Looking at this group of legendary Xuanjia troops, Yun Chu suddenly noticed that the arms of many of these guys carrying expensive horses were shaking.
Didn't you say that it should be as motionless as a mountain and as moving as thunder? Why, after holding it for just a moment, its arms started to feel weak?
Is this still the Xuanjia Army that became famous all over the world and made rebels all over the world fearful?
Is this still the invincible Xuanjia army that accompanied Emperor Taizong at Hulao Pass?
However, the armor on their bodies is really good, the horse blades in their hands are dark and dark, and the horses under their crotches are indeed superb horses. However, the knights on the horses are really not that good.
At this moment, Yunchu had a strange thought of facing such a heavy black armored cavalry on the battlefield and winning.
Just when Yunchu was thinking wildly, another group of infantrymen came over with neat steps, holding waist knives. After this group of people arrived, the Xuanjia soldiers released the horses as if they were granted amnesty. This time
Not so tidy anymore.
The infantry walked directly into the deserted Jinchangfang, and there was someone standing there every five steps until the line continued to the mountain gate of Daci'en Temple.
Behind this group of people were all the ceremonial guards for the emperor's trip. The queue was very long. Yun Chu had no other emotions except that he found that the palace maids here and his own servants were completely different species.
The carriage that the emperor rode was very wide and very heavy. Many parts were made of solid wood. I roughly estimated the weight and found that it was at least a ton. This estimated weight was only about a little less.
However, there is no shock-absorbing rubber on the wheels, and there is no hydraulic or spring shock-absorbing on the suspension system. No matter how luxurious the interior decoration of this carriage is, it is estimated that if the emperor leaves Chang'an in this car, it will be shocked and his head will hurt, right?
There were six horses pulling the emperor's carriage. Objectively speaking, each of them seemed to be more powerful than the maroon horse. Moreover, these six horses were all pure black. Yunchu looked at them for a long time, but he could not find any stray horses.
Mao Lai.
There were two horsemen driving the emperor's carriage, one up and one down. The one below seemed to be put into a box, and the one above was a strong and inhuman man. After putting on heavy armor, he even drove the carriage.
They were all a little out of shape. It seemed that this man should be the emperor's human shield.
The front panel of the carriage fell down, revealing the young face of Emperor Li Zhi of the Tang Dynasty. Everyone immediately bent down and saluted: "Your Majesty is welcome!"
After Li Zhi yawned, he said lazily: "Everyone is at peace."
After saying that, he got out of the car along the steps that had been set up. He first looked up at the magnificent phoenix on the gate of Jinchangfang, and said to the secretary beside him: "I'm interested."
Then, he set his sights on King Ji Li Shen who was standing respectfully. He stepped forward and patted his shoulder and said, "You are only two months younger than me. How come you are so rotten at such a young age?"
King Ji Li Shen lowered his head and said: "My brother is so majestic and heroic, how can I be compared to my younger brother?"
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Who is Lu Changming? Come forward and let me see. It's not easy for someone to think like this."
Lu Changming was originally standing aside waiting for the emperor to ask questions. Unexpectedly, when he heard the emperor's words were wrong, he knelt down and said quickly: "Your Majesty, this is not the idea of Wei Chen, but Jinchangfang
Li Changyunchu made it."
Yun Chu never expected that Lu Changming, a fool who had taken all the credit from him, would immediately push himself out to block the knife when he realized something was wrong.
There was no other way, so Yunchu had no choice but to stand up. He couldn't kneel down, so he had to hang his head and wait for the emperor to surrender.
Li Zhi ignored Yun Chu, but chuckled and said: "Lu Changming, who are you and what kind of behavior do you think I don't know?
You have been in office in Wannian County for two and a half years. If you had had this intention, you would have done it long ago, and you would not have done it now.
Although this Jinchangfang is also under your rule, and there are achievements here, which are your achievements, but I just can't stand your way of putting gold on your face.
Really managing this Wannian County for me is your greatest achievement, step down!"
Lu Changming kowtowed repeatedly. How arrogant this guy was in front of Yun Chu, he was so humble in front of Li Zhi.
Li Zhi glanced at Yunchu and said, "A fourteen-year-old Kucha hero?"
Yun Chu bent down and saluted: "I don't dare!"
Li Zhi shook his head and said: "There is nothing to be afraid of. If you dare to fight out from the thousands of Turkic troops, you deserve all the credit.
I ask you, why do you want to erect this giant phoenix at the entrance of Jinchangfang?"
Yun Chu said: "Queen Wende's mother-in-law honors the world, and she cannot be awarded meritorious service unless she is a giant phoenix."
Hearing this, Li Zhi looked up at the giant phoenix sculpture shining brightly in the sun. He was silent for a long time before saying, "I'm determined."
After saying that, he looked at the very eye-catching merit monument on the roadside. He couldn't help but smile and shouted to the driver: "You also come down and see how the women of the Tang Dynasty admired my mother."
Immediately, a woman with a baby in her arms got off the carriage. Yun Chu wanted to take a peek, so he raised his head and found that the woman's dark eyes were looking at him with a smile, and he immediately lowered his head.
When the woman holding the baby appeared, there was a slight commotion among the officials. Yun Chu could even hear someone saying, "How could it be her?"
He always felt that the woman was still looking at him, and he couldn't raise his head, so he could only stare at his toes without moving.
The woman seemed to know that she was the center of public opinion, and she seemed to ignore those people. It was not until Yun Chu's nose came from the scent of frankincense that he saw a section of the light yellow dress.
"Raise your head." The woman's voice was pleasant.
Yun Chu raised his head and first saw a fat baby smiling at him with his toothless mouth open and drooling.
Then, I saw a woman with an oval face.
"Let's talk about it again, why should we build this giant phoenix?"
Yun Chu gritted his teeth and said: "Queen Wende's mother-in-law honors the world, and no one but a giant phoenix can claim merit."
If he changed his confession at this time, Yunchu was very sure that the furious Li Zhi would chop him into pieces.
And this sentence, no matter who comes, cannot be said to be wrong, because it itself is correct and can no longer be correct.
"It's best to say this for the rest of your life..." The woman chuckled and left Yunchu to find Li Zhi. They just happened to listen together about the most amazing sight in Chang'an - the giant phoenix swallowing the sun!
After entering the Jinchangfang gate, Li Zhi did not take a car again, but walked twice on the clean and tidy streets of Jinchangfang and said to Wu Mei: "These bricks and stones have been laid for a while, they are not just in a hurry to welcome me.
Paved.”
Wu Mei smiled and said: "I dare to say that the money for laying these stone slabs must come from the woman on the stone tablet."
Li Zhi waved to Yun Chu, who was at the back, and said, "Come here and tell me, is this the case?"
Yun Chu bowed and said: "No one is more wise than your Majesty. The people have deep respect for Queen Wende. After building the giant phoenix, there was still a little leftover, so the ministers used the money to pave the roads in the city."
"Didn't you collect money from the residents?" Li Zhi asked.
Yunchu really couldn't figure out why the dignified Emperor of the Tang Dynasty always had to be entangled in matters of a few pennies.
He cursed in his heart, but quickly replied: "I didn't charge a penny from the people. On the contrary, whether it was building the giant phoenix or laying roads, I gave a lot of money to the people who participated in the work.
If public dissatisfaction boils over because of the giant phoenix incident, the original intention of commemorating Queen Wende will be lost. In that case, not only will it not be able to praise Queen Wende, but it will also discredit Queen Wende, which is something that a humble minister cannot do.
Allowed."
Li Zhi turned to Wu Mei and said, "There is finally something that makes me feel better today."
Wu Mei smiled and said: "You are the emperor, thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness, just reward and punish according to your mood.
However, before that, you must ask this young hero from Kucha City, a famous imperial student in the Imperial College, one thing about Jinchangfang that benefits all people!"
Li Zhi snorted, looked at Yun Chu and said, "You teach Liang Jianfang how to read. In two days, he can write an article called "A Man's Journey"?"
Yun Chu immediately shook his head like a rattle and replied: "At that time, Marquis Yanmen was very drunk, wielding his sword and reciting poems. Wei Chen initially thought he was talking nonsense, but after listening to a few words,
I immediately felt something was wrong, so I found pen and ink to copy it down, and then I wrote "The Man's Journey". To be honest with Your Majesty, when I heard the song "The Man's Journey", my blood boiled, and I wished I could go to the battlefield again and rebuild the Tang Dynasty.
New work."
Li Zhi took a breath of cold air and said to Wu Mei: "Is it really the old killer who recited it drunkenly?
Can an old killer who doesn't know a few Chinese characters really recite such a popular poem?
But yes, this poem is only better in terms of momentum, but it is far from being smooth and neat."
Wu Mei did not answer. She didn't know whether she felt pity for Yun Chu or for some other reason. Instead, she pointed to the streets deep in Jinchangfang and said to Li Zhi: "Since you are here to worship your mother today, Your Majesty has a lot of time, so you might as well go there."
It’s also good to take a walk around this small market and get a feel for the people.”
Li Zhi stood at the intersection of Fangshi with squinted eyes, looked around and said: "There is something strange that cannot be described."
Wu Mei smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you might as well experience it slowly. This feeling is a rare experience for your Majesty."
Yun Chu looked at Wu Mei's back gratefully. He really didn't know what he had done to make this person spare no effort to help him.
Unfortunately, Wu Mei couldn't see him, only the fat kid was looking at him, drooling, and shouting "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh" with his legs up and down, as if talking to him.
Li Zhi stepped forward, and the two rows of warriors quickly retreated forward. The advantage of this was that it would not block the emperor's sight, and at the same time, it could also ensure the emperor's safety. This routine was too familiar to them.
Li Zhi has very good hands. He likes to pull out bamboos. The bamboos that have just sprouted some fibrous roots will come out when he pulls them out hard.
He threw it on the ground and said, "It was just planted."
