When Princess Baomeng led the welcoming convoy into the Qinghe Hunting Ground, Tang Xiaohao in the carriage saw through the gap in the window that there were royal armored guards wearing black armor kneeling on both sides, and these armored guards kneeling on one knee
The guards held tightly the banner symbolizing imperial power.
There is a golden dragon head printed on the big flag, and there is the word "Ji" above the dragon head. Only the Ji family in the entire Jiuyuan can draw the family's symbol and surname on the family flag at the same time. Other major families and local forces
Either you can only use patterns, or you can only write your last name.
The armored guards were originally the royal guards. The reason why the armored guards appeared here with flags at this time is for two reasons. Either the emperor came to Rouyuan Palace in person, or the Ji family wanted to demonstrate their imperial power.
Logically speaking, the wedding rules are a fusion of the rules of Huayuan and Rouyuan, but in fact they mainly follow the customs of Rouyuan. This is why Princess Baomeng is asked to lead a team to the Tang Mansion to welcome her.
Therefore, originally the flag flying here should be the iron horse flag of the Rouyuan Torsi tribe. However, Princess Baomeng was recognized by the emperor as the emperor's sister, so she should naturally be from the Ji family.
Ahead, Baomeng, who was riding a black horse, looked at the flags of the Ji family on both sides, and felt very unhappy. She knew that although she had no problem standing under the flag of the Ji family with her current status, the emperor was also using
This way reminded her that the Ji family is the master of the world, and from now on, her Baomeng will also be a member of the Ji family.
On the hundred-step staircase outside Rouyuan Palace, there stood a man in royal attire. Bao Meng could see at a glance that it was Prince Xi, because he had a beard. However, Bao Meng did not know that in recent times,
, the person who came to Rouyuan Palace to visit him from time to time was not Prince Xi Ji Hanguang, but the emperor Ji Chengying who pretended to be Prince Xi.
After Baomeng dismounted, she originally wanted to kneel down on one knee to salute, but when she realized her identity as the royal sister, she had to awkwardly think of saying "Blessings", but she was only halfway through saying "Blessings", so she gave up because she always believed that saying "Blessings" should not be said.
This is what a woman from Rouyuan can do, so I simply worship her.
The solemn worship is exclusively practiced by women and belongs to women's Yaba. That is to say, the knees are on the knees and the hands are on the ground without lowering the head.
Ji Chengying, pretending to be King Xi, walked down the steps: "Sister, please come in."
After saying that, Ji Chengying deliberately whispered: "I'm not the emperor, you don't need to kneel to me."
Bao Meng said: "Brother Hanguang is here on behalf of the emperor. Bao Meng still knows the proper etiquette."
Ji Chengying smiled and said: "No, no, get up."
Baomeng stood up, turned around and walked towards the carriage, stood outside the carriage and said: "Prince-in-law, please get out of the car."
Tang Xiaohao lifted the curtain and glanced at Baomeng outside.
Baomeng said again: "Consort, please get out of the car!"
Only then did Tang Xiaohao come out, and his posture was inelegant, as if he climbed out like a dog. This made Baomeng frown, and she felt even more disgusted with this legendary trapper.
Tang Dun and Xiao Lingdang stepped forward to help Tang Xiaohao get out of the carriage. Only then did Baomeng notice the beautiful Xiao Lingdang. She knew that she was the so-called personal maid, and she was also the first woman in her husband's life.
Although Baomeng didn't like Tang Xiaohao, she was still very unhappy in her heart. However, when she saw Little Lingdang with a sad expression on her face, she mistakenly thought that this beautiful girl must have been harmed by Tang Xiaohao and could only be forced to surrender.
To him, she became his personal maid.
Therefore, Baomeng felt a little more comfortable, and for a moment he thought that he and Xiao Lingdang were connected by the same fate.
Although Tang Xiaohao also knew what the general etiquette was, his father at home told him that it was Huayuan's rules, but now he was following Rouyuan's rules, so he could only stand there and look at Bao stupidly.
Dream princess.
When Ji Chengying saw this scene in the distance, he couldn't help but laugh. He felt that this Tang Xiaohao was different from the one in the legend. He looked a little stupid and didn't seem to have a very bright mind.
"Come here!" Baomeng whispered, "Stand next to me."
Tang Xiaohao stepped forward and stood on the left side of Baomeng, facing Rouyuan Palace.
Baomeng immediately said: "You are standing on the wrong side, you should be standing on my right!"
Tang Xiaohao explained: "Men are on the left and women are on the right. This is the rule."
Baomeng said coldly: "That's Huayuan's rule, Rouyuan's rule is the other way around."
Tang Xiaohao had no choice but to slowly move from behind Baomeng to his right, and at the same time muttered: "Okay, even if you don't know the difference between left and right."
Baomeng turned to look at Tang Xiaohao: "What did you say?"
Tang Xiaohao straightened his back: "Don't be cruel to me, you must know how to respect your husband."
Princess Baomeng did not argue with him, but said: "Follow my steps, there is a hundred-step ladder in front of you, so you have to walk a hundred steps, and you cannot cross the stairs, otherwise, it will be disrespectful to Jiutian."
Tang Xiaohao had no choice but to follow Princess Baomeng's steps and walk upward. When passing by Ji Chengying, Tang Xiaohao and Ji Chengying looked at each other. Tang Xiaohao even smiled at her deliberately, and Ji Chengying smiled back.
This boy is indeed stupid. Ji Chengying watched the newlyweds slowly walk up the stairs, and she planned to stand here waiting for the wedding ceremony to be completed, and then go up to eat with open stomach.
Although there are many types of royal meals in the palace on weekdays, he must also pay attention to the so-called manners when eating. Even if he is eating alone, if he moves a little bit, the servants next to him will have to remind him, which will already make him bored.
The banquet in Rouyuan can be said to be "bold". You don't need to pay attention to any manners. You can throw your arms away, eat meat and drink heavily. It is extremely enjoyable. Therefore, rather than saying that the emperor pretended to be his younger brother to attend the wedding, it is better to say that
Come and enjoy your meal.
——
On the hillside far away from the Qinghe Hunting Ground, the real Xi Wangye Ji Hanguang and the great counselor Sang Luo were riding on horses looking at the Rouyuan Palace in the distance.
Ji Hanguang yawned, looking sleepy, and took out a handful of tobacco from the bag on his waist, put it in his mouth, and chewed it to refresh himself.
Seeing this, Sang Luo said: "Your Majesty, it's better not to touch this kind of tobacco. Although it can refresh you temporarily, it is always harmful to the body."
Ji Hanguang said: "How long do I have to wait here? Can't I go back to the palace?"
Sang Luo said: "Your Majesty, everyone knows that you are attending a wedding in Rouyuan Palace now. If you go back now, someone will soon know that the emperor is pretending to be you. By then, rumors will spread and everyone in the court will be talking about it.
"
Ji Hanguang said impatiently: "Are these people just telling lies every day when they have nothing to do... Then you watch and I'll take a nap."
Ji Hanguang turned over and dismounted, fell directly on the grass and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
Sang Luo also immediately dismounted, sat next to Ji Hanguang and said: "Your Majesty, people's words are terrible. You should advise the emperor not to pretend to be you in the future. It will be discovered sooner or later."
Ji Hanguang frowned and said: "He is the emperor and I am the prince, how can I persuade him? Shouldn't this kind of thing be done by you, the great counselor of the dynasty? Anyway, everything in the court has nothing to do with me, I just
Thinking about my own life, I wish my brother would send me to the frontier without giving me a fief, I just want to be clean."
Sang Luo looked at Ji Hanguang and found it hard to understand that these two brothers had fought to the death for the throne in past dynasties, but in the current generation of the Dachang Dynasty, neither of these two wanted to be the emperor.
However, Sang Luo was not concerned about this, but about another thing.
Sang Luo looked at Ji Hanguang, who seemed to be about to fall asleep: "My lord, have you heard about the incident where the rebel thief was discovered in the Twelve Red Card Squares some time ago?"
Ji Hanguang said "Yes": "I heard that Tang Chen has already reported it. I heard that no one was arrested, but the murderer of the murder in Nanshi was found. Not only was she a woman, she was also the oiran of the 12th Square."
Sang Luo said: "Tang Chen sent Longbao to Twelfth Square not to catch the rebels, it was just an excuse. But I don't know the specific reason. I only know that it is definitely not a trivial matter. Otherwise, he would not have mobilized Longbao.
ride."
Ji Hanguang opened his eyes and looked at Sang Luo: "What do you mean?"
Sang Luo said: "Because those two rebels were killed by my teacher Hu Shen after they escaped from Shendu City. I saw their heads with my own eyes, but Tang Chen didn't know about it, so
, I’m sure that’s an excuse, I’m more concerned about the other thing.”
Ji Hanguang asked: "What's the matter?"
Sang Luo said: "The father and grandfather of the two rebels were both generals of the previous dynasty. It was not that they were found to be rebelling, but that they were actually hiding the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty."
Ji Hanguang sat up after hearing this and looked directly at Sang Luo: "How come I don't know about this?"
Sang Luo said: "Emperor Shunhe was still alive at that time, but the prince and the emperor were still young. I was only 17 years old at that time, but it was my first time to kill someone."
Ji Hanguang understood that the person sent to deal with the two rebels at that time was Sang Luo.
Ji Hanguang hesitated and asked, "Are those two rebels still carrying the blood of the former royal family?"
"Yes," Sang Luo said extremely calmly, "the ones who escaped from Shendu City were two adults and one child. There were people who were waiting for them outside the city. There were ten people in total. I was only one person at the time. Although I was seriously injured,
But in the end, I completed the task assigned by the teacher.”
Ji Hanguang asked again: "How old is the child?"
Sang Luo replied: "You are still in your infancy."
Ji Hanguang said coldly: "You are so cruel, you won't even let babies go."
Sang Luo pulled up a piece of grass in front of him: "If you cut the grass, you have to get rid of the roots to avoid future troubles. If you don't do that, the remnants of the previous royal family will definitely come back."
Ji Hanguang's words were astonishing: "Yes, when the time comes, with a hundred responses, the Dachang Dynasty will be overthrown in an instant, and we will be the ones to be eradicated immediately."
Why are there so many responses? The reason is very simple. No matter how the dynasties changed in the past, the heir to the throne and the emperor sitting on the dragon chair have the mark of Jiutian. Because starting from the ancient Kunlun Dynasty, the people who ruled Jiuyuan were appointed by Jiutian.
Yes, only the founding emperor of the Dachang Dynasty, Emperor Dingyuan, was different.
Emperor Dingyuan was originally a commoner, that is, an ordinary citizen. Because he could no longer survive, he raised the flag against the imperial court in his hometown and shouted the slogan "Princes and generals should rather have their own kind".
Unexpectedly, such a common man eventually overthrew the imperial court at that time and established the Dachang Dynasty.
The name of the country is Dachang, which means the prosperity of Jiuyuan.
However, after that commoner ascended the throne and became the emperor, what he was most afraid of hearing was the eight-character slogan he once shouted, and even forged a nine-day mark for himself to represent the real emperor. However, this move could not make people from all over Jiuyuan
The forces completely surrendered, which directly led to the beginning of the chaos in Jiuyuan.
Those who teach themselves are the opposite of those who teach others. Of course Emperor Dingyuan knew this truth, but he also knew that if he wanted to be a famous teacher and have a hundred responses, he must respond with the same voice and feel the same spirit.
Those who overthrow the imperial power ultimately want to establish their own imperial power, but after gaining the imperial power, they are afraid that others will use the same method to overthrow themselves.
Human nature is inherently selfish, and the so-called emperor is no exception. This chapter has been completed!
