Chapter 128: The Lady of Chu State Meets You
Under the high autumn sun outside Songzhou City, several officials wiped the fine sweat on their heads, and looked at the letter soldiers who came to report at a gallop, looking annoyed.
"Stopped to rest again?"
"So it means that you won't be able to arrive the day after tomorrow?"
Xinbing said: "Mrs. Chu is undecided, saying that she has a day off, but it may also be two days...... So I won't know until I leave for a few days. ”
The bad-tempered officials immediately shook their sleeves angrily, "Don't wait", "She can arrive whenever she wants!" "No!"
Tantrums are just tantrums, and other good-tempered officials persuade each other, "Come or come", "We are not giving her face, this is for Your Majesty"
Since the emperor learned that Mrs. Chu was coming, he was repeatedly concerned, and he had to personally greet Mrs. Chu "Mrs. Chu recovered the capital and killed Ankang Mountain, and she was the first great hero of Great Xia."
Of course, when they are courtiers, they must relieve His Majesty's worries and build momentum for His Majesty.
"That's it, let's wait."
What can the officials do, who makes Mrs. Chu State prosperous!
"Originally, I refused to leave the capital because I was afraid of weakening my power, but now the credit for killing Ankang Mountain is unmatched."
"Listen to her travels! On the 10th, a new carriage was replaced, and there were 1,000 people holding the flag, thousands of soldiers and horses clearing the road in front, thousands of soldiers and horses in the back, and 100 scribes accompanying them......"
"Forget about the soldiers and horses, what do you do with the scribes?"
"It's said to be dealing with the affairs of the Guardians."
"Look at her busy, Your Majesty doesn't travel like her!"
Although Mrs. Chu Guo did not come for a long time, with the frequent movement of the letter soldiers, Mrs. Chu's departure was suddenly in front of her.
She traveled luxuriously, carrying soldiers and horses without eating or sleeping, and she had to rest for three or five days, and she would enter the city when she saw it......
"The city government is respectful, so many people eat and drink, and ask for gifts."
"So some people say that there is no grass where she passes?"
Everyone was indignant while talking, and they sat in the built shed to rest...... There's nothing to do when you go back, you can spend time here.
Just talking and laughing, he saw a team of soldiers and horses galloping, with a solemn expression, and some officials recognized that it was Zhang An who was the leader, and hurriedly raised his hand to call it.
"Zhang Dudu!"
"How? Is it really a rebel? ”
A few days ago, rebels appeared near the Henan provincial border, and several villages and towns were attacked, resulting in heavy casualties.
"Survivors also described the Northland accent ......"
"It must have come from Hedongdao!" Officials agreed in unison.
Ankang Mountain was killed, the rebels were torn apart and fled everywhere, so it is not surprising that they ran here!
"Not a lot of people, right?"
"Did you catch it?"
They asked nervously.
Zhang An said: "I don't know how many people there are...... These people ran so fast that they couldn't find a trace. ”
That is, I didn't catch it, everyone knows that this Zhang An is not counting on it......
"Governor Li personally went to investigate." Zhang An himself didn't count on himself, and gave his hand to everyone, "I'll go and report to Your Majesty and discuss how to settle the victims." ”
The officials raised their hands and said please go quickly, and watched Zhang An gallop away with his soldiers and horses......
"How did the rebels get to us?"
"It's because you know Your Majesty is here, right?"
"I think it's because of Mrs. Chu!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at this person.
"Am I not right?" This person said solemnly, "When Hedong Road was chasing the rebels, Mrs. Chu Guo took so many soldiers and horses to travel, and the momentum was huge, I think those rebels were all attracted by Mrs. Chu State!" ”
………
………
The soldiers and horses were stationed in the night-shrouded wilderness, and from the distant hillside they looked like sparks scattered with sparks.
"My lord," a pair of eyes flashed in the dark night, looking at the distant galaxy, holding a bow and crossbow, "put a fire on them to scare them?" ”
The adult next to him yelled at him, "Are you crazy or stupid?" Burning a few towns has burned you to the ground, right? ”
He grabbed the man's head and shook it forward.
"You see clearly! That's Mrs. Chu's soldiers and horses, it's Mrs. Chu! Mrs. Chu Guo! ”
The man's scalp was about to fall off, and he hurriedly begged for mercy in a low voice.
"I knew that Mrs. Chu was powerful, I didn't want to hit her, I just shot rockets from afar to scare her ......and leave," he explained.
The adult smacked him again: "Just release a rocket?" Do you believe that people can burn us all to death? ”
The man didn't dare to speak.
"Don't forget our purpose!" The adult let go of him, admonished in a low voice, and looked around, there were figures floating and hiding in the night around him, "If we bump into the hands of Mrs. Chu Guo, we will only have a dead end!" ”
Listen to a few strange birds in the night......
"Let's go!" The adult stopped scolding and waved his hand, "Let's go." ”
The night was noisy and quiet, and it was not long before the night lit up with fire, and a group of soldiers and horses appeared here, and the flags of the various guards fluttered in the light of the fire.........
"Not here!"
"I've checked everything, and there are no thieves!"
A burst of shouts also sounded, and it was reported to the leading general.
"It shouldn't be." The general frowned and looked around, "It's true that I came here, why did I disappear again?" ”
"Did you read it wrong?" The adjutant general speculated, "There are too many soldiers and horses who came out to find it, Zhang An, Wang Lin, and General Xiao Qi are also fighting against Li Dudu, and His Majesty is also worried, so he sent the Praetorian Guards......"
Everywhere there were scurrying soldiers and horses, mistaking the guards for rebels.
The general frowned: "It's possible, but shouldn't you be wrong several times?" He shook his head and said to himself, "It's as if these rebels have eyes on us and can always see us in advance......"
"It's even more impossible!" The adjutant general smiled, and lowered his voice again, "My lord, forget it, the purpose of the above is not to catch these rebels, just scare them away." ”
This is also true, the general threw it away and waved his hand: "Keep chasing!" Don't let any of them go! ”
The soldiers and horses shouted their promises, and the horses' hooves galloped away in the night.
As the sun rose and sunset, the officials outside Songzhou City finally waited for Mrs. Chu Guo...... of the soldiers and horses.
Groups of soldiers and horses galloped outside the city of Songzhou, handed over letter seals, verified their identities, and then spread the guard outside the city.
Then there was the group of officials, who also handed over the letter seal to verify their identity, and they were the subordinate officials of different positions appointed by the wife of Chu State from the capital of Xuanwu Dao of Huainan Province and Taiyuan Mansion, and they entered the official mansion and handed over the documents of the soldiers, horses and people's livelihood affairs under the rule of Mrs. Chu State.
Then there were groups of merchants, carrying all kinds of goods into Songzhou City, some people inquired where Mrs. Chu would stay, what decoration was needed, and some people put out Mrs. Chu's favorite goods for sale.
Day by day, the lady of Chu has not yet arrived, and there are already flags of her name everywhere inside and outside Songzhou City.
The entire Songzhou City is like a fiery fire on the stove, and it is almost a fire to boil.
Mrs. Chu is that fire.
On the eighth day of September in the eighth year of Chengyuan, after a month, Mrs. Chu's car finally appeared in the sight of the officials and people of Songzhou.
The layers of soldiers and horses outside Songzhou City are like embankments, blocking the surrounding crowds.
A canopy carriage drove slowly, with a veil hanging on all sides, pearls as curtains, and a wind priest made of clams hanging, making the figures in the black clouds more and more dazzling.
Mrs. Chu's carriage stopped briefly in front of the officials who greeted her, and she did not get out of the carriage, but only saluted in the carriage, and immediately entered the city to face the saint.
"Did you see that?"
"What a beautiful car!"
"What about people? Do you see it clearly? ”
"See clearly!"
"Dressed in black!"
"With a black power fence!"
Mrs. Chu's car drove away in the noise, leaving satisfied onlookers.
Finally met Mrs. Chu Guo, just like the legend, mysterious, like a fairy, extravagant, scary, majestic, terrifying......... Everyone's feelings can fit their imagination.
The emperor waits in the main hall.
Mrs. Chu's car slowly drove towards the gate of the palace.
"The civil officials in the palace have been checked, no one has been to Jiannan Road, and no one has seen the eldest lady."
"The generals in the palace have been checked, and they are not from Jiannan Daowei."
"The eunuchs in the palace have been inventoried......"
In the meantime, there were people who kept reporting to Yuanji, Jiang Dian and others who turned into ordinary guards, officials, etc.
When it was confirmed at the last moment that there was no problem with the inventory, and the carriage also stopped at the gate of the palace, Motoyoshi walked to the front of the car and lifted the curtain.
"Ma'am, it's here."
Li Minglou took off the fence in the car, took off his outer robe, and walked out of the car with Yuan Ji's hand.
The officials who dismounted around originally wanted to say something, but when they saw the true face of Mrs. Chu Guo in her commandment uniform, they were instantly quiet.
Their eyebrows and eyes shook, amazed, stunned, and distracted...... Stunned, he watched the woman walk towards the palace.
Yuanji held the sheng festival, and the bag held the letter seal followed.
"Lady of Chu State is here!"
The door of the palace was wide open, the civil and military officials turned back in two columns, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and the prince stood at the foot of the steps, all eyes focused on the woman who walked in.
She is petite, graceful, and beautiful.
Her face was like jade, and her eyes were like stars.
She leaned down to her knees.
"The courtiers knock on Your Majesty, long live long live long live."
