Chapter 24: Becoming a king and defeating a coward, the national teacher of Dayue
Resplendent gold, red walls and gold bricks, every inch of land shows a solemn and luxurious momentum, and it is prosperous under the thick ink and color. Carved beams and painted buildings, jade stacks, palace people in an orderly shuttle between the palace walls.
A dark blue carriage stopped outside the palace wall, and a wooden carving that looked like an eagle but not an eagle in the corner of the eaves was about to fly, accompanied by the soft sound of the horseman, and the sound of the horse's hooves slowed down step by step, and finally stopped in front of a row of guards.
The two guards standing by the wall immediately stepped forward, and before they could get closer, they saw the curtain of the carriage opened, and three men of very different styles stood beside the carriage.
"General Qi, Mr. Lin, Xiang Gongzi." The guard leaned over slightly and saluted the three of them, all of whom were also influential figures in Dayue, but his eyes did not have much respect when they swept over Xiang Yu.
Qi Yuanchu replaced the old general Qi in the year of the double tenth and the crown, and swept thousands of troops with a red tassel spear; Lin Chen is the young master of the Heavenly Sect, and he was originally a native of the rivers and lakes, but because of some agreements between the Heavenly Sect and Da Yue, he entered the court and was clever and resourceful.
Xiang Yu has long been well-known in Fengyang (the capital of Dayue Kingdom), but he had a bad reputation before, but he was the fourth concubine of the prime minister of Yipin, a gentleman who did not learn and did not know how to do it, and this time he was able to serve because of his relationship with Lin Chen's best friend.
"What happened to the Qin family?" Qi Yuanchu hurriedly asked, a pair of tiger eyes were not angry, and let the guard's feet retreat slightly.
"General Qi, it's okay, and now he's living in Wenxuan Pavilion." The guard stabilized his mind a little, suppressed the worship in his eyes, and then replied, "Yue Jun is already in the imperial study, General Qi should go quickly." ”
Qi Yuanchu's thick arm slapped heavily on the guard's shoulder, beckoning the two behind him to go to the palace, but he heard a lazy voice, "My identity will not go with you, he will meet again in the future." ”
Qi Yuanchu turned his head and looked at Xiang Yu, who had stood beside the carriage since he got out of the carriage without taking a step, and said without refuting: "You are going out with us, so naturally you have to report the situation to Yue Jun."
"I have never been separated from you, so why say it again, go by yourselves." Xiang Yu pulled out the fan he pinned to his waist again, and was about to get into the car again while shaking it, but was blocked by the strong wind from Qi Yuanchu.
The groom was closer, the reins in his hand came out of his hand and fell to the ground, and the guards standing in two rows also tried to stabilize their bodies, and their faces turned a little pale.
"Yue Jun said, you have to report to him too." Qi Yuanchu stared at Xiang Yu seriously, his gaze was like a torch, making it impossible to refute.
Lin Chen also spoke: "You just stand for a while, this is Yue Jun's order, you can't disobey it."
Xiang Yu's narrow eyes stared at Lin Chen, many times he felt that Lin Chen was more like a person in the court than him, and he could calculate and understand the rules. Xiang Yu looked at Lin Chen quietly, there was no trace of waves in his eyes, the whole space seemed to be frozen, and no one spoke anymore.
Even Qi Yuanchu also put away his momentum and walked to the guards' side, as if he was communicating something with them.
Xiang Yu groaned for a long time, clapped his hand on Lin Chen's shoulder, and raised his pace, "Let's go, I will accompany you." ”
Da Yue's palace is very large, and Xiang Yu only entered the palace a few times when he was a child, and now he has forgotten it. It was Lin Chen, because of the contract, he entered and exited the palace more times than him, and Qi Yuanchu was even more diligent.
The three of them stood on the white jade steps, silently listening to a sharp voice coming from inside, "Please General Qi, Mr. Lin, meet Gongzi!" ”
Lin Chen and Xiang Yu glanced at each other, followed Qi Yuanchu's steps, and walked into the splendid palace in front of them, with the atmospheric vermilion high walls, enclosing glory and power, but also freedom.
In front of the rosewood desk, a five-clawed black dragon soared through the clouds on Jun Ming's yellow robe, flaring up and entrenched in front of his chest, his domineering eyebrows flew obliquely into his sideburns, his eyes were as black as ink, deep and unfathomable, his deep facial features were like finely carved works of art, and a kingly aura surrounded him.
Yue Linjun, the current monarch of Dayue, defeated the other seven most competitive princes of Dayue a year ago, and passed on the throne to the king when the first Yue monarch collapsed. The royal Xinmi outsiders have no way of knowing, and they have no courage to know, after all, it is just the words "success and defeat".
The other seven princes were also killed or wounded, some were forced to "recuperate" in the palace, some were stationed on the frontier, and some were free. But all this was said by Yue Linjun, and no one dared to discuss it.
Looking at the man in front of him, Xiang Yu sighed in his heart, what kind of place is the palace, which made that little boy look at the world like this!
He stood silently behind the two of them, no longer looking at the person at the desk, and let those memories stay in the depths, and the best result is not to explore, right?
And Yue Linjun has already noticed Xiang Yu, he hasn't seen him for more than ten years, and he is already a majestic and heroic young man. Regarding the rumors of Xiang Yu, Yue Linjun also heard about it, his eyes were lightly scrutinized, and his raised eyebrows were slightly drooping, not knowing where to look.
"The last general will see Yue Jun." Qi Yuanchu took the lead in setting an example, half-kneeling on the ground, and saluted to Yue Linjun. Xiang Yu also knelt on the ground, looking at the ground and not knowing what he was thinking. Lin Chen only leaned over slightly, he and Da Yue had a cooperative relationship, not a monarch.
Yue Linjun's gaze swept over the three people in front of him, and a subtle atmosphere permeated the air. Qi Yuanchu and Xiang Yu buried their heads, and Lin Chen's warm gaze fell on Yue Linjun's domineering face, without a trace of waves.
After a while, he only heard a low voice with a hint of coercion in front of him, "Aiqing is flat." Yue Linjun's thin lips opened lightly, and a pair of eyes like ink jade didn't know if he was looking at Qi Yuanchu in front or Xiang Yu in the back.
Xiang Yu was about to get up, but he heard Qi Yuanchu in front of him clench his fists, and said loudly: "The last general failed to complete Yue Jun's task, I am really ashamed, and I hope Yue Jun will punish him."
Xiang Yu quietly glared at Qi Yuanchu, Qi Yuanchu couldn't get up if he didn't get up, why did this guy have so many rules?
Yue Linjun smiled heartily, but the laughter was too short to make people hear the real emotions inside, a smile pursed at the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were unchanged indifferent, "General Qi doesn't have to be like this, this time it should be mainly played, supplemented by looking for people." It is enough for you to return safely, and you will be in peace. ”
"Yes." Qi Yuanchu gratefully clenched his fists, got up quickly, and stood steadily in front of Yue Linjun's table.
Xiang Yu raised his eyebrows lightly, and glanced at Qi Yuanchu helplessly, this guy is very attentive to Yue Linjun, and it seems that he has been brainwashed by the loyal old father of his family.
"Aiqing and sit down, I have other things to do when I return from Aiqing this time." As he spoke, Yue Linjun's gaze turned to the sandalwood bookshelf on the side, and a person slowly walked behind him. He was dressed in a cyan robe, with a bunch of bluegrass on his cuffs, and his face was pale, but his eyebrows were clear and beautiful, with an elegant temperament.
Qi Yuanchu looked at the person in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he spoke: "This is the person I found in the qin family?"
Qi Yuanchu only cared about the excitement, but he didn't notice the hatred that flashed in the eyes of the person when he said that. He is the most talented Qinzi Yang in the side branch of the pianist, and if he can, he would rather live and die with the pianist than live like a puppet like now.
Qin Ziyang's every step was light and slow, Qi Yuanchu looked at him, and was about to get angry, but he saw Yue Linjun's eyes slightly downcast, and he put away the anger in his heart, and only complained silently, this Qin family is really squeamish!
"This is the pianist Qin Ziyang, and he will also be the national teacher of Dayue in the future." When Qin Ziyang walked to Yue Linjun's side, there was a hint of interest in his indifferent eyes, and he announced to the three of them.
Qi Yuanchu was the first to have an opinion, he was about to get up when he saw Yue Linjun Rufeng's gaze sweeping over his whole body, and a vast majesty came towards him, making him unable to say a word of rebuttal.
Qi Yuanchu raised his head slightly, looking at the person in front of the desk, once a son of heaven and a courtier, he was now just the minister of the Yue Jun in front of him.
Lin Chen sat aside, his eyes as calm as water only showed a hint of interest when he saw Qin Ziyang, he didn't think that this Qin family would submit to Da Yue so quickly, the culprit who caused the destruction of other countries was impossible to use Da Yue's secret medicine.
It's just that he still didn't remind Yue Linjun, he can think of this problem, Yue Linjun can think of this problem, and he can think of Yue Linjun, who has been in the palace for many years, and there are many secrets in this Da Yue that he doesn't know, so why does he need to say more.
Qin Ziyang didn't say hello to the three of them, but only found a place behind Yue Linjun and sat down, as if he was just an outsider.
Yue Linjun was not annoyed, he also had a general understanding of Qin Ziyang's temper and ability in the past half month, and within a certain range, he gave Qin Ziyang the greatest tolerance, and he did not have much requirements for his rules.
Qi Yuanchu's eyes widened angrily, but because of Yue Linjun's presence, he could only put away his momentum, but his gaze at Qin Ziyang was still very unfriendly, such a defeated country still wanted to play prestige in my big country!
Qi Yuanchu's gaze was too obvious, and Yue Linjun's deep eyes looked in his direction and said softly, "What is General Qi's opinion?" ”
Between his eyes, Qi Yuanchu instantly felt like a sharp sword piercing his chest, and a fear arose in his heart, he shook his head and half-knelt on the ground again, "Don't dare." ”
Yue Linjun lifted his eyes lightly, and the aura of Ling Yun surrounded his body, "That's fine, General Qi will be responsible for the safety of the Qin National Division." Yue Linjun was very strong in the word "national teacher", and it also hit Qi Yuanchu's heart like a drum.
Qi Yuanchu looked up at Yue Linjun in amazement, not understanding the deep meaning of his doing, but the loyalty in his bones made him unable to refute it, so he could only silently accept this order.
Xiang Yu sat aside, the corners of his mouth raised inadvertently, he had never seen Qi Yuanchu look so deflated, and now he was really happy to see it, more than ten years, Yue Linjun's temperament of liking to use his identity to oppress people has not changed much.
Lin Chen quietly glared at Xiang Yu, asking him to pay attention to the occasion, Xiang Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled, and then stopped raising his lips, and the joy in his eyes still couldn't be hidden.
Yue Linjun noticed Xiang Yu's small movements, but he didn't see it at all, and after arranging Qi Yuanchu, he continued: "Qin Guoshi once did divination, and the Southern Dynasty will change greatly in less than two years." I am looking for you to come back this time to recharge your energy and prepare for the great war. ”
