Chapter 168: Fight for Priority
The First Emperor waved his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Then there is no need to say, everything pays attention to the first come, first come, and then come, you naturally left with me." ”
"That's not going to work, you have to go with me." Her Majesty the Empress will not budge.
"You lady, you are really unruly?" The First Emperor asked in a deep voice.
"I'm just talking about rules." Then the Empress of Heaven was not alarmed.
"Where are your rules, and what is the reason?" The First Emperor stared.
"Little brother worships the Qianling Tomb in the morning, and you worship the Mausoleum of the First Emperor in the afternoon. In such order, what do you have to say? ”
The First Emperor was speechless for a moment, and said in his heart, this lady is really not simple, her mouth is domineering, her speech is reasonable and measured, and she won't even let me, no wonder she can steal the Li family. has the heart to retreat, but feels that there is no face, and his eyes roll, and he counts on his heart. said: "You lady, don't you know what to do, there is always a last, and everything is expected, and I should pay it back when I arrive." First come, first come, it is a ritual to follow in ancient times, do you want to destroy the etiquette? ”
"Hehe, I can't see it, the first emperor actually chewed the words, and he wanted to compete for the first place with the descendant Mei Yaochen's "Wanling Anthology", you still owe some fire. Wouldn't you have heard that ladies first is an internationally recognized principle of etiquette today. When you are in the moment, you have to follow the laws of the day. Could it be that you want to break this code? "The empress needle to Maimang.
The first emperor's confidence suddenly stagnated, and he said in his heart, this lady is competing for the first place everywhere, and her exit is in accordance with the rules, and it is really difficult to deal with her. However, I obviously came first, how can I let her. What's more, who have I let in my life. I am domineering, how can I tolerate such unreasonable behavior.
"That's absolutely not good, you just said the flowers today, and I came first, Xiaoyou must come with me."
Ou Zhou saw that the two sides were arguing, so he had to mediate again: "Can the two Majesties listen to me?" ”
"You say?" The two emperors said almost in unison. It seems that they all don't want to argue.
"The two Majesties have their own reasons, and I think they both have a point. But it won't help to go on like this, so it's better to guess the order, how about it? ”
"Okay, I agree." The First Emperor didn't want to entangle with this woman, so he nodded happily.
"I agree." The empress also knew that there was no point in holding on.
Ou Zhou took out a coin from his pocket, put it in the palm of his hand, and stretched it out for the first emperor and the empress to see: "This coin has a chrysanthemum on one side and a national emblem on the other, and you two people have one on the other." In line with the principle of ladies first, please ask Her Majesty to say first, which side do you recognize? ”
Empress Zetian smiled with satisfaction: "Of course, it is the national emblem." ”
"Okay, the chrysanthemum side represents His Majesty the First Emperor. Do you have any objections, Your Majesty the First Emperor? ”
"A woman's family, who doesn't like flowers, but recognizes the national emblem, what kind of system has it become?" Ying Zheng said angrily, "Okay, I recognize that the chrysanthemum is." ”
Empress Zetian punned on the words: "His Majesty the First Emperor turned out to be a son of heaven who loves flowers!" ”
Ou Zhou was worried about the resurgence of the dispute, and hurriedly said: "Two Majesies, when I throw it high, which side is on top after landing, I will go with the corresponding one, how about it?" ”
"Okay, I agree."
"I agree."
As soon as the second emperor's words fell, Ou Zhou threw the coin high, only to see that after the coin turned over countless heels, the bell fell to the ground, and the national emblem was impressively on it.
The empress was full of joy, and the first emperor was bewildered.
Ou Zhou smiled: "Your Majesty the First Emperor, let's meet again tomorrow night!" ”
The First Emperor snorted in a nasal voice, glared at Empress Zetian fiercely, and said, "I really responded to that proverb, got up early in the morning, and rushed to a late meeting. ”
Empress Zetian smiled: "Even the heavens are following the principle of ladies first. If you want to keep up with the pace of the times, you must understand more about the thoughts of contemporary people and adapt to the changes of society. Our time has long since become history. ”
The First Emperor walked a few steps, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Why don't we do this, how about we make a conditional exchange?" ”
Empress Zetian was vigilant, looked at the First Emperor and asked, "Your Majesty the First Emperor, if you are not convinced, we have a chance to compete." Today, the result is a foregone conclusion, so give up! ”
"Empress Zetian, you have misunderstood."
"Oh, why don't you tell me about it?"
"I think so, our two mausoleums are not far from each other, drink the water of the Weihe River, share the grain of Guanzhong, and have been neighbors for thousands of years, but we don't know each other. Today is the right time, it is better to make a friend, in the future we can hang out with each other to chat, discuss the development of the times, and understand what future generations say about us. How about this suggestion? His Majesty the First Emperor spoke eloquently and with full sincerity.
The empress smiled and said: "Your Majesty the First Emperor, you are a generation of heroes, you have been in the limelight for many years, there are countless staff, and there are many concubines, will you not be happy?" ”
The First Emperor explained: "This is different, the staff are only promised, and the concubines are obedient, how can it be as fierce as the Empress Zetian, and dare to be arrogant." Besides, didn't you say that you want to keep pace with the times and emancipate your mind, then I will start learning from you first. ”
Empress Zetian laughed and said arrogantly: "Well, since I ascended the throne, who dares to rebel and commit crimes, today I have been repeatedly reprimanded by His Majesty the First Emperor, but it is quite novel, I will make you a friend today!" ”
The First Emperor smiled: "What, according to modern etiquette, do you shake hands first, and then hug or something?" ”
"It's okay to shake hands, hugging doesn't meet the rules of boyfriend and girlfriend, so it's free!" The Empress smiled happily.
The First Emperor then stretched out his hand and shook hands with Empress Zetian. But he pretended to sigh and said: "If Ou Xiaoyou comes with me tonight, then as a friend, I will definitely invite Empress Zetian to my imperial tomb as a guest." ”
Empress Zetian found out that she had fallen into the trap of the First Emperor, and couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty the First Emperor, you are really scheming, you can say it bluntly if there is something, why go around such a big circle?" ”
The First Emperor laughed and said, "Hahaha, if you were to be straight, would you agree to invite me as a guest?" ”
Empress Zetian nodded and said with a smile: "I don't think so." ”
"So, if I don't use a little trick, how can I get my wish!"
"No wonder the first emperor can dominate the world, his mind, wisdom and strategy are beyond his class, with the chaos of the six countries at that time, the soldiers are in trouble, and the people are miserable, and they will have to be rectified and governed by heroes like you, in other words, the world should belong to you."
"The empress has a beautiful appearance, is talented, is not afraid of power, and dares to be the first in the world in everything. No wonder he was able to take Li Tang's world into his pocket, and he was outstanding. ”
Ou Zhou said with a smile: "The two Majesties are both one in the world, and they have both created an immortal foundation. Today's handshake and peace is really a beautiful talk in the world. Since Her Majesty the Empress has agreed to the First Emperor to go to the mausoleum as a guest, everyone is really happy, so I will go and call my senior brother to get up, and we will go together. ”
"Slow down, little friend." The First Emperor called.
Ou Zhou turned around and looked at him puzzled.
"Your senior brother is also a living person, you go to call him, when others wake up, how can they see us?" The First Emperor explained.
"Yes, only when our spirits go to sleep can we summon Jiang Yang to go with us!" The Empress laughed.
"But, aren't I also a primordial god out of my body now?" Ou Zhou is puzzled.
The First Emperor shook his head and said, "You are now one soul and two souls out of your body. For example, if you used the letter incense to summon us earlier, it is the out-of-body spirit. ”
"Yes, at that time, you were out of your body, and you used the technique of connecting the past and the present. And now, you're just in a dream. Her Majesty explained.
Ou Zhou suddenly realized.
The First Emperor turned his mind around, and he had already entered Jiangyang's room, approached the bed, and called, "Little friend, don't come to harm?" ”
Ou Zhou saw an extremely vague figure gushing out of Jiang Yang's body, if he didn't know that it was from Jiang Yang's body, he was afraid that for a while, he wouldn't be able to recognize who it was?
Jiang Yang rubbed his eyes, saw that it was the First Emperor, and hurriedly bowed down to worship: "The First Emperor is here, I don't know what advice you have?" ”
"Little friend, I came tonight to go to Qianling with your senior brothers as a guest, Her Majesty the Empress is also here, you come and see it."
As soon as Jiang Yang turned around, he saw Her Majesty the Empress standing on one side, Ou Zhou standing beside him, and hurriedly bowed down to pay respects: "I don't know that Her Majesty the Empress is coming, I have missed the welcome, and please atone for my sins." ”
The empress smiled and said: "Little brother Pingshen, come here tonight, because your senior brothers worship in front of the mausoleum during the day, not to mention that we have an appointment in advance, so I have come to take the two of you to the mausoleum to have a look." I didn't want to meet His Majesty the First Emperor, although he had a discord at first, but now we have become friends with our hands and officially invite the First Emperor to go to Qianling with you and others as guests. ”
Jiang Yang saw Ou Zhouhuan's joyful appearance, so he also made a joyful appearance, and followed Her Majesty the Empress and went to Qianling with the First Emperor.
At this moment, the night is four, the stars are bright, the oblique moon is hanging in the west, and it is obvious that it is the second half of the night.
The souls of the two emperors, the souls of the two living, in the night, are like a breeze, as fast as a meteor, and they arrived at Qianling in a moment.
The empress stopped in front of a thousand-year-old cypress, her mouth was full of lotus flowers, she recited words, pulled out the hosta and swiped it in the air, and the ancient cypress was like a mechanism, and the tree body silently opened a door.
Her Majesty the Empress led the way, and the First Emperor was second, followed by Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang, and entered the ancient cypress.
Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang couldn't help but glance at each other, and said in their hearts, the tomb robbers of the past generations have been thinking about digging the mountain and looking for the entrance of the tomb, and it turns out that the entrance is hidden in a thousand-year-old cypress, which is really an unexpected and wonderful idea.
Next, the empress led them to land vertically in the ancient cypress, at a depth of about 100 meters, and it was obvious that the ancient cypress was hollow, like an elevator leading straight to the depths of the ground.
After landing, it stopped in front of a golden light, carved dragon and phoenix gate, Her Majesty the Empress put the hosta into a small hole in the door, poked and twisted, the golden door quietly opened, a line of four spirits entered the door, on both sides of the door, there were two bucket-thick flower pythons, spitting the letter and raising their heads, nodding at the empress three times.
The empress turned around and explained: "These are the two pythons that Yuan Tiangang caught and raised from Zhongnan Mountain, which have been practicing for thousands of years, are quite spiritual, and are familiar with the master's breath. Here, I am dedicated to the important task of guarding the goal. ”
Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang secretly inspected it, and these two pythons were even bigger than the two in Longtan Gorge of Wutong Mountain.
The python probably smelled a faint smell of life on Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang, and it was mixed with the smell of python gall. There was a sudden vigilance in the gloomy little eyes.
The empress led the way in front of a white marble arch bridge, the arch bridge is like a white rainbow, across the two banks, the bridge is bottomless, only to feel a gust of yin wind blowing, blowing people are terrified.
The empress inserted the hosta into a small hole on the side of the arch bridge again, and the arch bridge disappeared, and a jade belt bridge appeared in front of her.
The empress smiled and said, "Which arch bridge is an illusion, if you go up, you will fall into the abyss." ”
After crossing the jade belt bridge, the empress once again inserted the hosta into the small hole on the side of the door, and the jade door slid open to both sides.
The Empress was not in a hurry to step forward, but gently slapped her palm three times. A ropeway appeared behind the Emerald Gate.
The empress explained: "Usually when people open the door, they are in a hurry to enter, but there seems to be a way behind the door, but if they step in, they will fall into the Yin River, and there will be no bones left in ten seconds. ”
Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang had goosebumps all over their bodies, and secretly said, even if the tomb robbers came in, how could they pass such a dangerous three levels?
When you cross the cableway, there is a misty Sagahill, quite Penglai Xianshan style, there is a waterfall in front of the hill, the empress waved her big sleeves, the waterfall suddenly disappeared, revealing a sun gate inside.
The Empress explained: "The waterfall is not a trick, if you accidentally stick to a half, the muscles will ossify in an instant. ”
