Chapter 294: Fenghua enters Beijing

Because Gao Yi took away a hundred guards to escort people back to the Snow Customs, there were many fewer guards around Uncle Zheng, but the problem was not big, first, there was a Sword Saint by his side, and second, after continuing to travel west from Litian City into the Yan Realm, the security aspect was already guaranteed, and on the premise that there would be no ambush of a large number of people, there would basically be no threat to Uncle Zheng.

Smooth journey,

and before the date required by the Holy Decree,

Uncle Zheng's team,

Came to the outside of the capital.

The last time I entered Beijing, I was a personal guard by the side of Jingnanhou.

This time, as early as in Tiantai County, outside the capital, there were people from the Ministry of Rites and the forbidden army waiting early.

Generally speaking, when foreign generals return to Beijing, it is a matter for the military department.

Low-level generals, then quickly according to the date, after entering the capital, go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to report, from the moment you enter the gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, you have to smile at everyone, you can't say, you have to bring some souvenirs, otherwise others will think that you have no rules.

High-level generals, then the military department will send someone to wait for you, accompany you into Beijing, and report to the yamen together.

And once the people of the Ministry of Rites are dispatched,

That often means that you don't need to go to the military department, the kind of yamen that is treated by the old and rude, they will send someone to your mansion or find you to contact you to complete the formalities.

And you

Either go directly to the palace and face the saint,

Either that, or the ritual of preparing for entering the city.

Uncle Zheng is the latter, and this etiquette department is specially to inform Uncle Zheng that there will be a ceremony to enter the city when he enters Beijing.

The forbidden army that accompanied them was to act as a protective force, and the other was actually to act as a guard of honor.

Uncle Zheng himself had to put on the royal golden armor and the royal sword, and at the same time, the princess had to change into a gorgeous costume, and at the same time, the royal carriage was already waiting here.

Xu was afraid that the princess's jewelry would not be enough, and the people from the Ministry of Rites also brought exquisite clothes and various royal jewelry, which were originally rewards and would not be taken back.

When everything is in order,

Uncle Zheng entered the royal carriage and sat with Xiong Liqing, after all, the team still had a way to go before they reached the gate of the capital.

"Alas, in the past, Yan Guo didn't pay so much attention to it."

recalled the last time I entered Beijing, the etiquette was not so cumbersome.

In fact, the reason why the Yan people have been called Yan barbarians by the Qianren and Chu people for hundreds of years is precisely because the Yan people don't care about these red tapes.

But now that Dayan has successively hammered the Qianguo and Chu states in the past few years, and also annexed the Jin state, as the most powerful empire in the East, it has finally begun to consciously begin to pay attention to its own "decency".

Xiong Lijing said: "The strong are respected, and what the strong do is right and reasonable." In fact, the etiquette here in Dayan is not as cumbersome as my Chu country. ”

"Are you tired of wearing so many drapes on your head?"

"I'm used to it."

"Do you want to lie down and rest?"

Xiong Lijing shook her head and said, "Just sit like this, otherwise you will have to pick it up again later, troublesome." ”

Uncle Zheng nodded, leaned against the wall of the car, and closed his eyes.

"This is the second time Xiang Gong has entered Beijing, right?"

"Yes, the first time I followed Jing Nanhou, I was his personal guard, but I also came in a carriage."

When Xiong Lijing saw her husband say this, there was a clear pride in her tone.

"At that time, Xianggong had already begun to be valued by the Hou Ye."

"Sort of, at that time I was still thinking that in the future, I would also have a big carriage, next to it, with red sleeves and fragrance, and in front of me, there must be two or three kittens trembling in front of me."

"This is easy to do, Zhao Cheng."

"The minions are here."

"Come in."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Father-in-law Zhao came in bent down and knelt there.

Uncle Zheng opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Cheng, shook his head, and said:

"He's not as clever as I was at the beginning."

"Uncle, what you said is, how can a slave be compared to you, uncle."

"Let's get out."

"Yes, uncle."

Zhao Gonggong went out again.

Xiong Lijing said a little sadly: "So, it was not easy to be a husband at the beginning." ”

"When I first started to climb up, I had to be cautious, and I had to show that I was useful, and I had to please the people above, but now that I think about it, I really feel that I used to be quite powerful."

"And now?"

"Now, it's getting more and more unbearable."

"Xianggong is proud?"

Uncle Zheng shook his head and said, "If I still see everyone bowing down and making small now, then what is the point of my previous struggle?" ”

"Xianggong's words are always thought-provoking."

"Actually, I'm looking forward to the next time I go to Beijing, and it should be different from this time."

Then

Outside, the voice of the ceremonial man walking:

"Uncle, it's time to come out."

"Okay."

Zheng Fan took a deep breath, looked at the princess, and said:

"Today's process is over, it's almost over, and in the future, if you don't want to, I won't let you show up again."

"Is this true?"

"Even if it is a folk, what normal man would like his wife to go out and show up and rely on his daughter-in-law to make money to support his family?"

"But people think they can do something for you, and they're happy."

"There is always a happier way to live."

Uncle Zheng reached out and touched Xiong Liqing's chin, and then walked out of the carriage.

Jin Jia,

Pixiu,

On both sides, the forbidden army opened the way;

Behind, there are beautifully decorated carriages.

Under the city gate in front, a dense crowd of people can be seen.

After all, Litian City is the land of Jin, but in the territory of Yan Kingdom, the people of Yan Land are naturally extremely enthusiastic and excited about Uncle Hirano, after all, Uncle Hirano is the same as them, he is a Yan person.

The Marquis of Jingnan has made great achievements in the world, but the stain of self-destruction has made his reputation among the people always bad, and in turn, Pingye Bo, who was born in Qianshou and has repeatedly made military exploits, has naturally become the object of praise among the people of Yandi.

What's more, he also snatched back the princess from Chudi!

The procession marched to the gates of the city, and the people on the outskirts continued to cheer.

There are so many people that I can't count them.

But Uncle Zheng still misses the Snow Customs a little at this time, because the soldiers and civilians of the Snow Customs know how to cooperate with themselves, and everyone knows how to follow Uncle Hirano.

moreover

Perhaps he who followed Jingnanhou into Beijing at the beginning, envied Jingnanhou's elegance and independence, and fantasized about how excited he would be when he encountered a similar scene in the future;

But when I was able to stand in this position, in the face of such a scene, I was very indifferent in my heart.

What you can't get is always in turmoil, and when you really get it, that's it, because your vision, along with your status, has already risen.

Guo You, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward with a holy decree, and beside him, stood a young man wearing a python robe.

should be a prince, such a young prince;

Is it the prince?

"Your Majesty has a will."

Uncle Zheng was ready to come down to receive the order.

"Quasi-Pingye Boma on his back."

Uncle Zheng stopped his movements and arched his hand:

"Thank you, Lord Long."

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and said, the general of the Snow Customs has become the general of the country, Pingye Bo Zheng Fan, returned from meritorious service, I am very happy, my Dayan is in the pioneering world, since there is a need for Pingye Bo such a heroic hero as the country's wings, in this way, my Dayan foundation can always be evergreen.

All meritorious ministers, I, will never be stingy, and give a special guard of honor to enter Beijing, and the prince will lead the horse and announce it to the world. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Guo You, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and handed over the holy decree to Uncle Zheng, and at the same time, the fifth prince Ji Chengwen stepped forward and reached out to hold the reins around Pixiu's neck.

"Your Highness."

Ji Chengwen smiled: "This is how it should be." ”

forthwith

The team entered Beijing.

Uncle Zheng has always wanted to ask, is this the fourth highness or the fifth highness?

Uncle Zheng has seen the eldest child, the second, the third and the sixth, and the seventh is still a child, so the fourth and fifth Uncle Zheng have never seen it.

However, Uncle Zheng noticed that the other party's hand holding the reins had old ink black marks on his nails, which should be caused by common ink lines.

Uncle Zheng suddenly realized that he should be the one who likes to do carpenter's work.

The team walked on the royal road in the capital, on both sides and on both sides of the upstairs, there were people vying to watch, crowds of people, extremely lively.

When the procession marched to Yuqian Street, in front of it, a group of forbidden army armor soldiers was ready, and the leader, dressed in imperial robes, stood on the platform.

It is the crown prince Ji Chenglang.

From afar, Uncle Zheng saw the prince, and it was obvious that the prince had lost weight, and the spirit of the whole person was also very sluggish.

Obviously wearing a yellow robe that is one level higher than the rest of the princes, it gives people the feeling that his thin body can no longer support this dress.

This crown prince, in the past few years, has first experienced the destruction of his mother's family, then the marriage with the county lord was permanently shelved, and then the death of his mother, this series of blows, he can continue to stand there, it is already very amazing.

In fact, if things go well, the prince's uncle is the Marquis of Jingnan, the prince's Taishan, the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the prince himself is sitting in the East Palace, with the name of the country, so don't be too smooth.

But Uncle Zheng knew that the more likely he was to be so obedient, the less likely he was to be obedient.

After all

It is impossible for any emperor to sit back and watch the existence of an heir of this level during his reign.

To put it mildly, if it is true, with the power of the prince, he can really directly clear the monarch's side or play "Xuanwumen", anyway, the two marquis of the north and south are behind him, and the two strongest soldiers and horses of Dayan support him, and at the same time, he is still the prince of the country, and then promises a moderate policy to the hundred officials, then Emperor Yan may really become the emperor at any time.

The crown prince, standing on the crown prince, put his hands behind his back, as if he might be blown off the stage by the wind at any time, but he still said loudly:

"Your Majesty's dictation, listen to the announcement on the back of the grandfather."

Receiving the decree on horseback is a kind of honor, even in the Qianguo, it is also like this, the name of the hero enters Beijing, in order to show his courtesy, he naturally has to avoid kneeling, otherwise he will kneel all the way, and it will ruin the atmosphere too much.

Uncle Zheng arched his hand and said:

"Respectfully, St. Ann."

The crown prince clenched his fists in the direction of the palace:

"St. Bow."

forthwith

The prince faced Zheng Fan,

Road:

"Uncle Hirano is a national meritorious, and he ordered the prince to take over the car and enter the palace gate directly."

It means that let the prince lead the way for Uncle Zheng.

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen."

Next

The prince got on his horse and walked in front, and Uncle Zheng rode Pixiu and followed behind.

There is a prince leading the horse in the front, and the prince leading the horse, this honor is unprecedented.

When he entered the city, Emperor Yan said in his will that he wanted "a thousand gold city horse bones", and he did arrange it like this.

Maybe this time Uncle Hirano entered the city in terms of liveliness, not as exaggerated as the last wedding of the six princes, but the specifications are obviously higher.

In the next few years, whenever the people of the capital mentioned Uncle Hirano, they had to mention the scenery of Uncle Hirano when he entered Beijing today.

And the fifth prince, at this time, was also on the errand, and did not continue to lead the horse, but retreated to a carriage that followed behind.

In the carriage, the fourth prince was sitting there peeling peanuts and eating them, and when he saw the fifth child coming up, he said with a smile:

"Are your legs and feet okay?"

"But I'm tired to death." Lao Wu took off his boots directly.

The fourth prince waved his hand with some disgust.

"Oops, that Pixiu's snort kept spitting on my back, making my brother and me feel like I was in a steamer, and I was almost not steamed."

"Hehe, okay, anyway, you will leave Beijing with this Zheng Fan and go to Jindi soon, so it's not wrong to have a good relationship with him first."

"Fourth brother, we are the prince."

"Then you say, there is hail in the sky, if one must be stoned to death, let the father choose, who will die?"

"Wow, fourth brother, my brother knows that you are uncomfortable because you didn't get the errand of Nanwang City, but there is no need to be so blunt and sarcastic about me, right?"

"The boss is on the side of Nanwangcheng, and he has stood up again by making meritorious contributions to the cadres."

In fact, the four princes have been operating in this matter.

The seven princes of Emperor Yan, who can really know the soldiers, the eldest is one, and the fourth is actually counted, because the mother family of the fourth, the Sanshi Deng family, is a family gate valve that relies on military merits.

But the Deng family escaped the horse step gate valve, but by the river, the family heritage and reputation were burned.

The fourth prince thought that he had married the boss of the barbarian princess, and there was no chance to lead the troops to the outside world, who knew that the barbarian envoy suddenly lowered his status, and at the same time, the sixth man operated up and down, and finally the boss made a gesture of death on the pillar in the court hall if he did not let his leader serve the country, and he really took the errand of Nanwangcheng from his own hands.

"Is it our eldest brother in the end, hehe, I said, fourth brother, listen to my brother's persuasion, let's not think about those who have or don't now, hurry up and seize the opportunity to sell to Xiaoliu, in the end, it is my own brother, break the bones and connect the tendons."

The fourth prince's face was gloomy.

Some words,

He couldn't say,

Because when the third child calculated Zheng Fan, he actually contributed to the trouble behind the scenes, and finally made the third child completely collapse.

The fourth prince didn't know if Zheng Fan knew about this matter.

Lao Wu continued while rubbing his feet:

"Huh, anyway, my brother I want to open, this position, it's not easy to fight, I don't want to fight, although the Ministry of Industry is hard, but my brother I finally have something to do, it's better to go outside and see the world than to be imprisoned in this capital all the time."

"You can see it." The fourth prince was very casually perfunctory, "But Xiaoliu, can you let us go?" ”

"What if you can put it down, what if you can't let it go? The second child at least still occupies a place in the East Palace, don't look at it so depressed now, the country seems to be in turmoil, but the second child at least has a chance.

Xiao Liu, not to mention, the boss is already standing behind him.

What else can we do? ”

"Fourth brother, I don't accept it."

"I'm not convinced, I'm holding it."

The fourth prince put his boots back on and continued: "Why don't you change your python robe, maybe my father will hold a banquet later." ”

"I brought it, it was too hot, I was sweating when I wore it, and I will wear it later."

"By the way, don't just eat peanuts, what about the vegetables I asked you to bring?"

"Later, my father will have a banquet, we will sit with you, what do you want me to bring food?"

"You didn't bring it?"

"Forget."

"You...... Alas, Zheng Fan and we are the same generation, when we go to the banquet, my father will inevitably use Zheng Fan to beat us, saying how we have no interest and no desire to make progress or something, when the time comes, we only care about kowtowing and asking for sin, how can we take care of eating? ”

"yes, I'm going to send someone to buy some food."

……

Uncle Zheng's team came to the gate of the palace.

The team stopped at this point.

The white-haired Dazong was standing in front of the palace gate, holding the holy decree in his hand.

The prince turned his head, looked at Uncle Zheng, and said:

"This is a princess canonization."

This was the first thing the prince said to Uncle Zheng along the way.

canonized princess, she can't be an official, but should be Zongzheng, that is, the patriarch of the Ji family.

More than 800 years ago, the Marquis of Yan and the Marquis of Chu were all courtiers of the Great Summer Prince, and they were ordered to open the border, and now although the two countries were still at war not long ago, this is like two neighbors, and the adults are fighting each other, so they will not be angry with a child who comes to your house to play, which is too embarrassing.

Therefore, letting Dazong Zheng come to announce the canonization represents a family relationship between the Ji family and the Xiong family.

"Xiong Liqing, the princess of Chu State, took the order."

Xiong Lijing walked out of the carriage, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and slowly knelt on the ground.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict ............"

For the princess to come to the Yan Kingdom, the holy decree is full of praise, and the princess is not treated as a prisoner or a show-off, which is atmospheric, and the Yan Emperor is not lacking.

Being happy is naturally happy, after all, this is a long-faced thing, but when doing things, you must also have a pattern.

"Therefore, I will give Xiong Liqing as my princess of Dayan Zhaode, fief Cangxian County, build a princess's mansion, and admire this."

Princess Zhaode, with a good name, is much better than what "Princess Guiyi" and the like.

Of course, what attracted Uncle Zheng's attention even more was the princess's fiefdom, Cangxian, this place was very poor, very broken, and almost had no population.

Because Cangxian County is just south of the Snow Customs, it is the closest county seat to the Snow Customs, which originally belonged to Chengguo.

Emperor Yan chose the princess's fief in Cangxian, in fact, he gave Cangxian to Uncle Zheng, who was the princess's husband, in disguise.

It can be regarded as handing over the local governance rights of the Snow Customs to Zheng Fan.

"Minister, thank you Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Xiong Lijing took the order.

Dazong said kindly:

"Girl, get up."

forthwith

Dazong Zheng looked at Zheng Fan,

From the hand of the attendant, he received another holy decree:

"The general soldier of the Great Yanxue Customs and the general of Chengguo, Hirano Bo Zheng Fan received the order."

This time, I didn't let you not get off the horse, so Uncle Zheng still knelt down to accept the order.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says, I will marry today, Princess Zhaode will marry Pingye Bo Zheng Fan, Wanger and others will respect each other like guests, and they will be together for a hundred years."

It's a process.

Although Uncle Zheng hasn't done anything yet,

But in the eyes of outsiders,

Uncle Zheng and the princess should have done what they should have done.

However, the princess has just been enshrined in Dayan, so she naturally has to go through the identification again, make up the procedures, and marry Uncle Hirano.

meantime

This also means that Uncle Zheng's old name has to be added with another prefix:

Zheng Fan, the chief soldier of the Great Yanxue Customs and the general of the Chengguo and the uncle of the Great Yan Horse Plain.

Zheng Fan felt that no matter how hard he worked, he could catch up with Long Ma.

"Minister, thank you, Lord Longen."

And here, when the decree is announced,

Over there

At the back of the line,

Wei Zhonghe took the initiative to walk into Uncle Zheng's team and came to the white cloth.

"I've seen Lord Sword Saint, and I invite you to come with your miscellaneous family, and you will have your own hospitality."

In fact, only Zheng Fan and Xiong Liqing will be able to enter the palace later, and everyone else will be placed.

But Juggernaut is different from others, not only can he not be placed casually, but he also has to be watched by a special person.

This is the right thing to do, and the Juggernaut didn't refuse.

Who called,

Does he still have a history of killing kings?

After Zheng Fan and Xiong Liqing both received the order and got up, Dazong Zheng got out of the way and said:

"Enter the palace, Your Majesty is waiting for you."

And at this time,

At the gate of the palace, Ji Chengjue's figure appeared there, and behind him, there were two horses, and in his hands, he also held the will.

Dazong Zheng smiled and said: "It should be the will of riding a horse in the quasi-palace." ”

Uncle Zheng smiled at Dazongzheng, and then, taking Xiong Liqing's hand, walked inside, at this time, the prince, Dazongzheng and other officials and eunuchs outside the palace gate were also ready to enter the palace together.

At the same time, the big guys are also ready to take over the will of today's last quasi-palace horseback ride, and they are all ready to kneel down after a few more steps.

Who knew that Ji Chengjue was holding his will like this, and he didn't spread it out, and when Uncle Zheng led the princess to him, Ji Chengjue still didn't rush to announce the will.

Just when the big guys are a little confused,

Ji Chengjue looked at Zheng Fan,

Spit out two extremely crisp words;

forthwith

Uncle Zheng also looked at the six princes and replied with two equally crisp words,

For a while, inside and outside the palace gate, everyone was stunned.

"Brute."

"Slut."
