Chapter 62: Entering the Palace

(ps: Hello everyone, the update will be accelerated after July, and Chai Baochen's fate will also be ups and downs, more exciting!) )

"The team turned around and returned the same way", Chai Baochen asked the herald to give the order. The soldiers www.biquge.info Pen, Fun, and Pavilion were very happy to hear the news. Everyone walked back quickly.

As soon as he arrived at the city gate, the Imperial Governor of the city greeted him and asked to accept these soldiers temporarily. When Chai Baochen heard this, his face was sad. The Imperial History of the City Patrol looked at Chai Baochen's face, and hurriedly said: "Lord Chai doesn't have to be suspicious, this is the practice of entering Beijing. Now, the emperor is waiting for you! ”

Chai Baochen looked back at Yun Lin, and Yun Lin nodded. Chai Baochen called the deputy company commander and said to him: "You first follow the imperial history of the city patrol and arrange for the soldiers to stay." I'll come back to you again. ”

Seeing the soldiers marching towards the camp in a neat line, the pedestrians on the street were attracted by their imposing momentum and neat attire, and they all stopped to watch the excitement, and they were both envious and admired. Among these soldiers, there is also a person who is dressed very ordinary, and he is Yun Lin. Yun Lin was wanted by Jinyiwei, and when he returned to the capital at this time, it was better to be careful, and he must not expose his whereabouts and cause trouble.

Soon, Chai Baochen was led by a eunuch to the gate of the Forbidden City. I saw the magnificent and tall arch, which seemed to play the role of a time tunnel, bringing Chai Baochen to the emperor's side. Chai Baochen once came to Beijing and went to the Forbidden City. Know that this is a place of majesty, that it is impregnable and cannot be violated by others. In the Ming Dynasty, the Forbidden City was known as the Forbidden City. Walked through the Taihe Gate and came to the Taihe Palace, looked up, the glazed tiles were shining, the flag was waving, many Wenchen military generals shuttled between them, the left side walked the Wenchen and the right side walked the military generals.

Chai Baochen imagined in his mind the appearance of the emperor striding on the central axis of the Forbidden City: a splendid building, under the reflection of clear water and blue sky, people have infinite longing. It suddenly occurred to him that the emperor must be in a sedan chair.

"Here we are." The eunuch said suddenly. It takes a stick of incense to go all the way. Looking at this magnificent building, "It would be good when I could ride a horse in the palace," Chai Baochen thought to himself.

When I looked up, the plaque on it was written with several gilded characters of "Wenhua Palace". It turned out that the emperor was going to summon him in the Wenhua Palace. The eunuch said to Chai Baochen at the door: "You go in, don't forget to salute Banzai!" Then he sang: "Chai Baochen is here!" "I also dragged out the old long voice.

Chai Baochen walked in, he looked left and right, and thought: This Wenhua Hall is really good. Open six three-crossed, six-comb rhombic flower bucket doors, particularly elegant. There is a pair of gilded cranes on the left and right sides of the hall, standing facing each other from east to west, holding incense with their mouths, and spitting out smoke in a curling manner.

Just as he was about to look up a few times, suddenly a strange person walked next to him and coughed violently. Chai Baochen turned his head to look, and it turned out to be an old eunuch with a few white hairs, only to hear him say in a strange voice: "When you see the emperor, don't you kneel down and salute quickly!" ”

Chai Baochen hurriedly knelt down, learned the appearance of the minister kneeling in the costume drama, kowtowed, and said: "Long live my emperor, Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

"Uh-huh," came a few weird laughs in my ears. Chai Baochen scolded in his heart: "This dead eunuch, what's so funny, I won't be able to salute, master." ”

"You raise your head and take a closer look, you are kneeling in the wrong place, the emperor is over there!" The eunuch said.

Qiao Baochen looked up and saw that there was a plaque of "Zhengda Guangming" hanging in the middle of the main hall, and a young man was sitting on the throne under the plaque. It seems a little inappropriate to say that young people are still a little inappropriate, and to say that children are about the same, it looks like they are only fifteen or sixteen years old, and they are a junior high school student in his time. He hurriedly turned around on the ground and knelt down again towards the emperor, and was about to kowtow when he heard "That's it, that's it." ”

The emperor said: "You are entering the palace for the first time, and it is nothing if you don't know the rules." I came to you today, not to let you learn the rules, I want to ask you about some things. ”

Chai Baochen raised his head and looked at the emperor, and said solemnly: "Long live my emperor, long live, if the emperor has anything to ask, Weichen knows everything and says everything." ”

"Bold! How can anyone see the emperor talking like this, don't hurry up and lower your head! The eunuch shouted loudly.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that. I want to ask you, Chai Baochen, the new weapon you invented is called a grenade, how powerful is it! The emperor asked eagerly.

"Back to the emperor's words, thanks to the emperor's blessing, Weichen accidentally thought of this technology, and made a grenade, if you want to say how powerful it is, I can describe it to you." Chai Baochen said.

"Be careful, don't speak wildly, and if you talk nonsense, you will be punished for the crime of deceit." The eunuch shouted again.

"It's okay, let him say it." The emperor was very impatient. Because the emperor is now anxious to know what the grenade is. And the eunuch on the side had already interrupted him several times.

"Yes." The eunuch shouted.

"If you go back to the emperor, a grenade can usually effectively kill people within a range of three zhang, and it is killed at the same time. If you tie three or four grenades, ignite them at the same time and throw them, the power will be doubled. ”

"Oh, you're not lying! Of course it's so powerful? ”

"Go back to the emperor, if you don't believe me, I'll try to show you."

"Okay, you can show me quickly."

"Your Majesty, the soldiers and weapons I brought were taken over by the Imperial History of the City Patrol when they first entered the city, and now I don't have anything on hand, and I can't show it to you."

"That's not simple, Wang Zhen, go and pass the order to let Lord Yu Shiluo bring Chai Baochen's army over."

"Yes." Wang Zhen turned around and walked out.

It turned out that this eunuch was Wang Zhen. Chai Baochen couldn't help but turn his head and look at Wang Zhen's departing back twice.

"Slow!" A slender voice came out. Wang Zhen walked to the door and stopped.

Chai Baochen is very strange, this voice is made by a woman, how can there be a woman here? He looked up in the direction the voice was coming from. Suddenly it was discovered that there was a screen behind the emperor's throne, and a curtain hung down on the right side of the screen, and a person was sitting behind the curtain. Chai Baochen used his brain to think: "Could it be that she is the Empress Dowager, the holder of the actual power of the Ming Empire!" "That's right, I really let him guess correctly,

"Emperor," the slender voice came again, "how can you be so reckless! Wang Zhen, you only need to bring two soldiers from the Divine Machine Company. Let them come over with some grenades. ”

"Yes." Wang Zhen replied.

Chai Baochen's forehead was covered with many fine beads of sweat. It turned out that the Queen Mother had the intention of letting Chai Baochen go, fearing that what he did would be unfavorable to the emperor. You must know that the power of a grenade is so great, there are a total of 200 soldiers in the Shenji Company, they are well-trained, if they enter the palace, if Chai Baochen has different intentions, it will really cause a lot of chaos. Therefore, the Empress Dowager put a stop to the reckless and young emperor, who was no more than a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child. His social experience is still relatively shallow, although he has learned knowledge and culture from several good masters, but what he learned is the book of sages, and the imperial art was also taught to him by the Empress Dowager. Therefore, there is not much sensitivity to the taboo of royal power.

"Chai Baochen, I'll ask you," the Empress Dowager said softly, but her voice revealed a kind of majesty. Chai Baochen turned his body slightly, kowtowed in the direction of Empress Dowager Zhang, and said, "Please ask the Empress Dowager." ”

"Well, how do you know that I am the Empress Dowager, where did you know that you are a little sixth-rank official?" These few words were asked unhurriedly, but Chai Baochen felt as if a knife had just flown over his head.

Chai Baochen was suddenly choked by the question. He didn't know what would touch the royal taboo.
