Chapter 173: The Seventh Horse
Seven days later, there was news in the palace that the emperor was going to choose a horse for the princess of the East China Sea again. Within three days, the princes and ministers who had sons in Luoyang City were decorated with lights, and they all held happy events in advance. At this time, it doesn't matter what the door is for. As long as it's a girl of the same age, it's okay to be innocent. At the moment, there are officials in Luoyang City, and hundreds of people are starting to get busy and hurry up to organize the wedding for the child.
What Nacai, Mingming, and Najib are all left behind at this time, anyway, they are all in Luoyang City, and after the ceremony in the morning, the bride will be married at noon. In these years, the son was born to himself, and if he was really chosen by the emperor, it would be tantamount to a death sentence.
When the emperor asked these ministers with marriageable children and grandchildren, almost all of them said in unison: "Unfortunately, the dogs in the minister's family have just been married." Thanks to His Majesty's love, it is also a blessing that the puppy does not have this ......"
There are no marriageable officials in Luoyang City, and at the moment, Liu Xiu opened the roster of officials and selected sons-in-law for himself all over the country. Picking and choosing, and finally in the old capital of Chang'an City, I found a family of princes who could barely have a relationship with the royal family, the ninth descendant of the Anyi Marquis Gao Deng, who was personally entitled by Emperor Gaozu - Gao Yiren.
The Gao family lived in Hanzhong for a long time, and it was only after Liu Xiu moved the capital that the family moved to Chang'an City. is also because there is no contact with the imperial court, and there are no officials in the court to finish off this Anyi Marquis.
When Wang Mang rebelled, all the princes canonized by the Liu family were dismissed. Gao Yiren's grandfather, Gao Liang, was also removed from the title of Marquis of Anyi, and later Liu Xiu was restored to the old princes after he became emperor. Gao Liang and his son Gao Jun have both died, and the title of Marquis of Anyi is cheaper than Gao Yiren.
Gao Yiren is four years younger than the princess, and she has already reached the age of marriage. It's just that An Yihou's biological mother died a few years ago, and he just passed the period of filial piety, so he wanted to start thinking about the major events of his family, and a horse's hat was buttoned on his head.
Gao Yi and Luoyang Baiguan usually have no contact, and they don't know the rumors about this princess of the East China Sea. After the official inspection and the sponsorship of local officials, An Yihou was recruited into the palace of Luoyang City. Among them, after the emperor and the empress looked at each other, Liu Xiu canonized An Yihou as the new concubine of the East China Sea princess on the same day.
At that moment, the emperor ordered the construction of a palace for the new horses. After the completion of the Horse Mansion, the princess of the East China Sea will be married. After the news came out, all the officials in Luoyang City breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, his own child has escaped this catastrophe. If there is a good thing, I also went to the Anyi Hou Mansion to meet this new horse. After coming back, he described that he was not a bad person, but he didn't like to talk much. It's a pity that I'm going to leave at such a young age.
The Horse Mansion was rebuilt on the basis of the original Huangzhuang and was completed in more than two months. In the same month of completion, Liu Xiu personally chose an auspicious day for the princess of the East China Sea. On the morning of the same day, Ji Susu, the princess of the East China Sea, wore auspicious clothes for the second time, and sat in a sedan chair and marched towards the Horse Mansion under the support of the palace attendants.
At this time, the people of Luoyang City had already opened a gambling game. There are bets that this new colt can't survive the time when the Pony Mansion is built, and there are also bets that he can last until the end of the ceremony. Very few people would bet that the high horse could get the princess to pass through the door, after all, only the last of his six seniors insisted on seeing the princess.
As for worshipping the hall and entering the cave room or something, no one in the entire Luoyang City dared to put money here. So a shocking scene appeared, and the concubine welcomed the princess into the door in front of the house. Until the church, he was still talking and laughing, and he could not see the slightest sign of imminent death.
At that moment, under the auspices of the ceremonial officer, Gao Yiren and the princess of the East China Sea were going to visit the church. Just when the ceremonial officials worshiped the emperor's decree in front of the hall, waiting for a couple to worship. Someone in the crowd suddenly screamed, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out, and finally fell to the ground on his back.
I saw that the new colt was fine, but something happened to the person watching next to me. At the moment, the people who were waiting for the new colt to die were dumbfounded. Just when everyone thought that the horse master had changed his luck, they saw the man who looked at his eyes and vomited blood staggered and got up from the ground. Then they separated the crowd, ran to the outside of the Horse Mansion, got into a carriage, and drove towards the location outside Luoyang City.
The man drove to the foot of a mountain thirty miles outside Luoyang City in one go, and after jumping off the carriage, the man opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood. It looked as if he was about to die at any time, and after a long pause, he gathered enough strength and ran towards the top of the mountain.
But before the man could run a few steps, a cold voice came from the air: "What did I tell you?" If you kill An Yihou, you can take the money and fly away, who let you - what's the matter with the blood on your body? Who hurt you like this...... Rubbish, you've brought people here......"
As he spoke, a young man with a sword appeared in front of him out of thin air. This person was Mo Li, who disappeared with Ji Gao, and he immediately discovered the flaw, quickly turned around in place, and looked around to see if there were any suspicious people to follow.
At this time, the person who vomited blood began to cough again. Every time he coughed, blood foamed out of the man's mouth, and it was easy to stop coughing. The man gasped hard and said to Mo Li, "Help me...... I ended up like this in order to do something for you....... save me......"
"You didn't work for nothing." As he spoke, Mo Li suddenly raised a hand and slashed at this person. At the same time as his hand fell, the long sword that was still stuck in his back suddenly appeared in Mo Li's hand. In the blink of an eye, this person was split in two by Mo Li.
After seeing a large living person fall to the ground in half, Mo Li turned around and walked behind him. As he walked, he began to urge the Five Elements to escape the Dharma, and he wanted to leave here with the help of the power of the Retreat. However, after Mo Li urged the Five Elements Escape Method, he found that his body was still in place, and the Five Elements Escape Method he was used to had lost its effect this time.
"Don't be so troublesome, don't leave the little doll, you can't go anywhere." Behind him as he spoke, he saw that where the person who vomited blood just now was divided into two, there were two people standing respectively, it was the white-haired Wu Mian, and the old guy did not return. The two of them stared at Mo Li, who had already understood what was going on, and then, the old guy looked behind Mo Li with a smile, and then continued: "What about your master whose spell has been blocked? Hand him over and talk, I'm missing him a little, old man. ”
"What is the Anyi Hou Gao Yiren, I said why I haven't heard of this An Yihou before, it turns out that you have carefully designed it for the landlord." After Mo Li sneered, he held the long sword in his hand, looked at the two of them and said, "And what about that bait island Guangji?" Please come out with him, for the sake of a Mo Li, there is no need to think that the generous people of the Cantonese generation are hiding in the secret and attacking. ”
"You think too much, if you let him appear now, Guangzhi won't appear." After smiling, he glanced at Wu Mian, and then continued: "Guangzhi is now dreaming of being a groom official, if you call him, Guangzhi may not wake up." ”
Originally, I wanted Wu Mian to be a colt and seduce Guangzhi and Mo Li's master and apprentice to appear. However, when he saw a faint thunder light on Wu Mian's body, the old guy immediately changed his words again. said to Guangzhi: "Senior Brother Guangzhi, why don't you come." Wu Mian is really not suitable to be a colt, with his expression, even if he changes his face, he can see at a glance that this is Wu Mian, or trouble you. ”
If you can find Ji Prison, let alone let Guangzhi pretend to be the groom. Even if he was asked to be the groom, he gritted his teeth and agreed. Now all his hopes are in Ji Prison, and every day he can't find this person, he will be uneasy all day. At the moment, he agreed to dress up as a colt. Wu Mian and Gui Bugui were mixed in the crowd. Always ready to dig out the man who plots against the bridegroom.
