Chapter 32: The Reunion of the Old Man (2)
Liu Jin nodded and looked at the person who was sitting, as if asking for instructions. www.biquge.info Nangong Yu wondered in his heart, thinking that Liu Jin was already the most powerful person among the eunuchs, who else did he need to ask for instructions? A thought suddenly appeared in his heart, his body trembled, and he looked at the person sitting in surprise. The black shadow nodded slightly, then got up and left, and Liu Jin followed.
At noon the next day, a few little eunuchs came, and brought clean clothes and a large wooden barrel, into which buckets and buckets of hot water were poured into the large buckets, and in a short time the cell was steaming. One of the little eunuchs said, "The villain waits for the master to bathe and change clothes." Nangong Yu was used to being served before, and he was not hypocritical, he sat there and asked the little eunuch to shave his face and trim his nails, and then got off the barrel, washed it and put on new clothes. The little eunuch said: "The carriage is already waiting outside, please get on the carriage." ”
Nangong Yu didn't ask much, walked out of the cell, and finally saw the light of day. Xiao Jiu was already waiting outside, looked at his new appearance, and said with a smile: "This is the Nangong brother I know, and his demeanor is still the same." Nangong Yu smiled and got into the carriage with him.
The carriage drove out of the North Town Mansion and made its way through the streets, and after a while it was far away from the crowds, and no noise could be heard. Nangong Yu opened the curtain and saw that there was a magnificent Forbidden City in front of the meeting. Five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, all of them are the elite of the Imperial Forest Army.
The carriage entered the Forbidden City from the side gate of the Xuanwu Gate, bypassed the Imperial Garden, and passed through the Chuxiu Palace, Yikun Palace, and Yongshou Palace all the way from the side gate. Nangong Yu looked at the carved beams and pavilions along the way, the majestic palace, and said in surprise at this time: "Qianqing Palace is the emperor's bedroom, and outsiders who trespass will be killed." Xiao Jiu smiled: "I know the rules better than you, and I'm also sitting in the car, will I kill myself?"
After a while, the carriage stopped, and Xiao Jiu led him to the West Garden of the Qianqing Palace, where he met Liu Jin in the garden. Xiao Jiu hurriedly leaned over, walked two steps quickly, knelt on one knee and saluted: "The villain knocks on Gonggong Liu." Liu Jin said "um" and said, "Leave it to me, you go down." Xiao Jiu was ordered to retire.
Liu Jin looked at Nangong Yu and said, "You should guess who wants to see you, right?" Nangong Yu said: "It's the Holy One." Liu Jin said: "It's good to know, and you have to abide by the rules." Nangong Yu nodded.
Liu Jin took him into the main hall of the West Garden, and the Imperial Forest Army was guarding outside the palace, but there were no defenders in the palace, but they did not specifically watch out for Nangong Yu.
The front hall is extremely spacious, in the middle is a royal case, the dragon chair behind is empty, and a bronze crane stands on both sides. Liu Jin opened the purple embroidered curtain on the aisle and entered the inner hall, where he could smell the faint aroma of ambergris alone. Finally, he stopped in front of the door of the inner hall, and Liu Jin took him to kneel down and kowtow and said, "The old slave brought Zhu Yu." ”
"When" a magic weapon sounded, Liu Jin said: "Yes." "Took Nangong Yu into the inner hall. The hall is like a Taoist dharma field, but the cultivation is resplendent and full of royal style. In the middle of the lotus platform built with brass sits a middle-aged man wearing a purple and gold crown and a black silk robe, playing with a jasper floating dust in his hand, looking down on the two, he is Ming Shizong, Zhu Houxi.
The two knelt down again, and Liu Jin said, "See the saint." Nangong Yu also said it like him. Zhu Houxi seemed to be very tired and said "um", "Get up and talk back." After the two got up, Liu Jin walked to the side of the lotus platform, leaving Nangong Yu alone below.
Zhu Houxi said lightly: "I am the true dragon emperor, but you have a yellow dragon cloak on your body, you should understand what this means." Do you think I should kill you?" Nangong Yu said: "The yellow dragon on the villain's body was obtained purely by chance, Tan Mian and Xiao Jiu are both witnesses, and they will never dare to compare with the emperor's real dragon." ”
Zhu Houxi said: "I don't need to understand the truth when I kill people, and if I don't kill you now, I won't listen to your allegiance words last night, do you know what the real reason is?" Nangong Yu said: "The grass people don't know." Zhu Houxi sighed leisurely and said meaningfully: "Because the Zhu family can't kill the Zhu family anymore." ”
Nangong Yu's body shook and looked up at him. I saw Zhu Houxi's face was graceful, his appearance was dignified, not only had the fairy wind of the bones, but also had royal prestige, but his face was as pale as paper, leaning on the handrail on the lotus platform, looking weak. The weather was so hot, and he was still wearing a silk cotton robe, but he still looked cold.
Zhu Houxi continued: "My ancestors drove away your ancestors, but in the end, we are all the same ancestor, and we are all surnamed Zhu. In my lifetime, Heaven has sent you to test my ways. It is only natural that I kill you, but I don't kill you, which can be regarded as paying off the debt of Emperor Jianwen for our 'Chengzu' lineage. ”
Nangong Yu could only say: "Thank the emperor for not killing him." Zhu Houxi said: "My body is cold, my body is weak, and my son has been seriously ill and bedridden in the past two years. I started to ask the heavens, but I dreamed of the reprimand of the grandfather in my dream, and blamed the grandfather for robbing your descendants of the country, so I punished me and the son, and asked me to reread the "Quotations of the Taizu" ten times. I bathed and fasted for seven days, and revisited the "Quotations of Taizu", and then I realized that there was a fire dragon ball hidden in the Western Regions, which only people with the blood surnamed Zhu could have, and only it could cure the cold on my body. I knew that it was the great grandfather who appeared, so I gave up some blood to Wei Mei, made him into blood powder, and went to the Western Regions with Jinyiwei to get the Fire Dragon Ball, but I didn't expect you to appear. Not only did you get the Fire Dragon Ball, but you also became one with the Fire Dragon, is this Grandpa Tai hinting at something? Only one of your descendants can save me, and it also implies that the two of us will be reconciled?"
Only then did Nangong Yu understand the cause and effect, and said: "Emperor Chengzu and Emperor Huizong were both grievances in previous lives, and the grass people never thought about it so far-reaching. As long as the Ming Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, the grass people are willing to be the people for a lifetime. If the fire dragon qi of the grass people can relieve the worries of the saints, the grass people are willing to serve. ”
Zhu Houxi was overjoyed and said: "I know that your appearance is arranged by the great grandfather, and you will never let me down." Let's take a look at my condition first, can I treat it?" Nangong Yu replied and walked down the steps of the white marble towards the lotus platform.
Liu Jin hesitated: "This... Zhu Houxi smiled and said: "It's okay, I sincerely resolve grievances, and my grandfather will never harm me." Nangong Yu sat on the edge of the lotus platform and began to check Zhu Houxi's pulse, only to feel that his hand was cold, as if he had touched an ice cube. He is not a doctor after all, and when asked the reason, Zhu Houxi said: "I take Danshi all year round, this is a side effect of Danshi, and over time it has become what it is now." ”
Nangong Yu nodded, and transported a fire dragon true qi into Zhu Houxi's meridians, Zhu Houyu trembled violently, and Liu Jin said nervously: "Master?" Zhu Houyu calmed down and gestured to him to indicate that he was fine.
Nangong Yu gradually strengthened the strength of his true qi, and said, "Can the emperor still stand it?" Zhu Houxi smiled lightly: "I am also a member of the Zhu family, of course I can stand it." After a while, Zhu Houxi's face became ruddy, and his forehead was slightly sweating, and after persisting like this for two quarters of an hour, Nangong Yu slowly withdrew his strength.
Zhu Houxi let out a slow breath and opened his eyes. Liu Jin said: "What does the master think?" Zhu Houxi smiled: "Comfortable, I haven't felt this kind of heat for a long time, and the fire dragon's true qi is really extraordinary." Nangong Yu had already retreated and said, "The cold qi in the saint's body is too heavy, and I am afraid that the fire dragon true qi that is only once will be difficult to cure." Zhu Houxi said happily: "It's okay, the coming days will be long, in the future, if you come to give me a true qi every day, I will reward you well." ”
Nangong Yu said: "The grass people don't dare to ask for any rewards, I just hope that when the emperor gets better, the grass people will go back to visit their families." Zhu Houxi smiled and said: "My reward is a holy decree, you can't do without it, I promise that you will be able to reunite with your family soon." Liu Jin, take Zhu Yu to the warm pavilion next door to rest, he used a lot of true qi, prepared more bird's nest and bear paws, and let him make up for it. After Liu Jin received the order, he left Xiyuan with Nangong Yu and came to the Warm Pavilion.
