Chapter 457: Pomp and circumstance (Last day, ask for subscription)
The hall was quiet for a while, and when I saw Yang Jian and Li Yuan, their faces were stunned, staring at the lamp on the table.
"Your Majesty. β
Lu Liangsheng took the moire lamppost and removed the paper cover on it, revealing the wick and oil pan of the discrete, so that the emperor could see it clearly.
In fact, he didn't know what it was, he got this Purple Mountain View from the Holy Flame Mingzun, and many things in it were not clear, after all, it was impossible for the other party to write a list for him to accept.
"Your Majesty often stays up late to deal with state affairs, and this lamp is just right for Your Majesty. β
The Taoist who took the porcelain bowl pursed his lips and sat down and muttered, "Poor and generous." β
In addition to Lu Liangsheng's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, Yang Jian, who was holding the lamp and couldn't put it down, excitedly put it away, handed it to Li Yuan behind him, raised his head and swept the screen of the dome with the carved patterns extending to the beams and columns, and the clouds and mountains flowing eastward, and nodded in admiration.
"The Taoist view of the national teacher is so elegant, but I feel that there is less popularity, what kind of identity is the national teacher, how can there be no subordinates who call him. β
Without waiting for Lu Liangsheng to speak, he waved the sleeves of his robe and told Li Yuan, who was holding the lamp behind.
"After I go back, I will send a group of maids to the national teacher, and the palace guards will also send two hundred people to listen to the national teacher at any time. β
"Yes!"
Over there, the Taoist who said 'poor and generous' had just walked a few steps to the Danfang, and suddenly stopped, his eyes lit up, and his excited pace sped up a little.
'Finally a woman......
Yu Guangli watched the Taoist walk to the Danfang, Lu Liangsheng shirked a few words, but Yang Jian insisted on sending it, in his words, the county order has several officials to follow, how can a dignified national teacher travel without pomp?
Belch.....
For some reason, Lu Liangsheng thought that the trip back then was a group of monks and women holding high the guard of honor and singing the fire of the country-Pudu Cihang.
The pomp is there, I'm afraid it's a little scary.
Thinking of this, Lu Liangsheng couldn't help laughing in his heart, beckoned the old man to sit down, added tea, and said some gossip in the hall, and also mentioned the matter of going south to Tianzhi.
"The big boat on the side of the Bahe River has been prepared, and in two days, it will be able to set off, but the waterway is not smooth, and the land route is far away, so I thought, in the future, if this waterway extends in all directions, it can lead to Jizhou, and it can reach Yuhang in the south, and I will also send people to measure along the way, and in the future, this matter will still be completed by my son, what does the national teacher think of this matter?"
Lu Liangsheng frowned slightly, and his fingers subconsciously drew a long line on the tabletop, which meandered north and south with the old man's words.
"Your Majesty, the river is convenient for transportation, it is a move for the benefit of the country and the people, but the project is too big, I have never seen it on the spot, and it is not good to make a decision, but if it is slowly excavated, it will not hurt the people's strength, but it will take a long time. β
Yang Jian laughed, stroked his beard and looked at the sky outside the door: "Therefore, it was handed over to my son, and the next emperor of the Sui Dynasty will complete it." β
After talking for a while, the time was almost noon, Yang Jian was about to leave, Lu Liangsheng sent it to the outside of the mountain gate, watched him leave in a car, thinking that he was about to travel far away and return to Tianzhi, he told others about it, Lu Panba's eight people had never been far away, so they naturally missed home, and they must take it with them, but after thinking about it, there was only Li Sui'an who stayed here.
"Your senior brother and junior brother live in Yuwen Mansion, and the teacher doesn't know about them, and he also told him not to meet for the time being, worried that entering the court with a body of cultivation will attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao and bring disaster to them. β
Li Sui'an traveled abroad for a few years, and he was tired, so he felt good after resting for a while, so he responded.
The next day, the maids sent by the emperor, as well as the palace guards, also came over, which made Sun Yingxian very happy, and immediately wanted to stay, but Lu Liangsheng stared at him and didn't dare to speak, so he went back to the room and changed into a black robe with seven stars painted on his back, wearing a beaded Taoist crown, and came out with a whisk in his hand, but he had the appearance of a master.
In the hall, everyone gathered, Zuo Zhengyang carried two long knives, hanging thin knives at his waist, and the old leather armor on his body was also replaced with a dull two-gear armor, covered with small armor pieces like fish scales, and the cloak pressed under the two long knives behind his back, and many flying knives could be seen hanging on it.
And Lu Pan and the others, who were noisily packing their luggage on the side, were also dressed in armor, which was tightly lined by the muscles, and they looked really tall.
Soon, the toad Taoist walked out of the bookshelf, dressed in a gold-rimmed and black-bottomed robe, and walked with double flippers.
"Liangsheng, let's go. β
.......
The early summer sun is warm, blowing through the bustling long street, the passing people wipe the sweat stains on their foreheads, bargain with the vendors, the merchants who carry the burden shout out of the alley, come to a bustling street, tea shops, restaurants are noisy, the guy holding the wooden plate loudly reports the name of the dish, the guests from afar shake the chest of their clothes, stand on the side of the street and look in, see that there is no seat, and walk down the street in disappointment.
Afterwards, the messenger who had arrived retreated to the eaves with a stick of water and fire.
"The national teacher travels, and the lover leans on the sideβ"
The crowd of people walking back to the side of the street, far away, the sound of horses' hooves came, a group of cavalry carrying long soldiers, in the middle of a black horse, a one-armed man with a double knife urged the horse to walk, stepping on the green bricks to come here, his eyes swept majestically across the side of the street.
In the rear, more than 100 foot soldiers carrying weapons in two columns to guard a sedan chair, and there are Taoist priests on horseback who hold the dust in their hands to follow, and go straight out of the east gate along the long street.
The shaking curtain was slightly opened, and seeing the green forests outside the city, Lu Liangsheng exhaled and put the curtain down again.
"Your Majesty's pomp...... It's embarrassing. β
The sedan chair is spacious, and on the low table opposite, the toad Taoist lies on his side with his head propped up, throws a grape with a web, opens his mouth, rolls his long tongue, pulls it into his mouth, chews comfortably, and spits out the grape skin.
"I think it's not bad to be a teacher...... You, you are used to being alone, and when you become a national teacher, you will have to talk about pomp and circumstance in the future, such as when you were a teacher, it was a sea of people......."
"It's good if Master likes it. β
Lu Liangsheng smiled, quickly hijacked his words, opened the sedan curtain, the bright sunlight fell on his face, he still felt that the landscape outside looked more comfortable.
........
The sky stretched, and in the direction of the long queue, a long river was like a jade belt blocking between the rolling green mountains, and the undulating water waves reflected a sparkling wave.
Swinging reeds, waterfowl jump off the reed poles, spread their wings to brush the water, splash a string of water droplets, catch a small fish and fly into the sky.
Bird's eyes overlook the river below, the wharf is full of people, shouting trumpets to carry goods, soldiers with weapons patrolling by, on the bank of the river, there are several large ships moored, with the flowing water, quietly swaying gently.
