Troubled Times: Added six doors at the beginning, pushing the world horizontally

Chapter 160 Entering Beijing
At dawn, Shen Du rode on the red dragon horse and rushed to the capital.

There are more and more people from the rivers and lakes encountered along the way, and the strength of the people from the rivers and lakes they meet is generally much higher.

Many of them are still descendants of Dapai, and there are a large number of them.

Yanjing City was newly built by the Taizu of the Yan Kingdom after expelling the northern barbarians. After being repaired by the emperors of the Yan Kingdom, it has become extremely large.

The resident population in Yanjing City has reached a terrifying 200 million, which is also the center of the entire Yan Kingdom.

The entire Yanjing City is divided into two parts, the inner city and the outer city, and most people live in the outer city.

Those who can live in the inner city are all relatives of the emperor, or honorable families, or wealthy businessmen and aristocratic families, which invisibly divides people into two levels.

Although Yanjing City was not built on the border, it was also in the hinterland of the north.

This move also has the meaning that the emperor guards the gate of the country and the king dies.

The hatred between the Yan Kingdom and the northern barbarians is deep, and the establishment of the capital here is also to remind the latecomers all the time, so that future emperors should not forget the enemy in the north.

Unlike the Qian Kingdom, the unique geographical location of the Yan Kingdom doomed them to have no way out.

If the Golden Horde wants to be difficult, it must face Yan.

The life-and-death blood feud between Yanren and Beiman cannot be let go.

In the distance, a majestic and huge city came into view on the horizon ahead.

Looking around, the whole city is majestic, vast and majestic, like a gigantic beast.

Even hundreds of meters away, you can still feel the extraordinary momentum.

On the official road, people kept galloping on horses, rushing towards the city ahead.

Shen Du shouted loudly and rode forward!

After entering Yanjing City, a sense of prosperity and nobility rushed over.

The streets of the city are so wide that they can accommodate several carriages in parallel.

The shouts from both sides of the street can be heard endlessly.

As the capital of Dayan, there are a lot of people from the rivers and lakes here, but there are very few sects that have established sects here.

After all, this is the capital of the Yan Kingdom, and the top clans of the entire Great Yan live here.

In other places, they would be protected by the sect if they got into trouble, but here, if they were a little careless, they might offend a relative of the emperor or a dignitary.

Here, there are many people with high status.

Although it is not possible to lose one's life, losing face is inevitable, so many sects would not choose this place.

Shen entered Yanjing City alone, asked someone to inquire, and then went towards the six gates.

There are no less than ten sub-rudders in the inner and outer cities of Yanjing City.

After all, it is a city with a population of over one million. Even the outer city has a permanent population of one million.

With such a huge population base, the number of Jianghu people is also extremely large. If we only rely on the headquarters of the six gates in the capital, it will be impossible to control them.

This is also the way for many general arrests in Beijing.

After they are promoted to the capital, they will usually work in the outer city, and will be awarded meritorious service, so that they can have offspring.

Not long after, the outline of the inner city came into Shen Duo's eyes.

The city as a whole is smaller than the outer city, and there are soldiers patrolling the walls.

Shen Du had inquired a long time ago that the headquarters of the Six Doors is located next to the imperial palace, and it usually takes on the duty of guarding the palace.

After walking for half an hour, a dark building came into Shen Du's eyes.

A black dragon flag hangs high, swaying in the wind.

Dayan is still black, so most buildings also use black as the main color.

In front of the gate, there stood two strange beasts several feet tall, which were also painted in pitch black, and a sense of solemnity came immediately.

The vermilion door was wide open.

The six doors, dressed in official uniforms of various colors, came in and out quickly, looking extremely busy.

The person who came, Shen Du, did not attract much attention from them.

Seeing Shen Du walking towards the gate of the mansion, the policeman on duty said in a deep voice, "Please stop."

"The six doors are important, please do not enter the idler!"

The attitudes of the two of them are quite friendly. The most important thing for guarding here is eyesight.

Although Shen Du looks dusty, his awe-inspiring demeanor cannot be concealed.

Shen Du took out his token and identity letter, and said in a deep voice, "Taizhou chief arrester, Shen Du, has been ordered to report to Beijing!"

"Seventh on the list!?"

Hearing that Shen reported to the house alone, the policeman on duty immediately exclaimed, his face full of shock.

This sound also instantly attracted the attention of everyone around.

Everyone looked at him in unison, wondering and wondering.

Don't look at it as just a list of people, but there are only so many young people who can make the list in the four countries of the world.

What's more, it is still seventh in the list. It can be said that in the past 30 years, no one in the six sects has reached such a high level.

That's why they were so surprised when they heard Shen Du's identity.

Naturally, the Six Doors always pay attention to the list of people, so Shen Du, the seventh person on the list, naturally entered everyone's sight.

For a moment, everyone's expressions on Shen Du changed.

Not hostility, but as if watching a legend.

Looking at the general arrests in all states, they are all extremely low-key, most of them are not well-known, but Shen Du has repeatedly stirred up troubles in the world.

In Qingzhou, he captured the fourth prince of the northern barbarians among thousands of troops, defeated the sons of honored nobles, broke into the branch of the Giant Spirit Gang in Taizhou, and destroyed the two great families...

Restore the reputation of Taizhou Six Doors and be on the list.

And most recently, the leader of the Young Master of the Killing Giant Spirit Gang.

Isn't this pile of piles a legend?

There was a hint of envy in the eyes of many policemen and headhunters present looking at Shen Du.

They would not dare to do these things.

Many people who know the inside story know that Yuan Su planned to go to Taizhou to pick peaches, but unfortunately, he didn't succeed.

Although Shen Du is young, his means and strength are enough to make many people admire him.

Many people even felt that if it weren't for his background, maybe he would have a place in the top three of the list.

The identity letter cannot be faked, the two guards looked at each other, and one immediately said respectfully: "Lord Shen, please follow me."

In his opinion, since Shen Du came to Beijing this time, he might be promoted, so it's not wrong to establish a good relationship in advance.

Shen Du followed the man all the way into the headquarters of Six Doors and headed for Cui Jingsheng's residence.

Watching Shen Du go away, everyone exploded in an instant.

"Is he really that person, Tu Shendu? He looks so young!"

"Nonsense, he is on the list, can he not be young?"

As we all know, the list of people only records warriors under the age of 30.

"He's coming to Beijing this time, I think he's going to be promoted?"

"I just don't know what position he will be promoted to?"

Everyone talked and speculated.

Because once Shen Du is promoted, it means that he may become the immediate boss of some of them.

After all, it was the head arrester in Ziyi, and the chief arrester of a state, so no matter what, he would arrange a good position.

……

The two walked for a long time and came to a courtyard in the east courtyard.

The arrester who was on duty earlier said respectfully: "President Shen, Master Cui's office is here."

Shen Du nodded slightly, stepped forward, and knocked on the door.

"Enter!"

Familiar yet unfamiliar voices came from the courtyard.

Shen Du pushed open the door and entered, while Cui Jingsheng was looking down at some official documents.

Cui Jingsheng raised his head and saw that it was Shen Du, he was surprised and said, "You came here sooner than I thought."

Cui Jingsheng took a serious look at Shen Du, feeling the exuberant and abundant vitality, secretly startled.

I thought that Shen Du would break through quickly and his foundation would be unstable, but now it seems that he was over-concerned.

Shen Du cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Master Cui!"

Cui Jingsheng waved his hands and said, "You don't need to be too polite, just sit down."

He also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Who would have thought that a person he promoted in Qingzhou would have come to this point in just over a year.

Cui Jingsheng put down the official document in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "There is something I need to tell you."

"It is actually an order from the East Palace to make you a judge at the Ascension to Heaven Banquet."

"East Palace?" Shen Du was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "The order from the crown prince?"

"That's right." Cui Jingsheng shook his head and said, "It seems His Royal Highness values ​​you quite a lot."

This is a good thing and a bad thing!
The Crown Prince holds the power to oversee the country. If in the past, the Crown Prince valued it, he would have avoided a lot of trouble, but the current situation...

The prince's health is getting worse day by day, if an accident happens one day, all the people in the prince's family will be liquidated.

What's more, some people are not afraid of the prince!
A prince who cannot take the throne is just a prince.

Especially in the past 20 years, His Majesty has not been able to retreat, and there have been rumors among the people that His Majesty has a problem with his practice.

Many ambitious people can't wait.

Cui Jingsheng said in a deep voice: "Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered you to come to Beijing to serve as the judge of the Ascension to Heaven Banquet, so Six Doors cannot arrange a position for you."

"Since you have entered the capital, you should also go to the Prince's Mansion and pay a visit out of reason."

Shen Du nodded in response.

He thought it was an order from the six doors this time, but he didn't expect that the prince was behind it.

Cui Jingsheng explained some things, called a confidant, and told him to take Shen Du to meet the crown prince.

The two walked out of the courtyard, and the middle-aged man on the side smiled and cupped his hands and said, "Lord Shen, I'm going to Han Wei, if you have anything to do, just give me orders."

Shen Du also cupped his hands and said: "Then please trouble Mr. Han."

A strange color flashed in Han Wei's eyes.

He originally thought that a person like Shen Du would be more arrogant.

"How dare you bother with little things."

After exchanging pleasantries, the two set off for the Prince's Mansion.

At the same time, the news about Shen Du's coming to the headquarters of Six Gates also spread like wildfire, quickly spreading throughout the entire Six Gates.

After all, the entire six doors are only this big, and even the slightest disturbance is enough for everyone to know about it.

In the west courtyard,
The door was pushed open, and a strong man with a beard stepped in, angrily said: "Have you heard, that Shen Du has actually entered Beijing."

In the room, there was an elegant-looking man sitting. Hearing the words, he just said indifferently: "I've heard about it a long time ago."

Gao Hong said angrily: "He harmed Brother Yuan, and now he dares to enter Beijing openly."

Lu Ming glanced at him, smiled lightly and said, "And then?"

"Avenge him?"

"Do you think we are his opponents?"

He is still very clear about the importance of being seventh on the list.

Although they are at the top of the three flowers, even if the two of them add up, they are not enough for others to kill.

Although he and Yuan Su had a good friendship, it was impossible for him to offend such a person.

Not to mention, he has to be valued by Master Cui.

Gao Hong said coldly: "We can't help it, but someone has a way."

Lu Ming frowned.

He knew that Gao Hong and Yuan Su had the best relationship, so regarding the matter of Yuan Su, he had always had a serious heart and could not forget it.

"how do you want to do it?"

Gao Hong sneered and said, "Second Prince!"

"He caused King Jing'an to go to the border of Western Chu. The second prince must remember this matter. If he is told about this matter, he will definitely not let him go."

No matter how powerful Shen Du was, he was still a courtier, so when facing the prince, he naturally had to bow his head.

Even if Shen Du was killed, would Cui Jingsheng dare to let the second prince pay for his life?

Lu Ming frowned slightly, but didn't say much, but acquiesced to Gao Hong's proposal.

It wasn't that he wanted to avenge Yuan Su, but that he simply felt that Shen Du was unhappy.

If he could, he wouldn't mind watching Shen Du lose face.

……

East Palace,

The East Palace is not far from the headquarters of Six Doors, and the two arrived there in only half an hour.

Along the way, Han Wei also told Shen Du in detail about the situation in Yanjing City.

Now the various princes are fighting openly and secretly, recruiting masters, making Yanjing City even more chaotic, and this time's Ascension to Heaven Banquet, it is even more chaotic.

The two came to the outside of the East Palace and handed worship stickers to the guards.

After a while, an eunuch from the East Palace came out, smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "My lords, Your Highness the Crown Prince welcomes you."

Shen Du glanced at the person who came, and was surprised to find that he was an acquaintance.

Lu Cheng!

The person who came was Lu Cheng, the eunuch who gave gifts to the East Palace last time.

Lu Cheng obviously recognized Shen Du, but he didn't say much, but respectfully led Shen Du and the two to the rear palace.

Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests,
Lu Cheng entered respectfully, walked out quickly, bowed and said, "Master Shen, please~"

Han Wei stood aside tactfully.

Shen Du stepped into the main hall, and his figure was clearly reflected on the bluestone floor.

The moment he approached the palace, he was keenly aware that several powerful spiritual forces locked on him.

This power is stronger than the killer in Tsing Yi Building back then.

On the right side of the hall, there is a row of mahogany bookshelves.

Sitting on the nanmu chair behind the table was a handsome man in a black robe and a thick leather jacket.

At this moment, he was looking up at Shen Du, with a smile on his mouth, but his face was a little pale and tired.

Beside him, stood an old eunuch who looked extremely old, but his eyes were extremely energetic, and his aura was even more impressive.

Shen Du cupped his hands and saluted: "Six Gate Taizhou chief arrests Shen Du, I have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Free gift!"

Xia Jingyi smiled gently, and said softly, "Lu Banban, please sit down."

He didn't intend to meet Shen Du at first, but after thinking about it again and again, he decided to meet him.

Shen Du cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

The corners of Xia Jingyi's mouth turned up slightly, she seemed to be in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "I, Dayan, can go out to Mr. Shen to arrest such a young hero, and I feel so relieved."

"It would be great if everyone in my Dayan could be like Boss Shen."

Xia Jingyi shook her head and said, "You must know the purpose of calling you to Beijing this time."

"The ascending to heaven banquet over the years is a grand event, and it is the most important thing."

"So Shen Aiqing, but you are the face of my Dayan at this heavenly banquet."

Shen Du cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness is absurd."

Xia Jingyi chuckled lightly, and said, "I intend to let you take charge of this banquet, I don't know what you want?"

Shen Du was slightly startled, stood up and said: "Your Highness, this matter is of great importance, and I am afraid that I will not be able to handle it."

It's fine to be a judge, but it's not a trivial matter to be in charge of the Ascension to Heaven Banquet.

Xia Jingyi smiled, and said meaningfully: "This is not the same as Mr. Shen who Gu heard about."

Shen Du was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "The minister takes orders!"

Having said all this, it would be foolish to refuse any more.

"Ha ha!"

Xia Jingyi smiled, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry too much, I will let people from the East Palace and the Ministry of Rites assist you."

Naturally, it is impossible for him to hand over the Ascension to Heaven Banquet to Shen Du alone, which is also against the rules.

His purpose was just to let Shen Du improve his reputation.

Shen Du got up and said: "Your Highness, if there is nothing else to do, then I will leave first."

"Wait a minute."

Xia Jingyi turned her head to look at Lu Chengen who was beside her, and nodded slightly.

Lu Chengen understood, turned around and fetched a key.

"This is a separate courtyard in the south of Beijing, and it is given to you."

Shen Du was even more incomprehensible at this moment.

This is a bit too enthusiastic.

But Shen Du did not refuse, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

It just so happened that he lacked a place to stay in Beijing.

Nowadays, the Jingzhong Inn restaurant must be overcrowded, and it is even more mixed.

Then he retreated and left the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.

After Shen Du left, Xia Jingyi's face flushed suddenly, and he vomited blood.

"Your Highness!!"

Lu Chengen's face changed slightly, showing anxiety.

Xia Jingyi took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, then waved her hand and said, "It's fine, don't worry."

Lu Chengen said helplessly: "Your Highness, why are you doing this?"

"Even if you want to see him, don't be so anxious."

Xia Jingyi smiled and said, "Gu is very happy!"

From the first moment he saw Shen Du, he knew that this was the person he was looking for.

So he has no regrets.

……

Lu Cheng sent Shen Du and Han Wei out of the East Palace.

The two were about to return to the Six Doors headquarters when suddenly a group of people surrounded them aggressively on the street ahead.
