Chapter 73: In the Palace of the Holy Maiden
Kong Miaozhi said that the prince traveled in micro-suits, and met Baili Qi, both of them were Qilin postures at the beginning, and no one was convinced. The two gambled and fought ten times, but they didn't win or lose. In the end, Bailiqi didn't know how to think of a sentence: The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass. I came up with a particularly bad bet.
The one who can be called a stunning beauty in this imperial capital is Mrs. Ya, who was still a young lady at the time. The two designed to meet Mrs. Ya one after another. The bet is on which person can hold the beauty in the end, but in the end, both of them fell in love. At that time, the prince even did not hesitate to reveal his identity to get Mrs. Ya. I don't know why Baili Qi disappeared in the end. After becoming emperor, the crown prince gave this courtyard to Madame Ya, and occasionally came to see her, but in the end he was not recruited into the palace.
It has been rumored that the prince killed Baili Qi, but in the end, he completely broke Mrs. Ya's heart. Mrs. Ya regarded death as not entering the palace.
Mrs. Ya died at the age of twenty-nine. The garden has been empty ever since.
Wu Qi listened to Kong Miaozhi's words, and then said: "Hey, I don't know if Mrs. Ya is good or not, it's all a disaster!." ”
Kong Miaozhi said mysteriously: "This Yafeng is the place where the prince and Mrs. Ya had a tryst, and after Mrs. Ya died, the prince was alone for a while, maybe there were any treasures." ”
Wu Qi's eyes glared after hearing this: "This garden belongs to the seventh child, even if there is a treasure, it will also belong to the seventh child, the sixth child, you started early, don't take advantage of the seventh child."
Kong Miaozhi was used to messing with Wu Qi, and the first time he saw him so serious, he just said with some amusement: "Back then, Baili Qi was known as the Immortal Finger, and the ghosts and gods made by a flying knife in one hand unpredictable. I don't know what cheats are in this garden......"
Wu Qi's eyes widened again after hearing this, and then his face turned red: "Cheats? Immortal fingers? Sixth, don't lie to me! ”
Kong Miaozhi proudly hummed a little song next to him and ignored him, Wu Qi thought for a while, licked his face and said to Du Jie: "Old Seven, as an elder brother, you shouldn't take advantage of you, but you know, our master is not good at secret weapons, and the second monk and I are all unpopular moves. I ......"
Du Jie didn't know what he thought, he smiled and waved his hand and said: "I understand what the third brother means, anyway, I am not proficient in secret weapons, if you can find the secret book of Baili Qi in this elegant garden, you can take it, and be polite with me." ”
Wu Qi laughed out loud after hearing this: "In the end, it has been selected by the masters, the current realm of the seventh is different, the sixth one, hurry up, think about where the cheats will be placed." ”
Kong Miaozhi glanced at Wu Qi, saw that he was still looking at himself excitedly, and said helplessly: "I'm not Bailiqi's son, how do I know where he will put it, even if he hasn't come to Graceland, I don't know if he has let go of the cheats, it's still a long time, let's find it slowly." ”
Wu Qi also knew that what Kong Miaozhi said was right, but he really couldn't sit still. Anyway, Du Jie is not an outsider, so he didn't talk to them about anything immediately, and went to try his luck alone.
Kong Miaozhi knew that Wu Qi wanted to learn kung fu well and be embarrassed in front of Gu Wu, so he didn't say anything, turned his head and continued to ask Du Jie: "Old Seven, did Prime Minister Zuo Ban come to your Du family for something this time?" ”
Du Jie smiled bitterly on his face: "I finally know now why my grandfather doesn't want to be an official in the court, this prime minister of the left class is here to gang up."
Kong Miaozhi smiled: "I expected that this is the case, this temple is no different from the market." But the emperor is so cheap, your grandfather is estimated to come to the imperial capital soon,"
"My grandfather? How? I see, to trade me away? But why is the emperor doing this to our Du family, I read history books, those characters who have made great achievements, the emperor is eager to release the military power, but my grandfather took the initiative to release the military power, why does the emperor still want my grandfather to take up the new post. ”
"Our emperor has just ascended the throne, and it stands to reason that he should not be reckless at this time, but not necessarily, maybe this emperor has something unsure of to fight, but I'm sure your grandfather will return to the imperial capital in a few days." Kong Miaozhi said with some embarrassment
"No wonder the last time I went back to my hometown, my grandfather released the news that he had passed away, it seems that the emperor has looked for him several times, and this time because I ......"
Kong Miaozhi patted Du Jie: "Old Seven, the emperor issued an order, how can anyone disobey it, not to mention that no one thought of it at that time, don't blame yourself too much, maybe everything is just our imagination." Things haven't happened yet, who knows what will happen in the end, but now that you are Wu Angong after all, you will take out the appearance of Wu Angong, blessings and misfortunes depend on them, and misfortunes and blessings lie in wait. Enjoy it for a few days first, you look at the third, I just want to surpass the second, be simple, don't think too much. ”
Du Jie just shook his head helplessly and remained silent.
The next day, the marquis would bow to the emperor in the morning court, and Du Jie would put on his official clothes early the next day and wait quietly outside the palace for summons. Before the last court had a stick of incense, he heard the eunuchs on the left and right shouting, "Spread the Wu'an Gong Du Jie to meet you." ”
Du Jie stabilized his mind and followed the eunuch who answered. After entering the main hall, three bows and nine knocks, the mountain calls long live. Then I heard a hearty laugh, and then a person in the middle of the hall said, "Du Aiqing, hurry up." ”
Du Jie thanked the Holy Grace again and stood up. The man stepped down from the stage and took two steps, grabbed Du Jie's hand, and laughed loudly: "General Du can let me wait." When Marshal Du returned to the court, he wanted to see General Du's demeanor, but he didn't expect to finally see it today. Sure enough, it is a rare talent, come to someone, give a seat! ”
Du Jie was still thinking about how to be polite, but after hearing the word "give a seat", everyone suddenly began to whisper like a frying pot.
It is a great honor to give the seat in front of the palace, not the minister of the humerus of the court or the military general who has made great achievements, Du Jie is only twenty years old, although he has been fighting at the border, but he is still far from the seat in front of the palace. The ministers all seemed to see something different.
However, the emperor didn't seem to care, Du Jie didn't know why, when he sat down, he looked up at the little emperor in front of him, the little emperor who had just ascended the throne was only two years older than himself. But the little emperor seems to be extremely mediocre, but since the rank of the little emperor, the national fortune seems surprisingly good, the domestic chaos has almost slowly calmed down, and the war in the northwest is a major turning point not long after the little emperor ascended the throne, Marshal Du also caught this point to break the deadlock, otherwise if the northwest is dragging on for a few years, I am afraid that the entire court will be dragged down.
Du Jie saw that although the little emperor was two years older than himself, he was born with a baby face and a smile in the corners of his eyes. Although he was wearing a dragon robe, he did not have a trace of imperial majesty, and he seemed to be a hairy boy with a grinning look on his face, and the ministers on the left and right seemed to be surprised.
"Little Dugong, are you used to living in Graceland? If you don't get used to it, just move to the palace. The little emperor suddenly said with a smile at this time
Du Jie hurriedly got up and replied, "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, it is already a godsend in Graceland." ”
The little emperor nodded, beckoned him to sit down, and then said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, can you have a concert today?" ”
After asking three times, an old man who was over the age of sixteen next to him walked out hesitantly, and then said carefully: "Your Majesty, people in the green forest have arrived in Kyoto one after another in the past few days, but these people were born recklessly and do not accept education. There have been many clashes with the defenders. Minister......"
After hearing this, the little emperor waved his hand, and said to the old man with a smile: "Old Aiqing is too worried, everyone in the world is my people, I have had more contact with people in martial arts when I was the prince, and Lao Aiqing should not regard martial arts as a demon, you can take care of it for me all over the world, are you still afraid of this small river and lake." ”
After hearing this, the old man's blood surged, and he trembled and said: "Your Majesty is the foundation of the country, the old minister just wants to ask Your Majesty to take more precautions, this person in the green forest is bold and reckless, once there is any slackness in the defense of the palace, the consequences are unimaginable!" ”
The little emperor nodded: "Aiqing rest assured, with Xiao Dugong in Beijing, you can protect the palace without worry." ”
After the emperor finished saying this, countless surprised sunlight in the hall swept towards Du Jie, and Du Jie himself looked back at the emperor with an incredible face, only to see him nodding at himself with a smile. Then he said: "Since there is nothing to do today, let's retreat from the dynasty, how about Xiao Du Gong come to Kyoto and go to the state religion with me." ”
Du Jie hurriedly got up and said yes, the little emperor seemed to be very proud today, took Du Jie's hand and walked outside the hall. The dragon chariot outside the hall had been waiting for a long time, and the little emperor originally wanted to pull Du Jie to ride a pair of dragon chariots, but Du Jie had such courage to hurriedly kowtow. The little emperor saw that he was really unintentional, so he forgot it.
The state religion is located in the east of the palace, the architectural style of the whole state religion is extremely grand, even compared to the palace has been more than that, the palace of the saint of the state religion has three legendary vessels, one of which is one hundred and eight steps in front of the palace. It is said that this step is also called the immortal robbery, and the one hundred and eight steps correspond to the one hundred and eight years old of the world. People in the world ascend the immortal tribulation on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, as long as they continue to breathe, how many years can they live to which level they climb, if someone can climb this one hundred and eight steps, they are already human Rui, not in the immortal tribulation.
The emperor's dragon chariot stopped under the immortal tribulation, and the little emperor looked at this and said to Du Jie with a smile: "Little Du Gong has heard of this immortal tribulation?" ”
Du Jie had heard the two elders of black and white say that this immortal tribulation was the first step in the selection of disciples for the saintess, and anyone who was no more than a child could not enter the state religion.
The little emperor didn't wait for Du Jie to say anything and said: "I once climbed once when I was a child, and I didn't think that I was exhausted when I reached the forties, but fortunately it was not the Mid-Autumn Festival at that time, and I couldn't do it. Why don't you try it with me today? ”
