Chapter 186: Father and Son Meet and Don't Know Each Other
Luoyang Imperial Palace, Yang insisted that after the emperor established the Great Sui, it was named Ziwei Palace, and Yang Guangqian changed the name of the country to Tang, and Ziwei Palace was also renamed Luoyang Palace.
Today's Luoyang Palace is located in the north of the imperial city, the imperial city surrounds it, there is a clamp city in the west, there is an east city in the east, there is a round wall in the north, the important city of Yaoyi, the whole palace city falls into the north of the imperial city, and the guard is strong,
The palaces in the imperial city confront each other, the buildings stand in a forest, the order is orderly, the staggered and orderly, the whole palace city is carved and embroidered pavilion, the gold is splendid, showing the richness and luxury,
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Yang Rui ordered, in the imperial city to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival song and dance ceremony with the people, in addition to the gathering of hundreds of officials, there are also a small number of people are allowed to enter the imperial city to watch, in order to highlight the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the victory of quelling the rebellion,
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the people of the Tang Dynasty, but the people who were allowed to enter the imperial city must have lived in Luoyang for many years, and they have already been checked by the shadow guards for eight generations of their ancestors, and they were invited only after making sure that there were no problems.
In order to ensure the safety of the palace, the grand ceremony was arranged in the south of the imperial city, and the range of activities of those present was restricted, and the surrounding area was also covered with Yulin Army, anyone who dared to walk away from the circle at will would be killed on the spot,
The southern part of the imperial city has already set up a tent seat, the huge stage is located in the southernmost part, followed by the place where the singing and dancing artists are waiting for the field, the stage is also covered with soldiers wearing armor, and the north is a luxurious and elegant high platform, the large carved dragon soft couch is located in the middle, which is the throne of the emperor Yang Rui, and a slightly smaller carved phoenix soft couch, which belongs to the queen mother,
On both sides of these two soft couches, there are more than a dozen chairs each, in addition to the harem concubines, which are prepared by those high-ranking and powerful ministers who are highly valued by Yang Rui.
The grand ceremony has not yet begun, the singing and dancing artists who were called to the palace to perform are preparing backstage, and the stage is already full of ordinary people who have entered the palace to watch, and some officials have also entered the palace early with their families, sitting on the seats on both sides and talking to each other.
But the stands are still empty, and the heavyweights are naturally the last to play.
The full moon hangs high, the south of the imperial city is a lively and joyful scene, the silver moonlight and the bright lights are set off, and the light here is as bright as day.
What kind of happy scene is here, it has nothing to do with Yang Ping'an, at this moment he has successfully infiltrated the imperial city, and is carefully groping all the way to the north, towards the palace in the north.
Xie Aman still helped him a lot, in addition to bringing him into the palace, he also helped him get out of the eyes of Yulin Jun smoothly, and gave him a map of the imperial city two days ago.
This map is marked with extreme standards, up to the Tianmen, Shenlongmen, Wufeng Tower, Ziwei Temple, Qianyuan Palace, Yaoguang Palace, Shangyang Palace and other important city gates, pavilions and palaces, until the size of the path, arches, etc. are clearly marked.
Shocked in his heart, Yang Ping'an imprinted the map into his mind, recognized the direction of the harem, carefully avoided the patrol generals all the way, and carefully groped forward with the help of the night.
I have to say that the grandeur of Luoyang Palace made him breathtaking,
Red wall and yellow tile, cornices row corners, carved beams and painted buildings, through the flower mullion window, it is really a miraculous magic axe, the light is bizarre, brilliant golden, majestic and magnificent, the golden pillar of the coiling dragon appears from time to time, there are a lot of gilt casting flying dragons, colorful phoenixes, unicorns, lions on the platforms everywhere, so that the whole Luoyang Palace presents a majestic and magnificent scene,
Seeing that he was about to come to the gate of Luoyang Palace, Yang Ping'an felt that his luck was not bad tonight, and he didn't encounter any trouble along the way.
However, he was not complacent, on the contrary, he was faintly uneasy, especially when he entered the imperial city, those guards did not search his body, and the inspection of the props and musical instruments that Youling carried with him was also perfunctory.
How could the palace be so laxly guarded,
The emperor and his concubines live in Luoyang Palace, and the guards of Luoyang Palace are definitely the tightest places in the world, this Luoyang Palace, how should I get in, or will I wait here and wait for Su Min to come out,
Yang Ping'an kept thinking in his heart, but when he came to the gate of Luoyang Palace, he found that the door was empty, and there was no soldier guarding the door.
Nima, this lucky unscientific thing,
I touched a small pebble and threw it over, there was a crackling sound, and there was still no one at the palace gate.
It's strange, Yang Ping'an scratched his head, threw another stone, lost three pieces in a row, and no one appeared near the palace gate, which made Yang Ping'an feel very nervous.
After thinking about it again and again, he finally decided to take a risk, put his feet lightly against the wall, came to the door with the cat's waist, poked his head out a little and looked in, but found that there was no one in the door, even the palace maid and eunuch were gone,
empty city plan,
This was Yang Ping'an's first reaction, but he was soon denied by himself.
Taking a deep breath, he quickly flashed into the door, dodging the hanging lanterns, and was not in the dark flowerbed grass, thinking about how to find the palace where Su Min lived,
The map Xie Aman gave him, although it marked all parts of the palace in detail, did not indicate where Su Guifei lived, originally he wanted to sneak into the palace, casually capture a eunuch and palace maid, and ask from the other party's mouth, but now in his sight, there is not even a figure, ask him to ask whom,
There was no way, he could only look for it one by one, but he had not gone far inside, and he heard footsteps and talking, and he finally saw people, but still had no chance, because those palace maids and eunuchs were all in groups of three or two, busy and busy, and there was no one left alone.
Be careful to avoid the eunuchs and palace maids who come and go, Yang Ping'an walked deeper and deeper, and the scenery in the palace was much more beautiful than in the imperial city, but it was a pity that he was not in the mood to appreciate it.
Through the corridor through the pavilion, stop and go, unconsciously came to a palace, the palace gate is still unguarded, and the palace gate is half-hidden, and the sound of footsteps is heard not far away, Yang Ping'an got into the palace on one side,
When I came to a side room with carved beams and paintings, I suddenly heard the cry of a baby and the anxious voice of a middle-aged woman inside: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you, didn't you just now, why did you cry all of a sudden, are you hungry?" ”
Speaking of this, there was a sound of rustling in the room, like the sound of undressing, and after a while, the middle-aged woman's anxious voice rose again: "Your Highness, why don't you eat, oops, this is bad, will His Royal Highness the prince be sick." ”
The baby's cry became louder, and there was a sound of rustling in the room again, and the middle-aged woman shouted loudly: "Come on, go and inform Niangniang, Your Highness may be sick." ”
Yang Ping'an originally wanted to ask Su Min's whereabouts from the middle-aged woman in the room, but when he heard the other party shouting, he pulled his legs and left, knowing that he had just come to the door, the door was suddenly opened, and a woman in palace clothes who still had charm walked out and collided with Yang Ping'an.
"Ah, who are you?" The woman in the palace dress was disheveled on her chest, and she was holding a month-old baby in her arms, and the baby was crying,
Seeing Yang Ping'an suddenly, the woman in the palace costume was startled, her hands trembled, and the baby in her arms fell down.
"Be careful." Fortunately, Yang Ping'an's eyes were quick, and he caught the baby with both hands, and it was strange to say that when he held the baby in his arms, the baby who was crying no matter how he coaxed him stopped crying.
Not only did he not cry, but opened his eyes and looked at Yang Ping'an, giggled twice, and then stretched out two fleshy little hands, babbling in his mouth, as if he wanted Yang Ping'an to hug him.
The little face is flushed, the dark and bright eyes are constantly flickering, the skin is tender as if it can pinch out the water, and the pink carving is generally cute,
For some reason, Yang Ping'an suddenly had a sense of intimacy in his heart, and gently held it in his arms and shook it slightly, making the baby giggle, and he also had a sense of ease and joy in his heart.
"Who are you, return Your Highness to me quickly." Only then did the middle-aged woman in palace clothes react, and recognized that Yang Ping'an was not dressed as a person in the palace, and was shocked in her heart, "Come on, come on, someone is coming, there is an assassin who has snatched the eldest prince." ”
She screamed and jumped out of Yang Ping'an, especially the sound of hurried footsteps not far away, which made Yang Ping'an reluctantly stuff the baby into the woman's arms: "You take care of him, don't scare him anymore." ”
After saying this, Yang Ping'an turned around and ran towards the door, the woman in the palace costume hugged the baby tightly and didn't dare to chase after her, but shouted loudly that there was an assassin,
Soon, a guard came and asked Yang Ping'an about his appearance and the direction of escape, and immediately chased after him.
After a while, there was a white and chubby middle-aged eunuch, with many fierce guards dared to come over, heard that the prince was almost injured by the assassin and was furious, and scolded the guards behind him, at this time, another guard came to report, saying that in many places in the palace, such as rockeries and flowers, a lot of corpses were found, and these corpses had eunuchs, palace maids and guards, all of which were killed with a knife.
The white fat middle-aged eunuch was furious, and immediately ordered the palace gate to be sealed and strictly investigated, and the assassin must be found.
If Yang Ping'an saw this white and fat middle-aged eunuch, he would definitely be able to recognize that this person was his old acquaintance, Gao Lishi,
It's just that Yang Ping'an's pace doesn't dare to slow down at all now, he is running around and around, Rao is so also chased closer and closer by those guards, you must know that most of the guards guarding the palace are dragon guards, and there are few bad kung fu,
Seeing that he was about to be overtaken, Yang Ping'an suddenly saw a window open not far away, he did not hesitate to turn over and jump in, and then carefully closed the window,
In just a few breaths, more than twenty guards chased after him,
"Hey, I saw that kid here just now, why did he disappear in a blink of an eye, can he still go to heaven and earth."
"Even if he can go to heaven and earth, we have to find him out, if he is allowed to escape, our Long Wei will be embarrassed, and it will be a dereliction of duty, how can we be worthy of Your Majesty's trust."
"Okay, you surround this place, no one is allowed to come and go at will, and the others follow me, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they will talk about that bastard digging out."
Soon the neighborhood was searched, even the nearby pavilions and pavilions were not spared, only the room in front of him was left, several guards looked at each other, one of them came to the door, and asked respectfully, "I don't know if the young lady is in the room." ”
