Chapter 398: A Thousand Years Ancient Capital

Three days later.

A building boat passed through the Gangju lot and finally arrived at the Kyoto pier just before sunset.

More than a dozen people walked down from the building boat in turn, and the leader was a young man in black.

He was twenty-three or fourteen years old, with a pair of sword eyebrows as black as a painting, his eyes were piercing, his face was sharp and angular like an axe, his long black hair was tied up by a crown of leather, and a black sword like a stick hung from his waist.

The few people who followed behind him, all tall and orderly, inadvertently revealed a killing aura.

This group of people is Wang Cheng and others.

Wang Cheng stood on the dock, looked at the city in the east, and sighed: "It's finally here!" ”

"Yes! It's finally here! ”

Liu Qingsheng and the others also sighed.

Their journey was not smooth at all, they were beaten and chased, how like meritorious people who returned to Kyoto to receive the reward, it was clear that they were fleeing!

Yin Bo looked at the city, frowned, and said, "This is the capital?" It's a little small! ”

"This is not the capital, this is just a county under Kyoto, we are still two or three hundred miles away from the capital!" Wu Feilong said.

"Just a county?"

Yin Bo's eyes rolled slightly, and he whispered: "This county seat is bigger than the county seat of our Yinshan County, and it really deserves to be Kyoto." ”

"What do you think? This is a thousand-year-old capital, can it be compared to other places? Wu Feilong said.

"yes!"

Liu Qingsheng also sighed: "This place gathers rivers and dragon veins, outstanding people, although it has experienced bloody turmoil, it is still prosperous, far from being comparable to the ancient capital thousands of years ago." ”

"The ancient capital? So, were there other national capitals before our Great Zhou? Yin Bo said curiously.

Wu Feilong looked disgusted, he didn't want to be in the company of this person who had no ink on his chest, and he didn't even know about it.

Liu Qingsheng said: "Our Great Zhou originated in Dongshan and Donghai two counties, and Gyeonggi is located in Dongshan. A thousand years ago, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty was in rebellion, and the sons of King Wen competed for the throne, and Gyeonggi was beaten to tatters. The people also died, and those who fled, and nine out of ten families were gone. ”

Several people listened attentively, because some people did not know this history.

"So you moved the capital here?" Yin Bodao.

Liu Qingsheng nodded and said, "It was Zhao Ping who settled the Chengkang Rebellion and almost single-handedly supported King Kang to ascend the throne." Later, he invited the people of the Taoist Sect to look up at the heavens, look down on the geography, and personally visit all over the place, and finally chose this place. ”

"Summoning the Father! Zhao Gong I know that he is the patron saint of our Great Zhou, and it turns out that the national capital was personally selected by him. Yin Bo said excitedly.

Wang Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "Zhaogong is really a god!" ”

The more I dig deeper, the more I feel that this person is really not a mortal.

Quelling the turmoil, supporting the Son of Heaven, moving the national capital, and formulating laws...... This pile, each piece is extremely difficult, the reigning Son of Heaven can do everything will be crowned with the title of "Ming Jun" and "Virtuous Monarch", but Zhao Gong has done it all, he is worthy of the title of "Guardian Saint" of the Great Zhou.

Therefore, in addition to the previous kings of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he was also the only one who was buried with the "gift of the Son of Heaven".

"My lord, let's hurry into the city! After a while, it was dark. Wu Feilong reminded.

Wang Cheng nodded, and then left the dock with the others.

The road leading to the county seat was wide, almost enough to accommodate ten horse-drawn carriages walking side by side.

There are also many pedestrians on the road, such as knights, literati and scholars, and wealthy merchants and hawkers.

The group came to the city gate and was just about to enter, when a shout came from behind them.

"Brother Yang!"

"Brother Wu!"

Wang Cheng and Wu Feilong glanced at each other, and a thought flashed in their hearts at the same time.

How did he get here?

I saw a young man in his twenties running over, holding a sword with a jewel on its scabbard, it was the young man surnamed Wan.

He ran to everyone without blushing or panting, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang, Brother Wu, let's meet again!" ”

"Brother Yang?"

Yin Bo frowned, looked at the young man surnamed Wan, and said angrily: "Boy, do you have bad eyes?" How can we have a surname Yang here? ”

"Say less!"

Wang Cheng turned his head and glared at him, Yin Bo's head shrank, and he quickly closed his mouth.

"Brother Wan!"

Wang Cheng nodded at the young man surnamed Wan and said, "Didn't Brother Wan go to Guangling?" How did you come to Kyoto? ”

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a gray robe ran in front of the city gate.

As soon as he came up, he said, "Master Wan, you can come back!" Lord Wan said that if you don't come back, Lord Wan will expel you from the house. ”

"Shh

The young man surnamed Wan scoffed, and said indifferently: "If you expel it, you will expel it, anyway, the young master doesn't want to live with him for a long time." He looks at me annoyingly, and I look at him annoying. ”

The gray-robed middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, he didn't dare to say anything about the father and son of the Wan family.

"Lord Wan?"

Wu Feilong frowned, turned his head to look at Wang Cheng, and the adult was right, this person is really a son of a eunuch.

He thought about it, which adult in the court was surnamed "Wan".

Suddenly, he looked at the young man surnamed Wan and said, "You are the son of Master Wan of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"No, the little brother is ten thousand books."

Wanjuanshu no longer concealed his identity, arched his hand at Wang Cheng and the others, and said slightly apologetically: "The previous concealment of identity was all for the convenience of walking the rivers and lakes, and please don't blame the two brothers." ”

"It's okay!"

Wang Cheng didn't care, because he didn't reveal his true identity either.

"The two brothers shouldn't be locals, if they don't have a place to live, why don't they go to the younger brother's mansion?" Ten thousand volumes of calligraphy.

"Don't work hard!"

Wu Feilong was the first to say, "We already have a place to live in Kyoto. ”

"Okay!"

Wanjuanshu had no choice but to give up and said, "Anyway, let's go into the city together!" ”

Wang Cheng nodded, and walked towards the city gate with Wu Feilong and the others.

Ten thousand books went in without hindrance, but Wang Cheng and the others had to line up to check.

Kyoto is no more than any other prefecture in which people entering the city are required to reveal their identities and be checked.

Of course, even in other counties, people will no longer be allowed to come and go when it gets dark.

Wang Cheng took out the general's seal letter and showed it to the guards in charge of inspection.

The guard looked at the general seal in a daze, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it carefully.

"Break the Seal!"

He finally reacted, and then let out a scream: "General Wang! You are General Wang! ”

Wang Cheng nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Having received his own admission, the guards of the city ran back to the city in a puff of smoke and shouted, "Brothers, General Wang is here!" The general has entered Beijing! ”

"What? Is General Wang here? ”

"It's General Wang! He's in Beijing! ”

……

The soldiers guarding the city all ran down the city and rushed to the city gate, looking at Wang Cheng and his group.

"His eyes are like torches, and his posture is heroic, and it is really the same as rumored."

"It's General Wang! I've seen his portrait! ”

……

The city exploded as if it had exploded, and all the people who were near it gathered at the gates.

Wanjuanshu, who had already entered the city, paused, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and said to himself: "Sure enough, it's him!" ”

The gray-robed middle-aged man looked back at the city gate and said, "It turns out that that is General Wang, a god-like figure." ”

The gates of the city were soon blocked by soldiers and civilians.

Seeing a group of people surrounding them, Wang Cheng was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he would have such a big name in Kyoto, which is thousands of miles away.

"General Wang, you're finally here!"

"General Wang, when are you going to fight the summer dogs? I'm going to follow you, too! ”

"That's right! Hit the summer dogs! ”

"Hit the summer dog!"

……

Originally, it was just a bystander, but the wind direction soon changed, and it turned out to be like a mobilization before the expedition.

Wang Cheng couldn't cry or laugh, why did everyone who saw him follow him to fight the Xia people?

"My lord doesn't know, fifteen years ago, there was a bloody rebellion in Kyoto, and the Xia people had the most damage to Kyoto, and I don't know how many ordinary people were killed, and the people of Kyoto hated the Xia people the most."

Liu Qingsheng approached Wang Cheng and explained in a low voice: "My lord killed tens of thousands of Xia troops in several battles, recovered Shanyang and Lingwu counties, and killed more than one number of Xia generals, and even the hussar general Li Yuanxu died in your hands." In the hearts of these people, you are a natural star, the reincarnation of the god of war, and they all want to follow you to make achievements. ”

"How can it be that easy?" Wang Cheng shook his head secretly.

Everyone only heard how he slaughtered the Quartet, but they didn't see the white bones under this immortal feat, and the soldiers and people who died in several battles were not 50,000 but also 30,000.

"Everyone!"

Wang Cheng suddenly spoke, his voice was not loud, but as soon as he spoke, everyone fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was pricking up their ears and preparing to listen to him, he said frankly: "Everyone has promoted Wang, and Wang is just an ordinary man. To be able to make meritorious contributions at the border, it all depends on the lives of the soldiers and the whole family, without them, how could Wang make such a great contribution? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone finally sobered up a little.

Seeing this, Wang Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then another shout sounded in his ears.

"I don't care! I'm going to fight the summer dog with General Wang! ”

"That's right! We're going to follow General Wang! ”

"Hit the summer dog! Hit the summer dogs! ”

……

The crowd that had just calmed down was once again like a frying pot, and it was even more powerful than before.

Wang Cheng had a headache, and he didn't know how to deal with this scene for a while.

Just then, a shout came from within the city.

"Let's Jean! Let's Jean! Cao County's order is coming! ”

When the onlookers heard that it was the county order of the county, they quickly got out of the way.

I saw a middle-aged man in a crimson official robe trotting over with a big belly.

Before and after everyone approached, the little eyes immediately locked on Wang Cheng who was standing in the crowd.

A few meters away from Wang Cheng, he bowed down and saluted Wang Cheng: "Humble Cao Yang, I have seen the general." ”

"Lord Cao is polite."

Wang Cheng arched his hand, and did not neglect and despise this fat-headed and big-eared county commander.

Being able to serve as a county magistrate at the feet of the Son of Heaven is by no means a simple person, and in terms of official qualities, he is at least six ranks, and maybe even five grades, which is far from being comparable to county orders in other places.

Cao Yang got up, a smile appeared on his greasy face, and said: "General, the king has already given an order to the lowly position, and after General Wang enters the city, the lowly position will receive the general." ”

"There's Lord Law." Wang Cheng said.

"That's what a lowly job should do."

Cao Yang smiled, and then personally opened the way and led Wang Cheng and the others into the city.

The onlookers did not disperse, but followed Wang Cheng and them all the way.

The movement grew louder and louder, and more and more people came to the streets to watch them.

"That's General Wang, and it's really a talent."

"It doesn't look very strong, but it's a peerless general who is famous all over the world."

"Although there are only a few people, their momentum is much stronger than these soldiers in our county."

"Shhhh Can those soldiers in our county compare with them? This is a warrior of a hundred battles, rolling out of the pile of dead people, and even the Lord of Yama will not accept it! ”

……

A group of people pointed at Wang Cheng and others and discussed.

Yin Bo stretched his neck straight, and deliberately exposed the broken arm.

Even Liu Zixiang, Wang Chenyu, and Zhou Hang, who have always been low-key, puffed up their chests and looked solemn.

It's their moment, and no one will blush or panic.

What is the purpose of birth and death?

Isn't it for that glory?

Isn't that just for that protection?

Isn't it just for that kind of blood?

As Wang Cheng and his entourage entered the city, the whole city became more and more lively.

Some cheered, some sang, some danced, and some secretly delivered the message.

……

The Middle Temple.

This used to be the place where King Zhou rested, and after Zhou Zhaowu ascended the throne, he often stayed here to deal with twists and turns, and many times he could deal with late nights.

Since the early dynasty, Zhou Zhaowu has been dealing with the twists and turns here, and now it is useless to even have dinner.

After handling the book in his hand, he stretched and got up to move.

At this moment, a white-faced and bearded eunuch ran into the hall with small steps.

"King!"

Zhou Zhaowu looked at the person who came, frowned and said, "Chunming, what's so flustered?" ”

"King! General Breaker...... General Wang has entered Beijing! Chunming said.

"Entered Beijing?"

Zhou Zhaowu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled: "This kid, after a month of grinding, he is finally willing to enter Beijing." ”

Chunming saw that he seemed to be in a good mood, so he said boldly: "The south is tens of thousands of miles away from Kyoto, and General Wang is injured on the top, and it is not easy to get to Kyoto in such a short time. ”

"Wounded? Exhausted? ”

The smile on Zhou Zhaowu's face suddenly disappeared, and he said, "What do you know?" ”

When Chunming heard this, his soul was about to fly, and he knelt on the ground with a "poof".

"Damn it! Slaves and maids should be damned! ”

While admitting his mistake, he pumped himself with a big mouth, and the sound of "popping" made people's hearts tremble.

Zhou Zhaowu glanced at him and said, "Okay! Get up! ”

Chunming trembled and got up from the ground, lowering his head and not daring to look.

Before Zhou Zhaowu ascended the throne, he followed him to do things, and he knew Zhou Zhaowu better than he knew himself. But in recent years, Zhou Zhaowu's temperament has become more and more incomprehensible, especially this year.

There were a few ignorant little chamberlains who were replaced because they said a few more words.

He didn't know if it was his own delusion, or if it was the case with every person in a higher position.

"Chunming."

Zhou Zhaowu called him suddenly, so frightened that he knelt on the ground again with a "poof".

"The slave is here!"

Zhou Zhaowu frowned and said, "You go and arrange it, so that Wang Cheng will enter the palace tomorrow." ”

"Yes!"
