Chapter 132 The First Scene in Changan: Giant Phoenix Swallowing the Sun

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Falling in love in the Tang Dynasty is really no fun at all, because you can't see them in person.

When asking Di Renjie how he got along with his young fiancée, Di Renjie kept his mouth tightly closed and said nothing. He even had the urge to jump up and beat Yunchu violently.

It seemed that they were not very happy when they got along.

After the old monkey learned about this, his eyes were about to burst into flames. He originally thought that Yunchu should marry a girl named Yuchi.

However, he did not have an attack after all, because Xuanzang's attitude towards the matter turned out to be indifferent.

Not only that, Xuanzang also scolded the old monkey for interfering too much with Yunchu, causing the old monkey to not act like a monk.

Xuanzang's bottomless indulgence towards Yunchu made the old monkey somewhat sad, because Xuanzang had set a lot of rules for him, but he treated anything Yunchu did as if he suddenly had the mind of a Buddha and could tolerate it.

All things.

What he didn't know was that the biggest reason why Yunchu quickly settled on the goal was him.

Old Monkey always thought that Yun Chu was born to be a Buddhist, but he didn't know that Yun Chu had avoided Buddhism from the beginning.

Jinchangfang looks calm on the surface, but is actually developing at an extremely fast speed.

Yunchu finally arrived at the big day he was looking forward to, the birthday of Queen Wende on March 18th.

Two days ago, Jinwu Guards began stationed in Jinchangfang to screen people who could walk on the street.

As a result, after sifting and sifting, there was only one suitable person in the huge Jinchangfang, and that was Yun Chu.

The officials who came to take charge of the emperor's travel safety were very troubled by this matter. This huge Jinchangfang could not have only Yunchu running around on the street. It would be too ugly.

However, March 18th is also the birthday of Queen Wende. In the past, when Queen Wende was still alive, she would leave the palace and accept worship and gifts from the people on Zhuque Street.

Queen Wende would even leave the protection of her guards, take the initiative to go into the people's circle, and find a few people who liked her to have sex with her.

He would even look through the files of the Jingzhao Mansion Death Row Prison and select a few filial death row inmates to be released.

Finally, he would give his gifts to the loyal ministers, filial sons, and honest wives selected by the Jingzhao Mansion.

Li Zhi did not have the courage to walk into the crowd of common people, so these people could only be pretended to be people from the Jinwu Guard.

Yun Chu's identity was determined after a rigorous investigation. Whether he was a hero in the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty, an eighth-grade physician at the Imperial Medical Office, an imperial student recommended by Liang Jianfang, or the head of Jinchangfang, these

His status dictated that he must walk to the emperor's carriage and receive inquiries.

Not only that, two eunuchs from the palace came to the Yun family and brought Yunchu a brand new green official uniform, including hats, inner and outer clothes, and even shoes and socks.

After arriving, they did not leave. They also taught Yunchu how to speak correctly when asked by the emperor.

Including, how to stand, what voice to use to answer, where to look, and how to place your hands.

However, they soon saw some familiar faces in the Yun family, and these people who should have died soon or disappeared are now not only alive and well, but also seem to have gained a lot of weight.

The servants and wives of the Yun family treated the eunuchs very calmly, as if they had never known them before, and they seemed not to hear them when they were called by their previous names.

Yun Chu quietly asked Si Fei what was going on.

"I am now a member of the Yun family and have nothing to do with the palace. I don't want to have anything to do with them anymore. If possible, I don't even want to think about anything related to the palace."

Si Fei's answer did not avoid the eunuchs, which surprised the eunuchs. Obviously, these two eunuchs should be very good people. It can be seen from their expressions that they feel for Si Fei.

Happy.

After spending two days with these two eunuchs, Yunchu discovered that his previous understanding of eunuchs was wrong.

They are not much different from ordinary people. They are not as white as jade or feminine. They walk and talk very ordinary. They don't have drake voices or soft voices. In the final analysis, they are just servants of the royal family.

Other than that, there's nothing special about it.

Good-looking men will not be sent to the palace to serve as eunuchs. They will only be sent to places that specialize in training pedophiles, or they will be raised by some caring people for great use.

When bidding farewell to the two eunuchs, Yunchu followed Cui's instructions and did not ask for their names. He just politely stuffed each of them with a golden bean and watched them accept it with his own eyes. Cui then breathed a sigh of relief.

.

"Don't be so nervous. I think these two people seem to be good people. They didn't pick any trouble when they came to our house, and they didn't deliberately make things difficult, and they didn't ask for money. Why are you so nervous?"

Cui said seriously: "Mr. Lang, when you see these eunuchs from now on, hide as far away as you can. Their problem has never been about them, but what other people say about your meeting with them.

It is a taboo for eunuchs to communicate with foreign officials. If the prince is able to enter and leave the palace one day, do not accept any good intentions from eunuchs. No one knows whether these good intentions will be poison.

In short, just treat them as plague gods."

Si Fei suddenly interjected: "Lang Jun, eunuchs are not men, they are the most vicious. Don't pay attention to them. They are slaves. They only pretend to scare people. The worse you treat them, in fact they are.

The more stable you are, the fewer eunuchs you can get close to your majesty, queen, and concubine.

Everything they say around His Majesty will be recorded, so they don't dare to talk nonsense at all."

Yun Chu thought so.

The next day, March 18, was the birthday of Queen Wende.

Yun Chu was woken up by Mrs. Cui and her group before dawn, and then it was a tedious bath. Although Yun Chu was a little embarrassed to be taken care of by five or six old women at home, these people were all good at taking care of others.

It was extremely professional. After a while, the clean Yun Chu was put into new official uniforms, and someone started applying makeup and powder to Yun Chu.

However, after looking in the mirror, Yun Chu would not let them do it again, as the white powder was too much.

After dressing up, Yunchu went to see Naha who was sleeping. The child opened his eyes, took a look, and then fell back to sleep. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he shouted-"Fight the ghost!"

Yunchu left home triumphantly and went to the gate of Jinchangfangfang to wait for the emperor's arrival.

Today's giant phoenix has been washed extremely clean with clean water. According to the process sent by a minister of etiquette, the emperor will dot the eyes of the giant phoenix on the square gate today.

Instead of cinnabar, the emperor's own blood was used.

In terms of showing their filial piety, the Li dynasty has an almost perverted pursuit of dotting their eyes with blood. Once the blood dries, it will turn black and attract flies. Yun Chu knows this very well. In Laoshan, he has seen

The largest swarm of flies in the world.

After hearing Yun Chu's concerns, the sixth-grade official, a foreign minister, glared at Yun Chu, as if he was unwilling to talk to such a young official. After a long time, he said: "Blood stained with cinnabar."

Only then did Yun Chu look like he had suddenly realized something, which gave him a lot of face for this sixth-grade Yuanwailang.

When the sun rose from the mountain, where Yun Chu was standing he saw the fiery red sun moving towards the mouth of the giant phoenix.

’ So he invited the foreign minister over to watch the spectacle of a giant phoenix swallowing the sun. He was about to introduce a few words to the foreign minister about the magic of this scene, but found that the foreign minister knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Hu Xiangrui.

He was an official of the Ministry of Rites, and he must have been thinking about where to get auspicious signs all day long to make the emperor happy. At this moment, the appearance of a giant phoenix swallowing the sun immediately caused the Yuanwailang's psychological defense to collapse.

"This is the most auspicious thing in the world!" Foreign Minister of Rites shouted loudly, as if he wanted his shout to be heard by everyone in Chang'an. Unfortunately, the only people standing on the road at this time were the soldiers of Jinwu Guard and

The group of armored and sharp killers on the right guard.

Soon, the magistrate of Wannian County, Lu Changming, came. Like the Yuanwailang, after seeing the spectacle of the giant phoenix swallowing the sun, he also kowtowed repeatedly and shouted long live.

It wasn't until the third-rank official, the prince, who ruled Chang'an for ten thousand years, and the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture in 23 counties including the two counties, and the most famous and colorful figure in Chang'an City, Prince Ji Li Shen, also began to pay homage, Yun Chu

It just felt like I had created something that seemed amazing.

The giant phoenix is ​​fixed, and the sun rises slowly according to its inherent angle every day. It always looks like it is being pecked by the giant phoenix with its mouth when viewed from a certain angle.

This is obviously not difficult to understand, but don’t so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries present understand this truth?

A high-ranking official came, and Yunchu accompanied him along with the people who came first to bow down to the giant phoenix. This was a real bow, the kind where you bang your head on the stone slab.

Fortunately, Queen Wende has transformed from a human into a god, so she should be worshiping Buddha.

Soon, the giant phoenix swallowing the sun became the most wonderful scene in Chang'an in everyone's mouth. It is much more brilliant and sacred than the wind and snow in Baliu Mountain, the evening light in Lishan Mountain, and the flowing water in Qujiang River.

Everyone is praising this magnificent scene, and some people have even begun to search for poetry.

As for Yun Chu, the initiator of this auspicious sign, no one paid attention to him. He stood on the outermost edge with the Jin Wu guards, looking inconspicuous and showing a silly smile with white teeth.

A group of black-armored cavalry wearing iron masks with grim faces slowly appeared from the corner of the street, holding horses in their hands, as if they were ready to charge at any time.

As soon as these people appeared, even the most noisy King Ji Li Shen wisely shut his mouth. Everyone present also began to play their crowns and adjust their official uniforms. Yunchu was the only green among the thousands of purples and reds.

No one spoke, everyone held their hands flat in the hand gesture, solemnly and solemnly, like clay and wood sculptures.

Only the clatter of the neat hooves of the black-armored cavalry was like a knock on everyone's heart.
