Luodu, Zhongzhou, stands between the rivers and the world, endowed with the majestic and majestic spirit of the Central Plains, and possesses the charming and romantic quality of the water town in the south.
Surrounded by mountains on all sides, Folai Mountain in the east, Baiyun Mountain in the west, Zijin Mountain in the northeast, and Longtan Mountain in the north; three rivers surround the city, the water of the Great River in the south, Luoshui in the west, and the mysterious Yunmeng Daze outside Zijin Mountain in the northeast.
On the Shenwu Continent, in the thousands of years of history of the Chinese people, Luoyang, the capital of Luoyang, has become the capital of gods envied by both heaven and man with its great beauty of heaven and earth. In terms of geographical location, it borders the Jianghuai River in the east, Guanlong in the west, Youyan in the north, and Jingxiang in the south. Therefore, all dynasties and dynasties have been the battleground for the princes and heroes to compete for the Central Plains, and it has become the most important political, economic and cultural center in history. Because of this, it has the name of "the mountains and rivers are arched and worn, and the shape is better than the armor in the world". The world praises it as "there is no two under the world, and there is no parallel hero in the four seas".
The Huangfu Dynasty inherited the legal system of the Chinese people and followed the imperial capital of the previous dynasty. After several repairs over the past few hundred years, the scale of Luodu became even larger, and the imperial palace became even more majestic.
Under the sunlight in the afternoon, the area is resplendent and magnificent, but at this moment, the majestic palace is only at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and this is a palace with an extremely quiet environment.
It is said to be quiet because it is far away from the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, and it was built on the hillside of the back hill of the imperial palace, but the architectural style is still magnificent and luxurious.
On the platform outside the palace, several ministers stood here, and were stopped here by a young eunuch in blue robes. The expressions on the faces of the visitors were all different, but a prince in a python robe who rushed in front of the crowd The look is the most excited.
"What did you say? Father is unwell? It's fine if father doesn't go to court, but he still doesn't allow us to see him. Motianling conspired to rebel. The evidence is solid, but the court has not acted for a long time. In vain let the warriors in the world see the joke of the court. The official memorials are piled up high, but the father doesn't read any of them, and no one sees them... What's the matter?" Huangfu Taiming almost roared to talk to the little eunuch in front of him, but the other party seemed arrogant and ignorant , It almost made Huangfu Taiming slash him with a knife.
But at this moment, bursts of melodious music and the sound of laughing and fighting came from the deep part of the palace behind, making Huangfu Taiming even more furious.
Motianling's rebellion was imminent, but as a result, his father did not go to court for three consecutive months, and the matter of suppressing the rebellion was not dealt with at all. How could such a stupid act not make people anxious? Huangfu Taiming followed dozens of court ministers, I kept knocking outside the gate of Jingyang Palace for several days, but I never saw the emperor himself.
"Yo, I don't dare to answer the words of the thirteenth prince. I only dare to reply to the emperor's will. I don't know anything else!" The little eunuch almost rolled his eyes and talked to Huangfu Taiming.
"Bold, how dare you talk to the thirteenth prince like that, a servant of Jingyang Palace?" Xiaodouzi Dou Bao, who was behind Huangfu Taiming, couldn't stand the other party's arrogance, immediately scolded. Relying on the concubine Jin's subordinate, the other party is used to being arrogant in the palace, and it's okay to be presumptuous to the eunuchs and maids of other palaces on weekdays. Unexpectedly, it developed to the point where even the ministers dared to reprimand, and now even the prince is not Put it in your eyes, it's really annoying.
Xiaodouzi stepped forward and scolded, the little eunuch in Jingyang Palace suddenly showed a look of shame and anger, but faced Huangfu Taiming's sharp eyes, he was shocked. This thirteenth prince has always been known for being upright and rigorous Although not as violent and powerful as the fifth prince, but the other party is a prince after all, if he really wanted to strangle himself, it would be no different from crushing a foot bug. At this time, his master was not around, no one was backing him up, there was no need to challenge a prince, and he turned around and told Empress Jin, promising to give him a few pairs of small shoes to wear immediately.
Thinking of this, the little eunuch of Jingyang Palace quickly knelt down to plead guilty, but the anger in his eyes disappeared in a flash.
Huangfu Taiming glanced into the depths of the palace, sighed, and said: "Forget it, since the father is not feeling well, I should not bother you, so I will leave..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huangfu Taiming turned around and left. The other ministers saw that the prince couldn't even see his own father. He was just an official. How else could he see the emperor? All of them left with a sigh.
Huang Futaiming and Xiaodouzi hurried away, Xiaodouzi asked behind the thirteenth prince: "I said master, now His Majesty has been bewitched by others, and you can't even see him, what do you think should be done now?"
"What can we do? The resources available to the entire imperial court can respond to the Ferris wheel. In addition to the army, there are also three departments. 'Wu Xiang' Zheng Zhantang has such an inextricable relationship with Fengyi Pavilion , so the 'Xing Ting Wei' can't be moved, and the 'Royal Attendant' of the great eunuch An Zhongxin is the personal entourage of His Majesty the Emperor, and it is impossible to shake it without the emperor's order; the remaining candidates are only one family, that is Uncle Tai Huang Huangfu Zhexin's 'Shence Palace'... ”
Huangfu Taiming left Jingyang Palace, but the horse handed over by the guards outside the palace gate gracefully turned on the horse and said, "Go, go and meet my fourteenth uncle."
The three guards waiting outside the door were actually Zheng Yunbiao, Xie Yun'an and Guo Yunfei. At this time, the three of them had been in Luodu for more than a month. Usually, Xiaodouzi, who was familiar with the rules of the palace, gave advice. Made a low-level mistake.
At this time, Huangfu Taiming had an order, and the three immediately got on their horses, followed Huangfu Taiming and Xiaodouzi, and a group of five people ran towards the Jingwu District of Luodu at the foot of the mountain. That residential area is all the official residences of the military attache system, but Huangfu Zhexin, who is a relative of the emperor, acts like a general and has been living in this area. Huangfu Zhexin has never married a wife in his life, but he has adopted nine godsons, all of whom are envoys of the "Shence Mansion". Except for the three godsons who are with him to assist in government affairs, the other six are away all year round. Perform secret missions.
Huangfu Zhexin devoted his entire life to maintaining the rule of the Huangfu Dynasty, especially the "Shence Mansion". Since he was ordered to preside over the affairs of the "Shence Mansion", he even moved the mansion After arriving at the back office of the "Shence Mansion", he regards this place as his home, works day and night, and is the magic needle of the royal family. Even today's Emperor Jing'an, Huangfu Jingde, will be respectful and respectful when seeing him. Call him "Uncle Fourteen" politely.
Along the way, Huangfu Taiming was thinking that Huangfu Zhexin, as the oldest member of the imperial family and the leader in charge of the "Shence Mansion", would never sit back and ignore Motianling's rebellion. Now Emperor Jing'an is in Jingyang Palace Enjoyment, the imperial army does not have the emperor's will, who dares to move? To move is to rebel. The Fourteenth Uncle is different, his "Shence Mansion" is a personal soldier of the royal family, and Huangfu Zhexin has the right to use this power without the emperor's consent.
So at this critical juncture, Huangfu Zhexin and the "Shence Mansion" in his hands became the life-saving straw in Huangfu Taiming's eyes.
The straight official road is enough for four carriages to drive side by side. The yamen on the left is tall and majestic. A pair of Tianlu beasts on both sides of the entrance are vigorous and lifelike. Four soldiers in Mingguang armor stand majestically by the gate.
Three large lacquered gold characters of "Shence Mansion" hang high above the lintel.
When approaching the gate, Huangfu Taiming saw from afar the chaos on the other side of the street. Looking carefully, there was a procession of weddings and funerals blocking there.
There are several important places around the government, all of which are the key points of the imperial court. To encounter such a strange thing, naturally there are many soldiers there to maintain order, and these ignorant people will not be allowed to stay here for a long time.
Zheng Yunbiao looked interesting, and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, it's really rare. It turns out that the funerals and weddings of the high-ranking officials and nobles in Luodu are so particular, and such a wide official road can be blocked. It's really an eye-opener."
Xiaodouzi Dou Bao glared at Zheng Yunbiao, signaling to Huangfu Taiming that he was in a bad mood and not to make jokes. Zheng Yunbiao quickly stuck out his tongue and shut up.
Huangfu Taiming was anxious about business, so he naturally ignored Zheng Yunbiao's nonsense. Because he is a frequent visitor of the "Shence Mansion", naturally no one dared to stop him. He hurried into the bright hall of the "Shence Mansion" with four followers. It is said that the thirteenth master is visiting.
As soon as Huangfu Taiming led the four of them into the Ming Hall, he was surprised. It turned out that on the first seat on the right side of the Ming Hall, there was a burly and handsome man sitting there drinking tea. It's just that the other party's every move reveals a free and easy and heroic spirit, just sitting there, the momentum is already heartbreaking.
Huangfu Taiming's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help secretly admiring. At the same time, the appearance and behavior of the other party were so similar to his second brother "Little Eagle King" Zhan Yu, and he couldn't help but feel moved.
As for the big man sitting above, when he saw Huangfu Taiming and others entering the room, he looked at himself in amazement, quickly got up and bowed his hands in salute, and said calmly: "The humble 'Xing Tingwei' Yi Tieqing pays homage to the thirteenth prince..."
"You are Yi Tieqing? 'Tie Ying' Yi Tieqing?"
When Huangfu Taiming heard the other party's name, although he was prepared, he was still extremely shocked.
This Yi Tieqing came from the "Twelve Flying Eagles Fort" in Liangzhou in the northwest. The "Twelve Flying Eagles Castle" is famous not only for "Eagle King" Zhan Xiongfei, but also for several of his closest masters, who are called "Twelve Flying Eagles". It is the origin of the name "Twelve Eagles Fort".
And this Yi Tieqing is the "Iron Eagle" among them.
Back then, he broke away from "Eagle King" Zhan Xiongfei and joined the imperial court, becoming the gold medal headhunter of "Xing Tingwei".
Fast forward several years, Huangfu Taiming unexpectedly met this legendary figure here.
