The majestic Xi'an City Tower is in sight.

The imperial grandson's brigade approached the official pavilion.

Suddenly, I heard the front "Tom! Tong! Tong! Clusters of sparks rushed into the sky.

Green smoke rose from the mouth of the barrel of the pole salute, and the sound of gongs and drums was heard.

Immediately afterwards, a group of Shaanxi officials lined up neatly in the center of the post road.

Wu Qiang, who was at the front of the team, pulled the reins violently, and the front hooves of the war horse were raised in the air, snorting, and stopped abruptly.

"Damn it, scare me!"

The unique way of greeting the Shaanxi officials made him think that someone had set off a gun to attack the guard of honor.

The officials of the three divisions of Shaanxi Province and all the officials of the prefectures, prefectures, and counties, under the leadership of the political envoys, gathered at the official pavilion to welcome the emperor's grandson to inspect Shaanxi.

The dragon chariot drove slowly over.

All the officials widened their eyes and looked surprised.

Obviously, I didn't expect that the emperor's grandson was riding on the emperor's dragon chariot!

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Zhu Yunxi raised his head slightly and looked at the officials casually.

But he didn't see the figure of Zhu Rong, the king of Qin.

I couldn't help frowning.

The imperial grandson came to the land of Sanqin in person, but the king of Qin didn't come to greet him?

Xie Jin's brain reacted the fastest, and he shouted at the moment: "What about King Qin? ”

All the officials were stunned, and they forgot to come forward to greet them for a while.

It was only at this time that the political envoy of Shaanxi came back to his senses and hurriedly beckoned the officials to come forward.

"Liu Shiyuan, the political envoy of Shaanxi, led the chief official of the main hall of Fuzhou County to welcome the emperor's grandson!"

Take care of their own affairs, they don't dare to meddle in the affairs of King Qin.

As a local official, if he sued the vassal king, he would be severely punished by the imperial court.

Zhu Yunxi nodded slightly, and Xie Jin immediately shouted: "Xing!" ”

The honor guard continued to advance, entering the city of Xi'an, and directly entering the palace of the king of Qin.

The officials followed behind one by one with surprised expressions.

Greeting is greeting, the imperial grandson enters the palace of the feudal prince, and he has to perform another salute of the monarch and ministers, this is the rule.

As the "first feudal feud in the world" of the Ming Dynasty, the Qin Palace, has both city walls and moats, just like a small city.

The area of the inner city of Qinwangfu City accounts for about one-tenth of the area of Xi'an's Fucheng, and the area inside the Xiao Wall of the outer city accounts for nearly a quarter of the area of Xi'an's Fucheng.

The walls of the Qin Mansion and the Xi'an Mansion formed a heavy city pattern of "a city within a city".

In front of the gate of the palace, four red silk lanterns are hung high.

On both sides of the door, there were standing strong palace guards.

At this time, the door is open, and at a glance, the courtyard is bright.

"Here, hurry, ready to take over!" Qin Wangfu Governor Shi shouted.

There were many shadows, and many people inside the gate were already nervously and silently lined up waiting to be picked up.

The honor guard of the imperial grandson stopped in front of the main gate of the Qin Palace.

The palace was full of officials and slaves.

Surrounded by everyone, Zhu Yunxi walked in slowly and stood still in front of the crowd kneeling to greet him.

Zhu Shangbing, the prince of the King of Qin, who was kneeling in front, shouted: "Welcome to the Emperor's Mansion of the Emperor!" ”

The crowd kneeling down to greet them bowed three times.

Zhu Yunxi's eyes scanned over the heads of the kneeling crowd, obviously looking for someone.

Then his face sank, and he asked lightly, "What about King Qin?" ”

Zhu Shangbing, the son of King Qin, was only thirteen years old, and he studied in the main hall of the palace when he was a child, and he was a classmate of Zhu Yunxi.

However, after a few years of not seeing each other, the two have become much more estranged.

Seeing the emperor's grandson's cold face, Zhu Shangbing didn't dare to answer.

Shi Wangfu, the head of the Qin Palace, replied: "Back to the emperor's grandson, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is still hunting in the West Mountain. ”

Hunt?

The accompanying East Palace officials immediately blew up.

The news of the emperor's grandson's patrol of the border had already been notified to various places half a month in advance.

The itinerary of the honor guard is also to inform the specific time of the next stop one day in advance.

Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, knew that the emperor's grandson would come today, but he went hunting?

What do you want to do?

Give the imperial grandson a horse?

"How can it be!"

"It's a courtesy!"

Xie Jin and others shouted one after another.

Chang Sheng, the founding prince of the country, grabbed Shi Yi, the head of the Qin Prince's Mansion, on the spot, and said angrily: "Something like a dog, I don't know if the emperor's grandson is here today?" ”

When the vassal king commits a crime, the first person to suffer is the chief of the palace, who acts as a scapegoat.

Chang Sheng didn't dare to name and scold Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, so he could only point to Sang and scold Huai, and vent his anger for his nephew.

Zhu Yunxi's face sank, ignored the crowd, and walked quickly towards the palace of King Qin through the way of kneeling to greet him.

Xi shan.

Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, is still riding a horse and hunting.

His name is hunting, but in fact he snubbed the emperor's grandson.

After the death of the crown prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Fan always wanted to be the prince, he felt that the boss was dead, and he should be the last brother and become the prince!

His father not only did not make him the crown prince, but instead made his grandson Zhu Yunxi the emperor's grandson.

This made Zhu Fan very unhappy!

He complained in the fiefdom so far, and he has not been idle for a day, and he complains when he is free.

The accompanying commander of Shaanxi, Nie Wei, said worriedly: "King, the imperial grandson has arrived in Fucheng, if you don't go to meet you, I'm afraid that someone in the court will be unfavorable to you." ”

"Afraid of what?"

Zhu Fan snorted coldly and said, "This is my feudal country!" ”

came to Lao Tzu's territory, and still want to have a good face?

Look at the second uncle who doesn't convince you!

"His Royal Highness King Qin!"

In the distance, a few horsemen came.

Soon rushed to the front, and the chief of the Qin Palace, Shi came, followed by Xie Jin.

Several people rolled over and dismounted.

Xie Jin unfolded the holy decree that he had already held in his hand, and said loudly: "The decree of the imperial grandson, and the decree of Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin!" ”

The commander of Shaanxi made Nie Wei hurriedly dismount and stand aside, and several generals also quickly dismounted.

Zhu Fan sat on the horse and did not move.

Eighteen of his own soldiers were also on horseback, and stood motionless behind him.

Xie Jin was taken aback.

Several generals from the Shaanxi Dusi were also surprised.

Xie Jin raised his voice: "The imperial grandson has a decree, and the king of Qin, Zhu Zhang, dismounts to receive the decree!" ”

Zhu Fan raised his horsewhip: "Call again, pull your whip alone!" ”

Xie Jin saw him fighting against the imperial grandson like this, and his face turned white in shock.

Only for a while, Xie Jin regained his composure, held his head high and said: "The minister is the chief official of the East Palace, if the King of Qin draws the minister, it will not only beat the minister, but the face of the court!" ”

Zhu Zhang's whip never dared to fall.

Xie Jin is right, Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu is a third-grade official, Xiao Jiuqing, and he is the chief official of the East Palace.

If you go down with a whip, it will be whipped on the emperor's grandson, just like hitting the prince!

There was a moment of silence.

Xie Jin repeated again: "His Royal Highness King Qin, take the order!" ”

Zhu Fan asked with a cold face, "Receiving the order?" What's the order?! ”

Xie Jin took a step forward and said in a fierce voice: "The imperial grandson was ordered to inspect the border passes, and the first stop in Xi'an was even more appointed by His Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, if you are still a prince, you will immediately dismount and receive the order!" ”

Zhu Rong's face turned white, he gritted his teeth, turned over and dismounted, closed his eyes and knelt down.

The eighteen soldiers also hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and knelt down.

Xie Jin sighed secretly, and then announced: "His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun has decreed that Gu has arrived at the Qin Palace, and Zhu Fan will immediately return to the palace to see him!" ”

Zhu stood up and said loudly: "Got it! ”

After saying that, he turned over and got on his horse.

Zhu Fan waved his whip violently, and the horsewhip was whipped on the horse's back fiercely, as if venting the anger in his heart.

The horse rushed forward like an arrow, and Xie Jin and the others were so startled that they hurriedly dodged to both sides.

The Qin Wangfu brigade returned to the Qin Palace.

Several generals from the Shaanxi capital also followed.
