Volume 2: Youxue Mingchan Chapter 340: A Trip to the Palace
Approaching the imperial city, Chu Haoyun had to temporarily place Chu Leiming and them in the wilderness. The forces of the imperial city were mixed, and his 8,000 people entering it was like a small pebble thrown into the lake. Moreover, although the good intentions of the troubled monarch planned their independence, it was not officially recognized after all.
Once Zhong Weiqing and the others lead the troops in, any person in the Imperial City can place a crime for them and destroy their small group in minutes. Even if they were afraid of suffering from Jun Chang, Chu Haoyun and Zhong Weiqing did not dare to easily touch such a brow, after all, they were outsiders.
Dusk was approaching, and the three brothers Chu Leiming and Mo Qiulan were stationed in the wild. Chu Haoyun, Zhong Weiqing and Xiao Tian followed Yu Junchang to the imperial city together. That night, Chu Haoyun and Zhong Weiqing followed the guest to stay at the inn temporarily, while Xiao Tian left directly.
The hustle and bustle of the Xingyue Imperial City couldn't help but make Chu Haoyun think of the night when he first came. Night Seventeen was knocked out of the hotel by the Snow Dance and fled in embarrassment. He has always had a very strange feeling about the opposite Duanmu Sealing Dust and Falling Snow Dance. The two siblings, except for their initial participation in this war, have been in retreat since then, and even the evacuation was brought away by their elders.
I really don't know what kind of transformation they were going through at that time, and they were so indifferent to the outside world.
The night was quiet, and Chu Haoyun slept peacefully for a night.
Early the next morning, the guards woke up the two who were asleep. and told them that they were asked to go to the Star Moon Palace together. The two quickly agreed, and after tidying up, they followed the troubled monarch to the Xingyue Palace. Anyway, the two of them will be summoned sooner or later, and the abnormality of suffering from Junchang along the way has made them see new hope, even if the forces of the imperial city want to suppress them, as long as they are affected by Junchang, they will not dare to be blatant.
When he was in the Xingyue Sacred Courtyard, Chu Haoyun had almost traveled all over the Imperial City, but he had never entered the Xingyue Imperial Palace.
The morning glow shines, the majestic 100-meter palace group, the white marble stone steps, and the 999 steps spread to the high palace. Among the kingdoms, the height of palaces in ordinary kingdoms is limited to thousands, and only empires can be in thousands. Just like the Imperial Orchid Empire, the Imperial Orchid Imperial City not only has a height of more than a thousand steps, but also far surpasses the Star Moon Imperial City in terms of overall planning.
Chu Haoyun curiously observed everything around him, the weakest guards here were all masters in the early stage of the Returning Yuan Realm. Zhong Weiqing's face was expressionless, looking at the palace that was getting closer and closer, a color of disgust flashed in his eyes. Only the troubles are common, and they have long been accustomed to it.
As soon as they were halfway there, a large group of people appeared in the palace to greet them. The person who was the leader was none other than the Eighth Emperor Yu Feng, whom Chu Haoyun knew! In addition, what made Chu Haoyun pay more attention was Xiao Tian who appeared behind Yu Feng, and the Feng Yuan Ether saliva on this guy's body had actually been lifted? This situation made him see a glimmer of hope, and he glanced at Zhong Weiqing, and each slowed down.
Yu Feng is obviously here to greet the troubled monarch, and the direct relationship between Xingyue and Yulan is like the comparison between Xingyue and the state and county. Yu Feng stepped forward with a smile and said in greetings: "Lord Yushi, Yu Feng is polite." I wanted to send someone to ask Lord Yushi to talk about it, but I didn't want Lord Yushi to come to my Xingyue Palace in person so early. Please!"
Yu Feng guided the suffering Junchang to the main hall not far away. He Jun Chang nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "I'm tired of Yu being crowned the prince, but the old man has the imperial decree of the empress, so he doesn't dare to slack off." I wonder if Emperor Yuechen is in the court?"
In two simple sentences, Yu Feng understood a lot. The emperor often has the imperial decree of the Empress Yulan, which is rare once in many years. Generally, every time the Yulan Empire intervenes in the affairs of the Three Kingdoms, it will soon be another turmoil within the Three Kingdoms. Some were annihilated in history, while others were made famous princely forces to regulate the rights of the Three Kingdoms.
Emperor Yuechen's real name is Dai Tianli, and he is the Xingyue Monarch of this generation, that is, the father of Yu Feng and others. Yu Feng smiled helplessly: "When Lord Yushi came last time, he also knew that his father had been in retreat. In order to select the next term of Xingyue, the Xingyue Dynasty is currently governed by our three brothers in turn. Today is my second brother's business, but because I know that Lord Yushi has come to the imperial city, all three of us brothers are here. ”
Yu Feng's words made Yu Jun Chang smile and didn't say anything more. In his words, it seemed to be normal, but he indirectly told Jun Chang that in the eyes of the second prince Yu Chen, he did not value Jun Chang's identity as much as he did. In this regard, Yu Jun often knew that he didn't want to get involved in Xingyue's internal struggle, so he didn't take the conversation.
Yu Feng also knew what Jun Chang was thinking, so on this short road, he quickly changed the topic and asked why Jun Chang was walking with Que Jiuzhong. He Jun Chang smiled mysteriously and asked rhetorically: "Since today is the second prince's business, can Prince Yufeng speak on behalf of Emperor Yuechen?"
"Mishi-sama laughed!"
Yu Feng's smile froze, but the embarrassment was quickly resolved. After they finished talking, everyone had already arrived at the place where the highest symbol of power in the Star Moon Country, the Moon Emperor Palace!
Looking at the golden plaque in the palace, Chu Haoyun was puzzled, why is it called the Moon Emperor Palace? What about the stars in the stars? However, as he entered, his doubts were gradually replaced by the shock brought by the luxurious structure inside.
In the palace of the Moon Emperor, the pearl is bright, the jasper is stepped into the steps, the eight golden pillars, the dragon and the phoenix are carved, and they are lifelike. Above the head, there is a huge relief of stars, under the reflection of the light of the stars, like a real celestial dome, making people feel small.
On both sides of the court, the ministers were separated. Directly above, a golden jade dragon chair, domineering and hideous, the jade stone dragon behind the dragon chair, coiling around the mountains and rivers, looking down on the world, people dare not look at it. Under the empty dragon chair, the ninety-nine jade steps carved a hundred beasts surrendered.
Between the ninety-nine jade steps, every thirty-three steps, there is an extension, dividing into three levels. At this time, Yu Chen, the second prince in charge, was sitting on the second step below the dragon chair, wearing a silver robe of eight dragons, and his momentum was calm. On the first staircase, there are three identical chairs, one of which is clearly just put up. On the left, the third prince Yu Ning sat on the seat, and he was carefully looking at Chu Haoyun who came in, with strange colors flashing in his eyes.
Originally, when they came here, everyone had to have court courtesy, but as a representative of the Yulan Empire, Chang Jun was obviously not among them. He was directly guided by Yu Feng to the position on the first ladder, in the same column as the two princes.
"Que Jiuzhong (Zhong Weiqing) has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Chu Haoyun bowed slightly, making Zhong Weiqing, who wanted to bow down according to the original etiquette, also chose to bow. He also vaguely knew about the conspiracy of the three countries, and he was not interested in the high-level of the three countries.
"Bold, seeing the future monarch of Xingyue, you dare to be so rude!" Their performance made some old ministers in the court suddenly unbearable, when even a civil official jumped out and took responsibility for Chu Haoyun and the others.
Chu Haoyun glanced at everyone here, all of whom were more or less hostile to him. Even the one next to Xiao Tian was no exception!
"You also said that this is only a future monarch, not a monarch! Besides, I, a member of the Tianwee Sect, not your courtiers, how do you want me to pay respect? Also, who are you? In this solemn court, shouting and screaming, what kind of system do you become?" He behaved very indifferently, which made many people frown. Yu Chen didn't speak, he watched all this quietly, his eyes stayed on Yu Jun Chang and Chu Haoyun from time to time, his eyes flickered, he didn't know what he was thinking, but Yu Feng, and his smile became even brighter unconsciously.
"You ......" The man was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't expect Chu Haoyun to dare to talk to him like this. He was just a civil servant, and his physical fitness was not as good as that of a sergeant, and after seeing Chu Haoyun's deep eyes, he unconsciously shivered. Witty, he hurriedly turned to Yuchen for help.
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, this person has no court, and he doesn't put my Xingyue future monarch in his eyes, which is really a great contempt for my Xingyue. The old minister implored His Highness to give an order to capture this unknown person. The old guy threw himself on the ground and said indignantly, with tears in his eyes, Chu Haoyun was almost impressed by this guy's performance.
"Ahem!" Yu Chen was helpless, to this point, he had to come forward. Looking down at Chu Haoyun and the others, his calm voice spread throughout the entire hall.
"Que Jiuzhong, as a disciple of the mysterious Heavenly Weeping Sect, you have some bearing and arrogance that this hall can understand. I, Xingyue, am not an unreasonable person, and this hall allows you to follow the previous etiquette. Yu Chen's words made Chu Haoyun feel a little wrong, this guy bit the words mystery and Tianwee Sect very hard, and there was a faint suspicion of completely excluding him from the people of Xingyue. Sure enough, in the next second, Yu Chen turned the spearhead to Zhong Weiqing on Chu Haoyun's side, and said in a deep voice: "Don't mention the matter of Que Jiuzhong, but Zhong Weiqing, as the commander of the original Qiulan Iron Cavalry, have you forgotten even the most basic etiquette?"
"This guy, it turned out that he wanted Zhong Weiqing to make a breakthrough and get back face!" Chu Haoyun suddenly understood Yu Chen's thoughts. When he figured it out, the old guy from before jumped up again and sneered at Zhong Weiqing: "Commander Zhong, have you forgotten your glory as a subject of Xingyue after being captured by Zhan Yun, or have you secretly actually taken refuge in Zhan Yun, otherwise, why are you so rude in front of my future monarch of Xingyue?"
When Chu Haoyun heard this, he raised his hand to stop Zhong Weiqing, whose eyes were angry. He narrowed his eyes, looked at Yu Chen, looked at the old guy, and began to understand something. Obviously, he and the Suffering Gentleman often came all the way, which made these guys feel uneasy. They want to create a trumped-up charge first, and erase all the merits of Zhong Weiqing and others before the emperor often intervenes, and even erase people.
This old guy's accusation, if it is implemented. That treason is the most cruel, just like the betrayal that Chu Haoyun hates the most. This had already stung him deeply, wasn't it precisely because of this that the tragedy of the Blue Canghai and Xiaoyun Sect was caused?
"The future Star and Moon Monarch, old man, are you so sure that His Royal Highness the Second Prince will be able to ascend to the throne?" Chu Haoyun's cold voice suddenly made the entire hall completely silent. Who would dare to touch such a sensitive question? Sure enough, Yu Chen's face also became gloomy. Although the smiles of the third prince and the eighth prince Yu Feng were restrained, the strange colors in their eyes became more and more obvious.
The old god of the troubled king was there, looking at the court of Xingyue, revealing a touch of sarcasm and disdain.
