Power in the World: After Eternal Age

At the gate of the Imperial City of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Hua Hu, who had changed into civilian clothes, stared anxiously at a group of guards guarding the gate.He was waiting for the opportunity, trying every means to meet Feng Zhaoyi and entrust Feng Yuan to her.

But he is just a retired veteran guarding the frontier, and he has no relatives in the capital. Although his hair is grey, there is nothing he can do.

This morning, Hua Hu took Feng Yuan to the gate of the imperial city as usual, and saw that the atmosphere at the gate of the imperial city, which was usually bustling with people coming and going, was unusual.No one came in or out of the imperial city, and there was a larger group of guards at the gate than usual, all holding weapons and lined up on both sides with solemn faces.

A general was accompanying an eunuch, walking up and down at the gate of the imperial city.The eunuch pointed and pointed from time to time, and the general nodded and bowed, obediently.

Hua Hu didn't dare to approach, so she came to a tea shop a hundred meters away from the imperial city, and ordered two bowls of hot tea.He asked with a smile on his face, "Shopkeeper, what's going on today? Why are there so many soldiers guarding?"

The tea vendor at the stall said with a smile: "Old man, by the accent, you are not from the capital, are you? Today is the winter solstice, and it is the day for my royal family to worship ancestors. My Emperor Taiwu of Wei Dynasty has not returned from the imperial conquest, so by Prince Jian Guo, together with the two Zhaoyis on the left and right, went to the Taimiao to perform the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the ancestors. Brother, you came at the right time, and you will be able to feast your eyes later on. I'm afraid you can't even imagine the scene, but it's so majestic!"

Hua Hu's heart moved, and she asked eagerly, "Will Mrs. Zuo Zhaoyi and Feng come to attend the ancestor worship ceremony in person?"

The shopkeeper said: "This royal winter solstice sacrifice ceremony is no small matter. If Emperor Taiwu is here, he must personally participate in the sacrifice ceremony. Because the expedition to Rouran has not returned, the crown prince Jianguo will sacrifice to the ancestors instead of Emperor Taiwu. The two Zhaoyi empresses, You must go with your car."

Huahu was overjoyed, rewarded the shopkeeper with a few taels of silver, and brought Feng Yuan to the city gate not far away, standing by the road, waiting for the car to drive out.

Feng Yuan stretched out her small hand, took Hua Hu's hand and asked, "Uncle Hua, why do you seem worried?"

Hua Hu sighed, looked at Feng Yuan with pity and said, "Feng Yuan, Uncle Hua finally got his chance today. If he sees Zuo Zhaoyi later, he will try to hand you over to her. It's just that royal cars must be strictly guarded when traveling. Common people can't get close to driving no matter what. Uncle Hua is worrying about this, how can I see Feng Zhaoyi and entrust you to her?"

Feng Yuan blinked her big round eyes and said, "Uncle Hua, Feng Yuan has an idea."

Hua Hu said in surprise: "Feng Yuan, you are only four years old, what ideas do you have? Don't bother Uncle Hua, let Uncle Hua think about what to do."

Feng Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle Hua, why don't you dedicate me to the prince as the daughter of a prisoner? Then I can enter the palace, and you can also receive a large reward to return home when you are old."

Huahu was shocked and said: "Feng Yuan, don't talk nonsense, your Uncle Hua is a human being, and righteousness comes first. I fought to the death and rescued you and your brother Feng Xi in order to repay the kindness that your Feng family has shown me. Now After hearing Master Shituo's words, I want to send you to the palace to be raised by your aunt Feng Zhaoyi. Seeing that success is imminent, how could I do such a thing that is inferior to a beast for the sake of my own glory and wealth?"

After Huahu finished speaking, she knelt down and hugged Feng Yuan tightly, her eyes were full of pity and said: "Feng Yuan, you are so cute, you should listen to your aunt Feng Zhaoyi more after entering the palace. I have already listened to it." Said, Feng Zhaoyi is virtuous and virtuous, favored by Emperor Taiwu, and has the style of a mother. With your aunt taking care of you, Uncle Hua can rest assured."

Feng Yuan stretched out her small hand to wipe off the frost that had condensed on Huaqu's eyebrows and beard. Although her voice was immature, she was full of determination, and said softly, "Uncle Hua, I'm not joking. Really, you pretended to catch me People, dedicating me to the prince's chariot, this is the best way."

Hua Hu was in doubt, but Feng Yuan said slowly: "Uncle Hua, I have heard that the prince Tuoba Huangzhai has a benevolent heart and respects Confucianism and courtesy. Although I am a criminal official, according to the laws of the Great Wei, officials who commit crimes will be punished. The whole family was copied and beheaded, only all the men were killed, and all the women were sent to the palace or served as slaves in the official family."

"Zong Ai monopolizes power and kills innocent people indiscriminately without telling the court. If Uncle Hua dedicates me to the crown prince, Zong Ai will not dare to pursue and kill me openly even though Uncle Hua knows about me. My aunt Feng Zhaoyi knows about me and will take pity on me." , will ask the crown prince to ask me to serve her. The crown prince is benevolent, and when he reads Zuo Zhaoyi's virtue and father's favor, he must follow Zuo Zhaoyi's words. In this way, I will enter the palace safely, and Uncle Hua can also receive the reward , go home and work happily at home. Uncle Hua, do you think this plan is feasible?"

Hua Hu looked astonished, looking at little Feng Yuan in front of her in amazement.He couldn't believe that these words came from a child who was only four years old.

Huahu pondered for a while, and felt that what Feng Yuan said was extremely reasonable, and she couldn't think of a better way than this.

Little Feng Yuan stretched out her cold red hand, touched Hua Hu's face and said, "Uncle Hua, don't worry, I will definitely protect myself after entering the palace."

Huahu remembered Shituo's words, and couldn't help being secretly surprised: This child seems to be a strange person, at such a young age, he has such insight.Master Shituo said that this child is so precious that he will be the master of the world in the future, it seems that this statement is true.

With tears in his eyes, Hua Hu hugged Feng Yuan and said, "Son, then do as you say. If something happens to you, Uncle Hua will not live alone, lest people in the world laugh at me for betraying my master."

Feng Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Hua, don't worry! If I, Feng Yuan, have a bright future, I will never forget Uncle Hua's life-saving grace, and I will do my best to promote the Buddhadharma for Master Shituo!"

Huahu put her old face on Feng Yuan's little cheek, tears streaming down her face unstoppably.At this time, the sound of gongs was heard at the gate of the city, and many people were already standing along the road, waiting to watch the spectacular scene of the royal family traveling in chariots.

A group of brightly-clad imperial guards poured out from the gate of the city, and six white horses pulled an imperial chariot slowly out of the gate of the city.Huahu immediately understood that this was Prince Tuobahuang's imperial chariot.The eight horses of the emperor and the six horses of the prince have distinct ranks, and the scene is quite spectacular.

Behind the prince's chariot, there are three large sedan chairs, which must be taken by nobles in the harem.Amidst the sound of the gong, Hua Hu suddenly jumped out of the crowd, pulled Feng Yuan, knelt down in front of the road, and stopped the prince's chariot.

Seeing someone blocking the drive, the Suwei Yulin Army was shocked, dozens of people immediately rushed forward, each with their own weapons, and surrounded Huahu and Feng Yuan who were kneeling in the center of the official road.

The chariot stopped, and the two maids standing on the chariot slowly opened the curtain, and a handsome man with a high crown of Emei came out and stood on the chariot.
