Devil’s Advent

Zheng Fan stretched out his hand to grab Pixiu's mane, and Jinyi's personal guards camped thirty miles east of the river, while Juggernaut and Xu Chuang waited not far away.

After all, he is a majestic King of Pingxi, and it is impossible for him to ride solo from Fengxin City so far alone on a brave man wearing black armor.

There are some things that Lao Tian can do, but Zheng Fan can't do them yet.

Rao so,

At this time, he faced thousands of forbidden troops alone,

It is also worthy of the name of riding alone.

If something happened, the surrounding Juggernaut and Xu Chuang would not be able to rescue him in time.

It can be said,

At the command of the Son of Heaven,

It is enough to smother Dayan Pingxi Prince... oh no, Zheng Fan, the thief of Dayan Kingdom, was killed here in one fell swoop.

It doesn't matter how the process is, the main thing is that Zheng Fan has already given his own attitude at this time.

After the publicity of this scene, the world must be amazed at Prince Pingxi's frankness, and the ministers of Yanjing City probably had nothing to say when they heard the news.

But for those who really know Zheng Fan,

Especially for the emperor standing on the imperial chariot at this time,

What a person surnamed Zheng who is greedy for life and afraid of death,

He can do this, but it really surpasses the loyalty of the so-called ordinary courtiers, because this guy is actually not loyal at all...

The emperor took a deep breath,

Calmly, he pressed back the mist that had just brewed from the corners of his eyes,

laughed and scolded:

Still so pretentious, still so respectful, we are not a scourge, nor do we want to kill the enemy army, he has to play this kind of independent air of Feng Xiaoxiaosi.

dog minions,

don't you know

He is bullying us.

Behind the emperor, Wei Zhonghe also had a smile on his face.

The Custodian generals around the imperial chariot,

Even the guards around them breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this scene.

The farther to the east, the greater the pressure in everyone's heart.

The emperor did not mobilize the garrison in Jin to support them, which meant that if something happened here, they would have no reinforcements to count on.

Stand by?

Who do you want to help?

Did the magistrates of the nearby counties who were loyal to the emperor come to the rescue with the yamen servants and civilian husbands?

Everyone was prepared for the worst, but when Prince Pingxi appeared in such a posture, in an instant, the rain was over and the sky cleared, and he felt that life was so beautiful for a moment.

It's a strange feeling,

Zheng Fan patted Pixiu on the head,

Pixiu shook his body,

The shiny armor directly fell down, covering his body, competing with the sunset glow at dusk.

immediately,

It took a step forward and walked towards the forbidden army in front of it.

Naturally, the general of the Forbidden Army in front could not foolishly order his subordinates to set up their spears, raise their crossbows and ask again:

Who is here, trespassing on the emperor's palace, you can know what crime it should be!

Although the place where the Son of Heaven walks is the same as the imperial palace, whoever wants to meet the Son of Heaven has to report his identity first, and then report it step by step, and finally see if the Son of Heaven is interested in summoning you;

But obviously, King Pingxi does not belong to this list.

The general looked back and found that His Majesty had already appeared on the imperial chariot.

King Pingxi rode Pixiu and continued to come,

The father-in-law who sent the order from the rear has not arrived yet,

The general took a deep breath, took three steps back to his side, and knelt down on one knee:

The last general pays homage to Prince Pingxi, Prince Fukang is thousand years old!

The rest of the guards around also knelt down:

Meet Prince Pingxi!

The prince nodded slightly, and did not interact with the imperial army, but let Pai Yao continue to move forward.

It's really not that Zheng Fan wants to play tricks here,

It's that when a person reaches a certain position, he will naturally have a corresponding dignity. We can't be shy, but there is no need to demean ourselves, right?

When Lao Tian and Lao Li went to see the first emperor, would the imperial guards around the emperor stop them?

Dare to point to his nose and say, do you want to wait for the emperor's edict?

Lao Tian directly abolished the third prince in the capital, and Lao Li roasted leg of lamb in the imperial garden,

It's true that it's a courtier,

But you also have to look at your own size,

At this level, it is better to be straightforward.

Don't look at the gang of adults in the capital who call themselves national traitors and national traitors all day long, and often say that they are domineering, arrogant and violating the ban.

If you really want to be cautious, polite and courteous like walking on thin ice,

I'm afraid they will be the first to be scared to death.

The prince himself didn't straighten his back, and his figure was a little lazy.

When the prince came over, the imperial guards at all levels gave way and knelt down.

The emperor stood there with a smile on his face.

As the distance gets closer, you can still see the emperor's hands crossing and caressing unconsciously, as if hesitating.

If the scene is not suitable,

In private,

Zheng Fanfei had to tease Ji Laoliu for acting as if the little daughter-in-law was looking forward to her husband's return.

finally,

The prince came to the imperial chariot.

Did not turn over and come down to salute;

When the first emperor allowed himself to ride a horse in the palace, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who led him into the palace at that time.

This line is the regulation of the palace, so there is still no need to dismount.

When the new king first came to the throne, he made an order. Because the king of Pingxi had a knee injury in the southern and northern wars, he was exempted from the ceremony when he faced the saint.

For others, if the emperor bestows a piece of meat, it has to be taken back, pickled and enshrined as a family heirloom. Whatever kindness the emperor bestows, the emperor will be terrified.

But King Pingxi took it seriously.

You let me ride a horse and I will ride,

If you ask me to excuse me, I will;

I take what the emperor gives me, and accept what I use.

oh,

except one,

That is, if the emperor bestows some death-free coupon, the prince will never believe it.

The emperor stretched out his hand, wanting to pull the prince onto the chariot.

The prince glanced at him, but didn't answer;

This is not a show, he is a big man, and the black armor on his body is heavy, with the power of the emperor, he does not know whether the emperor will fall or not, he is afraid that he will have to fall along with him.

At the steps of the imperial chariot, the prince fell directly from Pixiu's back and walked to the top.

The emperor stepped forward, stretched out his hand, and hugged Zheng Fan.

The prince's arms were still open, and he didn't come to meet and hug the emperor with him.

Fortunately, wearing armor, separated by a thick layer, otherwise it would be a bit greasy.

It's okay, it's over, it's over.

The prince reminded.

The emperor said: When you came here, I was thinking in my heart how to say hello to you for the first time, but I found that it was not appropriate, so I might as well be more direct.

While letting go of the emperor's hand, he clenched his fist and tapped on the position of the breastplate on the prince's chest.

Your surname is Zheng, you have grown taller.

You're getting fatter too. I just looked at it from the front, and I thought Xu Wenzu had added a yellow robe to his rebellion.

Plop!

The Lord Prefect of Yingdu standing behind the curtain knelt down on the ground.

It is true that Lao Xu is a person with a very flexible mind, but he is still a person of this era.

He was loyal to Zhenbeihou's mansion, and after Zhenbeihou made it clear that he would not fight for that chair, he became Dayan Zhongliang in a down-to-earth manner.

The awe that Zheng Fan has always sneered at, Xu Pangpang really has always upheld.

Come on, come in and have a drink.

Ever since King Pingxi appeared, the emperor never called himself Zhen.

Inside the imperial chariot, it is very luxurious.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, the most luxurious thing is the thirty-six beasts that pull the imperial chariot, which can be said to show the dignity of the emperor.

But Zheng Fan knew that the thirty-six brave beasts were naive, bred by the Beastmaster. Their charge was not comparable to ordinary war horses, and their endurance was not comparable to that of pack horses. They were really like a guard of honor.

When the master entered the chariot, Pixiu shook the shiny armor on his body, pacing reservedly and gracefully in front of the thirty-six beasts pulling the imperial chariot.

He opened the curtain, and when he came in, he saw a mountain of meat kneeling in the corner.

Zheng Fan stepped forward and helped Xu Wenzu up.

Rao is a fifth-rank peerless master,

It is still a little difficult to support Xu Pangpang;

The main reason is that Xu Pangpang's body was a little weak from the previous sentence of adding a yellow robe.

The Queen He Sisi, who was wearing a phoenix skirt and no formal dress, was already standing there, and when she saw Zheng Fan coming in, she gave a little blessing,

road:

It's really embarrassing to ask my brother to pick me up in person.

The queen was born in the folk, with a halo of affinity.

In the early years when Ji Lao Liu was still a prince, He Sisi, as a concubine, was very popular in the royal circle of the capital, everyone thought she was real.

But Zheng Fan knows,

No matter how real people are, they have been princesses and queens for several years, how much of their original simplicity can be left?

The butcher's house didn't run a dyeing workshop, and even if it did, its true colors would have been washed away long ago.

It's nothing more than that this Tian family couple is best at this kind of affinity method, especially when it is used on themselves, it can be said that they spare no effort.

However, this is what Wang Ye really likes.

The queen said hello, but the prince didn't hold it. It is impossible to salute. In this life, except for Lao Tian who came back from the west, Zheng Fan felt that no one in Zhuxia was qualified to accept his knee.

But Zheng Fan still took a half step back with a smile and nodded, saying;

The queen looks really good.

This is not a scene, because the queen's face is white and red.

The queen smiled shyly.

The emperor was much more free and easy. After sitting down, he beat his waist and said with emotion:

I watered it!

The prince nodded and responded, It's hard for you.

What do you mean! The emperor was anxious, The one whose surname is Zheng!

Practice squats more when you have time.

The prince gave advice.

The emperor patted the dragon chair beside him,

road:

Hey, come up.

The prince didn't go up to sit on the dragon chair, but turned his head to look at the cushions beside him. The interior of the imperial chariot looked like a small court hall, and the officials he met along the way were all kneeling on the cushions.

At this time, Eunuch Wei moved a chair and placed it behind the prince.

The prince sat down by himself without waiting for the emperor to call Give me a seat.

I know you are a lazy person. Since you have children, you have been staying in the palace to accompany your children. It's hard for you to come so far to pick me up.

The prince smiled,

Reaching out to take the tea delivered by Eunuch Wei,

smell,

Daze tongue.

Eunuch Wei whispered: Your Majesty, His Majesty brought this from Beijing to keep for you. Your Majesty will always remember your greeting.

The emperor shouted directly:

Does he only have this sip? If you let him drink Longjing Maojian, can he get it out? He only knows this sip.

The prince lowered his head and took a sip. Since he drank this tea as herbal tea in Fan Manor and fell asleep for a long time, he really had to drink it slowly when he drank it again.

put down the teacup,

The prince said:

I didn't intend to come to pick you up, but I was afraid that if you crossed the river like this, you would be rushed directly by my army leaders, so I had to run there myself.

Xu Wenzu next to him felt guilty when he heard this. Isn't this too straightforward?

If it was something else, such as chatting with the emperor and talking about ordinary things, he would be able to accept it, but to say the reason so openly and persistently, it really doesn't take the emperor seriously, right?

He had known for a long time that the emperor and Prince Xi had a very good relationship, but he did not expect to be so good to this extent.

The historian who recorded the match between the monarch and his ministers has been petrified.

When the queen heard this, she also looked at her husband with some worry.

Not worried about safety, but afraid that her husband would be angry.

But the emperor was not angry,

Instead, he leaned in the direction of Zheng Fan,

asked:

It's really come to this point?

I have children.

The main reason is that there is a son-in-law.

The emperor nodded, then pointed at Zheng Fan,

road;

This is your fault. How can Jin Dong say that it is also the land of my Great Yan? If you go to your own land with the emperor of Dayan, you have to worry about being rushed by your own soldiers all the time?

How did you become a prince!

The prince rolled his eyes at the emperor,

road:

That's okay, I will make up for the food and salaries owed to Jindong in the past two years, and then I will take them to thank the emperor for his kindness.

Hmm... Ji Laoliu.

The emperor rubbed his hands together,

road:

You know, I saved some last year, but after the war, the treasury started running rats again. I, I really lost a drop.

You've also been in business, and the boss doesn't pay you wages. Do you hope the guys below will still be devoted to you?

At this time Xu Wenzu smoothed things over and said: No matter how you say it, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the Lord of the Great Swallow, even if it is...

The prince spit out tea foam,

road:

Under my staff, there are actually not many serious Lao Yan people.

... Xu Wenzu.

Surnamed Zheng, I haven't passed Jiangdong yet, so you gave me medicine directly?

Pre-applied.

The prince didn't think it was an offense for him to say these words, and the correspondence between the two was actually more casual.

Actually, I can think about it too. The emperor shook his legs, I want the horse to run and also think about how it is possible for the horse not to eat grass. Anyway, your surname Zheng is a good hand in governing the place, so you can watch it for me.

These words, in fact, do not scare me.

Even if my father went to Beifeng County back then, I was afraid that I would be rushed by those arrogant soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, haha.

... Xu Wenzu.

Xu Pangpang felt that he had been hit by an arrow in his knee.

The emperor said again: Zheng Fan, after crossing the river, take me for a walk around Jindong.

Upstairs in Xueguan City, I want to see it.

I also want to visit Zhennanguan, the place of national warfare.

Father, two uncles, you, I want to see how many territories the Yan soldiers have fought bloodily.

Take a look here first,

later,

Then take me to see Yingdu and Shangjing...

Speaking of which,

The emperor suddenly frowned,

road;

Damn, these two capitals of famous places were destroyed by you, Zheng!

The prince stretched himself.

At this time, a general of the forbidden army came in to report that the boat was ready.

Okay, is there anyone on the other side? the emperor asked the prince.

Zheng Fan nodded and said, There are my personal guards.

Then let's cross the river first, and the forbidden army will stay here, so as to save the trouble of bringing so many people there.

When Eunuch Wei heard this, he hesitated, and wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but before he could speak, the emperor said first:

Your surname Zheng has always been stingy, so I didn't bring a few thousand extra mouths with me, so as not to ask for an IOU from the Ministry of Household Affairs after I'm done.

The prince nodded, stood up, and said, Then let's go.

The boats are quite big, and the Wangjiang navy specially dispatched three large ships for His Majesty to use.

It is true that the Imperial Army stayed behind, but the palace maids and eunuchs and officials who accompanied Shengjia had to go with them.

In addition, there are a group of secret agents who have to follow to facilitate the connection between the emperor and Yanjing.

In fact, since he went out, the booklets have been delivered to the imperial chariot every day.

If the emperor was so free and easy that he only took a queen and followed King Pingxi across the river, the outside world would immediately think that King Pingxi had kidnapped the emperor and queen.

After boarding,

The emperor and prince stood on the deck, looking at the river.

The emperor ordered the boat to stop in the middle of the river, and he wanted to pay homage to the soldiers of the Yan army who died here in the first battle of Wangjiang.

Eunuch Wei stood a little further away, and stood beside the Juggernaut.

Puzzled:

My lord, where is your Longyuan?

The Juggernaut replied: Give it to my apprentice.

congratulations.

The funeral is over,

Looking at the rising smoke,

Holding the wine glass, the emperor said with some melancholy:

I used to travel around a lot, but when I came out after becoming the emperor, when I saw the beautiful scenery, it was really different from before.

it's beautiful

But it's also too heavy.

The prince didn't speak, just stood there blowing the river wind.

He himself is a person who likes to express his emotions in beautiful scenery, so naturally he is too lazy to cheer up the people around him at this time, even if this person is the emperor.

Fortunately, the emperor has long been used to it;

After a short silence,

The emperor waved his hand and motioned for the ship to proceed.

A lot of people are actually watching, seeing whether I dare to cross this river or not.

I knew you would come. The prince said.

The emperor supported the ship's side with his hands, looked at the layers of ripples caused by the progress of the ship, and said:

How much do you think I am compared with my father?

Almost.

Don't fool me.

It's really close. The first emperor and I actually didn't have much contact with each other, and I haven't been to Beijing a few times.

The emperor smiled,

road;

The whole world feels that when the emperor was in power, he pulled out all the thorns, whether it was outside or inside, and he gave me one. Although it was a bit broken, it was quite safe.

This, I do not deny.

But in one thing, I am more difficult than my father, and I am better than him.

The two kings of the north and the south, trust them, let them go, support them,

Is it difficult?

Is it really difficult?

Li Liangting, Tian Wujing, which emperor doesn't like such courtiers?

Zheng Fan looked at the emperor and asked, You mean, I'm not likable enough?

The emperor reached out and grabbed Zheng Fan's arm,

road:

Surnamed Zheng, ask yourself, let's switch places.

You are the emperor, I am King Pingxi,

you,

What will happen to me?

I, I probably slapped you to death long ago.

Hahahahahaha!
