Chapter 122: The Wind Rises
Just as the emperor left, Xu Chunzhi's figure also moved.
No matter what the emperor thinks now, Xu Chunzhi's heart is the same as always. Maybe there have been complaints and puzzles, but whenever this happens, he will think of Lin Yunxin's words.
"Because he is the emperor now, he was just your boss before...... Well, he is an important person who will change your whole life, but he is now the co-master of the world, and the pressure he has to bear, and the things he has to think about are far greater than before. There will be countless people with ill intentions to influence his thoughts, and although he is an emperor, he is also a human being. β
"If you are human, you will make mistakes, you will doubt, just like you are now. So, since he is such an important person to you, isn't it also your duty to be tolerant and understanding of him? No matter what he does, since you think that he has given you a new life, it is your duty and obligation to protect him. β
"What's more, he is a great monarch, and he is also worthy of our protection. Time will tell, don't worry! β
Lin Yunxin's smile when he said this often appeared in front of his eyes, Xu Chunzhi lowered his eyes slightly, and once again felt that God took too good care of him, first sent the emperor to him, pulled him out of the quagmire of fate, and then sent Lin Yunxin to his side, making his gray and cold sky full of brilliant colors.
With these two people, he thought, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were, he could move forward firmly and undiscouragedly.
After seeing Xu Chunzhi leave, Han Qiliang, the new champion, also flashed his eyes. He got up from the ground with the help of the people around him, patted the dust on his body, looked at Qin Yanqi, who was injured and got up, and pretended to be injured.
After all, it was the current leader of Long Mingwei, and if he really lost to him, it would be too ugly.
However, after this battle, the strength of Long Mingwei, the Black Yan Army, and the City Defense Army was almost touched, and the only one was Xu Chunzhi...... Is this man who claims to be invincible and invincible not worthy of his name?
At least through his observation during this time, this person is extremely low-key, and he may not be able to find his existence even if he doesn't pay attention to looking for it, such a person is not like a general who receives the cheers of thousands of people in front of people, but a bit like a secret guard or an assassin.
What a weirdo, too.
At the same time.
Imperial capital.
Life in the palace is as usual, and the officials go to the court every day as usual, but the one who sits at the top to deal with government affairs is Li Yuanhui, the eldest princess of the dynasty.
Many officials don't quite understand that the emperor is so relieved to hand over the responsibility of supervising the country to the eldest princess, especially the remnants of the previous dynasty, after all, they have never heard of any dynasty that let the eldest princess supervise the country, but it is a pity that the crown prince is established in this dynasty, and the eldest prince is still young.
Even so, in such cases, it is usually the appointment of a respected minister in the court to handle political affairs on his behalf.
However, when the eldest princess sat in charge of the court for a week, this voice completely disappeared.
There are even many people who have the feeling that if they don't look at the figure of the woman sitting above and don't hear her voice as a woman, they will mistakenly think that the emperor himself is handling government affairs.
The two sisters and brothers are exactly the same, if there is any difference, it is that the eldest princess is more gentle by three points, and the emperor is tougher by two points.
With a capable person like the eldest princess, the dynasty is naturally worry-free.
Of course, there are also some officials who show that the little marquis Mu Chengxin is not very good, and the emperor wants to take him with him. Sure enough, it's heaven's house.
There was the eldest princess in the front court, and the queen mother was naturally in the rear.
In fact, in the harem of the Daqing Dynasty, the person in charge of the harem on the surface is the queen Wang, including herself, who also thinks that in fact, it is the queen mother who really controls the overall situation.
At this point, the emperor and the eldest princess were clear in their hearts. With the Queen Mother here, the harem can't be chaotic, so I'm afraid of it...... The Queen Mother didn't want to care.
Before leaving, the emperor specially visited the queen mother and entrusted her to watch the movements in the palace during his absence from the imperial capital.
Although the Queen Mother was troublesome, she reluctantly agreed.
In this way, the eldest princess thought that at least within a month of the emperor's departure from the imperial capital, there would be no major events in the imperial capital.
Cining Palace.
"Huh? Ahhh......h
"No! Ahh - what to do? β
"Oh my God, it's turned over again, why?"
A group of palace maids gathered around the edge of a large winding rockery, watching the circulating water above flow rapidly or slowly, and the small paper boats that fluctuated on it kept swaying, and then turned over one after another.
The palace maids all looked excited and entangled, pestering the old lady in the middle who was dressed up in a fancy way, and chattering: "Why the hell?" Only the old man's boat did not capsize, and the slaves and maidservants all capsized......"
"That said, how can this be? Could it be that there is something else in the Queen Mother's boat? β
"I can't see any difference, it's strange, the boat we folded is also very delicate......"
The Queen Mother smiled and was entangled by a group of young and beautiful girls, thinking that this was life, and nodded when she heard the words: "Little four or five come to see the trick?" β
The fourth or fifth aunt approached with fresh grapes and lychees, thought for a while and smiled: "Probably the queen mother's boat has silver foil set up under it, right?" β
"Silver foil?" Several palace maids blinked, "Ah! One of them suddenly cried out, "What a cunning." β
"Poof," the other maid smiled and nodded her head, "Are you stupid?" What is this called cunning, is this called cleverness? Did we say in advance that you can't put silver foil? β
"Not really." The somewhat naΓ―ve palace maid shook her head, "But I didn't say it was okay!" β
"So, the Queen Mother is teaching us to dare to break through the limits in doing things, but they are within the rules." The palace maid smiled embarrassedly, "Really? Dowager. β
"Hmmm! There is some truth in what is said, a few dolls can also understand the truth of life by playing with origami, and there is a future! The Queen Mother praised.
There was silence all around, and suddenly burst into laughter.
The fourth and fifth aunts shook their heads with a helpless smile: "Queen Mother, it's time for the lunch break." β
"That's right, help the mourning family up. Oh, old man, I can't play......" the Queen Mother sighed.
A group of palace maids immediately said: "You are not old. β
"The Queen Mother is eternally young."
"Eat it, it's fragrant, and your body is great!"
"Okay, all good, just your mouth is sweet......" The Queen Mother is happy.
When they entered the house, the four or five aunts made a routine report, talking about the movements of the masters of each palace, who they had met and what was wrong.
The fourth and fifth aunts said: "The queen mother met with the second aunt and the third aunt of the clan today......
The Queen Mother said: "She is really not idle, she has this space to win over this and that, it is better to give birth to a few more grandchildren for the mourning family, but it is the axis of the brain, I can't listen to it and I don't know what to think, how can I be stupid." β
Four or five aunts: "When Concubine Ning was asking for peace in the queen's palace today, she had a seizure of Fu Guifei's ......"
"Concubine Fu? But the pregnant child? β
Fourth or fifth aunt: "Exactly, fortunately, the queen mother came forward to appease, but I heard that Fu Guifei also cried for a while after she went back." β
"Tsk, this Concubine Ning is not very stable...... Also, there are only two princes in the palace, and the eldest prince is also injured, so people stare at her more. There is also a Lu Zhaoyi in our palace, you should also watch more. β
Aunt Four or Five: "Yes, the slave obeys." β
"Okay, the emperor will go out for a month, if it is really a long time to mourn the family and not be annoyed to death? All day long, all these crooked chatters have not stopped. β
"Tired, sleep." The Queen Mother waved her hand.
General Xu's Mansion.
Lin Yunxin leaned on the chaise longue, ate the fruit that Xiangzhu peeled for her, counted the days and said: "It should be there in two days, and whether there is anything will be in the five days before and after." Hopefully nothing will go wrong......"
"Isn't Madam good at divination, let's do the math?" Xiangzhu Road.
Lin Yunxin shook her head: "Some things can't be overcounted, you must know that people are not as good as heaven, just do your best." β
Xiangzhu was very surprised, this is the first time that Mrs. directly refuses to divination, is it really so dangerous to go to Qinshan this time? Is Madame worried about the bad result?
Two days later.
At the foot of Mount Qin.
"I'll camp here tonight, and I'll go up the mountain early tomorrow morning." The emperor ordered.
At the same time, the generals of the Heiyan Army, Long Mingwei, and the City Defense Army all received orders from their respective commanders to go up the mountain overnight to find out the situation, and to hand over to the generals of the various armies who had come to Qinshan in advance, and once again ensure that everything was arranged in a foolproof manner, waiting for the emperor to go up the mountain tomorrow.
Along the way, Xu Chunzhi would receive reports from the scouts of the Black Yan Army every day, repeatedly confirming the layout on Qin Mountain, whether to clean up the fierce beasts in the mountain, whether to check the dark piles, whether to set up sentinel points and many other questions.
Tomorrow is the ceremony of sealing the sky, and there must be no mistakes.
Those who have the same idea as him are Yuan Huanchen and Qin Yanqi.
Yuan Huanchen is betting on the reputation of the famous general family of the Yuan family, and since the emperor chose him, he must not live up to expectations.
Qin Yanqi is even more now has everything from the emperor, if he loses the emperor's trust and appreciation, I am afraid that there will be no place for him in the army. It was Qin Yanqi's spirit of fighting 120,000 points, and he also had the intention of competing with Xu Chunzhi and Yuan Huanchen, and ordered Long Mingwei to spread the net to investigate the situation in Qinshan.
Recuperate overnight.
Early the next morning, the emperor led the crowd up the mountain with a hundred times more spirit.
Even Mu Chengxin, the little marquis who had shown poor spirits a few days ago, was in good spirits and followed up the mountain very solemnly.
After all, not everyone has the opportunity to encounter the Qinshan Heaven Sealing Ceremony once every sixty years.
After climbing the mountain on foot for nearly three hours, it was almost noon, and everyone finally reached the top of Qinshan Mountain.
Sure enough, Qinshan is indeed a towering and stable mountain, as described in the poetry of the literati, with a vast platform on the top of the mountain, leaving a large array of dynasties sealing the sky on the top of Qinshan Mountain, which is for the dragon's lair at the top.
Around it, there are eight mountain ranges, firmly rooted in the earth's surface, as if eight extremely powerful and strong branches, firmly supporting this "sky city" at a height of more than 1,000 meters.
The four sides are guarded, and the eight directions come to the court.
It is the pattern of the emperors of the world!
At this time, on the top of Qinshan, the three armies of the Daqing Dynasty were erected, and they were majestic.
The wind is blowing, the flag is waving, and it is solemn.
