Xiao Peng and his entourage spent a week, rushed from Suzhou to Bianliang, entered the city gate, Xiao Peng with his hands behind his back, strolling, the streets are lined with shops, the twilight sunset, faintly sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles, to the prosperous Bianliang cityscape in front of him, adding a bit of hazy and poetic.
In front of and behind him are unfamiliar faces that are either long, elegant, fresh, or sophisticated, the carriages and horses are sparkling, the flow of people is like weaving, and there is a penetrating shout of the vendors not far away, and occasionally there is a long neighing of horses, Xiao Peng feels as if he is in a colorful and rich picture.
"Xiao Lang, this Bianliang City is so lively! It's the first time I've come to the capital! Have you been here before?" Ah Zhu turned around with a pair of big eyes, looked around, and casually asked Xiao Peng beside him.
"Hehe, a few years ago, I walked the world, and this capital has naturally been here. Xiao Peng looked at Azhu's fresh expression, shook his head with a smile, and said: "Let's accompany Xu'er back to the palace first! After finishing the business, I will accompany you for my husband to play, hehe, don't look at Xu'er grew up in this city since he was a child, he is probably familiar with the one acre and three points of land in the imperial city, and when it comes to understanding Bianliang City, I'm afraid he is not as good as me!"
"Hmm!" Azhu nodded happily, his eyes narrowed into a crescent moon.
Zhao Xu, who was walking on Xiao Peng's left side, said with a bitter smile: "Shizun said very much, from childhood to adulthood, every word and deed has been controlled by others, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at everywhere you go, there is no freedom at all, how can you have the opportunity to come out and play......"
Xiao Peng stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, comforting: "It will be fine in the future, when your career is on the right track in the future, you can go out of the palace at any time to 'Weifu Private Interview', maybe, future generations will write a "Son of Heaven Weifu Private Interview" according to your experience! Hahahaha......"
Zhao Xu's eyes lit up and nodded excitedly.
To the south of the imperial city, Zhao Xu took Xiao Peng and others straight to Xuande Gate, and without surprise, they were stopped by the forbidden army.
"Who is coming? The palace is important, you must not trespass, and leave quickly. "A small colonel of the forbidden army, it is naturally impossible to see the emperor at close range, but when he saw that the person who came was richly dressed and his movements were extravagant, and the old man behind him was obviously a role like an internal servant, so he didn't dare to directly draw a knife to kill people, but shouted according to the convention.
Zhao Xu and Cao Mowen ignored the forbidden army's drinking, and walked straight to the small colonel who spoke, Cao Mowen took out a gold medal from his arms and lit it up to the little school, when he saw the words on the gold medal, the little school was frightened, and quickly knelt on the ground, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Seeing this, the other officers and soldiers around also knelt down.
The gold medal is engraved with a order on one side, and the other side is engraved with the four big characters "If I am here".
"Get up!" Cao Mo asked lightly, "These are the people the Empress Dowager wants to see, and the miscellaneous family wants to take them to Chongqing Palace, get out of the way!"
"Yes, father-in-law, please. The little colonel didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly got out of the way, and let Cao Mo ask and others to enter the palace.
Cao Mowen is holding the legendary royal gold medal in his hand, seeing the gold medal is like seeing the emperor, and Cao Mowen's image and voice are obviously the people in the big house, and then looking at his age and momentum, he must be a close person to the emperor or the queen mother, how dare he stay in trouble as a small forbidden army colonel guarding the door.
This is also what Xiao Peng meant, after all, if Zhao Xu reveals his identity, the forbidden army guarding the door will inevitably need to enter the palace to report, ask someone from the palace to confirm his identity, and after confirming his identity, it must be a complicated etiquette, in Xiao Peng's opinion, it is simply a waste of time, so after discussing with Cao Mowen, he simply did not show his identity and went in to talk about it.
Entering the palace, Zhao Xu took Xiao Peng and his wife directly to his dormitory Funing Palace, he also needed to go back to change his clothes before he could go to Chongqing Palace to see the Empress Dowager.
It wasn't until he was about to approach Funing Palace that he finally met the attendant who knew Zhao Xu, who paid a big salute and waited for Zhao Xu and his party to leave, and immediately got up and ran to Chongqing Hall with a smoke.
Speaking of which, Xiao Peng has experienced so many reincarnations, and this is the first time he has entered the palace, but his perspective is different from ordinary people, just with a hint of freshness, but he does not have the slightest awe of this palace.
Ah Zhu is also in a similar state, since Xiao Peng told her to let her face this world with the mentality of playing Hongchen with mortals, she has less awe of this world, and she can treat it with a normal heart in any environment.
At this time, she just looked around curiously, and asked Zhao Xu some questions from time to time, and Zhao Xu was very patient to answer them one by one.
When Zhao Xu returned to Funing Palace, causing the palace maids in Funing Palace to jump for a while, the atmosphere in the back pavilion of Chongqing Palace was solemn.
The Empress Dowager Gao leaned on the brocade couch, her face was pale, her eyes were slightly narrowed, her breathing was slightly short, and several imperial doctors with gray hair and beards were gathered together outside the curtain of the back cabinet, muttering something in a low voice, just looking at their faces, they seemed to be a little bad.
"A few of you, have you come up with any results from the discussion? Is it impossible to cure the disease of the mourning family?" The Empress Dowager's old and majestic voice suddenly sounded, making several imperial doctors tremble.
The imperial doctors each looked at each other, opened the curtain of the door together, bowed down and walked in, and one of the oldest looking imperial doctors spoke: "The Empress Dowager, your illness is really caused by too much thinking and mental exhaustion, if you want to completely cure this disease, the Empress Dowager must recuperate quietly, and you must think more, otherwise your mental strength will be exhausted, and the condition will inevitably worsen, and it will be more difficult to treat at that time.
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she sighed deeply, "Alas...... How can the mourning family be willing to think more, but the emperor is young, and there is no more to do, and someone has to take care of this huge country, right? Alas...... As the emperor, he is so capricious, what kind of private interview does he say, I think ......"
"The Empress Dowager Qi, someone from the Funing Palace came to report that the emperor came back, and brought back a couple and an old man, but the old man seemed to be an old man in the palace. At this time, the voice of the deacon and eunuch suddenly came from outside the cabinet.
"What?" The Empress Dowager's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened, a flash of anger, and her breathing couldn't help but become a little more rapid, and several imperial doctors were silent when they saw this, and they didn't say a word.
The Empress Dowager naturally knew who the old man was, and she was also one of the few people who knew the existence of Cao Mowen, so she slowly waved her hand to the imperial doctors at the moment, and said a little weakly: "You guys go down first! ”
"Yui. The deacon and eunuch answered, and hurried out of the temple.
Funing Palace, Zhao Xu changed into a dragon robe under the service of the palace maid and eunuch, painted the "Son of Heaven Makeup", and sat with Xiao Peng for a while, saying that he sat with Xiao Peng for a while, in fact, Xiao Peng understood that Zhao Xu was just an ordinary person's physique, and he drove for most of the day, and walked back to the palace for so long, let him take a break, their martial arts are not weak, and they are not comparable to Zhao Xu.
After the palace maids served the tribute tea, Zhao Xu waved away the palace maids and invited Xiao Peng and A Zhu to sit in the main seat, while he sat in the second seat, and Cao Mowen stood behind Zhao Xu.
"Xu'er, I didn't see it, after you put on a dragon robe, you look very powerful!" Ah Zhu looked Zhao Xu up and down with interest, which made Zhao Xu a little embarrassed, speaking of which, Ah Zhu is actually only one year older than Zhao Xu, and the two belong to the same age, so when facing Ah Zhu, Zhao Xu often feels a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Peng doesn't look much older than Zhao Xu, but he can do it very naturally when facing Xiao Peng, and his respect for Xiao Peng is also from the heart, which makes Zhao Xu himself a little strange.
"Your Majesty, Chongqing Palace Mi Gonggong has something to report. ”
When Zhao Xu heard this, he said casually: "Pass." ”
After a while, a big eunuch in his thirties, with a proud demeanor walking into the back cabinet with a dustwhisk in his hand, said in a sharp voice: "At the behest of the Empress Dowager, please ...... Huh? Who are you? In front of the emperor, you dare to sit on the throne? It is simply unreasonable. ”
When the big eunuch known as Mi Gonggong saw Zhao Xu, he didn't salute, he held his head high and was about to announce the decree, and when he saw that it was not the emperor who was sitting on the throne, but a young man in a moon-white robe and a beautiful young woman in a red shirt, he was immediately furious, pointing at Xiao Peng and A Zhu and shouting, and his thin voice couldn't help but be a little sharper.
