Chapter 539: Entering the city is blocked
After a while, the focus of attention of the audience shifted from the brocade guards on the city tower to Chu Tiankuo, who was riding a tall horse.
Not only those ordinary people looked at Chu Tiankuo with a surprised expression, but even the soldiers guarding the city, and even the brocade guards on the city tower.
Of course, the people didn't pay special attention to Chu Tiankuo because he was so tall that he was in the wind. Of course, Chu Tian's broad face is like a crown of jade, and he is definitely recognized as a beautiful man.
It's just that in this case, everyone is bent on entering the city, and they are bored because of the obstruction of entering the city, who will pay attention to appearance, and who will appreciate handsome guys?
There is a reason why everyone is impressed by Chu Tiankuo.
The people were reprimanded and intimidated by the Jinyi guards, and they were all frightened. However, Chu Tiankuo on horseback was silent, his face was calm, without fear, and he still sat on horseback as he always did. This immediately distinguished him from ordinary people.
Those officers and soldiers guarding the city, as well as the Jinyi guards, also noticed Chu Tiankuo. With his unusual behavior, it's hard not to get noticed. It's just that they can't see Tiankuo's face clearly, otherwise, they will probably be even more surprised.
When he boarded, the brocade guards on the city tower came down from the city tower and walked towards the direction where Chu Tiankuo was.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city under the city gate, who were closest to Chu Tiankuo, quickly approached him and asked, "Who is so bold that he doesn't kneel down when he sees an adult?" β
Chu Tiankuo was stunned for a while, and then reacted, the adults they said should be referring to the Jinyi guards in the palace. He was secretly amused in his heart, let him kneel for Jinyiwei? I'm afraid that if he kneels, those brocade guards will not be able to bear it.
He didn't want to cause trouble, let alone kneel, so he still sat on the back of the horse and said calmly: "My lord, I have something important to do, and I need to go to the city, and I bother your lord to make it convenient." β
This made the people around him laugh when he heard this. Everyone scoffs, who doesn't go to the city because there is something important? Is there anyone who is idle and has nothing to do but runs to the city?
Those officers and soldiers were not very willing to deal with him, but just waved their hands: "Go!" Go! Go! There is an order from above, and no entry or exit is allowed. You'd better dismiss that thought. β
If it weren't for his temperament being different from ordinary people, they wouldn't want to reply to him.
As he spoke, the brocade guards had already approached, and when they saw that the people were keeping to themselves, they said lightly: "Get up." β
The kneeling people dared to get up and look at Chu Tiankuo with a pair of eyes.
At this moment, the brocade guards could not help but be startled when they saw the man on horseback, as if they had been awakened in a dream, and their eyes seemed as if they had just groped back from a distant place.
I saw the person in front of me, with broad eyebrows and a dignified appearance, wearing a cyan satin robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a green fan in one hand. He has fair skin, red lips and white teeth, and handsome and prominent facial features. The appearance is very similar to that of the current emperor.
The world is so big that there are no surprises. It is not surprising that people with the same appearance abound. However, it is surprising that the person on the horse has a face that resembles the emperor.
The Jinyi Guard, who was the leader, stared at Chu Tiankuo with a pair of eyes, and asked, "Who is this son?" β
Chu Tiankuo was stared at uncomfortably, and his body shook slightly. He didn't know how to answer this question. Telling the truth is definitely not going to work. Now, the name of Chu Tiankuo, the son of the fan, is likely to be a household name.
Of course, this is not a good thing. , because, his name, linked to the prisoner, I am afraid that as soon as he says it, he will be arrested. Although they may not be able to catch him, there will definitely be adverse consequences if they make such a fuss.
Chu Tiankuo thought about it, casually recited his name, and reported: "If you go back to your lordship, my name is Zhang Yun." β
He was so helpless that in one day, he had already told many lies. Everything is forced.
The brocade guard had roughly guessed Chu Tiankuo's identity and intended to let Chu Tiankuo enter the city. It's just a routine inquiry.
The officers and soldiers around him said in a well-handled voice: "Bold! My lord is here, and he still doesn't get off his horse and salute. β
Chu Tiankuo was still tactful and calm, and said without hurrying: "My lord, my old father in the city is sick, I received the news and was in a hurry to go into the city to visit. I hope you can be accommodating. β
He spoke pleadingly, with sincerity. Well, he consciously told the truth. His father was indeed sick, and it was right for him to go into the city to visit. It's just that his old father's identity is a little special, and he still lives in the palace.
Of course, he didn't say this, he just said it succinctly.
Unexpectedly, Jin Yiwei was unusual, and without further questioning, he opened his mouth and let him go.
"Zhang Gongzi is filial piety and touching, and the official has allowed you to enter the city." The Jinyi guard at the head praised him, and he turned to the officers and soldiers guarding the city beside him: "Go!" Open the city gate and let Zhang Gongzi enter the city. β
Chu Tiankuo was stunned for a moment, surprised and delighted, but the joy in his heart was surprising. He thought it would take a little more trouble to wear out his tongue before he could enter the city. didn't expect that Jin Yiwei would simply agree. He secretly wondered why they hadn't made it difficult for him when they had already closed the city gates.
Not only Chu Tian was surprised, but even those people were also confused. Why should men on horseback enter the city, and they should be stopped? If it is really as Jin Yiwei said, this person is filial piety and touched him, it is too!
The reason that filial piety is touching is too far-fetched to convince everyone.
They don't dare to openly confront the Jinyi Guard, against the officers and soldiers, don't they even dare to deal with a civilian? The people on the scene immediately made a commotion and blocked Chu Tiankuo's way one after another.
One of the people was bolder than the average and had the courage to protest, "My lord, this is not fair. But his father was sick, so he was allowed to enter the city. My mother is dead, why am I not allowed to go into the city to wear linen and filial piety for my mother? β
Speaking of wearing linen and wearing filial piety, there is also an allusion.
A long, long time ago, in the area along the river, there was an old woman who lost her husband in her early years, the old woman had two sons, and she finally raised the two sons to adulthood, but they did not respect the old lady after they got married, and always boasted in front of the mother: "When the mother passes away, you must have a good time, let the mother sleep in the Nanmu coffin, wear red and green, and sing the 7749 days dojo for the mother......"
The old woman knew that they were telling a lie, and wanted to teach them a lesson and fulfill her responsibilities as a mother. The old woman didn't close her eyes all night, and finally came up with a solution.
The next day, the old woman called her two sons to the bed and said, "If I die, I don't want you to spend a penny to roll me up on a broken straw mat and throw me into the Yellow River to feed the fish or to the wolves on the Taihang Mountain." But from this day onwards, you shall watch every day how the crows in the locust trees behind the house and the owls in the mountain woods live their livesβuntil I close my eyes. β
