Chapter 16 Temples and Rivers and Lakes

In the tenth year of Maoyuan, the first day of June.

Today is the day of the two great court meetings in January, and the imperial capital Tiange has already shuttled between the frames when the sky is still bright, either the light car is simple, or the servants and servants are left and right to pick up the lights, and there are also Wenchen who can't get into the carriage and only sit in a sedan chair, resulting in a sedan chair carried by two or four people from time to time to make a kazkaz sound.

As the highest courtesy given by the Tongqi Dynasty to Wenchen, the eight-carrying sedan chair is not allowed to appear on the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, because the only teacher and advisor of the current empress, Mr. Eight or Two Meters Confucius, is only sitting in a sedan chair carried by four people into the palace.

It's not that he is not qualified to sit in a sedan chair, but he feels that such a large sedan chair is like a person's bedroom, too big is not conducive to the continuation of a person's luck and vitality, which involves the knowledge of Zhou Yi's gossip and life.

He once advised his most proud female disciple, Empress Ehuang, not to make his bedroom too big, which is not good for him.

Fortunately, later he felt that the luck of a country was great, especially now that eight points of the luck of the Tongqi Dynasty fell on the empress Ehuang, with such an auspicious body, the so-called feng shui can not be cared about all the way.

Tiange City, Yudao Street.

Four huge lanterns in front of the gate of the Dzi Royal Mansion illuminated the door for several feet, and more than a dozen horsemen stood quietly at the door.

The door opened from the inside at this time, and two small men went out first with lanterns, and then an old man crossed the high threshold with a lantern hunched over, and then turned around and sent the lantern to the threshold, and a burly general with gold chain mail stepped out of the door.

"Master, how many times have you said it, you don't have to send it to the court meeting in the future, why don't you listen?" Tang Cheng, the king of the dzi iron hat, said in a rare low voice, and while crossing the threshold, he stretched out his hands to support the old man with the lantern and said.

"Hehe, the little cubs are all in charge, there is not much place to use the old man, only the handyman of the lantern is in my hand twice a month, what's the matter? That's it, you also think the old man is in the way?" Although the old man had a questioning meaning in his words, he kept a smile on his face.

"How dare you, how dare you, isn't this worrying about your body?" Tang Cheng's attitude was humble, far from the image of the terrifying general Wang on weekdays.

The old man's name is Mei Guanhai, and on the night of the Tang family's annihilation, the Tang family almost disappeared completely because of the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and almost decided to die in the world.

Tang Cheng, who was crying in the dry well, became the only reason for him to continue to live, that night he held Tang Cheng in his infancy and killed through the sixteen encirclements, the world only knew that someone could be called Yama and slaughtered three thousand armor warriors in one night, but he didn't know that there were still sixteen martial arts masters who had died without a corpse.

"Old man, I patted my chest and promised your grandfather that one day when my Xiaomei is here, I will give the Tang family's descendants a day of lanterns. ”

That year, the Tang family was prosperous, and the mother of a country came from the Tang family.

That year, Mei Guanhai was thirty years old, and it was ten years since he reformed his ways, and his aunt and grandmother Xiang Xiaoyu died for ten years.

The rivers and lakes have one less Meiyan King, and the Tang family has one more lantern leader.

The entire Tianzhu Palace, including the little prince Tang Yulou, has to be honored as Mei Guanhai's ancestor, he is not a member of the Tang family, but he is better than the Tang family.

After instructing the left and right little servants to take care of the old man, Tang Cheng stepped on a sweaty and bloody iron horse and rode away.

"Ancestor, the prince is far away, the little ones are waiting for you to go back and rest. A little servant took the lantern from the old man's hand and said respectfully.

Mei Guanhai nodded, and said in a low voice: "Concubine, Cheng'er has become a tiger bear, when Yu'er grows up again, I will accompany you, and wait for me." ”

Sixty years ago, there was a magic lamp in the rivers and lakes, called Soul Killing, and sixty years ago, there was a pearl in the Tang family, called Tang Feichen.

Meeting is goodbye!

......

Chongwen Palace, brightly lit.

Empress Ehuang sat on the phoenix couch with a gloomy face, and there were stacks of music books on the table in front of her, of which more than a dozen were opened, and dozens of them were scattered on the floor of the main hall.

These texts come from the governors of the state capitals, and the content is surprisingly similar, that is, now the world is peaceful, and the same Qiguo is in the world, and there is no longer a need for too many troops, especially the defenders stationed in the state capitals.

The dozen or so books on the table were countersigned by the six ministries, and then transferred to the three ministers of the cabinet and auxiliary ministers for signature, and then submitted to the empress for reading Zhu for approval.

Although these recitals were not written by the six ministries and the important ministers of the cabinet, many of them were from the six ministries, and many of them held official positions.

These dozen or so cantata were written by scribes who served in Beijing, and it cannot be ruled out that they were just spoken out on behalf of others.

Although these officials are still a minority compared to the officials of the whole world, dozens of officials from the capital and local governments played the same content at the same time, so it is worth scrutinizing.

"Hmph, it's really good that the scar forgets the pain!"

Empress Ehuang snorted coldly, beckoned, and immediately a eunuch came out to pick up the scattered notebook and put it away again.

"Your Majesty, Prince Tang has already crossed the Dragon Boat Festival, and he should have arrived at the gate of the palace now, do you think he was directly invited into the palace?" Lu Dayong, the eunuch of Chongming Palace's palm print, walked out of nowhere, and stood behind the right hand of Empress Ehuang after bowing his eyebrows.

"Oh, why is he so much earlier today?" asked the empress, leaning lazily on the phoenix couch, with some surprise. In the past, Tang Cheng's temperament was not even very happy with the previous dynasty, let alone arriving outside the palace gate early.

"Lord Wang, he is wearing armor and a Tang knife today. Lu Da used a feminine voice to make the entire hall seem to be a little colder, but the corners of his mouth were raised with interest.

Empress Ehuang smiled after hearing this.

"Xuan, allow him to ride into the palace. ”

Although she is a woman, the power of the emperor is not inferior to her ancestors.

Tang Cheng finally did not ride into the palace, and after dismounting outside the palace gate, he waited for a while, and then the little eunuch read out the edict and led him into the palace.

Outside the palace gate, a group of officials of all sizes are standing waiting for the arrival of the time of the last dynasty, only the emperor Confucius is alone, at the moment is in a side hall on the soft collapse of the arm support the head napping, there are two maids on the side trembling looking, for fear that the old gentleman will accidentally smash on the table.

They don't care if the table is broken or not, they are watching out for the old gentleman's head, which is related to their head.

"Tang Cheng knocks to see Your Majesty!" Entering the Chongwen Palace, Tang Cheng held the knife with one hand, knelt down on one knee, and made a big salute in a fake way, and a copy of "Heaven and Earth Jun" immediately flew from the other side of the phoenix couch, which was given to the empress by Mr. Confucius, but it was used to smash people at the moment.

The palm print eunuch Lu Da laughed out loud with his mouth covered, and was glared at by Tang Cheng fiercely, and then the latter stood up with a smile and walked towards the empress, saying as he walked: "Why don't you go and move a chair for your prince?"

"Well, the minion is going now. Lu Da happily moved a chair and waited for Tang Cheng to sit down, with a smug expression.

"Sister, are you not willing to smash me with a book for this rare gift? Aren't you afraid that the old man will know about his book and feel sorry for him?" In the whole world, I am afraid that the only people who dare to be so disrespectful to Mr. Kong are Tang Cheng and his son Tang Yulou.

The former calls the old gentleman an eight-tael-meter old man, and the latter calls the old gentleman Lao Kong.

Where there is a father, there is a son!

The empress glared at Tang Cheng, this baby brother has only been serious when he fights since he was a child, and at other times he is simply hanging, I really don't understand how such a pitiful brother and sister take a fancy to him.

Lu Dayong had already put away the copy of "Heaven and Earth Monarch", and then he didn't know where to hide it, and only the two sisters and brothers were left in the entire hall.

"Since you're already wearing armor and saber, I won't talk nonsense with you, you can take a look at these scripts first. The empress pointed to the notebook on the table and said to Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng stood up and walked to the table, first took out a bag and handed it to the empress, then picked up a stack of notebooks and sat back on the chair.

The empress opened the bag suspiciously, and the word "Dongjiang" was written on an envelope, and she whispered: "Yu'er?"

Then open the envelope.

......

After nightfall, Jiankang City does not see the usual noise, but the night that should have been quiet was broken by two black shadows.

Sickness, illness, illness.

Two nocturnal black shadows emerged from the backyard of the Rouge Rain Building, directly on the rooftop, and ran to the center of the city.

In the small courtyard of Basho in the city, everything was peaceful and quiet, but suddenly there was a sudden murder.

Two black shadows climbed over the wall, and as soon as they stood still in the front yard, they were startled by the sound of two breaking winds.

These were two knives, two different knives, and the owner of the knife had already taken his weapon on the other side, and they looked at the two men in black like hungry jackals into a flock.

The two sides did not speak, and they directly met the move.

Zhu Qiyi and Xiao Yidao are already all seven-rank strength, especially Xiao Yidao finally succeeded in breaking through to the seven-rank realm after cultivating the "Star Breaking Heaven Sword Technique" for three days.

The four of them were shocked at the same time after the first move, and the four of them were all seven-grade, and the one who came was not good.

The four figures crisscrossed the courtyard, the man in black suffered and had no weapon in his hand, while Zhu Qiyi and Xiao Yidao had a guy in their hands, although they could not win immediately because of the proximity of the martial arts realms of the two sides, it was enough to suppress the other party to be invincible.

The man in black knew that he couldn't do anything, so he had to get out with all his might, and the two of them attacked at the same time.

Zhu Qiyi's internal strength was strong, using the knife as a neduction machine to leak out, and a bright light shot out from the body of the knife, although it did not have much lethality, but it was enough to bluff people.

The black-clothed man who attacked him was startled, and while he turned over and retreated, his whole body exerted all his internal strength, barely arousing the qi in front of him.

Bang!

The knife hit the internal strength, and the autumn colors were evenly divided, but Zhu Qiyi was still surging in internal force, and the qi was long.

And the face under the veil of the man in black was already full of beads of sweat, and the qi in his body was disordered, and his stamina was insufficient.

On the other side, Xiao opened and closed with a knife, and a broken knife was vigorous, and he had already slashed the two forearms of another man in black with the back of the knife.

Although his forearm was as hard as a stone, he could already hear the moaning sound of the man in black after each hard carry.

It was impossible to get out immediately, and at this time, the courtyard was suddenly brightly lit, and the little prince Tang Yulou led five girls and an old Jiu Youzai to appear in the corridor.

The next day, the most famous rouge rain building in Jiankang City was closed, and someone saw Hua Niang taking a few carriages out of the east of the city, rushing to the east.

In a few days, in Tiange City, thirteen officials, including the servants of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, were demoted to commoners and never hired.

At the same time, a fast horse went out of the city, bringing a letter of dragon and phoenix holy decree, and forty-five officials from various state capitals, big and small, first entered the prison and then asked about the merits and losses.
