Chapter 22: The Audience
Wang Yue didn't expect that Yu Ziqi would return his gift like this.
But some glass beads, a bottle of distilled high spirit, in exchange for such a master of the piano skills.
Is it worth it? It's just too worthwhile, no wonder Yu Ziqi is reluctant to give up, and he is a little embarrassed.
But he also knew that the reason why Yu Ziqi was like this was because he didn't want to owe him favors.
What is human affection? It is worthless for some people, and it is bigger than the sky for others, and it is the most difficult thing in the world to return.
Yu Ziqi is undoubtedly the latter, in his eyes, if he does not return this gift, he must serve Wang Yue, but he can't take out other property of the same value, so he can only endure the pain of cutting his love, this person knows that there is no hope for the family, and even if he wants to split the Chen State, it is the same, but he can be loyal to it to this point, and it really makes Wang Yue sigh.
"Zhang De, Steelwarrior Type I, give a set to Mr. Yu. β
Zhang De glanced at Yu Ziqi, quickly went out, and asked a warrior to bring the Steel Warrior I.
Yu Ziqi looked at the heavy armor and the matching weapons and was taken aback: "Childe, what are you?"
"How can a little wealth be compared with cleansing the heart and healing the soul... Compared with the priceless piano sound, although this set of furniture is not unique, it is also rare in the world, and it has the right to make up for the difference. Wang Yue arched his hand and said, "Just as Mr. doesn't want to owe me, I don't want to owe Mr. Yu either." β
Yu Ziqi knew what he meant, and did not refuse, and then the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and lived together all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Wang Yue went to the royal city of Dongyi under the leadership of Yu Ziqi.
At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and half of the pedestrians on the wide street were not seen, and in the distance, you could see the red wall of the royal city at the end of the city that looked slightly dim in the obscurity... It has long been mottled and peeled off, and the green tiles on the top are also full of moss.
Stay close... A few people were not hindered in any way... Walk through the gates guarded by several listless soldiers.
Inside the royal city, as far as the eye can see... Part of the white jade bricks on the ground under the feet can vaguely see the appearance of the city's prosperity, but more have already cracked and sunken, I don't know how long it has not been repaired, countless wild grasses grow out of its cracks, in front of the main hall, on the big square, nine bronze giants that symbolize the world are neatly arranged, but the ears are occupied by birds and birds, in the distance, under the morning sunshine, the continuous palace group, in the confusion still seems to be still flickering brilliantly, in the indescribable infinite desolation and coldness, vaguely telling the supreme nobility of the past, this is the royal city in Dongyi, the place where the Son of Heaven lives, once the early morning of the holy land of high kingshipγ
Along the way, Yu Ziqi led the way with a frown, and led Wang Yue through the Dingjian and stepped up the ninth-level white jade steps.
Wang Yue thought that he was going to take himself to the main hall, but he saw that the main hall in front of him was like a dark and dilapidated ancient castle, and through the half-pulled poured gate, you could see the cobwebs inside, which deeply shrouded the bronze throne that the princes and ministers worshiped in the past.
From time to time, the bat flew silently inside.
It seems that the Son of Heaven has not been in court here for decades or even longer.
"Childe, come this way. Seeing that Wang Yue stopped, Yu Ziqi beckoned and walked from the gate of the main hall to the east side on the right.
Arrive at the east side of the hall, the situation is slightly better, the road ahead, the courtyard has been repaired, it's not like the front... The empty and dilapidated palace, like the place where the ghost king lives, exudes a rotten smell during the day, which is too gloomy and terrifying.
The generally timid people may not dare to spend the night in this palace.
Yu Ziqi asked Wang Yue to wait in front of the side hall, and entered first along the gate where no one was waiting, and it took a long time to come out to greet Wang Yue.
At this time, the legendary supreme son of heaven was wearing a regular crown of twelve chapters, and he was already seated in the hall of the side hall, but under the crown, he looked like a young man... The eyes on the fat head were blurred, but it looked like he hadn't woken up, and the old man who was the master of the ceremony yesterday and a few important ministers who should be the only ones in the room who could do things shook their heads and said nothing, obviously feeling that the Son of Heaven had lost face in front of Wang Yue.
Yu Ziqi couldn't help but be angry and funny, and he bowed his hand to Wang Yue as if to apologize, and then strode up to the palace and walked to the Son of Heaven.
He whispered: "My king, wake up, my king, wake up." β
The chubby Son of Heaven trembled, Hua Zhang's round belly shook sharply a few times, opened his eyes, looked at Yu Ziqi, yawned, and said: "It's the doctor, what did you say just now, how did you fall asleep and come to the palace." β
Yu Ziqi frowned tightly and said, "My king, it is the monarch of the Snake Yu Kingdom who is about to restore the country in Jidi recently. β
"Restore the country, Snake Yu Guojun?" Fat Tianzi suddenly perked up and said, "I remember, it was the Snake Yu son who solved my debt last time." β
Nan Zhong Liwen and the others shook their heads and sighed again and again, Wang Yue didn't get angry when he saw it, he just watched a comedy, and he should come to see the twilight of the Dacheng Dynasty before the rise of the Snake Yu Kingdom. β
"Hooray. The fat man tried his best to press his hand on his stomach, smiled and spoke, vaguely self-deprecating: "What a ear." He also said: "I heard that the doctor said that the snake Yu Gongzi is about to return to the country, it is really gratifying, Doctor Shang, where did you just say that the snake Yu Gongzi will return to the country?"
"My king is the land. Yu Zi said.
"Drawing land?" Fat Tianzi was puzzled and said, "Isn't that Cai Guo's territory?"
Yu Ziqi said: "A few months ago, the commander of the Huaishang Five Kingdoms Alliance Army of 3,000 took the north to defeat Cai Guo, and recovered the land of the old Cai State ceded Huaishang. β
The land snatched from Cai Guo's hands? The fat man couldn't help but be speechless.
What's going on in this world, when I woke up from a drunken dream, there was a snake Yu Gongzi in the world, and then there was one more snake Yu Guo in the world, and the territory was still snatched from the hands of the big country Cai Guo, but the snake Yu Gongzi is so young, and now he has made such a feat, and I don't know if there is a limit to the future in the future.
Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart, and said to Wang Yue: "The son of Snake Yu is really amazing, the world has never heard of the destruction of the country, but he has never heard that anyone can restore the country, or the territory taken from the hands of Cai Guo and other big countries, and this kind of achievement can only be compared with the ancestor Wu Wang." β
"How can I be like me, I can only guard this royal city and wait for death, and I can't even eat together... Alas... Don't talk about it. β
Yu Ziqi said: "My king does not have to be presumptuous, the snake Yu Gongzi was almost alone a year ago, but he can work hard to improve himself, start from scratch, in a short period of time according to a country, revive the snake Yu country, there is a great achievement, the future is even more limitless, and now I still have a territory that does not go down to the land, five or six hundred thousand people, than the snake Yu Gongzi started not knowing how much stronger, as long as my king can also improve himself, there is still hope for Zhongxing." β
"The hope of Zhongxing?" the fat Tianzi shook his head and said: "What hope do I have for Zhongxing in the room? Today's world is no longer the time when the past etiquette rules the world, but to rule the world with strength, just like the son of the snake Yu, the snake Yu country can be restored, because his brave army is overtaken by others, and the commander of the Huaishang coalition army is shot down with a sword and a shot, but what else do I have in addition to these useless rituals?"
"Force, am I powerful?" Fat Tianzi smiled helplessly: "Besides, even if it is powerful, what about it? To the north of my room is Chen Guo, and on the left and right are Chen Allied countries, Doctor, do you think that the room is powerful and brave?"
"If you have the strength according to the doctor's intentions, and try to prosper with the countries, I am afraid that before it is used, the army of Chen Guo will come over... There is no need for even Chen Guo's army, only any of its partial divisions, and my family will be completely destroyed. β
"So, Doctor Shang, don't say anything about ZTE anymore, just like this, there is no threat to anyone, what Chen Guo wants to do, as long as he is willing to give some face, we will all do it, so that I may be able to live in peace for a hundred years. β
"At least in my hands, the ancestral incense will not be extinguished......"
waved his hand, and said to Yu Ziqi: "Doctor, you are a national soldier, you should not die with me in this tomb in Dongyi, I am the son of heaven... If you don't keep it, you... Let's find a place where you can use your talents. β
Yu Ziqi, Nan Zhong Liwen and others were all stunned, and they only felt deeply shocked, that is, Wang Yue was impressed by this son of heaven.
Everyone only said that this Son of Heaven was a waste, but they didn't think of it at all... The fact that this fat pig-like son of heaven has such insight and such a clear understanding of the current situation of the house is not that he does not try to do anything in the middle of it, nor that he is incapable (no one told him...). But who can have this insight and cognition, how can he be incompetent) It's just that he has already seen through the irretrievable end of the Cheng Chamber, but he would rather endure the accusations, contempt, and ridicule of the heavens and kingdoms, silently bear this humiliation, and pretend to be a harmless fool for the Cheng Chamber, just to wait for the ancestral temple and the society, and try his best to continue the incense that the Cheng Chambers may perish at any time.
Yu Ziqi couldn't help but be silent for a long time, and felt the pitiful, pathetic, and infinitely desolate of this supreme royal family's desperation, and felt that a fire seemed to emerge in his heart, prompting him to burn desperately, and couldn't help clenching his fists, and bowed to the end in front of the Son of Heaven: "My Yu family has been loyal to the family for generations, how can I leave... My king must not leave my son in a land of disloyalty. β
"My king. "The old man who picked up the wind for Wang Yue yesterday was in tears in an instant, and the ministers were either choked or cried.
"What are you crying about, what are you crying about?" Cheng Tianzi didn't feel that his eyes were red, and his voice choked slightly: "Today is a day of great joy, when my room is declining, it is rare that there is a snake Yu Gongzi who remembers that I came to see me in the room, and everyone should feel happy." β
"Snake Yu Gongzi, it's really rude for me to be in the room, and it makes you laugh. β
Wang Yue didn't say much, but just bowed deeply, showing his respect.
There are too many people in this world who are difficult to see him, but by no means include this son of heaven and his loyal subordinates.
Cheng Tianzi suppressed the agitation in his heart, first returned a salute to Wang Yue, and then said: "Snake Yu Gongzi, it's rare that you still remember Cheng's room, and you can come to Dongyi to meet in person, Cheng Ji is not very grateful for this, but today, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if Gongzi is willing to listen."
