Chapter 104 Seven Tricks

It was not Mo Xidao who flew Wang Ding down from the second floor with a slap, but Hou Wenji. Others didn't even see clearly how he got to Wang Ding's body, how he raised his hand, and how he flew Wang Ding out of the body like a cannonball. And just when people were surprised, a shout on the street shocked everyone even more.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

For the people who are here today, the originally calm hearts have been impacted again and again.

Many of the border soldiers and diners lost their center of gravity and fell to the ground, and before they could get up, they heard these four words. Undoubtedly, it is more heart-wrenching than a thunderclap. For the first time in eleven years, Emperor Tianyou appeared in front of the people at such a close distance. Compared with his father, Yang Yi is simply low-key and embarrassing. When the emperor was in power, he liked to pay private interviews to microservices. He also often took civil and military officials to inspect various places in Chang'an, and appeared in the eyes of the people from time to time.

And Yang Yi has rarely walked out of the palace gate since he ascended the throne for eleven years.

The emperor appeared abruptly this time, and there was no large group of people accompanying him. With only a few dozen guards around him, it seems to be more simple than the ordinary nobles of large families. is known as the most low-key and mild emperor in the history of the Great Sui, and the temperament of some emperors can also be seen from this. And among these retinues, there are three people who seem to be in good standing. Although there were only these three people who followed the emperor closely, no matter which angle you looked at, they all happened to protect the emperor.

Walking on the left side of the emperor was Luo Weiran, who was dressed in a flying fish robe, and on the right was a red-robed great priest of the Taoist Sect. And following the emperor was Su Buxing, the eunuch of the imperial study.

These three people are like three walls.

These are the three that can be seen, and on the roof of Jin Kezhai opposite Keshengju, there is an old man in a light blue brocade robe, who has been standing there, his cold and arrogant gaze sweeping back and forth in the crowd on the street.

Hou Wenji slapped Wang Ding, and his body turned into an afterimage that appeared outside the door. Almost at the same time as him, Zhuo Buyi also swept down from the second floor and went out of the guest residence. The two of them stood at the door one on the left and one on the right, and bowed at the same time: "Knock to see Your Majesty!" ”

Emperor Yang Yi of the Great Sui Tianyou Emperor walked slowly to the gate of Keshengju, waved his hand and signaled Hou Wenji and Zhuo Buyi to get up, he raised his head and looked at the signboard of Keshengju and said with a smile: "The first emperor once said that the crab roe lion head in Keshengju is better than the imperial dining room in the palace. ”

The owner of Keshengju, who was kneeling at the door, was very surprised when he heard this, but he didn't dare to raise his head.

"Grass people Li An, knock on Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"

He prostrated himself vigorously to the ground.

The emperor walked up to him, bent down to help Li An up, and said, "The abruptness of my arrival has made you uncomfortable. Rise up all, for if you disturb the purity of the people, my heart will be troubled. ”

He glanced at Hou Wenji and then at Zhuo Buyi.

"Hou Wenji, why didn't anyone tell me that you were here?"

The emperor asked in a flat tone, but Hou Wenji's heart tightened violently. He secretly met with Luo Wen in Kesheng Curie, and Luo Weiran and the others didn't know about it. Even Zhuo Buyi hid it, and the only one who knew about it was Liu Duxiu, the divine eye. But even Liu Duxiu didn't know what to say, why Zhuo Buyi would suddenly appear. He didn't say hello to Zhuo Buyi when he mobilized that group of guards, and the transfer of the flying fish robe was originally within his purview.

But Zhuo Buyi came, and it seemed that he had already known what accident would happen to the Taoist Shengcurie.

"The minister and General Xiao Luo are drinking here today, just in time."

Hou Wenji lowered his head and replied, the emperor didn't ask again, and while walking into the lobby, he looked at Zhuo Buyi on the other side and asked, "Buyi, when you were about to get here, I heard Luo Weiran say, just now you used the painting ground as a prison?" ”

Zhuo Buyi nodded and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is using it." ”

"It's a pity"

The emperor said a little stunned: "It's a step too late, I wanted to see your ability to draw the ground as a prison for a long time." It's late...... It turned out to be late. ”

He shook his head and sighed lightly as he spoke, it seemed that he really regretted that he didn't see Zhuo Buyi's means.

Before the emperor entered, the people in the room were already kneeling. After entering the lobby, he looked at the mess in the room, and then looked at the kneeling border soldiers, and finally his eyes stayed on Wang Ding, who was knocked out by Hou Wenji's palm, and the emperor's face was slightly unhappy.

"Who is this man?"

He asked, pointing at Wang Ding.

Liu Duxiu, who was standing on the side, hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Back to Your Majesty, it is Wang Ding of the Jiangnan Wang family, and he is also a student recruited by the Martial Arts Academy this year. His father's name is Wang Yishan, and he used to be an official from Sipin County. This person is Wang Yishan's eldest son, and he was famous in the Jiangnan area when he was young. ”

The emperor snorted, walked to the middle of the hall, put his hands up and said: "Get up, you are all good sons who do not hesitate to throw your heads and spill blood for me, after you arrive in the imperial capital, I originally wanted to pick a day and ask the military department to invite you all to Changchun Garden, and I personally bring wine for you to thank you for your great military achievements for the country!" Since it happens to be today, then I will borrow a pot of wine from Keshengju and toast you! ”

The emperor doesn't ask about today's affairs, he only talks about the merits of the border army!

What this means is already clear.

Luo Weiran smiled slightly, and said in his heart that His Majesty was going to make a statement. Seeing that he was about to use troops against the northwest, it was impossible for His Majesty to punish the soldiers at this time. When he thought of this, he suddenly woke up, since the last session of the Martial Arts Academy recruited students, His Majesty has ordered the selection of outstanding talents from all armies to enter the examination, and now it seems that His Majesty has been preparing for the use of troops at that time. His Majesty's scheming is too terrifying.

Hou Wenji glanced at Luo Weiran, with some doubts in his eyes.

Luo Weiran just smiled and didn't speak.

……

……

The flying fish robe of the Ouchi guard cleaned up the guest house as quickly as possible, and the tables and chairs were rearranged neatly. The boss of Keshengju personally went to the back kitchen to watch, and a row of more than a dozen large stoves were all busy. None of the chefs dare to slack off, like a clockwork robot, stir-frying with spirit.

The border soldiers all sat around the table, all of them nervous.

The Emperor sat at a table in the center and beckoned to let Zhang Qi and Mo Xidao sit beside him. These two border army brigades who had never been afraid in the sea of swords and fires were trembling slightly when they sat beside the emperor. Especially Mo Xidao, who was calculated to almost kill someone and became a capital crime, but now he is sitting at the same table with the emperor, and the contrast between before and after is so great that he can't adapt to it at all.

"Your name is Mo Xidao, I know the Dao."

The emperor smiled and said: "I am very clear about the matter of Dongchu, the imperial court can't give you too rich praise on the surface, I have always felt that I owe you something, last winter I specially instructed the military department to let them write your name into the roster of students for the examination of the Martial Arts Academy, there is no need to talk about any military merits, and I have already discussed it with Dean Zhou...... You can enter the Martial Arts Academy directly without taking an exam. ”

Mo Xidao was stunned, and hurriedly stood up and took two steps back and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty!" ”

The emperor smiled and said: "I should thank you, my country, it is you who defend for me, resist foreign enemies, punish Hu Lu, cleanse the grass, and exert military might." A while ago, I also mentioned to several important ministers in the DPRK that the salary of the border soldiers would be doubled, and this matter has been handed over to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household for verification, and it should be announced to the world soon. ”

He asked Mo Xidao to be lifted up and said, "I also know that you may have a lot of resentment in your hearts. Many things in the imperial court are not satisfactory, and there may be injustice, but you should believe that I and give me time, and I will remove all the unfair things little by little, just like removing the cancer on my body. ”

"Your Majesty!"

All the border soldiers fell to their knees again and bowed in thanksgiving.

The Emperor smiled, motioned for the people to get up, and then said to them, "There are some people who have a slightly better family background, but they have no one in their eyes. There are hundreds of millions of people in the Great Sui, and such people are still a minority after all. The reason why they are arrogant is because they feel that there is a so-called famous family behind them, and someone supports them. ”

"But today"

The emperor stood up, swept his eyes over all the border troops, and said word by word: "You must remember that there is nothing to be afraid of when they have backers, and the fox and the tiger are just pretending." You also have a backer, and your backer is the most solid and solid, and that is me! This family and that family, I want to see who is bigger than the Yang family! ”

This sentence shook all directions.

The hearts of these border soldiers were burning, and the warmth made them almost want to scream!

……

……

Hou Wenji hummed softly, approached Luo Weiran and frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, it seems that what you said today is a bit excessive, if it is spread out, it will inevitably cause some people to be dissatisfied." ”

Luo Weiran pursed his lips and said: "At the beginning of His Majesty's ascension to the throne, everyone felt that he was the gentlest of the emperors of all dynasties, so it was inevitable that the big family would be domineering, but since the case of the Jiangdu Qiu family...... Who would dare to think so? The people below still don't know that His Majesty is going to use troops against the northwest, and they don't know that the sky is high and thick because they are from a declining and famous family. At this joint, how could His Majesty not speak for the military? ”

Hou Wenji shook his head and said, "I still think that Your Majesty is not taking these border troops too seriously." Speaking of which, the court still relies on important ministers and nobles. ”

Luo Weiran glanced at him and didn't answer.

Hou Wenji smiled helplessly: "You know that I don't mean to look down on the children of the poor family......

"Who can easily figure out the divine will? Have you ever calculated that the previous three emperors together did not kill as many people as His Majesty, but people still felt that His Majesty was very gentle, just that...... Who can do it? ”

Luo Weiran shook her head, not wanting to dwell on this topic. Hou Wenji snorted, looked at the incomparably moved border soldiers, and couldn't help muttering: "Perhaps, I really can't understand His Majesty's thoughts." However, a few years have passed since the Qiu family's case, and some people who remember what they eat or don't remember have forgotten what Tianwei is. Jiangnan Wangjia ...... Hehe. ”

The meaning behind his sneer was even colder. Before the emperor came, he really just wanted to stand by and watch, it was not a bad thing for him for the border army to make trouble with the children of the family, only when there was always something going on, could the Ouchi guard not appear to be idle.

And His Majesty came down, so he immediately slapped Wang Dingfan out of the air.

He has been favored for so many years because he can always make choices when it matters most.

"How many percent of your cultivation did you use to break the ground and draw a prison?"

After being silent for a while, Luo Weiran couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Hou Wenji smiled, but said in a flat tone: "Buyi didn't do his best, and I didn't do my best." But...... Maybe Bu Yi is also guessing, I used a few percent of the cultivation. ”

Luo Weiran nodded, thoughtful.

The two of them talked in a low voice, and in the distance, Zhuo Buyi ordered the two flying fish robes to carry the unconscious Fang Xie out of the guest residence, and after liberating Fang in his carriage, he sat down in the carriage and pinched Fang Jie's wrist. After a moment, Zhuo Buyi's eyes changed suddenly.

This young man's body was hot as if he was roasting on the fire. His bare skin, exposed on the outside of his clothes, took on an eerie red color, and it seemed that blood was flowing under the skin, ready to come out. And his whole body was as hard as iron, and his fingers pressed against his skin without even a single dent.

Zhuo Buyi pinched Fang Jie's wrist and intently sensed the abnormality in his body.

"Seven tricks?"

He muttered to himself, "What's going on? ”
