Chapter 31: The Imperial Tomb

If Chen Ping didn't know that the prince wanted to take advantage of the time when the princess was going to supervise the work to go out and spend all day drinking, then he would really be stupid.

Why is he unwell and can't go to supervise the repair of the imperial mausoleum, isn't it just to keep the crown princess busy, is he going outside to spend all day drinking, it's all a man's excuse!

That's right, more than half a month has passed since he went to Wanhualou to drink flower wine and have fun, and he hasn't walked a bird for a long time.

It's not easy for this prince to be weird, marrying such a flowery wife and still thinking about going out to spend time drinking, what do you think about in the end, are they all pretending to be paste? When she goes out at a young age, she drinks all day and wine, and her wife, who is alone at home?

Thinking of Wanhualou, Chen Ping sighed again in his heart.

He hadn't been to Wanhualou for a few days, and the reason was very simple, the day after Lu Xuan'er gave him the envelope that day, he left and left Wanhualou.

Now that people have gone to the building, Lu Xuan'er, the first person in Wanhualou, is no longer there, so Chen Ping has not been going to Wanhualou in the past few days, and he has entrusted Commander Lin to find some books on medical skills in this era to pass the time.

The purpose of his previous trip to Wanhualou was to have a relationship with Lu Xuan'er, and also to cover this little girl and prevent Nayu Culture from getting involved, but since everyone is gone, there is nothing else to do.

I have to admit that in the past few days that Lu Xuan'er has been gone, he is really a little emotional, whenever he thinks of those eight words, he is grateful for his bosom friend, Xie Jun teaches him, Chen Ping is itching in his heart, that day is the last day of meeting, and he doesn't have a parting Wen Huai or anything, he doesn't take Uncle Chen seriously.

I feel that this woman doesn't seem to be very happy in Wanhualou, and a little girl of this age should go out for a walk, travel, and scratch her head in the flower building all day long.

The matter of the crown prince's supervision was going to be the next day, and Chen Ping got up early the next day, well, it was quite early for him.

Under the Huangtian Temple, Chen Ping came to this place for the second time, this time he did not come to worship the Bodhisattva, but to find the crown princess.

said that he would come over with the princess and others today, but he didn't expect that when he slept up, everyone was gone, and there was no one in the house, even ...... The prince is gone!

Chen Ping only felt that he had been deceived, he was not taken seriously, from top to bottom, from left to right, he didn't have a sense of zĂ i, and it hurt him deeply.

So he walked alone for more than an hour.

He now finally knows why the first emperor and the emperors of all dynasties have respected this Huangtian Temple, just because the royal mausoleum is under this back mountain, which is quite blessed.

Yesterday, the prince told him that the mountain behind the Huangtian Temple is the imperial mausoleum, which is probably something that only the royal family knows, otherwise it should have spread a long time ago, so many people come to worship the Buddha every day, and the flow of people is so large.

However, it is obvious that the common people do not know that this Huangtian Temple is a royal mausoleum.

When Chen Ping came to the periphery, the Huangtian Temple swept over at a glance, and the officers and soldiers lined up horizontally, almost to the point of ten steps and one sentry, and the masses who did not know the truth gathered outside, and they were not allowed to enter within three zhang, and once they crossed it, they would be expelled.

The clothes worn by those officers and soldiers were different from ordinary officers and soldiers, and Chen Ping first remembered Commander Lin, that's right, he found that these people's clothes were surprisingly similar to Commander Lin, with silver armor and red backgrounds.

The Guards?

These three words suddenly came to Chen Ping's mind.

"Hey, what about you, don't go inside, you're running errands inside!" Suddenly, the eldest brother came sideways with a big knife on his shoulder, and his eyes were like thunder.

It is very different from the officials he saw on Chen Ping's TV, and the murderous aura revealed by these people is enough to shock the people around him.

Behind this Huangtian Temple is where the imperial mausoleum is located, where will the soldiers and horses sent out to set up checkpoints be ordinary officials.

"Big brother, I'm the prince's person." Chen Ping said with a shy face, it was really unpleasant to be left behind by the team.

The surrounding people almost barely walked over with a grin like him, where else did anyone dare to come over in this formation, the ancient people were afraid when they encountered officials, and they were born with fear, not to mention that people with a discerning eye could see that these were not ordinary officers and soldiers, what kind of military flag did ordinary officers and soldiers bring?

"The Prince's people? Hmph, what's the proof! The officer and soldier shouted, "Take the voucher out, otherwise you will take three steps forward here, and you will be decided!" ”

If you don't want to be so ruthless, in your previous life, you had to have a judge to hit a hammer to eat peanuts, this ancient sentence was decided, and sure enough, the more you live, the more you go back.

Chen Ping was embarrassed for a while, so he had to step forward and whisper: "I came with the crown princess to repair that or something, right." ”

Crash! Sonorous bang, knife holder neck!

Yes, I was stabbed again, and I came to this world, this is the second time, and the first time is Lu Xuan'er!

The cold long knife that flickered with cold light was just like that across Chen Ping's chest, and the officers and soldiers had sharp eyes, and Chen Ping didn't think that what he said was a joke.

"Certificates, if you don't have them, leave immediately!"

Chen Ping couldn't cry or laugh, where did he get the certificate, the prince is more than a half-hanger, where is there any certificate for him.

It's all to blame on the princess, she didn't call Lao Tzu when she came over, she left herself alone here at this time, neither advance nor retreat, you can't come here for more than an hour, and run back to find the prince to get the certificate.

After saying this, where is the prince free......

Just when Chen Ping was anxious, a strong figure walked in front of him.

"Let him in!" The man who came over ordered.

"Yes, Commander Lin." The soldier immediately put down his sword.

Chen Ping looked at the burly man who came and said with a wry smile: "Brother Lin, you came in time enough." ”

Commander Lin laughed and said: "I'm not coming out, I'm afraid that you will be taken away by these brothers, and the brothers are also acting on orders, and Chen Shi must be blamed." ”

The man's eyes that put the long knife on Chen Ping's neck flashed, and he was surprised in his heart, he couldn't figure out why this Lin Tongdao was so respectful to this man.

He knew who Lin Hunai, the commander of the imperial guards, was, the former commander of the guards in the palace, and now he had nothing to do with their Imperial Forest Army, but his identity was not to be underestimated, just because he was also from the Imperial Forest Army, but he was the former commander of the Ouchi guards, and the hundreds of people under his command were all elites selected from the Imperial Forest Army, one level higher than them.

So who is this kid?

Even if he is really from the Prince's Mansion, he can't afford to be treated like this by Commander Lin, unless it is the Prince, but obviously this person is not the Prince.

The arrival of Commander Lin undoubtedly helped Chen Ping solve the problem, if he hadn't appeared in time, Chen Ping really didn't know what to do.

He didn't think anything was wrong with those officers and soldiers, and he did his duty to do things for others, which should be like this at his post, and even more so for people in the army, otherwise he would really listen to you say a few words, and let you in if you are so-and-so, wouldn't it be too child's play.

"Brother Lin, didn't you plan in advance that I would come and pick me up?" Chen Ping said with a smile, this Commander Lin is indeed coincidental enough, he just came over with these two feet, and this person came on his heels.

Commander Lin smiled: "Almost, I came here with the crown princess today, I knew that you were also coming, thinking that it was almost time, I planned to come here and wait, but I didn't expect you to come earlier than I imagined." ”

Chen Ping looked puzzled and said, "You don't have anyone waiting for me in the morning." ”

Commander Lin smiled bitterly and said: "Who told you that you are still sleeping this morning, I will meet with the crown princess today, but you didn't come, she directly ordered everyone to go first." ”

Chen Ping muttered, "Why don't you call me." ”

It's really not a village official to be a cadre, this young master is half a brother of the prince.

Commander Lin rolled his eyes and said: "These are all subordinates waiting for the master, where is there a master waiting for the subordinates, you let the princess wait for you, how is this possible, if the prince is still acceptable, how can the princess wait for you." ”

Chen Ping thought about it, originally yesterday the prince said that he would come to the imperial tomb this morning, he didn't wait for the princess first, but wanted others to wait for him, in this feudal society, it is indeed impossible.

Chen Ping pouted and said, "This princess also has a temper. ”

"Shh Commander Lin hurriedly said: "Let's just say this ourselves, don't let the princess hear it, even our prince is afraid of her very much, if she hears that you make her up, she is not, there is your good fruit to eat." ”

A woman am I still afraid of her? Chen Ping was noncommittal.

Commander Lin smiled bitterly, this Chen Servant is really getting more and more incomprehensible, he didn't have much communication with this person earlier, but these times, after experiencing the investigation of the traitor and stalking Zhang's father-in-law, before he rescued his wife and children, there is no distinction between priority and subordination until now, this kind of convergence makes Commander Lin feel that this Chen Waiter is like a mystery, and he can't see through and guess.

But no matter what, Commander Lin will not betray him, even if Chen Shiyu says that the crown princess has a bad temper, he will definitely keep his mouth shut, and if nothing else, he will rush at him to save the lives of his wife and children, this is enough, he will repay this kindness sooner or later.

"Commander Lin, did you also ask the prince to come over?" Chen Ping remembered that yesterday the prince didn't seem to say that Commander Lin was also coming.

Commander Lin said with a smile: "I was called by the crown princess, I have to protect well, even if the crown princess doesn't say it, I have to ask for my life." ”。

Chen Ping was a little unhappy when he thought of this woman, and he called himself not to die, just because he didn't get up early, he didn't take him with him, this woman looked at her big breasts, but her chest was not very big.

Follow Commander Lin all the way in, and there are officers and soldiers everywhere. Even fifty meters away, there was a crowd of people, and at a glance, there were craftsmen and ordinary people, as well as some fathers-in-law dressed as eunuchs, and many characters who looked like officials, which were very lively.

Among them, the graceful woman was like a violet flowing lightly in the world, standing in the middle of the crowd.

"Who are those?" Chen Ping pointed to the people over there, most of whom he didn't know.

"Some of the officials of the Financial Department and the Imperial Forest Army, the Royal Forest Army has completely blocked the surrounding area for a mile, and not a single bird can fly in, as for those fathers-in-law, they were brought here by the eunuch." Commander Lin didn't hide much, he said everything he could say, and Chen Shiyu was not an outsider.

"Grandpa Zhang?" Chen Ping frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Why is he here?" ”

A touch of coldness flashed in the depths of Commander Lin's eyes, and he said softly: "The emperor called him over, and he also had the emperor's mausoleum repaired earlier, and he has some experience to guide him." ”

"Yes." Chen Ping smiled faintly.

Commander Lin heard the disdain in his words, and said: "Isn't this eunuch just doing something in the palace at the beginning, relying on the old and selling the old, and now he really regards himself as a character. ”

This father-in-law was sent by the emperor to take care of the prince, although he was a subordinate in the prince's mansion, he never seemed to treat himself as a person.

This person was followed by Commander Lin once at the beginning, and after learning that he had entered the eldest prince and knowing that he was tired of the eldest prince, Commander Lin had already left the bottom in his heart, and he naturally did not have much good impression of this father-in-law.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Chen Ping glanced at it and took in the full view.

In the past, most people were familiar with them, especially Commander Lin, who was on an errand by the emperor's side in his early years, and was the commander of the imperial guards, and he was naturally unimpeded all the way in Chen Ping.

When Chen Ping got closer, he saw that there was a big pit dug down more than ten meters, there were even ladders, and there were some exposed white marble, but unfortunately they were all wrapped in sand and mud, it seems that this imperial tomb was also quite large at the beginning.

The crown princess sat next to her and drank tea, and she didn't look up when she saw him coming, and she was also carrying two palace maids behind her, but she was very leisurely.

"Commander Lin, what are you bringing him over?" As soon as Zhang Eunuch saw that Commander Lin had brought someone in, he came up to ask.

Commander Lin walked up, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Zhang, Chen Shiyu was sent by the crown prince, and he also has a part in the matter of the imperial mausoleum supervisor." ”

Father-in-law Zhang snorted coldly and said, "The prince asked you to come over?" ”

Chen Ping grinned and said, "Grandpa Zhang is polite." ”

Father-in-law Zhang nodded lightly, continued to turn around, and looked at the craftsmen who were under construction.

Chen Ping and Commander Lin stood by and watched.

Every year, someone has to come to inspect the imperial tomb, and if there is a problem, you have to call someone to repair it, and today these craftsmen are to repair it, which is nothing more than pasting some dirt and brushing some wall soil or something.

"You Diao Min, don't you have long eyes, this cement soil is scattered on this road like this, let our family pass!"

"Adults are angry, adults are angry, I'll clean it up." The craftsman was genuinely afraid.

"Get out!" Father-in-law Zhang showed a touch of disgust, and as soon as he lifted his feet, he kicked over with a foot that brought out a cloud of cement soil.

The craftsman was kicked a few steps away from the kick and fell to the ground with a face splashed with countless sludge.

In this kind of construction site construction, it is normal to have cement soil, but it is a pity that this father-in-law has a habit of cleanliness that is terminally ill.

Everyone looked at it at the same time, Father-in-law Zhang's identity was there, he was the head of the eunuchs in the palace, the head of the inner house, and when he kicked it, the surroundings were silent.

Only Chen Ping walked over.

Commander Lin's eyes froze, and he saw Chen Shiyu slowly squatting down, and stretched out his hand to help the craftsman in his fifties, the craftsman's slightly hunched body was still a little trembling, and his dirty body was full of dirt.

Chen Ping's movements were very gentle and slow, he stepped into the cement and squatted down, his shoes were all soaked by the cement in front of him, and the corners of his clothes were immediately immersed in the cement soil, but he didn't seem to be aware of it at all, just wiped the dirt off the craftsman's clothes with his hands.

Commander Lin looked back at the side and was stunned for a moment.

The crown princess, who was enjoying the shade under the tree, suddenly shook her tea several times.

Gonggong Zhang's face was terrifying, like a hellish Shura.
