291 Chapter 280-Return

The short three days passed quickly, and finally it was time for Xiao Yijin to offer prisoners to Wang.

This early morning, Wang Du was very lively. People were walking in the streets and all the people were happy.Xiao Yi, the king of Zhennan, defeated Nanman, and captured the prince of Nanman. The news that he would enter the Wangdu to offer prisoners has spread throughout the capital.

The day was not yet completely bright. A group of people who went out to greet Xiao Yi and return to the Wangdu had already waited outside the Sanli Pavilion outside the Wangdu. The five princes were led by the emperor's royal order and waited for many ministers and ministers here.Thinking about the meaning of this prisoner devotion, everyone's waist is straight.

Nangong Xin volunteered to accompany the five princes to meet Xiao Yi today. He had long seen Qiushui. He knew that Xiao Yi was nearly half an hour away from here, but he couldn't help but stretch his neck and looked at the south.

I don't know how long time has passed. He didn't wait for Xiao Yi, but waited for Yuan Lingbai.

"Fortunately, I wasn't late." Yuan Lingbai wiped his sweat and jumped straight away from the horse.

Nangong Xin blinked in surprise, "Xiao Bai, I thought you could not come today."

It turned out that Bai had been racing all the way, lest he was late, and now he was finally relieved and said: "Brother and Xiao Hezi return triumphantly, how can I not come to admire their heroic posture!" He was delighted in his tone , Again showing a bit of envy.Xiaohezi is better this time, and he went to Nanjiang with his elder brother to meet the world, which is like him...

Yuan Ling Bozheng felt a little depressed. A royal forest army who went to investigate returned from the horse and shouted, "It's coming! It's coming! The prince's horse is less than five miles away from here!"

It is said that everyone waiting around Sanliting was refreshed and looked up to the south with Nangong Xin.

A little bit of time passed, and in the sight of a pair of eagerly looking forwards, a team of thousands appeared on the southern horizon, bathed in the sunshine of the early days, as if they had been plated with a layer of gold.In the army, several wooden prison cars appeared to be particularly eye-catching. In each prison car, several dark-skinned and shabby Nanban men were held.

"It's Big Brother! ... and Little Crane!" Yuan Lingbai exclaimed in surprise, jumped on the horse, and then caught the horse, and drove them towards Xiao Yi.

No, Xiao Yi and his party finally came to Sanliting. Xiao Yi, Fu Yunhe, Qian Moyang and others hurriedly dismounted, strode forward, bowed to the five princes and saluted: "Have seen the five princes!" After a few days After the rest, they have rejuvenated themselves, and everyone seems to be energetic and radiant.

"Brother Yi, cousin He, you are finally back." The five crown princes stepped forward with a smile and happily clenched their fists. "This palace came to meet your triumphant return at the order of the father emperor."

If Sister Yue and her aunt and grandmother saw Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe coming back safely, they didn't know how happy they would be. If they were to offer prisoners at noon today, the five princes would like to bring them together.

However, it would be good if the person came back and was not in a hurry.

The five princes settled down, and their mouths were slightly hooked.

To be honest, Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe were still somewhat surprised that the person who greeted them was the five princes. The two exchanged a look.It seems that during their absence, the emperor clearly paid more and more attention to the five princes. Too.

However, this is not a bad thing.

Although several people have many things to say in their hearts, today is an important day to offer prisoners to the emperor's Meridian Gate. The auspicious time is approaching, and no delay can be allowed for a moment. A group of people immediately set foot on the return to the capital of the king. Return home...

At the same time, the people in the Wangdu are eagerly anticipating.

Just like what Fu Yunyan said before, the main street leading to the palace from the south gate of the royal capital was cleared up early in the morning by the Imperial Forest Army wearing black armor, and the Imperial Forest Army on both sides of the street took one step at a time. The anger seemed to be saying, the idler flashed away.

Today, if you want to watch the king of the south of the town escort the Nanman captives into the city, you can only obediently squeeze behind the warning line set by the Yulin Army.Even so, the roads are still full of people who came to watch, and at a glance, this one The streets are crowded with people, and even the needle cannot be inserted.

The person with a little more leeway simply opened another shortcut, entered the teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the street, and waited, so that the genius was just bright, and the shops on both sides of South Street were already overcrowded.

Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan had a foresight, and came to the tea house they had booked three days ago early in the morning. Bai Hui and Lily were also accompanied.

Fu Yunyan showed the wooden sign of the reserved seat to Xiao Er, but he didn't want that Xiao Er to be cheeky: "Sorry, a few guests, there are many guests in the teahouse today. You have to be wronged. You share the elegant seat with other guests. ?" His words are very polite, but there is a touch of arrogance in his manners, as if to say: Anyway, there are many guests today, and you come or not!

Fu Yunyan frowned, although the teahouse's approach was not incomprehensible, but they were booked three days in advance. This business must be honest, how can it be so pricey!

Nangong Yue was also displeased in her heart, but today, when Xiao Yi came back, she really didn't want to lose her interest for this little thing.Fortunately, today, she and Fu Yunyan both changed their men's clothing for the purpose of sharing, sharing an elegant seat with others. In fact, it's nothing.

Nangong Yue took Fu Yunyan's hand and gestured with her eyes: forget it.

Fu Yunyan also didn't want to delay their plans for this day, so he could only hold his breath and his lips were straight.

Lily got Nangong Yue's eyes, so she stepped forward and said, "Then please ask our younger brother to take our son to the seat.

Hearing the words, Xiaoer burst into laughter and reached out to make a petition: "It's okay, please ask some grandfathers to come with the younger one!" He walked at the forefront and walked up the stairs briskly. Go up.

This tea house is where Qingya was originally located. The elegant seats on the second and third floors of the weekdays are particularly remote and quiet. However, today it is different. Only after walking up the stairs, I heard a loud noise.

Xiao Er introduced Nangong Yue to the second floor of the seat that they had visited before. Last time, there was only one table and a few chairs in this seat, but today it was not crowded and put four. One table, two tables by the window, and the other two tables by the wall, this humble approach looks like an elegant teahouse, but it is like a stall on the street where I heard books.

At this moment, there are already guests at all three tables, leaving only one by the window.

Nangong Yue When they entered the house, the elegant seat was quiet for a moment, and their eyes looked at them, and they chatted and chatted to the sky.

Xiao Er led Nangong Yue to the table by the window and said flatteringly: "Several guests are invited to sit, you are the seats reserved in advance, so the small specially left you a window position."

Lily was a little speechless for a while, but the second child was able to talk, and gave the seats they reserved to others.

Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan sat face to face across the table and listened to the young scholar at the other table next to them: "It is already half past the hour. It's time to be counted...The king of Zhennan is coming soon."

The middle-aged scholar opposite him said with some excitement: "Since General Guan has gone, it has been a long time since my Dayu has fought such a brisk victory! This Xiao Shizi really is the goalkeeper! It's a pity that I wait for the white body It’s a pity in my life that I can’t watch the Meridian offering prisoners!”

An old man at the other table couldn't help but interject: "The old man heard that today is His Royal Highness, the five princes, who was ordered by the emperor to go to Sanliting to meet Xiao Shizi. The old man lived to this age and hadn't seen the noble prince. Take a closer look here, this lifetime is worth it!"

"His Royal Highness is from the Queen, the emperor's sister-in-law! Maybe it will be the future Prince!"

"It seems that the Emperor really attached great importance to the offer of prisoners at the Meridian!"

"..."

The people at the other tables around me were also snorting. Suddenly, a middle-aged business man said, "Have you heard about the Nanman saint?"

"What Nanman saint?" The other people looked at each other. Most of the people here were Wangdu people. The impression of Nanman in the end is just word of mouth, or it is an accidental sum of history books and geographical records.I don’t know anything about what Nanman is like, what it is and its folk customs.

The middle-aged businessman was somewhat proud, saying: "I have been to Nanjiang several times before, and I still know a little about Nanman..." He said vividly about the rumors of the Nanman saint, and emphasized her again. What a strange woman.Finally, mysteriously stated the key point, "I heard that this time, the Nanman saint will also go to the king capital along with the king of Zhennan!"

The last sentence caused a commotion in this little seat, and everyone's eyes burst out with splendor. The young scholar couldn't help but ask: "The Nanman King sent that saint girl...what does that mean?"

"I still don't understand!" The middle-aged scholar looked at his companion contemptuously, and his expression was very meaningful, as if to say: It is a man who knows!

The young scholar said with a sigh of emotion: "The king of the south of the town is really a blessing!"

"That's natural. Same life with different lives!" said the middle-aged business man, who was a bit sour. "The Nanman saint is a little fascinating..."

"You said enough!" Fu Yunyan finally couldn't bear to smash the cup in his hand heavily on the table, making a "snapping" sound, "The king of the south of the town of Zhennan desperately defeated Nanban on the battlefield, but you people like this The long-tongued woman speculates behind her back, she is right or wrong, really ashamed!"

With that in mind, Fu Yunyan glanced at the opposite Nangong Yue with some worry, lest she was hurt by these people, but she didn't expect Nangong Yue to have any slight mustard on her face. So you don’t need to be angry about these unimportant things.”

The rumours of these markets are often only one point true, nine points exaggerated, she will not be stupid enough to doubt the gods because of this rumor.What's more, she believed in Xiao Yi.

Fu Yunyan also calmed down and said: Also, with his third brother Fu Yunhe watching, Xiao Yi should not have such a big dog gall!

The middle-aged businessmen saw that Fu Yunyan and Nangong Yue were just two hairless teenagers at the age of 13 or 4 years old, but they were talking like this to their elders. What's your concern? If you can't listen, you can plug your ears!"

The young scholar on the side was also displeased and did not have a good air: "This little brother, we said ours, and did not provoke you. If you cut your head, you will scold any long tongue woman, too..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise outside the window, and soon, excited shouts came one after another: "Come! It is His Royal Highness the Five Princes and the King of South China!"

"Look, people are outside the city gate."

"Is that His Highness the Five Princes?"

"..."

The people outside the teahouse were so loud that everyone in the seat suddenly forgot the discord just now. They could not wait to swarm to the window and stretched their necks to look in the direction of the city gate.

At this moment, the two sides of the South Street facing the city gate have boiled like boiling hot water.The people who have been waiting there for a long time are all emotional and waiting for each other.If there is a royal forest below to maintain order, those people may be afraid Already besieged to the city gate.

At the forefront were a young man and a teenager, each riding a high-headed horse, crossing the gates side by side, and behind them were more horse-drawn carriages of knights and officials.After that, they were dressed one by one. The soldiers in the black armour, with their gigantic enthusiasm, are lined up in a neat square. Seeing them walking neatly and indifferently, it is clear that they have all been on the battlefield and have seen blood on their hands.These soldiers just marched in such a way, which made people feel shocked, and even those in the teahouse were awe-inspiring.

Their eyes finally fell on the youngsters and young people in the forefront.When they saw that the youngsters were dressed in the prince's python robe, he knew that he must be His Royal Highness, and the young man beside him was wearing a silver armor. Tall and tall, with a bronze long sword hanging behind his back, a silver-white cloak flying in the breeze behind him, under the warm sunlight of the early spring, he seemed to be shining with silver light as if the god of war came to the world, beautiful , Sacred and noble, people almost dare not look at him.

"This...this is the king of Zhennan!" Yazhong, who does not know who sighed with emotion.

Everyone was looking at Xiao Yi, but Fu Yunyan was looking at Fu Yunhe behind Xiao Yi. The corner of his mouth could not help lifting, murmured: "It seems that the third brother does not lack arms and legs, it is very good!"

She just whispered softly, but the young scholar next to her was very ear-tip. After she was startled, she asked, "This little brother, your brother also went to the battlefield of Southern Xinjiang with Xiao Shizi?"

The scholar's words attracted everyone's eyes to Fu Yunyan, and there was a trace of respect in his eyes, and a sudden realization.

No wonder this little brother just seemed so indignant about the discussion behind Xiao Shizi behind them. Presumably his brother went to the battlefield with Xiao Shizi, so he felt a little bit empathetic.

Although the middle-aged businessmen always pride themselves on being thick-skinned, they are also a little embarrassed at the moment. They faced Fu Yunyan and clenched their fists: "Sorry brother, I was just talking nonsense, please don't worry about it."

Fu Yunyan was originally worried about Nangong Yue, otherwise she would not bother to deal with these strangers who know long and short, and now that the other party apologized, she waved bravely not to care about the other party.

The middle-aged businessman was relieved and couldn't help but looked back at Xiao Yi outside the window and said, "I have heard that the king of Zhennan is indifferent by nature. …It doesn’t look like today!” The middle-aged businessmen have also seen a little bit of the world. They have seen all kinds of people from south to north. This person has a temperament that can’t deceive people.

"I remember Xiao Shizi is married. With Xiao's appearance, I don't know who deserves it..." The young scholar stared at Xiao Yi below and sighed complicatedly.This is really better than others, angry, some people are born with a good background, good looks, and then have the ability to make people wonder whether they should be envious or jealous.

While the scholar was talking, Fu Yunyan gave Nangyong Yue a smile.This is due to the fact that A Yue looks pretty, otherwise the emperor's marriage is really a blessing! It's still her A Xin, which is just right!

Nangong Yue didn't care about Fu Yunyan's ridiculous look, or what other people said. At this moment, she was far away from her hustle and bustle, and there was only Xiao Yi in her eyes.

She looked at him in an instant, although she had seen Xiao Yi a few days ago and knew that he was well, but now he was watching him enter the city in the cheers of the people, watching him look heroic...her The corner of his mouth couldn't help but he was full of satisfaction: Ayi, he really came back!

Suddenly, Xiao Yi, who walked slowly below, seemed to feel something.He turned to look at the second floor of the tea house.When the four eyes met, the coldness on Xiao Yi's face faded, and the smile quickly bloomed on his face. Vigorous, make people feel like spring breeze.

He raised his right hand and waved hard to Nangong Yue, his lips slightly moved, and said silently, "Smelly girl, I'm back!"

Nangong Yue couldn't help but laugh more heartily, just about to wave her hand, he heard a silly voice beside him, "Look, look, Ye Shizi is waving with me!"

"No, just follow me!"

"it's me!"

"..."

Not only the few people in the seat, but also the people next to the restaurant and the people on the street outside were turbulent because of Xiao Yi's waving action.The atmosphere at the gate of the city arrived at Gao Chao in a moment, and everyone waved enthusiastically. He smiled with joy.

Until Xiao Yi's team went away, the atmosphere had not cooled down.

Several people in the seat returned to their seats. The middle-aged scholar said with emotion: "This rumor is really not credible! I think this Xiao Shizi is really a young hero!"

"Yes, yes!" The old man also nodded his head straightly, "I think Shiziye is simply Wuquxing in the sky!"

The young scholar suddenly looked at Fu Yunyan and said: "This Xiongtai, since your elder brother has followed Xiao Shizi to fight, presumably you know a little bit about Xiao Shizi, can you tell us about it..."

Fu Yunyan's eyes rolled round and was stirred up with interest, and he talked to them about the matter of the Zhennan Wangfu, and Lily also added a few words from time to time... "The mother has a father". The roughness is the same even when you arrive at the palace of the royal family. Some people sighed. I heard that the princess of Zhennan seized the industry of the stepson. I thought it was just a rumor. I didn't expect it to be true. Yeah!

When Nangong Yue came back to God, she saw a group of people both sympathetic and admiring Xiao Yi, and he quickly described him as an inspirational example - father did not hurt mother and love, but he did not go crooked and worked hard up!

Nangongyue had originally lost sight of Xiao Yiyuan's back, but now it disappeared, and she smiled at Fu Yunyan and Lily, and several people left to come to Yunchao.

After leaving the teahouse, Fu Yunyan parted ways with Nangong Yue, and went back to the palace of the Changchun Princess. The Fu family is also waiting for Fu Yunhe's news. She has to go back to the house and talk to them.

And Nangong Yue also hurried back to the palace of Zhennan. Before Xiao Yi returned to the palace, she still had a lot of preparation work to do... Counting time, Xiao Yi would go to Wumen to offer prisoners, and then the emperor must still recruit him Inquired into the palace, she estimated that when Xiao Yi came out of the palace, I am afraid that at least it would have passed Shen Shi, and the time was still relatively ample.

Not only did Nangong Yue leave, but the other people who watched the lively near the city gate also gradually dispersed, and there was still something in their hearts.

The scene at Nancheng Gate ended, but for Xiao Yi, today's prisoner offering ceremony has just begun.

Go straight down the South Street from the South City Gate.At the end of the road is the main entrance of the Royal Palace. After passing through the palace gate, the Imperial Forest Army on both sides of the Royal Road becomes more dense. Five steps and one post, each one is solemn and extends to Before midday.

On the large Wumen Square, the princes and ministers of the civil and military bureaucrats, dressed in court clothes, had already been arranged in classes like the previous dynasty.The Wumen Tower has been set up with a throne, with a yellow cover under the eaves, and the halogen book is located under the Wumen Tower, which is lined up to the end door.

The sun was getting higher and higher. Suddenly the golden bell rang on the noon gate, followed by the golden drums and clams. All the officials knelt down in the direction of the noon gate and called out the long live.

After a while, the emperor in the bright yellow dragon robe, surrounded by many inner guards and guards, appeared like a star on the tall Wumen tower, rising to the throne.

The emperor was sitting on a high throne, looking down on the hundred officials kneeling and bowing down below, and he was full of enthusiasm.

The emperor raised his hand, and the music stopped, and the princes, officials, and civil and military officials stood up.

Following the courtesan of the Libe, he shouted: "Provide a prisoner!"

Although his voice was high and loud, but this Wumen Square was so big, his voice fell like a small stone into the sea, and he couldn't excite a trace of waves at all, but at the same time as his words fell, the nearest Imperial Forest Army followed Zhi Gao shouted: "Provide prisoners!"

One pass, two pass, four pass, four pass eight... From Wumen to Duanmen and Gongmen all the way to the past, and in the end, hundreds of Imperial Foresters shouted in unison: "Provide prisoners!"

The sounds overlapped, like a thunderous thunder, with great momentum, almost resounding through the sky.

Followed by another drum masterpiece, the salute roared.

A young man wearing silver-white armor walked forward with hundreds of scorching eyes, and it was clearly Xiao Yi, the king of Zhennan.Behind him, a young man in a white prison uniform and a white rope was escorted by sixteen tall soldiers and walked into Wumen Square.

When he reached the bottom of the Wumen Tower, Xiao Yi knelt on one knee and saluted the emperor with his fists: "The emperor, he served the purpose to calm down the southern Xinjiang, and captured the prince Kui Lang of Nanman as a prisoner.

While he was kneeling, Kui Lang, who was wearing a prison uniform, was forced to kneel down by the Dayu soldiers behind him, and he humbly lay on the ground.

The Emperor smiled and looked at Xiao Yi and Dragon Heart Joy below. It is conceivable that today's scene will surely go down in history.

The emperor commanded: "Transfer the prisoners of war to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Lifan Yuan to discuss together!"

After the emperor's decree, Kui Lang was forced to bow down to the emperor again.

Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs ordered several officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to take over Kui Lang from the soldiers under Xiao Yi and to be escorted.

In addition to Kui Lang, there were also a handful of Nanman generals who were also transferred to the Penal Department for disposal.

Finally, the civil and military officials once again gave the emperor three kneels and nine knocks, and congratulated the emperor. Until then, the ceremony of offering prisoners was truly over.

Everyone else could go away, only Xiao Yi was called to the Imperial Study by the emperor.

The emperor kindly gave him to sit down, and ordered people to have tea, as if gossip was common, and asked about the situation in southern Xinjiang.

Xiao Yi was also polite, eating snacks, using tea, and said in his mouth: "...Emperor Uncle, you don't know, those Nanmans just angered the angry people in Nanjiang. Going back to fight against Nanban, we are all grateful. The people attacked in groups, and this battle may not be won."

The emperor was in a good mood, and he even laughed even more.

Xiao Yi continued: "When the nephew left, the people of South Xinjiang sent each other one by one on the roadside, and asked the nephew to bring you a million-people umbrella to give you."

"Wanmin Umbrella?" The emperor's eyes lit up and said with interest, "Where is this Wanmin Umbrella, let me see."

"My nephew kept her close to her all the way, so she didn't dare to loosen it in one step.... Grandpa Liu, please trouble you to get it."

Knowing that the emperor was in a good mood, Liu Gonggong said with a smile: "The minions have never seen the Umbrella, and thanks to the emperor's blessing, this time, the minions can open their eyes."

The emperor laughed haha ​​and waved to let Grandpa Liu go quickly.

Speaking of it, the emperor had only heard of Wanmin Umbrella in the drama. It is said that only when the clean and clear Qing official leaves the post, will the people spontaneously send a Wanmin Umbrella.Unexpectedly, I can receive it one day, which is really what the people want.

The emperor happily waited. Not long afterwards, Grandpa Liu walked in with a mulberry umbrella. The emperor hurriedly let him open it. I saw that the umbrella was decorated with small silk ribbons, each of which was They all have a name written on them, and "Long live my emperor, long live, long live", countless silk strips have covered all the mulberry umbrellas, and almost all of them overlap.Some of the words above are correct, some are skewed, and each one is different in writing, so it is not a forgery at a glance.

The emperor was very satisfied, the smile on his face was growing, and he looked down at each piece of silk with interest, and suddenly looked up and said, "Ai, is this?" His hand was holding a piece of silk In addition to the name, there is also a red fingerprint on this silk ribbon. Look closely. There are many similar silk ribbons in this umbrella.

Xiao Yi explained with a smile: "There are many people who are illiterate, but they also want to express their gratitude to the emperor uncle, so they went to find a teacher, wrote silk, and pressed themselves Fingerprints."

"So it turns out..."

The emperor was moved by the names of "Li Ergou", "Chen Dazhuang", "Zhang Ada" and so on.What touched him even more was Xiao Yi. Even if he was far away in southern Xinjiang, Xiao Yi did not forget himself...The emperor knew very well that if Xiao Yi deliberately preached, how could the people far away in southern Xinjiang know their wise decisions? .

The King's Mansion in Zhennan is a vassal king, and if he is someone else, he has already attributed the credit to his own and has won the hearts of the people.Only Xiao Yi would be so sincere.

"Ai, you worked hard this time..." the emperor looked at him lovingly and said, "rest in the house for a few days, I will send you an errand again."

Xiao Yi grinned and said in full measure: "Emperor Uncle, you have a long vacation for your nephew! The nephew hasn't seen his wife in a long time!"

The emperor answered happily, "Then I will leave you for a month, which is always enough!"

Xiao Yi thanked her with joy, and then turned to the topic, saying: "Emperor Uncle, this time the nephew came back and brought back the envoy of Nanman, they said they came to negotiate."

The emperor frowned, "Envoy?" He didn't seem to see any envoy, "Where is the envoy?"

"It's with Kuilangguan. It seems that there is another woman, locked in another prison car, and just handed it to the penal department.... Now it should be in jail in the penal department."

The emperor was dumbfounded and thought: Xiao Yi seems to have grown a lot on this trip to southern Xinjiang, but it is still unreliable! How can there be an imprisoned prisoner...

-Digression-
