Author: Beginning of Summer Rebirth

On the small mahogany table in the bed cabin, there were three plates of side dishes and two pots for cooking knives.

"My surname is Wang, Wang Tian, ​​from Yanzhou. My father is the Marquis of Jiyang, and I have the title of Minister of the Ministry of Rites. I have been practicing martial arts in my hometown, and I have a good talent. I am only twenty-three years old, and I am already in the realm of a young venerable. I plan to enter Taiping through connections at the end of the year.

Gong Xiuxian, I came a little early this time because there are big things going on in the capital..."

The young master introduced himself, smiled proudly, and then asked: "I don't know, brother?"

"I am the same age as you!" Xin Zhuo said: "Xin Zhuo, also go to the imperial capital..."

"Ha, we are the same age and travel together, you and I are really destined!"

Wang Tian was good at talking, and before Xin Zhuo could finish speaking, he took over the topic, "I see you are wearing ordinary clothes. Are you afraid that you are a commoner? Andu is not something you can just break into. How many people go there with dreams, but leave in poverty.

It is common for someone to die accidentally..."

At this point, he seemed to have remembered something, and his face changed: "Ah? What did you just say your name was?"

"Xin Zhuo!"

"you……"

Wang Tian trembled and said angrily: "Brother, you can't make this joke. Do you know who this name is?"

Holding his fists to the sky, he said with great respect, "Your Majesty the Emperor, who in the world doesn't know the old name of the emperor's false father? How many years has it passed since the glory of the millions of Qin troops? Whenever the emperor worships his ancestors, this is the first thing he worships.

I don’t know if the emperor is still alive or not! You are too courageous."

Xin Zhuo smiled: "Then you...scream whatever you want?"

"Let me call you Brother Xin." Wang Tian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and complained: "You kid has no sense of awe. You don't know how deep the water in this court is. Even the noble Marquis doesn't dare to make mistakes at will. What you just mentioned

That name is kept secret even by the four major sects, let alone the imperial court. Back then, the emperor killed all the top masters of the four major sects in one fell swoop. What kind of grace was that?"

"However, I heard that the Queen smashed the statue of the Emperor a few days ago, and the Emperor held the statue and cried for three days. The Prime Minister is also preparing to deprive the Emperor of his throne these days. It is not right to say that the Emperor's name is unfair..."

A maid behind him whispered.

"Shut up!"

Wang Tian scolded her coldly, and the frightened maid immediately knelt on the ground. Then she forced out a smile and said to Xin Zhuo: "Little girl doesn't understand the rules. Who can tell clearly about this court matter?"

Xin Zhuo nodded: "It makes sense, so whose surname is the prime minister? Who is the queen?"

"If you want to ask these questions, I'm going to talk to you..."

The two of them were bored and chatted while eating. Through the chat, Xin Zhuo figured out the current situation in Andu——

The young emperor is still Ji Yu. The emperor's biological mother, the Empress Dowager, is gone, and no one even knows who the empress dowager is? And the empress dowager, Mo Shi, is now seriously ill, and the orphans and widowed ancestors are very pitiful.

The affairs of the government were overseen by Prime Minister Li Shentong. This Li Shentong came from nowhere. In two years, he used various means to rise through the ranks and directly served as the Prime Minister.

Under him, Su Wuji, the king of Nanli in the Dazhu Kingdom, Ning Lingbo and Ling Xuwei, the Duke of Ning, Liu Guangshi, Li Wanchuan, General Mo Zongze and others assisted.

The then Prime Minister Feng Sihu is no longer here, and no one knows about him.

However, the young emperor married a daughter-in-law. This girl was fifteen years old. She was the niece of Prime Minister Li Shentong. Her surname was Wei and her given name was Qingqing. It was said that she had the beauty to captivate the city and the country!

Xin Zhuo felt that the chaos in the Great Zhou Dynasty should be confirmed by the Prime Minister and the Queen.

It was only a two-day journey across a waterway of four to five hundred miles. At noon on the second day, the ship suddenly stopped.

Wang Tian stretched his waist and said: "There are still sixty miles to reach Andu. In order to celebrate the Prime Minister's birthday, the rivers in front have been gathered into Qianhe Villa, which is the Prime Minister's private land. Let's go on land. My family's

The carriage is already waiting, will Brother Xin come with me?"

Xin Zhuo glanced at the end of the river and said, "If this is the case, it's too much trouble!"

"No problem!"

The two took the maid and Xiao Huang off the boat and walked for three to five miles. A luxurious car was waiting in front of them, guarded by twenty well-dressed guards.

"Brother Xin has never ridden in this four-horse Xuanyun carriage, has he?"

Wang Tian turned around and smiled proudly.

"No!"

Xin Zhuo nodded. Except for the flatbed car he rode when he was in the world, he had never ridden in such a bad carriage. In the Jiang family, I rode a seven-horse carriage, and later changed to a nine-horse Emperor Luan Jia. In the Xuantian Sword Sect, I rode the demon wolf flying customized by Mo Palace.

The winged carriage is a masterpiece that travels thousands of miles a day.

"Hahaha, come on, let me try to drive this Marquis car!"

Wang Tian pulled Xin Zhuo onto the carriage and said with a smile: "The capital is very lively today, it's a big day!"

As he spoke, he kept urging the groom: "We must arrive at the Imperial Capital at noon, otherwise you are the only one asking, hurry up!"

"drive……"

The carriage roared towards the official road.

Wang Tian leisurely picked up the tribute purple grapes on the table and ate one, then said: "Brother Xin, do you know what a big day it is in the Imperial Capital today?"

Xin Zhuo looked around carefully, looking for traces of his visit that year, and casually said: "I don't know!"

"The Emperor's birthday!" Wang Tiandao said, "We have had good weather in the Zhou Dynasty in the past two years. The wars against the Song Dynasty and the Jing Kingdom have been victorious. It coincides with the Emperor's birthday. Basically, all the officials and dignitaries in the world have arrived today!

"

Xin Zhuo finally looked at him in surprise: "Emperor Gui Geng?"

Wang Tian was startled for a moment: "Seven years old. When my son is seven years old, he will go to Huangwei. He will have a banquet when he is ten years old and celebrate his twenty-year-old crown. The emperor is seven years old, and the ministers are the princes. They can only be described as a big birthday!

"

"This kid knows how to play!"

Xin Zhuo thought of the pitiful child holding his thigh.

"Ah you..." Wang Tian's face turned pale with fright, "Why are you so unruly? I'm not afraid of killing you..."

Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by the sound of horse hooves outside, and someone yelled rudely: "The Crown Prince of Zhao is riding high/The Crown Prince Heng is riding high, please get out of the way!"

"Let! Let! Let it go!"

Wang Tian's expression changed again, and he hurriedly signaled to the coachman and guards to retreat.

When the carriage stopped at the roadside, he breathed a sigh of relief. He opened the curtain and looked outside. He saw only the land of Gyeonggi. It was very prosperous along the way. On the spacious street, pedestrians, carriages and horses were retreating to both sides. Hundreds of gold-armored guards were in the middle.

Two seven-horse carriages passed by slowly. The two vehicles were fighting each other, smashing fruits, vegetables and children's toys all over the ground along the way, causing the adults to cry and the children to fuss...

At this moment, the curtains of the two carriages were blown up by the wind, revealing the people inside, a young man in royal robes holding a girl and smiling lewdly, and a philistine son counting gold and silver treasures...

This is nothing more than arrogant and extravagant!

Looking at the horrified and awed looks on the faces of passers-by, I am afraid that these two princes are extremely powerful and no one dares to provoke them.

Xin Zhuo smiled and said: "How come you, the noble prince, are so humble?"

Wang Tian smiled bitterly and said: "You people from the countryside don't know how scary the big shots in the imperial court are. I forgot to tell you that there are six kings in this capital, six kings with different surnames. They are all family members of the queen, and they are in charge of the four million-strong imperial army.

Not to mention this young master, even high-ranking officials in the imperial court cannot afford to offend him!"

He looked outside again and whispered: "These two princes are probably looking for treasures for His Majesty's birthday. Alas, I wonder what my father has prepared this time. Can I help you find it?"

It’s a good idea to marry the daughter of a prince’s family!

Murong Yunxi and Li Xiyue are the first choices for beauties in the capital. Unfortunately, they are both officials and their family status is not good. The remaining Ling Junyao and Ning Zhiwei are also good, and..."

Xin Zhuo looked a little weird. Are they still there? He subconsciously blurted out: "What kind of beauties are they?"

Just a bunch of yellow-haired girls.

"You..." Wang Tian said angrily: "Have you heard of them? They are not beauties. Are there any beauties in the world? You are too arrogant!"

Xin Zhuo was too lazy to care and said with a smile: "Okay, you continue..."

"Where did I say it? By the way..."

Wang Tian continued to chatter non-stop.

Xin Zhuo discovered that this kid didn't want to make friends with him, he was just a talkative guy who wanted to chat with someone and show off. Even if he met a beggar, he could still talk about it for half the night.

As the front of the official road approaches Andu, there are more and more pedestrians on the road. There are countless people on all kinds of expensive carriages, all kinds of gorgeous clothes, and there is an endless stream of cars pulling precious treasures.

The fireworks of this Mortal Empire are completely different from Xuantian Sword Sect and even Kunxu Martial City.

It's just that Xin Zhuo is a little confused. How many years has it been since he left Andu? It's only four years, right? Has it really changed so much?

An hour later, we finally arrived at the east gate of Andu City. The cars, horses and pedestrians in front of us were crowded, and the tall and endless imperial city walls made us feel small.

Wang Tian rubbed his hands: "Brother, how do you arrange it? If you really have no place to go, why not go to my house and become a disciple? By the way, are you literate?"

Xin Zhuo no longer had the slightest interest in chatting at this time, and suddenly got out of the carriage with Xiao Huang.

Wang Tian was stunned for a moment, leaned out of the car window and said: "It's fate that you and I are traveling together. If you want to break into the imperial capital, I won't stop you. I want to warn you, kid. There are many dignitaries everywhere in the imperial capital. They will slap a bunch of officials to death."

, you need to change your bragging and reckless temper, otherwise you won’t survive the next day!”

Xin Zhuo has gone far.

The maid on the side complained in a low voice: "Little Marquis, you shouldn't make friends with such common people of unknown origin. If you cause trouble, the Marquis will blame you."
