered in Cheng Yue's ear: "Lord, this city is very good, the prince can come and live often in the future." ”
Cheng Yue smiled slightly and winked at her.
The people of Kyoto saw that Cheng Yue's military discipline was strict and that Qiu had not committed any crimes, and they became bolder, and they ran to the street to watch Cheng Yue enter the city.
The Song army's full range of brand-new uniforms and sophisticated weapons were an eye-opener for the people of Kyoto, the four-wheeled carriages made them cheer, and when a group of artillery pushed the artillery wagons into the city, it caused a huge sensation! Even people who don't understand military affairs can see that this thing must be powerful!
The people have discussed that in the end, it is the Great Song Dynasty, the strength of the army, and the delicacy of the products, which are far from comparable to Japan.
The main hall of the Kyoto Imperial Palace is the Shishiroden Hall, and the south gate is the Kenrei Gate, which is always passed only by the emperor's car. At this time, the Jianli Gate suddenly opened, and the two sides were full of imperial palace attendants, waiting for the emperor and Cheng Yue to return to the palace together.
The Emperor of Guishan saw Cheng Yue staring at the Jianli Gate, and said with a smile: "Lord, this gate is the Jianli Gate, for hundreds of years, only the emperor and the emperor's car can pass, and the emperor does not allow it. ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Really? Thank you very much for that. The expression was very indifferent.
When the Emperor Kameyama saw this, he secretly admired it in his heart.
The two entered the Jianli Gate side by side, and the generals behind Cheng Yue also followed, and the attendants of the imperial palace saw this, and they didn't dare to stop it, so they had to pretend not to see it.
The Imperial Palace of Japan, Cheng Yue, was visited in later generations, and the Imperial Palace at this time was slightly different from later generations, with fewer palaces and different landscapes.
It was the first time for the generals to visit the Imperial Palace of Japan, and everything they saw was very novel. After hundreds of years of meticulous maintenance and construction, the architecture and arrangement of the Imperial Palace are exquisite and impressive. Wan Ze and other wives and concubines who were sitting in the carriage also liked it very much, and they kept pointing outside.
Cheng Yue was led to the Qingliang Hall first, the whole palace and the Hongwei Hall behind it and several small halls around it were all vacated, the Qingliang Hall was used by Cheng Yue's living, the Hongwei Hall was used by Cheng Yue's wife and concubine, and several small halls were left for Cheng Yue's palace maids and servants.
The Emperor of Guishan didn't dare to put up a fence outside this range, and he was afraid that Cheng Yue would run around, so he moved a lot of potted plants and faintly circled this place, and Cheng Yue could understand it at a glance.
The Emperor of Guishan stretched out his hand to invite and said with a smile: "Lord, this Qingliang Hall is a place I like very much, plus the Hongwei Hall and several small halls in the back, all of which are used by the prince at will." I also selected some maids for the prince to serve the prince's daily life, please be polite. (To be continued.) )
