Chapter 104

It was not Mo Xidao who slapped Wang Ding down from the fan on the second floor, but Hou Wenji. Others didn't even see how he got to Wang Ding, how he raised his hand, and how he flew out like a shell. In people's surprise, a cry on the street shocked everyone at a loss.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

For today's people living in keshengju, the original calm heart bears the impact again and again.

Many of the border troops and diners lost their focus and fell to the ground. Before they got up, they heard the words "Your Majesty's arrival". There is no doubt that it is more thrilling than a thunderbolt. God bless the emperor for the first time in 11 years to appear so close in front of the people. Compared with his father, Yang Yi's low-key makes people sigh. When the first emperor was in power, he liked to visit privately in micro clothes. He often takes civil and military officials to inspect all parts of Chang'an and appears in the sight of the people from time to time.

Yang Yi, on the other hand, seldom went out of the palace in the past 11 years.

The emperor's sudden appearance was accompanied by no large group of people. With only dozens of bodyguards around, it seems that the trip is simpler than that of ordinary dignitaries of aristocratic families. It is called the lowest temperature regulating and emperor in the history of the great Sui Dynasty. From this, we can see some of the emperor's temperament. Three of these attendants seem to have a good position. Although only these three people were close to the emperor, they all happened to protect the emperor from any angle.

Walking on the emperor's left is Luo Weiran dressed in flying fish robes, and on the right is a Taoist priest in red robes. Behind the emperor was su Buwei, a eunuch who held a pen in the imperial study.

These three people are like three walls.

These are the three that can be seen. On the roof of jinkezhai opposite keshengju, there is an old man in light blue royal clothes who has been standing there with cold and arrogant eyes sweeping back and forth among the crowd in the street.

Hou Wenji, the caretaker of Qingya Town, slapped Wang Ding, and a residual shadow appeared outside the door. Almost at the same time, Zhuo Buyi also plundered down from the second floor and left the guest house. Two people, one left and one right, stood at the door and bowed at the same time: "kowtow to your majesty!"

Emperor Tianyou of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Yi, walked slowly to the gate of keshengju and waved Hou Wenji and Zhuo Buyi to get up. He looked up at the sign of keshengju and said with a smile: "the former Emperor once said that the crab meat lion head of keshengju is better than that of the imperial dining room in the palace. Every time I think of it, I want to sneak over and have a taste. However, I've been busy with government affairs."

The boss of keshengju, who knelt at the door, was surprised to hear this, but he didn't dare to look up.

"Cao min Ang Lee, knock on your majesty, long live your majesty, long live your majesty!"

He kowtowed hard on the ground.

The emperor came to him, bent down to help Li an up and said, "I'm so abrupt that you're uncomfortable. Get up all of you. If you disturb the purity of the people, I'll be upset."

He glanced at Hou Wenji and Zhuo Buyi.

"Hou Wenji, why didn't anyone tell me you were here?"

The emperor asked in a bland tone, but Hou Wenji's heart was fiercely tight. He secretly met Luo Wen in Kesheng Curie, which Luo Weiran and others did not know. Even Zhuo Buyi kept it from him. The only one who knew this was God eye Liu Duxiu. But even Liu Duxiu didn't know why Zhuo Buyi suddenly appeared. He didn't say hello to Zhuo Buyi when he transferred the bodyguard of the regiment. The transfer of flying fish robe was already within his scope of authority.

But Zhuo Buyi came and seemed to know what would happen to Kesheng Curie.

"My minister and general Luo are drinking here today, just in time."

Hou Wenji bowed his head and answered. The emperor, um, didn't ask again. As he walked into the lobby, he looked at Zhuo Buyi on the other side and asked, "Buyi, when you were about to get here, listen to Luo Weiran. Just now you used painting the ground as a prison?"

Zhuo Buyi nodded and said, "go back to your majesty. I'll use it."

"What a pity"

The emperor said sadly, "I'm a little late. I wanted to see your ability to draw the ground as a prison a long time ago. It's too late... It's too late."

He shook his head and sighed as he spoke. It seemed that he was really sorry that he didn't see Zhuo Buyi's means.

Before the emperor came in, the people in the room had knelt on the ground. After entering the lobby, he looked at the mess in the room and the kneeling border troops. His vision finally stayed on Wang Ding, who was stunned by Hou Wenji's palm. The emperor's face was slightly unhappy.

"Who is this man?"

He asked, pointing to Wang Ding.

Bowing to one side, Liu Duxiu quickly bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty Hui, is Wang Ding of the Jiangnan King's family and a student recruited by the martial arts academy this year. His father's name is Wang Yishan. He was once an official from Sipin county. This man is Wang Yishan's eldest son. He was very talented in Jiangnan when he was young."

The Emperor gave a sound, walked to the middle of the lobby, held his hands up and said: "Get up, all of you are good men who do not hesitate to shed blood for our border defense. After you arrive at the imperial capital, I wanted to choose a day and let the military department invite you all to Changchun Garden. I'll bring you wine in person to thank you for your great war achievements for the country! Since it happens to arrive today, I'll borrow a pot of wine from keshengju and toast you!"

The emperor did not ask about today's affairs, but said the credit of the border army!

It's clear what this means.

Luo Weiran smiled and said in his heart that his Majesty was going to make a statement. Seeing that the army will be used in the northwest, your majesty can't punish the soldiers at this time. When he thought of this, he suddenly woke up. Since the last martial arts academy recruited students, his majesty ordered to select excellent talents from various armies for the test. Now it seems that his Majesty was already preparing for the use of troops at that time. Your Majesty's scheming is too terrible.

Hou Wenji looked at Luo Weiran with some doubts in his eyes.

Luo Weiran just smiled and didn't speak.

……

……

The flying fish robe in the bodyguard's office cleaned up Kesheng Curie as quickly as possible, and the tables and chairs were rearranged neatly. The boss of keshengju personally went to the back kitchen and stared. A row of more than a dozen stoves were all busy. None of the chefs dared to slack off, as if they were full of clockwork robots, cooking with spirit.

The border troops were all sitting around the table, one by one uneasy.

The emperor sat at a table in the middle and waved to Zhang Kuang and Mo Xidao to sit next to him. The two soldiers, who had never been frightened, were trembling when they sat next to the emperor. In particular, Mo Xidao, who had been calculated to nearly commit murder, was now sitting at the same table with the emperor. The contrast between before and after was so great that he couldn't adapt at all.

"Your name is mo Xidao. I know."

The emperor smiled and said: "I know very well about Dongchu. The imperial court can't give you too much praise openly. I've always felt that I owe you. Last winter, I specially ordered the military department to let them write your name into the list of students in the martial arts academy examination. There's no need to talk about any military skills. Moreover, I've discussed with President Zhou... You can enter the martial arts academy directly without any need Take the exam. "

Mo Xidao was stunned. He quickly stood up, stepped back and knelt to the ground: "thank you, your majesty!"

The emperor smiled and said, "I should thank you. You are the one who guards my territory, resisting foreign enemies, killing hooligans, cleaning up grass bandits and imposing military prestige. A while ago, I mentioned to several important officials in the court that I would double the pay of border soldiers. This has been handed over to the Ministry of military and the Ministry of household for verification. It should be announced to the world soon."

He asked someone to help Mo Xidao up and said, "I also know that you may have a lot of resentment in your heart. The imperial court has done many things unsatisfactory and may be unfair, but you should believe me. Give me time, I will gouge out all unfair things a little bit, just like gouging out the cancer on my body."

"Thank you, your majesty!"

All the border soldiers knelt down again and kowtowed thanks.

The emperor smiled, motioned the people to get up and said to them, "some people are arrogant because their family background is a little better. There are hundreds of millions of people in the Sui Dynasty, and such people are still a few after all. The reason why they are arrogant is that they feel that there is a so-called famous family behind them and someone supports them."

"But today"

The emperor stood up, glanced at all the border troops and said word by word: "you should remember that they have backers. It's nothing to be afraid of. They just pretend to be powerful. You also have backers, and your backers are the most solid and firm, that is me! This family and that family, I want to see who is bigger than the Yang family!"

This sentence shocked everywhere.

The hearts of these border soldiers were burning up, and the warmth almost made them want to shout!

……

……

Hou Wenji gave a gentle hum, close to Luo Weiran, slightly frowned and said, "Your Majesty, this seems to have gone too far. If it is spread, it will inevitably cause some people's dissatisfaction."

Luo Weiran glanced and said: "At the beginning of your Majesty's accession to the throne, everyone thought he was the most gentle emperor in the past dynasties, so the aristocratic family is inevitably domineering. But since the case of Jiangdu Qiu family... Who dares to think so? The following people don't know that your majesty wants to use troops in the Northwest. They don't know heaven and earth by virtue of their declining family background. How can your majesty not speak for the military at this joint?"

Hou Wenji shook his head and said, "I still think your majesty takes these border troops too seriously. In a word, the imperial court still depends on important officials and nobles."

Luo Wei Ran gave him a white look and didn't answer.

Hou Wenji smiled helplessly and said, "you know I don't mean to look down on poor children..."

"What is the holy intention? Who can easily figure it out? Have you ever calculated that the people killed by the previous three emperors are not as many as your majesty, but people still think your majesty is very gentle, just this... Who can do it?"

Luo Weiran shook his head and didn't want to entangle himself in this topic. Hou Wenji gave a sound and looked at the border troops who were moved beyond measure. He couldn't help muttering, "maybe I really can't understand your Majesty's mind. However, the Qiu family's case has passed for several years, and some people who remember to eat or not to beat have forgotten how Tianwei is. The Jiangnan King's family... Ha ha."

The meaning behind his sneer was even colder. Before the emperor came, he really just wanted to stand idly by. It was not a bad thing for him to make trouble between the border army and the children of the aristocratic family. Only when there were always some situations could the bodyguard not appear idle.

And his majesty came down, so he immediately slapped the king and flew out.

He has been favored for so many years because he can always make choices at critical times.

"How much did it take you to break open the painting as a prison?"

After a moment of silence, Luo Weiran couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Hou Wenji smiled, but his tone was flat and said, "Buyi didn't do my best, and I didn't do my best. However... Maybe Buyi was also guessing that I spent several percent of my cultivation."

Luo Weiran nodded and thought deeply.

In the distance, Zhuo Buyi ordered two flying fish robes to carry the unconscious Fang Xie out of the guest house and liberate Fang in his carriage. After he sat down in the carriage and pinched Fang Xie's wrist. A moment later, Zhuo Buyi's eyes suddenly changed.

The young man was as hot as if he were baking on the fire. His naked - exposed skin showed a strange red, as if the blood was flowing under the skin. And his whole body was as hard as iron, and his fingers pressed on his skin without even a dent.

Zhuo Buyi pinched Fang Xie's wrist and felt the abnormality in his body attentively.

"Seven orifices?"

He muttered to himself, "what's going on?"
