Travel thousands of miles in my life

The capital is all plain, and no one dares to be happy.

It has been three days since the old emperor died, and it is time to open the main city gate to welcome the new emperor today.The important officials of the court stood behind the old man with the three elders in their arms, and a group of people stood on the city gate against the cold wind at the end of September.

The battle report came only this morning. After Anyuan Pass, Luoyue Pass, Dingbei Pass, and Ju'an Pass, three key areas were lost one after another.All the generals guarding it were killed, and their bodies hung above the closed gate for three days in the wind and sun.This kind of news was tightly suppressed by the elders of the pavilion, and they dared not let out any rumors.The first emperor has just left, and the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne. If such words that destroy the hearts of the people are spoken, the foundation of the country may be shaken.

Fortunately, I received a letter from His Royal Highness last night, and it will arrive today.Only then did the elders let go of their worries for a while, and when they turned their eyes to the military generals who stayed behind in the court, they couldn't help feeling anxious again.Without him, because there are too few generals left.Either the old marquis who has already retired, or the little boy with yellow hair who has just been named a general.In this way, how can we regain and support the three levels that were taken away?

The oldest of the three court elders—the old scholar who was the first to appraise the imperial decree, secretly swelled in his heart. He has been suspicious recently whether this prince is the one who was conferred by the late emperor. Woolen cloth?Due to the current situation at that time, he had to admit the authenticity of the imperial decree, but when he thought about it carefully, from the death of the first emperor to their arrival, everything was full of doubts.Thinking of this, he glanced at the old man standing in front of them calmly, but he was the only one present at that time, and this person should know whether the imperial decree is true or not.

Soon, the old scholar let go of his thoughts again, because he saw the prince and his party who had arrived in the suburbs of Beijing from a distance.

It was a streamlined team, without gorgeous guards of honor, and no worshipers.There were only about twenty people, and they came slowly towards the gate of the city, surrounded by a carriage.

In less than half an hour, the team arrived at the foot of the city gate.A pale and slender hand opened the curtain, and a tall man dressed in black quickly stepped out of the car.

It's... Prince Gong.Lao Ge took a deep breath and sang loudly: "Welcome - Your Majesty."

Wei Congrong was still a little dazed when he heard the hoarse voice of the old man, he raised his head to look at the blue sky covered by plain white banners.

Today is sunny and sunny.The sunlight shone through the plain gauze, stinging his eyes.The vermilion city gate in front of you is dignified and simple, it is said to weigh 99 jin, it was built by Taizu when he was poor and poor, and the gate is not opened at all in the city.The man lowered his eyes, secretly mobilized his inner strength in his hands, and opened the door with a light push.

The opening of the main gate signifies the passing of a dynasty, and also heralds the opening of a dynasty.The common people on both sides of the street knelt down to salute him, and the old ministers who would only pay attention to him after being courteous on weekdays also knelt respectfully.The people in the city were overwhelmed by his coercion, and no one dared to speak out.

Silence, eternal silence.Wei Congrong has never had such a moment, so happy.He raised his hand to caress his chest, and the place that was empty in the past began to swell and clamor.

He looked around, and suddenly felt that something was missing again, and this strange feeling brought some emptiness between happiness and satisfaction.It seems that there is a voice in my heart that is constantly disturbing, it shouldn't be like this!Something is missing!

Wei Congrong put down his hand as he brought a fine horse under him, putting his thoughts aside temporarily.

At this moment, standing in the north of the city, he could already see the gorgeous palace in the center, the place where he was born and raised, the place he was most familiar with and hated the most.

The horse galloped swiftly, and the palace gate opened slowly from a distance.

Wei Congrong raised the corners of his lips slightly, he knew clearly that he had finally - got what he wanted.

The news of the new emperor's enthronement finally reached Saibei a few days later. In a small town on the frontier, a young man's eyes turned red with anger.He grabbed the thin letter and read it back and forth five or six times in disbelief.After confirming that every word on it was written with this heart-wrenching news, the man finally lost his strength and fell to the ground and muttered.

"No, it's impossible...it's not true...it's not true." He said to himself, crying and laughing, "it's not true... "

The attendant who had been following him hastily grabbed the man's shoulders: "Your Highness, Your Highness! Listen to me!"

"I'm defeated! A crushing defeat!" The man was trembling, he didn't know where the strength came from, he pushed the attendant away and was about to run out.The others chased him out quickly and pinned him to the ground. Li Qingyi glanced at the crazy-looking young man, gritted his teeth secretly, and slapped him loudly and crisply when he walked up.

The young man who was still yelling with the palm suddenly fell silent. He looked at the attendant with trembling lips, and tears kept streaming down the dirty ground.

"Your Highness, wake up!" Li Qingyi was furious in his heart, but he could only comfort him in a nice voice.He looked at Prince Yuan's clown-like attitude with cold eyes, and couldn't stop laughing.

"Your Highness! You should respect yourself!" The old attendant was heartbroken and helpless to persuade: "Ta Wei calmly changed the imperial decree by some means, even if he ascended to the position of great treasure, he did so by shady means. Are you Born by the Empress of the Zhenggong Palace, Your Majesty has devoted herself to teaching the Crown Prince for more than [-] years. Even if he is now downcast because of some secrets, he should never put on such an appearance. How can you make the empress feel at ease in heaven... .”

The attendant was old enough to be with the Empress Yuan, and now seeing the crown prince's disappointing appearance, he couldn't help but feel moved, sobbing, "His Royal Highness, please take a closer look at the situation, the three barriers have just been lost, and the new emperor has just been established. Everything is not settled yet. You still have a chance to make a comeback!"

Li Qingyi patted the young man on the shoulder, perhaps because the disappointment and expectation in their eyes were too heavy and hot, the young man gradually relaxed his body, collapsed on the ground, and cried silently: "Uncle Liu...Ming Ting... ...He has lost his mother...he has lost his mother!"

"He completely forgot what the queen mother said before she died. I thought that even if this son couldn't reach me, he should be the seventh brother of the same direct son. Who would have expected that he would directly..." The young man raised his hand to hide I closed my red and swollen eye sockets, and felt vigilant in my heart, and said softly: "I'm sorry, I can save it. It's me——I'm a demon."

He wiped his face, his expression finally cleared up, and they were finally relieved.Li Qingyi pulled him up, and the old attendant came forward and lovingly brushed the dust off the man's shoulders and clothes, "It's great that His Highness can figure it out. Now we don't have any advantages."

"Yes, we still have the Gao Family Army." Wei Congzheng took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled: "Fortunately, I have the Tiger Talisman. Uncle Liu, please take the Tiger Talisman with you."

"Yes," the old attendant hesitated after taking over the small bag containing the tiger amulet, "Then you... will you still be in the capital?" Feelings and reasons should go back to mourn one or two.

"Go back?" Wei Congzheng seemed to have heard something funny, and sneered: "Is there still a place for me there? Your Majesty can't wait for me to die."

"But—" The old attendant wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by the man's gesture, and he asked again: "I've been in a daze for the past few days, and I forgot to ask, in whose hands is the mother pearl?"

"In the hands of Wen Shuqiu." Li Qingyi no longer concealed it at this time, and said bluntly: "He hid the beads too deeply, and escaped everyone's search."

"Wen Shuqiu?" Wei Congzheng thought about it carefully, "Isn't that Wei Congrong's concubine son? They father and son are playing some charades."

"The informant said that Wei calmly took Wen Shuqiu's blood and then let him go, and never questioned him again." Li Qingyi thought for a while, and then said: "It should be a breakup."

"Wen Shuqiu is probably regretting it now? Wei Congrong has no other heirs besides him. If the relationship between their father and son is stable, the crown prince must have fallen on his head." Wei Congzheng snorted , touched his chin again: "Take the blood? Could it be that the news we got was wrong, the mother bead can't cure the poison of the Heavenly Dao Stone, but his blood can?"

"I don't know, we can't spare any manpower to find people right now." Li Qingyi couldn't help asking: "Where does the Heavenly Dao Stone you keep talking about exist?"

"I don't know. Wei Congzheng glanced at him, pointed to the ground under their feet and smiled: "Maybe it's here, who can guess?" "

Ordinary people may not know the power of the Heavenly Dao Stone, but those of them who hang out in the top circle all day long know it well. If you can't get the good things that can level the entire town in an instant, you can just destroy it. .Wei Congzheng walked out of the house, and in front of him was an endless gray-white desert.

He couldn't help but recall the day when he was a child, the still young fourth brother brought back novelties from outside the palace and invited his father to the racetrack.He was young and ignorant, so he sneaked to that desolate suburb, and saw his father and brother a few miles away from the racecourse.

He will never forget that day, when the sky was clear and the sky was shaking suddenly, a small cloud rose over the racecourse, and he was stunned. When he woke up, he went to see it again.

The huge racecourse has long been a huge pit.

With such power, how could Wei Congzheng give up?He has been following the footsteps of Prince Gong to find the secret of the Tiandao Stone, and now he has finally come across it, as long as he masters it, a comeback is not just talk.However, before doing these things, he had to give himself an aboveboard name.

"Order to post a call to action and prepare for enthronement." The young man said in a deep voice, "I am the only orthodox."
