Forty-five years of Wude, the third day of the ninth month.

Early in the morning, outside the gates of Kyoto.

A thin, ragged, unkempt man came slowly to the city gate with a wooden stick.

The bright sunshine and brilliant morning glow reflect the entire city of Kyoto in a heroic and gorgeous picture.

However, this man is like a stain in this picture, and people can't help but want to erase it.

"Where did you call Hanako, get out of the way!"

In front of the city gate, the officials guarding the city saw the man approaching the city gate and drove loudly.

However, the man stood on the official road in front of the city gate, his eyes were stunned, and a pair of calm eyes contained indescribable moisture.

"Woo~~"

He actually cried.

The cry is heartbreaking.

It makes people feel pity when they hear it.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, Lao Tzu is kind-hearted, reward you with some copper coins, you go over there to buy some food!"

Annoyed and depressed, the official threw the two copper coins in front of the man.

The man looked at the two copper coins, and a touch of crazy hatred suddenly appeared in his moist eyes.

"Do you know who this king is?"

"I actually call this king Hanako!"

"Dog minion!"

The man was so angry that he raised the stick in his hand and was about to hit the officer.

This is none other than Qin Gong from Shuzhou.

From Shuzhou to Kyoto, there is a distance of more than 2,000 miles, if you are fast, you can walk in six or seven days, if you take a carriage, it will take about a month, but if you walk. Then I don't know how long it will take.

It may be a month or two, it may be a year and a half, or even a lifetime before you can get to Kyoto.

After Qin Gong lost his guards and horses, it took him almost four months to go all the way.

In these four months, he can be regarded as experiencing the real suffering of the world.

He had asked the government for help, but after losing his guards, who would believe that a passer-by was the king of the county?

Even if he held the waist card, the big-headed soldiers and officials thought he was a liar.

And the person who can confirm his identity is probably an official above the seven-rank county order, but how rare it is for an ordinary person to want to see the county order.

After several expulsions and difficulties, he had to give up the idea of asking the government for help and had to go on the road alone.

He thought that when he returned to Kyoto, everything would be fine.

However, how could he, a pampered and noble county king, know the sinister nature of the world.

He sold a horse in Xin'an Mansion, but it was stolen before he could ride it to Xinning Mansion, and it was not only the horse that was stolen, but also all the silver on him.

Without horses, he could only rely on two legs, and without money, he could only sell what he had.

Starting from the jade pendant, he sold almost everything on his body, even his clothes, and changed to a linen coarse coat.

If he doesn't have money, he will be bullied.

The beggars on the roadside, the warriors in the rivers and lakes, the officials of the local government offices, and even when he was in Tianzhou, he was arrested and imprisoned as a homeless person.

If it weren't for his cultivation and running out while those officials were unprepared, maybe he might be mining in an unknown mine now.

In this way, he finally came to the castle of Kyoto.

But the official guarding the gate in Kyoto actually gave him alms.

This is too much of a bullying!

No, it's too much of a bully for the county king!

"Ah, a little named Hanako actually dares to sprinkle with Lao Tzu!" As soon as the official heard Qin Gong's words, he immediately became angry, raised the knife in his hand, took the sheath, and hit Qin Gong.

"This king is the king of Nanchang County, dare to beat this king!" Qin Gong did not show weakness at all, and said with his head held high.

Elsewhere, he didn't dare reveal his identity, because no one would believe him.

But this is Kyoto, not to mention that the county kings are all over the place, but the imperial relatives are everywhere.

As soon as he said this, the official couldn't help but hesitate a little, but he quickly let go of his hesitation.

There are many imperial relatives in Kyoto, but a person named Hanako said that he was the king of Nanchangjun, isn't this nonsense?

"You are the king of Nanchang County, then Lao Tzu is still the king of Ping!"

Syllable!

The sheathed knife slammed on Qin Gong's back, Qin Gong grinned and said angrily: "You dare to beat this king!" ”

"Get out, if you dare to make trouble again, Lao Tzu will break your legs!" Ya Gong said.

Qin Gong was angry, raised the wooden stick in his hand and hit the official again.

It's just that he has come all the way, his spirit is tired and tired, even if he has a five-grade cultivation, he is extremely weak at this time, and the wooden stick is soft and has no strength.

The official was not accustomed to him, so he directly grabbed the wooden stick, threw it into the distance, and then kicked him to the side of the official road.

The passers-by and the other officials all smiled mockingly.

No one cares about a beggar, and no one cares about a beggar.

Qin Gong lay on the side of the road, holding his stomach with both hands, and the severe pain made his forehead ooze fine sweat. But he still looked at the official fiercely.

At this moment, a luxurious carriage slowly drove out of the city, and there were more than a dozen warriors in strong suits and riding horses on both sides of the carriage.

Seeing that the lively crowd blocked the way of the carriage, the carriage stopped, and the surrounding officials immediately became nervous as they watched the carriage.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The official guarding the door hurriedly shouted.

The carriage moved slowly, and a veiled face peeked out of the side window of the carriage.

It was a young girl, and the white veil covered the girl's face, but the bright eyes seemed to attract people's attention like stars.

The girl saw Qin Gong on the side of the road, but she just glanced at it, and then withdrew her gaze.

But when she left, she still said in a crisp voice: "A beggar, what are you doing to embarrass him?" ”

When the official next to him heard this, he was immediately sweating profusely, and bowed down again and again and said: "The little one is not formless, and I have swept Miss Situ's happiness, and I also ask Miss Situ for forgiveness." ”

The girl just said a word and left.

And the official bent over and waited until the carriage disappeared on the official road before lifting.

"Count you lucky boy, you met the kind Miss Situ, hurry up." The official walked up to Qin Gong and said in a dull voice.

"Who's that?" Qin Gong looked at the direction in which the carriage disappeared and muttered in a low voice.

However, the official did not answer his interest at all, and urged him to leave quickly.

Qin Gong got up from the ground and said, "This king wants to enter the city!" ”

"You!" The official was annoyed, but thinking that the nobles who had left just now had spoken, he didn't dare to do too much.

"Roll Roll~~"

He had no choice but to let Qin Gong enter the city gate.

Qin Gong finally entered Kyoto City, and after some tossing, he finally returned to King Ping's Mansion.

Afternoon.

Inside the Pingwang Mansion.

Qin Gong changed into a brocade robe, and although his face still looked a little pale, the luxury on his body had returned.

He lay beside Qin Changping and cried aggrievedly.

"Father!"

"Woo woo, Father!"

At this moment, he seemed to want to vent all the grievances in his heart.

It's just that his crying made Qin Changping upset.

"Shut up, dignified king, what do you look like when you cry!" Qin Changping shouted angrily.

"Father, Qin Wei's bastard is not a human, he~~" Qin Gong cried, like a resentful woman.

Qin Changping took a deep breath, he also understood the grievances suffered by Qin Gong along the way.

In fact, two months ago, he sent someone to look for Qin Gong, but he never found it.

However, he had been busy fighting wits and courage with Qin Changan in the court before, and he had no intention of paying attention to Qin Gong's life or death.

Qin Gong is his son, but he is not his only son, and compared to the throne, Qin Gong's own son is not so important.

"Shut up!" Qin Changping shouted coldly.

Qin Gong was shocked, his crying stopped abruptly, and he stood tremblingly in front of Qin Changping.

Qin Changping couldn't help but feel a little unbearable when he saw that he looked thin and out of appearance.

After all, this is his own son, and he, as a father, still has some heartache.

"Your father knows all the grievances you have suffered."

"Get up!"

Qin Changping said with a soothing expression.

"Thank you, Father!" Qin Gong stood up, although his eyes were still full of grievances, he didn't dare to continue crying.

After Qin Changping pondered a little, he said: "The time is almost up, and tomorrow my father will play a request to remove the official position of the king of Xin'an County in the Zhenwu Division." ”

When Qin Gong heard this, he was immediately surprised.

"Yes, yes, remove him from his official position, see if he dares to provoke me!"

Qin Changping took a deep breath and said, "Recently, the situation in the court is a bit complicated, you first take care of your body at home, and then come to help your father when your body is well." ”

Qin Gong nodded hurriedly and said, "The child is willing to share his father's worries." ”

"Okay, go down and rest."

Qin Changping patted him on the shoulder and said.

After some tossing, Qin Gong stopped and returned to his yard to rest.

……

The next day, morning after the morning.

Emperor Li sat in the study with a tired face.

His countenance was getting older and his spirit was a little weaker.

"Your Majesty, this is a piece sent by Prince Ping!" Father-in-law Lu put a copy of the fold on the desk.

Emperor Lihuang opened the fold and glanced at it, and said, "What are the interesting things in Kyoto in the past two days?" ”

Father-in-law Lu bowed his head and said: "Yesterday, the king of Nanchang County came back, but when he came back, he looked very embarrassed, and there was no guard around him, just like a beggar." ”

"Hmm!" Lihuang's eyelids lifted slightly.

Gonggong Lu said with a smile: "It is said that the official guarding the city gate at that time did not let him enter the city and beat him, if it wasn't for Miss Situ passing by and saying a word, he might not have been able to enter the city." ”

Lihuang chuckled.

It is ridiculous that a county king cannot enter the gates of Kyoto Castle.

However, why Qin Gong fell into such an embarrassing situation, Emperor Lihuang knew very well in his heart.

"What has the king of Xin'an done recently?" Lihuang asked.

Lu Gong said fairly: "Since the transfer of Li Ru and Yuwen Chengdu, the king of Xin'an County has been touring the mountains and rivers in Shuzhou all day long, but he has not made any special moves. ”

"Oh! He didn't win over the officials in Shuzhou? ”

"Nope! The king of Xin'an County has not returned to Shuzhou City for four months, and he has not met with the newly appointed officials in Shuzhou City. "Lu Gong is fair.

Emperor Li sighed lightly and said, "I have wronged him." ”

Although he had been suppressing Qin Wei, he still had Qin Wei in his heart.

When the Zhenwu Division was established, no one dared to take over the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, but Qin Wei, who was not afraid of tigers, stood up.

After the establishment of the Zhenwu Division, it first suppressed the warriors and sects in Kyoto, and then suppressed the martial arts forces in Tianzhou, and now it has expanded to the entire Dali.

These meritorious deeds were recorded on Qin Wei's head.

"It's almost time for him to get married!"

Emperor Lihuang thought for a while and said: "Deliver the decree to remove the king of Xin'an County from his position in the Zhenwu Division, promote Zhuge Zhengme to the commander of the Zhenwu Division, and the king of Xin'an County has meritorious service in establishing the Zhenwu Division and is named King Rui." ”

"Situ Qianxue, the daughter of the city lord of Beiyuan City, celebrates the etiquette, chastity and nature, and has rules for her words, and she is named Princess Rui, and orders the Zongren Mansion to hold a wedding for King Rui in Shuzhou as soon as possible."

"Whoa!" Father-in-law Lu answered.

……

October 13.

Inside the city of Dan Lian Mansion.

In an exquisite courtyard, Qin Wei knelt in front of the incense case to welcome the holy decree.

After the father-in-law who came to announce the decree finished reciting, Qin Wei stood up.

"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!"

The one who came to announce the decree was the eunuch Xiao Luo, Qin Wei and he were also acquaintances, and when he was in Kyoto, he also went to the county king's mansion many times to run errands for Emperor Li.

"Grandpa Luo has worked hard!"

Qin Wei smiled as he glanced at Xiao Shunzi next to him.

Xiao Shunzi immediately gathered, and hurriedly beckoned people to take dozens of money bags and sent them to the people who came to announce the decree one by one.

Weighing the money bags, the smiles on everyone's faces became brighter, and the congratulations became much more sincere.

"Your Highness, a few adults from the Zongren Mansion will arrive in two days, and your Highness will have to receive them well at that time." Xiao Luo's father-in-law reminded.

Qin Wei bowed his head slightly and said, "This king understands!" ”

"The little one won't bother Your Highness!"

"Xiao Shunzi, you take Father-in-law Luo to rest first."

Qin Wei didn't have much to stay with Father-in-law, and said.

After everyone left, Qin Wei's face immediately became solemn.

He walked back to the study quickly, and Zhao Gao was already waiting for him in the study.
