Chapter 298 Long time no see (end)(1/2)
Officials from Honglu Temple brought a brand new crown to the prince. Nine heralds of sun and moon, stars, mountains, dragons, flower insects, Zongyi, algae, fire, pink rice, fu, and fu, wearing nine crowns on their heads and white jade belts on their waists.
He brought silver armor and silver helmets to the thirty-seven Yulin Army. Li Xuan and all considered that the thirty-seven Yulin Army took off their clothes and turned into a majestic Yulin Army. The white pheasant tail was raised high and moved with the wind.
They brought Chen Liqin a brand new fourth-rank official robe, with Yun Yan's patches sewn on her chest and behind her, and black soap boots on her feet.
Forty people were summoned, but only Chen Ji was still unofficial, and he was a commoner.
The boy's black standing collar has outstanding black collar and tall figure, but it is out of place among these forty people.
Xiaoman lay on the window frame on the second floor and was indignant: "Why didn't they bring my son's official robes? My son must be very heroic and not worse than them!"
Zhang Xia touched her head and said with a smile: "Chen Ji's official position can only be decided after meeting the saint today."
Xiaoman said regretfully: "This time I return to Beijing, there will definitely be many ladies of noble families waiting to see in the inner city. If the young master changes into an official robe, he will be so majestic."
Zhang Xia casually said: "It's not a problem, he looks down on those idiotic women."
Xiaoman thought for a while: "That's right!"
Her eyes rolled: "Second sister, you said just now, let the young master meet the person he wants to see, who is the person he wants to see?"
Zhang Xia whispered: "The stars in the sky."
Downstairs, officials from Honglu Temple began to queue up when they entered the city again.
The prince took the lead, Li Xuan and Chen Liqin headed side by side, Chen was on the left and Li was on the right, and then there were thirty-six Yulin soldiers traveling in pairs, and finally there was a trace of a man who was alone at the end.
Seeing this, he immediately said to the officials of the Honglu Temple: "This is not possible. In this Guyuan battle, Chen Ji's contribution was only second to Commander Li. How could he be at the end?"
Li Xuan shook his head: "No, he deserves me, so he should be with Lord Chen."
Even the other Yulin soldiers stood there without moving, unwilling to be in front of Chen Ji.
The middle-aged official of Honglu Temple said angrily: "Dear heroes, there are tens of thousands of people going back to Beijing to watch the ceremony. I don't bother with you who have the greatest contribution. The order is not based on the merits, but on the official position. Could it be that Lord Chen has no merits, so I will rank him the last one?"
"It's not impossible..."
Li Xuan glared at him, then clasped his fists at the Honglu Temple officials and said, "But Chen Ji is the right guard whom His Highness personally approved..."
The official of the Honglu Temple raised his hand: "Stop, stop, the Ministry of Personnel has not issued a document yet. Don't make any taboos. His sixth-rank right guard will count after he has been faced with the saint. Today, he will only go to the palace to face the saint. The key is to let the people meet the triumphant soldiers and shine on the saint, and I will still be on the verge of Wuwei. The front and back of the strait will not affect the saint's praise. Don't waste your time. Your Majesty will have to meet the envoys of foreign countries after you see him."
Let's consider what else to say.
Chen Ji held Zaozao's reins and said with a smile: "Don't argue, I'm the same everywhere."
Li Xuan and Qi stopped talking, but the officials of the Honglu Temple looked at the Zaozao behind Chen Ji and turned back to the white horse under the prince's seat.
The carefully selected white horse was actually a shorter than Zaozao.
An official from the Honglu Temple hurriedly said, "No, no, how can a horse steal the limelight from His Highness? Change this horse to the prince."
But as soon as he approached, Zaozao opened his mouth violently to bite him, which scared him to retreat repeatedly.
Chen Ji touched Zaozao's cheek: "Go back to the stable, you and your second sister will return to Beijing later."
Zaozao obediently returned to the stable, lowered his head to eat the drafting materials, and the officials of the Honglu Temple helped the black veil on their heads, marveling: "It's so amazing, this horse is human!"
Chen Ji went to the inn to change his horse and said with a smile: "Sir, you can set off."
The official from Honglu Temple waved to everyone: "When you enter Beijing, remember to slow down, don't mess up the formation!"
All of them were so angry: "Master, they are used to seeing people first... I used to do this, don't be as knowledgeable as they are, and don't be as knowledgeable as me."
Chen Ji said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
...
...
The long ceremonial war started slowly. They set out from Fengtai, walked east along the rammed earth official road, and rode horses to You'anmen for two hours.
After entering the outer city of the capital, the people stood on both sides of Xuanwumen Street full of cheers.
When the prince passed through the city gate, the Yulin Army was as handsome as a dragon, and the people roared and thundered. The people wearing coarse cloth clothes threw the flowers they picked from the city in the morning to the ground, and they were excited.
A young man followed the team and asked happily as he walked, "I heard that Lord Li was taking the head of the General in Guyuan from the scene. Is this true?"
"I heard that the Prince's Highness was planning to tackle the strategy of Jing Chaotiance's army using a secret passage to assassinate the Prince's Highness, but was killed by the Yulin Army. Is this true?"
A young scholar shouted in the street: "I wrote a poem for the generals!"
After saying that, he recited in the street as if no one else was around: "The hooves cracked the snow in Guyuan, the bow shocked Wu Xing. The silver armor burned the tent of the enemy, and the long sword slashed the capital. Xuanwu paved the flower brocade, the feather forest was divided into several parts. The songs were boiling in nine quintes, and the people gathered new honors!"
Very lively.
The last time Xuanwu Gate was so lively, it seemed that it was the 25th year of Jianing.
The people cheered, but these cheers were not distributed to Chen Ji. There was no Chen Ji in the story of the story of the storyteller.
After all, everyone knows the Yulin Army, but no one knows Chen Ji when it comes to mention Chen Ji. The storyteller has to work hard to explain who Chen Ji is to the guests in the teahouse, and the guests may not be able to remember it.
Li Xuan looked back at Chen Ji worriedly, but saw the other party standing alone at the end of the team and silently.
Chen Ji was looking at the capital curiously, his eyes no longer knowing where to go.
The capital city is taller, cleaner and neat than Guyuan. Iron cannon firearms are mounted on the walls, tall red flags are waving in the wind, and soldiers are wearing armor and helmets.
It turns out that this is the most majestic appearance of Ning Chao City... But Chen Ji always feels that something is missing.
The team walked along Xuanwumen Street into the inner city, then headed east along Chang'an Street toward the palace.
In the inner city, there is no longer a rammed earth road, but a beautiful blue brick road.
The houses are lined up one after another, orderly, and the white walls and gray tiles are refreshing.
Here, the brightly dressed girls were not afraid of the cold spring, and they changed into Luosha jackets and horse-faced skirts early, with pearl collar buckles on the stand-up collars, and groups covered their faces with gauzes, unscrupulously looking at the Yulin Army soldiers on the white horse.
Their eyes swept from the front of the team to the end of the team until they saw Chen Ji, and then they moved their eyes lightly back to the front.
A lady from a noble family pointed at a Yulin Army and said proudly: "Did you see it? That's my brother!"
The girls immediately surrounded and chattered: "Hey, please ask your brother for me, the Yulin Army in the fourth row..."
At this time, someone whispered: "Who is the one at the end of the team? Why aren't you wearing armor?"
"I think it's the minor official in charge of the ceremonial guards of Honglu Temple."
...
...
The ceremonial guard slowly came to the front of the Meridian Gate, and everyone was searched for inspection.
The one who searched the Yulin Army was also the Yulin Army.
The Yulin Army soldiers who were on the rotation of the Meridian Gate said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lord Li and Lord Qi, this Guyuan battle really gave the Yulin Army commander the face. The boys of the Long Live Army have been respectful to us recently. Dear brothers, we are waiting to hold a banquet in Baishun Hutong tonight."
"Haha, you still have a conscience. The reception banquet in Baishun Hutong is considered to be full of sincerity," Qi Zhenzhe smiled and said, "Tomorrow night, my family will hold a celebration banquet in Gubu Building, and we will all come!"
"Wow, the drumbeard building!"
Seeing everyone's noisy, Li Xuan poured a basin of cold water on his face: "If you want others to look down on me, you have to train me well. I have found a great coach for you. Whoever is lazy in the future will be unarmed and go home."
Seeing that the commander's face was unwilling, the Yulin Army immediately stopped and finished the inspection and let it go.
He walked into the Meridian Gate and muttered in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, why are you stern in your happy days?"
Li Xuan glanced at him: "You have also seen what the Yulin Army went to Guyuan this time. Including you, you have the skills of the officials but don't know how to fight. How can I be happy?"
He smiled and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Next, my master will be responsible for training. We will definitely enter the country for a long time!"
Li Xuan turned around, but saw Chen Ji lowering his head and following everyone, always silent.
When I entered the Sixth Casino, I said calmly: "Take off my boots, untied my sword, and search my body."
Chen Ji looked up and saw a familiar face. The other party was wearing a black flying fish suit, a red embroidered python on his shoulder stretched to his chest, and a knife with a waist and hips.
The chief of the Criminal Department, the commander of Jiefanwei, Lin Chaoqing.
Chen Ji had had a lot of dealings with the other party in Luocheng, but he never saw him again after the incident. Unexpectedly, the other party was transferred back to the palace by Sili Superintendent and listened to the poor rotation.
Lin Chaoqing's eyes swept across everyone's faces, and when he swept over Chen Ji, he seemed to have doubts, but he didn't care.
In Luocheng, Chen Ji helped Yun Yang and Jiao Rabbit always masked and never showed his true face. So when he saw Chen Ji, he felt a little familiar, but forgot where he had seen him.
The Sixth Corridor is the last level in front of the Holy Saint. Everyone searches here, and they are more careful than the Yulin Army of the Meridian Gate. Even the outer robes must be taken off one by one to prevent entrainment.
At this moment, a dull voice came from behind Lin Chaoqing: "The envoys of foreign countries entered the palace early and offered tributes and auspiciousness in Renshou Palace. The inner prime minister has an order to ask His Highness and the Yulin Army soldiers to wait for the Zhongcui Palace, and then lead them to Renshou Palace to meet the saint."
Chen Ji looked up in shock, but saw a man wearing a white dragon mask with a large white collar spotless. This man just stood casually in the Sixth Casino, which could attract everyone's attention.
White Dragon!
Mr. Feng!
When Lin Chaoqing heard this, hesitated and said, "Mr. Bailong, they are not following the orders here, but they are afraid they are not in accordance with the rules."
Bai Long smiled: "What, Commander Lin is now listening to Lord Wu Xiu's words, and the inner minister can't help it?"
Lin Chaoqing hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "I dare not, I'm humble..."
Bai Long laughed: "Commander Lin is on the same level as this rank, so he doesn't need to be called a humble position."
Lin Chaoqing said humbly: "It's different. I will take them to Zhongcui Palace to be ordered."
To be continued...
