Volume Two, Accession to the World, Chapter 61: The Banquet in the Palace
In the evening of this day, Feng Yu had already set off. He was always a little nervous when entering the palace for the first time. In order to calm down, he also brought his favorite thing, Jun Xie, with him. This sword was regarded as a treasure by his master.
Treasures given to him will always bring him a sense of security.
The moat is about fifty meters wide, and there is a stone bridge nearly twenty meters wide at the Ziwu Gate, which is also a common path for people from outside to enter the palace. The remaining ones are for the inner palace personnel, which is more convenient for entry and exit, and are also heavily guarded.
.
"Stop! No one is allowed to enter the important area of the palace."
Two guards with long guns were guarding the bridge. When they saw Feng Yu approaching, they blocked the front with their guns in the shape of knives and forks, staring at him intently.
These two men are not ordinary soldiers. They are completely different from the patrolling men and horses they saw at the beginning. Not to mention their tiger-like temperament, even if they fight alone, they can probably pick off several of them.
Forbidden Army? The palace deserves to be called a palace, with such a strong defensive force.
Feng Yu took out the token given by Qin Yi and showed it to them. The two carefully screened the jade token and were shocked when they looked at each other. They had never seen this token for many years, but it was different from other princes' jade tokens.
There is no difference, except that this is the word "huai".
Someone walked up and asked, "What is your name?"
Feng Yu glanced at him and suddenly felt a little funny, and replied without changing his expression, "Qin Junze."
Everyone was shocked, and they all knelt down on their right knees, kowtowed, and said, "We are waiting to see His Highness King Huai!"
Is this what it feels like to be superior? Although I have been performing in the martial arts academy for a long time for this identity, it is not as exciting and real as this sound. Unknowingly, my own aura also spreads, and I followed the sword master for two seconds.
Nian, that was a man who stood at the pinnacle of martial arts, and Feng Yu naturally had an inherent kingly demeanor.
The seventh-grade strength was revealed inadvertently, but he was calmed down in an instant. Looking at the imperial guards kneeling on the ground, Feng Yu felt a little yearning for power for the first time.
"Now, can I go in?"
"It is my duty to meet His Highness for the first time. I hope His Highness will forgive me."
"You should perform your duties to the best of your ability. If you have committed any crime, please get up." After saying that, he strode into the Ziwu Gate.
"Is this His Highness Prince Huai? I've never seen him before."
"I heard that he has been with the old prince since he was born and has never come back. Not many people even know about it among the royal family."
"However, he is worthy of being the one who is galloping on the battlefield behind the old prince. His Highness Prince Huai's aura is so strong that I could hardly breathe just now."
"What are you guys talking about! Don't you know that foreign envoys are in Beijing today? There are no rules. Next time, you will go and receive the punishment yourself." A loud shout came from behind, a tall man wearing silver armor
The general came over and stared at the few people who were talking with his eyes wide open.
"General, I understand my mistake."
"I just saw His Highness Prince Huai for the first time. I was a little surprised, so I chatted for a few words and I will never do it again."
The general's eyes changed, "His Royal Highness King Huai, has he come to the palace?"
"Exactly, the token is unique and has the word "Huai" engraved on it. It is alone and has such a strong aura that my subordinates will not admit it."
The general asked in his heart: After following the old prince for twenty years, this prince whose name and face he never heard finally returned to Beijing. I wonder how he is different from other princes after many years in the army?
"You guys, please keep an eye on me. If something goes wrong, I'll blame you!" After saying that, he left in a hurry.
It is difficult to enter the palace. There are more than just one checkpoint, and the roads are quite complicated. It is difficult to find it for the first time, and you have to ask others. Fortunately, the prince's identity is unimpeded and respected by others, otherwise it would really be dawn.
Looking at the school training ground, the weak sunlight reflects the approaching night. This moment is not a military activity, nor is His Majesty's military parade, but a banquet here to entertain the envoys of Xia and Jin.
On top of the main seat, the tall and majestic man with a face as sharp as a knife, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat on an agarwood chair outside, as if he was looking down at the world and all living things. No, he is the one among ten thousand people.
But, how many people know whether there is still warmth in his heart under his always cold appearance.
At this moment, his jade-like sculptured appearance and perfect eyebrows complemented his heroic spirit, and his thin lips were pursed tightly, as if he was troubled by something, but it was this frown that made people feel awe from the bottom of their hearts.
On the left and right sides, the queen and concubine Yu were sitting on both sides, waiting for wine and food. Next to them stood two father-in-laws with a hair as white as snow and a slightly fat figure, and a black hair with scruffy cheeks and slightly sunken cheeks. These are the constant companions.
The emperor's two elders, Eunuch Gao and Eunuch Hong Sihong, who have a long life, are old in appearance, but they are full participants in discussing national affairs beside the emperor, and their status is very high.
Further down, the prince and the princes sat on both sides. Among them, the prince Qin Junyu and his sidekick Wang Qin Yi were the leaders. The prince, his compatriots and various vassals all led the way. Each of them was dressed in nobility, had an extraordinary aura, and was immersed in blood.
The depth of the government for many years, the open-minded optimism, the ruthlessness of a closed heart, the smiling face hiding the front, and the heroic and arrogant spirit!
The nine sons born from the dragon are all different, and so are the princes.
Under the steps, there were important officials of the imperial court and envoys from the two countries. The scene was spectacular and grand. At this moment, it was just singing and dancing to bring peace.
As for why Your Majesty is troubled, it is because one of his envoys from the Xia Kingdom is talking.
"The Tang Kingdom is invincible on the battlefield, and King Bingjian is known to everyone. He has made countless military exploits. I guess there are many heroes among the people present in your country today. Our Xia Kingdom is located in the Western Region, and the climate is not as good as that of the Tang Kingdom.
, so I, the men of Xia Kingdom, are relatively rough. Today, we, the third prince, have this good opportunity, and we, the third prince, want to take this opportunity to challenge the masters of your country, in order to cope with the current mood, I wonder if your majesty will allow it? "
This guy, the third prince of the Xia Kingdom is a disciple of Shuofeng Dao Xiang Ping. Although the royal family has a name, he has been studying for more than 20 years. It is said that he has reached the sixth level not long ago. He mentioned this at the banquet in order to laugh at me, Tang Guo Chongwen.
Qingwu? After all, among the princes, the only ones who are stronger are the second prince Jing Wang Qin Junxuan and the fourth prince Wei King Qin Junjue, but they are both fifth-grade, and they are no match for a single challenge. This is clearly a provocation!
Hong Si whispered in His Majesty's ear: "Your Majesty, if you want to defeat him, I'm afraid the only one who can defeat him is Qin Xiaolong, the grandson of Wang Jianjian."
Regardless of success or failure, if you don't agree at this moment, I'm afraid it won't be justified and you will inevitably be at a disadvantage.
"Since your envoy wants to have fun, I'll just follow your envoy's wishes. Our army is marching to the border of Xia Kingdom, and all the good men and women are going to fight for the country. In the bloody battlefield, we, a group of weak scholars, can make friends with martial arts, too.
It can be regarded as a way to show respect to them. Come, get ready and enjoy the heroic appearance of the third prince of Xia Kingdom in this temple together. "
All the ministers were delighted. Your Majesty is worthy of being your Majesty. In just a few words, he saved the embarrassing situation. Not only did he enhance the prestige of our country, but he also belittled the third prince. His useless martial arts can only be used for people's admiration. Even if he loses, it will be a foil to the third prince.
Just take martial arts for fun.
The third prince couldn't bear it at all, "Humph, Your Majesty, if the little king is sitting here, doesn't it just mean that our Xia Kingdom is not close to its full strength. There is no use in being sharp in words. The only way is to see the truth under your hands. Could it be that we are not able to fight?
Are you someone? Xiao Wang also asked everyone from the Tang Dynasty to give me some advice."
His tone was unruly, and he didn't even stay face-to-face. Even his own envoys wanted to stop him. The envoys could have allowed the two countries to plot against each other. This was also the reason why the envoys had a high status, but they were definitely not on the territory of other countries.
It is taboo to humiliate someone in public!
Having already fallen behind, he was still trying to use force to gain some face, which was in vain, but the words had been spoken, so that was all.
Prince Jing Qin Junxuan stood up and said: "Father, although my son and I have mediocre martial arts skills, they are willing to be green leaves to accompany His Highness the Third Prince."
"Well, go ahead, just be casual. There will be a lot of excitement tonight. You are just relaxing at home, so you don't have to worry about anything else."
Feng Yu, who was standing hidden on the wall, was also looking at everyone present. Although it looked like an ordinary person holding a banquet, the situation was strange. No one was simple. Even the godmother and aunt seemed to be able to do it with ease.
There is a city. Sure enough, the more power is concentrated in a place, the more dangerous and unpredictable it is.
Especially this father-in-law whom he met for the first time, changed the situation with just two words, and even used this to suppress the Xia Kingdom. He was deeply scheming, extremely intelligent, and could assess the situation without losing the royal dignity. What a blessing!
"please."
On the field, the two of them exchanged swords and swords very quickly, and they did not hold back any moves. The intention of the competition was not seen at all, but it was just like this that everyone felt normal.
On the first seat, Hong Si, who was standing aside, suddenly said something in His Majesty's ear. His Majesty's expression finally changed slightly, showing sympathy, joy, helplessness, and confusion.
King Bingjian was not watching the fight at all. He raised his head and drank a glass of wine and said, "He's here."
His Majesty raised his hand to greet the guards, and added another seat under the Sixth Son of the King Qin Junyou. Everyone was puzzled, but Concubine Yu and the Queen had smiles on their faces, and they knew something.
Although Feng Yu didn't know what they were whispering, he could see clearly that he had been discovered a long time ago. But since no one called him, he might as well watch for a while.
In the eyes of martial arts masters, there is no difference between the fifth grade and the sixth grade before reaching the seventh grade. However, there is still a winner in the competition between the two. Although Prince Jing tried his best, he still lost to the third prince, and the third prince also
Knowing that he is in this situation, he will naturally not try his best, because even if he wins, he will not go down easily.
Sure enough, after King Jing showed a slight defeat, King Wei stopped watching. He stood up and opened the third prince's sword with his sword. He glanced at the second brother, who had been brothers for more than 20 years, and naturally understood the meaning and nodded.
, holding the sword and lowering it, "I lost, the third prince has done a good job."
"My second brother is defeated, and I am very upset about it. I simply take advantage of this opportunity and want to compete with the third prince. What do you think?"
The third prince didn't say anything and just drew his sword and went wild. The two of them soon fought together.
Feng Yu remembered that his godmother once said that he should be careful about this King of Wei. There might be a shocking conspiracy behind him. However, in just a few sticks of incense, there seemed to be nothing wrong. On the contrary, the Tang Dynasty was united and united.
Due to his sincerity and his extensive benevolent policies in the years since he came to power, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous.
Forget it, just take it as it comes. Showing too much doubt will only expose your flaws.
This time, the third prince of the Xia Kingdom did not let go. He knew that if he defeated the prince in front of him, no one among his peers would be able to defeat him, and he also figured out that when the Qi Hai was not yet established and his physical strength was exhausted, he should fight quickly.
He swung the gold-rimmed single sword vigorously, and he kept greetings with the Shuofeng sword technique he had learned. During the gap, he hit Qin Junjue with his leg. Qin Junjue almost knocked over the table of the minister next to him, and he touched his shoulder, feeling a faint pain.
Before anyone could say anything to stop him, the third prince flew up and landed from above, trying to step on Qin Junjue's chest and make him lie at his feet.
At this moment, an unsheathed long sword flew into the air from a distance.
