Chapter 13: The Battle of the Dragons Section 68 The Immortal Monarch Enters Zheng (9)
Chapter 13 Dragon Battle, Section 68, Immortal Jun Enters Zheng (9)
The more Narcissus thought about it, the more indignant she felt. 【】
However, her indignation could only be hidden in her heart.
Along the way, I could only watch Zheng Guo's civil and military affairs everywhere he passed, and the pomp and circumstance became more and more luxurious and grand.
Every time you pass through a city, you will inevitably be retained, and at least one meal, a glass of wine, no matter what, is indispensable. Otherwise, the officials who greeted them would absolutely refuse to give way, lest they miss the opportunity to make friends.
Large and small cities, how many officials greet them, and how many pomp and banquets.
Originally, the journey took five days as fast as five days and six or seven days as slow, but it took 10 days to complete one-third of the journey
Only then did Narcissus know that there were so many officials of all sizes in Zheng Guo. In the past, she grew up in Dongli City, and she still felt that Dongli City was a great official. Along the way, I found out that there were many officials like the city guards in the east and left the city, not to mention that they could not be compared with the Northern Monarch, even the commander-in-chief of the dead soldier battalion, Wang Ka, did not take those city guards in his eyes, and even disdained to fake them.
Narcissus also knew that no matter how inconspicuous the small town was, there were also beautiful and shining women. The stunners invited by those officials at the banquet didn't know where to go, specifically to please Beijun. Obviously, they all know that Beijun has a romantic name, so they do what they like.
Some women are even glamorous, which makes her secretly comparative. Only then did she realize that the appearance she relied on did not have the absolute advantage she originally thought. Although none of the beautiful women found by those officials along the way could accompany Beijun, along the way, Narcissus himself did not have a room with Bu Jingxian.
"Everyone in the world says that Beijun is lustful, is it fake?"
When he left Rongcheng on this day, the city guard of Rongcheng really prepared a lot of financial gifts.
Everyone in the camp of the dead who accompanied them had one.
And Narcissus got more.
She is smart, every time she collects money and gets into the carriage, she will tell her the number of immortals.
"Lord, the city guard of Rongcheng sent three thousand taels of silver. As she spoke, she took the ledger and wrote it down.
At first, she pretended to panic, and listened to the fairy who said, "If they give it, you can take it." If we don't accept them, we will think that we have been offended by poor hospitality, and we will be panicked and uneasy. ”
Narcissus did not refuse to come after that, and prepared an account book to record the silver taels, ostensibly to keep accounts for Beijun, but in fact he wanted to keep it for later as evidence of bribery.
After passing through Rongcheng, when passing through the small city of Zhongli, everyone saw that there were only a dozen officials who came to respond, there was no garrison, and only more than 30 government officials responsible for public security in the city were unhappy.
Everyone in the camp of the dead was secretly unlucky.
I don't think there's much to be gained. ’
Sure enough, there was no decent restaurant in the city, and Zhong Licheng City Shouli invited everyone to eat and drink for several weeks. But when everyone in the Dead Soldier Camp saw that there was no good food on the table at all, and that the wine was also locally produced and drank ordinary goods, they all frowned.
To Narcissus' surprise, this is the only town that has not invited a beautiful woman to accompany the drink.
And when they were leaving, the city keeper gave money to the people as usual.
Someone in the dead camp opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but throw his hand angrily and smashed the red envelope into Zhong Licheng's face.
"Is it called Hanako?"
As soon as the dead man scolded, the others opened the red envelope one after another, and when they saw that there was only one penny of silver in it, they all threw it back with a sneer, and stacked it on the ground of the street.
Narcissus also got into the car at this time and said to the step of the immortal, "Lord, Zhong Licheng City is really rude, and he actually gave ten taels of silver."
When Bu Jingxian heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, and he knew the anger of the people in the dead camp outside, so he said with interest, "Call Zhong Lichengshou over to speak." ”
In a moment, the young city guard was ordered to come over and bow down to the carriage.
The dead man who drove the car lifted the curtain, stepped out with a frightened immortal probe, and looked at the city guard, "One penny of silver, ten taels of silver." What does it mean to be a castle guard?"
The man was obviously a little scared, but his tone was still calm, he kowtowed, and asked for sin, "Beijun atoned for his crimes, it's not that the lower officials don't know how many conventions." It's really that the lower officials don't have much money to give. There has been no corruption or bribery among the officials of the city, and there has never been any crime with the people, let alone abuse of power. These Fengyin were taken out by the lower officials and the officials of the city from their own money, and the remaining ten officials of the city had to tighten their belts to survive, so they could barely make up for it. ”
"It turned out to be a Qing official. "It's funny. Xuan asked again, "There is a custom of serving silver along the way, if you are the only one who is like this and does not express it, what will the other officials who give enough money think? How can they calm the anger of these masters of the dead soldier camp? Since you are a clean official, then this gentleman wants to exchange your face for the dignity of this monarch and the anger of the people, I think you are willing, and you will be punished alone, so that the people of Zhongli City will be less taxed, and it should be worth it, do you say yes?"
The man's face was full of cold sweat with fright, but he still bowed down and kowtowed unswervingly, "Any punishment, the lower officials will bear it."
"Good Benjun appreciates your integrity. After stepping into the fairy, he raised his voice and said, "Zhong Licheng has a number of rudenesses, and he will be beaten with a cane twenty as a punishment." ”
When the people of the dead battalion were about to make a move, Bu Jingxian said, "We still have to hurry, and the arrest handed over to Zhong Licheng will be executed quickly, if you dare not really fight, it will be the crime of bullying the king." ”
After saying that, he sat back in the car, and everyone continued to set off with hatred.
The bell Belvedere City Guard knelt down and shouted, "Thank you Beijun for your kindness"
Narcissus only felt that he couldn't understand Beijun's thoughts, and felt that it was clearly an intentional light punishment, just for the sake of both sides.
"Zhong Licheng is responsible for twenty canes, write it down. ”
"Yes. "Narcissus didn't know why, so he had to do as he was told. I suspect that he is looking for an opportunity to rectify it in the future, but he doesn't feel like it.
The news of Zhong Lichengshou spread, and he was laughed at by Zheng Guo's officials. Naturally, there are also soldiers and civilians who think that Beijun is hateful, and even openly ask for bribes.
After a month's journey, we finally arrived in Zhengdu on this day.
The forbidden army of Zhengdu Palace, which was waiting outside the city early, lined up on both sides of the road from outside the city to the palace.
The people of Zhengdu had been victimized, and they all hated and were curious about the demon Beijun, and they were all crowded to look at the side of the street.
King Zheng had already gotten up early in the morning, earlier than ever.
At first, the civil and military officials waited in the main hall of the early dynasty, and after waiting for a long time, King Zheng felt anxious and felt that he was not thoughtful enough. He led the civil and military officials to the gate of the palace to greet him, and after waiting for less than half an hour, King Zheng still felt that it was not thoughtful enough. He also ordered to greet him at Nanbu Street in front of the palace gate.
Zheng officials dissuaded one after another, but King Zheng insisted on going his own way.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour on Nanwu Street, King Zheng ordered to wait at Zhongtong Street.
The opposition of the officials was even more intense, and they all felt that King Zheng treated Beijun too politely, but they couldn't resist King Zheng's insistence.
It continued to move forward, and finally moved to the gate of the East City
Every time they moved forward, Zuo Shuchang and Ling Luo couldn't help but look at each other worriedly. Every time King Zheng moves forward, it shows that his attention and trust in Beijun are beyond everyone's estimates.
The dignified king of a country went to the gate of the city to greet a king.
Zheng Guo's officials were all angry.
When he finally saw Beijun's car appear outside the south gate, King Zheng couldn't wait to open the yellow brocade curtain and look at it.
"Fast, fast, fast"
The musicians in the palace played the music one after another, and it was still the "Triumph" to welcome the king.
The rhythm is layered, the waves are like ocean waves, surging endlessly, and full of battlefield killing.
When Bu Jingxian stepped out of the carriage outside the city gate, he saw King Zheng from afar, smiling. Striding straight through the city gate, he stopped in front of King Zheng's car amid the shouts of Zheng Guo's civil and military forces.
King Zheng had already gotten out of the car at this time, strode over excitedly, and pressed his palms on the shoulders of the immortal.
"Beijun has finally come, this king has been looking forward to this day, and I have been looking forward to it for a long time"
Bu Jingxian laughed, and said in a long voice, "I originally thought it would bring trouble to King Zheng, but one day my soul was suddenly touched, as if I sensed the call of an invisible force, and I just felt that I had to come to Zheng."
Bu Jingxian had already prepared this sentence and said, knowing such a scene, this word would inevitably be widely spread. At first glance, it doesn't sound like anything. But when the people of the Divine Soul Kingdom know about it, they will inevitably think that the demon soul that bent over his left bank is Zheng Guo's ghost, and in the future, not only will they not regard him as a stain on serving the fallen king, but they will hate Zheng Guo's despicable methods with hatred of the enemy.
However, when King Zheng heard this, he was very happy.
"This king knows, he knows that Beijun will understand this king's mind, let's go, let's go back to the palace to eat and drink."
As he spoke, King Zheng pulled the step into his car.
Zheng Guo's civil and military affairs who came with him all changed color, and Bu Jingxian was also busy saying, "There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, so it is impossible." ”
Ling Luo was the leader, and the civil and military officials said in unison, "The monarch and the minister are different, and the northern monarch can't get on the car." ”
When King Zheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "The Northern Monarch and this King are both the kings of Zhou Tianzi's edict, how can the monarch and the ministers have a different saying, Zheng Guo has the Northern Monarch, the day of unifying the world is not far away, and the day when the Northern Monarch will win the world, this king will share it with it From today, the Northern Monarch is the regent of Zheng State, and the throne is no different from this king, living in the palace, setting up three palaces and six courtyards, and the prime minister is a major military and political event. Up to the prime minister, down to the nine officials, have the right to remove, all Zheng people, see it as if they see this king, need to be careful to obey the courtesy of the monarch and ministers"
King Zheng said, he didn't pay attention to the pale and silent situation of the civil and military officials, and only pulled the step to the fairy on the lane, "This king has already said that he is willing to share the world with Beijun." Only in this way can Beijun's peerless talent have room to display...... Hey, Beijun, don't say anything that is useless, with Beijun's ability, it is just a matter of raising your hands to make a contribution. If there is no room to display one's talents, how can we build up meritorious deeds? You and I have been separated for a long time, don't talk about these things today, people say that wine is less than a thousand cups for a confidant, and the last time this king was tired for a day, he was unable to drink a thousand cups. Today, the king has already prepared, and he must drink enough wine with Beijun for a thousand cups."
At this moment, Bu Jingxian held his mouth stiffly, with a smile on his face.
But my heart was disturbed by an inexplicable emotion and couldn't calm down.
He was very reluctant to admit that the emotion seemed to be a kind of emotion.
