Chapter 6 Smoke and Rain Xunjing
"Zhong Ling condenses Hua Ziqi Luo, and Qianque Shengsheng Xunyang Pavilion. The three continents are thriving, and the peaks and peaks of the five dynasties are full of success. Emperor Wu danced in the wind, and Wenzong wrote Jingjiang turbidity. Langxing 8,000 can cross the mountain, and he will not go to the country of Huaizhong and a pillar!"
Xunjing City, as the ancient capital of five dynasties. Since the era of the Nine Emperors, it has been the most famous peak imperial city of the Huaizhong generation.
During the period of the Nine Emperors, the three generations of Xuanyuan Dynasty Emperor Xuanyuan Yiding were all here. After more than 70 dynasties, a total of more than 1,400 years, Emperor Sejong Xuanyuan Jing moved the capital to Zhongzhou Yao Palace.
In the spring and autumn, the Huaizhong wealthy families Xue, Ming and Zhao all built their capitals here.
1,700 years ago, the Li clan rose. Emperor Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Wujiang, was only a wealthy family in Huaizhong at that time, and the lord of the Li clan in Lingcheng. Li Wujiang personally led the Wujiang army to sweep through the Huaizhong area, and his general Gu Chengyu first attacked Xunyang City, the capital of the former Zhao State. After the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Li Wujiang rewarded this city as a fief to the Gu family.
During the Hualong period, Emperor Wen Li Zongyuan carved out 600 li of Shangyang and moved the fief of the Gu family to it. After that, Emperor Wen personally led hundreds of officials, moved the capital from Xuanzhou to Xunyang, and changed his name to "Xunjing". Passed down to the present!
The Imperial City of the Great Zhou Dynasty is located in the southwest of Xunjing. Since the era of Emperor Wen, it has lasted more than 370 years, with a total of 15 emperors, and has been constantly renovated and repaired. Today, the imperial city covers an area of more than 3,000 hectares. Every time an emperor ascended the throne, he would rebuild his palace. In the 3,000-hectare imperial city, there are more than 300 palaces that can be named.
Li Hong, the contemporary emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was sitting in the warm pavilion of the Jingyang Palace, which he presided over, reviewing the recitals from the nine provinces and thirteen provinces of the country. He had just annotated a piece of the song with a red pen when an old man in a dark red robe walked briskly into the warm pavilion.
This old man does not have a half-lock beard under his chin, his eyebrows and eyes are slightly feminine, and he should be a eunuch. However, the old eunuch's breath was long, and there was no interval between breaths. The steps are steady, and the distance between each step is exactly the same.
"Master, news has come from the Eastern Regions through Lingjian: Gu Cangsheng has left Guangling and left for the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"
The old eunuch walked up to Li Hong and said in a low voice.
Li Hong was interrupted by the old eunuch's deep voice. He glanced up at the other party, then picked up another book from the dragon case, lowered his head, and asked as he looked, "Just himself?"
The old eunuch shook his head and said, "Gu Zhantian's six hundred Eastern Wang Wei followed him on the road. Xiao Tinghan and Xiao Yexue of Xiao Ye Villa also followed him all the way to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Princess Xian'an also sent Ye Zeng, the second commander of Qionghua Jingwei, along with a thousand two hundred Qionghua Jingwei, to follow him and be responsible for guarding the safety ....."
"Qionghua Jingwei?"
Without waiting for the old eunuch to finish speaking, Li Hong looked up unexpectedly.
"Exactly...... Not only that, Princess Xian'an also said...... also said that Gu Cangsheng is her son, if there is any accident on the road this time, she will not show mercy!"
After listening to the old eunuch's words, Li Hong had no words. He clenched the fold tightly in his hand, his face gloomy. After a long time, the Ninety-Five Venerable of the Great Zhou suddenly shook his head in relief, and laughed helplessly.
"That's right! After all, it's someone else's child, so let him take care of it by his own parents!"
After speaking, Li Hong once again focused his eyes on the fold in front of him. He waved casually at the old eunuch and signaled that he could leave.
The old eunuch gave a salute, turned around and was about to leave the warm pavilion.
"By the way, that kid from the Gu family just had a crowning ceremony two days ago?"
Before he reached the door, the old eunuch was stopped by Li Hong.
"Exactly! Old Prince Gu also specially invited Guan Ruoju to preside over it personally!"
"Hmmm......"
Li Hong nodded, thought for a long time, and said, "In this way, you go to the Tianwu Palace's Mansion to announce the decree: Seal Gu...... Gu Canglan is a third-class Shunyi uncle. You personally make a trip, bypass the three provinces, and go straight to the ...... That's all, go for it!"
The old eunuch bowed his head and agreed, and when he saw that Li Hong had no other instructions, he turned around and walked out of the warm pavilion.
Li Hong continued to read carefully. The noon glow squeezed into the warm pavilion through the window lattice, reflecting on Li Hong's majestic and handsome face, flickering bright and dark!
......
On the carriage, Gu Cangsheng squinted his eyes and pillowed on Xiao Yexue's plump jade legs. And Xiao Yexue had a pretty face, holding a small silver spoon in her jade hand, and plucked out her ears for Gu Cangsheng wholeheartedly!
"If you let your flock of wild bees and butterflies know that their goddess is nesting in a carriage and piercing men's ears, will they go crazy with anger?"
Gu Cangsheng raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yexue's meticulous little face, and couldn't help but say narrowly.
"Nasty!"
Xiao Yexue, who was seriously helping Gu Cangsheng pick out his ears, heard his words, and twisted it hard under Gu Cangsheng's ribs in shame. Gu Cangsheng smiled, closed his eyes again, and enjoyed Xiao Yexue's gentle service.
"Judging from the current footsteps, we should be able to reach Guangyang City in the evening. ”
Xiao Yexue put the ear spoon on the desk, patted Gu Cangsheng and said.
Gu Cangsheng opened his eyes, thought for a while, nodded, looked at the chariots and horses outside the window and said, "There are many people, but there is no convenience for light cars, but after all, it is my aunt's heart!"
Xiao Yexue frowned lightly and asked worriedly, "Then at the current speed, can we reach Junyang City before April?"
Gu Cangsheng shook his head.
"It's definitely not going to work this way. We had to rush to Sanjiangkou before the second dragon raised its head in February, and Wuhua was waiting for us. And this time I went to the Eastern Jin Dynasty not only to attend Lu Jiuxiao's birthday banquet. For that mysterious His Royal Highness King Ning, I'm curious!"
"King Ning?"
Xiao Yexue asked while pouring a cup of tea for Gu Cangsheng. Gu Cangsheng picked up the teacup poured by Xiao Yexue on the desk and pecked it gently.
"Hmm...... It's him! In the materials that we have archived in Cangshengwu, almost all the information about him has been passed by. With no foundation, no background, and suddenly he wants to participate in the succession...... unless he is crazy or stupid!"
Gu Cangsheng raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yexue, who was listening to him with a pretty face, and then beckoned to Xiao Yexue. Xiao Yexue thought he had some secret to say, so she put her delicate little ears to Gu Cangsheng's mouth. Gu Cangsheng smiled, and suddenly reached out and hooked Xiao Yexue's jade neck. Xiao Yexue exhaled in panic, and Gu Cangsheng kissed Xiao Yexue's delicate and beautiful powder face heavily.
Xiao Yexue pouted, and glanced at Gu Cangsheng with a delicate face. Gu Cangsheng laughed and continued.
"We will rest in Guangyang City tonight. Tomorrow morning, you, I and Uncle Han. With those two girls, take the road to the sunset slope and take the path. Strive to reach Hengshui within three days. I have already informed Lian Xin in advance and asked him to prepare a ship for us to sail eastward at Baihengdu...... Ahh......h Don't make a fuss. ”
Xiao Yexue smiled and pinched a lock of her own green silk, constantly teasing it in Gu Cangsheng's ears. It was so itchy that Gu Cangsheng couldn't stop shaking his head, screaming and catching Xiao Yexue's pair of crisp hands.
Xiao Yexue was suddenly restrained and exclaimed in shock. She shrunk the jade hand that was caught by Gu Cangsheng, but she didn't pull it. So she opened her red mouth slightly, and her silver teeth bit heavily on Gu Cangsheng's wrist. Gu Cangsheng let go of his hand in pain, and looked at Xiao Yexue, who was giggling, and rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Okay, okay, I won't bully you!"
Xiao Yexue chuckled and kissed the small tooth marks left by herself on Gu Cangsheng's hand, and asked again by pulling his hand.
"What if we're all gone, what about such a big convoy?"
Gu Cangsheng rubbed his fingers, smiled slightly, and said as a matter of course: "Naturally, someone will deal with it! This time my aunt didn't give it to us for nothing!"
"Night?"
Xiao Yexue pondered for a moment, then glared at her own pair of apricot eyes and looked at Gu Cangsheng in her arms in surprise.
Gu Cangsheng closed his eyes and nodded, took out a piece of letter paper from his arms, and handed it to Xiao Yexue's hand.
"This is what Wuhua left me before leaving...... Hey, they're a bunch of people....... I don't know how much we don't know about it!"
