Chapter 38: The Dignity of the Son of Heaven
At this time of the morning, it was the time for the hundred officials to go to court, and in the palace at this time, except for the guards on duty, standing there and napping, there was no one else in sight, and it seemed that this huge palace was unusually dead and silent.
Song Anping walked into the palace smoothly, came to the outside of the court, and waited for the promotion to the court, but he waited for a long time, and he didn't wait for anyone to come. Just when Song Anping was a little impatient, a eunuch came to Song Anping listlessly.
"Lord Song," the eunuch said in his delicate voice, which is unique to them, "don't wait here, the emperor is here today, not going to court." ”
Song Anping knew this person, this person was serving the emperor's affairs, and the head of internal affairs, Chen Gonggong.
"The emperor hasn't been in court for three days," Song Anping saluted Gonggong Chen and said: "Today is the day of the martial arts competition, the final!" ”
"The emperor hasn't gotten up yet?" Chen Gonggong said: "As for the finals? When the emperor gets up, he will go to watch. ”
"Can you trouble Gonggong Chen and go to tell the emperor," Song Anping still pestered and said: "I have something important to do." ”
"Last night, the emperor and Lord Zhang discussed things, and they discussed it very late, so they fell asleep for a while. Can't you let the emperor have a good rest? Gonggong Chen said impatiently: "Besides, how could the emperor ascend to the dynasty just for you?" ”
"The last dynasty is discussing various affairs of the state, how can you say that it is for me?" Song Anping said in an almost pleading tone: "Please also ask my father-in-law, be sure to inform the emperor." ”
"Okay, okay, I've already said everything that needs to be said, as for you want to wait, just keep waiting," Gonggong Chen waved his hand impatiently, ignored Song Anping, and left alone.
Song Anping stood alone outside the court, waiting until the sun rose and did not see the emperor before he walked out of the palace in discouragement.
When Song Anping returned to the Song Mansion and walked into the living room, Hua Yi, Qin Pinpeng, and Ke Rong had already gotten up, and Li Lei was the only one who was still asleep on Song Anping's bed.
After Song Anping walked into the living room, several people who had been discussing in the living room came over one after another and asked Song Anping about last night's incident.
Song Anping dealt with them vaguely, ordered someone to call Li Lei up, and had a simple breakfast with everyone.
After the meal, Song Anping called Hua Yi and Qin Jinpeng aside and whispered a few words in their ears.
After Hua Yi and Qin Jinpeng listened, Hua Yi's face was still cold, and he clenched his fists to take his life. And Qin Jinpeng's expression changed obviously a few times before he reluctantly agreed, and left with Hua Yi.
"Why are you going?" Li Lei looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and asked a little unclear: "Brother Song!" What did you tell them? ”
"The two of them can't participate in the competition, I have assigned them some tasks," Song Anping walked to the side of Li Lei and Ke Rong, and instructed: "Today, just the two of you participate in the finals, you must be more cautious." ”
"Yes," Ke Rong bit his lip and nodded in agreement.
"It's not a topic," Li Lei agreed, opened his mouth and continued to ask: "What is the task?" ”
"You'll know when the time comes!" Song Anping said, patted Ke Rong on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Ke Rong, today is the day when you and Tian Xi are going to make a decision, I believe that you will be able to defeat him." ”
"Brother Song, I'm sure I won't let you down," Ke Rong said and clenched his fists, and in his mind, the two poor refugees stared at him with the kind of resentful eyes before they died.
After Song Anping said a few more words, he hurriedly went out.
"Haha," After Song Anping left, Li Lei hugged Ke Rong's shoulders and laughed: "It seems that today, there are only two of us brothers, who are in the limelight." ”
"Well, we're going to defeat them," Ke Rong said in a firm tone.
"yes, is that my good brother? Haha," Li Lei and Ke Rong laughed like this, and also rushed to the school military field.
The autumn sun has risen high, shining on the whole earth, and at this time, the school military field is already full of people, and the noise is endless.
The audience at the school military field was already full of people, and everyone was waiting for the start of the finals with great anticipation.
Compared with the school military field, there are only six participants who came to participate in the finals: Lu Yun, Li Lei, Ke Rong, Tong Lin, Tian Xi, and Jin Dazhui.
With a deafening drum sound, the Royal Forest Army holding colorful flags opened the way, and then Song Gaozong Zhao Gou took two concubines, sat in an open, gorgeous girl, and slowly walked into the school military field.
On the right-hand side is Wu Guifei, who is very respected by the court officials, and as for the bewitching woman on the emperor's left-hand side, many people don't know her.
That woman is Zhang Bangchang's righteous daughter Hexiang.
Two days ago, Zhang Bangchang accepted Hexiang as a righteous daughter and recommended it to the emperor. Because of Hexiang's outstanding appearance, as soon as he entered the palace, he was deeply favored by the emperor, so Zhang Bangchang also became a big celebrity around Gaozong.
Many people have worked diligently all their lives, and they can't see the face of the emperor, let alone get the approval of the Yellow Emperor, but Zhang Bangchang coaxed the emperor into his hands in only two days, which also has to be admired, Zhang Bangchang's clever speculative methods.
Behind Jiaozi were the civil and military officials of the imperial court, all of whom were wearing brand new official uniforms today, and followed Jiaozi into the venue.
As soon as the emperor's wife came in, the originally noisy school military field suddenly quieted down. Tens of thousands of people fell to their knees on the ground, shouting long live.
At this time, there is only one person who is different from those tens of thousands of people, and that is Lu Yun,
Lu Yun was alone, standing in place with a cold face, like a lonely tree suddenly uprooted on a plain.
"Why don't you kneel?" Song Gaozong stopped Jiaozi in front of Lu Yun, stood on the high sedan chair, and glared at Lu Yun angrily. And at this time, his momentum as a son of heaven is enough to make people's legs weak.
But Lu Yun was not interested in all this, he was like he hadn't seen anything, he was still standing there so arrogantly, ignoring Song Gaozong's arrival.
"You dare to be so rebellious," the emperor's dignity was seriously challenged, and Gaozong shouted in anger at this unreasonable fellow.
Seeing this, the officials who followed Jiaozi had already lowered their heads in anxiety, for fear that the emperor would implicate themselves in anger, and they also swept Lu Yun with the corner of their eyes, secretly cursing Lu Yun's unreasonableness and the trouble they brought to themselves.
