Chapter 68: Return to the Palace
Wu Song disregarded his own safety and helped Zeng Hao, Pan Jinlian and Zhao Shiyu escape, but he was left behind by Feng Gui's group, and his life and death were unknown.
Along the way, Zeng Hao didn't say a word, and his expression was very gloomy.
Although he is a time-traveler, after getting along with Wu Song day and night these days, he has long regarded Wu Song as his own brother.
If something happened to Wu Song in the Guogong Mansion, Zeng Hao swore that regardless of the consequences, he would lead all the Liangshan heroes who were now summoned to set foot in the Guogong Mansion!
Zhao Shiyu saw that Zeng Hao's expression was so gloomy, and he didn't dare to call him a dog slave anymore, but gently poked his shoulder with his finger and asked, "Hey, what kind of people were those people just now, they dared to be so arrogant in broad daylight!" ”
"The people of the Guogong Mansion." Zeng Hao replied in a cold voice.
Zhao Shiyu exclaimed: "Guogong Mansion? That's not my grandfather's house! ”
"Your grandfather?"
"Yes, Liu Guogong is my grandfather. This group of dog minions actually dares to use my grandfather's name to cause trouble everywhere, and when I return to the palace, I must tell my father, and let my father tell my grandfather to punish them well! ”
After speaking, Zhao Shiyu patted Zeng Hao's shoulder again and comforted him: "Don't worry, since you are from my grandfather's mansion, your brother will definitely be fine." ”
"I hope so."
Jiangning was not very far from Tokyo, and after Zeng Hao's non-stop hurried, they finally came to the outside of Tokyo in the evening.
As the capital of the Song Dynasty, Tokyo was the largest city annexed to four parts: the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city, and the palace city.
Needless to say the outer city, the place where the common people lived, the population was large and mixed; The inner city can be understood as the CBD area before Zeng Hao crossed over, and the people who lived here were rich and status; The imperial city is the centralized location of the central government office, such as Taiwan, temple, health, province and other institutions; Not to mention Miyagi, it is the home of Song Huizong.
The whole of Tokyo is very large, and Zeng Hao took at least an hour to take a carriage from the outer city to the inner city gate.
The soldiers at the gate of the inner city also searched very carefully, not only to check Zeng Hao's official guide, but also to check the items and people in the car.
When a soldier lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Zhao Shiyu in the carriage, he was stunned at first, then looked at it carefully, then widened his eyes suddenly, turned around and rushed over to find his commander.
It didn't take long for a tall man to walk quickly to the carriage, unfold a portrait in his hand and look at Zhao Shiyu several times, and then asked excitedly: "May I ask you, are you Emperor Linying?" ”
On the day Zhao Shiyu escaped from the palace, Song Huizong had already sent her self-portrait to the city commanders throughout Tokyo, ordering them to report it immediately if they saw Zhao Shiyu.
That's why the city guard can recognize Zhao Shiyu.
Zhao Shiyu glared at the commander: "Since you know it's me, don't you let it go quickly!" ”
The commander reacted suddenly, immediately waved his hand to let the soldiers go, and kicked the soldier who had just stopped Zeng Hao's carriage: "You dare to stop the fucking Emperor's car!" ”
The soldier's face was full of grievances, but he didn't dare to defend himself.
After letting Zeng Hao and them enter the city, the commander ordered someone to follow Zeng Hao, and then turned over his horse, took a shortcut to the imperial city, and reported the sight of Emperor Linying to Song Huizong.
Because the horse ridden by the commander was better than Zeng Hao's, and he also took a shortcut, so he soon came to the palace and told the commander of the palace about Emperor Linying, but he was told that Song Huizong went to Yanfu Palace and was not in the palace.
So the commander immediately turned his horse's head and rushed to Yanfu Palace.
Yanfu Palace is an independent palace area built by Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Yang Jian and other traitors outside the palace city at any cost in order to flatter Song Huizong.
The palace pavilions and pavilions in the palace are endless, the chiseled pond is the sea, and the spring is the lake; There are all kinds of birds, strange beasts, bronze sculptures, famous trees, strange rocks, etc., which are synonymous with luxury and luxury in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Song Huizong, who loves to enjoy, of course, likes this Yanfu Palace very much, and usually comes here to stay for a while.
Since Zhao Shiyu escaped from the palace, he has been staying in this Yanfu Palace and has not even gone to the court.
At this time, Song Huizong was drinking in the Yuying Pavilion in the palace, and his favorite concubine Liu Guifei was sitting next to him.
Drinking and drinking, Song Huizong remembered Zhao Shiyu's escape from the palace again, and complained to Liu Guifei: "When Yu'er comes back this time, I must punish her for a month of confinement!" She relies on Youzhen's favor on weekdays, and she is already lawless, and she has to escape from the palace to play at every turn, and she is not afraid of danger! ”
Liu Guifei hurriedly filled Song Huizong with a glass of wine, and excused her daughter: "The emperor is not angry, Yu'er is just playful for a while, and she will come back soon." ”
"Soon?! When was it not my people who found her, and she was forced to come back? If I don't send someone to find her, she can play outside for the rest of her life! ”
At this time, the eunuch beside Song Huizong came over with the commander of the inner city.
After the commander of the city guard saluted Song Huizong, he quickly told him about seeing Emperor Linying.
Song Huizong immediately stood up excitedly, walked up to the commander and grabbed his arms, and asked, "Where is she now?!" ”
"I've sent someone to follow the emperor all the time."
"Good, good! You've done a great job, and I'll remember you. ”
"Emperor Xie!" The Commander said excitedly.
Hearing that Zhao Shiyu had been found, Song Huizong immediately took the car back to the palace to prepare to meet Zhao Shiyu.
On the other side, Zeng Hao took Zhao Shiyu all the way to the gate of the palace city smoothly.
Originally, the gate of the palace was heavily guarded, and Zeng Hao was not a relative of the emperor, nor was he a minister of the imperial court, so it was impossible for him to come to the gate of the palace, and he would have been stopped in the imperial city as early as possible.
But because Song Huizong had urgently issued an order to let go, Zeng Hao was able to come all the way to the front of the palace with a green light.
Looking at the magnificent and tall city gate in front of him, Zeng Hao was really shocked, this was the first time he had seen the complete palace in ancient times!
The gates of the palace are extremely tall!
How tall is it?
That being said, if a person with a phobia of huge things were standing in front of the gates, he might be so frightened that he fainted.
Moreover, the city gate is all made of gold nails and vermilion lacquer, and the walls next to it are also carved with auspicious patterns such as dragons, phoenixes, and clouds.
Just looking at this city gate, Zeng Hao felt a royal pressure rushing towards him.
The guards of Miyagi had already opened the gates, and the commander of the city was waiting at the gates with two columns of guards in golden armor.
Next to the doorway was a carriage drawn by four sturdy horses.
The curved roof of the carriage is painted with gold and silver, the material of the carriage is the royal special gold silk nanmu, the curtains are also the royal special bright yellow silk, and the downward used to cover the ups and downs is wrapped with clear white jade, and even the wheels are inlaid with gold nails and wrapped in white jade.
Anyway, the whole carriage looks extremely luxurious, and the carriage Zeng Hao is riding in now is simply a world compared to it.
As soon as he saw Zeng Hao's carriage coming, the commander immediately trotted forward and said to Zhao Shiyu in the carriage: "Emperor Linying, my subordinates have come to pick you up into the palace on the orders of the emperor." ”
