In the distance, the cavalry of the Royal Guards can be vaguely seen, and the holy cavalry is close at hand.
Li Jinglong glanced majestically at the people in front of Zhuangzi's door, "The holy driver will be here soon, cheer up." As he said that, he quickly walked to the front of the line with his son Li Qi and stood with his hands down.
At this moment, Li Laowai, the leader of Li Jinglong's personal guard, strode over in panic from the side thorn.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Li Jinglong was suddenly displeased and scolded in a low voice, "What are you doing? How can you be so flustered?" As he spoke, he suddenly saw a bloody mark on Mr. Li's crooked face that seemed to have been scratched by a woman, and said angrily,
"Lao Wai, have you had enough of staying at my house? Or are you tired of living?"
Li Laowai turned pale and trotted to Li Jinglong's side, "Master, something's wrong!"
The arrival of the emperor is such a big event, especially on this special day. Li Jinglong had already ordered people to clear the area within a radius of five miles, and there was no need for stray people to get close. Moreover, all the soldiers of his Li family were cruising along the way in casual clothes.
"What's the matter?" Li Jinglong asked hurriedly, "Speak quickly!"
"When I was patrolling the back mountain just now, I found a girl hiding in the grass!" Li Laowai was covered in sweat and his voice was trembling. "She has a strange face. I found her out.
That bitch took out an awl and stabbed her."
As he spoke, he pointed down his sleeve, "Look, if the villain hadn't been able to hide quickly, there would have been a blood hole on his arm..."
"You motherfucker said the key thing!" Li Jinglong cursed as the Royal Forest Army's cavalry got closer and closer.
Li Lao Wai wiped the sweat off his head and said, "The little one caught that bitch. She went crazy. I have never seen anything like this when I followed the family master all these years. The Tatars had several heads chopped off, but this bitch
The little one almost couldn't hold it..."
Li Jinglong's face trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you going to lie again?"
"That woman is in her mid-thirties, and she is quite pretty. She doesn't look like a farm girl..." Li Laowai finally came to the key point, and whispered, "Sir, that woman is hiding..."
In the grassland, I was preparing for the arrival of the two emperors, who suddenly rushed out to complain."
"Ah?" Li Jinglong was suddenly startled, "Are you fucking suing again?" As he spoke, his mind was running rapidly, "Have you asked clearly?"
"The villain found a warrant from her. This woman came from Jurong County and sued the young master of the Li family in Jurong, saying that he raped her own sister. She complained to the local county government, but was sentenced.
It's adultery..."
The sound of horse hoofbeats was so close in his ears that Li Jinglong's heart was beating fast and he waved his hands repeatedly, "Hurry up, keep an eye on the people first. Don't jump out at this juncture. You can bring people to search for me and arrest all strangers."
stand up."
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth and cursed, "Choose this time to file a complaint against these unruly people!"
At this moment, the imperial chariots of the two emperors had arrived at the gate of Zhuangzi.
Li Jinglong hurriedly led people to trot over, leaned down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Li Jinglong kowtows to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Long Live Long Live My Emperor!"
Afterwards, everyone who greeted Zhuangzi outside knelt down and shouted long live.
Zhu Yunxi came out of the chariot first, then turned around and took the old man's arm to help him out.
"Get flat!"
After the words fell, Li Jinglong moved quickly, grabbed the wooden ladder from Deng Ping's hand and placed it under the imperial chariot. He stood aside with open hands and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, please slow down and be careful of the steps."
The old man stepped on the steps, looked into the village, and said with a smile, "It's a good day today, it's a good day to make a sickle!"
"It rained yesterday, and it was still cloudy and foggy in the early hours of this morning!" Li Jinglong also stepped forward to support the old man's other side and laughed, "At that time, I was worried that it would rain on such a grand day.
Son, it’s somewhat unattractive.”
"But it's strange. As soon as I heard that the two emperors were leaving the palace, the dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed, and the sun shone brightly." Li Jinglong continued to laugh, "I am stupid, and I have to think about it over and over again."
Understand why!”
"Ha!" the old man laughed, "What's the reason why a cloudy day turns to a sunny day?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, has benevolent policies and benevolence, and has blessed hundreds of millions of people with blessings. It is God who has done such a beautiful thing." Li Jinglong held the other arm of the old man and said with a low eyebrow, "The ancients said that when the Lord Yun Sheng appears, the sky is auspicious. I am the Ming Dynasty.
With two generations of saintly kings participating in the Autumn Harvest Ceremony at the same time, God will naturally bring auspiciousness..."
"What does it have to do with God?" The old man curled his lips, "If he doesn't do anything good, we still have to harvest crops." He said, giving Li Jinglong a sideways look, "You kid blames God for everything, how can you see God?"
Zhu Yunxi snickered on the sidelines, Li Jinglong was already very good at flattery, but with the old man, he would be frustrated eight times out of ten, because although the old man was willing to listen, he didn't believe it at all.
"Are you all ready?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"Let me tell you, Your Majesty, everything is ready!" Li Jinglong said hurriedly, "Since I heard that the two emperors were coming together to harvest the autumn harvest, I moved from my home to Zhuangzi." After saying that, he chuckled again, "
Knowing that the old emperor values Hongshu, I have my shack next to the Hongshu field and keep an eye on it myself."
"Well, your ancestors were also farmers. It's rare that you don't forget your roots!" As he said this, the old man glanced at the civil and military officials who were following behind him, frowned and said, "They are tormenting them. Let us go over and take a look and pass on the order.
, let Feng Sheng and the others come with us."
"yes!"
When the emperor participated in the autumn harvest, etiquette was more important than practicality. There were various complicated etiquette steps before harvesting. Today's autumn harvest, Zhu Yunxi deliberately reduced unnecessary red tape. Otherwise, he would clear the soup many days in advance.
Before bathing, fasting and worshiping heaven, you should first go to the Temple of Heaven to worship Shennong, etc.
After the old man's oral instructions were passed down, the old nobles among the military officials dismounted one after another and followed them into Zhuangzi.
These people, headed by Duke Feng Sheng of the Song Dynasty, all had sullen expressions on their faces, not the casual smiles they showed every day. Instead, they all had solemn faces. For those who didn't know, they thought they were going to fight.
Zhuangzi's middle gate is wide open, and the guards are leading the way. The emperor is in the middle.
Among the people kneeling to greet him, the old man personally named Zhang Baotian and took his son with him, and the group walked toward the slope fields where sweet potatoes were planted.
At this time, Li Jinglong looked back and saw Li Laowai standing outside the crowd, nodding to him and indicating to patrol the area again, and he was slightly relieved.
"Wait, that's not right!"
Li Jinglong was suddenly startled again, "Why did the imperial complaint come here? Is there such a huge grievance that you can go to the palace? Besides, how did she, a private woman, know that the two emperors were coming to Zhuangzi today to punish her?
"
"She is a woman, but she also knows how to avoid the patrolling and interrogating soldiers along the way, and hides in the grassland in the back mountain. This is obviously someone who has given instructions in advance."
Li Jinglong suddenly felt horrified when he thought of this.
"Don't let anything else be involved behind this matter?" With this in mind, he looked at the door of Zhuangzi and the civil servants following the emperor, his mind running rapidly.
"We can't hide this. If I hide this, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble in the future!" I thought, and followed quickly.
