When Princess Baomeng led the welcoming convoy into the Qinghe hunting ground, Tang Xiaohao in the carriage saw through the gap in the window that there were royal ironclad guards kneeling in black iron armor on both sides, and these ironclad guards kneeling on one knee were holding the banner symbolizing imperial power.

The big flag is printed with a golden dragon head, and there is a "Ji" word on the dragon head, and only the Ji family can draw a pattern and surname symbolizing the family on the family flag at the same time, and other major families and local forces can either use the pattern, or can only write the surname.

The Iron Guard was originally a royal guard, and at this time, the flag appeared here for no more than two reasons, either the emperor came to the Rouyuan Palace in person, or the Ji family wanted to show the imperial power.

It stands to reason that the rules of the big wedding are a fusion of the rules of Huayuan and Rouyuan, but in fact, it is mainly in accordance with the customs of Rouyuan, which is why Princess Baomeng led a team to the Tang Mansion to welcome her. Therefore, the flag fluttering here was originally supposed to be the Iron Horse Banner of the Rouyuan Tuo Si Department, but Princess Baomeng was recognized by the emperor as the imperial sister, so she should naturally be the Ji family.

Ahead, Bao Meng, who was riding a black horse, looked at the flags of the Ji family on both sides, and her heart was also very unhappy, she knew that although with her current identity, there was no problem standing under the banner of the Ji family, but the emperor was also reminding her in this way that the Ji family was the master of the world, and from now on, her Bao Meng was also a member of the Ji family.

On the hundred-step ladder outside the Rouyuan Palace, there was a person wearing royal clothes, and Bao Meng could see at a glance that it was Prince Xi, because he had a beard. It's just that Bao Meng didn't know that recently, it was not Ji Hanguang who came to visit him in Rouyuan Palace from time to time, but the emperor Ji Chengying, who pretended to be King Xi.

After Bao Meng got off the horse, she was going to kneel down on one knee to salute, but when she realized her identity as the imperial sister, she had to awkwardly think of a Wanfu, but Wanfu was halfway through, and she still gave up, because she always thought that Dao Wanfu should not be something that a Rouyuan woman could do, so she simply worshipped.

Worship is exclusively for women, and it belongs to women's Jabai. That is, kneeling with both knees together, hands to the ground without keeping the head down.

Ji Chengying, who pretended to be King Xi, walked down the steps: "Imperial sister, please come in." ”

After that, Ji Chengying deliberately whispered: "I'm not the emperor, you don't need to kneel to me." ”

Bao Meng said: "Brother Hanguang is on behalf of the emperor, and Bao Meng still knows the etiquette that should be."

Ji Chengying smiled: "Excuse me, get up." ”

Bao Meng got up, turned around and walked to the carriage, stood outside the carriage and said, "Please get out of the carriage." ”

Tang Xiaohao picked up the curtain and glanced at the treasure dream outside.

Bao Meng said again: "Horse, please get off!" ”

Tang Xiaohao came out at this time, and his posture was indecent, like a dog crawling out. This made Bao Meng frown again and again, and he was even more disgusted with this legendary disciple in his heart.

Tang Dun and the little bell stepped forward to help Tang Xiaohao get out of the carriage, Bao Meng only noticed the beautiful little bell at this time, she knew that it was the so-called personal maid, and it was also the first woman in her husband's life.

Although Bao Meng didn't like Tang Xiaohao, he was still very unhappy in his heart, but when he saw the little bell with a sad look on his face, he mistakenly thought that this beautiful girl must have been harmed by Tang Xiaohao, and could only be forced to commit to him and become his personal maid.

Therefore, Bao Meng's heart was a little more comfortable, and for a while he thought that he was connected to the little bell with the same fate.

Although Tang Xiaohao also knew what the general etiquette was, what his father at home told him was the rules of Huayuan, but now he was in accordance with the rules of Rouyuan, so he could only stand in place and look at Princess Baomeng stupidly.

Ji Chengying, who was in the distance, couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, feeling that this Tang Xiaohao was different from the legend, he looked a little silly, and he didn't seem to have a bright brain.

"Come here!" Bao Meng whispered, "Stand next to me." ”

Tang Xiaohao stepped forward and stood on the left side of Baomeng facing Rouyuan Palace.

Bao Meng immediately said: "I am standing on the wrong side, I should be standing on my right!" ”

Tang Xiaohao explained: "Men on the left and women on the right, this is the rule." ”

Bao Meng said coldly: "That's the rules of Huayuan, and the rules of Rouyuan are the opposite." ”

Tang Xiaohao had to slowly move from behind Bao Meng to his right, and muttered at the same time: "Okay, even if you don't distinguish between left and right." ”

Bao Meng turned his head to look at Tang Xiaohao: "What did you say?" ”

Tang Xiaohao straightened his waist: "Don't murder me, you have to know how to respect your husband." ”

Princess Baomeng didn't bother with him, but said: "Follow my steps, there are a hundred steps in front of you, so you have to walk a hundred steps, and you can't step across the ladder, otherwise, it will be disrespectful to the Nine Heavens." ”

Tang Xiaohao had to follow the steps of Princess Baomeng and walked up, when he passed by Ji Chengying, Tang Xiaohao and Ji Chengying glanced at each other, Tang Xiaohao also smiled at him deliberately, and Ji Chengying also smiled.

This kid is really stupid. Ji Chengying watched the couple slowly walk up the stairs, and he planned to stand here until the wedding ceremony was completed, and then go up to eat with an open stomach.

Although there are many kinds of imperial meals in the palace on weekdays, when eating, he must also pay attention to the so-called manners, even if he eats alone, the action is a little bigger, and the attendants next to him have to remind him, which has long made him bored.

And Rouyuan's wine banquet is two words "bold", you don't need to pay attention to any manners, throw off your arms, eat meat, drink a lot, and be extremely happy, so it is not so much that the emperor pretended to be his younger brother to attend the wedding, but rather came to feast.

——

On the hillside in the distance of the Qinghe Hunting Ground, the real Xiwang Ye Ji Hanguang and the great strategist Sang Luo rode on horses and looked at the Rouyuan Palace in the distance.

Ji Hanguang yawned, looked sleepy-eyed, and took out a handful of tobacco from the bag on his waist and put it in his mouth to chew and refresh.

Seeing this, Sang Luo said: "Lord Wang, it is better not to touch this kind of tobacco, although it can be refreshing for a short time, but it is always harmful to the body." ”

Ji Hanguang said, "How long do I have to wait here?" Can't I go back to the palace? ”

Sang Luo said: "Lord, everyone knows that you are attending the wedding in Rouyuan Palace now, if you go back now, someone will soon know that the emperor is pretending to be you, and when the time comes, rumors will spread, and the court will have to talk about it again." ”

Ji Hanguang said impatiently: "Do these people know that they have nothing to do every day...... Then you watch, I'll sleep. ”

Ji Hanguang turned over and dismounted, fell directly on the grass and closed his eyes to sleep.

Sang Luo also immediately dismounted, sat next to Ji Hanguang and said: "Lord Wang, people's words are terrifying, you should still persuade the emperor, pretend to be you in the future, it is better not to do it, sooner or later it will be discovered." ”

Ji Hanguang frowned and said: "He is the emperor, I am the prince, how can I persuade him?" Shouldn't this be done by you, the great strategist of the court? Anyway, things inside and outside the court have nothing to do with me, I just want to live my own life, I can't wait for my brother to send me to the frontier, it's okay not to give me a fief, I just want to be clean. ”

Sang Luo looked at Ji Hanguang, it was really difficult to understand these two brothers, in the past dynasties, in order to compete for the throne, it was you who killed you to the death, and in this generation of the Dachang Dynasty, none of these two people wanted to be emperors.

However, Sanglu is not concerned about this, but about another matter.

Sang Luo looked at Ji Hanguang, who seemed to be about to fall asleep: "Lord Wang, have you heard that the anti-thief was discovered in the 12th square of the red card some time ago?" ”

Ji Hanguang said "um": "I heard, Tang Chen has already played, I heard that he didn't arrest anyone, but he found out that the murderer of the Nanshi murder case is not only a woman, but also the Oiran of the Twelve Fangs." ”

Sang Luo said: "Tang Chen sent the dragon and leopard to ride to the twelve squares, not to catch the thief, just an excuse, but I don't know why, I only know that it is definitely not a trivial matter, otherwise, he will not mobilize the dragon and leopard to ride." ”

Ji Hanguang opened his eyes and looked at Sang Luo: "What do you mean?" ”

Sang Luo said: "Because those two thieves, after escaping from the Divine Capital City, they were killed by my teacher Hu Shen, I have seen their heads with my own eyes, but Tang Chen doesn't know about this matter, therefore, I am sure that it is an excuse, and I am more concerned about the other thing." ”

Ji Hanguang asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Sang Luo said: "The father and grandfather of the two rebels were both generals of the previous dynasty, and it was not that they were found to be rebelling, but that they actually hid the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty by their side. ”

Ji Hanguang sat up when he heard this, and looked directly at Sang Luo: "Why don't I know about this?" ”

Sang Luo said: "At that time, Emperor Shunhe was still alive, but the prince and the emperor were still young, and I was only 17 years old at that time, but that was the first time I killed someone." ”

Ji Hanguang understood, the person who was sent to deal with the two thieves at that time was Sang Luo.

Ji Hanguang hesitated and asked, "Do those two thieves still have the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty around them?" ”

"Yes," Sang Luo was unusually calm, "There were two adults and a child who escaped from the Divine Capital City, and there were people outside the city who picked them up, a total of ten people, and I was only one person at the time, although I was seriously injured, but I finally completed the task assigned by the teacher." ”

Ji Hanguang asked again: "How old is that child?" ”

Sang Luo replied: "It's still in swaddling clothes. ”

Ji Hanguang said coldly: "You are so ruthless, you don't even let go of the baby." ”

Sang Luo pulled up a piece of grass in front of him: "If you cut the grass, you have to get rid of the roots, so as to prevent future troubles, if you don't do that, the remnants of the royal family of the previous dynasty will definitely make a comeback." ”

Ji Hanguang said amazingly: "Yes, when the time comes, the Dachang Dynasty will be overthrown in an instant, and it will be us who will be cut down and eradicated immediately." ”

Why is there such a response? The reason is very simple, no matter how the dynasties changed in the past, but the heir to the throne, the Son of Heaven who sat on that dragon chair has the mark of nine heavens. Because since the ancient Kunlun Dynasty, the people who ruled Jiuyuan were assigned by Jiutian, but the opening emperor of the Dachang Dynasty, Emperor Dingyuan, was different.

Emperor Dingyuan was originally a common man, that is, an ordinary person, because he couldn't survive anymore, so he raised the banner against the imperial court in his hometown, and shouted the slogan "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning".

Unexpectedly, such a commoner finally overthrew the imperial court at that time and established the Dachang Dynasty.

The country name Dachang means Jiuyuan Prosperity.

It's just that after that commoner ascended the throne as the emperor, what he was most afraid of hearing was the eight-character slogan he once shouted, and even forged the Nine Heavens Mark for himself to represent the true son of heaven. However, this move could not completely subjugate the forces in various parts of Jiuyuan, which directly led to the beginning of the chaos in Jiuyuan.

He who liberates himself and teaches others is rebellious. Of course, Emperor Dingyuan knew this truth, but he also knew that if he wanted to be famous and respond to every call, he had to respond with the same voice and feel the same breath.

Those who overthrow the imperial power ultimately want nothing more than to establish their own imperial power, and after obtaining the imperial power, they are afraid that others will overthrow themselves in the same way.

Human nature is selfish, and the so-called Son of Heaven is no exception.
