Chapter 73 In the Palace of the Virgin
Kong Miaozhizheng said that the prince was traveling incognito and met Baili Qi by chance. They were both in the shape of unicorns at first, and they refused to accept the other. The two met for ten gambling fights, but they couldn't decide the outcome. In the end, Baili Qi didn't know what happened.
I remembered a sentence: A hero is saddened by a beauty, so he came up with a particularly bad bet.
The most stunning beauty in the imperial capital was Mrs. Ya, who was still a young lady at the time. The two planned to meet Mrs. Ya one after another. The bet was on which one would be the last to embrace the beauty, but in the end they both fell in love.
Net. At that time, the prince even wanted to get Mrs. Ya at the risk of exposing his identity. But for some reason, Baili Qi disappeared in the end. After becoming the emperor, the prince rewarded this courtyard to Mrs. Ya, and occasionally came to see her, but
In the end, he was not recruited into the palace.
There has been a rumor that the prince killed Baili Qi, but in the end it completely broke Mrs. Ya's heart. Mrs. Ya said that she would not enter the palace even if she wanted to die.
Mrs. Ya died at the age of twenty-nine. From then on, the garden has been empty.
After hearing what Kong Miaozhi said, Wu Qi squeaked, and then said: "Hey, I don't know if Mrs. Ya is as good as the fourth child. It's all a disaster!"
Kong Miaozhi said mysteriously: "This Yafeng is the place where the prince and Mrs. Ya had a tryst. After the death of Mrs. Ya, the prince was alone for a while. I don't know if there is any treasure left."
Wu Qi's eyes widened after hearing this: "This garden belongs to Lao Qi, even if there are treasures, it belongs to Lao Qi. Lao Liu, you got started early, so don't take advantage of Lao Qi."
Kong Miaozhi was used to fighting with Wu Qi. It was the first time he saw him so serious. He just said a little funny: "Back then, Bailiqi was known as the Immortal Finger, and he could make unpredictable ghosts and gods with his flying knife. Maybe there is something in this garden."
What secrets..."
Wu Qi's eyes widened again after hearing this, and then his face turned red: "Secret book? Immortal finger? Don't lie to me, Liu!"
Kong Miaozhi was humming a tune beside him proudly and ignored him. Wu Qi thought for a moment, licked his face and said to Du Jie: "Old Qi, I'm not supposed to take advantage of you as a brother, but you know that we
The master is not good at concealed weapons, so the moves given to me and my second son were all inferior. The second son had Beiming Monk to run a small stove, but that monk was too stingy. I..."
Du Jie still didn't know what he was thinking, so he smiled and waved his hands and said: "I understand what third brother means. Anyway, I am not proficient in hidden weapons. If you can find Baili Qi's secret book in this elegant garden, you can take it."
, why are you being polite to me?"
After hearing this, Wu Qi laughed loudly: "After all, it was because of the guidance of an expert that Lao Qi's current state is different. Lao Liu, hurry up and think about where the secret book will be placed."
Kong Miaozhi rolled her eyes at Wu Qi, and saw that he was still looking at her excitedly, and said helplessly: "I'm not Bailiqi's son. I don't know where he will live, or even whether he has been to Yazhou before."
Garden, I don’t know if I’ve released the secret book or not. It’s still a long time, so I’ll look for it slowly.”
Wu Qi also knew that what Kong Miaozhi said was right, but he really couldn't sit still. Du Jie was not an outsider anyway, so he stopped chatting with them and tried his luck alone.
Kong Miaozhi knew that Wu Qi wanted to learn kung fu well and show off in front of Gu Wu, so he said nothing, turned around and continued to ask Du Jie: "Lao Qi, did Prime Minister Zuo Ban have anything to ask of your Du family this time?"
?”
Du Jie had a wry smile on his face: "Now I finally understand why grandpa doesn't want to be an official in the court. This Prime Minister Zuoban is here to form a gang."
Kong Miaozhi chuckled: "I expected that to be the case. This temple is no different from the market. But with the emperor's orders, your grandfather will probably come to the imperial capital soon."
"My grandfather? What? I understand, it was to replace me? But why did the emperor treat our Du family like this? I read history books and found out that the emperor wanted to relinquish military power for those people who had great achievements, but my grandfather took the initiative to relinquish his power.
Military power, why does the emperor still want my grandfather to take office again?"
"Our emperor has just ascended the throne. Logically speaking, we should not go into military force at this time. However, it is not necessarily the case. Maybe the emperor has some uncertain battles to fight, but I am sure that your grandfather will return to the imperial capital in a few days." Kong
Miaozhi said with some sadness.
"No wonder when I returned to my hometown last time, my grandfather released the news that he had passed away. It seems that the emperor had already visited him several times, and this time it was because of me..."
Kong Miaozhi patted Du Jie: "Lao Qi, how can anyone disobey the emperor's decree? What's more, no one expected it at the time. Don't blame yourself too much. Maybe everything is just our imagination. Things haven't happened yet.
Who knows what will happen in the end, but now that you are Mr. Wu An after all, just act like Mr. Wu An. Blessings and misfortunes come from blessings, and misfortunes come from blessings. Let’s enjoy it for a few days first. You see, the third child, all he wants to do is
More than the second child, keep it simple and don’t think too much.”
Du Jie just shook his head helplessly and remained silent.
Those who were granted a title or title would have to thank the emperor in the morning for his kindness the next day. Du Jie put on his official uniform early the next day and quietly waited for the summons outside the palace. He had not even had time to burn incense before going to court.
When the eunuchs on the left and right shouted, "It is said that Duke Wu'an, Du Jie, is here to see you."
Du Jie calmed down and followed the escorting eunuch and walked in. After entering the hall, he bowed three times and kowtowed, and the mountain shouted long live. Then he heard a hearty laugh, and then a person in the middle of the hall said: "Du Aiqing, please get down quickly."
."
Du Jie thanked the saint again and stood up. The man came down from the stage and took two steps, held Du Jie's hand, and laughed loudly: "General Du, please let me wait easily. When Marshal Du taught the class
I wanted to see General Du when I returned to the court, but I didn't expect to finally see him today. He is indeed a rare talent. Come and give me a seat!"
Du Jie was originally thinking of saying a few polite words, but after hearing the word "give me a seat," everyone suddenly started whispering.
It is a great honor to be given a seat in front of the palace. He is either a minister of the imperial court or a military general who has made great military exploits. Du Jie is only twenty years old. Although he has been fighting at the border, he is still far away from being given a seat in front of the palace. Minister
They all seemed to see something different.
But the emperor didn't seem to care, and Du Jie was even more confused. When he sat down, he looked up at the little emperor in front of him. This little emperor who had just ascended the throne was only two years older than him. The old emperor was so angry that he swallowed everything.
, the founding posture of a peerless hero. However, the little emperor seemed to be extremely mediocre.
Since the emperor's rise to the throne, the country's fortunes have been surprisingly good. The domestic chaos has almost calmed down. The Northwest War was a major turning point not long after the young emperor ascended the throne. Marshal Du also grasped this and was able to break the deadlock.
, otherwise if Northwest delays for a few years, it may bring down the entire imperial court.
Du Jie saw that although the little emperor was two years older than him, he had a baby face and a smile in his eyes. Although he was wearing a dragon robe, he did not have a trace of imperial majesty. He seemed to be a young boy with a smile on his face.
The ministers on the left and right seemed not to be surprised.
"Little Du Gong, are you used to living in Yayuan? If you are not used to it, just move to the palace." The little emperor suddenly said with a smile at this time.
Du Jie stood up in a hurry and replied: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. Being in Graceland is already a gift from God."
The little emperor nodded, beckoned him to sit down, and then said to everyone: "My dear friends, do you have any notes today?"
After asking three times, an old man who was over sixty years old came out hesitantly, and then said carefully: "Your Majesty, people from the green forest have been arriving in Kyoto one after another in the past few days, but these people are born in a rough and uncivilized manner. Already.
I had many conflicts with the soldiers guarding the city. I..."
After hearing this, the little emperor waved his hand and said to the old man with a smile: "Old dear, you are worrying too much. Everyone in the world is my subject. When I was the prince, I had many contacts with people in the martial arts.
My dear, please don’t regard martial arts as a monster. You can take care of everything in the world for me, why are you still afraid of this small world?"
After hearing this, the old man's blood surged, and he said tremblingly: "Your Majesty is the foundation of the country. I just want to ask your Majesty to take more precautions. This green forest man is so bold. If there is any slack in the palace's defense, the consequences will be disastrous!"
The little emperor nodded: "Don't worry, my dear, with little Duke Du in Beijing, the palace will be safe."
After the emperor finished speaking, countless surprised sunlight in the hall swept towards Du Jie. Du Jie himself looked back at the emperor with a look of disbelief on his face, only to see him smiling and nodding to himself. Then he said: "Since today
If nothing happens, then you can retire from the imperial court. Young Duke Du is coming to Kyoto for the first time, so how about he come with me to the state religion?"
Du Jie hurriedly stood up and said yes. The little emperor seemed very proud today. He took Du Jie's hand and walked out of the palace. The dragon chariot outside the palace had been waiting for a long time. The little emperor originally wanted to take Du Jie and share the dragon chariot.
How could Du Jie be so brave? He hurriedly kowtowed and declined. The little emperor saw that he was really careless and let it go.
The National Church is located directly east of the palace. The architectural style of the entire National Church is extremely grand. Even when compared to the Imperial Palace, it is even worse. The Saint's Palace in the main hall of the National Church has three legendary artifacts. One of them is the hundred and zero in front of the palace.
Eight steps. It is said that this step is also called the Immortal Tribulation.
The one hundred and eight steps correspond to the age of one hundred and eight people in the world. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, when people climb the Immortal Tribulation, as long as they continue to breathe, they can live as long as they climb to whichever step they climb. If someone can climb all these hundred
At level 08, one is already a human being and is no longer in the immortal calamity.
The emperor's dragon chariot stopped under the Immortal Tribulation. The little emperor looked at this and said to Du Jie with a smile: "Has Little Duke Du heard of the Immortal Tribulation?"
Du Jie had heard from the Black and White elders that this Immortal Tribulation was the first step for the Saint to select her disciples, and those who could not reach more than a dozen disciples would not be able to join the state religion.
The little emperor didn't wait for Du Jie to say anything and then said: "I climbed once when I was a child. I didn't expect that I was exhausted when I reached more than 40 steps. Fortunately, it wasn't the Mid-Autumn Festival at that time, and I couldn't do much. Why don't you try to compete with me today?
