Chapter 532: Ascending the Dragon
In the early morning of the next day, Yang Chengzu woke up in the pile of fat powder, and a few others who knew martial arts such as his mother all dressed as men, disguised as guards, and followed Yang Chengzu into Beijing. On the one hand, if you are an immortal, you have to accompany you to live a long life and pretend to be a pregnant woman, and on the other hand, you have to stay to coordinate the overall situation.
The night before this departure naturally belongs to these left-behind women.
Thinking of this difference is that they haven't seen each other for a few months, even the most reserved Li family sisters have made an exception to join the ranks of those who have slept together. After waiting up, it was even more rare for these women not to quarrel, but silently dressed him, Li Yu'e said softly: "Husband, I don't ask you to be a marquis and pay homage, I don't ask you to fly Huang Tengda, I just ask you to be safe and sound, just pick us up as soon as possible." ”
Ruxian generously took a sip on his face, "When you arrive in Beijing, don't be blinded by those flowers and willows, remember us women at home." Even if you don't remember us, you have to remember that those little dolls are still waiting for their father. Don't go to the Teaching Division, otherwise I won't be able to spare you! ”
"Don't worry, you guys, you're all here, and no one can escape." Yang Chengzu pointed to his heart and kissed them one by one. The two people who held the fan palace were outside the door, and when they saw him come out, their faces were red. As a palace man in his early twenties, how can he not know what is a matter of men and women?
The two named Siqin Siqi are now also senior stewards in the Yang family, and they have a few shops and a lot of land in their hands, and they are still more affordable than when they were in the palace. At this point, it is unlikely that a woman wants to leave the house, and it is a matter of time before she closes the house. And the two people who listened to the corner all night were obviously a little distracted, and there were some indescribable things in their eyes.
Yang Chengzu said: "You two have kung fu and can do things, leaving you at home is to ask you to take care of my mother for me." If you do a good job, you will be rewarded when you come back. If you are lazy, even if you come out of the palace, I will never spare you. ”
"Don't worry, master, we are now the descendants of the Yang family, naturally we are following the orders of the master, and there will be nothing wrong in the family." Si Qin helped Yang Chengzu tidy up his clothes again, "As long as the master remembers, waiting for you in this house, in addition to a few aunts, there are also our sisters." ”
Outside the gate of the palace, the soldiers have been lined up, with the palace as the center, radiating outward, full of soldiers with bright armor and armed weapons. During this period, there were not only the selected soldiers of An Luwei, but also the standard camp of the governor of Huguang and the carefully selected guards in the surrounding prefectures, and the essence of the entire Huguang military health was basically gathered here.
Yang Chengzu and the guards he selected were considered guards, but they were actually far away from the Son of Heaven. Don't look at him as a guard, but in fact, he is not qualified to enter the inner circle. At the side of the Son of Heaven were the eunuchs, and then the messengers from the capital and the ministers accompanying the palace.
Among those who accompanied the driver, there was basically no one who had a meritorious name, and those who had a meritorious name were worried about taking the imperial examination and taking the right path to become an official. Those who do everything possible to get mixed into the entourage are mostly wastes in their own families, who just want to have a mixed future and eat.
Their position was between the guards and the civil eunuchs, but they all thought that this would be the case, and no one was dissatisfied. On the contrary, most people have a proud smile on their faces, and it doesn't matter where they are as long as they are qualified to drive.
Yang Chengzu looked again and found that there seemed to be a lot of luggage in the team, and many vehicles were piled up with boxes and cages of unknown origin. Before he could ask, Tietou had already come over and whispered, "Brother Yang, these are all private goods they carried. We are an escort team, and if they don't check the customs, they all bring some local products, in order to save taxes and make a fortune in Beijing. ”
"As long as there are no forbidden things, and ah, they can use the long-lived dragon power not to pay taxes, but if you dare to give us one less filial piety, you will throw things on the road for him."
"Brother Yang, don't worry, just leave these things to me."
In a solemn atmosphere, this kind of small farce, which is not very serious, but has a high stake, is also quietly going on. Yang Chengzu and these people have already been trained well, and the honor guards are as neat as swords and axes, and they are the most outstanding in the entire guard army.
On the opposite side of the wall of the guards lined up, there are sedan chairs and mounts that cannot be seen at a glance, the local civil and military forces of Anlu, and even the eunuchs and gentry, scholars and talents, all gathered outside the palace. They have their own tasks today, and they will send the prince of honor out of the feudal kingdom on foot, and kneel outside the city to see off the vassal king, even if it is a white-haired old man or a famous person, it is not immune.
However, not everyone can have this place of kneeling, and those who are qualified to kneel here are all local leaders. Whoever kneels in front, who kneels in the back, and who kneels longer, has its own rules. Just for one position, I don't know how many people will fight for it, and even turn against each other, and relatives will become enemies.
Although Zhu Houxi was ordered to enter Beijing to succeed to the throne, he did not ascend the throne after all, and he still used a full set of princely honor guards to travel. The car he rode in was not the Seven Treasures of the Son of Heaven or the Prince, but the elephant chariot that the Prince was riding.
Its shape is one foot and one foot high, and its face is seven feet and nine minutes wide, like a room that can walk. The driver was six tall white horses, snow-white, without any variegation, all of them were good horses that traveled thousands of miles every day.
With Huang Jin's support, the prince stepped into the car, but when he glanced at the car, he frowned, turned his head and said, "Where is Yang Yizheng?" ”
As soon as he shouted out, a eunuch immediately picked up an iron horn and asked the prince all the way out, Liang Chu and the others looked at that thing, and they also knew that this was one of the small objects that Yang Yi was tinkering with. However, they don't pay much attention to these things, and the only thing that attracts their attention is why Xinjun doesn't get into the car, but cares about the whereabouts of a guard.
"The minister is here." Yang Chengzu separated the crowd and trotted all the way to the elephant chariot and knelt down to salute. Liang Chu and the others watched, not knowing what the heir was going to do when he called a military attache over on such an occasion.
"Yizheng got in the car and walked with the lonely king." Zhu Houxi's face was not happy or angry, he announced his order in a calm tone, and between words, he stretched out his hand, "If there is no etiquette and a bloody battle to protect the palace, how can there be this king today?" If you don't get on the bus, how can you sit at ease? Come, don't delay, we'll go in the same car. ”
The rider shook his whip and made a pop in the air, and in the sound of drums and trumpets, the huge team left Anlu like a giant dragon with its teeth and claws, and slowly walked towards the outside of the city. Kong Zhang, a pro-people official, is actually not qualified to get close to the chariot, so he can only walk behind the team to eat ashes. Looking at the tall elephant wheel in the distance, he thought that a military minister could sit in the chariot, but he was a civil official on the right path and could only be here. I secretly said in my heart: It seems that the second Jiang Bin of the Ming Dynasty is about to appear.
