Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Palace

Horseback riding is not allowed in the palace, violators, what......

So Xiao Han and the old eunuch could only strain their legs.

When he passed through the magnificent outer buildings, it was only now that Xiao Han knew that the Chang'an Palace was so big that it was beyond his imagination! The Forbidden City, it's not that he hasn't been there, but compared with the power center of the Tang Dynasty in front of him, he really responds to an idiom: a small witch sees a big witch!

I have seen countless palace films in my previous life, but in Xiao Han's eyes, no matter how brilliant and grand the scene is, it is not as good as what is in front of me!

Following the old eunuch across a curved arch bridge, Xiao Han saw the destination of this trip from afar, Daxing Palace!

The Daxing Hall is not a single palace, but is surrounded by several side halls, like the stars and the moon enclose the heavenly palace-like Daxing Hall in the middle.

If you want to enter the Daxing Palace, you must first pass through a vast square, this square is huge, at a cursory glance, at least a few football fields the size of the same, different from when you came, there is not a single tree here, monotonous color, monotonous shape, even the air seems to be filled with only a breath of slaughter!

And the Daxing Palace, at the end of this square, stands majestically, like a high mountain, attached to this land, the sunset in the west shines over, a brilliant! Seeing this, Xiao Han finally understood a little why Qin Wuyang, who was walking with Jing Ke in person, was so frightened and trembling when he saw the main hall of the Qin Kingdom!

Is Qin Wuyang a coward? Apparently not, a person who started killing at the age of twelve would be a coward?

But when he saw the Xianyang Palace, the mountain-like huge building was like a giant beast, completely destroying Qin Wuyang's psychology, what kind of national strength did it take to build such a miraculous great palace, at that moment, he could no longer see that Yan Guo had any chance of winning, and what he trembled was the despair that he couldn't see hope......

But relatively speaking, Xiao Han is much stronger than Qin Wuyang (nonsense, people are going to commit suicide, and the strong man will never return once he is gone, you are going to receive the reward, can this be the same fucking?) )

Standing under the huge palace complex, looking up, the sunlight was completely obscured, Xiao Han had an illusion at this moment, as if he was facing a desolate beast, as if he would pounce on him and crush him in the next moment!

"It's spectacular!"

"Yoyo ......"

As soon as Xiao Han finished sighing, a strange movement came from the shadows, Xiao Han looked for the sound, and was immediately happy, it turned out to be a white hoof, black in the shadows, and he didn't even notice it just now.

"Xiaobai? Why doesn't anyone care about you? ”

Whitehoof's huge head twisted, rolled his eyes very humanely, and continued to sleep, it still remembered that it was this bastard, forcing him to wear shoes, causing it to perform for a long time Golden Rooster independence.........

The old eunuch was in front of Xiao Han, looking at Xiao Han with a smile, secretly thinking in his heart, he originally thought that this kid had taken shit luck to see the sky, but now he looks at it, but he is so familiar with King Qin's beloved horse, it seems that the relationship with King Qin must not be shallow, and sure enough, people can't look good......

The old eunuch's gaze looked at Xiao Han with goosebumps again, and he touched a nose of ash here in Baihuo, and hurriedly arched his hand: "Okay, okay, I've rested enough, keep walking..."

But it turned out that Xiao Han's legs were weak when he walked through the square just now, so he stopped here and looked at the Daxing Palace.........

The old eunuch is also an interesting person, and said with a smile: "It's okay, our family is also used to walking this way, Xiao Xiaoge came here for the first time, and it is normal not to get used to it, but he is about to climb the steps, this step is too high, he must go up in one go, if he stops halfway, it will greatly delay the time......"

Xiao Han looked up at the white marble steps that turned like a white dragon, and swallowed deeply, "Thank you for your advice, let's go, let's go......"

The old eunuch gave a slight salute, led the way in front of his head, Xiao Han followed closely behind, and after climbing a few steps, Xiao Han understood why the old eunuch would deliberately instruct.........

"Why is the emperor willing to build his house so big, so high, good guy, it takes half an hour to climb, and there is no elevator, it is really a chance for others to slip their legs! I don't know which stupid designed steps, not tall or short, one step of sissy, two steps of bullshit, it's fucking enough! ”

But scolding and scolding, you have to climb it...... When he climbed the steps after all the hard work, Xiao Han felt that his legs were no longer his own, and his trembling tremors said the current situation! I didn't eat lunch in the afternoon, and I climbed along the way, and my stomach had already rebelled, I thought it was like Lao Mouzi, the city was full of big wave girls, and it was okay to have a beautiful meal.

Who knows if this big wave girl is Lao Mouzi lying in the quilt and drooling to come up with it, except for the eunuchs and guards who come and go, the rest are all Rong Mama! scared Xiao Han's little heart, plopping ......

As soon as he came to the gate of the huge hall, Xiao Han sat on the ground with his butt suspended, but before he could catch his breath, the old man next to him suddenly shouted in a sharp voice, the voice was completely different from what he had just spoken, sharp and sharp, and Xiao Han's ears on the side of the sting hurt!

"Your Majesty, Xiao Han, meet !!"

"Xuan..."

There was a somewhat familiar response from the empty hall, Xiao Han stood at the door, not knowing how to meet him, and the old man next to him gently pushed behind him.

Xiao Han, who was unsteady on his feet, immediately stumbled into the hall, almost hitting his head on a pillar of thickness.

"Grass people, micro ministers, uh... Meet my emperor......" Xiao Han, who was shocked, hurriedly stood up, and when he was so nervous, he forgot the words he had specially asked the old eunuch for advice on the road.

"Xiao Qing doesn't have to be formal..."

A rather majestic voice came from directly in front of Xiao Han, Xiao Han secretly looked up, in the spacious hall, a thin middle-aged and elderly man sat on the dragon chair, next to him, Xiao Lizi gave him a reassuring look.

Xiao Han looked at Li Yuan, Li Yuan was also looking at Xiao Han, the young man in front of him was about fifteen or sixteen years old, he looked ordinary, and he didn't know what he was doing before he came, the cloth clothes on his body were all dust, and the only thing that stood out was that his eyes were very bright and looked very clear.

"Hahaha...... Although Wen Xiaoqing is young, he has a lot of insight into the way of nature, and he can be described as selfless with his advice and army, but for the Qing family, I can't treat you badly, and I specially named you as the seventh-grade military superintendent, plus a baron, a county in the same city, and a thousand households! Fiefdom, well, let King Qin choose a county for you! ”

Li Yuan really deserves to be the founder of the country, and he knows that the reward for someone of Xiao Han's age is the most affordable! Before Xiao Han could react, a series of rewards made Xiao Han dizzy, and he almost sat down on the spot and broke his fingers to calculate how many levels he had been promoted, and the last baron directly made his head crash!

"Knighthood? Lao Tzu is also a lord? Isn't this a big landlord? Wowha......"

"Xiao Han, thank you......" Looking at Xiao Han with a hopeless look, Xiao Lizi whispered helplessly.

"Oh... Wechen thank the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

“……”

After reminding Xiao Han in a whisper, Xiao Lizi rolled his eyes and patted his head with his hand, why had he never seen him so good at slapping sycophants before?

And Li Yuan also looked at Xiao Han who fell to the ground in amazement, he had never received such a naked fart, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while, but it sounded quite pleasant.

"Hahahaha... Xiao Qing's family is really good at complimenting the widow, and it's not too early to see the sky, give an order, and set up a banquet! The widow wants to drink with the people of the world and Xiao Qing's family today......"

"Long live Emperor Xie Wu!!"

"I've never seen such a brazen person!"

This is what Li Shimin said later, and Xiao Han is already beautiful now, so he will eat with the emperor? Ahem... By the way, if you don't learn this etiquette, if you eat the wrong dish, will you cut off your head......

I don't know if they will cut off their heads, but when they move to the side hall, Xiao Han can be regarded as a big disappointment, with a low "coffee table", thin futons, cabbage boiled in clear water, and boiled meat in clear water......

This emperor is too miserable, he can't even eat as well as ordinary people in later generations! But fortunately, there is wine, and it is a grape brew from the Western Regions, this thing is very afraid of shaking, it is easy to sour when it shakes, thousands of miles of travel, I don't know how to transport it, take it up and take a sip, the taste is sweet and sour, just like grape juice, it is delicious!

I didn't expect that the imperial banquet was so simple, after the little eunuch brought the food of the three people, he could eat it, without praying to heaven and earth, without silver needles pricking poison, just like eating at home, pick up chopsticks and start eating.

Seeing that Li Shimin and Li Yuan began to eat slowly, Xiao Han naturally would not be polite, a mouthful of grape stuff, a mouthful of meat, and a big meal when he threw off his arms, and he didn't ask for the taste, just to fill his stomach!

Such a bold style made Li Shimin at the table next to him a little dumbfounded, people are all careful when eating imperial banquets, just take a bite of everything, never like Xiao Han, so don't treat yourself as an outsider!

"Xiao Qing's family, good amount of wine!" Li Yuan saw Xiao Han drinking water and drinking, his eyes were a little straight, and Li Shimin next to him quickly stopped his chopsticks, leaned over and explained to Li Yuan that Xiao Han put down a few heroes in the army by himself, and his brother-in-law was so drunk that his brother-in-law crawled all over the ground, and Li Yuan was speechless for a while, this kid has been soaked in the wine vat since he was a child!

Xiao Han had just eaten halfway through the meal, and Li Yuan was already full, but he saw that Xiao Han was still adding to his mouth, and he didn't put down his chopsticks, so he drank and chatted slowly with Li Shimin and waited for him.

It was getting dark, and an attendant came in with a lantern to light the candles in the hall, Xiao Han tried to pour the last drop of grape into his mouth, then wiped his mouth, and secretly looked at Li Yuan's father and son drinking and whispering over there, the two of them were calm as if they were not sitting here as the emperor and prince, but as if they were a family of old money underground.

"This is the emperor!" Xiao Han sighed, before, he always felt that the emperor was a strange creature, a deified thing, but when he suddenly saw it today, he was just a normal person.

Xiao Han was looking down and thinking, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, the pace was steady, and the sound was very different, which was completely different from the sound of the attendant's light walking, Xiao Han heard the sound getting closer and closer, and he didn't care that he was holding a large piece of meat of an unknown animal in his mouth, and turned his head to look back.

Outside the gate of the hall, a young man with a graceful demeanor and gorgeous clothes was walking slowly!

When the young man entered the hall, he first glanced at the few people seated, and then shook his sleeves and folded his hands, his movements were elegant and handsome, as if he had practiced countless times, and even his smile was so harmonious.

"Son, meet your father, your father is healthy..."

"Oh, it's here... Have you eaten? Let the Imperial Chef make another one and eat it together! ”

Li Yuan raised his head and greeted the new man with a smile, because his wife left early, Li Yuan loved his sons very much, and he didn't have the perverted concept of no father and son and only monarchs and ministers in the Qing Palace, but he was very kind like an ordinary person's family.

"This is, Li Jiancheng?" Xiao Han's heart moved, and he swallowed the meat in his mouth with great effort, not knowing whether he should stand up and salute the aggrieved prince.

"Back to my father, I have eaten it, and I just heard from Liu Neishou that the second brother came back from the military camp, and he came over to talk about it."

"It's for my brother to be abrupt, I should have gone to see my eldest brother, but I didn't expect my eldest brother to come to see me first, it's too rude..."

"Hahaha, you and I are brothers, why bother with these foreign gifts? The second brother fights for the country, and the eldest brother hates to go to the battlefield to fight side by side with you! I didn't think about it, but my eldest brother was always uneasy......"

"Big brother is serious, with your dedication to assisting my father, I can rest assured that I will fight in all directions!"

Xiao Han sat below, looking at the two brothers and friends in front of him, he couldn't turn around for a while, shouldn't these two fight each other as soon as they meet? Is it pretending? But it's all too true!

"You brothers haven't seen each other for a while, so come and sit down together and tell the story!" Li Yuan saw that the two of them were so respectful, and his heart was also very comfortable, the two sons, one literary and one martial, are both dragons and phoenixes among people, if they can help each other so much in the future, then he can be regarded as a successor to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Jiancheng sat down, Xiao Han was still wondering which play he was playing, but he inadvertently felt that Li Jiancheng glanced at him, and when he went to watch it again, he found that he was talking to Li Shimin and the others hotly, as if it was his illusion just now.

"Xiao Han, what's wrong?" Li Shimin saw Xiao Han's puzzled gaze, and couldn't help asking.

"Oh, nothing, I'm full, that, I'll go back first?" Xiao Han subconsciously felt that something was vaguely wrong, and he had to leave first after cleaning up the mess in front of him, if you two brothers fight, I can't afford to mess with it......

"You, it's Xiao Han?"

Just when Xiao Han wanted to withdraw first, Li Jiancheng, who was originally smiling and talking, suddenly spoke out at this juncture and looked him up and down.

Seeing this, Li Yuan was immediately a little puzzled, "Why, you also know Xiao Qing after completion?" ”

Li Jiancheng chuckled: "I've never seen it, but I've heard of it..."

When Xiao Han saw such a scene, he secretly sighed in his heart that he was unlucky, and he couldn't pretend to be an ostrich here, so he had to get up and salute Li Jiancheng: "Xiao Han has seen His Royal Highness the Prince......

"Excuse me, excuse me!" Li Jiancheng looks not quite the same as recorded in history, he has been smiling since he came in, and he looks approachable.

"I also heard from the Imperial Physician of the Imperial Physician's Department that Mr. Hu mentioned you."

"Mr. Hu?" Xiao Han thought only for a moment, and then he understood that the old man who was arguing with him turned out to be surnamed Hu, and he was so busy that he was about to forget about it, why was it suddenly mentioned by the prince again?
