Shuoyun Feidu

The fragrance in the main hall was delicate, and the tea in front of him was exuding curling heat. Beitang Zunyue sat in the large pear blossom wood chilong-patterned chair, looked at the blond-haired and blue-eyed man in front of him, and said calmly: "... ...Do you have anything to tell me?"

Bi Dan smiled when he heard the words, and slowly put his hands on his lap, with a calm expression, only a sliver of a fair smile, and said: "Dan originally thought that the King of Han might reject people thousands of miles away." Beitang Venerable narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a ray of light in his pupils. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, as if it could pierce through anything. He only raised his eyebrows, snorted softly, and said: "...Why would this king want to pierce through anything?" Is that so? It doesn’t matter if you talk about political affairs or love affairs with me, it’s not a big deal, so why should I avoid it!” Bi Dan smiled when he heard that, although his eyes were very calm, he was facing Beitang Zunyue at this moment. After all, I was happy in my heart, and I also keenly felt that the other party did not dislike me, so I couldn't help but feel better. I couldn't help but said softly: "Dan sees that the King of Han is about to ascend the throne, so he feels and admires... It has only been a few years since the formation of the army, but now it has swept the world and controlled the Central Plains, and the King of Han is only a few years older than the Dan, such an achievement is always impressive."

Beitang is the most powerful man in the world, although he did not start from scratch, but he is indeed amazingly talented, like a dragon rising from the abyss, until now, no one in the world has the qualifications to challenge him... Beitang Tang Zun Yue heard the words, raised his sword eyebrows, narrowed his golden phoenix eyes slightly, and there was a hint of sharpness in his words, he smiled coldly at Bi Dan, and said: "...this king is not for some reason. If you succeed, you will become benevolent. With the power of the unshakable fortress at the beginning, if you continue to fight hard, no matter which side wins in the end, you will not be able to survive. The Beitang family will only die, let alone this Wang Shangqi is the future and life of countless people in the Unsheltered Fortress, once there is an incident, he can only fight a bloody road, even if the battle ends in a single soldier, he will fight to the end." Bi Dan's eyes moved, and his eyes flickered With a blurred halo, he only smiled at Beitang Zunyue: "The king of Han is very right. At the beginning, the father and Dan were also on the verge of death, so they had to go." When Bi Dan said this, he stood up, but deeply He glanced at Beitang Zunyue carefully, and then said softly: "...My father is getting old now, Dan is now in Huzhi, although there are brothers who are secretly at work, but with time, it must be possible to do things, but The King of Han will be the ruler of the world in the future, although Dan is not talented, he thinks that he will be helpful to the King of Han, and he is worthy of matching, I wonder what the King of Han thinks?"

As soon as these words came out, they were talking about a naked interest relationship. In fact, for people like Beitang Zunyue and Bi Dan, the affairs of love and moon will not occupy a really important position for them after all, only political ones. Benefits are the key point... Beitang Zunyue didn't speak at first, as if he was appraising the sincerity of the other party's words, and then suddenly chuckled, that half-smile expression deepened, his eyes flicked around On Dan's face, there was no expression of joy or anger, only thoughtful, and then suddenly the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he gave a light smirk, there was a hint of arrogance and domineering in that smile, and he said: "It's also worth it. Matching'... If you are a woman and take the whole falcon as a dowry, why is this king accepting you into the palace? Unfortunately, you are a man. Could it be that you want to imitate what my son Rongdu did in the palace and do it for this king? Can the king succeed?"

Beitang Zunyue's words sounded a bit insulting, but those who have met him would know that this was not a deliberate insult. In life, when things happen, I will not make any excuses, and I will not have any scruples. I always just directly express what I want to say, what I want, and I will do it directly, and I will not deliberately cover up my thoughts Compared with desire, he will not intentionally complicate things. Compared with it, he obviously prefers to go straight to the point.Hearing the words, Bi Dan seemed to be dazed, lost his mind for a moment, but soon raised his eyes again, his eyes flicked across Beitang Zunyue's face, stared deeply at Beitang Zunyue, and then leaned slightly , the expression was calm and unwavering, unable to distinguish between happiness and anger, the smile on the brows was as faint as the sun, and seemed to be dumbfounded. It's no blessing to bear it." Beitang Zunyue's eyes were slightly golden, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and he stopped the smile that seemed to be a smile, and said: "...If this is the case, what do you do? Could it be that I am asking for the king's one-night happiness!"

Beitang Zunyue's eyes are vast and deep, making it impossible to guess whether the next moment inside will be a stormy sea or a calm sea. Hearing this, Bi Dan smiled helplessly, knowing that the man in front of him has no dislike for him, but at the same time, It is really difficult to deal with it to the extreme, and many methods cannot be used, but he himself is not easy to deal with, so he does not have the slightest hint of discouragement, on the contrary, his fighting spirit is even more aroused... Thinking about it for a while , Bi Dan didn't change his face, but still gathered his spirits, and dealt with Beitang Zunyue with a smile. The two had different thoughts about each other for a while, but they were still very peaceful on the surface. Going up the branch, I saw Bi Dan coming out of the inner hall, led by a few servants outside, and went out of the palace.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

On January [-]st of the first year of Hongjing, it is auspicious and suitable for sacrifice.

At this time, the sky is only twilight, and the eastern sky is only beginning to show a twilight color, and even the shadow of the moon has not completely disappeared. In front of the bed, he said softly: "...Master, in another hour, it will be an auspicious time. It's better to get up and wash up, and don't miss the time." Ping woke up, and seeing dozens of servants standing in front of the bed, he sat up slowly, his mind cleared up, and then he breathed a sigh of satisfaction, and asked casually: "Is the car ready?" Ping smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to help Beitang Rongdu get up, and said: "What day is it today, how dare you miss the important event of the Lord." As he spoke, he motioned for a group of servants to come forward to serve Beitang Rongdu to wash and change clothes.

Today is the enthronement ceremony of Beitang Zunyue, during which a decree will be made to confer the title of king on Beitang Rongdu, so right now Beitang Rongdu is using the prince's costumes supervised by the House of Internal Affairs, waiting for an elderly palace official to wear it for him. After combing their hair carefully, several people next to them held up sixteen jewel crowns inlaid with red gold jewels from the tray. For the hairpin, which weighed about twenty catties, it was worn firmly on the top of Beitang Rongdu's head. Then, Beitang Rongdu was put on a gauze lining and layers of brocade clothes, and then covered with real gold. Silk embroidered four-claw auspicious dragon and cloud brocade formal suit, two dragons soaring over the sea to cover the knees, multicolored ribbons, wide sleeves and wind, gold headbands, buttons and lanyards, wearing blue satin felt-lined soap boots, all dressed up, a lot of work After getting down, it took half an hour to finish changing clothes. At this time, the sky was already bright, and Beitang Rongdu used a few snacks to pad his stomach, and incense all over his body. Led by two rows of eunuchs, they boarded the Seven Fragrance Chariot and headed towards the imperial palace.

Along the way, Beitang Rongdu lifted the curtain from the car and looked at the many palaces and pavilions in the imperial city from afar, but felt a little bit of a sudden feeling in his heart, like a dream, remembering that since he was reincarnated, The experience of meeting and reunion for more than ten years, after several setbacks, the past happened one after another, vividly in my mind, and now, under the emperor of the extreme, assisting the Beitang clan to seize the Central Plains, changing the fate of countless people, and at the same time Determined the general trend of the world in the future, thinking about it at this time, it is inevitable that it is somewhat dreamlike... At this time, the car has passed the Taimiao and Shejitai, and arrived in the inner imperial city, slowly moving forward, Beitang Rongdu Seeing the magnificent halls lined up one after another, the sound of drums and music could be heard faintly not far away, indicating that the time for the official ceremony was almost here. Beitang Rongdu smiled slightly, knowing that since then, the Beitang family's country has at least passed away. With three or four hundred years of vitality, it is only because Beitang Zunyue is the founding monarch of the country, and he did not usurp the imperial power from someone else. The long-term accumulation is intertwined, occupying a lot of interests, and even controlling the tyrannical forces, which will inevitably cause conflicts with the new imperial power, but this is not the case with the founding monarch like Beitang Zunyue. The entire empire was built by him, not only The royal family is very powerful, the monarchy is stable, and it has long been linked to the fate of the noble families around it. Therefore, the various powerful groups will firmly support the royal family for their own interests. In this way, after experiencing Beitang Zunyue and Beitang After two generations of Rongdu, even if the monarch of the third generation is not a man of great talent or grandeur, as long as he has the ability to be conservative and moderate, he will not be prodigal, and there will be no major incidents that will shake the foundation of the dynasty. It is a foundation that has been laid down for at least hundreds of years.

Beitang Rongdu was meditating all the way without saying a word. When he thought of this, the car gradually stopped. Seeing this, Beitang Rongdu withdrew his mind, adjusted his clothes a little, and was helped out of the car by the eunuch beside him. , stepping on the red carpet covered with gold embroidery, which is more than a hundred feet long, and slowly walked to the gate of Qianying Palace. At this time, thousands of people kept their voices quiet and silent. Outside the gate of the palace, with mixed feelings in my heart, I pulled up my clothes and knelt on the ground for a while, only to hear a deep bell ringing, followed by another, the sound resounded through the sky, went straight into the clouds, and spread far away, lingering and lingering , since the auspicious time has come, and at the same time the five musics are playing together, the ceremonial officer sang loudly: "Let's drive--" the voice fell, and the North Hall Rongdu had already walked towards the gate of the palace and said respectfully: "...Please move your toes, Your Majesty. !"

After a while, the gate of the palace opened wide, and the slowly opened Zhanggao Zhumen seemed to gather bright light from the sky and the ground, making people almost unable to open their eyes for a moment. Beitang Rongdu was kneeling on the ground, narrowing his eyes slightly, Looking at the tall figure that appeared inside the door, today is the time when Beitang Zunyue reached the peak of his life. He is wearing a twelve-pronged crown, a red belt on his chin, and a long necklace. Emperor Dagon, Long Fu, Bo Dai, the black formal clothes are painted with all kinds of seals, without any extra folds, covering the knees, wearing a ribbon, the skirt is pressed down, the long train drags the ground, and the bottom of the robe is embroidered with Jiang Ya The pattern of sea water symbolizes the so-called "mountains and rivers stretching for thousands of miles". There is no expression on the face under twelve o'clock, and there is no wave or movement on the face. The color does not change after all, which is a manifestation of the absolute peace of the heart without external objects tied to the heart, followed by 120 warriors.Beitang Rongdu raised his head, and the blackness of that color came into view. At the same time, Beitang Zunyue turned his face slightly, and took a panoramic view of Beitang Rongdu who was kneeling outside the door with a clear and handsome look. At this moment, the father and son are not close to each other, but everyone around suddenly realizes that the two faces are so shockingly similar, they have almost the same distant mountain eyebrows, the beautiful phoenix eyes, and Jaw Jielie, even the straight and solemn arc of the thin lips at this moment seems to have no difference...

Beitang Rongdu suddenly felt a strong and direct emotion in his chest, attracting him to just quietly and straightly look at Beitang Zunyue who was not far away in the emperor's costume, maybe even if he didn't remember anything at this time, Still can't forget this man in imperial clothes, and remember all the complex feelings in my heart towards this man... Beitang Rongdu paused, and suddenly indulged himself to fade the solemn expression on his face at this moment, bit by bit A smile overflowed, Beitang Zunyue saw this, first he was slightly taken aback, and then at an angle that other people couldn't see, he parted his lips slightly, showing a rare gentle smile, and then stepped out of the palace door, right here For a moment, thousands of people around knelt down in unison, shouting long live, and an eunuch stepped forward to help Beitang Zunyue's elbow, but Beitang Zunyue just waved his hand calmly, signaling to this person He stepped back, and then stretched out his right hand in the direction of Beitang Rongdu. Beitang Rongdu stopped, then got up and walked forward, with a solemn expression, and very naturally supported Beitang Zunyue.

Under the wide and thick sleeves, Beitang Zunyue wore a huge green gold Zhanlongdanzhu ring between Beitang Zunyue's slender white index finger, which was warmly placed on Beitang Rongdu's hand. He tightened his father's sleeve tightly with his fingers, and when he raised his eyes again, there was a faint color of joy between his thin lips, and the father and son walked slowly on the red felt that was more than a hundred feet long, as if in a trance Walking forward, for a moment, Beitang Rongdu didn't know why, but suddenly felt that maybe it would be good for life to stay at this moment forever... Amidst the sound of drum music, Beitang Zunyue suddenly turned his head slightly, and looked at Beitang Rong beside him Du glanced, a smile flickered on the corner of his lips, and said slowly: "...Since I took over the Unsheltered Fort when I was more than ten years old, and now, no one dares to walk side by side with me like this." Tang Rongdu said softly: "...The power of the monarch is granted by heaven, the monarch is an only husband, otherwise he wouldn't be called 'I'." But...you always can."

For a while amidst the long and heavy bells, Beitang Zunyue finally stepped across the red carpet and walked up to Yuyu. After Beitang Rongdu helped him to the top, he dropped his hands and stepped aside. Not long after, Yuyu was stable Steadily lifted, Beitang Rongdu was helped onto the Qixiang Treasure Chariot, and followed behind the imperial driver. Along the way, the gates of the Jiuzhong Palace were slowly opened, and six thousand forbidden troops continued to come out, all wearing silver armor and holding five-color golden dragons. Forty small flags, two Cicuihua flags, two golden drum flags, eight door flags, one sun and moon flags, and countless colorful flags for stars, four seasons, five mountains, auspicious animals, purple flags and red flags, big banners stretching to the sky, five During the chorus of music, the flags fluttered in the wind and fluttered, before leaving the palace gate, there was a depressing and solemn atmosphere everywhere, waiting for the holy driver, all because of the king sitting on the imperial palace, waiting for the royal driver to come out, he listened The sound of Shan Huan live came suddenly, thousands of people knelt down to the ground, and the voice went up to the nine heavens by the wind, like surging waves, and the atmosphere was myriad. From today onwards, he is the Lord of the world, the king of the four seas, ruling tens of thousands of people. If he is not on the scene, no one can experience the supremacy of ruling the world at this moment, ruling tens of thousands of people in the world, and holding the universe in his hands. Feeling--this is an extremely touching moment in life, man, it should be so!

At this time, Yuyu has already left along the way, but wherever the Yujia passes, whether it is the mansion of the princes and generals, or the mansions of the common people, they have received orders in advance, and every household must set up a fruit incense table. The whole family, young and old, came out. At this moment, they saw the guard of honor from a distance. All the men, women, old and children from all the families in Beijing knelt down on the ground, shouting "Long live", kneeling and worshiping endlessly. Wherever the royal driver went, there was a sound of "Long live". No one dared to look up at the emperor's car in the middle of the road, peeking at the real face of the emperor above. Occasionally, there were children who were not very sensible, at first they raised their heads to look at Yuyu in the distance out of curiosity, but Afterwards, I was so frightened that I burst into tears amidst the thunderous voices of thousands of people chanting long live, but the parents next to me immediately covered their mouths, and at the same time pressed the child's head down, showing the majesty of imperial power. Beitang Venerable is more condescending, silent and motionless, looking down on all people, he is the respect of the emperor.

At the same time, Beitang Rongdu at the back lifted the curtain from the Qixiang Treasure carriage and looked around. For a moment, as far as he could see, he could see that everyone around him, be it noble or poor, old or strong, had already knelt down. Lying on both sides of the road, countless people were amazed by it, bowed in awe, and kowtowed like a ceremonial instrument. Seeing this, Beitang Rongdu couldn't help but sigh with emotion at this incredible majesty of the emperor. There have been many setbacks and difficulties in the past, but now at this time, they have all been compensated.

But before ascending to the throne, one must sacrifice to the heaven and the earth, and what is gratifying today is that the heaven is still beautiful, although there is a cold wind, but that's all, the weather is fine, it is a rare good weather, in a blink of an eye, As Yujia moved forward, the Temple of Heaven was already approaching. Eighteen thousand imperial guards were stationed around the Temple of Heaven, with flags like clouds, and hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides according to their ranks.

The Temple of Heaven is nine feet nine feet high, and is surrounded by heavy guards, surrounded like iron barrels. With the sound of bells and drums, Beitang Zun Yue stepped down from Yuyu step by step, and under the eyes of everyone, he stepped up. Going up the ninety-nine and 81 jade steps in front of me, I walked straight up to the altar, and saw bright yellow brocade spread in the middle of the high platform on a gold lacquer plate, and on it was a crystal clear jade seal, which was four inches in diameter, with five dragons crossed on it. One of the corners is filled with gold, which shines brilliantly under the sun, and the front is engraved with the eight seal characters of "Designed to Heaven, Longevity and Eternal Prosperity", as a token of imperial power, orthodox and legal. Pick up this thing that symbolizes the supreme imperial power, and hand it over to the officials around you. After that, there are various cumbersome ceremonies. It is the most important thing, but seeing the members of the Beitang clan lined up according to their seniority in the sacrificial temple, all of them looked solemn and dignified. Kneeling and knocking nine times is a ceremony, and then there will be sacrificial prayers. After the three generations have been sealed, the officials come in to celebrate and enshrine them in the family temple. At that time, the big bell rang inside and outside the imperial city. Tang Zunyue boarded Yuyu again, and the ceremonial officer next to him had already sang loudly: "... Your Majesty, drive up--!"

It was almost noon at this time, and the royal family stretched across a mighty stretch, returned to the city, and went straight into the palace. Not long after, everyone entered the main hall, and then all the officials lined up. Beitang Zunyue climbed to the throne of God, and all the officials bowed three times, stopped the music, bowed again and again, and waited for a while to stop the sound of drums and music. The object stepped forward and said: "...the emperor ascends the throne, and the ministers are honored to honor the imperial treasure." After that, Shang Baoqing put the jade seal into the box on behalf of Beitang Zunyue, and Beitang Zunyue sat on the throne, condescending, really Looking down at all living beings, seeing this, he signaled the people beside him to read out the imperial edict. After reading it for a while, all the officials bowed their heads and shouted, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times: "...Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Sitting on it, he said slowly in a deep voice: "...all the ministers get up! "After that, all the officials came up to express their congratulations, and then they took their places. Beitang Zunyue was promoted to the throne wearing a crown of guns, and Shang Baoqing held the imperial treasure on the case. During the obeisance, stand facing the north and perform music. All the officials kneel down three times and worship nine times.

Afterwards, Beitang Zun Yue ascended to his seat, and the bell rang for a long time. Beitang Rongdu came up and knelt in front of your majesty’s steps. The gold insignia drawn up by the Ministry of Rites was handed over to Beitang Rongdu, but at this time, Beitang Zunyue got up and left his seat, took the gold seal of the jade body Chi button from the gold plate, and walked down the jade steps. At this scene, I realized how far Beitang Zunyue's favor for Beitang Rongdu has gone. Beitang Rongdu himself was slightly startled, a little surprised, and after a pause, he solemnly moved the things from Beitang with both hands. Tang Zunyue took it in his hand.

One of the seals was in his hands, and his skin felt cold, and he saw the four big seal characters of "The Treasure of the King of Chu" engraved on it. There was a hint of a smile, and Beitang Rongdu's heart immediately warmed up, and a silent smile filled his eyes. He knelt down to thank and kowtow, with an appropriate posture. At this point, the imperial power in the Central Plains has once again been in the hands of the family after hundreds of years. Hands, within the four seas, is already the world of the Beitang clan.

"The Chronicle of the Kingdom. The Record of Taizu"

... In the first year of Hongjing, Emperor Longwu came to the throne, and the country name was "Qing".
