- Chapter 104 Seven Apertures
It was not Mo Xidao who slapped Wang Ding from the second floor, but Hou Wenji. Others didn't even see clearly how he got in front of Wang Ding, how he raised his hand, and how he hit Wang Ding and flew away like a cannonball. And just as people were surprised, a shout on the street shocked everyone to the point of being at a loss what to do.
"Your Majesty is here!"
For people in Keshengju today, their originally peaceful hearts are being impacted again and again.
Many of the border troops and diners lost their center of gravity and fell to the ground. Before they could get up, they heard the words "His Majesty has arrived." There is no doubt that it is more shocking than a thunderbolt. For the first time in eleven years, Emperor Tianyou appeared in front of the people at such a close distance. Compared to his father, Yang Yi is so low-key that it makes people sigh. When the late emperor was in power, he liked to pay private visits incognito. He also often led civil and military officials to inspect various places in Chang'an, and appeared in the eyes of the people with high profile from time to time.
And Yang Yi rarely left the palace in the eleven years since he ascended the throne.
The emperor¡¯s sudden appearance was not accompanied by a large group of people. With only a few dozen guards around him, traveling seems to be simpler than that of ordinary nobles from wealthy families. He is known as the most low-key and gentle emperor in the history of the Sui Dynasty. From this, we can also see some of the emperor's temperament. Among these entourage, three people seemed to have a good status. Although these three people were the only ones following the emperor, no matter from which angle they looked, they were protecting the emperor.
Walking on the left of the emperor was Luo Weiran, who was dressed in a flying fish robe, and on the right was a red-robed high priest from the Taoist sect. Following the emperor was Su Buwei, the eunuch of the Imperial Study Room.
These three people are like three walls.
These are the three visible ones, and on the roof of Jinkezhai opposite Keshengju, there is an old man wearing light blue brocade clothes, standing there all the time, his cold and arrogant eyes scanning back and forth among the people on the street. Pass.
Hou Wenji, the envoy of Qingya Town, slapped Wang Ding away, and an afterimage appeared outside the door. Almost at the same time as him, Zhuo Buyi also rushed down from the second floor and left Keshengju. Two people stood at the door, one on the left and one on the right, bowing at the same time: "Kowtow to Your Majesty!"
Emperor Tianyou of the Sui Dynasty Yang Yi walked slowly to the door of Keshengju and waved his hand to signal Hou Wenji and Zhuo Buyi to get up. He raised his head and looked at the sign of Keshengju and said with a smile: "The late emperor once said , the crab noodle lion head at Keshengju is better than the ones in the imperial kitchen. Every time I think of it, I want to come over secretly to try it, but I am always busy with government affairs, so I can¡¯t make time.¡±
The owner of Keshengju, who was kneeling at the door, was extremely surprised when he heard these words, but he did not dare to look up.
"Common man Li An, please pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
He kowtowed vigorously on the ground.
The emperor walked up to him, bent down and helped Li An up and said, "The suddenness of my arrival makes you all uncomfortable. Everyone, please get up. I will feel uneasy if it disturbs the people's purity."
He glanced at Hou Wenji and then at Zhuo Buyi.
"Hou Wenji, why didn't anyone tell me you were here?"
The emperor asked in a calm tone, but Hou Wenji's heart tightened suddenly. He met Luo Wen secretly in Keshengjuli, but Luo Weiran and others did not know about this. He even kept it a secret from Zhuo Buyi, and the only one who knew about it was Liu Duxiu, the divine eye. But even Liu Duxiu didn't know why Zhuo Buyi suddenly appeared. He didn't say hello to Zhuo Buyi when he mobilized the group of guards. The mobilization of Feiyu Pao was originally within his scope of authority.
But when Zhuo Buyi came, he seemed to have known what would happen to Kesheng Juli.
"I was drinking here with General Xiao Luo today, and I just happened to catch up."
Hou Wenji lowered his head and answered. The emperor hummed and did not ask any more questions. As he walked into the lobby, he looked at Zhuo Buyi on the other side and asked: "Buyi, when we were almost here, I heard Luo Weiran say, you just used Use the ground as a prison?"
Zhuo Buyi nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I have used it."
"Pity"
The emperor said with some regret: "You're a step too late. I've wanted to see your ability to create a prison for a long time. It's too lateit's actually too late."
As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed. It seemed that he was really sorry that he didn't see Zhuo Buyi's methods.
Before the emperor entered, the people in the room were already kneeling on the floor. After walking into the lobby, he looked at the mess in the room, and then at the kneeling frontier soldiers. His eyes finally landed on Wang Ding, who was knocked unconscious by Hou Wenji's palm. The emperor's face looked slightly unhappy.
"Who is this person?"
He pointed at Wang Ding and asked.
Liu Duxiu, who was standing on one side with a bow, quickly said:The head said: "Your Majesty, I am Wang Ding from the Wang family in the south of the Yangtze River. He is also a student recruited by the Yanwu Academy this year. His father is Wang Yishan, who once served as a fourth-grade county magistrate. This man is the eldest son of Wang Yishan. When he was young, He has a reputation for talent in the Jiangnan area."
The emperor hummed, walked to the middle of the hall, raised his hands in vain, and said: "Get up, all of you, you are all good men who are willing to sacrifice your lives and blood to defend my border. I originally wanted to choose a day after you arrived in the imperial capital. , let the Ministry of War invite you all to Changchun Garden, and I will personally serve you wine to thank you for your great military achievements for the country! Since we are here today, I will borrow a bottle of wine from Keshengju and give you a toast!"
The emperor didn¡¯t ask about today¡¯s affairs, he only talked about the merits of the frontier troops!
What this means is already very clear.
Luo Weiran smiled slightly, thinking that His Majesty was about to express his position. It is about to use troops against the northwest, and it is impossible for His Majesty to punish the soldiers at this time. When he thought of this, he suddenly realized that since the last recruitment of students in the Yanwu Academy, His Majesty had decreed to select outstanding talents from all armies to enter the examination. Now it seems that His Majesty was already preparing for the use of troops at that time. Your Majesty's scheming is too terrifying.
Hou Wenji glanced at Luo Weiran with some doubts in his eyes.
Luo Weiran just smiled and said nothing.

Feiyupao from the Ouchi Guards Department cleaned up Keshengjuli as quickly as possible and rearranged the tables and chairs neatly. The boss of Keshengju personally went to the back kitchen to keep an eye on it, and a row of more than a dozen large stoves were all busy. None of the chefs dared to slack off. They were like clockwork-loaded robots, working hard to cook.
The border troops were all sitting around the table, all of them uneasy.
The emperor sat at a table in the middle and waved to Zhang Kuang and Mo Xiandao to sit next to him. The two border army commanders, who had never been afraid of going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, were trembling slightly when they sat next to the emperor. Especially Mo Xiandao, who had been tricked into almost killing someone before and was now sitting at the same table with the emperor. The contrast was so great that he couldn't adapt to it at all.
"You told Mo Xiandao, I know."
The emperor smiled and said: "I am very clear about the Dong Chu incident. The court cannot give you too generous praise openly. I have always felt that I owe you something. Last winter, I specially ordered the Ministry of War to let them There is no need to discuss military merit by writing your name into the list of students for the Martial Arts Academy examination. Moreover, I have already discussed it with Dean Zhou You can enter the Martial Arts Academy directly without taking the exam."
Mo Xiandao was startled, then stood up quickly, took two steps back and knelt on the ground: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The emperor smiled and said: "It is I who should thank you. It is you who guard my country, resist foreign enemies, kill barbarians, clean up grass bandits, and strengthen the military. I mentioned this to several important officials in the DPRK a while ago. , we will double the salary of the border soldiers. This matter has been handed over to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs for verification, and it should be announced to the world soon. "
He asked people to help Mo Xidao up and said: "I also know that you may have a lot of resentment in your hearts. Many things done by the court are not satisfactory and may be unfair, but you should believe me and give me time." , I will dig out all the unfair things bit by bit, just like removing the cancer from the body, leaving nothing behind. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the border soldiers knelt down again and kowtowed in thanks.
The emperor smiled, signaled everyone to get up, and said to them: "Some people are arrogant and arrogant because their family background is slightly better. There were hundreds of millions of people in the Sui Dynasty, but such people were still a minority after all. The reason why they are domineering and arrogant is because I feel like there is a so-called famous family behind me, and someone is supporting them.¡±
"But today"
The emperor stood up, glanced at all the border troops and said word by word: "You must remember that they have a backer and there is nothing to be afraid of. They are just pretending to be powerful. You also have a backer, and your backer is the most solid and solid, and that is me! This family and that family, I want to see who is bigger than the Yang family!"
These words were heard in all directions.
The hearts of these border soldiers were burning, so warm that they almost wanted to scream for joy!
¡¡
¡¡
Hou Wenji hummed softly, approached Luo Weiran and frowned slightly: "Your Majesty seems to have gone too far in what he said today. If it spreads, it will inevitably cause some people to be dissatisfied."
Luo Weiran curled his lips and said: "When His Majesty first came to the throne, everyone thought that he was the gentlest among all the emperors in the past, so it was inevitable for a wealthy family to be domineering, but since the case of Jiangdu's Qiu familywho dares to think so? The people below still don¡¯t know that Your Majesty is going to use troops against the northwest.Thinking that he is from a declining family, he doesn't know how high the sky is. At this point, how could His Majesty not speak for the military? "
Hou Wenji shook his head and said: "I still feel that Your Majesty takes these border troops too seriously. After all, the court still relies on important ministers and nobles."
Luo Weiran rolled his eyes at him and didn't answer.
Hou Wenji smiled helplessly and said: "You know I don't mean to look down on the children of poor families"
"Who can easily figure out what the Holy Will is? Have you ever calculated that the three previous emperors together did not kill as many people as Your Majesty, but people still think that Your Majesty is very gentle. Just for this reason who can do it?"
Luo Weiran shook his head, not wanting to dwell on this topic any longer. Hou Wenji hummed, looked at the extremely moved border soldiers, and couldn't help but murmured: "Perhaps, I really can't understand your Majesty's thoughts. However, several years have passed since the Qiu family's case, and there are some records People who don¡¯t remember to fight have forgotten about Tianwei. The Jiangnan Wang family haha."
The meaning behind his sneer was even colder. Before the emperor came, he really just wanted to stand by and watch. It was not a bad thing for him to have trouble between the border troops and the children of the aristocratic families. Only when some situation always happened could the Ouchi guards not appear to be doing nothing.
And His Majesty came, so he immediately slapped Wang Ding and sent him flying out.
¡°He has been favored for so many years because he can always make choices at critical moments.
"How many percent of your cultivation did you use to break open the painted ground as a prison?"
After a moment of silence, Luo Weiran couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
Hou Wenji smiled, but said in a calm tone: "Buyi didn't try my best, and I didn't try my best either. But maybe Buyi is also guessing, I must have used up a few percent of my cultivation level."
Luo Weiran nodded, thoughtfully.
The two of them talked in low voices, while in the distance, Zhuo Buyi ordered two Feiyupao to carry the unconscious Fang Jie out of Keshengju. After placing Fang Jie on his carriage, he sat down on the carriage and held Fang Jie's hand. solution wrist. After a moment, Zhuo Buyi's eyes suddenly changed.
This young man¡¯s body was as hot as if he was being roasted on a fire. His naked skin, exposed outside his clothes, showed a strange red color, as if blood was flowing under the skin, ready to come out. Moreover, his whole body was as hard as iron, and there was not even a single dent when his fingers pressed against his skin.
Zhuo Buyi pinched Fang Jie's wrist and concentrated on sensing the strangeness in his body.
"Seven orifices?"
He murmured to himself: "What's going on?" - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
