Chapter 31: A Visitor to the Imperial City

Seven days later, outside Maple Leaf City, the city guards were interrogating the origin of the four strangers. It's just that a few people are unwilling to identify themselves, and they are unwilling to go to the household registration yamen to apply for temporary identity certificates. From their outfits, it can be seen that the identities of several people are quite extraordinary, and the guards guarding the city are a little embarrassed, so they have to explain to a few people while calling someone to notify the commander of the guards.

I saw that one of the old men was about seventy or eighty years old, in good spirits, his eyes were bright, and he was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the guards' inquiries, exuding a majesty that was difficult for ordinary people to reach. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, with a face like a crown of jade, holding a folding fan in his hand, and his expression was quite high-minded, but he wanted to open his mouth several times, but was stopped by the old man's eyes. Two men of about forty, not amazing, dressed in strong suits, thick calluses can be seen between the palms of their hands, standing quietly beside the old man and the young man, looking around defensively, with a cold look in his eyes.

"I am the commander of the guards of Maple Leaf City, can you identify yourself? What is the purpose of coming here? If you need to live permanently, can you follow me to the household registration yamen to apply for a household registration certificate?"

The old man looked at the commander of the guards, and saw that he didn't mean to embarrass himself, but it was inconvenient to reveal his identity, so he spoke: "We are here to visit relatives in Maple Leaf City, and this identity is not easy to reveal casually, but can you tell us about this identity system? I don't seem to have heard that this system is implemented in the empire?

The commander of the city guard thought to himself, maybe they really had something unspeakable, and they didn't look like villains when they were dressed, so he secretly gave his subordinates a look, and the corners of his mouth squirmed, clearly asking his subordinates to notify the eldest prince in the merchant building to come over. He felt that this identification system was not confidential, so he called his subordinates to bring a few stools, arched his hand, and invited the old man to sit down by the city gate, and introduced them.

I saw that the guard commander looked at him with a look of memory, and he pondered for a while before he said slowly: "If you want to talk about this identity system, you have to start from a week ago, when the eldest prince just walked out of the commercial building, a group of Mai people rushed over...... Later, the city lord's palace issued a notice to implement an identity identification system throughout the city...... This identification system mainly combines the individual's place of birth, time of birth, and time of registration ......"

"What a clever system! What a powerful system! Not only can we prevent bandits who commit crimes, but we can also clearly and clearly understand the population dynamics of each place. The empire has the best reference for what policy it wants to implement!" The old man's heart churned, as if he remembered something, but he asked: "This big prince, there is nothing wrong, right? What kind of villain is so bold that he dares to assassinate the children of the royal family in Maple Leaf City?" There was a touch of concern in his tone, mixed with some coldness.

The commander of the city guard heard that this concern was for his own prince, and this coldness was aimed at the villain, so he replied truthfully: "The eldest prince is fine, it is said that the gangster who assassinated this line was sent by an organization called the Assassin Heaven Alliance, and this Assassin Heaven Alliance is all strong in martial arts, specializing in assassinating geniuses. ”

"What kind of bullshit stabbing the Heavenly Alliance, it wasn't killed in the end, and if it wasn't your eldest prince, it would be fine! And your identity certificate system is a waste of time and embarrassing. Hey, this is Lu Yin, let us in quickly!" The young man was already impatient, thinking that he blamed his grandfather for not wanting to reveal his identity and what kind of secret visit he was going to make, so he was stopped outside for a long time. At this time, as soon as he had the opportunity, he crackled and vented.

"You ......" the leader of the city protector is about to speak, needless to say, this Piercing Heaven Alliance is powerful, he has personally understood it, if it weren't for the little prince, he would still be lying in bed now. And this identity certification system, after many days of promotion, has achieved fruitful results, and now a hairy boy dares to make a big statement, how can he not go up to refute it. It's just that as soon as he said your word, the old man's voice reached his ears.

"Fu'er, step aside!" was quite stern in his tone, obviously dissatisfied with his grandson's previous performance. The young man seemed to be a little afraid of the old man, and as soon as the old man's voice fell, he stepped aside, but the disdain between his expressions could not be concealed. For a moment, there was a brief silence.

"Who is so bold as to dare to resist the orders of the City Lord's Mansion?" Zhao Ren's voice came from far and near, and he himself quickly arrived at the city gate, but when he saw the old man's appearance clearly, he said in shock for a while: "Emperor... Grandpa, are you the emperor's grandfather?" His family has a portrait of his grandfather, and when he thinks of his father's explanation a few days ago, he finds out the identity of the old man and his party. Because his grandfather was the emperor of Zhao State, he called him the imperial grandfather. When I saw it, I hurriedly saluted. Then he arched his hand to the young man: "Hello imperial brother!"

The old man showed a trace of kindness, and saw that his grandson was not only heroic and extraordinary, but also polite to others, so he gave birth to a little closeness, and said kindly: "This is Ren'er! Your family has suffered in this remote place all these years!" and then pulled the young man next to him and introduced: "This is your uncle's son Zhao Fu." He also introduced to Zhao Fu: "Fu'er, this is your second uncle's eldest son Zhao Ren." ”

Zhao Fu raised his head and replied tepidly: "Hello imperial brother!" He was born in the imperial city, he felt that he had the best resources, received the best education, and enjoyed the flattery of others, so he had a little contempt for his cousin born in this remote place. Seeing his grandfather's closeness to him, his heart was a little more sour.

The old man is the former emperor of Zhao State, Zhao Changkong, and now he is the elder of the Imperial House of Elders, and he is quite satisfied with his two sons, the eldest son is now the current emperor and governs the empire in an orderly manner. Although the second son is in a remote city, he is excellent in every assessment. Let the other royals have nothing to say about them in high positions. It's just that I'm a little worried about this eldest grandson, who grew up in a honey pot since he was a child, and has developed an arrogant and mean character. Originally, I brought him out this time, but I also wanted to teach him by word and deed, hoping to make him change his temperament, but the effect was unsatisfactory.

Zhao Ren didn't care about Zhao Fu's performance, after the experience of Tianhe Kingdom, his ability has grown a lot, and his mind is more open-minded, seeing that his grandfather and his party have been delayed for a lot of time, he ordered a guard to inform his parents that his grandfather has arrived, and then said to the old man: "Grandpa Huang, brother Huang, let's go back to the palace to rest first!"

Zhao Fu was lazy, and there was a hint of fierceness in the corners of his eyes, but he said to Zhao Ren: "It should have been like this a long time ago, but just now these guards actually stopped us from entering, I think he should be dismissed, and each of them should be beaten fifty boards, so that they can learn a lesson, this is too blind!"

When the guards heard this, a cold sweat broke out on their faces, this time they offended the prince, I'm afraid this board is indispensable, but they have to rely on this position to support their families, but they can't lose it, so they have to kneel down and plead. Zhao Ren was the first to say: "Brother Huang, this can't be as you wish, this is an order issued by the City Lord's Mansion, and they are also doing things according to the rules, not only is it right, but it is meritorious!"

"Look, this is the difference, what kind of bullshit prince, not even one percent of our prince!" The guards saw that their prince had blocked them for a few of them, and the horror on their faces decreased slightly, and they naturally compared the two in their hearts.

Zhao Fu thought to himself: "What kind of cousin is this, he doesn't even give me this face, and he embarrass me." "I was going to order the guards to take down a few of the guards. Zhao Changkong couldn't stand it anymore, and raised a few tones: "Fu'er, how did you explain it when you came out?" but he roared in his heart: "This is the difference, even if you use resources to pile up a city lord for him in the future, you will have to be defeated by him, if you succeed the emperor, it will not be the blessing of the empire!" After looking at Zhao Ren a few times, he said slowly: "I'm also tired, let's go back to the palace first!"
