The carriage traveled to the noon gate, and the guards guarded it very seriously. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There is etiquette for entering and exiting the noon gate, and there is a difference between three, six, nine, etc.

Only when the gold medal was shown did he retreat, and he went out of the palace in the bright light.

The teahouse was overturned, and I could only hear the sound and couldn't see it.

The next day, at three o'clock, after the young Kangxi made proper arrangements, he and Wang Kai disguised themselves as two little eunuchs, and sat in a carriage parked at the gate of the Qianqing Palace with Suo Etu, who was wearing the clothes of the imperial guards, and the person driving the carriage was the horseman on Suo Etu's house, and he was also a close confidant of Suo Etu.

In this way, a group of four of them, starting from the gate of the Qianqing Palace in the palace, the horseman drove all the way and whipped up, so as not to be afraid that he should be restrained in the palace, but he was still as careless as he was outside the palace, and everywhere he went, all the eunuchs and palace maids who saw this fast-moving carriage would avoid it from a distance and dare not come forward, and after the carriage was far away, they would be relieved to hurry boldly.

It took about a quarter of an hour for the horsemen of the Nasoetu Mansion to drive the carriage to the noon gate of the outer city of the palace. After hesitating for a moment, the horseman felt that among the people sitting in the carriage behind him, except for his little master Suo Etu, among the other two teenagers wearing eunuch uniforms, one of them must be the current Emperor Kangxi, and he should go out of the palace at noon.

Because the noon gate of the outer city of the palace is the place where the emperor issued an edict and ordered an expedition. The main entrance of it is usually only allowed by the emperor, the queen enters once when the emperor is married, and the three people who are the champion, the top eye, and the flower in the palace examination can walk out of this gate once. The ministers of civil and military affairs enter and exit the east gate, and the princes of the clan enter and exit the west gate.

Every time this horseman accompanied his young master Suo Etu in and out of the palace, he was from the west side door, and this time, he felt that Emperor Kangxi was in the carriage behind him, if he walked through the doors on both sides, this would be a great disrespect to the emperor.

After hesitating and thinking about it for a while, the coachman who was sitting in front of the carriage and driving the carriage finally decided that it was important to save his life and chose the noon gate. So, after stopping for a moment, he drove the carriage slowly towards the noon gate, which was one foot away in front of him.

"Bold, you horseman who doesn't know life or death, dare to trespass on the palace gate. Do you know that this noon gate is where the current Long Live Lord can freely enter and exit the palace, even my first warrior of the Qing Dynasty, when the prime minister Ao Baiao, and the minister of Gu Bianlong, they dare not enter and exit the palace through the noon gate, they can only enter and exit through the west gate. You are the groom of the minister of the DPRK and the Central People's Court, you are really bold, I don't think you don't want to live.

"Today, I am glad to be uncle, I don't care about you in general, you quickly report your name, which minister of the court is your lord, I will check the registration book for entering and leaving the palace, and then decide whether to let you and your carriage go out through the east gate or the west gate. ”

When the groom drove the carriage slowly to a distance of four or five feet from the noon gate, he was blocked by a general of the palace Ouchi guards guarding the noon gate in front of him, with more than 20 Ouchi guards, who took the lead with his hands behind his back, calmly walked to the side of the groom sitting in front of the carriage, his face was not half gloomy, but he raised his head in a bluff and scolded loudly.

Before the nervous and jumpy groom could speak, a guard under his command came from the side, attached to the ear of this arrogant general manager, and whispered and said: "Lord Zong, this groom is humble, he is the servant of Lord Suo Etusuo's mansion, the guard of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and half an hour ago, he followed Lord Suo into the palace from the west gate gate of the palace with us guarding. I think this slave was in a hurry to get there, and forgot how he got in.

"Let's fight the dog and look at the master, this groom is from the house of Lord Suo, and this Lord Suo is a big celebrity in front of the current Long Live Lord, we can't afford to offend us. According to the humble opinion, you don't want to be like this dog slave in general, simply ask the brothers to open the palace gate on the west side, and let this dog slave out of the palace. ”

After listening to the persuasion of one of his brothers, the general manager who was in charge of guarding the noon gate immediately nodded his head and beckoned the two brothers standing on the left and right to open the west door behind our leaning back.

At noon, the doorkeeper waved his hand after glancing at the groom who was stunned in front of the carriage, and said angrily: "You slave, if you had reported your name in the morning and said that your lord was the head of the imperial guard, I would have let you out a long time ago, so why talk so much to you." Okay, your recklessness, I won't bother with you, the side door has been opened, you hurry up and drive your carriage out of the palace. ”

Seeing that at noon, the doorknob had ordered someone to open the west door, and asked him to leave the palace from this door, and made a posture that could not be ignored, so that he had to make a choice at this time.

Just as the groom was about to spur his horse and turn the head of the car to drive towards the open west door under the noon gate in front of him, he heard a "stab" sound from behind him, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted from the inside, and then a familiar voice was heard: "The noon gatekeeper, why are you making things difficult for the people in my house?"

Just now, the noon doorknob, who was still commanding in front of the groom, saw the person who opened the curtain of the carriage leaning out half of his body, wearing a ruby hat, wearing an official uniform embroidered with a unicorn pattern on the chest, and stepping on official boots, with a burly figure, compared with the "first warrior of the Qing Dynasty" old and strong, it was only slightly inferior.

Since Suo Etu often enters and exits the palace through the west gate under the noon gate, he naturally recognizes his face at noon gate. If he doesn't even recognize the face of the minister of the DPRK and China, then he may be considered a noon doorman in vain.

The noon doorkeeper who was frightened was like earth, but he still beat his spirits, first bowed to Suo Etu, who was standing in front of the carriage door, bowed his head, and said without humility or arrogance: "Master Suo, auspicious." I don't know that Lord Suo is in this carriage, just now, what I said is a little heavier, but it is not malicious, and I also ask Lord Suo Haihan.

"Your horseman, if he hadn't been stopped by anyone, he would probably have broken through to the noon gate. According to the palace etiquette system and the laws of the Qing Dynasty, this noon gate is a place where only the Lord of Long Live can enter and exit today, even if Lord Suo, you are the chief of the internal guards in front of the Lord of Long Life, and you dare not put this precedent in your humble position, this is going to lose your head. It is the duty of the humble duty to stop the groom in the Lord's Mansion, and please ask Lord Suo to be aware of it. ”

As soon as the general words of the noon doorkeeper fell, Suo Etu, who was standing in front of the curtain of the carriage door, immediately took his left hand from his back to him, and stretched out a golden token in his left hand, and said without anger: "Noon gatekeeper, you should take a look at what I am holding in my hand, and am I qualified to go out of the palace from the noon gate that you are guarding?"

After listening to Suo's question, the noon doorknob standing on the ground on the front side of the car immediately raised his head and took a look. Because he saw that Suo Etu was holding a royal gold medal in his left hand, seeing this gold medal was like meeting the emperor, he was naturally able to go out of the palace through the noon gate.

"Humble noon gate chief Nurcha, knock to see His Majesty the Emperor, long live!" After being stunned twice, the chief Nurcha of the noon gate quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and sang the promise.

Hearing that his top boss was kneeling on the ground and singing "Long live", there were as many as two or three hundred guards guarding the noon gate on his left and right sides, all of whom knelt on the ground in unison, shouting in unison, "Long live, long live!"

At this point, the three of them drove out of the palace through the noon gate in a dramatic manner. When they walked to a place about two miles outside the palace, Wang Kai and the young Kangxi, who were stuffy in the carriage, proposed together that they should change the clothes on their bodies with Suo Etu, and change them into robes and coats worn by ordinary people, and let him return to Suotu alone, and the three of them would have a fun time on this lively street.

Suo Etu considered Kangxi's personal safety, and at first he strongly opposed it. However, when Kangxi moved out and said that with Wang Kai, a person with strong martial arts, by his side, there should be no problems. In addition, Wang Kai and Kangxi both breathed out of one nostril and couldn't listen to Suo Etu's dissuasion at all, and in desperation, Suo Etu had no choice but to listen to the idea of the two of them.

After changing into his robe and coat, Soetu sent the groom away. Among the three of them, Kangxi was wearing a golden robe and horse coat, Suo Etu was wearing a blue robe and horse coat, and Wang Kai was wearing a white robe and horse coat.

Since these three robes and horse coats were taken out of the palace, they were all fabrics of high-quality silk, and the workmanship was also fine, all of them were hand-sewn with gold needles and gold threads, and when they were worn on the three of them, they were naturally like the children of the Eight Banners.

After walking not far, the three of them saw a teahouse named Fuming on the street, and from time to time bursts of applause and cheers came from the teahouse. When they walked in, they found that there was a young woman playing the pipa in the teahouse, and the teahouse was full of guests who came to listen to the music. Suddenly, Kangxi and Wang Kai, who were standing outside the door of the teahouse, were very curious, and after glancing at each other, the two of them couldn't help but walk in.

Suo Etu, who has long been accustomed to listening to the pipa, is naturally not interested in this, and when he wanted to step forward to stop Kangxi and Wang Kai, he was pushed away by Wang Kai, and he had to follow him together.

The hall of the teahouse was full of people, and the three of them had to find an empty table in the corner and sit down.

After ordering a pot of tea and a few snacks, and the three of them had just drunk a cup of tea to quench their thirst, somehow, their eyes were dark and they fainted.

I don't know how long it took, Wang Kai was the first to wake up in the daze, he opened his eyes slightly, but saw that he was blindfolded, and his mouth was stuffed into a ball of linen, which he couldn't see or speak, and suddenly, it made him a little impatient.

However, after less than a moment, Wang Kai heard a person who was only five or six steps in front of him and said with a sigh: "Alas, I have been waiting for Wang Kai in this teahouse for more than two years, and I originally thought that he would be able to come out of the palace as soon as possible to connect with you and me." I never thought that this would be two years. Well, now that he comes out, you and I will be able to give the helmsman an errand. ”

As soon as this person's voice fell, another person took over the conversation and said: "Who said it wasn't, big brother, I think that two years ago, this Wang Kai brother had to enter the palace to avenge the blood stains of his dead father and our old hall master, and vowed to slaughter that emperor Lao'er."

"These two years have passed in a blink of an eye, but he came to connect with you and me quietly, and brought two other people and young people, I don't know what kind of famous hall master our young hall master is doing? The emperor Lao'er, who sent Ao Bai to wipe out the seventy-two members of the old hall master's family, was killed by the only surviving young hall master of the Wang family. Later, big brother, you have to interrogate the young hall master properly. ”
