Chapter 115: A Serious King of Shonan
"Not to mention the sword, there are very few people in this palace who can ride horses and gallop in this palace, except for the messenger who delivers urgent signals, and the white commander is one of these few. After all, he is the commander of the forbidden army, and he has won the trust of His Majesty, so it is naturally different. ”
"That's right."
I pouted and sat back in the carriage.
After crossing the 100-meter city defense road inside the palace gate, the groom drove the carriage to a stop in a post house.
I pulled Xiao Lori and followed Qian Kun out of the carriage, and the white commander had already left the post house and rushed to nowhere. Although it has nothing to do with me, I yearn for the majestic figure of this white commander. His daughter, the "Silver Spear Overlord" Bai He, who fought against me yesterday, does have a bit of her father's demeanor.
Walking to the main hall, Qian Kun met two colleagues and greeted each other politely, and I took Xiao Lori to follow Qian Kun to the court, which naturally became the focus of their courtiers.
An old-fashioned old man asked Lao Qian: "Qian Junhou, why did you bring a young man and a child to the palace today?" ”
Qian Kun waved his hand and said: "This is a secret, you will naturally know it when you get to the court." ”
"Oh?"
The two officials couldn't help but look back at me and Lori twice.
The palace was majestic, and it took a quarter of an hour to walk to the "Fengtian Hall" where the king of Shonan was met.
Qian Kun explained to the guards outside the palace, and asked me to stay outside the palace and wait for the edict, so he entered the palace with other officials. Other court officials came to the court one after another, and when they passed through the palace gate, they all looked at me and Xiao Lori a few more times, but no one asked us about our identity while being curious, and it was not uncommon in the court to wait for the edict.
After a while, a eunuch shouted that the court was opened, and there was an orderly voice from time to time in the silence of the hall, and I imagined that the scene of everyone shouting in unison "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live" did not appear.
The waiting time was very boring, I squatted outside with the little Lori for a long time, and got up and walked a few laps not far away, when I was really bored, I wanted to play with the little Lori and jump the class, but I was stopped by a few guards outside the hall in a low voice.
Anyway, I'm also the prince of Shonan......
and Xiao Lori obediently stood outside the hall and waited for a while, annoyed that Qian Kun was grinding, why didn't he tell His Majesty about me for so long.
Suddenly, I heard that the temple had become noisy, and soon it was quiet again. When I was curious to peek inside, I only heard a eunuch in the hall shouting loudly, "Xuan-Wang Yi-".
When it was finally my turn, I immediately pulled little Lori to stand up.
Another eunuch waiting outside the palace asked me, "Are you Wang Yi?" ”
"It's me!"
"Come on in."
He flicked his hair and motioned for me to follow him.
I took little Lori and followed him into the Fengtian Palace, and saw the brilliant golden walls in the hall, which was comparable to the Chaoyang Hall of my Qingxuan Taoist Sect.
Walking straight in, the civil and military officials in the hall all looked at me in surprise, Qian Kun came out of the two rows of courtiers, and stood in the middle of the hall facing the person on the dragon chair.
I looked up at the man, and saw that he was wearing a golden robe and dragon crown, a middle-aged man in his forties, with no expression on his face, but on the outside of the emperor's aura, with a bearing that made people surrender without words. The appearance is indeed as heroic as Qian Kun said, no wonder Lao Qian was sure that I was not a prince when he saw my appearance yesterday, and now even I doubt that I was born by the prince next door.
On both sides of the dragon chair, there was Bai Keng, the commander of the forbidden army that he had just seen, and a eunuch who seemed to have a very high status. And the eunuch who led me and Xiao Lori in retreated outside the hall after taking me to Qian Kun's side.
Qian Kun and I glanced at each other, and then arched his hand to the king of Xiangnan and said: "Contemptible Wang Yi, who has lived in the mountains for a long time and cultivates immortals, I don't know the etiquette of the court, please forgive your majesty!" ”
The silence in the hall made me a little nervous.
I still arched my hand and quietly asked Qian Kun next to me: "I didn't make a mistake, I shouldn't have accidentally done anything ridiculous and generous, right?" ”
Qian Kun also replied quietly: "No, it's good." ”
The king of Shonan kept staring at my face from beginning to end, and after a moment of silence, he took the edict from the eunuch next to him to return to Shonan, and asked me slowly: "This letter, you received it in the Qingxuan Dao Sect and brought it back?" ”
"When Master heard that I was coming back, he handed me this letter as a token."
"Hmm......"
The king of Xiangnan handed the edict to the eunuch next to him and asked me: "Qian Junhou said that you are the real prince, is this serious?" ”
"There is no other prince in this world than me, the second great prince of Shonan."
"The edict can be stolen, robbed, or even faked, in addition to this edict, what evidence do you have to prove your identity?"
"Yes!"
I calmly said to the king of Shonan: "I still have a vague memory of my childhood memories before I was sent to the Qingxuan Dao Sect. ”
"Oh?"
The king of Shonan became a little interested and asked, "Then what do you remember when you come and listen?" ”
I said loudly: "When I was five years old, I seemed to have been punished by my mother for peeking at the palace maid taking a bath. ”
As soon as this matter was said, there was a low laugh in the hall, and only the king of Xiangnan still looked serious and said in disbelief: "I have no impression of this matter, and now I can't confirm it with the queen, do you remember other things besides." ”
I looked at King Shonan hesitantly, and said a little timidly: "There is another thing that I remember deeply, but if I say it, I am afraid that Your Majesty will be angry." ”
King Shonan: "You just have to say it bluntly, whether you are angry or not is my business." ”
I pretended to hesitate, and said timidly: "That's right, one night, when I was passing by a dormitory, I heard a cry of pain from someone in the palace, so I secretly opened the door and took a look, and saw my father being whipped by the queen mother, and he had a happy expression......
His eyes widened and he took a sharp breath.
There was a low uproar in the hall, and even Qian Kun looked at King Xiangnan in disbelief.
King Shonan raised his trembling hand, pointed at me and shouted angrily: "Nonsense! How could I be whipped by the queen, and, still, with a ...... face?"
I said sincerely: "I remember this incident clearly, because my father's expression at that time was so ecstatic that I remember it very deeply!" ”
The expressions of the courtiers in the hall became richer.
The king of Xiangnan slapped the dragon chair and shouted angrily: "Shut up!" Come on, drag him out and behead him! ”
"Yes!" ”
The guards of the temple walked briskly towards me with spears.
I was so frightened that my legs went limp, and just when the guards were about to hold me down, I quickly knelt down and shouted: "Shut up, I'm talking nonsense, I just made up everything I just said, there is no such thing at all, I definitely remembered it wrong!" ”
"Slow!"
The king of Shonan raised his hand and shouted, telling the guards who had pressed me to the ground to stop.
He hesitated with difficulty, looked like a haggard teenager, and waved his hand to get the guards to pull back. After taking two deep breaths, he looked at me with a straight face and said, "I, be tolerant and generous, forget it this time, you are not allowed to talk nonsense here again!" ”
Does it mean that it can be said in private?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"
Little Lori supported me and helped me get back up with my legs shaking.
Although this has passed, the courtiers have a tacit understanding of each other.
Qian Kun on the side breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at me with a little more blame, because if I was executed, he, the person who called me the eldest prince, would never be happy.
Fortunately, the king of Shonan is not the kind of tyrant who kills people if he is unhappy, and even tolerates such things when I say them, it seems that he believes me, but everyone tacitly agrees.
Suddenly, the king of Xiangnan looked at the courtiers and asked, "Yuyi, do you have anything you want to say about what this person said?" ”
Yu Yi, isn't this calling me?
I followed the gaze of the king of Shonan, and saw a beautiful man standing in the row of courtiers who was dressed completely different from other officials, young and heroic, and quite a fairy man.
Immediately I understood, it was this dog day who was impersonating me!
We looked at each other, and I was furious, and the fake smiled elegantly and walked out of the courtiers.
Indeed, whether it is his appearance and demeanor, he is very close to people's imagination of Xianxia, he is simply a beautiful man who came out of the picture scroll, no wonder people believe that he is the eldest prince from the Qingxuan Taoist Sect. In fact, the Qingxuan Dao Sect is such a filthy pool, even if it really produces such an immortal person, there will only be a sinister hypocrite like the senior brother.
After I ventured to tell the old story just now, the king of Shonan should have understood who the real prince was, and asking him to come out to testify was just a show. After all, it would be impossible for King Shonan to admit that the memory I just said was the truth. I'm afraid that the fakes also understand their situation at this time, and no matter how much they justify, it is useless.
The fake man stood beside me, bowed to the king of Shonan, and said unhurriedly: "Of course, the son is the child of my father, and this person who is pretending to be me must have bad intentions and want to murder my father." ”
I "hehe" on the side and shot him with a disdainful gaze.
The king of Shonan asked indifferently: "But he does have an edict in his hand, what do you think about it?" ”
He smiled bitterly: "Naturally, it's fake. ”
King Xiangnan said: "But his edict, even the head of Gao can't tell the truth from the fake." He pointed to the old eunuch beside him.
The fake thought for a moment, and then said: "If my father can't identify which of us is the real prince, the son has a plan to offer." ”
The other courtiers who couldn't tell who was the prince didn't care about it, Qian Kun and I, as well as the king of Xiangnan, all stared at this fake suspiciously, and I was really curious what tricks he could come up with.
King Shonan: "Say." ”
Fake: "The real Great Prince, a disciple who has been sent to the Qing Xuan Dao Sect to practice since he was a child, his swordsmanship and exercises are naturally beyond mortals, he only needs to let me have a competition with him, and the time when the winner is determined is the time when our true or false will be revealed." ”
I immediately clapped my hands and applauded: "Heads-up? This is good! I was about to beat you up, but I was embarrassed to bring it up here, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to send you to death! ”
The king of Shonan shouted to me, "Above the court, pay attention to proportion." ”
"Oh......"
The fake man and animal looked at me harmlessly, but his eyes seemed to be full of disdain for me, and he always felt that his plot was not so simple.
Why, does he really have the strength to go head-to-head with me, the champion of the fencing competition?
