Chapter 154: The Legend of Wuling Mountain
Hearing the eunuch's words, the ministers of Dongping continued to kneel, they had already sensed the unfriendliness of the other party, according to the etiquette of the empire, those who had nothing to do with it could not kneel when announcing the decree.
The eunuch took the third holy decree and read: "Holy Decree, Dongping National Temple Priest, Guodu College Sacrificial Wine Dongfang Pingtai, has been conscientious for many years, has made great contributions to the temple and the college, cultivated countless talents, and at the same time cultivated hard, recently promoted from the third-level priest to the second-level, and ordered him to report to the Imperial Capital Temple as soon as possible to serve as the young eunuch of the Guozijian, and there must be no mistake." ”
"What...... What?" Monarch Chen Mingda was dumbfounded again, when did Dongfang Pingtai become a second-level priest, why didn't he know?
Also, Ye Yunyang's extenuating circumstances when he went to the country to supervise the country, why should he transfer Dongfang Pingtai over, Dongping Kingdom's losses are too great, he is the head of all the wizards in Dongping Kingdom, serving as the temple priest and the academy sacrificial wine, who will succeed him when he leaves? Secondly, without Dongfang Pingtai, the national power competition in five years will be one point less in terms of talent scores, Dongping Kingdom is originally a small country and a weak people, how can it be mixed in the future?
Dongfang Pingtai also felt incredible, why did he transfer himself to the imperial capital, and so coincidentally served as the young eunuch of the country.
The highest position in the Guozijian is to sacrifice wine, then the young eunuch, and then the positions of Si Ye, Xuezheng, and Doctor, and the status of the young eunuch is equivalent to that of the vice principal, and the position of the young eunuch is above 10,000 people.
But in any case, since the emperor gave the order, he only had the part to carry it out, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live." ”
The eunuch handed over the decree to the little eunuch, who then forwarded it to Dongfang Pingtai.
"When the decree is finished, you can stand up and take your leave. The eunuch said this to the monarch and the ministers with his nostrils, and walked down the steps arrogantly, leaving the Qinzheng Hall in three steps.
Wu Han hugged his fist at Dongfang Pingtai, who was still in an unknown state, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lord Dongfang." ”
"Captain Wu is polite. "Dongfang Pingtai returned the gift.
Chen Mingda was the first to stand up, walked up the steps with a lonely expression, raised his eyebrows after a few seconds, and looked at Dongfang Pingtai with a strange gaze.
Dongfang Pingtai chuckled in his heart, secretly said that it was not good, the monarch must have doubted himself, he came to participate in the early dynasty to report Ye Yunyang's withdrawal from school, who would have thought that he would receive such a holy decree, and it was him and Ye Yunyang alone, although the content was different, but they had the same result, that is, to leave Dongping Kingdom.
He felt the need to explain something to the monarch, and stepped forward and said, "Your Royal Highness, the old man ......"
"Lord Dongfang doesn't need to say much!" Chen Mingda said in an obvious mocking tone: "The widow can understand, it is normal for people to go to a high place and the water to flow to a low place, and when they meet again in the future, the widow will have to call you the young eunuch of the East." ”
Dongfang Pingtai's face changed, he didn't expect the monarch's strength to be so narrow, he didn't even give a chance to explain, he was even more disappointed in his heart, and he hugged his fists and said: "The old man doesn't dare to be, since the matter has come to this, the old man has nothing to say, so I will go back to the temple and the academy for the handover work, please rest assured, Your Highness, I will arrange everything before leaving." ”
Chen Mingda smiled and said, "Then thank you Lord Dongfang, don't send it." ”
Dongfang Pingtai frowned, and glanced at Wu Han before leaving, to be honest, he was really worried about Wu Han's future, the monarch was such a small belly, and an upright person would suffer.
Sun Chengwen had a smug smile on his face, Dongfang Pingtai's departure was a loss for Dongping Kingdom, but it was a great thing for him, he had not taken advantage of the battle with Wu Han in the past few months, it was because of Dongfang Pingtai's addition that his strength had increased greatly, and now that he is gone, Wu Han's other right-hand man Yin Falcon was removed from his official position, who else in the court dares to compete with me?
After Dongfang Pingtai left, Chen Mingda's face became extremely gloomy, first the eldest son Chen Gujun died unexpectedly, then the first talent Ye Yunyang dropped out of school, and then Dongfang Pingtai was transferred to the imperial capital, why is his luck so bad?
Only now do I remember that Ye Yunyang is a talent, but unfortunately it is too late, he has already decided one thing in his heart, that is, five years later, Ye Yunyang led the youth team all the way through the competition, maybe he can keep his ranking in the seven countries.
At this moment, hope is in vain.
He stood up angrily and hummed, "Retreat." ”
The king left quickly, and the ministers looked at each other, and just announced one thing and withdrew from the court, it seems that His Highness is very angry.
Sun Chengwen looked at Wu Han very meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Taiwei Wu, I heard that you want to support the second prince to ascend to the throne, right?"
Wu Han looked directly into the other party's eyes and said, "That's the case, the second prince has an upright temperament, unlike some people who have a bad heart, of course this Taiwei wants to support him." I have reason to believe that some people will definitely get in the way, and if there is any means, just use it, and Captain Ben will take it. ”
"So that's the case, but why does the old man have a feeling of loneliness as a master? Sun Chengwen laughed and turned away arrogantly.
On the official road leading to the imperial capital, a horse-drawn carriage is driving at high speed.
Ye Yunyang woke up from his sleep, and began to complain again: "Little county lord, why did you choose the carriage instead of flying wings when you came, the carriage is too slow, when can we get to the imperial capital?
Liu Yuying said: "Don't be whimsical, there are four of us, at least a medium-sized flying wing can sit down, although the state capital has a flying wing bureau, responsible for the transmission of intelligence and important letters, but they are all individual flying wings and the number is limited, no one can transfer it privately for any reason, this is the iron law of the empire." ”
He shrugged: "Okay, I hope that after I arrive in the imperial capital, I still have the energy to participate in the Guozijian assessment, it's almost noon, should we find a place to stop and have a good meal?"
Dongfang Yixue took out the cloth bag behind him and stuffed it into him, and said, "This is our lunch, and in the future, the lunch will be solved in the car every day, and the dinner and breakfast will be solved by the restaurant." ”
He opened the cloth bag, stared at his eyes and said: "White flour cake, it's not that I don't think it's delicious, but I'm worried that the little county lord can't swallow it, she is still in the stage of growing her body, nutrition is very important, so let's find a serious restaurant." ”
The little county lord snorted lightly, took out another cloth bag and said, "Don't worry about it, this county lord likes to eat white flour cakes very much, and as for nutrition, don't worry, we have prepared jerky." ”
He smiled wryly and said, "Well, I've decided to eat less and make up for it at dinner." ”
The reason for this arrangement is to be able to travel dozens of miles more every day and arrive at the imperial capital earlier.
After traveling more than 400 miles a day, in a small town at the foot of Wuling Mountain after evening, Gu Zhengxiang parked the carriage at the door of the inn, and the man came forward to greet him, and learned that the four of them wanted to eat and stay in the hotel, and warmly invited them into the store.
During the meal, Ye Yunyang kept hearing other diners talking about the 10,000-year-old centipede essence, so he asked one of the middle-aged people: "This uncle, what are you talking about the centipede essence?"
The middle-aged uncle is the most talkative of the diners, and when he saw a foreigner asking a question, he opened the conversation: "This centipede essence, it is said that it has been practicing the Tao for tens of thousands of years, and it will appear on the top of Wuling Mountain every full moon night, absorbing the essence of the moon to increase cultivation, and if someone accidentally goes up the mountain, it will be eaten by it." ”
"Really?" Liu Yuying hugged Xiaoqiu and refused to let go when he was eating, and said with suspicion: "How can there be a centipede with such a long lifespan, besides, who will go up the mountain at night?"
The middle-aged man swore and said: "Little girl, I swear that what I just said is all true, in our local area, the common people will never go up the mountain on the night of the full moon, only unknown tourists will do this, because after the moon rises, Wuling Mountain will be illuminated, although it cannot be compared with the day, there is no problem to go up and down the mountain and play, this is also a major scenery in our local area, and it is called Wuling Moonlit Night by the literati. ”
Dongfang Yixue put down her chopsticks and said, "I remember that there seems to be a poem that describes the moonlit night in Wuling." ”
Uncle nodded: "That's right, it's the great poet of the previous dynasty "Wuling Moonlit Night Beauty", there are many people who like this poem, they only know that the scenery here is beautiful, and then they come here, and they don't know that there are 10,000-year-old centipede essences, so they will choose to climb the mountain on the night of the full moon, and many people died in the past few years." Everyone, listen to the next sentence, don't go up the mountain after the time, it's really dangerous. ”
Liu Yuying was still skeptical, and said: "If there is really a centipede essence, why don't you ask the government to send troops to encircle and suppress it, but let it harm people." ”
The uncle was a little embarrassed to say: "It's a shame to say it, our ancestors did this very early, but every time the government sent troops to come, the centipede spirit seemed to be able to get the news in advance, and hid and did not appear, and the officers and soldiers returned in vain, and the official was very angry, and then he stopped sending troops." After the officers and soldiers left, some bold villagers thought that the centipede spirit had been scared away, so they climbed the mountain to check, but the result was that there was no return, no one was born, no one died, and no corpse was seen. ”
Seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Gu Zhengxiang said in a deep voice: "For the sake of safety, after eating, let's go back to our rooms to rest, no one is allowed to go out of the room for half a step, and continue on the road early tomorrow morning." ”
"Okay. Dongfang Yixue said very well-behaved.
Ye Yunyang nodded symbolically, thinking in his heart that if there was really a thousand-year-old centipede essence, how could he do it if he didn't know it?
Looking at the little county lord again, a pair of big eyes were rolling around, and he didn't know what the hell was going on in his heart.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, the old man said angrily, "Did you hear me?"
"I hear you. The two of them said in unison with a tacit understanding, and the little county lord swore an oath: "I will definitely listen to the master's words and rest obediently in the room, you can rest assured, I hate insects the most, and I will get goosebumps when I see centipedes, beetles and other things." ”
The old man's gaze turned to Ye Yunyang, and he hurriedly said, "I'm still a wounded, how can I go up the mountain in the middle of the night." ”
"That's pretty much it, keep eating. The old man picked up his chopsticks again and put the vegetables into the bowl by himself.
Ye Yunyang and Liu Yuying inadvertently glanced at each other, and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.
