Kick, kick...
The messy hooves roamed around the intersection, but never moved at all—Sun Shaozong had been wandering for a while at this place two streets away from the Yizhong Prince's Mansion.
Strange to say, even though it was the first time he came back here, he couldn't help but feel a little cowardly at home.
Excited, apprehensive, mixed with indisputable contempt and sympathy for misfortune.
The eldest son of the emperor who crossed into the Great Zhou Dynasty, it can be said that half of his buttocks have already sat on the Golden Palace, but in the end he was stunned because he was banned and women were occupied.
It's even worse now. Even the only illegitimate child was killed by his dead man, and the relics were sent as a birthday gift.
ah~
Crossing is risky, so be careful when pretending!
Sun Shaozong shook his head speechlessly, made up his mind to turn his horse's head around, and headed towards Prince Yizhong's mansion - no matter how he delayed, this imperial edict could never be violated, unless he wanted to go to Prince Tongyizhong as his companion.
However, he said that he saw the next intersection and looked at the majestic mansion from a distance. Sun Shaozong felt less anxious, but his excitement increased exponentially.
After all, this is also the first time the two traversers meet face to face in the world of Red Mansions, and it is very likely the one and only time!
Calling it a historic meeting shouldn't be considered a business blow, right
In a trance, Sun Shaozong seemed to hear the rolling wheels of history, rolling forward, reel and reel.
uh~
It is true that there are wheels rolling, but it is not history, but a truckload of feces.
Being caught in the middle by the irritating smell, Sun Shaozong suddenly sobered up a bit, and before the other party reached the middle of the intersection, he rushed into the street where the Yizhong Prince's Mansion was located.
"who!"
"Stop now!"
It was just a few steps away, when two groups of people suddenly appeared in the lanes on both sides, twelve swords and guns were raised in the front, and twelve short crossbows with four edges of a water were in the back.
Looking at this costume, it should be undoubtedly the Hu Ben Ying under the command of Taiwei Qiu.
"Sun Shaozong of Shuntian Prefecture has been ordered by the sage to come to present a birthday gift to Prince Yizhong."
Sun Shaozong raised his voice to reveal his identity, and at the same time he got off his horse, spread his hands and feet in large letters, and looked like he was going to be checked.
Hearing the words 'Sun Shaozong', the soldiers from the two opposing teams were obviously relieved, but they still maintained their battle formation. Only the two leading officers stepped forward to search for them.
After the two chiefs carefully confirmed that Sun Shaozong was not carrying a murder weapon, they respectfully asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Sun, did you bring any credentials."
"Here, the token is here."
Only then did Sun Shaozong take out a golden arrow from his sleeve and show it to the two generals. It was specially sent by Dai Quan before he left the palace.
He didn't take the initiative to show it just now, nor did he deliberately pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, but according to Dai Quan's instructions, the golden arrow must wait until someone asks before it can be shown as a token.
If you don't know what to do, and take the initiative to show the golden arrow, not only will it not have the effect of a token, but it will be regarded as a counterfeit by a thief, and the arrow will be directly shot into a hedgehog and pulled down.
The two inspectors took turns to inspect and returned their hands respectfully, and then they whistled, and each led the soldiers back to the alleys on both sides.
Sun Shaozong knew that there must be more than one sentry on the street, so he didn't mount the horse again, and just strode forward with the reins.
Sure enough, after this, he passed through two secret whistle after another, and checked it three times like a massage before finally reaching the gate of the mansion.
The soldiers who were guarding the gate understood the purpose of their visit, and not long after that, a thousand households came out to greet him, and directly introduced Sun Shaozong into the palace.
However, this is not so much a palace as a large barracks. There are three steps, one post, five steps and one post. They are all officers and soldiers with helmets and armor, and the servants and maids that should have been in the palace are actually a did not see.
All the way through the house and through the house, before reaching the fourth courtyard, I saw three people standing in front of the Moon Gate, a Jinpao eunuch in the center, and two dragon guards on the left and right.
Seeing that Sun Shaozong was approaching, the dragon guarding hundreds of households on the right hurriedly greeted him with a few steps and knelt down on one knee: "I'm under Liu Yihu, I've seen Lord Qianhu."
Although the Jinpao eunuch did not greet him, he greeted him with a smile.
On the other hand, the one on the left, Baihu, just bowed his hands loosely, and urged with a sullen face: "Since the emperor's order is on his side, let's look at Lingjian first."
Needless to say, this fellow must be from the Nanzhen Government Secretary!
This is the insurance added by the Emperor Taishang to Prince Yizhong, so that the eldest son of the emperor will not be fooled by the sword.
Of course, given how jealous Emperor Guangde was of Prince Yizhong, no one knew that once Emperor Taishang was in the sky, Prince Yizhong would definitely be buried with him, but at least when the old man was still alive, he would never want a white-haired person to send a black-haired one. people.
After going through an unprecedented meticulous search, even taking out his socks several times, Sun Shaozong was finally able to enter the inner courtyard.
Although there are fewer sentries in this inner courtyard, there are still no servant girls.
That Liu Yihu is very discerning, he probably saw Sun Shaozong's doubts, so he explained in a low voice: "I heard that after the Naoshizi hot air balloon flew out last year, the heads of the people killed in this courtyard were rolling, and the lowly post was only transferred after that. came here."
tsk~
It is estimated that the guards at that time were also among the crowd.
The four of them walked and stopped all the way [to deal with the dark whistle], and finally arrived in a quiet courtyard. The leading eunuch in Jinpao summoned a group of five dark whistle, and confirmed that Prince Yizhong was in the house, and then he arranged his clothes. , ready to knock on the door.
However, just as his fingers were about to knock, the door suddenly creaked and was pulled open from the inside.
Immediately, I saw an elderly man with white hair and beard walking out from the inside.
"Xiaguan [slave] has seen the prince."
Liu Yihu and the three were busy bowing and salute.
And Sun Shaozong looked at his ugly appearance with a hunched back, but was stunned on the spot for a while.
Is this Prince Yizhong? !
Is this that senior transmigrator who has a romantic and pretentious temperament? !
The image I sketched in my mind before has collapsed. Is there anything? !
But thinking about it carefully, this may be the result of too much pressure given to him by more than two years of confinement.
After all, not everyone can live and die.
Just as he was sighing, he saw that Prince Yizhong stooped down the steps, but came straight to him.
It was only then that Sun Shaozong reacted, and he was about to bow down to greet him. Who knew that the waist had just been bent down, and a wrinkled hand was already spread out in front of him.
"Bring it."
The dry and hoarse voice, like the hoarse roar just now, really matched the image.
but…
What does he mean by 'take it'
Could it be that when Prince Yizhong was approaching his birthday, Emperor Guangde would also send someone to bring gifts, so as soon as he saw himself, he guessed his purpose.
Sun Shaozong was arranging a suitable reason in his heart, and Prince Yizhong gave him another stick in the head and urged: "Hurry up, it's just a psychic gem, and it's the same as the king's ink."
His words were impatient on the surface, but there was comfort and complacency on the inside.
But Sun Shaozong couldn't distinguish these details at all, because he was completely stunned by this sentence!
How did Prince Yizhong know that he was here to send the psychic treasure
Did someone in the palace leak the secret
wrong!
At that time, besides himself, there was only Dai Quan by the emperor's side - Dai Quan couldn't possibly be Prince Yizhong's person, right? !
Besides, just looking at the dense appearance of this sentry, if there is no order arrow from Emperor Guangde, who can rush to pass the news in front of him
Did you use a carrier pigeon
Not to mention that those bow hunters are not vegetarians, in this blue sky and daylight, if a carrier pigeon falls near Prince Yizhong, I am afraid that it will be discovered long ago!
Can't explain it!
All this is completely inexplicable!
Sun Shaozong stared blankly at Prince Yizhong, his contempt and pity all turned into surprise.
At the same time, he was a little unbelievable. If he really had such unfathomable intelligence capabilities, how did the transmigrator senior in front of him get overturned by Emperor Guangde
It wasn't until Prince Yizhong urged him a few more times that Sun Shaozong took out the psychic gem from his purse as if he was sleepwalking.
Prince Yizhong took it in his hand calmly, looked at it over and over again, and then suddenly threw it back to Sun Shaozong, shaking his head and said, "I'm afraid I will disappoint my brother, Zhou Xi is not my son, I There will be no heirs in this life."
I go!
Even Zhou Xi's death, and even some people speculated that Zhou Xi was his illegitimate son, he already knew!
and…
What does this unequivocal conviction mean that he will be cut off from his descendants in this life
Are you too sure
And there is a clear smugness in his tone - is it still a good thing to cut off children and never grandchildren
Before Sun Shaozong's doubts were resolved, that Prince Yizhong said in a hoarse voice: "It's really difficult for him. When I was a child, I coaxed him to play, and casually said a few trivial things in the Dream of Red Mansions. After decades, I still remember it like this. clear."
"If I had known, I shouldn't have given this jade to Zhou Xi. Although he is not my son, his mother had an incense relationship with me after all... Alas~!"
As he said that, he sighed heavily, then threw his robe sleeves again, and said calmly, "stop, stop, this Jiazi's dream of Red Mansions is about to wake up, what does life and death in this world have to do with me? ?"
"You go back and tell my brother that I'm leaving. If he still has a little brotherhood in his heart, he might as well come with the royal father and send me a gift - I will wait until the 60th birthday at most."
Before he finished speaking, and without waiting for Sun Shaozong to respond, he put his hands behind his back, staggered but seemed somewhat at ease, and walked out along the stone road.
As he walked, he sang in a hoarse voice: "The world knows that the gods are good, but only the fame and fame can't be forgotten! Where are the past and the present? A pile of grass in the barren tomb is gone. The world knows that the gods are good, only gold and silver can't be forgotten! There are not many gatherings, and when it comes to a long time, my eyes are closed. Everyone in the world thinks that gods are good, only the sweet wife... "
This is…
Ready to commit suicide? !
But looking at it like that, it really doesn't look like a person is about to die.
If you really want to die, how can you show the smug, complacent expression just now
It feels a bit like - ready to travel back in time!
Sun Shaozong watched Prince Yizhong drift away, and the singing gradually became inaudible, but the restlessness in his heart not only did not ease, but instead became more clamorous.
Although he may not be willing to travel back now, but if Prince Yizhong really found a way to travel back, he would never want to miss it!
also…
From what channel did Prince Yizhong learn that he was ordered to send the psychic gem
This huge mystery must be solved, otherwise, how should I face Emperor Guangde when I go back to work? !
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong did not hesitate, stepped up the steps, and directly broke into the study of Prince Yizhong!
