Chapter 142 The miserable Qin Gong was granted a marriage by the king
Takeru forty-five years, the third day of September.
Early morning, outside the gate of Kyoto.
A thin, ragged, and unkempt man slowly came to the city gate carrying a wooden stick.
The bright sunshine and the gorgeous morning glow cast the entire city of Kyoto into a heroic and gorgeous picture.
However, this man in this picture is like a stain that people can't help but want to wipe away.
"Where is the beggar from? Get out of here!"
In front of the city gate, the city guard saw the man approaching the city gate and shouted to drive him away.
However, the man stood on the official road in front of the city gate, his eyes blankly in a trance, his eyes filled with unspeakable moisture.
"Woo~~"
He actually cried.
I cried heartbreakingly.
It makes people feel pity when they hear it.
"Okay, okay, don't cry. I'm kind-hearted and I'll reward you with some copper coins. You go over there and buy some food!"
The yamen servant was upset and depressed and threw two copper coins in front of the man.
The man looked at the two copper coins, and a flash of crazy hatred suddenly appeared in his moist eyes.
"Do you know who I am?"
"You actually treat me as a beggar!"
"Dog slave!"
The man was so angry that he raised the wooden stick in his hand and was about to hit the yamen servant.
This person is none other than Qin Gong from Shuzhou.
The distance from Shuzhou to Kyoto is almost more than two thousand miles. If you drive hard, you can complete it in six or seven days. If you ride a carriage, it will take about a month, but if you walk, you don't know how long it will take.
It may take a month or two, it may take a year and a half, or it may even be impossible to reach Kyoto in a lifetime.
After Qin Gong lost his guards and horses, it took him almost four months to walk.
In these four months, he has experienced real suffering in the world.
He had asked the government for help, but after losing his guard, who would believe that a passerby was the king?
Even though he had a high-profile card, the top soldiers and government officials thought he was a liar.
The only person who could confirm his identity would probably be an official of the seventh-grade county magistrate or above, but it was very rare for an ordinary person to see the county magistrate.
After experiencing several drives and difficulties, he had to give up the idea of asking the government for help and could only go on the road alone.
He thought that everything would be fine after returning to Kyoto.
However, how could a pampered prince like him know the dangers of the world?
He sold a horse in Xinning Mansion, but it was stolen before the horse reached Xinning Mansion. Not only the horse was stolen, but also all the money he had on him.
Without horses, he could only rely on two legs. Without money, he could only sell his belongings.
Starting from the jade pendant, he sold almost everything on his body, even his clothes, and changed into a pair of coarse linen clothes.
It doesn't matter that he has no money, he still has to be bullied.
Beggars on the roadside, warriors in the martial arts world, government servants in various government offices, even when he was in Tianzhou, he was taken into prison as a refugee.
If he hadn't had some cultivation and escaped while the government officials were unaware, he might be mining in an unknown mine now.
After such a miserable journey, he finally arrived at the gates of Kyoto.
But the government official guarding the gate in Kyoto actually gave him alms.
This guy is so bullying!
No, it’s too much to bully the king!
"Ah, a little beggar actually dares to mess with me!" When the officer heard Qin Gong's words, he immediately became angry, raised the knife in his hand, sheathed it, and struck Qin Gong.
"I am the king of Nanchang County, how dare you attack me!" Qin Gong said without any sign of weakness, holding his head high and chest high.
In other places, he dare not reveal his identity because no one would believe him.
But this is Kyoto, and not only the princes and princes are everywhere, but the royal family and relatives are everywhere.
As soon as he said these words, the yamen servant couldn't help but hesitate a little, but he soon put aside his hesitation.
There are many royal relatives in Kyoto, but a beggar claims that he is the king of Nanchang County. Isn’t this nonsense?
"You are the Prince of Nanchang County, but I am still Prince Ping!"
Snap!
The sheathed sword hit Qin Gong hard on the back. Qin Gong bared his teeth and said angrily: "How dare you hit me!"
"Go away, if you dare to cause trouble again, I will break your legs!" said the Yamen servant.
Qin Gong was so angry that he hit the yamen servant again with the wooden stick in his hand.
It's just that he was tired and exhausted from walking all the way. Even though he had a fifth-level cultivation, he was extremely weak at this time, and the wooden stick was limp and had no strength at all.
The yamen servant didn't tolerate him, so he grabbed the wooden stick, threw it far away, and then kicked him to the side of the official road.
Seeing this, the passers-by and other government officials showed mocking smiles.
No one cares about a beggar, and no one cares about a beggar.
Qin Gong was lying on the side of the road, holding his stomach with both hands. The severe pain caused fine beads of sweat to break out on his forehead. But he still looked at the yamen servant sinisterly.
At this moment, a luxurious carriage slowly drove out of the city. There were more than a dozen warriors on both sides of the carriage wearing powerful clothes and riding horses to protect them.
The crowd watching the excitement blocked the carriage's path, and the carriage stopped. The surrounding government servants immediately became nervous as they looked at the carriage.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't block the road!"
The gatekeeper shouted quickly.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and a veiled face appeared from the side window of the carriage.
It was a girl. A white veil covered the girl's face, but her bright eyes seemed to attract people's attention like stars.
The girl saw Qin Gong on the roadside, but she just glanced at him and then looked away.
But when she left, she still said in a clear voice: "A beggar, why are you embarrassing him?"
When the yamen servant next to him heard this, he was suddenly sweating profusely, and he bowed repeatedly and said: "Little Wu Zhuang, I have ruined Miss Situ's happiness. Please forgive Miss Situ."
The girl just said a word and left.
The Yamen servant bent down and waited for the carriage to disappear on the official road before lifting it up.
"You are lucky to have met the kind-hearted Miss Situ. Get up quickly." The Yamen servant walked up to Qin Gong and said dullly.
"Who is that?" Qin Gong looked in the direction where the carriage disappeared and murmured in a low voice.
But the yamen servant didn't respond to his interest at all, and urged him to leave quickly.
Qin Gong got up from the ground and said, "I am going to enter the city!"
"You!" the Yamen servant was angry, but considering that the noble people who had just left had spoken, he did not dare to go too far.
"Rolling, rolling, rolling~~"
He had no choice but to let Qin Gong enter the city gate.
Qin Gong finally entered Kyoto City, and after a lot of troubles, he finally returned to Prince Ping's Mansion.
afternoon.
Inside Prince Ping's Mansion.
Qin Gong changed into a suit of brocade clothes. Although his face still looked a little pale, the nobility in his body had returned.
He lay beside Qin Changping and cried aggrievedly.
"Father!"
"Ooooooo, father!"
At this moment, he seemed to want to vent all the grievances in his heart.
It was just his crying that made Qin Changping upset.
"Shut up, your majestic prince, what do you look like crying like?" Qin Changping shouted angrily.
"Father, that bastard Qin Wei is not a human being, he~~" Qin Gong cried, like a resentful woman.
Qin Changping took a deep breath, and he also understood the grievances Qin Gong had suffered along the way.
In fact, he sent people to find Qin Gong two months ago, but he never found him.
However, he had been busy fighting Qin Changan in the court, and had no intention of paying attention to Qin Gong's life and death.
Qin Gong was his son, but he was not his only son. Compared with the throne, Qin Gong, his biological son, seemed less important.
"Shut up!" Qin Changping shouted coldly.
Qin Gong was shocked, his crying stopped suddenly, and he stood tremblingly in front of Qin Changping.
Qin Changping couldn't help but feel a little unbearable when he saw how thin he looked.
After all, this is his own son, and as a father, he is still a little heartbroken.
"My father knows all the grievances you have suffered."
"Get up!"
Qin Changping said with a gentle expression.
"Thank you, father!" Qin Gong stood up. Although his eyes were still filled with grievances, he did not dare to continue crying.
After Qin Changping pondered for a while, he said: "It's almost time. Tomorrow, my father will submit a petition to remove Prince Xin'an from his official position in the Zhenwu Division."
When Qin Gong heard this, he was immediately surprised.
"Yes, yes, remove him from his official position and see if he still dares to provoke me!"
Qin Changping took a deep breath and said: "The situation in the court has been a bit complicated recently. You should take good care of yourself at home. When you are well, you can come and help your father."
Qin Gong nodded quickly and said, "My child is willing to share the worries of his father."
"Okay, go down and rest."
Qin Changping patted his shoulder and said.
After a lot of fuss, Qin Gong finally calmed down and returned to his yard to rest.
…
The next day, after morning.
Emperor Li sat in the study with a tired face.
His face was getting older and older, and his spirit seemed a little weak.
"Your Majesty, this is the memorial sent by Prince Ping!" Eunuch Lu placed a memorial on the desk.
Emperor Li opened the memorial, glanced at it, and said, "What interesting things happened in Kyoto these two days?"
Eunuch Lu lowered his head and said, "The Prince of Nanchang County came back yesterday, but he looked very embarrassed when he came back. There was no guard around him, he was just like a beggar."
"Yeah!" Lihuang raised his eyelids slightly.
Eunuch Lu laughed and said, "It is said that the government officials guarding the city gate refused to let him enter the city and beat him up. If Miss Situ hadn't passed by and said something, he might not have been able to enter the city."
Emperor Li chuckled lightly.
It is ridiculous to say that a county prince cannot enter the gate of Kyoto City.
However, Emperor Li knew very well why Qin Gong ended up in such an embarrassing situation.
"What actions has Prince Xin'an made recently?" Emperor Li asked.
Lu Gonggong said: "Since Li Ru and Yuwen were transferred from Chengdu, Prince Xin'an spent the whole day traveling in Shuzhou and did not do anything special."
"Oh! He didn't win over officials from Shuzhou?"
"No! Prince Xin'an has not returned to Shuzhou City for four months, and has not met the newly appointed officials in Shuzhou City." Lu Gong said.
Emperor Li sighed softly and said, "I feel wronged by him."
Although he has been suppressing Qin Wei, he still thinks of Qin Wei in his heart.
When the Zhenwu Division was established, no one in the civil or military dynasties dared to take over. Only Qin Wei, a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, stood up.
After the Zhenwu Division was established, it first suppressed the warriors and sects in Kyoto, then suppressed the martial arts forces in Tianzhou, and now it has expanded to the entire Dali.
These achievements were recorded by Emperor Li on Qin Wei's head.
"It's almost time for him to get married!"
Emperor Li thought for a while and said: "The decree is to remove Prince Xin'an from his post in Zhenwu Division, promote Zhuge Zhengwo to be the commander of Zhenwu Division, and crown Prince Xin'an as Prince Rui for his meritorious service in establishing Zhenwu Division."
"Situ Qianxue, the daughter of the city lord of Beiyuan City, is crowned with a majestic crown. She is chaste and natural, and has a well-mannered manner. She is named Princess Rui and the clan is ordered to arrange a wedding for Prince Rui in Shuzhou as soon as possible."
"Here!" Eunuch Lu responded.
…
October thirteenth.
Inside the city of Danlian Mansion.
In an exquisite courtyard, Qin Wei knelt in front of the incense table to receive the imperial edict.
After the father-in-law who came to announce the decree finished reciting, Qin Wei stood up.
"Congratulations to Your Highness, congratulations to Your Highness!"
The person who came to announce the decree was Eunuch Xiaoluo, the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Qin Wei was also an acquaintance with him. When he was in Kyoto, he had gone to the prince's mansion many times to run errands for Emperor Li.
"Eunuch Luo, thank you for your hard work!"
Qin Wei smiled and winked at Xiao Shunzi next to him.
Xiao Shunzi immediately gathered together, hurriedly called for dozens of money bags, and delivered them one by one to everyone who came to announce the decree.
Weighing the money bags, the smiles on everyone's faces became even brighter, and the congratulations became much more sincere.
"Your Highness, several adults from the Zongren Mansion will arrive in two days. Your Highness will have to receive you well then." Little Eunuch Luo reminded.
Qin Wei nodded slightly and said, "I understand!"
"Then don't bother Your Highness!"
"Xiao Shunzi, please take Eunuch Luo to rest first."
Qin Wei didn't stay with Eunuch Luo too much and said.
After everyone left, Qin Wei's expression immediately became solemn.
He walked quickly back to the study, where Zhao Gao was already waiting for him.
