Chapter 354: Good News
"This ......" Hearing such a sensitive topic, Lu Heng suddenly lost his sleepiness.
After shivering, Lu Heng made a relaxed look, smiled slightly, lowered his head, but his eyes were rolling around.
Bai Gongzi is obviously not a person who is easy to fool, and when he saw this scholar showing his signature appearance, he knew that he was using his brain. Bai Gongzi stretched out his slender hand, pinched Lu Heng's chin, turned it directly, stared at Lu Heng with misty eyes, and pouted: "Don't play bad thoughts, say!" ”
"Okay!" Lu Heng couldn't escape, so he had to confide in his heart.
After forgetting Bai Gongzi's expression, Lu Heng's eyes were full of tenderness, and he said lightly: "A long, long time ago, a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam passed by Huashan and saw the statue of the Three Virgins in the temple......
"Don't be sloppy, what does it have to do with my ranking!" Bai Gongzi looked at Lu Heng angrily, quite meaning to break the casserole and ask to the end.
Lu Heng smiled, flicked it affectionately, her smooth forehead, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll talk about you soon!" ”
"Hmph, then you say!" Bai Gongzi sat up and stared at Lu Heng seriously, waiting for his answer, "When the scholar saw the statue of the Three Holy Mother, he was immediately shocked and shocked by the peerless face of the Three Holy Mother......
A long novel sprinkled with sunshine on the road in the early morning. Squeaky walking, the carriage that was gradually moving away, came the woman's excited inquiry.
"Erlang God is really bad, and then what?"
"And then!" After the sound of tea tasting sounded, the scholar's voice came again: "Then, when Liu Yanchang was dying, he told Agarwood the news of his mother......"
Along the way, the glorious story takes everyone into a psychedelic and bizarre mythological world. The bizarre world seems to dispel the blazing heat of the sun and brings a different refreshment to pedestrians.
The oncoming breeze blows by, bringing the fragrance of flowers and plants in the summer fields. The four corners of the squeaky and swaying carriage were jingling with wind chimes.
All around, those iron-blooded soldiers seemed to be fascinated by what they heard. There was no sound along the way, all of them were breathing, listening to the stories of the scholars in the car.
The red is scorching, and the heat wave is blowing.
The convoy, in this somewhat vague field, slowly moved forward.
After passing through a forest, ahead, Luoyang City was already in sight.
…… Under the Baiyun Mountain outside Luoyang City, the blue sky of the holy land of worship is cloudless.
The sun scorched the earth, and the heat wave rolled in.
The trees on the surrounding hillsides also seemed to be lifeless, and their leaves hung limply on the branches.
In the forest, the cicadas chirp constantly, and the squeaking sound makes people even more irritable.
On the open ground, all the civil and military officials in the court and the opposition gathered here. Dressed in fine clothes, he knelt on the ground and bowed to the high square platform.
Kneeling in front are the princes and royal highnesses, and behind them are the court officials of Zhengyipin, the feudal officials. In the back, it is the second, third, and fourth rank civil and military officials.
Although the officials knelt on the ground for a long time, they seemed to be very pious. But most people's eyes were secretly looking, His Royal Highness King Jin who was kneeling at the front, His Royal Highness the Prince, who had not been on the road for a long time, and King Zheng, who was still old but kneeling on the left side of the Prince.
The order of the three princes is arranged in this way, and His Majesty's thoughts are self-evident.
The ministers glanced at each other, and the expressions in their eyes had their own meanings.
From the position of the ministers, you can clearly see the expressions of the three princes. King Jin was calm, and his gaze was extremely steady. The prince was like a sifting chaff, trembling non-stop, and beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping down his face, as if he was afraid of something. And only the young King Zheng, with a red face, looked at the platform with clear and respectful eyes, a majesty kneeling on the altar.
The sun is like fire, scorching the earth.
The heat wave is rolling in and suffocating.
The squeaky cicadas in the mountains and forests have been ringing for a long time.
Raising their heads and looking at the sun that had reached the sky, the ministers raised their sleeves to wipe the sweat on their faces, and glanced at each other, full of pain and incomprehension.
Just now, after His Majesty read out the will to sacrifice to the heavens, he should have stated his merits logically. But surprisingly, His Majesty did not move again after reading out the article on the sacrifice to heaven.
Just kneeling there motionless. Occasionally, he would look back into the distance, the heavily guarded exit. It seems that something is waiting for.
Time passed like this, and the heat enveloped the land.
This kind of environment is a test for anyone.
The long kneeling for half an hour has already been unbearable for many people. He had fainted on the ground. However, those Qianniu guards who were guarding the surroundings still stuck in place as if they hadn't seen anything, motionless.
Squeak squeak...... In the mountains and forests, the cicadas chirp vigorously, echoing in the empty environment, making people even more irritable and stuffy.
The rustling sound, as if the heat was gnawing at the last breath of cool air in the air. The heat wave was rolling in, and when I looked up, it was a blurry and unclear distance.
Plop thump...... There was another third-grade member who was poisoned by heat and fainted to the ground.
The officials kneeling beside him just looked at him sympathetically and did not move.
Finally, after more than 20 people fell from the hundred officials, His Majesty, who was kneeling on the stage, finally coughed, a little nervous, and a little weakly spoke.
"I have been on the throne since I was thirty-one years old, and I have been honored by the emperor and blessed by my ancestors. He was in charge of the Great Zhou Dynasty and ruled all the people in the world. Every time he trembles, he is afraid of being out of his responsibilities and being ashamed of God and his ancestors. I have reigned for more than 30 years, and I dare not slack off every time I say that I am in my business. ……”
A self-description explains in detail the emperor's mental journey in more than 30 years of reign.
In the audience, when the officials heard the words, they sang loudly: "Long live my emperor!" ”
Next, it's time for the main event. Just like the work reports of later generations. The Emperor has to state what he has done for more than 30 years.
On the stage, the emperor hesitated for a moment and glanced back. And the entrance was still empty, and no one came.
The emperor smiled bitterly, could it be that I was too anxious?
Shaking his head and smiling, the emperor coughed, calmed down, and began to tell about his merits.
However, when it came to his own merits, the emperor was visibly hesitant.
Such a look happened to be seen by the King of Jin in the audience. He raised his head and glanced at his father, the corners of his mouth lifted up, revealing a sneer.
Merit. Haha, that's funny!
First, the Turks invaded and disturbed the border, and then there were Dongying people who rebelled, and Qingcheng Road ...... This one thing after another, in any dynasty, is a manifestation of the incompetence of the monarch.
Father, father, look at what you say in front of this civil and military official!
Turning his head and glancing at the hundred officials who were still kneeling behind him, King Jin's eyes rolled, and he was about to say something.
Suddenly...... In the distance, the sound of galloping horses' hooves broke the silence here.
Da Da Da ...... It's very fast, it's very fast.
The voices from far and near immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Baiguan hurriedly turned his head and looked towards the entrance of the Heavenly Sacred Land.
I saw that in the blurred distance, under the blazing sun, two black-armored cavalrymen were galloping towards here on horseback. The horse's hooves that tossed up wildly brought up a long wave of smoke and dust, and refused to disperse.
These people are...... In the incomprehensible gaze of the hundred officials, the galloping black-armored cavalry, driving the war horse over and over again, raised his hand high, shaking the wooden box in his hand. shouted loudly: "Good news from Goryeo!" Good news from Goryeo! ”
Goryeo Victory...... The voice was full of excitement, excitement.
On the stage, the emperor couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the two soldiers galloping on horseback.
The eyes that were extremely calm were a little moist. His lips pursed, and he muttered to himself.
Goryeo good news.
I've waited too long!
Da Zhou, I've been waiting too long!
In the surprised eyes of the courtiers, the two soldiers who galloped directly showed the gold medal in their hands. The Qianniu guard guarding the gate saw it and hurriedly opened the fence. Salute the two soldiers.
After entering the fence, the two soldiers rode their horses all the way to the bottom of the altar, and then turned over and dismounted.
In the bewildered and stunned eyes of the courtiers, the two awe-inspiring soldiers strode to the altar, holding the wooden box high in both hands, kneeling on one knee, and said to the emperor on the stage in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, good news from Goryeo!" ”
"Bring it on!" The emperor's expression was grim, and he said to the Ouchi guards guarding the stage.
"Yes!" When the Ouchi guard heard this, he replied in a deep voice.
Walking to the stage, he glanced at the two soldiers with the snow wolf badge on their shoulders with respect.
After taking the wooden box from the soldier's hand, the Ouchi guard stepped up the steps. It was handed over to Lord Si Tianjian.
"Your Majesty!" Si Tianjian held the wooden box in both hands and bowed to the emperor.
The Emperor stood up and took the wooden box from Si Tianjian's hand. After opening it with trembling hands, he glanced at it, and his eyes were suddenly full of excited tears.
In the audience, the civil and military officials saw His Majesty raise his head and take a deep breath. I was even more surprised.
In the long-term anticipation of the civil and military officials, the emperor smiled slightly and took a deep breath. looked at the bewildered officials in the audience, and said loudly: "Zhongqing, good news from Gaoli." On the second day of the fourth month of the fifth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the king of Goryeo, who was compressed by our Great Zhou army along the East China Sea, handed over the seal ribbon and signed the surrender document, officially surrendering. From now on, Goryeo will be officially included in the territory of my Great Zhou and will become a part of my Great Zhou! ”
After a short silence, the stunned officials reacted.
In the eyes of excitement and excitement, the hundred officials bowed to the ground one after another, shouting excitedly: "Long live my emperor!" ”
"Long live my emperor!"
"Long live Da Zhou!"
The sound of singing one after the other, echoing over the holy land of worship in the mountains, did not disperse for a long time.
Offstage, King Jin's heart sank after hearing the good news. raised his head and looked at his father who had infinite scenery on the stage and accepted the worship of his ministers. King Jin lowered his head, his eyes were gloomy, and his expression was uncertain!
