Pioneer Volume Origin Chapter 32 Rongjing of the Zhongming Festival
When the sun shines on the land of Shenyuan again, a new day begins. Today is an extraordinary day, and the Zhongming Festival in midsummer every year has arrived, which is the most important day for the Shenyuan human race, second only to the New Year. According to legend, the Zhongming Festival is the day when the soul god is desolate and preachy, and the first is the festival to commemorate the first soul god of the Shenyuan human race. On this day, the Shenyuan human race will reunite with the whole family to commemorate the desolation, and with the change of time, the Zhongming Festival has gradually become a family reunion festival.
As soon as dawn dawns, the long street comes alive with people leaving their homes to prepare ingredients for dinner. The atmosphere of the festival is so strong, no matter whether it is good or bad, in the festival, everyone should have a lively and lively life, this is the consensus of the human family. However, not every household is permeated with a festive atmosphere, and in several houses in Rongjing, a dignified atmosphere wafts in the air.
If Feng Zhi was present at this time, he would have recognized the people in the house. These people were all VIPs who participated in the Six Princesses Creek Flower Festival last night, and they were the guests of the lotus pond, and they were all the mainstays of the younger generation of Han Qi's five major families. Like Zhu Xin, Di Ji, Bo Ci and Hong Taohou are the future family helmsmen, of course, Bai Chi is also the future head of the family, but he is now on his way back to Wenchang County, and he has no heart to pay attention to Rongjing's movements.
These people did not sleep peacefully after returning to the mansion from the Xihua Society, because their father did not come back, but stayed in Han Qi's palace. They didn't know what Emperor Han wanted to do, and late at night, the meeting was not over. Then, these days, Jiao sat in the main hall of the mansion for the night, but even after a whole night, there was still no news from the palace. These young people, who are still a little immature, know that this meeting is not so simple.
The sky was dawning, and the atmosphere in these houses was solemn, without a single sound. But these big families still waited quietly, they felt that Emperor Han had no reason or need to do anything excessive. Therefore, even when a new day comes, no one acts rashly.
The entire Shenyuan Continent, especially the forces of the Three Kingdoms of the Central Plains, were all paying attention to Han Qi Rongjing, and many people wanted to know what this Han Qi generation of Divine Monarchs wanted to do. And at this time, the hardest force of this Shenyuan is afraid that Lejilou is going to count, they must send first-hand information to those customers in time, Lejilou will never smash their own signboards. Lejilou has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in Han Qi recently, and Han Qi has faintly become a whirlpool of the entire Shenyuan Continent, but I don't know how many forces will be involved.
Han Qirongjing, the city guards suddenly received an order, and the palace ordered the whole city to be under martial law, and no entrances and exits were allowed. During this festival, the population throughput of Rongjing is terrifying, and if such an order is carried out at this time, it will cause an uproar in the whole city and cause unnecessary negative impact. On the tower of the south gate of Rongjing, the current city guard received such an order. The city guard of Rongjing City is an important position, the city guard is a middle-aged soul king, and to be able to sit in this position, in addition to his advanced cultivation realm, what is more important is that he firmly supports Emperor Han.
After receiving this imperial order, the castle guard did not hesitate, did not raise any doubts, and immediately issued an order of martial law, although this order was so strange. The city guard has a high political sensitivity, he knows that something big is about to happen, he doesn't know what kind of changes Han Qi will go through this time, but he believes in Emperor Han. He believed that Han Qi would definitely be strong under Han Ao's hands, which was the confidence he had when he graduated from Wenxin Academy and Han Ao was just an ordinary prince. As long as Han Ao is still in power for one day, he is willing to guard the city gate for him for one day.
"Fetch my armor. ”
The city has not been guarded for many years, in fact, with his status, he doesn't even use this city tower, but he still stays here every day. The guards were a little surprised, but immediately took the armor of the castle guard.
Han Qi's Palace, which had been closed since yesterday, slowly opened its doors at this time. When the residents of the northernmost section of the long street heard this voice, they subconsciously looked at the palace gate, which was originally a casual glance, but what they saw was a surprise to them.
Behind the slowly opened palace gate, there was a neat queue of Han Qi's forbidden army. The forbidden army is Han Qi's most powerful army, and it is also the sword that Han Qi's royal family can hold on to. The forbidden army is well-equipped, and everyone has a soul envoy or above, and it is an army composed of soul warriors.
"Today, Rongjing is strictly prohibited, and the people are not allowed to enter and leave the house at will. ”
The forbidden army marched out of the palace and controlled all the streets of Rongjing, and the noisy Rongjing became quiet in the time of half a pillar of incense. In the wide streets, no one else could be seen except the guarded Forbidden Army. Wenxin Academy is the most important place in the entire Rongjing except for the imperial palace, but there is no forbidden army guarding it. But each student stayed in his room and didn't take half a step, because when the city guard issued martial law, Dean Xuanhong also issued a grounding order, and sat at the gate of the courtyard with a chair. It's just one person, but no one dares to disobey, because Dean Xuan Hong is a soul saint, and in this era, the soul saint is a terrifying existence.
Xuan Hong sat quietly at the gate of the courtyard, without the slightest obscenity in Huayi Hall that day, with a serious face, and indeed had the majesty of a soul saint. Xuan Hong's eyes didn't focus on his students, nor did he care about the forbidden army on Long Street, but looked at the towering Wenge Tower. Disappointed, he didn't see the wind ending, and the young master didn't seem to care about the masterpiece that came up from him.
After the whole city was under martial law, eleven fast horses galloped out of the palace, this time it was not the imperial envoy who sat on it, but the county guard of Han Qi's eleven counties, and now they needed to rush back to their jurisdiction immediately. Behind these eleven fast horses, there was an old man, who slowly walked out of the palace with the imperial edict in his hand. This old man is not the usual guard, but Meng Zijun, the head of Han Qi's civil officials.
Mencius didn't fall asleep all night last night, but always lay down for a while and wandered in the bedroom. His wife didn't know what was wrong with Mencius, and it had become a little strange since he hadn't returned all night that night. Mencius ignored his wife's chatter, he was so excited now that he couldn't sleep. This feeling has not appeared for a long time, the last time was when Han Ao ascended the throne as the emperor and personally went to Xin County to invite him to the court as an official, Mencius Jun also did not sleep that night, he knew that he had met Ming Jun, and the next day he packed up his belongings and went to Rongjing to take care of Han Ao's world.
Mencius has reached the age of antiquity, and he is becoming more and more incapable of handling government affairs, and he always laments that he is useless. A few days ago, he secretly felt that his limit was approaching, and every old man would have a slight premonition of death. Han Ao persuaded Mencius many times to return to his hometown to spend his old age in peace, but he always refused, saying that he could still do it. But recently, Meng Zijun knew that he really couldn't do it anymore, and he wanted to lie in the small courtyard of Xinjun's hometown and leave quietly.
Before leaving Rongjing, Mencius wanted to proclaim the imperial edict on the day of the Zhongming Festival for the Emperor of Han and witness the earth-shattering changes of Han Qi with his own eyes. Therefore, even after a sleepless night, Mencius was still in good spirits, put on a newly made official robe, and went from home to the palace.
As the Eleventh Horse rode out of Rongjing, the other forces of the Shenyuan Continent got another piece of news from Lejilou. Although Rongjing was under martial law, Lejilou's spies in the city cut off contact with the outside world, but the people in the shadows outside the city still learned some clues and sent the information back to Lejilou. In fact, as long as you rob these county guards, you can know what happened to Han Qi's palace, but no force will do this, so it is a tear with Han Qi's royal family, and this news is only known sooner or later.
All the forces are curious about what this Han Ao wants to do, Han Ao is not such an impulsive person, and today's Han Qi is not destined to be calm.
With the dispatch of the whole city's forbidden army, the residences of the Zhu family, the Bai family, the Di family and the Hong family were a little unpeaceful. The county guards of the eleventh counties left Rongjing, but the heads of the five major families still had no news in the palace. Everyone believed that Han Ao would not do anything out of the ordinary, but the current development of things made people a little suspicious. Although there was no reason, if getting rid of the five major families was beneficial to Han Qi now, Han Ao would definitely do something crazy. But all this didn't do Han Ao any good, it would only make Han Qi weaker.
At this time, the Bo family was the most calm, and the Bo family was able to calm down because Bo Ci was very calm.
"Do you think Emperor Han will really take the five major families?"
Zhu Xin did not stay in the Zhu family's mansion, but came to Bo Ci's room when Dean Xuanhong issued a grounding order.
"If this is beneficial to Han Qi, Han Ao will do it. ”
Bo Ci looked at Zhu Xin and expressed his opinion. Han Ao is recognized as a god monarch, and no one can guess his thoughts, but he can do anything crazy.
"Aren't you worried about the uncle's family?"
"Aren't you worried about the Zhu family?"
Faced with Zhu Xin's inquiry, Bo Ci asked rhetorically.
"I don't worry about the Zhu family, and I don't need to worry about it, but the uncle family needs you to worry. ”
"Since this matter has something to do with Brother Feng, it shouldn't be a bad thing. ”
"But it doesn't look like a good thing right now. ”
"As long as we don't do anything, it won't be a bad thing, since it is Lord Mencius who went to the street to read the emperor's edict, then the uncle family will not do anything. ”
"It seems that you can be so calm, other families are not like you, what does Emperor Han want to do?"
"Let's sit down and play chess, if you can know what Emperor Han wants to do, then Emperor Han will not be made a god monarch. ”
"I keep losing in chess, what's the point. ”
Although he said this, Zhu Xin still sat down, and now he only hoped that playing chess could distract him. Although Zhu Xin has no feelings for the so-called father, he will not be happy if he really loses a relative like this.
