Chapter 20 Spring Dawn of the Emperor Garden, the Smoke of Wild Water lingers

The heavy snowfall in the late spring of the capital in mid-April has decorated the rich towers in the inner courtyard of the palace into a world of ice and snow.

When people opened the frozen palace gate and entered the inner garden of the palace, they were surprised to find that they had seen many living things in such ice and snow! For these soldiers who witnessed the strange wind and snow just now, although the flying snow was the only one they saw in their life and did not know what power it was, from the amazing intuition they had developed through the killing formation, the traitors in the palace might have been wiped out. Therefore, when they really attacked the palace, they were very surprised to see so many survivors who were still active.

Only Xingyan knows the reason inside. The heavy snow he fell just now was actually just an external star, and it was still Taoist spells. The lethality of the ice and snow falling all over the sky was only related to the perseverance of the subject. The person who covered the snow, no matter how high his magic power was, the more fierce and cunning he was, the greater the damage he suffered.

Therefore, under such a spell casting, according to later investigation, Chang Yihou and his confidants were frozen to pieces, and there were many "experts" who were full of fire in the Five Elements, and they also died on the roadside without exception. Among all the rebellions that were frozen to death by heavy snow, there was an old friend who woke up from the air!

When the major matter was settled, Xingyan and Ju Ying hurried to the Taiji Hall of the main palace of the palace with elite soldiers. Just as they were about to rush into the hall, Xingyan saw a Taoist with one-armed sword holding a sword leaning over on the stone beast on the left side of the hall outside the hall. Originally, there were also many Taoist scum among the help of the tiger, but Xingyan could clearly see clearly that the Taoist priest who fell dead on the stone robe at the left of the hall gate was actually wearing the unique white-ground and green-edged Taoist robe!

"Who will it be?!"

Xingyan was naturally surprised when he saw his fellow disciples here. He knew very well that whether he was the former leader Lingxu Zhenren or the current leader Qinghe Taoist, they were all masters with softness on the outside and hardness on the inside. Compared with the so-called "expert masters" in the world, even the disciples with the lowest Taoist laws in the Shangqing Sect, after some education, they were all moral and wise people who went out. Therefore, this time, Changyi Hou was so rebellious, how could the disciples of Shangqing be obsessed with help?

As he was asked in his heart, Xingyan went over and opened the Taoist body, curiously trying to see who it was. When he saw it, he found that the Taoist with one-armed bun was his acquaintance, Zhao Wuchen! Although his face was ashen and had many purple spots now, Xingyan could see at a glance that this was the despicable fellow disciple who had been teasing and threatening Xueyi while he was not at Qiandian Cliff!

"well!"

At this time, he tried with his finger in front of his nose. Zhao Wuchen was already angry. Seeing Zhao Wuchen's embarrassing death like this, Xingyan felt a little moved. If a disciple of a famous and upright sect acted correctly, why would he have the ending today? There is a saying that "every affection is evil, and all causes will be the result." He didn't know whether the first half of the sentence was right or wrong, but this "every cause will be the result" really makes sense. People also said that "retribution is unhappy". They originally thought that Zhao Wuchen had no news and fled far away and would never be able to deal with him again in the future. Who knew that he would die in his own hands in the end!

After a few words of emotion, Xingyan looked at Zhao Wuchen a few more times. Seeing his current embarrassment, he remembered his free and easy style when he first met him, and suddenly felt a little sad. So he stopped looking at him, and waved his hand and asked the soldiers who were carrying the wounded to come and carry him out and bury him first.

When Xingyan arranged Zhao Wuchen's body and arrived at the Taiji Hall, he saw the situation in the hall, which was a bit beyond his expectations. Under the light of the white snow on the ground, Xingyan could see clearly that Chang Yihou, who was said to have always claimed to be a martial arts master, was wearing literary clothes at such a critical moment. At this moment, he was slumped on the tall jade dragon chaise, wearing a gorgeous crown. The crown on his head was hung with nine colorful tassels, and the tassels were decorated with jade, and the moon was bright under the reflection of the snow light in the hall.

"snort!"

Seeing such a life-and-death enemy, even a girl like Juying couldn't help but snort and scolded her in a sweet voice:

"What a traitor! He's about to die, but he still wants to live the emperor's addiction!"

It turns out that although others are ignorant, Ju Ying, who is familiar with the royal rituals, can see that the crown garment he was wearing at this time was the clothes for the emperor to ascend the throne. The top of the crown was painted with five-chapter patterns of fire, mountain, dragon, Zongyi, and Huachuang, and four-color patterns of algae, pink rice, matte, and tiny. It was the dress used by the emperor to ascend the throne; and the nine-chapter crown was painted with red green algae patterns, and nine-chapters were stringed with colorful ropes, and each tar was decorated with nine jade ears, which was also the crown used by the emperor to ascend the throne.

Ju Ying's guess was quickly verified. When Xingyan and others attacked the Tai Chi Hall, there were several undead ministers in the hall, one of the Tai Shi Ling, named Chang Xin, who was busy accusing him of the Chang Yi Ni Marquis. When he heard the incident outside the city and the reaction was loud, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Although the wisdom and courage of Chang Yi Marquis who had been proud of for several months had been wiped out, his outstanding and amazing judgment did not decrease at all. When he heard the horse outside the city tell him all the details, Chang Tai Shi saw that Chang Yi Marquis, who had always won the victory, had a certain premonition. When all kinds of dying resistance orders were issued, the Marquis, who had been in the "Emperor's Dream" for half his life, held the ascension ceremony in the Tai Chi Hall.

This dream-desired throne ceremony was so simple and hastily that the shouts of killing from outside the palace were getting closer and closer to cover up the striking fireworks in front of the hall; although the heavy snow had not yet arrived, the sings of the Dali Temple minister who was temporarily appointed by Changyihou was trembling and the voice became smaller and smaller.

Of course, for Chang Yihou, none of this is important. What is important to him is that as long as the subordinates in the palace fight to the death for a while, they will wait for a while, and let him complete the ceremony, and then the Grand Historian will record the process of the ascension ceremony in a complete way, he will achieve his great achievements and achieve his long-cherished wish, and will remain famous in history and become the emperor.

However, unfortunately, although Chang Yihou had many wishes in the past, this time the biggest wish was not fulfilled.

When the shabby ceremony was just halfway through, the sky above the rows of palaces changed suddenly, as if the ice and snow gods were coming. Suddenly, thousands of cold snow fell and buryed the creatures in the palace. So, before the Chang Taishi's knuckles were frozen, Chang Yihou on the emperor's throne breathed and solidified...

The Great Rebellion was eliminated, and everyone was joking. In the days that followed, Ju Ying suddenly became very busy as the only orthodox royal bloodline that remained in the capital now.

When the remains of the war in the palace were slightly cleared, the emperor's daughter, Princess Yongchang, assisted by a group of loyal ministers, issued orders in the imperial palace of the emperor's Mingtang in the imperial city to clarify the government's affairs and correct the source. Of course, as the greatest hero in the suppression of this rebellion and the close friend of His Highness the Princess, Xingyan was accompanied throughout the political affairs. When necessary, he also used some small magic to shock his good friends to intimidate the rebellious important officials in the court, so that they did not dare to have any distracting intentions towards this weak princess.

After a few days of companionship and seeing many royal affairs, Xingyan, a noble man who was admired by others, felt that it was really eye-opening in his heart! After entering the imperial palace for the first time, the Zhongsan doctor who was born in the mountains and fields, the master of the Sihai Hall discovered that the magnificent and magnificent style of the royal family was ten times more complicated than he had imagined!

For example, the Emperor Mingtang, which he often stayed in the past few days, was the Hillhouse Building. It was surrounded by water, with eight windows, four towers, nine rooms, twelve rooms, thirty-six households, and seventy-two walls. Only after asking the officials of the Ministry of Rites did they know that these shapes and numbers were all particular. They surrounded by water on all sides, meaning that the emperor was rich in all seas; the upper was round and the lower was similar to the earth, and the eight windows were opposite to the eight winds, four towers were opposite to the four seasons, nine rooms showed nine provinces, twelve towers were opposite to the December month, thirty-six households were opposite to the thirty-six rain, and seventy-two walls were opposite to the seventy-two winds. After all the various such corresponding mountains and rivers were naturally particular, this Mingtang had another nickname, called "Wanxiang Temple"!

In addition to Mingtang, there is also Taimiao. After the government was cleared, Ju Ying led all the ministers to the Taimiao to worship the father and brothers who died unfortunately. Because the east of the five directions was the supreme direction, the ancestral temple of the Emperor of Luoyang was set up near the Canglongque Gate of the Imperial Palace. During the sacrifice, the former emperor used the eighteen Tailao and the five princes used the twelve Tailao; each Tailao contained a pig, a cow, and a sheep. After all, it took 234 livestock in total. So many sacrifices, the Imperial Guards were dispatched to slaughter the sacrifices within half an hour.

After the government and sacrifices were completed, as a symbol of reform and reform, the court had to arrange a banquet in the Deyang Hall, which faced west and east in the southwest of the Taiji Hall of the Imperial Palace.

Unlike ordinary people's imagination, such a royal banquet is a grand event in the country. The show is extremely luxurious and luxurious, and its complexity is even greater than the grand Taimiao sacrifice. The banquet in the Deyang Hall was prepared by Shangbaosi, guarded by Jinwu camp, set up music, dance teams, prepared wine in Guanglu Temple, and set up meals in the Imperial Kitchen Department. After this arrangement, there were imperial thrones, Huang Hui, twenty-four Jinwu Guards, music pools, wine pavilions, dining pavilions, delicious pavilions, and there were dance floors and large music pools in the Deyang Hall.

After the banquet began, the princess sat cross-legged on the imperial throne of Huangwei, and the court held a seat in the fourth and above halls of the fourth and fifth ranks, and was entertained outside the hall. In this procedure, Ju Ying, a central doctor between the fourth and fifth ranks, issued a special order by the Dali Temple after approval according to the rules, and issued a chief token, so that the seats could be set up next to the princess. After the banquet was reached, there were three lottery female palace servants behind each official attending the banquet, and their duties were "Sihu", "Shangjiu" and "Shangjiu", responsible for serving wine and food to these officials in the court.

Such a complex banquet ceremony naturally cannot be described. Perhaps, just by watching the roulette of music during the table, you can see the general clues.

For example, when Princess Yingju raised her glass for the first time, everyone except Xingyan knelt down; at this time, the Jiaofangsi knelt down and played the "Yan Jing Song" to respect her. When the second round of toasting, the "Imperial Wind Song" was played; at the same time, when Ju Ying signaled the ministers to drink the wine in the glass, the dance team outside the hall danced. This round consisted of dozens of heroic spirits wearing their upper body naked, holding black lacquered wooden knife, and shouting and jumping "Dance to calm the world". After that, the third round was generally similar, and the third round was "Sainting the Emperor Ming"

The song of the song, dance the "Dance of the Four Barbarians of Fu'an", the fourth round plays the "The Song of the Heavenly Dao", the "Dance of the Car and Book of the Combination", the fifth round plays the "The Song of the Emperor's Ordinance", the "Dance of the Hundred Plays of the Responsibility", the sixth round plays the "The Song of the Jinling", the "Dance of the Eight Barbarians' Offering Treasures", the seventh round plays the "The Song of Changyang", the "Dance of the Lotus Picking Team", the eighth round plays the "The Song of the Fragrant Liquor", the "Dance of the Fish Leaping in the Abyss", and the ninth round plays only the "The Song of the Six Dragons".

All of this was just toasting before the main meal, and it had been tossing for nine times. I was always eager to see it, but before the banquet began, the Sihai Lord, who lacked tempering, was exhausted and sweaty, and the stars in front of him were dancing. At the dazzled moment, he almost missed the gentle words that the princess secretly handed over during the toast. When she was sweating all over, Xingyan looked at Ju Ying next to her. But she saw that she was as if nothing had happened. Although she was wearing a seven-treasure Biyao crown and a nine-light Danxia Phoenix robe, her pretty face was still cool and sweatless. She was in the face of the sing and dancing outside the hall, and she was still elegant and elegant. She stood up to raise the wine meticulously according to Yicheng, and she could still take time to whisper to Xingyan from time to time.

"well……"

No matter how easy Ju Ying was, looking at the situation in front of her, Xingyan just lamented. While lamenting, she was a little confused:

"Is it really good to be an emperor? I don't know what the old thief Changyi thought..."

In this way, after going through so many hardships, after more than two hours, the Sihai Hall Master, who was already sweating, suddenly realized that he had a big appetite and didn't care about any etiquette for a while. When the good-selling official sang the ritual of "The banquet after the ceremony", he couldn't control himself. Seeing him so hungry, the kind-hearted and gentle princess pursed her lips and laughed, she specially issued a temporary imperial decree, saying that it was not early, and all the ministers must eat in half an hour. In an instant, when they heard the decree of His Royal Highness the princess, many giants who were already hungry and dizzy could not help but burst into tears, their eyes were filled with tears. While chewing, they yelled loudly, and shouted long live in their hearts, saying, "It's still the princess's wise."

Avoiding such trivialities, ten days passed without realizing it. On the tenth day, the only orthodox man in the royal family, the only orthodox man, came from the fief of Linhuai. After all, the country cannot be without a king for a day. Although the king of Langya did not know much about national affairs, after receiving his aunt's order, without saying a word, with the help of his close ministers, he ignored the help of his close ministers, wrapped in a cradle and hugged his nurse, and rushed to the capital day and night. Since then, the two-year-old little prince of Langya officially ascended the throne under the arrangement of his aunt Yingju, and continued the royal orthodox. At this time, the "Changyi Rebellion" that had suffered more than two months was officially over.

At this time, the big thing was over, Xingyan had to consider his stay or not.

Of course, the capital was not a place he stayed for a long time, so he must leave. On the Qianbird Cliff in Luofu Mountain 8,000 miles away, there was also the Ice and Snow Plum Spirit who was in love with him, who was in danger of life and death, and needed his own care. Although he was sure to leave, Xingyan was still hesitating that when he returned, what would he do about the girl who was in the imperial palace and imperial garden? After all, among the vast crowds of people in the capital, she was the only one who cares about him.

When talking about Ju Ying, through the days of being together these days, Xingyan suddenly realized that he might not have known everything about her before. In these days, as the imperial daughter, Ju Ying had already carried too much weight to "sweep the building to fall". Unlike his imagination, in front of such heavy responsibility, the cute and delicate girl who looked as weak as an orchid showed extraordinary patience and demeanor when facing things. In the court, he lived in court, was polite, advanced and retreated, decisive, and had a clear and wise mind. He was so complicated after the chaos, and after being disguised, all officials were able to get things done and everything was ordered!

Seeing Ju Ying's attitude when dealing with things, Xing Yan thought that even if he was a so-called "good man", he might not be able to handle it well for a while. Seeing this, thinking about Ju Ying's performance in front of him in the past, what he left for him was the image of a childhood sweetheart girl next door. Xing Yan felt that his illusion was quite ridiculous.

"hehe……"

Speaking of this morning, when I thought of these things again, I was a little confused and confused, I heard the familiar sound of the ringing bells in the distance, gradually getting closer and closer. In the warm morning breeze, I heard such a pure and spiritual voice. I smiled and suddenly became calculating in my heart...
