Chapter 025 a sword straight through the eighteen doors, the western Chu ceremony Tai’an City
The central axis of the three halls of the second hall Zhonghe Hall, enthroned the crown prince awarded the imperial edict, the emperor needs to go to this hall with dragon robe and gun crown, and then to the front of the hall to ascend to the throne. Today’s Son of Heaven looked at the Empress Zhao Zhi not far away from his side, and smiled softly at him, all in a word. Originally, the empress and the son of the same name, in the ritual is not, but the emperor is still not valued son of the emperor, and the woman in charge of the harem will be like a guest, as a confidant, and privately swore that he will ascend to the throne of the emperor, will set up her son as the crown prince, Zhao Zhi favor the youngest son of Zhao Zhuan, the emperor is even contrary to the establishment of a full-fledged eldest, not the establishment of the youngest of the ancestral training, can be seen in the heart of the son of the emperor who is known as the wise and mighty, the empress Zhao Zhi how the weight is. The emperor was not afraid to violate the ancestral custom of establishing a first wife rather than a younger one. Such a choice, the officials of the Qing current is unprecedented no one questioned, it is clear that the Zhao family’s control of the river and mountain, reached an unprecedentedly strong point. Several births of the emperor’s son adult mother also face as usual, do not dare to show the slightest difference in emotion. Six princes in addition to the youngest of the six princes Zhao Chun is only twelve years old, can stay in the capital until and crown, the remaining four no hope of the throne of the Prince of the Prince, today sealed the King, three days later will be out of the city on the vassal, on the vassal, before, must resign with the new Prince, kowtow three times, line so big ceremony, to show the Prince of the revered.
Wu Ying Hall waiting for the six princes of the dynasty will not show signs of division into two groups, the eldest son of the fourth prince and the sixth prince gathered on one side, Zhao Wu is about to be sealed Liao Wang, and awarded the Zhenbei General, in the princes to be in sole possession of the military power. Second Prince Zhao Wen Feng Tang Wang, his mother is the Jiangnan origin of the Shufei Nie Yuanzhen, not that powerful family women, in the harem abide by the etiquette, and the world, is extremely rigorous and gentle temperament, Prince Zhao Wen is also quite gentle and thrifty, the rhetoric is gorgeous, known as the pen and inkstone has the spirit of the wrist in the God, often with the green words of the Prime Minister Zhao Danping phase talk about Tao, not to live up to one of the “Wen” word. The word “Wen”. Zhao Xiong, the third son of Zhao Xiong Han Wang, will soon be vassal in the border of Jizhou, De Fei Peng Yuanqing, one of the Northern Prince Group of the Liaodong Peng family of women, Zhao Xiong is also the son of the most not let the royal family to worry about one of the rumors have been many times for the emperor Zhao Kai. Fifth son Zhao Hong, Feng Yue Wang, his mother is not among the concubines, only a Jieyu, Xue Chyuan, family history is mediocre.
Among the royal concubines, Yan Dongwu is always being held by Zhao Zhuan, the fourth prince, whose hands are as cold as frost, and whose beautiful face is a bit constrained, while Zhao Zhuan, who has a gentle smile, has sweaty palms, which is a perfect complement to each other. While chatting with his elder brother, Zhao Wu, he kept smiling at her. I do not know why, the first time to the capital to marry into the royal family, for marrying a fourth prince who is not favored by the world, she lived a peaceful life, husband and wife’s days like glue, but when she realized that everything is not as straightforward as she imagined, Yan Dongwu, but more and more like walking on thin ice, especially when half a year ago, a sort of palace to save the relatives, to see the father of that no matter how to hold down can not cover up the excitement of the vicissitudes of the face, and watched! Dad cried tears of joy, and he did not say anything, Yan Dong Wu began to realize that all the dynamics of the wild horse, back to the palace after she became more and more silent, discreet, every time she and her husband went to greet the Empress “in-laws”, are like a battle without seeing smoke, which makes Yan Dong Wu is very confused and bewildered, the only thing that does not want to be the Prince Consort of the half-minute! The joy of stealing, fell in the court recognized as invincible queen Zhao Zhi eyes, heart more and more pleased, only Zhao Zhi since this appreciation will not say to the daughter-in-law to listen to.
Zhao Zhi came to the two sons in front, respectively, Zhao Wu Zhao Zhanzhuan brothers two collars and cuffs, meticulously, the eldest son Zhao Wu grinning, will soon be announced to the world in the capacity of the crown prince Zhao Zhanzhuan is still that cynical rogue temperament, holding the mother’s hand rubbed a little bit on his face, look at the teenage sixth prince felt that the fourth emperor brother than he is even more childish, crooked mouth giggle. Zhao Zhi drew back his hand and tapped Zhao Zhuan on the forehead, feinting angrily that he was a grown man and still had no shame. Zhao Wu put his arm around his brother’s shoulder and said, “Even if you’re older, you’re still the mother’s son.”
Zhao Zhuan said softly, “Mother, should I let my elder brother leave the capital later?”
Zhao Zhi glared angrily, “Bastard words!”
The strangely thick-skinned Zhao Zhuan was undaunted, spitting out his tongue and rubbing the teenager Zhao Chun’s hair, “It’s a good thing I have Little Chun’er staying in the capital to play with me.”
The teenage prince tugged on Zhao Zhuan’s sleeve and said with an expectant face, “Fourth brother, fourth brother, when are you going to give me that Ever Victorious General?”
Yan Dongwu twisted the Fourth Prince, who had sworn and lied to her that he wouldn’t fight crickets anymore, and smiled softly at Zhao Chun, “Little Chun, I’ll give them all to you later. If your fourth brother dares to hide one, you’ll tell on me.”
The young prince squeezed out a sunny, bad smile at his bitter-looking fourth brother, then pretended to bend down and make a big bow toward the Crown Princess of Qin, “Pure son thanks sister-in-law for her great kindness.”
Zhao Zhi’s eyebrows were flooded with smiles.
For some reason, His Majesty the Emperor had already put on his yellow dragon robe and came to their side, seeing this warm and cozy scene where everyone’s heart and mind were in harmony, he was also full of relief, facing Yan Dongwu, he looked at Yan Dongwu in a dignified manner without losing the kindness of his elders, “Dongwu, from now on, how to control Zhuan’er is how to control him, if he dares to give you a look, I will back you up and clean him up for you! Seal son is just a lazy bastard who knocked a stick and took a step, but there is one thing that is good about Seal son, along with me as a father, I may let my daughter-in-law suffer, but I will never let my daughter-in-law be aggravated.”
Yan Dong Wu was about to respectfully thank him for his kindness, but was pulled by Zhao Zhi’s arms, “They are all family members, just be polite in front of outsiders.”
Zhao Zhuan said, “Father and Mother, it’s not easy for me to find a good daughter-in-law who can speak up for me, so don’t teach me to be bad! When the time comes, see if I don’t go to you every day to talk about it!”
Zhao family’s Son of Heaven smiled without saying anything, Empress Zhao Zhi raised her hand in a gesture to hit, “Don’t be cheap.”
The eldest prince Zhao Wu gloated, “Fourth brother, you’re really miserable, I won’t have the chance to drink with you in the future, you find sixth brother.”
Sixth Prince Zhao Chun panicked and waved his hands, “Don’t don’t don’t, I get drunk when I smell alcohol.”
The emperor smiled brightly and looked around, then said to all the royal sons in a deep voice: “This time, you are all assigned as kings, so that you can divide your towns and support the royal family, and when he comes out of the capital to take over the throne on the day of his departure, you are not allowed to slack off a bit!”
With the exception of Zhao Zhuan, all of the royal sons bowed meticulously to receive the order.
The two imperial consorts and a jieyu almost at the same time all look to the crown prince, so many years in the palace to whom all peaceful, even to them a few are also respectful, even their side of the heart of the palace maid are quite close to the heart, originally who thought that it is a heart of no ambition intends to die in the feudal land of the flamboyant celebrities, they do not look at the same time, the fourth prince Zhao zhuan eyes clear look to, gently nodded the chin, still not half a bit of ambition, but the fourth prince Zhao zhuan, the eyes clear look, and gently nodded the chin, the fourth prince Zhao zhuan. There was still no hint of the fickleness that comes with ambition. This made some of the three harem ladies, who still refused to give in, feel a bit helpless. On such hate not up to the opponent, really can not be resentful and angry at their own son is not good.
Today’s court, probably since the nearly two decades of martial arts, the emperor of Liyang grace special gift those temple cabinet university scholar and on the pillar state civil officials can be overstepped, a few years on top of the four towns and four conquests of the knighthood of the great generals of mai were able to wear a sword to the court, military generals of Gu Jiantang is to wear that seldom show the South China sword, Chen Zhi Bao is particularly colorful, holding a rod of plum wine. Xu Fengnian, the son of Beiliang, as usual, has the simple Beiliang sword hanging on his waist. Only today is different from previous days, civil and military officials are not allowed to rush into the hall, need to wait until the emperor and the empress and the emperor’s son have boarded the hall, before they can enter. Nearly a thousand people will be in the hall outside the gate within the white jade square patiently waiting, unlike the newly appointed king’s son, there are three days to stay in the city of Tai’an, the five clan kings in the court after the meeting will be immediately out of the capital to rush to the feudal land.
If the Emperor of Liyang was perched on the dragon chair at this time, a glance at the group of heroes and heroines would indeed give him a sense of grandeur that all the heroes and heroines of the world had been brought into my family’s urn.
Jiaodong King Zhao Suo moved a dozen steps to Xu Fenian’s side, and together they looked towards the south city gate, and then south to the outer city, nearly eighteen miles, with a total of eighteen lofty gates erected.
Zhao Suo didn’t seem to be talking to anyone, but only seemed to be lamenting alone, “A flash of thirty years, the young people who drank and talked dirty together back then have all gotten old.”
Xu Fenian calmly said, “Xu Snap said that he has always felt guilty about you, Uncle Zhao.”
Zhao Suo laughed sparingly, “Guilt for what, it’s just owing a few drinks, when you all have families, and in a few years, when the old men have closed their eyes, there’ll be plenty of chances to drink together down the road.”
Xu Fengnian nodded.
Zhao Suo turned his head and said, “When you have the chance to visit Liangliao in the future, remember to look for Zhao Yi, this kid doesn’t look up to those flying jianghu masters anymore in these two years, he only looks up to you. He has two words for you, convinced.”
Xu Fengnian was confused.
Zhao Suo smiled and said, “It’s honest words, not lip service. Some years ago, after hearing your words about the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master’s Office on Da Xue Ping, this kid said fart in front of me, his father, every day, and now it has become a mantra. As long as anyone mentions paying back the money to him, he says so, pay back a fart!”
Xu Fengyen looked embarrassed.
Not far away, Jiaodong King’s son Zhao Yi also roughly guessed the content of the conversation, and smiled imploringly at Xu Fengyen who cast a glance at him.
Jiaodong King Zhao Suo looked to the south, “This time, when the Crown Prince is enthroned and divided into princes, we definitely need to prevent Western Chu Cao Changqing from coming to the capital to start a provocation, it’s just that I don’t know if that Second in the World from Wudi City will sit at one of the eighteen city gates.”
Knowing that the old swordsman surnamed Sui, who had a penchant for eating swords, traveled to East China Sea’s Wudi City, Xu Fengyen shook his head and said, “I don’t think so.”
Zhao Sui did not ask for reasons and was convinced. He just laughed softly, “But I heard that the old ancestor of the Wu family, the ‘King of Sui’ will bring eight hundred swords to guard one of the gates, and the rest of the gates of the city are also guarded by many experts, so I don’t know if I can stop a Confucian Sage, Cao Guanzi.”
A clamor boomed out.
Xu Fengnian looked up following the sound.
He bit his lip, seeping out an imperceptible smear of blood.
At a certain city gate on the Central Axis Royal Road, nearly a thousand flying swords rose up from the ground.
A green coat with wrapped sleeves broke the sword formation, dashingly leaping forward through the gate, ignoring the flying swords chasing after him.
Tai’an City, the city is full of sensation.
Cao Changqing came from the city gates with the momentum of a bamboo streak, long swept.
There was even a young woman with unparalleled elegance who rode her sword straight through the eighteen gates.
A sword hovered above the crowd.
Standing on top of the famous sword that had also entered the palace city about twenty-three years ago.
Da Liang Dragon Sparrow.
Princess Sui Zhu, who was boredly jumping on the steps of Wuying Hall in the side hall of Zhonghe Hall, stared at her with wide eyes and almost dropped her jaw in shock.
That stunningly beautiful woman, is not that on Wudang Mountain, that shabby maid who treats a piece of broken vegetable garden as a treasure?
She?
Will that sword immortal’s divine power of 30,000 miles of sword control?
Cao Changqing swept to the city gates, leapt up to the city tower, stood beside the sword-wielding woman, and said aloud, “Cao Changqing of the Western Chu, accompanying Princess Jiang Si to observe the ceremony at Tai’an City!”
