Shen Gong Ji

For several days, the little emperor came to me every day to learn basketball.This kid is quite talented. From the beginning, he couldn't even shoot the ball to now he can make six or seven out of ten three-pointers. It's a godlike progress...

Do smart people learn everything quickly?Then a good-for-nothing like me can only be half-baked at everything.

In fact, maybe it’s not that I’m too useless, but that I have a physique that attracts a lot of people... From childhood, my buddies have grown up. One of them is either a magician Olympiad champion or a young football player. I met someone when I was playing on the basketball team in college. My buddy turned out to be the president of the student council, and the most annoying thing is that each one is more handsome than the other, and each of them has developed in an all-round way in that country. In such a miserable environment, can I not feel inferior?Can it be big? ?Can you not be an old virgin? ? ?

Hey... Every time a beautiful woman asks me to help pass a love letter to a buddy, my heart is bleeding! ! !

As a result, until now, I have traveled to such a society where the world is harmonious... If I had a weaker heart, I would have wiped my neck long ago...

Thinking about it this way, my vitality is really tenacious to a certain extent...

"What are you thinking?" A hand suddenly waved in front of my eyes, and I came back to my senses.It seems that he was in a daze for too long, and the little emperor woke up...

After lunch, he came to me to play basketball, and later said he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, so I let him sleep on my bed.I was not too sleepy, so I just sat by and read a book for a while.

There are novels in their world. Although they use the style of vernacular novels in the Qing Dynasty, and they are in traditional characters, they are all understandable to a liberal arts student like me.However, the content is a bit boring. They are all hero biographies or something. It is not as nonsense as online YY novels, which seems less passionate...

"Reading?" He sat down on the stool opposite the round table and grabbed my book.

"Ah... actually in a daze..." I answered honestly.

"The biography of the parachutist? This is the story of General Du Qiandu." The little emperor casually flipped through a few pages, "So someone has already written a book for him?"

"...do you know this parachutist?"

"Isn't he Du Ruo's grandfather?"

A random sentence, but it completely surprised me...

Du... Du Ruo's grandfather? !

Parachutist? !

I opened my mouth wide, and glanced at Du Ruo, who was quietly waiting in the outer hall, looking a bit stooped.

Just kidding...

"Is he the general's grandson?!" I lowered my voice and stared at the little emperor and asked.

"That's right, but his family is in decline now, otherwise there would be no need to send Du Ruo to the palace." The little emperor picked up a piece of snack from the plate and put it in his mouth, "Why are you so surprised? Think about it, serve me The palace servants naturally have certain backgrounds."

This background is really quite big...

The parachutist described in the book is a legendary person.At that time, Yan State could be regarded as a poor and weak country. Originally, Qi State could take Yan State without any effort as long as Qi State joined forces with Xia State in the south to attack, but Du Qian led thousands of cavalry to adopt surprise attack tactics. In just one month, all the armies of the Qi Kingdom were wiped out, and finally they had to retreat temporarily because the losses exceeded expectations.

Although the novel is suspected of being exaggerated, it looks like he must be a world-famous general, right?

I really can't get in touch with Du Ruo...

"Du Ruo is timid, probably like his father, who is Du Qian's son. But his elder brother Du Leng is very much like his grandfather. He is brave and good at fighting, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is the dream lover of many generations." the emperor continued.

"He has a brother?"

"You have seen his brother, he is the Hussar General who captured you."

Once again, my eyeballs almost popped out.Is that the very manly silver-armored general? !

Kissed a father... Sure enough, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, one father can really give birth to completely different sons...

But speaking of it, I am still very curious about how the children here come out?Could it be born by a man...

"Juntian, I have decided to return to Beijing the day after tomorrow." The little emperor said suddenly.

"Back to Beijing? So fast? Aren't you supervising the battle?"

The capital, does that mean you are going back to the palace?

If you go back to the palace, will it be difficult to come out again?When will I see the old patriarch again?I'm a little worried.

"Qiguo suddenly agreed to peace talks. Emperor Taiya has already agreed." He said, as if talking about an unimportant matter.

Emperor Taiya refers to the "wife" of the little emperor's father.Their country seems to call their lover a companion. After all, there are no women, so there are no such titles as wife or wife.The only thing that is the same is the title of the emperor's wife, which is the same as the original world called "Queen".But if the emperor dies and the new emperor ascends the throne, then the original queen will become the "Huang Yafu".

These are what Du Ruo said.Although he didn't tell me more, I vaguely feel that this little emperor has no real power in his hands.

After all, generally speaking, with the body of the emperor Wan Jin, it is absolutely impossible to go to such a remote fiefdom as Beichuan to supervise the battle.It is said that the little emperor's trip this time was the intention of his emperor's father.

If Yafu really loved him, would he be sent to this kind of place?

Hearing what he said this time, it seems that his Huang Yafu is indeed the one who holds the power of the Yan Kingdom.Whether it's war or peace, it's all his Huang Yafu's words.

Thinking of this, looking at the little emperor in front of him, I began to feel a little distressed again.

Such a smart kid is just a puppet emperor.

Hey... Since I have to enter the palace no matter what, there is no other way. I believe the little emperor will find a way for me to meet the old patriarch.After all, he promised me, didn't he?

Inexplicably believed in this half-old child.

I stretched my waist pretending to be relaxed, "That's great, I can't wait to see what the palace looks like~"

"Juntian." He sighed a bit maturely, "When we return to Beijing, I hope you will not change."

Change?change what?

I looked at him inexplicably, and felt that what he said was really a bit illusory.

Not only this sentence, but even his eyes became a bit like the sunset floating on the water, a little blurred and unclear.

It's beautiful, but I don't know why it makes me feel a little flustered.

He sat for a while and got up to leave.Then, until we left for Beijing the day after tomorrow, I never saw him again.

Although the journey back to Beijing was long, I didn't find it too hard to enjoy the beautiful mountains and rivers outside.Speaking of which, the environment in ancient times was really good. Even when the sky was overcast, there was a dense and clear feeling between the clouds, unlike the modern gloomy sky, which is like a quilt, wrapped in people's eyes. I can't breathe.The green of the wilderness has different colors in the middle, which is so vast that it seems to connect the end of the world. The holy white on the mountains in the distance is the icing sugar sprinkled in the clouds, and is reflected by the sky. Different colors such as blue, purple, golden, yellow and red.There are also those quaint streets, the closely connected ancient houses, the graceful eaves that fly obliquely into the sky, and the exquisite and lifelike wood carvings of doors and windows.

It's a pity that I don't have much chance to go out. Every time I get off the car, I go into the hotel, and I can't even leave the house for dinner.

It would be fun if we could have a good time playing outside.

After walking like this for about a month, I found that the road became smoother and wider, and the scenery on both sides gradually turned into connected fields, with scattered farmers, and occasionally old cattle pulling the plow could be seen in the fields.Two or three wisps of cooking smoke slowly rising in the distance set off the tranquility of the whole world.

The mighty royal guard of honor somewhat disturbed the tranquility. I saw all the village names kneeling on both sides, kowtowed their heads to the ground, and saluted their supreme emperor.

It seemed that I was about to arrive in the capital, and I didn't know why I became a little nervous.

The imperial city...the place where the emperor lives...

I seem to have just realized that that little kid is an emperor, and everything I see these days, including those farmlands, those mountains and rivers, and those grasslands, belong to him...

Such a supreme person... I actually taught him how to play basketball... and talked to him like that...

It seemed that the closer I got to the center of power, the more I felt an invisible pressure shrouded in all directions.Everyone has become more cautious.When Du Ruo was in Beichuan, he still laughed sometimes, he was pretty when he smiled, but since he entered the capital, he became more taciturn, more respectful and humble.Not only him, but all the palace people seem to have lowered their heads, bent their backs, and no longer dare to talk and laugh loudly. It is obviously such a huge motorcade, but when it is moving, there is no other sound except the sound of wheels crushing stones. .

I feel that the whole atmosphere has changed. The unrestrained and free atmosphere that permeated the air and raindrops that seemed to extend to the end of the world that I felt when I was in the grassland gradually dissipated.Instead, there is a kind of tension, a kind of cautiousness.

Then, on a certain morning, I saw the capital of Yan Kingdom—Lujing.

It was a city wall, a city wall so tall that it seemed that it could go all the way into the blue clouds, extending left and right and seeing no end.Huge granite rocks are stacked one on top of the other, with icy tones, they look so solid that they cannot be blasted even with cannons.There are five gates that are tens of feet high, the middle one is the tallest, and there are two shorter ones on each side, but even those four short gates are extremely majestic.The soldiers guarding both sides of the city gate are like tiny blades of grass under the mountains, setting off the majesty and magnificence of the imperial city.

The three-story eaves-roofed building on the city tower reflects the rising sun in the east, as if it is a giant that is gradually waking up.The golden glazed tile roof is dazzling, and the auspicious beasts on the eaves raise their heads and look up at the sky.

This gigantic city stands proudly on the plain, overlooking the ends of the earth, and all the towns surrounding it are as small as dust.A long river meanders from the end of the land, and slowly bypasses the capital. The water flow is gentle and wide, irrigating this fertile land, and adding a little gentleness to the majesty and solemnity of this giant.

I saw a contingent of ministers and soldiers greeted outside the city gate.Ministers wear official robes of different colors, including red, blue, dark green, and purple, which are probably distinguished according to their ranks. The official hats on their heads are made of black yarn, with two long sticks protruding from the back. The iron wings are somewhat similar to the official hats of the Song Dynasty, but they seem to be slightly shorter than those of the Song Dynasty.

The mighty guard of honor spread out in front of the city gate, forming a colorful sea of ​​people. The officials bowed down like a tide and shouted long live the emperor.Their voices awakened the silent world, and echoed over the city gate for a long time.

The convoy stopped for a while before moving on.When passing through the city gate as high and wide as the sky, a strong sense of timidity suddenly rose in my heart.

With such a thick city wall, it is almost impossible to escape, right?

It feels like you've entered a place from which you can never get out.

But it was too late to regret.The wheels are rolling over the flat white floor tiles, and the wide and tidy street in front of you is spreading all the way forward, like a straight white jade belt, leading people to the endless distance without any mistakes.The pavilions and shops on both sides are all taller and more exquisite than the ones seen before, layered on top of each other, high and low, like an endless forest spreading on the ground.The green glazed tiles shine brightly in the sun, and the bright red lacquer pillars, depicting gorgeous peonies, lanterns of stunning beauties, and brightly colored paintings on the walls stand quietly on both sides of the road.The people also lay quietly on the ground, separated by the human wall formed by soldiers.

Where the convoy passed by, the people shouted long live the emperor, their voices contained reverence and humility, and the tense feeling that even their breathing was controlled made people feel a slight tightness in their chests.

The little emperor was unattainable to these people, like a god, but they didn't know that he was just a half-grown child.Why be so afraid of a child?

I peeked out from the gap in the car curtain, and felt even more strongly that I was out of place with this world.

In this world, people are divided into three, six, and nine classes... I, a good-for-nothing, didn't do well in the original world. In such a world with strict hierarchy, can I really survive...

What if I become an ant that is trampled to the ground?

This wide and flat road runs through the square and symmetrical Lujing, and leads to the imperial city at the end - Majestic Palace.

I have already heard Du Ruo describe the city within a city, Majestic Palace.As Dayan's imperial palace, the Majestic Palace is the most sacred and noble place.The palace covers an area of ​​more than 200 mu, which is larger than the Forbidden City. There are 81 main palaces, and there are countless small and medium-sized palaces, pavilions and gardens. get lost.Some people live in the palace for a lifetime, but they can't see all the scenery in the palace.

Hearing what he said so magically, I am now looking forward to it.

The chariots and horses drove past tall vermilion gatehouses. I counted them, and there were about nine in total.The further you go, the scenery on both sides of the street is gradually changing.From the original bustling and bustling scene full of shops, it has gradually evolved into a sparsely populated scene, but the buildings on both sides have become taller and more exquisite, with three or four-story pavilions everywhere, exquisitely painted walls, and the railing carved with hollow patterns. There are beauties to lean on, and there are tall towers distributed far and near, and the overlapping eaves of the towers are intertwined with each other.Plants also gradually increased, and both sides of the avenue were full of acacia trees, and the light pink velvet flowers lightly touched the treetops like haze, and the sweet aroma permeated the air.

After passing the last city gate, I couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Even though I grew up in Beijing, every time I look at the Forbidden City from the pavilion on the top of Jingshan Mountain, I still feel infinite wonder from the bottom of my heart.Such a vast palace is like a man-made jungle, neat and majestic and extravagant, making one unable to imagine a more magnificent palace in this world.

But even the Forbidden City can't have such a magnificent gate in front of it, can it?

My first impression of the gate of the Majestic Palace is that it is so high that even if it is hundreds of meters away, you have to raise your neck to see it all.Such an overwhelming height turned everything under her feet into dust. Even our mighty convoy might be like a strand of hair.There are nine city gates of almost the same size, only the middle one is taller and more spacious than the others, and each one is so majestic that it makes people awe-inspiring.The cinnabar-red city gate stretched out to both sides, and there was a protruding tall tower every other section. The two turrets in the distance looked quite tall, even though they were so far away, the three-story cornices were still clearly visible.On the main city tower in front of you, the green three-story glazed tile roof is supported by complex bucket arches, and the lower part is decorated with simple and elegant patterned baffles. On the huge plaque, there are three big characters written in vigorous calligraphy, "Nine Luanmen" ".

Behind Jiuluanmen, the Majestic Palace is quietly located in front of this noisy city, like a beautiful queen who has experienced the baptism of countless years, with a scornful smile, overlooking the Infinity Pass Mountain spreading in front of her.

I still haven't recovered from the feeling of being overwhelmed. The car suddenly deviated from the original convoy and drove along the tower to the left.I don't understand what happened, the little emperor's chariot has already entered Jiuluanmen, why does my car go to another place?

It took me a while to realize that the main entrance of the ancient people was not open to everyone...

Realizing my status, I suddenly felt like I fell from a high place.Before that, I always felt that I was equal to the little emperor, and it was only now that I truly felt the difference.

The chariots and horses went all the way, the endless city walls finally came to an end, and they turned around the turrets that were as far away as the horizon just now.There is also a tall city tower on the west side of the imperial city. Although it cannot be compared with Jiuluanmen, it is quite similar.Of the three city gates, only the left one was open, and my carriage drove into this gate.The rich doors on both sides are studded with copper nails, and the long door openings are covered with bright sunlight shining from the end.The ground seems not so smooth, and the body shakes slightly.

After leaving the city gate, there is a long and wide alley behind.On both sides are tall cinnabar red walls, covered with green glazed tiles, and covered with snow-white bricks and stones at the bottom.The sky was also cut into a long strip by the two high walls, and there was a silent sky blue, and the scene behind the wall could not be seen.

The endless long alley, I don't know where to go... I don't know why I feel a strong depression.

The car stopped suddenly, and I heard Du Ruo say outside, "Master Yang, it's time to get out of the car."

The car curtain was lifted, I gathered my dark green shirt with large sleeves, and climbed out of the car.

When I got out of the car, I saw a court lady wearing a long gown with a red silk skirt and a straight skirt standing in front of me, holding a folding fan with long red tassels in his hand.His appearance is very delicate, a bit like a Western doll made out, his hair is tied in a bun on the top of the mountain, and two long red silk ribbons hang down from the bun.The palace servants behind him were all in similar attire, but the material of the clothes did not seem to be as good as his, and the hem was also of a duller color.

It seems that this is the uniform of the waiter?

"You are Yang Juntian?" The palace man looked at me expressionlessly, and his tone was quite cold.

Looking at his appearance, why did I think of my best friend of the student union chairman... He also has a dead face...

"Ah yes... I am..."

"I am Hong Yao, the chief manager of Yongxiang. Before you are canonized, I will arrange your daily necessities, and I will also teach you the rules of the palace." He spoke at a leisurely pace, but lacked emotion, and sounded rather intimidating force.I listened honestly, and unconsciously felt that my head was lowering. In the end, my chin was basically attached to the collar...

"Yes……"

"Come with me. Du Ruo, you report to the Department of Internal Affairs first."

"Yes." Du Ruo responded obediently, glanced at me, and then left.

"You all go to work too." He dismissed the others, and then walked forward.I hurried to keep up, the big-sleeved shirt behind me on the ground restricted my movement, so I had to hold the hem of the robe in my arms and trot behind Hong Yao.

"I heard that you came from northern Xinjiang. I don't know what the customs are there, but since you entered the palace, you have to follow the rules of the palace. This palace is very different from your backcountry, there is a slight difference..." As he said, he turned his head slightly to look at me, with a threatening look in his eyes, and at the same time scratched his throat with the folding fan in his hand, "It's a head off."

I somehow got a cold war...

Drop... head off... so serious...

The first time I found a job, when I first joined the company, a senior warned me that if I made a mistake, I would lose my job, but this time I was threatened directly with my life... This pressure is really not ordinary...

I can't even keep my job... As for my head...

I wiped the cold sweat off my brow...

Must not go wrong!

"You look honest, I'll give you three words." He stopped looking at me, and stared straight ahead, "Don't listen, don't look, don't say."

Don't listen, read or talk?Wouldn't that be Helen Keller...

"In this palace, how many people have died, I can't count them." He said, raising his head slightly, as if he was looking towards the sky surrounded by the north palace wall, and his tone was slightly sighing, "They all died because they didn't Do these three things."

...Okay...I'm not just shivering now, I even have goosebumps...

Don't listen, don't read, don't talk...you must do it!

Suddenly, Hong Yao's footsteps stopped.I followed his gaze and turned my head, and saw a small door appearing on one side of the long palace wall, vines grew out of nowhere and wrapped around the white doorpost, and the verdant green almost covered the small plaque on the door Living.Surrounded by green leaves on the plaque, there is the word "Yongxiang". With the careless shaking of the leaves, it seems to be changing shape accordingly.
