Chapter 122 Chapter 122
After Huang Yuan's house was ransacked, everyone in the Ministry of Rites stood under the dangerous wall, and they were in constant panic.Huang Yuan's confidant assistant, Sun Zhimiao, was even more cautious. Above the court, he stopped talking too much, and under the court, he kept a low profile and kept silent. He never left the house if he could leave the house. He also made everyone in the house like him, but silence did not Representing a compromise, Sun Zhimiao kept thinking of ways to send the news of Nian's return to Wanshi Port, but Qin Li'an's investigation was too strict, and Sun Zhimiao's men also lost as many as seven or eight people.
The right minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was originally high-spirited, is now much more decadent. There are no memorials to report on the desk that he works hard every day. Like most scholars, he chooses to express his frustration in another way, so the desk is full of Calligraphy, if you look carefully, most of them are copied from Du Shaoling's poems.
"Master, it's getting late." The housekeeper of the Sun Mansion said looking at the oil lamp that was about to go out.
"Add more oil." Sun Zhimiao repaired the nib, that was his favorite pen, and now the nib is almost dry.
"It's getting dark, and the candles are so lonely that it's hard to light up. It's hurting your eyes, sir." The housekeeper said again.
Perhaps literati always feel deeply sad. When the butler said this, he thought of himself and his colleagues. Now that Li'an is the emperor, it is like this moonless night. to extinguish them.
"Forget it, go to sleep." Sun Zhimiao was a little helpless: "I don't know how Mr. Huang is doing in prison? It's already cold and the quilt is enough."
"Sun An," Sun Zhimiao said to the butler, "Tomorrow, bring some thick bedding and some extra money, and say that you are a distant relative of the Huang family, and see if you can bribe the jailer."
The butler nodded: "Yes, sir."
"Let someone fetch water, I'm going to rest too." Sun Zhimiao said, he knew that he alone would not be able to recover, all he could wait for was Zhaoyang to bring the people from Wanshigang back, and Zhou was one blue sky.

Jiutian is as huge as a hill, and it is unrivaled on the sea. Even if it came to Wu'an Port alone, no ship dared to stand in front of the car, and the deck of Jiutian was full of people. Brave and uniformly dressed, they are wearing silver armor, with the best swords in Japan around their waists, all of them have fierce faces, if not for the white filial belts tied on their heads, those who don't know would think that this is an invasion Port up.
Seeing such a situation, Zheng Qi was still a little helpless. Although Gu Ruyang came alone as promised, the pressure on Wu'an Port by Nine Heavens was too great, so Zheng Qi had to go out in person, so the largest lucky boat in Wu'an Port Zhenbei was also released, but it was still too small before Jiutian.
Finally, there is a ship that dares to stand nine days ago.
Gu Ruyang also walked onto the bow of Jiutian's ship, and she looked down at the Zhenbei ship opposite.
"Master Zheng, I can't enter the port because of your boat blocking the front." Gu Ruyang pretended to be embarrassed: "Didn't your majesty tell me to come earlier with Zhaoyang?"
Qin Li'an was afraid of Gu Ruyang's deceit. After all, the pirate had no opponents at sea, so he specially arranged for Gu Ruyang to arrive at Wu'an Port by only one boat before noon.
"Master Gu, you have already entered the port in Jiutian, please change to a boat here to go to the pier." Zheng Qi is afraid of Jiutian and all the pirates on Jiutian, if Gu Ruyang changed the boat, at least the threat would be reduced a lot.
"Master Zheng, are you so afraid of me?" Gu Ruyang asked loudly, and all the pirates in the Nine Heavens laughed. These pirates armed to the teeth are still a group of unruly sea eagles in their hearts.
Zheng Qi doesn't dare to touch Gu Ruyang now, but he has long wanted to kill her in his heart. If Gu Ruyang doesn't get off the boat, this will be the most difficult thing for him.
"The new emperor has new rules, of course there are new rules. When entering this Wu'an port, you need to disembark. There are hundreds of warships in our port. Are you really afraid that you will fail?" Zheng Qi shouted.
Gu Ruyang raised her beautiful eyebrows, and said to Zheng Qi: "Since the new emperor's measure can only accommodate a small boat, then I will take your small boat to go there, but Zhaoyang is the eldest princess of the Zhou Dynasty, and you are also Knowing her high status, I sent a better boat over."
Zheng Qi was so stunned by Gu Ruyang's words that he didn't know how to answer. After all, this ordinary soldier didn't know about the battle between Qin Li'an and Zhaoyang. Gritting his teeth, he followed Gu Ruyang's orders.
Not entering the port for nine days is actually in line with Gu Ruyang's wishes. After all, the ship is like a fish caught in a net when it docks. It will only be slaughtered by others. After Gu Ruyang disembarked, he retreated to ten nautical miles outside the port for nine days. It can also be regarded as advancing and retreating freely, without restraint.
After getting on the pier, Zheng Qi also prepared the carriages and horses early. There were Habayashi guards on the left and right sides of the carriage. It was obvious at a glance that they were sent by the palace. After Zhaoyang and Gu Ruyang boarded the carriage, these Habayashi guards Immediately stood in front of and behind the carriage, and sealed the carriage tightly, but the Gu family had already made preparations, Habayashi Wei just walked out of Wu'an Port, and the brothers from the Wanshi Chamber of Commerce also came on horseback. There is also a filial belt tied on the top, Habayashi wanted to drink this group of people away, and then Zhaoyang's government soldiers also rushed here, although they were dressed differently from the pirates, but they also wore a filial belt on their foreheads, and I don't know who it was The news was released in advance, and the two teams had a tacit understanding.
Habayashi Wei Zuoshi who took the lead was also dumbfounded. There were twice as many people as himself, and these people only followed the car and did not attack him, so the leader had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward.
Crossing the outer city, walking through the middle city, and finally arriving at the inner city, the more you go in, the heavy atmosphere is always strong. The peasants in the outer city did not feel sad about the sudden death of the emperor. They should still go to the fields and repair houses. The craftsmen in the middle city may have felt the changes in the situation more deeply than the residents outside the city. White veils were hung on the door of each shop to express their condolences to His Majesty, but the faces of the people However, they are not so sad. Perhaps more frowning comes from guessing about their future. The increase or decrease of taxes will directly affect their emotions. Finally, there is the inner city, where all the dignitaries live. , this is also the closest place to the emperor, everyone is almost expressionless, Zhaoyang did not see a smile here, the emperor died suddenly, and he is still in the period of mourning, whoever dares to be happy, it is a great sin , Zhaoyang looked at those inner city people with expressionless faces, but she knew that some families were happy and some were sad. Those who had to bend their waists when walking must be the real frustrated people. The ascension of the throne keeps their masters or the people they cling to away from the center of power, and they can't lift their heads up, and the other guys with their hands behind their backs and their eyes looking straight ahead, although they are also frowning, but their hearts should be Great joy.
"That's Mrs. Sun's home." Gu Ruyang looked out through the curtain on the car. Sun Zhimiao is also a big family, but now the house is closed, and even the plaque on the Sun's house is no longer so glamorous. .
"Yes." Zhaoyang said: "I don't know how the lord of the Ministry of Rites is doing now."
Gu Ruyang also had a rare pessimism on his face: "I guess I'm also terrified."
"That Ru Yang, are you afraid at this time?" Zhao Yang asked back, Gu Ru Yang is now accompanying her back to the city, it can be said that it is an act of shaking a tree, after a while, they entered the palace gate, and when the gate was closed, the two of them Life and death are unknown.
"One day if you don't make a living on the edge of a knife, you will have seen through life and death." Gu Ruyang immediately changed his words: "But I'm still afraid."
Zhaoyang smiled, she took Gu Ruyang's hand and said: "Ruyang, don't be afraid, if there is any danger, I will protect you."
Of course, Gu Ruyang took Zhaoyang's words as a joke. How could Zhaoyang be able to face swords and swords, but he followed Zhaoyang's words and said, "Then I will give my life to my wife."
Sure enough, after a while, they arrived at the gate of the Longevity Palace. When they entered the gate, they were all guarded by Habayashi, Zhaoyang's soldiers, and people from Gu Ruyang Wanshi Guild Hall were all blocked from the gate.Gu Ruyang also stopped the convoy, and she called over the leader of the Wanshi Guild Hall, which belonged to Du Yong, and Gu Ruyang handed a letter to the leader.
"Go back and let your boss take a look."
Fantou took the letter, looked at Habayashi Wei who was staring at him all around, and put the letter into his arms with a resolute face.
"Don't worry if you're in charge, the younger one will definitely be brought."
Gu Ruyang patted that head on the shoulder: "Thanks for your hard work."
Saying that, Gu Ruyang jumped back into the carriage and followed Zhaoyang resolutely to the depths of the Longevity Palace...
According to the rituals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the former emperor passed away and the new emperor should be filial piety for the rest of his life, so the palace of longevity is still white, with white veils hanging on every door, and the palace people also wear filial cloth on their arms. The first emperor was a lively Therefore, the palace is always noisy. On weekdays, each chamber has its own program, and the concubines in each palace also watch some excerpts when they have nothing to do. Today's palace is dead silent, even the sound of birdsong I can't hear them all, only the desolate sound of the north wind blowing across the earth.
Qin Wuyong's Zigong Chen is placed in Yongshen Palace, which is his favorite place to deal with government affairs. It is heavily guarded there, and no one can easily enter it except those appointed by the East Palace. But today it is a little lively, because the new emperor Qin Li'an today Here, naturally Chu Han also followed
On the left and right, there was no trace of grief on the faces of the two monarchs and ministers. Qin Li'an even sat on Qin Wuyong's Zigong, tapping the coffin lid rhythmically with his fingers.
"This coffin is really exquisite." Qin Li'an said: "My father searched for several years to find such a good coffin."
Chu Han said, "Since the late Emperor liked it so much, why does Your Majesty not let him use it?"
Qin Li'an's face turned cold.
"After all, he is my father. He tried his best to make me the prince. I just want to get back the lost land."
"Your Majesty's filial piety." Chu Han lowered his head and said, on Qin Li'an's invisible face, there was a gritted expression. All his plans were ruined by this stupid prince.
"His Majesty……"
At this time, one of Qin Li'an's personal guards broke the conversation between the monarch and his ministers.
"when?"
"The eldest princess has entered the palace."
