The eleventh year of Wanli is the second day of the year, and in Zhu Yijun's long reign of more than 40 years, it is really not special. But what he didn't know was that because of the arrival of a person, his fate had deviated from the original track since last year.

And what the ending is, even Chen Mo, who caused this deviation, can't say clearly.

The eighth day of the first month, the day of Renxu, the last day of June and September. The folk proverb says that "the seventy-nine river opens, the eighty-nine swallows come, the ninety-nine plus one-nine, the ploughing cattle go everywhere", the street lamp market in the south of the lighting workshop has been opened, the flow of people is like weaving, the lights are brilliant, and the air is full of warmth.

The gate of the Rong government (note) on the north side of the easternmost headlamp market entrance was closed, and twenty majestic soldiers of the Shenji Battalion on the left and right of the gate stood as tall as a loose gun with fire guns in their hands, and the invisible majesty turned a large area in front of them into a vacuum.

There was a large circle of people six or seven feet away, speculating about what important people had come to the Rong government compound, and the crowd gathered more and more, making Chen Mo, who was looking out through the cracks, more and more happy.

The hot air balloon in the huge open space in the front yard was ready, Zhu Yijun was wearing a leather jacket (Note 2), a silk yarn (Note 2), and a red dress (Note 4), standing on the side of the hanging basket in high spirits, and when he saw Chen Mo coming from the gate, he asked, "How is it outside?" ”

"Everyone in the world has the heart of curiosity and conformity, long live the master is good at planning, and those brothers of the Shenji Battalion are arranged to guard at the door, and sure enough, everyone is hooked!"

This sycophant Chen Mo slapped smoothly, and Zhu Yijun smiled: "It's good to hook up, the more people, the better!" ”

"But there are too many people, and the safety of the holy car ......" Zhao Zhenyu next to Zhu Yijun looked worried, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by another old eunuch in a bullfighting suit: "General Zhao is too worried, with my three battalions of soldiers brave here, and it is a good meeting in the light market, no one dares to take advantage of the uncomfortable ......"

"What Jin Zhong said is reasonable," Zhu Yijun interjected with a smile: "Besides, I am in the sky, as long as you hold the rope every time, what is there to worry about?" ”

Chen Mo also echoed: "Yes, Brother Zhao, you are concerned about chaos, in fact, the world is peaceful, how can there be so many people who commit chaos?" He believed too much in the original memory, and he laughed at Zhao Zhenyu for worrying about the sky because he had no fear.

"What I don't want to say is that the start is imminent, General Zhao must not worry about the sky and disturb the morale of the army!" Yang Jinzhong's voice became serious. He is the commander of the three major battalions of the Shenji Battalion, the first disciple of Gao Zhong, and his status in the Gao Mansion is much higher than that of Chen Ju, just because he often sits in the Rong government, Chen Mo rarely sees it.

"What Yang Gonggong taught me is that he ...... humble position" Zhao Zhenyu was actually unconvinced, but everyone said that he was worried about the sky, and Yang Jinzhong even raised it to the height of "disturbing the morale of the army", so he could only change his words.

"Okay, okay, it's all for the sake of the saint," Chen Ju knew the relationship between Zhao Zhenyu and Chen Mo, and was happy to give him a face, make a round, and asked Yang Jinzhong: "Senior brother, this side should also be ready, right?" Seeing him nodding, he looked back at Zhu Yijun, who was eager to try: "Long live the lord, the time is almost up, are we ...... everytime?" ”

"Ready!" Zhu Yijun waved his hand vigorously, Chen You, who was a little farther away, hurriedly took a few steps forward and knelt next to the hanging basket, Zhu Yijun stepped on his body into the hanging basket, took the fire fold handed over to him, and waited for the blower to start, and the balloon floated - he flew twice in a row during the day, and he was not as excited as the first time. But thinking about the submission of all the people outside for a while, his heart was still beating as fast as a galloping horse, and his blood was boiling.

The twelve Kong warriors were already ready next to the fan, and with a wave of Chen Ju's hand, he quickly stepped on the pedal, and the strong wind whirred along the cloth tube, blowing straight to the balloon at the end.

The balloons on top of a dozen long poles soon swelled up, broke away from the poles, and shook slightly above everyone's heads.

Immediately after Zhu Yijun ignited the fire, and after waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, the hot air balloon with a huge diameter finally flew slowly and steadily towards the sky again.

"Look, what's that?"

"Ah, what kind of monster is this?"

As the hot air balloon slowly rose into the air in the light of the fire, there was a sudden loud noise outside the courtyard, and everyone was surprised.

"My great tomorrow's divine power is all over the sky, and the royal driver patrols the sky, long live long live long live!" Chen Mo fell to his knees and recited aloud the words that had been made up a long time ago. As his voice landed, nearly a thousand soldiers in the courtyard who had long been ready to attack knelt on the ground and repeated loudly: "My great tomorrow's divine power is all over the sky, and the royal driver patrols the sky, long live long live long live!" ”

Recited three times in a row, its voice is majestic and majestic, if the thunder rolls, it will be spread far away, just the hanging basket has just crossed the high wall of the Rong government, and the hanging basket wall on the chest is just enough to see Zhu Yijun's round face wearing a leather head, and the two times are confirmed, and the onlookers are suddenly boiling.

"It's the emperor, look, it's really the emperor sitting on that big basket!"

The people who have already arranged it are just right to point it again, people have no doubts, they kneel down in a hurry, and talk to themselves first, the expression of the Nine Heavens Bodhisattva Jade Emperor God was surprised and shocked, with a "Long live my emperor, long live long live, long live the Ming Dynasty, long live long live" The deliberate guidance, the crowd finally woke up and repeated, the original was still messy, and gradually returned to one place, and its sound was more than a hundred times higher than the recitation in the Shicai Courtyard, it was simply sonic and sonic in the sky, and the ground of the four or nine cities seemed to tremble a few times.

It's done! Chen Mo followed Zhao Zhenyu out of the Rong government compound with excitement, and slowly walked towards the west of the street in the direction of the rope soldiers. Along the way, everyone knelt on the ground, and the praise was louder and louder, as if there was no end.

Today, the three battalions are the main force, Zhao Zhenyu only has a group of Han generals, and he followed under the hot air balloon first, and after the men and horses of the three battalions left the house, they gradually fell behind - at such a glorious moment, he also wanted to grab some credit and save some face, but he couldn't provoke Yang Jinzhong, so he could only call in vain.

was ridiculed by others before, which made him more and more angry, and faintly resented Luo Sigong: We are not innocent, but if you don't have lust, hurt your husband, and kidnap your wife, can we be so embarrassed? couldn't help gritting his teeth and scolding for a few sentences, and began to ponder the question that had tormented him for more than ten years, whether we were Luo Sigong's son or not—it was a pity that Fang Jin didn't have a paternity test, and even his mother couldn't figure it out, how could he figure it out?

When I was bored, I suddenly heard the noise of people behind me, and hurriedly turned around, and saw that the three or four lamp stalls were on fire at the same time, and the crowd avoided them, so they suddenly gasped and rushed over, shouting at the same time: "Don't panic, quickly put out the fire, there are those who take advantage of the chaos to make trouble, there is no forgiveness!" ”

Chen Mo knew that no one else could snatch his credit no matter what, so he had been following Zhao Zhenyu ...... beside him, and he had also seen the situation here, and secretly praised Zhao Zhenyu for handling it properly, and at the same time, he suddenly heard someone in the crowd shouting: "Go to the water, disaster from the sky, go to the water, disaster from the sky" Then he saw a fire rising in the distance, and suddenly remembered the truth of the fire in Fengtian Temple that Forsythia guessed last night, and his heart trembled, it was broken, why didn't he think of it?

Note 1: Rong government, after the Gengxu change in the 28th year of Jiajing, in order to strengthen the defense of the capital, Sejong changed the 12 regiment battalions to three battalions, and the total three battalions were the Rong government, and set up a military minister as the main officer, called "Governor Jingying Rong Zheng", in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the monitoring of the ministers (imperial horse supervisors) was added, and the camp affairs were all in the middle palace.
