Chapter 19 See My Emperor
"Face saint?" Hua Chong never expected that Pang Ji would let him go to see the emperor with him now!
"Taishi, when you see the palace, do you want to go to the Ministry of Rites to perform the ceremony first? Do you still have to report it to the Inner Palace? Besides, I'm still a white ding? I'm not even a child or a showman. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info. β
Pang Ji waved his hand, shook his head and said, "You can just go with me, now is the time to use you." β
"That's when you need me?"
"Needless to say, the old man has his own measure. β
Pang Ji didn't say anything more, so he bowed his head and said nothing, Pang Feiyan next to him was a little anxious, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to open his mouth, after all, the two had only known each other for one day, although her father had betrothed her, but she was not familiar with it after all. Thinking that Hua Chong was really an official, he was finally the right person, and he gave an explanation to his father, but he couldn't get the free life he wanted, his face was flushed with urgency, he leaned against the wall, and his two hands kept stroking the sword in his hand.
About half an hour later, the officers and soldiers of the brigade surrounded the entire Taishi Mansion, and Hua Chong couldn't help but sigh secretly when he saw this: It turns out that the police are late is an eternal truth......
Pang Ji explained a few words to Pang Long, asking him to deal with the affairs at home, and he ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair, with Hua Chong, and Pang Yi led ten soldiers to accompany and protect him. After a short time, outside the palace, there was a group of people who stopped Pang Ji, Pang Ji personally got off the sedan chair, came to the side of the eunuch on duty, and arched his hand: "Please report to the father-in-law, just say that Pang Ji has found the person he wants." β
"I'm the person the emperor is looking for?" Hua Chong was stunned, shouldn't the emperor be looking for Ying Mengxianchen? Isn't that Bao Zheng? Why would the emperor look for me? whatareyou what?
When the eunuch on duty heard this, he hurriedly entered the palace to report, Pang Ji saw that the eunuch had entered the palace, and walked into the distance like a leisurely stroll, Hua Chong saw that Pang Ji gradually left the guards and Pang Yi, and hurriedly followed.
As soon as I walked to Pang Ji's side, I heard Pang Ji say in a very low voice: "This time with me, it is the old man who has a future for you." β
Seeing that he finally spat out, Hua Chong hurriedly asked, "Hua Chong is a martial artist, above the court, how can I have a future?"
"Long live to establish a school captain in Kaifeng Mansion, in which the school captains and guards are not generals who lead the army, but people in the martial arts like you, who come and go high and fly on land!"
"The emperor wants to establish a special force?" Hua Chong blurted out in surprise.
Pang Ji was puzzled: "What are special forces?"
"Uh... That is, a special kind of army...."Hua Chong wanted to slap himself twice.
"Oh, that's the right word, special forces...... It's kind of interesting, anyway, it's probably what you think. β
When Pang Ji said this, he looked at the people around, lowered his voice, and leaned over to Hua Chong and said:
"Actually, the first emperor has already been aware of the matter of the king of Xiangyang, long live after ascending the throne, especially in the past two years, he has been staring at the actions of the king of Xiangyang! The king of Xiangyang opened a recruitment hall, recruited a lot of martial arts masters, and also had contact with many green forest bandits on the cottage islands, the emperor is very jealous of this kind of snitch who comes without a trace and goes without influence, although these people may not be able to cause any damage to the country, but if something like this today, it will have a great impact if it appears in the homes of important people all over the country at the same time?"
Hua Chong suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and thought secretly, "Yes, once the king of Xiangyang raises an army, he will first order people to go to the homes of the main officials and important ministers of the capital in various places to assassinate them as they are today, and then take advantage of the chaos to raise troops!"
Hua Chong figured out the key, and felt a little shuddered, and his voice trembled a little: "Could it be that the emperor wants to set up this school captain's office, which is a recruitment hall for the king of Xiangyang?"
"Yes, the emperor once summoned us veterans who fought in the past some time ago to discuss this matter together, but unfortunately our subordinates have to find generals to lead the troops, but there are quite a few, if you say that it is very rare to find a character like you. Just now, I saw that you and Xu Chang were fighting, your martial arts were good, and you commanded and dispatched, quite disciplined, so I want to recommend you to be the commander of the guards of this school captain!"
"No wonder those captains and guards in the Three Heroes and Five Righteousness do not protect the emperor, but work in Kaifeng Mansion, it turns out that this school captain is not established to protect the emperor at all, but the emperor uses it to fight against the green forest road!"
Hua Chong, who figured out the reason, felt that he was also suitable for this position, if the emperor really let himself be in charge of this school lieutenant, then the masters in the original book had not all become his own little brothers? Hehe, it was very hilarious when he thought about it, leading many heroes and swordsmen to destroy the island, roaring, Lao Tzu was outside to dominate the rivers and lakes, and he was powerful in the martial arts!
Hua Chong, who was immersed in joy, was pulled back to reality by a sudden scream: "There is a decree in the saint, Xuan Pang Ji will enter the palace to meet him!"
Pang Ji hurriedly said: "Minister Pang Ji has the order!" Then he turned back to Hua Chong and said, "You are here to make the order!"
Hua Chong naturally understood that there must be a lot of rules for entering the palace, and at this moment, he respectfully hugged his fist towards Pang Ji and said, "Please rest assured, Taishi." β
Hua Chong waited outside for more than half an hour, and the eunuch just now appeared again, and said to Hua Chong: "There is a decree in the saint, Xuanhua Chong will meet you." β
Hua Chong strode forward, knelt down and kowtowed to the eunuch, "Grass people, Hua Chong leads the order." β
The eunuch saw that Hua Chong was handsome and knew the rules very well, so he couldn't help but nod and said with a smile: "This little hero is not only a martial artist, but also quite knowledgeable, and our family still blames his lover when he looks at it." β
Hua Chong suddenly tightened the chrysanthemum, the tiger's body shook, and said in a trembling voice: "This father-in-law... Are we... It's time to enter the palace?"
The eunuch covered his mouth and said, "You kid, I know at a glance that you want to be crooked, our family doesn't have this blessing." β
Hua Chong's face was embarrassed, and he didn't dare to speak, so he followed behind the eunuch and entered the palace.
In his previous life, Hua Chong grew up in Tianjin, often went to Beijing to play, and he also went to the Forbidden City, but when he followed the eunuch into the palace, the majestic and solemn feeling made Hua Chong extremely shocked. Huge palaces, heavy palace gates, mighty and majestic forbidden troops, eunuchs and palace maids shuttling back and forth, in Hua Chong's view, all of them are majestic in heaven, compared to the strict Forbidden City blocked by tourists in later generations, this is the real palace!
Hua Chong said secretly: No wonder Taizong can ignore his brother's affection for the throne, no wonder King Xiangyang recruited heroes from all over the world to plot the throne, the previous dynasty Li Shimin Xuanwumen launched a coup d'Γ©tat, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin yellow robe, in my opinion, such a day, can live a day, this life is not in vain!
Just when Hua Chong was thinking wildly, the eunuch who led the way stopped, and outside the closed palace gate in front of Hua Chong, there was a fat eunuch, about fifty years old, with a miserable white fat face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a puffed nose and a big mouth, but unfortunately he didn't have a beard, otherwise he was almost the same as Cao Cao on the stage.
The eunuch who led the way saluted this person, and then said to Hua Chong: "Hua Zhuangshi, our family is not qualified to go further, this is the head of the Inner Mansion Dutang Guo, you can go in with him." β
"Guo Huai!" Hua Chong said secretly in his heart: "It turns out that this person is the big eunuch who planned the case of changing the tanuki for the prince, and he doesn't look like a good person." β
Guo Huai glanced at Hua Chong and said to the eunuch who led the way: "He is Hua Chong?"
Hua Chong hugged Guo Huai's fist: "The grass people are Hua Chong, and I have seen Manager Guo." β
"Well, come with us. β
The little eunuch next to him opened the door, Guo Huai took Hua Chong to a two-story building, Hua Chong looked up, there was a plaque in front of the building, with three big characters "Yaowu Building"!
"This is where Zhanzhao performs, hehe, but it's a pity that this opportunity is mine. β
Guo Huai stopped in front of the building, knelt down, and kowtowed upstairs: "Hua Chong to see you!"
Hua Chong also hurriedly knelt behind Guo Huai, took a breath of true breath, and said loudly: "Grass people Hua Chong, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
After a while, a small eunuch came out of the building and said: "Long live the purpose, Xuanhua answered in the Wulou." β
"The grass people are in charge of the order. β
At this time, Hua Chong never dared to be careless, this palace is inside, no more than anywhere else, if one is not careful, it is a crime! It was still Guo Huai who took Hua Chong to the second floor of Yaowu Tower with the little eunuch.
The place above the second floor is very spacious, there are only a few tables and chairs, a large open space in the middle, and there are weapons racks and stone piers and stone locks and other things, it turns out that this Yaowu Building is the emperor's place to practice martial arts. In the past, the emperor, whether he was or not, had to practice civil and military skills, read military books, classics, and martial arts, and knew a little bit about martial arts, otherwise the emperor couldn't understand what the ministers said in the court, so how could he get it.
Guo Huai took Hua Chong upstairs and kowtowed to the emperor, Hua Chong did the same, anyway, what Guo Huai did, he did it himself, just learn to come.
After the salute was finished, he heard a rather magnetic voice and said slowly: "Manager Guo, Hua Chong is flat." β
"Long live thanks. β
The two got up, Hua Chong secretly glanced at the person who spoke, and saw that there were only two people on the opposite side, a standing Pang Ji, and a sitting young man, obviously the current son - Song Renzong Zhao Zhen. Emperor Renzong ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and he is only twenty years old this year, although he is not extraordinary, but there is a kind of majesty between his eyebrows, which may be the so-called emperor's appearance.
Emperor Renzong held a cup of tea in his hand, took a sip, and said softly in his rather magnetic voice: "Except for Hua Chong and Pang Taishi, go down, you are not allowed to come in without my life." β
Guo Huai hurriedly received the order, took all the eunuchs down the Yaowu Tower, and left two little eunuchs to stand at the bottom of the stairs and wait.
Seeing that everyone had left, Renzong said to Hua Chong: "Hua Chong, come close and let me take a look." β
"Yes!" Hua Chong strode in front of Renzong, Emperor Renzong nodded, and praised: "Good looks, heroic spirit, is a young hero." β
"The grass people don't dare to be. β
"Hehe, you don't have to be so restrained, I'm looking for a character like you, I don't want to be just a few days away, Master Pang is looking for a young hero like you, I heard what martial saint you are learning from?"
"The family teacher Penglai of the East China Sea Lotus Sect sent Qian Wanli and Le Tiancheng, the sect master of my Lotus Sect, the Nine Lotus Zhenren, who is known as the 'Martial Saint' in the rivers and lakes. β
"Okay, okay, I want to establish a school lieutenant in Kaifeng Mansion to recruit martial arts talents like you, like what Taishi Pang encountered today, if it weren't for your presence, my Great Song Dynasty would have almost broken a beam, so I deeply feel that this matter must be handled as soon as possible. Since Taishi Pang brought you here, Hua Zhuangshi must have extraordinary skills, I Yaowu Tower, which was built by Emperor Taizu, was used by the emperors of previous dynasties to practice martial arts, today I will take a look at Hua Zhuangshi, how is your martial arts?"
"Obey the Divine Commandment. β
"Well, okay, I heard Master Pang say that you Jianghu people have a nickname, you call it 'Flower Butterfly', but right?"
"The gangsters in the rivers and lakes have a dirty saint. β
"Don't be polite, you can show me what kind of 'flower butterfly' you are today, so that I can feast my eyes. β
Hua Chong secretly sneered: Forgive you for living in the harem, and you have never seen what light gong is, I will let you know why Lao Tzu is called "Flower Butterfly"!
