Chapter Eighty-Eight: Ascending the Mountain, Entering the City, and Entering the Palace
The black-clothed old monk surnamed Yang Tai Sui, born in the top scholar family of Dongyue Yang, studious since childhood, flooded with hundreds of families, shaved at the age of thirteen, read through the three classics of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, especially good at yin and yang techniques, although he is a monk, but he studied from the Taoist priest of Qingxu Palace to learn Taoism and the doctrine of soldiers, twenty-four years old traveled to Longhu Mountain, was reprimanded by the real person Qi Xuanjiao after meeting, Yang Tai Sui was not angry but happy, and was recommended to serve the prince in Beijing, and then chanted and prayed for the late queen mother, presided over the royal Yongfu Temple, assisted the emperor to win the country, during the period of the great eunuch several people as Bodhisattva precept disciples。
The world is settled, the old monk who likes to wear black refuses the title of national teacher, and concentrates on studying Buddhism in Yongfu Temple, and has long been cut off from the family, and has no connection with the powerful people of the current dynasty Three years ago, he resigned from the Yongfu Temple to preside over the monk and the main monk of the palace, and traveled alone to the north and south of the river, and the dragon saw the head but not the tail, and appeared in Tai'an City today, in order to escort the king of Beiliang into Beijing, but after Xu Xiao saw the old monk in black, he insisted on walking into the city, so this scene appeared, Xu Xiao walked side by side with him and went to the palace gate.
Xu Xiao, dressed as a rich man, put his hands in his cuffs, strolled leisurely on the main axis of the capital, and said with a smile: "Yang Taisui, I heard that you accepted a retreat disciple and ran to the Shangyin School Palace? Also, the Fu General Red Armor was summoned by your apprentice, right? I'm very curious about how there are five more Fu generals in red armor at this time, you old bald donkey, what are your insidious plans? What's the matter, you're still messing with me? You little chicken belly, just like a girl, didn't you just promise you not to kill those 600 scholars? We have been friends for decades, so if you don't want to, don't you want to?"
The black-clothed monk said in a stern manner: "It's none of my business. ”
Xu Xiao squinted at the somewhat unfamiliar weather in the capital that he hadn't seen for many years, and pouted: "Give me a thorough understanding, is that kid the illegitimate son of that one?"
The old monk frowned, he was already fierce and bitter, more and more hideous, not angry and self-assured, walking in the crowded city, but under the guidance of the old monk, no one could get close to him and Xu Xiao, like a slippery fish swimming in the aquatic grass.
Xu Xiao smiled: "If the bald donkey doesn't deny it, I should get the answer." ”
The black-clothed old monk still didn't explain or refute, and his mood was not wavering. Xu Xiao quipped: "Yang Tai Sui, Yang Tai Sui, sometimes I admire you, the king is like a tiger, as long as you live for another twenty or thirty years, you are expected to assist the dragon and the three dynasties, all of them are willing to treat you as a bodhisattva, and then look at Longhu Mountain, in order to consolidate the status of the national teacher, do everything, there is an old guy who fights to two Jiazi Yangshou don't want it, and even uses it to change his life against the sky, what about you, don't do anything, eat fasting and chant Buddha all day long, think the capital is boring, so go out of the city and take a walk, this is the day of the gods." Bald donkey, when are you going to meet my eldest son, Feng Nian? He is different from me, he believes in Buddhism, maybe you can talk about it. ”
The old monk shook his head and reminded softly, "It's here." ”
At the end of the road, you can see the gate of the Imperial City due south.
When the dynasty was in the morning on the tenth day of the law, but the early dynasty had begun, Xu Xiao came a little late, and there were only chariots, horses, and slaves parked outside the door, and he couldn't see any court dignitaries.
The first gate of this imperial city, three que, huge eaves heavy ridge, left and right each have a pair of white jade lions, a pair of dismounted tablets, the door is hung with a couplet of the founding university scholars, "the sun and the moon are bright, the mountains and rivers are majestic". There are one hundred and ten corridor rooms on the left and right sides of the north of the door, known as the thousand-step corridor, even the eaves pass through the ridge, the arch guards the Baohe Palace, that is, the Jinluan Palace in the mouth of the people.
The black-clothed old monk Yang Taisui sighed and said, "You are dressed like this to go to the court?"
Xu Xiao said with a smile: "I went to the carriage to change my clothes, I didn't have a chance to wear them in Beiliang, I have been pampered and have gained a lot of weight over the years, I don't know if it fits or not, if I can't wear it, it will be troublesome." ”
The old monk had a rare headache and helpless expression.
Xu Xiao smiled and walked towards a carriage with only a few servants of the palace, and the iron cavalry under Wang Qi naturally could not be brought to the root of this imperial city wall. The black-clothed Yang Taisui did not move, still standing outside the door, with a gloomy expression. At that time, he was still a monk seeking fame, Xu Xiao had already broken out of Jinzhou with six hundred black armor, he gave advice to the first emperor, Xu Xiao was the pioneer of the first emperor, one article and one martial arts, complementing each other, at that time, the first emperor regarded the two of them as right-hand men, and climbed up to the Baohe Hall to drink together in that gate, and talked about the big things in the world together under the moonlit night, Xu Xiao didn't read much, he would always be forced by them to chant poetry, rough and cheesy, and he was laughed at every time, and he lay down wantonly after getting drunk, who pillowed whose arm, it didn't matter, the last time he got together, it was Xu Xiao who destroyed Western Chu and returned to Beijing to be crowned the Great Pillar State, just talking to each other, and then there was no unscrupulous back then。 After that, he no longer participated in politics, but only talked about Zen and poetry.
After that, he was instructed by the emperor to have a parting wine with Xu Xiao.
This made the Qingqi woman enter the palace alone, with a sword and a white shirt. Since then, he has no face to see Xu Xiao.
Xu Xiao was not far from the carriage, a carriage galloped over, driving the groom sweaty, Xu Xiao waved his hand and signaled Han Laoshan, the fellow disciple of the spear fairy Wang Xiu, not to care, and sideways to avoid the hooves of the two high-headed horses, just signaled a master raised by the palace to go to the car to get a robe that had been prepared for a long time, and was ready to put on it to enter the palace and enter the early dynasty.
It's just that in response to the sentence that Ma is good at being ridden and being bullied, Xu Xiao didn't mind the carriage collision, but the groom who came out of the powerful mansion thought that this hunchbacked old man was in the way, and regarded him as a non-long-eyed slave of an official in the court, and the master in the car had delayed the early dynasty because of his physical condition, and he urged all the way, and he was scolded countless times, of course, his mood was terrible, and he raised the whip to smash people in a fit of anger, Xu Xiao laughed, without any action, Han Mushan grabbed the horsewhip, ripped off the groom, stepped on his chest, clicked, and directly stepped on two ribs。
On the carriage, a middle-aged Confucian man wearing a four-grade Yunyan civil official court uniform walked down, and when he saw the domestic servant suffering a tragic disaster, he was furious, and then saw that the old man's face was very angry, and he didn't care about Sven, and scolded, basically angrily reprimanding whose subordinates dared to commit arrogance outside the imperial city, pointing to Xu Xiao's nose and asking him to report the name of the official in the palace, and when the next court was going to impeach the emperor in person, he was arrogant.
This Confucian scholar is in the fourth grade, the same level as the state pastor, the prince's left concubine, is the eye-catching East Palace Qinggui position, this is not enough, his father Liu Binzhong is a scholar of the East Pavilion, an important minister of the two dynasties, the pole of the civil official honor of this dynasty is the three halls and three pavilions, although the East Pavilion is at the end, but the three halls and three pavilions are not full, plus the Wuying Palace, Wenhua Palace, Wenyuan Pavilion There are only four in total, Liu Binzhong is one of the four, it can be described as an extraordinary honor, plus his brother Liu Tiren is a doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, the father and son are officials in the same dynasty, and they are passed on as beautiful talks. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't dare to casually talk about impeachment outside the gate of the imperial city, after all, the officials who could participate in the early dynasty were not ordinary people.
Xu Xiao looked at the fourth prince Zuo Shuzi spitting there, laughed at it, and a servant jumped out of the carriage with a package, and untied the back road out of the corner of the court uniform, the Confucian official of the Liu family glanced at it, and was subconsciously stunned, the old man in front of him is still not an official? But civil and military generals, I have never heard of such a style of official uniform? In the world, official uniforms are far more difficult than the scale of mansions, and they are not allowed to be "usurped." Once they are exposed, they will be imprisoned and distributed. When the package was completely opened, the left concubine of the East Palace, surnamed Liu, completely widened his eyes, python robe?
The python robe has been like a dragon since ancient times, and the dragon robe of the Ninety-Five Emperor is comparable, but minus one claw. Embroidered with the dragon robe in general, "Jiangya seawater". This dynasty clearly said that only the prince can embroider nine python five claws, only the royal family can use the bright gold yellow and apricot yellow color, the dragon python has bent standing water, standing water, standing and lying three river water, standing and lying five river water, lying down five postures, which level should be used which posture and there are strict regulations, and the whole lying water is the most respectful, known as the dragon.
The surnamed Liu watched the old man put on a python robe under the service of his subordinates, and swallowed his saliva.
Tuan dragon python clothes.
Nine dragons and five claws, even one more claw than the great general Gu Jiantang!
Count with your fingers, how many kings with different surnames are there in the dynasty?!
The old man put on the only python robe in the dynasty, showing that he was going to go to the court, and what's more, in addition to wearing this terrible python robe, he also took a knife.
Who can go to court with a sword?!
Even if the surname Liu is an idiot, he knows who the old man in front of him is!
Xu Xiao, King of Beiliang.
After the hunchbacked old man put on the luxurious python robe, he wore a beiliang knife and walked straight to the south gate of the imperial city.
The left concubine knelt on the ground with a thud, and no longer had the idea of going to court, just kowtowed there desperately, and a pool of blood came out of the stone slab.
Xu Xiao, who was dressed in a python robe, walked into the imperial city.
The hole in the city gate was a little dim, and after walking out, Rentu shielded himself from the warm sunlight and squinted at the big hall.
The two platoons of lieutenants in front of him and behind him knelt on the ground in unison.
One by one, the eunuchs opened their voices and shouted, "King Beiliang is in the palace!"
The hunchbacked old man walked slowly with a slight limp, as if he didn't care that there was His Majesty the Emperor, Zhang Julu, the first assistant, Gu Jiantang, the general, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces waiting bitterly.
He silently counted his steps, and finally climbed the stairs, glanced back at the city gate, smiled, and said to himself, "Old." "My QT room is open!Beacon Opera Princes Official QT Room No. [1655]
