Chapter 33 - Arrival in Kyoto
"No, you can't. ”
Linghui shook his head and then said, "But the source of the materials of this calligraphy can be traced back, maybe there will be an unexpected gain." ”
Qin Shou didn't continue to ask, but secretly remembered this matter, don't let yourself find out anything, otherwise it won't work even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes.
"So what is this guy going to do?"
Li Wei also returned with a bow and arrow in hand at this time, glanced at the entourage who had died of poison, and shook his head,
"At dawn, you go and inform the Taishou Mansion, and I will tell Your Majesty about this matter. Linghui said in a deep voice, this matter is over for the Praetorian Guard, and as for the later game, it is not something that they can participate in at this level.
The others looked at each other and nodded, and simply cleaned up the corpses in the courtyard and continued to rest.
"What did the Qin family do a hundred years ago..."
Qin Shou couldn't help but sigh, almost a hundred years later, the enemy family was still thinking about the Qin family, how big a hatred must this be?
.......
Not long after dawn, Qin Shou and his entourage set off again, and as for the Taishou Mansion, they also knew what happened in the official post last night at this time, which frightened Tongzhou Taishou and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World.
The Praetorian Guard was assassinated in Tongzhou, and it was the entourage next to His Royal Highness the Prince who joined forces with the spies of the enemy country.
Once this kind of thing is investigated, I don't know how many people are unlucky.
Kyoto Jinluan Palace, the atmosphere of the early dynasty today is not very good,
Because the empress was angry.
The civil and military officials in front of the palace all bowed their heads at this time, and the king of Zhendong, led by the generals, stood in front of him with a pale face to bear the anger of the empress...
But he couldn't refute it,
The matter of the Tongzhou official post has been spread to the imperial court, and which of the hundred officials who can appear in the Jinluan Palace has not become an old fox who has become a fine old fox, and he can see through the clues in this attack and killing incident at a glance.
Everyone knows very well that at this time, His Majesty is just taking the opportunity to knock on the king of Zhendong,
However, the king of Zhendong was also glad in his heart at this time that the group of Praetorian Guards at the Tongzhou Guanyi did not have an accident, otherwise, let alone his own son, even he would not be able to carry this black cauldron...
"King Zhendong, I limit you to find out who is behind the scenes within a month, do you have any objections?"
The empress's majestic voice came from behind the heavy jade screen,
"Minister, obey the order. ”
The king of Zhendong agreed, and if the empress did not let him investigate this matter, he would also pursue it.
He wanted to know who in this Great Qin Dynasty would dare to calculate, even he, the king of Zhendong.
"Tongzhou Taishou dereliction of duty should be beheaded, but it is not easy for him to gain fame in the examination, so he will be removed from the position of Tongzhou Taishou from now on and transferred to Changle County to serve as the prefect, and he will not be promoted within ten years!"
"Border Nalanxiong should be punished for his ineffective supervision, but Nian has a merit in the previous battle of Changle County, so the credit is offset by the demerits. ”
......
The empress soon made some rewards and punishments.
The position of Tongzhou Taishou is fat, if the empress wants to arbitrarily appoint and dismiss Tongzhou Taishou in normal times, I am afraid it will cause competition between factions.
But this time, the old school was already in the first place, and it could no longer continue to make a fuss about this matter.
After the end of the early dynasty, the empress did not continue to stay in the Jinluan Palace, but moved to the ancestral temple of the Great Qin Imperial Family, which can be described as the real forbidden place of the Great Qin Dynasty, even if it is a royal master, few people can set foot here.
The empress in the dragon robe stood in the ancestral temple and looked up at the many portraits hanging on the wall in front of her, these were the emperors of the Great Qin Dynasty...
And in front of these portraits is a spear, which is Daqin's Zhenguo artifact: the Purple Gold Cloud Thunder Spear.
A golden light like a thin snake swirls in the spear god,
"How long will it take to condense the second Emperor Qi?"
The empress looked at that golden light with an expressionless face, every generation of monarchs of the Great Qin Dynasty must be recognized by the Zhenguo artifact.
When each generation of monarchs succeeds to the throne, they will be blessed by the imperial qi of the Zhenguo artifact, so as to directly obtain the strength of the seven-rank martial artist, and the most important thing for the contemporary monarch is to let the Zhenguo artifact condense the next imperial qi.
The seemingly empty ancestral temple sounded an old ethereal voice at this time, but no one was seen.
"At the current pace, it will take about another 50 years. ”
"After fifty years, are you really not afraid of the Great Qin Dynasty falling in my hands?"
The empress's tone gradually filled with a little coldness, three years ago she was selected by the Zhenguo artifact to become the first empress since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, in the eyes of many people think that this is the so-called Mandate of Heaven, but in fact, no one knows better than her.
She was nothing more than a victim, and from the moment she was born, she was destined to be a victim of the entire royal family...
"This is Your Majesty's duty, not ours. ”
Then the entire ancestral temple fell into silence again, and the empress left after a long time.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and Qin Shou and the others finally arrived in Kyoto after a long journey.
The griffons did not fly directly into Kyoto, and stopped not far from the city gate.
"Qin Shou, after entering the city, you will stay at the Fuyuan Inn in Kyoto and prepare for the imperial examination, during which I will let Li Wei be by your side, if you have any needs, you can ask him. ”
Qin Shou nodded and didn't feel the slightest surprise,
The empress let him come to Kyoto in advance just out of protection, at least no one in Kyoto would dare to blatantly want to kill him.
As for how he will be treated in the future, it all depends on his performance in the imperial court examination.
Soon the group separated, and Linghui returned to the palace with the rest of the Praetorian Guards to report to His Majesty.
Following Li Wei into Kyoto seems to have come to another world, which is thousands of times more prosperous than Changle County, and even Tongzhou, which is the transportation center of Daqin, is a little overshadowed by comparison.
"Young Master Qin, if you need anything during this time, just tell me. ”
Li Wei walked in front and said, "You don't need to worry too much during this period, no one dares to mess around at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Kyoto here." ”
"No one should notice me as a nobody, right?"
Li Wei: ......
Is the seven-year-old second-grade Confucian still a nobody?
This Young Master Qin didn't realize how many pairs of eyes were watching him in the capital now,
"Hey, why are there so many people in front, let's go and see?"
Qin Shou followed behind Li Wei and noticed that the crowd in front of him seemed to increase all of a sudden, and there were bursts of cheers.
"That's the Fuyuan Inn. ”
Li Wei said with a smile: "This is the most famous inn in Kyoto, it is estimated that there are talented people from other places who chant poems in public and so on, and the common people are cute to see these." ”
Qin Shou's eyes lit up, chanting poetry against him?
If you say there's something about pretending, I'm not sleepy!
But at this moment, a sound of breaking the air came, Qin Shou turned his head slightly and stretched out his little hand as if he was grabbing something.
Huh? Is it a ball?
"What is this?"
Qin Shou stared at the red sphere in his hand with a small bell hanging from it,
"It seems to be a hydrangea. Li Wei said casually: "Every year at this time, talented people from all over the country gather together, and there are women from large families in Kyoto who throw hydrangeas to recruit relatives and want to find a wishful husband." ”
"Is the person who picked up the hydrangea going to marry her?"
Qin Shou paused slightly, as if he remembered something.
As soon as these words were finished, Qin Shou and Li Wei reacted at the same time, and the two of them looked at each other with big eyes.
