Chapter 67: Xuanlu Bu enters the hall
At that time, Luoyang City was still in a dark situation, and while the people were sleeping soundly, there were countless lights on the road leading to the southern Yuhe Road, which were connected together like long stars. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Yuhe Road is two miles long, three zhang wide, and when hundreds of officials enter the court, they all have to stop the sedan chair here to walk, in order to show respect for the Son of Heaven.
In the daytime, there are few people on this road, but there are quite a lot of people at the moment, walking back and forth, meeting acquaintances can also go up to say a few words, if you meet political disagreement and long-standing grievances of political enemies, then raise your head and snort, thinking disdain.
Lu Bu took off his usual linen clothes and linen pants today, covered his top with a feather crown, built a white plain robe, and put on a slightly wide red military attache court uniform on the outside, and tied it around his waist with a three-finger-wide brocade belt, which was completely different from the bravery of the battlefield when he was fighting. If Lu Bu, who is wearing armor and holding a halberd, is a fierce beast that no one can stop, then at this moment, he is two points more elegant, giving people a feeling of heroic spirit.
From the Xuanguan to the Yuhe Road, there is a small distance of half an hour, Fengchang Zhang Yuan carries a lantern to illuminate, today is the day when Lu Bu enters the court, he naturally wants to lead the way for Lu Bu.
When we arrived at the Owado, there were hundreds of chariots parked on both sides of this extremely wide road, and the servants and horsemen of the various provinces were standing in place to rest, and it was obvious that these people were not qualified to set foot in the Miwa Road.
The palace lamps on both sides of the road are hung high, illuminating the royal road extremely brightly, and every six steps there is a halberd guard, standing upright, from their unsmiling expressions, it can be seen that these people are definitely the elite existence of the army.
Lu Bu walked on the right side of Zhang Yuan's side, speechless all the way, he clearly remembered Zhang Zhong's advice in his heart, talk less and make fewer mistakes, Luoyang is not as good as other places, if you are not careful, you will be framed by others, and there will be no place to bury you.
On the contrary, Zhang Yuan, his mouth never stopped along the way, every time someone passed by him, he humbly shouted 'Hello adult' with his body half-bowed, and every time he maintained a humble smile, every time he tried to pull his body lower. However, despite this, there is still no one to pay attention to him, and he doesn't even owe a straight eye, who will put a Feng Chang in his eyes? Somebody, on the other hand, would occasionally glance at the unfamiliar face beside him, and only glance at him curiously.
In the face of the cold eyes and indifference of these people, Zhang Yuan also had to nod and respond with a smile on his face, no matter which of these people he had, a slight movement of his fingers could make him die thousands of times.
He can't afford to offend.
To put it nicely, he is Zhang Rang's pawn, and if he says it ugly, Zhang Rang will treat him as a dog, or a wild dog that can be thrown away at any time.
"When I climb to a higher position than you in the future, I must make you kneel down in front of me one by one, kowtow and admit your mistakes!"
Zhang Yuan still had a smile on his face, and no one could see the waves of anger in his heart.
Although the young man beside him was only a lieutenant of the Side Sai, and he was a lowly lord, he was able to be summoned by the Son of Heaven for the first time. In case he is valued by the Son of Heaven, it may not be impossible to soar from now on, so it is better for me to have a good relationship with him for the time being, and even if Zhang Rang falls, there will be a place for me to stay.
Zhang Yuan was taken aback by this sudden idea, now Zhang Rang is powerful and powerful, and he is deeply favored by the Son of Heaven, and the wealthy family has been fighting with Zhang Rang for so many years, but as a result, he was almost killed by Zhang Rang, how could he fall casually.
What's even more ridiculous is that he would actually think of defecting to a Biansai lieutenant who has no family background and is not in the stream, which is really ridiculous.
However, at this moment, Lu Bu suddenly stopped, and beside the road in front of him, there were two behemoths, a hundred feet high, and the coercion they exuded made Lu Bu's heart a little breathless.
Zhang Yuan followed Lu Bu's gaze, he didn't understand why Lu Bu's face was solemn and stopped, so he explained: "General Lu, this is the palace, there is a pair of north and south palaces, looking at each other from a distance, connected by a roof, it looks like a gate from a distance, so it is also called a gate, specially for His Majesty the Emperor to climb and look down." This road is called 'Fei Feng Que', the north palace is called 'Canglong Que', the two palaces are connected by a double road, through this Fei Feng Que, they will arrive at the palace gate of the South Palace. β
Lu Bu nodded without a trace, but he was shocked in his heart, he had never seen such a majestic building, and he could clearly feel the brilliant heavenly majesty mixed in it, solemn and solemn, and there was a bloody aura floating in the air that could not be concealed.
After Feifengque, Zhang Yuan led Lu Bu to a dark brown eunuch, made a simple handover, and left here.
Although his eyes were full of yearning and reluctance, he was just a Fengchang after all, nothing more.
After Zhang Yuan left, Lu Bu glanced around, the number of officials who had arrived here was only thirty or forty, and it was estimated that it was still early to enter the court, and the others should still be on the way.
These officials of the early dynasty gathered together in threes, fives, and fives, and talked in low voices.
Lu Bu didn't have the heart to deal with these people, so he stood alone beside the middle-aged eunuch, squinting his eyes to recuperate.
"Presumably this is General Lu Bulu."
Hearing the voice, Lu Bu opened a slit, and at some point stood in front of him a gentle old man in an ink-colored court robe, with a jade belt around his waist and a pheasant embroidered on the court robe.
Lu Bu clearly remembered that the pheasant had another name, called 'Hua Worm'. In addition to the Son of Heaven, there are only three princes among the civil officials who can embroider this crest, and this drooping old man with white hair and unattractive appearance in front of him will be one of the three princes.
Without waiting for Lu Bu to reply, the middle-aged eunuch bowed to the old man, and said with a smile on his face: "Why didn't the old man take a sedan chair today, Your Majesty has authorized the old man to take a sedan chair to the door of this dynasty."
The old man turned his hand and slapped his back, and replied with a smile: "I'm afraid that my old bones won't have two years to live, so it's good to walk around while I can still go to the ground." β
The middle-aged eunuch waved his hand again and again when he heard this, and became relieved: "Boss, your body is tough, even if you live for another thirty or forty years, it will not be a problem." β
"Then thank you for your good words."
After the old man finished saying this with a smile, he turned his gaze back to Lu Bu.
"What is the boss looking for?"
Lu Bu didn't know the old man with a distinguished status in front of him, so he asked. The only thing he can be sure of is that the old man in front of him is not here to take the initiative to make trouble, if he wants to find trouble, will the dignified Three Guilds personally find him an unruly Captain Biansai?
Apparently not.
When the eunuch surnamed Zeng saw Lu Bu's tepid expression, he secretly scolded in his heart, 'stupid', when the imperial lieutenant can take the initiative to take care of you, don't you hurry up and seize the opportunity, but put on such a cold attitude, if you are someone else, I am afraid that you will be happy to heaven a long time ago.
Yang Ci is used to seeing other people's sycophants on weekdays, but now Lu Bu's performance makes him a little novel, but he doesn't take it to heart, looks at Lu Bu and says: "There will be a while before the door will be opened, accompany me as an old thing?" β
"The boss has a life, how dare the cloth disobey." Lu Bu nodded in response.
Under the leadership of Yang Ci, the two of them moved their steps on this royal road and walked slowly again.
And the officials who came from the other end of the early dynasty, whenever they saw this old man who was over the age of six, they would stop and take the initiative to salute and say hello, and by the way, they would also glance at Lu Bu, wondering what the identity of this young man was, and he could actually walk beside Lord Taiwei.
The old man has his hands behind his back, his back is slightly hunched, and his face has always been smiling.
"Is the general wondering why I took the initiative to find you?" Yang Ci first asked, and then asked and answered himself: "Old Yang Ci, in other words, Yang Ting, who was injured by you, is the grandson of the old man." β
When Lu Bu heard this, he paused for a moment, and then followed again, his mind was running at high speed, but he couldn't figure out the old man's true thoughts even if he let him think about it.
"Lu Bu is just a Saiwufu, and he can't be called the 'general' of the boss, just call me Lu Bu or Lu Fengxian." Lu Bu finally decided that the soldiers would block the water and cover the earth, take a step, and look at a step.
The old man who had lived in the temple for a long time glanced sideways at Lu Bu, nodded and said, "Then the old man will call you to Fengxian." β
"My grandson is used to being domineering on weekdays, relying on a little fist and foot kung fu, and he is idle all day long, and others will turn a blind eye to the thin face of the old and decayed. Lao Yu understands that if he continues like this, once I return to the west, he will bring disaster to my Yang family sooner or later. So the old man has a reluctant request, when you return to Bingzhou, can you take my grandson with you and let him go to the frontier to the border, and I hope he can wake up as soon as possible. β
Yang Ci's words caught Lu Bu unexpectedly, he thought that Yang Ci was here to ask for an explanation for his grandson, but he didn't think that he would take Yang Ting to the remote northern state.
Yesterday was ambushed at the mouth of the alley, and now Yang Ci, one of the three princes, is going to entrust his grandson to him, you must know that the most likely person behind yesterday's ambush is Yang Ting.
Faced with this thorny question, Lu Bu had no choice but to say: "Lord Taiwei, you should know that fighting a war is not a joke, if you are not careful, you will die in Jiuquan, and life and death will be separated. β
Yang Ci moved his steps, and his tone was a little sad: "The old man knows in his heart, if Ting'er really dies on the battlefield, he will be loyal to the country, and I will never blame you." β
In the entire Yang family, the person who loves Yang Ting the most is the old man in front of him.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Bu decided to agree. Although Yang Ci's words are so, if Yang Ting really has a good situation on the battlefield, the Yang family will never give up easily.
On the bright side, once Yang Ting followed Lu Bu back to Bingzhou, with such an evil god by his side, with the Yang family's relationship power, the chances of winning against the Zheng family in the future will at least double that of the situation.
"Boss, there is still a question that I don't understand, and I ask the boss to solve my doubts." Lu Bu looked at this voice that had experienced the vicissitudes of life, and asked again, "There are not a few of your protΓ©gΓ©s and old officials, why would you choose me as a person who is not related and unfamiliar?" β
Yang Ci stopped walking, patted his head, turned around and walked quickly, and kept muttering: "Oops~ Look at my memory, it's going to be early, Fengxian, keep up with ......"
Lu Bu was stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, this old man's ability to change the topic was inevitably too blunt.
However, Lu Bu did not dismantle it, and then turned around.
At three o'clock, the door opened, and hundreds of officials lined up in three columns and entered in turn.
After entering the Chaolin Gate, he had already stepped into the palace, and Lu Bu followed the middle-aged eunuch surnamed Zeng and walked at the end of the hundred officials.
Along the way, Lu Bu did not forget to peek left and right at the surrounding environment, his steps were extremely light, and this place was full of mysterious atmosphere.
The next time he enters here, Lu Bu doesn't know what year or month it will be, and it is possible that there will be no hope in this life.
The palace was huge, too big for him to know, and it was difficult for Lu Bu to describe it in the words he knew. Not to mention the strict access control, the terrain is also extremely complicated, the palace maids and guards patrolling everywhere, and the palaces are even more mountainous, magnificent.
If it weren't for this middle-aged eunuch to lead the way, he would definitely be lost.
When he walked outside a temple, the eunuch surnamed Zeng asked Lu Bu to stop in the middle of the stone staircase.
The civil and military officials in the court clothes with clear ink walked up the stone steps, and outside the vermilion lacquer gate of the palace, they unloaded their swords and took off their boots, and then bowed slightly one by one and walked in.
Lu Bu glanced up at the name of the plaque on this temple, Chongde Hall.
After standing here for about a quarter of an hour, Lu Bu heard a sharp voice piercing the sky from the hall.
Then, the eunuch standing at the door of the main hall also shouted: "Xuan~Lu Bu enters the hall~"
The middle-aged eunuch beside him touched Lu Bu's arm and whispered, "Go in, Your Majesty has summoned you." β
Lu Bu stepped forward and stepped on the stone staircase step by step, his entire chest was filled with a sense of nervous and excited urgency, every time he stepped on the first step, this feeling would become stronger and stronger, so that when he stepped on the highest stone staircase, the whole person trembled slightly.
He knew that the man he was about to face was the Son of Heaven, the king of the entire Great Han.
Walking to the vermilion lacquer gate, Lu Bu, whose muscles had been tense to the point of stiffness, slowly took off his shoes, and after taking a sharp breath, he suddenly straightened up and walked forward with his head held high, fifteen years earlier than when Zhang Zhong entered the Chongde Palace.
