Chapter 309 I have never seen the world like this
The exciting, roaring and tsunami-like shouts, this scene of thousands of troops, made the Su family members return to the car one by one with a drunken blush. on the train, talking excitedly in the small carriage.
The Su family is a dilapidated marquis. If a king can emerge, the ancestral graves are smoking.
The image of today's civil and military officials and countless soldiers supporting Su Chen as he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor is still imprinted in the minds of the Su family. At this time, they were still trembling slightly while sitting in the car.
“This is the first time I have seen so many soldiers and generals.”
"What is this? Third brother still has a few troops in the Central Plains... Recently I heard that there are more than 200,000 cavalry on the grassland."
As he spoke, the carriage entered the city and turned towards Xia Xia. The Royal Palace was rebuilt from the original General's Palace and was not specially built. Even in the prosperous capital city, it occupies a large area and is magnificent in scale. After all, this is the residence of the power holders of the entire Northland and the Central Plains.
Four carriages passed through the spacious street and stopped in front of the palace with two large stone lions. The Su family arrived here first. Looking at the towering and majestic gate, Hua Hongzhen covered her mouth in shock. , her mother-in-law is a merchant, and the size of the Marquis's Mansion is already very large, but in front of the Prince's Mansion, she looks petty.
As soon as she got out of the car, she couldn't help but hold on to her husband's cuffs, she was so excited that she couldn't control herself.
"Husband, this is where my uncle lives? I have always heard people say that every inch of land in Yanjing City is very valuable. To decorate the interior of such a large mansion, my uncle must have spent a lot of money."
Su Lie, who couldn't stand his wife, was so shocked by such a mansion that he forgot to answer Hua Hongzhen's words. Looking at the gate of the palace and the soldiers standing guard on both sides, he felt a little dazed.
After a while, Fang Xuejun, who was coming from behind, got off his horse, walked over with a smile, and handed the reins to the soldiers who came forward to salute. During this time, the old Jianghu atmosphere was completely gone, and he came over generously. Blessings were given to the two elders of the Su family, and then the eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother and second sister-in-law were saluted one by one.
The etiquette is so thorough that no one can find any fault.
Seeing that the woman's hair was in a women's bun, Su Congfang and Xiao Wei looked at each other, pursed their lips and chuckled, without revealing it, and pulled Fang Xuejun in front of them with a smile. , the more I watch it, the more I like it.
The old woman also took off the jade bracelet from her wrist, "Mr. It’s in your hands.”
"Yes..." Fang Xuejun was thinking clearly, and he didn't understand that the two elders had already seen it. He took the bracelet from the woman with a red face and held it carefully in his palm.
Sister-in-law Yin Suhuan came over, leaned next to Xuejun, and whispered a few words in her ear, and the two girls immediately chuckled.
Hua Hongzhen pursed her lips and turned her face to one side.
"Oh, just talking, I almost forgot to invite the Marquis and the old lady to come into the house." Fang Xuejun quickly waved to the steward who greeted him at the door, then stepped forward to help Xiao Wei, and then He said to Su Congfang, Su Yong, and Su Lie: "I will take you around the palace. I just asked the steward to prepare a carriage."
Su Yong and Su Lie looked stunned: "Uh... a carriage?"
At this time, Su Congfang and Xiao Wei were also stunned. Hua Hongzhen hurriedly stepped forward and took the initiative to hold Fang Xuejun in his arms. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "A carriage ride in the palace?"
"I want to visit the palace. You need to take a car, otherwise you won’t be able to finish the journey.”
Fang Xuejun smiled and told the story of the day when he first came to the palace and walked around the palace with his senior sister Li Wangqiu.
“It was really tiring that day, haha!”
They are all skilled Jianghu people, let alone ordinary women and old women like Xiao Wei, Yin Suhuan, and Hua Hongzhen. , I am afraid that I will be too tired to walk even after walking two miles.
Huahong was really dumbfounded. She couldn't imagine how big this palace was. She looked at Fang Xuejun with a longing expression, "Then where do you guys live on weekdays? Do you have to take a carriage to the palace every time you come here?"
" Don't be embarrassed." Su Lie pulled his wife and frowned: "The Marquis Mansion is quite big. Will the residence be built in the back?"
"I'm asking my sister-in-law..." Hua Hong is really not interested. He turned his hand impatiently, freed the cuffs from her husband's fingers, and hurriedly followed Fang Xuejun in front of him, who was looking at and asking questions.
Just the distance from the Feng Shui wall to the front yard covers an area of eight acres. The Feng Shui wall is as tall as a city wall, with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, and clouds and mist painted with various colors of paint. It is as lifelike as if it can break through the wall at any time. , giving people a great sense of oppression.
Everyone felt as if they were walking under the city wall. They carefully walked around to the back, and there were spacious rock-carved square bricks paved all the way forward. There were stone lanterns on both sides, and maids and servants were coming and going in the front hall. Under the eaves, a family banquet was being held. Su Congfang entered the hall and did not see his son. He thought he had gone back home after the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, but now there was no one, so he turned back and asked Fang Xuejun who was supporting Xiao Wei.
"By the way, where is Changsheng?"
Before Fang Xuejun could speak, the old woman leaned on her crutches and said, "He is the King of Xia. Naturally, he still has many things to deal with. It's not like you are an idle prince."
"You...have done something to me again!" Su Congfang has lost his temper with his old wife. Since the youngest son became powerful, everyone in the family has been basically the same. The old wife had the final say, and Su Yong, as the crown prince, had almost lost all power and handed over all the rights of the Hou Mansion to the talented man named Xun Yu.
After being a Marquis for so many years, Su Congfang didn’t know what her eldest son was thinking.
He didn't say much, and even cooperated very well. After all, harmony between brothers is the most important thing, and everything else is just a cloud.
Not many people came to the Su family, only two tables were seated, and there were six or seven empty tables in the hall. They probably understood that they were prepared for Su Chen and the civil and military personnel under his command.
"Let's wait for Changsheng. When he comes back, we can eat again." Xiao Wei sat next to her husband. She didn't take chopsticks, and her sons, daughters-in-law, and relatives around her didn't move either.
"Mom is right. Let's wait for our third brother. We are a family. We finally get together and we have to be neat and tidy no matter what." Su Lie smiled. As for the wink from his wife next to him, He didn't bother to answer.
The family was chatting about home affairs at the dinner table, and said that they would take a ride together in the palace after dinner. At this moment, there was a sound outside.
"Transfer to the palace, do you need me to accompany you?"
I saw Su Chen striding over in a black royal robe with gold patterns. There were two huge bodyguards on the left and right. Wu Zixun was coming, and behind him was a large group of civil servants and generals, coming in a mighty manner.
Everyone in the Su family in the hall quickly stood up and saluted. Wu Huizhi saw Wu Zixun following King Xia and cast an appreciative look.
“Meet the King!”
Except for the two old men, almost everyone in the Su family bowed their hands and saluted Su Chen as he entered.
"There are no outsiders here, so we don't have to be so polite as a family. Don't we have to call ourselves alone if we don't see me? I'm going to starve to death when I eat!" Su Chen waved to them with a smile.
Immediately, I walked to sit next to my parents. Lu Bu, Huo Qubing, Li Jing, Jia Xu and other civil servants and generals who followed in walked to the empty table while talking, and each found a seat to sit down.
He turned to the people who were looking at him and said with a smile: "Eat!"
......
The sky was walking among the clouds.
The news of the support of all the soldiers and the court's decree to abdicate the throne to King Xia has spread in the city, and many people have begun to run around and form cliques secretly. In the process of power transfer, there will inevitably be a disturbance, and everyone will unite. , it is possible to survive.
In the Qin Mansion, Minister of the Ministry of War, Qin Tingwen was lying on the couch. Hearing the news, she felt sad and angry.
As the night fell, he forced himself out of bed, took a sip of wine, looked out the window at the night sky, his eyes were red, and his voice was choked in his throat: "The emperors of the Great Yan Dynasty, that treacherous minister and traitor I am about to ascend the throne and proclaim myself emperor. I, my old minister Qin Tongwen, can't stand you and can't protect the country..."
The night was lonely, with only the chirping of insects in the grass playing in the courtyard. The old man staggered a few steps and walked to In front of the desk, holding on to the edge of the desk, he picked up the sharpened ink, picked up the pen and ink, and rustled words on the paper. He wrote many copies, and then called the steward in the house to deliver these letters, and told him to write them by hand. Put it into the other party's hands.
On February 17th, the third year since the beginning of Qianqian, the news that the Emperor of Yan State was about to abdicate was still fermenting. At this time, news came from the Western Regions. Zhanmi State, Tiele State, and Guiyan State were close to the west. The envoys of the Three Kingdoms on the grassland have entered Yantang Pass, then passed through Longyang County and headed to the capital to pay homage to King Xia.
At the same time, Qin Tong heard several handwritten letters and sent them to several veterans of the court. After the sky fell, they all gathered in the Shangshu Mansion to plan major events.
