Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty-Four
The imperial guards traveled, majestic and mighty.
Not to mention that everyone wants to be the emperor, with Zhao Zhen's order, thousands of fully armed imperial guards, led by General Cao Wei and Cao, rode a tall horse out of the palace. For a moment, the horse hooves in Luoyang City were scattered, and the solemn aura spread everywhere. The people on both sides of the road were surprised, avoiding them from afar, and pointing at them from time to time.
Cao Wei was wearing bright silver armor, a long knife on his waist, and was walking in front of the carriage with a tall horse. His pair of copper bells were shining in his eyes, and he glanced at the crowd around him from time to time, alerting that some villains took the opportunity to cause trouble.
Behind Wei was a team of 100-man cavalry wearing black armor, each with expressionless faces and a faint smell of blood on his body. With eyesight, you can tell at a glance that these cavalry are all elite soldiers in the army and are really good at killing people on the battlefield.
Behind were the imperial carriages of Liu E and Zhao Zhen. On both sides of the imperial carriage, in addition to three or five eunuchs and palace maids, there were dozens of sword-wearing guards wearing light armor. At this time, Tai Sui also changed into a Beidou uniform. He rode a horse next to the emperor's imperial carriage, and whispered a few words to Zhao Zhen and Liu E from time to time.
Dongming, Yin Guang and others rode horses behind the side of the imperial carriage, without saying a word, but looked around with vigilance. Obviously, like Cao Wei, they were worried that an assassin would take the opportunity to make trouble. Or
Maybe the change of dress made Tai Sui's figure more upright, or maybe it was because his position was too subtle. The people on the roadside were first intimidated by the military, and then they reacted and pointed at Tai Sui."
You see, that is the wise prince, the emperor's biological brother."
Oh, it’s the prince who has been wandering among the people for many years!”
Yes! If he had been retrieved earlier, he would have been the Lord of the present."
In today's Song Dynasty, the officials from Taizu have been very kind to the people, and people are not afraid, and are talking nonsense.
When Tai Sui and Zhao Zhen heard these comments, they didn't care. At most they just smiled, but Liu E frowned from time to time, with a slightly displeasure on her face.
However, this has been the case with the royal family for a long time. Even Liu E dared not break this tradition. She quickly restrained her expression on her face and became expressionless.
In the crowd, a figure dressed in a civilian was hiding among the people, staring at the imperial carriage and walking past. Her brown eyes narrowed slightly, making her look so ugly and resentful.
The palace on the side was very lively, and there were endless pedestrians at the other Luoyang city gate. Suddenly, a fast horse came from a distance. When I saw the Luoyang city gate from afar, the knight immediately stopped the horse and slowed down his speed.
The Knight is no one else, but it is Tianjizi who came all the way from Biyou Palace.
Shi Tianjizi was in a mess. Although the robe of the alchemist who was originally graceful and elegant as a fairy was not as ragged as a slight robe, it was dusty, and his chest and collar were stained with dark purple blood.
As soon as he slowed down, a wisp of blood came out of the corner of Tianjizi's mouth. He raised his arm, casually covered his mouth with a wide sleeve robe, gasped and looked up, looking at the two big words "Luoyang" at the top of the city, and let out a long sigh. He crawled on the horse for a long time before he recovered and slowly turned over and dismounted.
That's it. His figure shook for a while before he stood firm. He took a deep breath in place and slowly walked towards the city gate with the reins of the horse.
There was a noise in front of the gate, and a team of Khitan delegations were entering the city. Deputy envoy Yi Xin stood in front, raised his chin and looked down at the guard soldiers, and said arrogantly: "We are here to say goodbye to the Emperor of Song!"
Wei looked carefully at the documents handed over by the other party, then raised his head and looked at the Khitan mission opposite him. His eyes narrowed, and finally waved his hand and made way.
“Let it go!”
"Hmph!" Yi Xin snorted lightly in his nose, raised his head and looked at the word "Luoyang" on the city gate, waved his hand behind him, and shouted coldly: "Enter the city!"
With a command, the Khitan delegation responded in unison and walked towards the city.
When the people passed by side, they all looked complicated, contempt and angry as the Khitans entered the city. Some people looked at the majestic and tough appearance of the Khitans, and they showed a faint fear. They were talking for a while and whispered.
Seeing this scene from afar, Tianjizi showed an urgent look in his eyes, and he forced himself to speed up his pace, and entered the city with the Khitans.
In Yangcheng, Tianjin Bridge.
The masters came and went, set up stalls, hawked, and the pedestrians passing by all looked leisurely, talking and laughing, and some were talking and talking about the emperor's carriage who had just been traveling, curious about where the carriage was going.
At that time, on the Luo River under the bridge, a boatman slowly sailed with a small boat. A young man in a gray long gown with a stunning head stood on the bow of the boat. If Tianjizi was here, he would have recognized at a glance that this person was Di Ksitigarbha.
At this time, Dizang was full of energy and vibrantness. How could he look like the old man? He was straight, standing on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, looking at the scene of the Tianjin Bridge, two purple lightning flashed in his eyes, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and murmured disdainfully: "A bunch of ants!"
How long did the boat slowly approach the shore? The dock was already full of flower boats and embroidered boats. There were only some gaps to get in. Fortunately, the boatman was good at craftsmanship and squeezed in.
"Callant, we are here!" The boatman stopped the boat, nodded and bowed to Dizang, and his wrinkled face was filled with a smile.
"Yes!" Dizang snorted lightly, threw out a silver ingot, and calmly stepped ashore without waiting for the boatman to answer, and left. Luo Shiranuo.
Yanglingtai was built in the original Tang Dynasty palace. It is ten feet in radius and six feet high. It is divided into two upper and lower floors. The lower floor platform is a corridor-style building; the upper floor platform is a place for observing astronomical phenomena, with a ramp directly leading to the second floor platform in the middle of the north. There is a stone house at each corner of the second floor platform. The house on the west is white, red on the south, green on the east, and black on the north, meaning the four spirits - East Qinglong, West White Tiger, South Vermillion Bird, and North Xuanwu.
In the center of the platform, there are armillary spheres, seismometers and other objects that observe celestial images. They are only under the wind and rain for hundreds of years. Although they are not decayed or corrupt, they are no longer the same as they are gray and look very dilapidated.
The Emperor Luan Jie rushed to the Lingtai under the crowd of imperial guards. As soon as the imperial guards stopped, the imperial guards immediately divided up a team of troops to surround the Lingtai, and then turned outside and guarded with weapons. Feng
The sound was howling, but the three thousand imperial guards were silent. The majestic military aura circled in the air. The nearby people and tourists changed their colors. They avoided them without driving them away and dared not approach them.
The little emperor Zhao Zhen jumped off the imperial carriage and looked up at the spiritual platform with great enthusiasm. His clear big eyes were full of curiosity and expectation. Empress Dowager Liu E stretched out a palm with golden silk gloves, and immediately a eunuch stepped forward quickly, lowered his head and stretched out his arms. Liu E's palm gently pressed on the eunuch's arm, slowly poking out the phoenix crown from the imperial carriage. Behind the bead curtain, a pair of phoenix eyes raised their eyes and looked around, with graceful demeanor and strolled down.
