After Chen Ziqi left, Emperor Tiande walked back and forth anxiously in Zichen Palace. He thought that Chen Ziqi was favored in front of Dan Yi, and it would be easy to find "Xiao Shao Jiucheng", but he couldn't say anything at all.
Luo Hongfeng said that there is a big secret hidden in the score of "Xiao Shao Jiucheng". As long as you find Qi Jiuzhang, it will not be a problem to stabilize the country and rule the world. Let's not talk about the matter of unifying the world, the world is now dominated by the sects, and it is almost impossible to become the unified world in the Taizu era. What he urgently needs now is to stabilize the country.
The snowstorm in the capital was much bigger than Jianyang. Emperor Tiande pushed open the gate of Zichen Palace and was immediately hit by snowflakes all over his face. This year's winter was particularly cold, and it was no wonder that the Huns were anxious to send envoys to ask for food.
Heavy snow covered the vermilion glazed tiles of the imperial palace, standing at a high place to see the expanse of white. Only one thing is different, that is the Taizhen Palace where the national teacher lives. The bricks and tiles used in Taizhen Palace are different from other palaces and look quite conspicuous.
In the Taizhen Palace, Lan Xiang, the new national teacher, was sitting by the fire, combing his beard slowly.
"Oops." Lan Xiang let out a soft cry, causing the attendant next to him to turn his head to look at him, only to find that the National Teacher had broken a beard.
The waiter turned his head in surprise, and looked at the heavy snow outside the door with a dull face.
In the past, when Lan Jiangxue was a national teacher, he would either play the piano elegantly every day, or watch the stars in the Xingxing Pavilion, that is the real master. Now this one is better, he spends two hours a day taking care of his beard, another two hours blowing suona, and sleeping the rest of the time.
Lan Xiang hid the beard in the palm of his hand. After a while, the beard turned into a blue feather with sparse branches. He tucked the hair into his sleeve and sighed slowly, "Old, old, I used to be old. The hair... the beard, that is the thickest in the clan, the patriarch gave me the word Unxian because it is too beautiful."
The waiter twitched the corners of his mouth. The most prosperous beard is the most beautiful? The Lan clan's thinking is also a bit strange.
Seeing that the waiter ignored him and didn't care, Lan Yunxian put down the delicate jade comb and took out a finely crafted suona from the Duobao grid. When he was young, he liked to play the flute, and he often stood on the top of the steepest cliff in Yushan and played it. Now that I'm old, my ears are back, and I just blow some lively things.
So, when Emperor De stepped into the Taizhen Palace that day, he heard the very loud tick-tick suona sound, which was quite festive. At first glance, he thought that the Taizhen Palace was doing a happy event, and the blue veins on his forehead suddenly began to jump.
"Stop blowing!" Emperor Tiande roared as he walked into the hall.
The servants in the Taizhen Palace saluted one after another. Only the national teacher was still intoxicated and playing the suona. It was not until the emperor walked in front of him that he realized that someone was coming. He slowly put down the suona and stood up to salute.
Emperor Tiande waved his hand, and when he saw the slow look of the national teacher, his heart burst into flames, "How are you preparing for the miracle?"
This year, the Huns came to worship, and Emperor Tiande wanted to take this opportunity to perform a miracle to shock the Huns.
In previous dynasties, the Xiongnu invaded the Central Plains almost every year. After Dazhang established the country, the Xiongnu were intimidated by the gods and gods, and they did not re-offend for several generations. Only in the past hundred years, the royal family has been weak and the border has been unstable, and the Huns have begun to move again. This time the Huns said they were coming to attack, but in fact they were coming to explore the truth, and they had to be deterred.
"What?" Lan Xiang put a hand by his ear and leaned in to listen carefully.
Emperor Tiande took a deep breath and said loudly, "Miracle! How is it!"
"Oh, the emperor is talking about miracles," Lan Xiang asked the emperor to sit down with a smile, slowly poured him a cup of tea, and said in a voice as old as a desert bell, "Da Zhang's God , is the Phoenix God who matches the blood of the royal family, the emperor should be clear in his heart that you are not the orthodox emperor chosen by the gods, but…”
Emperor Tiande immediately stopped the national teacher and said, raised his hand and waved back. All the servants in the hall immediately retreated and closed the door of the hall.
Lan Xiang felt a little pity he couldn't see the snow scene, and sighed.
"You've said this many times, so I don't need to stress it again..." Emperor Tiande said in a loud voice. Every time the national teacher is asked a question, the national teacher has to repeat that he is not an emperor selected by the gods, so this is not allowed and that is not allowed.
"Ah, yes, the emperor is not an orthodox emperor chosen by the gods, but was chosen by power, so miracles are impossible," Lan Xiang continued to complete his words, "so the emperor should stop demanding old people. , even if the old man is sacrificed to the sky, the miracle will not happen."
"I called Lao Qi back," Emperor Tiande narrowed his eyes, stared at the national teacher's eyes, and said in a low voice, "In Zhanghua Palace, apart from Zhen, only Lao Qi and Lao Shi lost cherries. New Year's Eve To sacrifice to the sky, I will bring Lao Qi with me, so you can use it as much as you can."
If Chen Ziqi is the person chosen by the gods, then Zhang Huatai will have a miracle. Of the two of them, one must be. Once you find this person, arrest him and imprison him under Zhang Huatai forever!
Lan Xiang frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "What did the emperor just say?"
"… "
The special envoy of the Huns entered the palace, and a palace banquet was held in the palace to wash away the dust.
Early in the morning, Eunuch Yuan asked someone to bring a set of the prince's dress and instructed Chen Ziqi to put it on. Chen Ziqi looked at the set of clothes, it was more than delicate, but not thick enough. Although there was a thin layer of velvet on the inside, the outside was made of nine layers of tulle. Wearing this set of clothes to walk in the snow, she had to freeze. .
"There are earth dragons in Chunhua Hall. If you wear too thick clothes, the prince will probably sweat." Yuan Eunuch explained with a smile.
Earthworm? Chen Ziqi raised his eyebrows. There are very few palaces with earth dragons in the entire palace. Basically, there are only the emperor's bedroom and the small warm pavilion in the palace of the empress dowager. Now they have built a hall with earth dragons, which is really extravagant.
After putting on new clothes, the palace maid would fasten him a girdle embroidered with gold threads and inlaid orbs, hang a three-pendant jade pendant, and then put on the nine-layer tulle jacket, which was very ornate.
Chen Ziqi pouted, is it true that Dan Yi was right, Tian De was going to take himself to kiss, right? Thinking like this, he couldn't help laughing. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the palace maid beside him laughing, and turned his head to tease her: "What are you laughing at? But do you think this king is too handsome?"
The palace maid immediately blushed and lowered her head in a low voice: "Your Highness Zhilan Yushu is unparalleled in elegance, the servants are disrespectful, and I hope Your Highness will forgive you."
"You speak so sweetly, how can this king blame me... Ouch!" Chen Ziqi suddenly exclaimed in exclamation halfway through.
"Your Highness?" The palace maid was taken aback.
Chen Ziqi coughed lightly and waved his hand, indicating that he was okay, and asked the palace maid to bring the cloak, and he was going to go to the banquet. When the palace maid turned around, she immediately flicked the small hair ball in her arms through the fabric. This little bastard just pecked at two points on his chest with his sharp beak, it was really itchy!
Dan Yi was kicked in the ass and twisted in dissatisfaction. Because of the high girdle, where he is standing now, he can reach the tender little cherries as long as he raises his head. Hearing Qiqi teasing with the palace maid, he pecks him punishingly.
Seeing that the little red bird was honest, Chen Ziqi put on a thick cloak and went out to Chunhua Hall.
The snow on the palace road had already been swept away, revealing the damp and cold bluestone slab below. Raising her hand and tucked her collar, Chen Ziqi raised her head to look at the luxuriously decorated Chunhua Hall not far away, and shook her head secretly.
Emperor Tiande arranged for the special envoy of the Xiongnu to have a banquet in the hall with the earth dragon. It was not a sign of national strength, but it was a display of arrogant wealth, not bloodthirsty weapons, which was not a good thing.
The little red bird swayed in Chen Ziqi's arms, looked up at the little red cherry, smacking his lips, still wanting to eat, but afraid of being kicked, so he opened his bright yellow mouth and gently put a small one. Cherry took it and shook her tail happily.
Chen Ziqi's footsteps stiffened for a while, and seeing that the little red bird did not move further, then he continued to walk forward with the prince's frame, gritted his teeth secretly, and plucked the little broken bird a thousand times in his heart.
In the main hall, the earth dragon was really burning, warm as spring, and Chen Ziqi sat in the first place to the left of the emperor's attack, next to the prime minister. The positions of the Hun envoys were arranged on the opposite side, and several tables were still empty.
The prime minister had already changed people from the Liuhe sect, with the same arrogance as Luo Hongfeng, and greeted Chen Ziqi with a smile. Chen Ziqi had not seen this person before, so he exchanged a few words.
"I heard that among the Xiongnu envoys this time, there is a Xiongnu prince, but is it true?" Chen Ziqi asked curiously.
The prime minister stroked his beard and said, "The sixth prince of the Xiongnu is here. This time, he is here to ask for the marriage of the princess of my dynasty. Naturally, he will bring the prince to us to see."
and pro? Chen Ziqi glanced at the smug-faced prime minister, wishing to give him a punch. Dazhang is already weak enough to be close to the Xiongnu, what's so exciting about him
It was really pointed out by Dan Yi that the Huns came to choose with their relatives. I don't know which sister Tiande was going to send to the desert.
Just thinking about it, the guard outside the door announced that the Hun messenger was coming. Chen Ziqi turned his head to look over, and saw a group of big men with beards, surrounded by a young man in black leather strong suit with a machete hanging around his waist.
That person should be the sixth prince of the Xiongnu, with a high nose bridge and deep eye sockets. At first glance, he looks like a foreigner. It is reasonable to say that he looks good, but the little braid and the colorful beads on his body destroy his temperament.
The sixth prince felt Chen Ziqi's sight, and looked at him sharply. He was stunned when he saw it.
