And in the imperial city of Luodu (Ziwei City), the prince of the dynasty, who was wearing a dark purple Dake (big flower) silk shirt, a folded turban, a nine-ring belt, and Liuhe boots, looked dignified and elegant; he was also there.
Surrounded by the accompanying ministers, he walked westward through the Feixiang Hall, Liubei Hall, Dayi Hall and other palace complexes.
But when he finally arrived at the Shanzhaiyuan beside the Kyushu Pond in the Taoguang Garden in the northwest of the imperial city, there were only the last two eunuchs left with him. And amid the gentle reports from the internal officials, His Highness the Crown Prince was alone.
Climbing the long steps, we arrived at the largest palace building in the courtyard.
In the brightly lit hall, there was only a slightly squat but majestic figure; he stood quietly in front of the tall mural of a tall figure with his hands behind his back. The prince bowed his hands and saluted respectfully:
"Father, you are exposed late at night, please take care of yourself..."
"..." However, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty laughed without looking back. The prince's back was numb when he laughed, and then he said: "My son is really filial! But I have been in power for twenty-seven or eight years.
It doesn't matter if you take care of yourself or not; aren't you still a big boy like you?"
"Father is serious...Father is serious." However, the prince sweated even more when he heard this: "You are at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, when everything is promising; not to mention the laws of the country, the ancestors of all generations have their own rules and regulations.
How dare I, my son, dare to overstep the mark? I can only serve you with filial piety."
"It is a national law, and ancestors of all generations have their own rules and regulations." The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty still did not turn around, and naturally could not see his true expression, but suddenly stared at a large mural in front of him of the daily life of the previous kings and said.
: "Actually, what I admire the most is the Xuan Temple!"
In this mural of group portraits and scenes that is more than two feet high, it is clearly the Tang Dynasty Emperor Xuanzong (Li Longji) who created the prosperous Kaiyuan Dynasty. He received the ministers and the vast number of people on the ground floor of Nannei (Xingqing Palace).
The style of the era of worship. However, the emperor continued to speak:
"At the beginning, Xuanmiao was just an idle king of a clan, but with hundreds of royal followers, domestic servants and inner garden craftsmen, he easily overthrew the dictatorial government and the whole party of Empress Wei/Wu; Jiang Ruimiao
To be promoted to a prestigious position is such a fascinating courage and ambition!"
"..." Upon hearing this, the prince responded quickly with confusion and confusion on his face: "I am scared, but I also care about the achievements of my ancestors and are willing to assist your father..."
"Sanlang, there is no need to panic, and I don't mean to be harsh; it's just that it's getting harder and harder to sleep at night, and I'm so lucky to have suddenly felt something when I traveled here." However, the emperor turned his back to him and waved his hand gently: "After all, Xuan Temple can
Everything is successful, after all, it is the right time, the right place, the right people, and the right people;”
"It's nothing more than Weishi's one-party dictatorship that ruins the country and is unpopular. People have already rebelled against relatives and alienated relatives, and there is an uproar at home and abroad. Therefore, when Xuan Temple takes advantage of the momentum, it doesn't matter Yulin Tuenmen, Wanqi Feijian, or Nanya guards;
Jing Cong either became a spectator; this is how Jing Long Yi Ding was created."
"I have grown old, so I have to face my ancestors and think too much." At this point, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty suddenly turned around and said, "My dear eldest son, I will maintain the continuity of the imperial lineage in the future."
If the authority of the Heavenly Family does not fall, I have to count on you..."
However, when the prince, whose face was full of sadness and reverence, exited the Shanzhaiyuan, he suddenly stopped in an open space by the Jiuzhou Pool. Immediately, an eunuch wearing clothes emerged from the nearby waterside pavilion. The servants who were following him spontaneously walked to both sides to be on guard.
"Chen Hemen, you are Mr. Tian's most effective lieutenant, and you are also honored to be serving the emperor. I just want to ask you a question." The prince asked with a cold face: "How is the emperor's health? Is it really true that we have reached the point where we can no longer look at things for a long time?"
"Returning to Your Majesty." Chen Hemen, who was thin and had slender eyebrows, carefully replied with lowered eyebrows: "According to several routine internal consultations, Your Majesty has always been just a minor ailment; it's just that there are several days when he doesn't feel well. I’m lucky to be my concubine again, and I want to practice abstinence and self-cultivation according to the health regimen..."
At the same time, Jiang Tian, who had been running along the straight road all night, also returned to the underground headquarters in the southwest corner of Chang'an City. However, after more than a month (several years in another world), inside the headquarters in the underground cavity It seemed busier and more lively;
Not only are there many new buildings and facilities in the ruins of the city used for simulation training, but there are also more corridors and openings on the four walls. This also represents the underground space that was closed in the past. , and some of them were gradually opened due to needs.
The expanded training ground is bustling with people, and thousands of recruits are being trained; these soldiers, who only have a few leather armors and cloth armors, are hidden in complex buildings and ruins from time to time, with their claws cut off and restraints tied on. The strange beasts were knocked over one after another and fell to the ground.
However, there are also some soldiers with pumped muscles or strong bodies who stand at a high place to monitor the scene. Once the alien beasts are used as training materials and targets for confrontation, they will fly down if there are any signs of losing control or breaking free from restraints. He was easily knocked down and suppressed again.
In the corridors and openings on the stone wall, craftsmen and handymen were constantly coming in and out, using carts and lifting platforms to transport a large amount of materials and equipment. Armored soldiers wearing gray spider shell armor and special goggles and helmets were holding Fire blunderbuss and short-barreled hand cannons during the shuttle.
In addition, there is a corner of the underground space, a large mechanical workshop driven by water wheels; the faint sparks and roars coming from the smelting and forging, and the billowing smoke from the cooling water pipes. It actually looks a bit classical and feudal. Under the skin, stitching weird cyberpunk meaning.
But at the top of a tower in the underground city, there is something like a shrine. It is shrouded by prayer flags with Sanskrit written on it. It emits a kind of vague fluctuation from time to time; and it makes the surrounding area hundreds of meters Inside, all living creatures feel peace and tranquility.
Among them are some lay soldiers and expert team members who have obvious physical distortions, partial deformations and abnormal expressions; there are also some aliens specially loaded in stainless steel cages. But whether they are common ferocious beasts, ghosts, or other strange monsters The existences like these are all lying low in the cage.
It is like being shrouded in this invisible halo, these beings born due to mutations have lost their bloodthirsty desires and violent impulses, and can only lie lazily in the cage, facing the living blood so close at hand. Food and animal organs; indifferent and lost most interest.
There are even some severely deformed ghosts who are obviously gradually re-transforming into human forms. Other soldiers and team members with partial deformations or abnormal expressions are also relieved and subsided under this invisible influence, and then they
Taken away for further conditioning.
When Jiang Tian entered the underground headquarters surrounded by a cadre of subordinates, there was a sudden loss of voice and silence wherever he passed, and then there was a wave of salutes and a wave of voices: "See the Supervisor!" "Supervisor!"
Si Wan'an." "I have met Shangguan." "Welcome to Shangguan."
It was as if the previously distinct atmosphere in each functional area was suddenly broken. Immediately afterwards, Deputy Supervisor Yu Cong, who had been notified in advance, also led the heads of various departments, with complex expressions on their faces and a forced suppression of something.
Emotion, he came forward and said with relief:
"As long as the supervisor comes back, everything will be easy to handle."
In fact, during the more than a month after Jiang Tian lost contact, as the deputy supervisor of the left-behind headquarters, he seemed to have endured various pressures from all aspects, and even the endless probing methods that he could not cope with made him understand clearly.
One fact is that the other party is the real backbone of the Xijing branch.
After all, he neither has the tyrannical force to overthrow the entire field, nor the extraordinary ability to kill the insignificant, nor does he have the prestige to create, train and equip those elite soldiers from scratch. He is just an ordinary person.
He is just a qualified official from the imperial examination;
Therefore, although Yu Cong can rely on the inertia and authority of the system to drive these subordinates who have special expertise or extraordinary means, he has no way to command them like an arm, or gain their heartfelt trust and compliance. And this kind of
The situation also gave him a sense of crisis.
Because he found that compared to the chief officer, his position was not irreplaceable; in other words, given the size of the country, he could always find someone who was more outstanding and outstanding than him, or who had more power and background.
After Jiang Tian lost contact, various situations followed one after another.
Wrapped up in the initiative to provide more materials, budget allocations and quotas, it is the conspiracy of various yamen to insert and reach out to Xijingli Xingyuan; it even makes it impossible for him to refuse and confront him head-on. Instead, he can only take advantage of the outside world.
Under pressure, Xiao uses interests to unite the people of the headquarters.
On the other hand, they are trying their best to delay and circumvent; they are also releasing true and false news and smoke to make the forces with ulterior motives behind these yamen constrain and interfere with each other in disguise;
It is expected to retain the core team of the Xijing branch.
Even if we give up the command and control of the fifth layman battalion, as well as the three key areas such as the Grain Hall, Training Hall, and Works and Battalion Hall, as long as we can keep the most important maintenance room, as well as the directly subordinate internal security and mobile teams, we will not be able to
Being torn apart or assigned elsewhere; there is still room for recovery.
For this reason, Yu Cong hardly went home this month. He lived and ate in the headquarters day and night, and worked so hard that his hair almost fell out. Now, with the return of Jiang Tian, all this has been completely solved. Those people can
I don’t care about Cong, a mere Dongge bachelor;
But there is no way to ignore and ignore, in today's world where monsters are frequently appearing; a "disaster star" and "living star" who can use extraordinary means to ignore most of the constraints of the court system and kill mountains of corpses and seas of blood wherever he goes.
"Taisui", the consequences and costs after being angered.
