Chapter 253: The Second Apprentice Stays in Beijing
Although the prayer ceremony was to be held more frugally, it was already very spectacular for a few people from Zhenyang Mountain, and even Zhao Yizhi, who had been here for half a year and had seen some scenes, was a little shocked.
Ten miles long street, crowded, has been absent for three years of prayer ceremony re-held, many people heard the news, rushed to the outside of the palace overnight, just in order to grab a good position, a glimpse of the appearance of Zhang Zongbai real person in Zhenyang Mountain.
The civil and military officials stood all the way from the palace to the outside of the palace, and the twelve guards came out together and stood behind the hundred officials. The eunuchs and palace maids are all over the palace, the Yulin guards are scattered in the capital, and everyone is busy putting up lights. It is also a large allocation of two treasury from the treasury, and those who bow to the palace three outside the palace gate can get a penny of silver, which makes Zhao Yi persistent and frightened.
"A penny per person? Can't live this court life? ”
The official who acted according to the ancestral routine replied: "Back to Your Majesty, in previous years, it was one or two pieces of silver..."
Zhao Yizhi: "......"
No matter how Zhao Yizhi searched, more than one million taels were scattered before and after a ceremony, and Zhao Yizhi wanted to slap his big mouth when he heard the official's report: What kind of ceremony is there to do.
However, fortunately, all the tributes have arrived in various places this year, even if the war in Chuxiang is imminent, Zhao Yizhi can still afford this money.
Zhao Yizhi announced the beginning of the ceremony in the palace, and Zhang Zongbai recited Shuwen: "The power of the scriptures is incredible, so I sincerely wish." Pray for blessings and blessings, and the calamities will be eliminated and good karma will be extensive..."
After the recitation, it is customary to get on the parade carriage and tour the capital with the emperor for a week, and greet the people.
Zhao Yizhi put his hands behind his back, and under the blessing of dragon qi and imperial qi, the imperial majesty was undoubtedly revealed. Zhang Zongbai, with his hands on his chest, seemed to be a little restrained, if it weren't for a Taoist robe, he would look like an old man next door.
"Do you know what I'm thinking right now?" Zhao Yi looked at the people on both sides of the street, with a smile on his face, and asked Zhang Zongbai on the side.
"Your Majesty wants the people of the Great Apocalypse to live and work in peace and contentment like the capital." Zhang Zongbai said with a smile.
Zhao Yizhi was dumbfounded, he was indeed right by him.
"Then Your Majesty, do you know what Poor Dao is thinking now?" Zhang Zongbai asked with a smile.
Zhao Yizhi still couldn't speak: "I... I really don't know what the real people are thinking..."
"Poor Dao wants to find a good family for my female apprentice, hehehe." Zhang Zongbai secretly glanced at Guanchenzi outside the car, if he saw this scene unknowingly, he would definitely scold him for being "old and unrepairable".
Zhao Yizhi's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Zongbai in disbelief: "What do you mean by a real person?" I... I don't understand..."
The smile on Zhang Zongbai's face gradually put away: "Your Majesty, the poor Dao is old, forgive the old Dao for relying on the old and selling the old." When he was young, Lao Dao also wanted to walk alone in the martial arts and dominate the world. But not now, now that I'm old, the world and the rivers and lakes have nothing to do with the old way, after all, it's a young person. ”
"My two apprentices are the leaders of the second generation of disciples of Zhenyang Mountain, although their martial arts still need to be tempered, they are far superior to those of their peers. It's just that there is still a little distance from the real avenue, these two people, one has the world in mind, but they are alone. A person who cultivates his mind and cultivates himself, but there is nothing in his eyes..."
"Lao Dao, there is still a reluctant request..."Zhang Zongbai did not continue, and looked at Zhao Yizhi with a smile.
Zhao Yizhi excitedly "chuckled" in his heart: "This old Taoist priest doesn't want to take this female disciple to me as a concubine, right?" ”
Zhang Zongbai shook his head, as if he had seen through Zhao Yizhi's thoughts: "Lao Dao brought them into Beijing this time to let them hone in the capital. Hehehe... The old man is confused, how can the court be short of people..."
"Real people are not in a hurry, I am lacking, I am in a hurry!" Zhao Yizhi ignored his demeanor, and hurriedly took Zhang Zongbai's hand, earnest.
"Hahahaha, then I can rest assured, these two disciples have been training in the rivers and lakes for three years, and they know a lot, and they will definitely be able to help Your Majesty. When Lao Dao is dead, His Majesty will send a suitable one to come back and continue to take charge of Zhenyang Mountain. When Zhang Zongbai heard that Zhao Yizhi responded, there was no obstacle in his heart, his face was full of spring breeze, and he couldn't see the domineering spirit of the first person in the martial arts of the rivers and lakes and the demeanor of the Zhenyang Mountain Sect.
He was as happy as an old man in the field who saw the crops harvested.
"A real person is an immortal, and he has a long life, and these two little apprentices will stay with me." Zhao Yizhi comforted a kind word, and there was an indescribable joy in his heart. Not for anything else, just for watching the dust.
The parade ended soon, the sun has fallen to the West Mountain, Zhao Yizhi enthusiastically invited the three masters and apprentices to enter the palace for a banquet, outside the palace, the lanterns in the streets and alleys were lit and guarded by special people, swaying slightly in the breeze, and the whole capital was very lively.
At the beginning of the banquet, Zhao Yizhi quietly ordered people to pile up all the vegetarian dishes in front of the three of them, and Guan Chenzi was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Tongweizi: "In the palace banquet, don't be rude." Guan Chenzi was helpless, and held back in his stomach in one breath.
Zhang Zongbai stood up and picked up three or four meat delicacies such as roast goose and grilled fish, and smiled embarrassedly in the astonishment of the officials: "All the adults don't know, Zhenyang Mountain can eat meat, and the poor road is not happy without meat, hehehe." After sitting down, he quietly replaced all the vegetarian dishes in front of Guan Chenzi with meat, and Guan Chenzi smiled happily.
Zhao Yi looked at Guan Chenzi's happy appearance, and couldn't help but sit on the main seat and smirked: This Nizi has a cold face and is very good-looking, and she is also very good-looking with a smile, no matter what.
Wang Zhenliang saw Zhao Yizhi's thoughts in the back, and pulled the corners of Zhao Yizhi's clothes several times before Zhao Yizhi came back to his senses and was not rude.
Everywhere in the palace, the ten Chen guards guarded it wholeheartedly, and there could be no accident during the Shangyuan Festival.
"Lanyue, you make Tai Chi, isn't this person from Zhenyang Mountain your fellow disciple? Why don't you go down and say hello, maybe you're even higher than them! Na Feng and Lan Yue were in pairs, Na Feng said with a smile.
Lanyue rolled her eyes and replied, "Don't you like to watch that "Journey to the West"? At the junction of Nanhuai and Donglu, there is a city, there is a mountain outside the city, it is called Huaguo Mountain, I will catch two monkeys back, you like to play with sticks so much, but you can rank with it. ”
"Yo, it's rare to see you talk so much, what? You're still not happy to count you as Zhenyang Mountain? Nafeng was not angry and continued to laugh.
"Chen Congwei is actually no different from Zhenyang Mountain, once he enters, he has nothing to do with Hongchen, what do you do with this extra move?" Lan Yue said lightly.
Na Feng carried a long stick and said with a smile: "Hey, you are just a person who practices Tai Chi, you have to be the same as cultivating immortals, come, eat Lao Na a stick!" As he spoke, he raised his stick and gestured to fight.
Lan Yue raised her hand and was about to accept it, when suddenly a secret shout came from nowhere: "What nonsense!" ”
When the two of them heard this, they immediately put away their posture, stared in all directions, and didn't dare to make trouble anymore. Not only the two of them, but also the other eight Chen Congwei, they were also silent, and they didn't dare to say much.
Zhang Zongbai just picked up a piece of big mushroom, was slightly stunned, and then returned to normal, gobbling up the vegetarian vegetables.
After the banquet, the three of them had just left the palace, Zhao Yizhi grinned all the way, hummed a little song with his stomach up, and wandered towards his dormitory, Qiyang Palace, surrounded by a group of little eunuchs.
Walking outside his dormitory, a man in iron armor had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Zhao Yizhi coming, he immediately saluted, and his armor made a loud noise, which was particularly noisy in the quiet of the night. As soon as the surrounding little eunuchs saw the comer, they consciously avoided it, leaving only these two people.
As soon as Zhao Yizhi saw this person, his expression became serious: "How is the strength of the three people of Zhenyang Mountain compared to you?" ”
"The strength of those two apprentices is average, not even as good as the Zhongchen Congwei, but Zhang Zongbai, whose cultivation is unfathomable... Not below me. ”
Zhao Yizhi narrowed his eyes: "Is he really the first person in the rivers and lakes?" ”
"Wechen has a saying, I don't know whether to say it or not...", the man in battle armor arched his hand.
"When did the big man who rushed into battle become so verbose? Let's hear it. Zhao Yizhi was the first to walk into his dormitory, and the man followed.
"Since Zhang Zongbai has left two disciples in Beijing, he has already expressed his intention. Zhenyang Mountain has been snubbed by the imperial court for three years, and he will not think about the way back. No matter which of these two disciples is assigned back by His Majesty, there is no doubt that he will be the new head of the teaching, and he will have to be attached to the imperial court at that time. This may also be what Zhang Zongbai meant, wanting to regain the support of the imperial court. Your Majesty... Don't be afraid. "In the end, he is a military general, and his words of advice are a little hard.
"There are countless disciples of Zhenyang Mountain, even if Zhang Zongbai can trust it, how can those disciples be trusted? The disciples can be trusted, how can the people around Zhenyang Mountain guarantee that they can be trusted? Compared with these, I am more afraid that the king of Chu Xiang will jump over the wall in a hurry, and use the villagers around Zhenyang Mountain as a threat to force Zhenyang Mountain to be the enemy of the imperial court..."Zhao Yizhi expressed his worries.
"They won't have the guts, because there is Zhang Zongbai in Zhenyang Mountain..."
Zhao Yizhi took a deep breath and couldn't help laughing: "Heh, then it seems that my two apprentices are really right." What is the situation of Chu Xiang? ”
"It's still the same, the big soldiers pressed the border, but the troops did not move, there was not even friction between the two armies, our army occasionally provoked, and the Chu Xiang army also turned a deaf ear."
Zhao Yizhi rubbed his chin and nodded: "Then it seems that I am too worried, and Ge Cifeng has been put back, what are they waiting for?" Can there be a report for the unassisted female guard? ”
"Not a word at all."
Zhao Yizhi rubbed his forehead and made a difficulty. As the old saying goes: teachers are famous. The reason why the imperial court did not move the troops was to wait for Chu Xiang to use the troops first, so as to arrange a charge of rebellion and rebellion. Even King Chu Xiang's eldest grandson Ge Yigang was folded in the capital, Chu Xiang was still able to calm down, could it be that he was waiting for Ge Cifeng to have another "eldest grandson" come out, and then make sure that there was a later move?
Zhao Yizhi didn't have a good time this year, and he had been waiting for Chu Xiang to make a move, thinking that Chu Xiang would take advantage of the laxity of the imperial court to raid during the New Year, but who knew that this was waiting for the Shangyuan Festival, and Chu Xiang didn't do it.
"Has Ge Yigang's matter been clarified? But Zhou Ziru's hand? Zhao Yizhi put down Chu Xiang and asked about the capital.
"The two of them really didn't notice it at the time, but a few days ago, the ministers of the DPRK and China did it really Zhou Xiang." This person covered his face with iron armor, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, and said in an urn voice.
Zhao Yi glanced at him: "Do you need to say it?" He told me all about it himself. ”
