Dajin royal family

Chapter 322 Eight Years of Hongye
Zhuo County, Changping County.

Like other places, Zhuo County was also plagued by bandits.Although the banditry here is not as serious as the counties in Shandong, the people live in anxiety all day long.

Just after New Year's Eve, the old man Wang took a large family to go to Liaodong to join his brothers and beg for food. He could no longer farm the land quietly in Zhuojun.

There are not a few people like them. As the gate of Changping County opened, the crowd rushed out.

However, before they had a sense of comfort of 'escaping from the sea of ​​suffering', a black line appeared on the ground in the distance, and then the ground began to tremble.

"This is the horse team?"

Old man Wang clenched his burden tightly, squinted his eyes, and listened attentively.

After only half a cup of tea, the 'black line' in the distance gradually became clear.

That's not a cavalry, that's an armed army!
"Run!"

Old man Wang has sharp eyes, and he can tell at a glance that it is not the clothes of the Jin army, but the clothes of the Xi people!

"Aliens are coming!"

I don't know who yelled, and the crowd behind suddenly exploded, followed by everyone rushing towards the county again.

However, the guard of the county seat also saw this scene, and he quickly ordered the city gate to be closed.

shhhhhh!
Arrows all over the sky struck with a bang.

Ah!
The screams sounded one after another, and all the people who did not return to the county were shot to death under the city gate by the rain of arrows.

Corpse on corpse, corpse on corpse.

But in the blink of an eye, every living life disappeared in an instant.

Da da da!
The sound of horseshoes sounded, and a row of scimitar horse archers appeared. It was a phalanx of 5000 people, and the leader was Lu Mingyue, the former king of Hebei.

He is back!
"Brother, kill!" The bearded man was excited.

"What's the hurry!" Lu Mingyue glared at her bearded face angrily.

"This person and the city are here, can they escape?"

The bearded man scratched his face, and raised the Bagua ax in his hand.

"Brother, my big ax is hungry and thirsty."

Lu Mingyue shook her head, pointed her spear at the sky, and shouted: "Brothers, follow me!"

At the beginning of the eighth year of Hongye, Lu Mingyue made a comeback from Anle County, and the flames of war swept through Zhuo County, and Zhuo County was in a hurry!
Zhuojun is still quite a distance from Luoyang, and it took five days for the news of the beacon fire to reach the Central Plains.

Luoyang.

In order to welcome the upcoming Shangyuan Festival, the New Year's Eve atmosphere in the streets and alleys of Luoyang not only did not disappear, but became more intense.

Imperial Palace, Taimiao.

Jiang Chengxiao was dressed in an official robe, yawning, and stood in front of the spacious hall.

Because the emperor was going to sacrifice, officials from the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple returned to the court ahead of time to prepare for the matter. He was called by Pei Ju to stand guard.

The reason why he was standing guard was because he really didn't understand the etiquette of sacrifices. It was the work of officials who were familiar with rituals and music, so he just forgot.

So, from this moment on, he was basking in the sun.

It was Zheng Ruyi, the follower, who was busy, and Pei Ningqing was also called by Pei Ju to help Jiang Chengxiao.

But most of the time it was the two of them who worked hard, Jiang Chengxiao swayed with his eyes closed.

In other words, he has been to Taimiao many times.

It feels different every time I come here.

This time, he just felt that the Taimiao was a joke.

If the ancestors of the Jiang family were really alive, they might have been pissed off by the emperor by now.

There was the sound of running heavy chain mail in my ears.

Turning his head, he saw a team of more than 20 Jinwu Guards coming to change shifts.

Most of the Jinwu Guard is a place where meritorious children have mixed seniority. There is no room for advancement here, but there is no danger.

Simply put, it's a mess.

Jiang Chengxiao squinted his eyes and looked, what a coincidence, he knew quite a few in this team, and they were all friends from the past.

"See King Wudu."

All the former friends bowed down to salute.

"Excuse me, is it your turn today?" Jiang Chengxiao asked with a smile.

"No, I haven't had enough rest yet, so I was dragged here." Someone complained.

"That's right, according to the rules, no matter what, that kid Yang Prize must lead the team."

"Okay, who said that my elder brother is the general of the Jinwu Guard, crushing people to death."

The second generation of the rich and powerful began to curse like a chatterbox.

Jiang Chengxiao secretly rolled his eyes, the emperor really had a big heart to let these guys guard Miyagi.

Isn't this a joke.

After greeting them, Jiang Chengxiao crossed the Taimiao to check other places.

"Etiquette" is very particular, and if a detail is not done well, it may be caught by those censor trolls.

I still remember the first time he went to work in the Ministry of Rites. Because he was half an hour late, he was impeached three times by the emperor.

"Where is this?"

Before he knew it, Jiang Chengxiao had already passed through the long corridor, and there was a new building in front of him.

He pointed to the old bedroom in front of him, and asked the servant beside him.

"Reporting to Your Highness, Fengyi Hall is in front of you, which is the bedroom of the empress."

"Are you a fool when you think of me as the king?"

Jiang Chengxiao yelled angrily, "What the hell is that place in front, it's sparsely populated, it doesn't look like the Queen's bedroom."

The servant immediately knelt on the ground in fright.

"How dare the servants lie to His Highness, it is indeed the Palace of Fengyi."

Seeing this, Jiang Chengxiao raised his eyebrows.

It is rumored that the emperor neglected the queen, is it true?
That's right, it's been so long since he came back, it seems that he hasn't seen the queen on a formal occasion.

In the past, it was because things came one after another, and he didn't have time to think about it, so now he thinks about it.

There is a good chance it is true!
"Go down." Jiang Chengxiao walked under the pillar with his hands behind his back, and looked at Fengyi Hall.

Is that still the place where the mother of a country lives? There is no one standing guard at the door, and the fallen leaves are piled up layer after layer. It looks like a cold palace!
"Could it be that he was not allowed to take drugs?" Jiang Chengxiao murmured.

Immediately, he felt that his thoughts were a little out of touch, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Your Highness, the Taichang Temple has been set up, and our side is finished, we can go back." Pei Ningqing appeared quietly.

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, turned around and took Pei Ningqing away.

On the way, Pei Ningqing seemed to be preoccupied, and Jiang Chengxiao saw this scene.

"What's the matter, what are you thinking, your heart is so heavy."

"It's nothing."

"Okay, let's talk, I won't scold you." Jiang Chengxiao patted him.

Since Pei Ju asked him to follow him, Jiang Chengxiao had to pay more attention to find out.

It is said that the outstanding children of the Shandong gentry, apart from being a little more arrogant than ordinary people, are actually not bad at learning anything.

Such as Zheng Ruxin et al.

Pei Ningqing hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Does Your Highness think I'm useless?"

Ok?
Jiang Chengxiao was taken aback by this question.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because. Because His Highness never gave me any advice."

"Why don't you think so, maybe you did a good job, so I don't need to say more?" Jiang Chengxiao asked back.

"Ah this."

Jiang Chengxiao smiled lightly, "Don't think too much, I promised Mr. Pei that he would take good care of you, so I won't break my promise. Yuan Yan once asked the same question as you, do you know how I answered him?"

"How?" he asked curiously.

Pei Yuanyan's reputation among the young disciples of the Pei family is not weak.

Jiang Chengxiao stopped and looked at the servants and maids not far away.

"Have you seen those servants and maids?"

"Saw."

"The servants are in charge of physical work, and the maids are in charge of careful work. They each have their own strengths."

Hearing this, Pei Ningqing nodded thoughtfully, as if he understood something.

At this moment, Zheng Ruyi also rushed over.

"Your Highness, according to the etiquette system, you should inform the Empress about this visit to the Ancestral Temple. Just now, Lord Wang asked me to inform you."

Mr. Wang is Wang Yi, Qing of Taichang Temple.

"You should, you go." Jiang Chengxiao turned sideways, letting Zheng Ruyi walk over.

As soon as Zheng Ruyi left, Jia Nei, who served the emperor, came over.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has a decree, and Xuan Highness will go to the Imperial Study to discuss matters."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, "Gong Jia please lead the way."

Calling Jia Gong, Jia Nei's servant was full of enthusiasm. This Wudu king really did not forget his roots, and he was always so polite no matter what.

Pei Ningqing looked at Jiang Chengxiao who was leaving, then looked back, then gave a wry smile helplessly, and walked away quickly.

"Jia Gong, I don't know what His Majesty announced to me?" Jiang Chengxiao pulled out a few gold leaves from his sleeves like a magic trick, and stuffed them into the hands of Janee's waiter with no expression on his face.

"Your Highness is being polite."

Attendant Jia Nei took the gold leaf, looked left and right, and found that there was no one there, so he lowered his voice and said, "It's not for His Highness, His Highness, don't worry."
