Chapter 6 6. Lanba Academy (1) (Revised)
The carriage bearing the emblem of the Tiandou royal family slowly drove towards the gate of Tiandou City.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tiandou Empire will arrive in his loyal Tiandou City today.
In the Tiandou Empire, the family emblem of the Tiandou royal family is a pass that does not require any reason, whether it is in the direct jurisdiction of the Tiandou Empire or in private territories such as the Gulei Kingdom, the Balak Kingdom, and the Tianshuang Principality. No one has the right to ask a person who holds the Tiandou royal family crest to cooperate with anything, except Emperor Xueye.
Today, the well-known and virtuous Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Tiandou Empire has returned from seeking talents. At this juncture when Emperor Xue Ye's body is gradually weakening, Emperor Xue Ye is indifferent to Prince Xue Qinghe's behavior of forming a team. In fact, it is a kind of Very sensitive signal.
Many people are wondering whether Emperor Xue Ye is paving the way for his proudest son, Xue Qinghe, so that Xue Qinghe can take over the government as quickly as possible after his death.
Xue Qinghe's personal ability is beyond doubt.
In recent years, Emperor Xue Ye had been unable to do anything, so most of the memorials were reviewed by Xue Qinghe, which fully allowed the ministers to see the talents of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Now, Emperor Xue Ye has released this very obvious signal again - Prince Xue Qinghe made a report half a month ago, saying that he wanted to invite a talented person to join the prince's mansion. Emperor Xue Ye didn't even ask, and just said Hui, agreed; it was difficult not to make the ministers think too much.
Among the people in the world, there are only a few who are foolish and loyal, those who are clear and loyal are rare in the world, there are countless speculators, and those who are neutral and lonely are hard to find throughout the ages.
No, before Prince Tiandou's carriage arrived at the gate of Tiandou City, a group of low-level officials with various intentions, but who were all nominally "accidental encounters", gathered near the city gate, trying to I had a chance encounter with the Crown Prince at the gate of the city.
In addition, I also want to meet the person whom His Royal Highness the Crown Prince calls a talented person.
It doesn’t matter whether this virtuous person is a true virtuous person or not.
As long as he is a talented person in the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince, it is enough for speculators like them, enough for them to praise him personally.
The strange scene of so many low-level officials gathering at the city gate also attracted a lot of curious eyes. Even the guard guarding the city gate came over, thinking that there was some big trouble. A dozen officials of similar rank to him were gathered here. When he walked over and asked, he found out that these people had received gossip that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to return to the city today, and the city gate guard did not dare to do so. He was indifferent, while directing the guards at the door to clear the main road quickly and prepare to welcome His Royal Highness into the city, while being polite to these low-level officials.
The princelings are at their peak.
Who doesn’t want to hug their thighs?
As for why the main road needs to be cleared, it is because the prince's carriage is too big, six meters long and four meters wide, close to the size of a bedroom. This is not extravagant and wasteful, but the pomp that a prince of a country should have.
If anyone takes this stain, which is not a stain, to find fault in the eggs, and goes to Emperor Xue Ye to accuse the prince Xue Qinghe and criticize Xue Qinghe for not being diligent and frugal, Emperor Xue Ye will give this person two slaps to make him sober up. It ranges from being deprived of official position to being beheaded in public display.
When the co-author comes to your mouth, shouldn’t we, the Tiandou royal family, talk about pomp?
Suppose the princes of the two countries meet.
The crown prince of the Star Luo Empire rode in a spacious and luxurious carriage.
But my son could only ride in a narrow little carriage with buckles and buttons.
The national prestige has been lost, and diligence and thrift are of no use!
Our Tiandou Empire is rich!
As long as it doesn't hurt the common people, my best son can spend it as he wants!
Moreover, there are also some occasions that have extremely demanding requirements on details. For example, when a duke gets married and the prince celebrates on behalf of the emperor, can you let the prince wear patchwork clothes to attend the wedding because he is diligent and thrifty?
That’s not what thrift is!
It is right to be diligent and frugal where you should be diligent and frugal, but where you cannot be diligent and frugal, you cannot be frugal at all!
Being too diligent and frugal will ruin things!
It’s hard to be a city gate guard!
If the main road is not cleared, will His Royal Highness be allowed to line up?
Is he tired of living or is Emperor Xue Ye's sword dull?
Because of this, no matter who you are, even if it is the fourth prince Xue Beng, you must stand aside. There are only two kinds of people in the world who can stop him from clearing the main road. The first is His Highness the Crown Prince and Emperor Xue Ye, and the second is Lian. A titled Douluo that both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Emperor Xue Ye should respect.
The action of the city gate guard aroused curiosity in a short period of time, but over time, due to the inconvenience of transportation, it aroused dissatisfaction.
Among the bustling crowd, discussions gradually began.
Shrek and his team are one of them.
"What's going on?"
Ma Hongjun stood on both sides of the main road, looking at the crowds of people around him. He was full of irritation, especially when he saw that there was no one on the spacious main road in the center, only the city gate guard and a dozen officials. Impatient.
He muttered out of habit.
Vent your dissatisfaction.
But unexpectedly, Qin Ming gave him the answer: "This is the scene for welcoming large carriages; if they are merchants from all over the world, they will not go through this door. This door is the farthest one from the market, so it should not be a certain one." A large carriage of a business; I heard that half a month ago, His Highness the Crown Prince went to hire a talented person. It has been half a month. Judging from the scene at the moment, His Highness the Crown Prince must have returned, and he may want to enter through this door. …”
"Even so, is it too exaggerated?" "How big a carriage is it?"
"Is it worth clearing a main road ten meters wide?"
Oscar looked in disbelief.
Dai Mubai was also a little surprised.
The Star Luo Empire is far less wealthy than the Tiandou Empire.
Moreover, the Star Luo Empire also pays attention to the use of military force to establish nobility.
Riding in a carriage is the most looked down upon.
A good man will change his horse and whip and scold Fang Qiu.
So he couldn't imagine how huge a carriage was that was worth clearing a ten-meter-wide road just to allow this carriage to pass smoothly.
Flanders, Yu Xiaogang, Zhao Wuji and others are also unable to imagine it.
But Ning Rongrong can.
Not only that, she even sat on it.
The premise is that His Highness the Prince has not changed his carriage in the past seven or eight years.
When she was young, around five years old, the Crown Prince worshiped her father as his teacher. At that time, in order to show his sincerity as a disciple, the Crown Prince personally sent her and her father back to the Qibao Glazed Sect. At that time, Grandpa Jian was also present, so she had an impression of the spacious carriage when she was very young.
Unexpectedly, seven or eight years have passed in the blink of an eye.
I haven’t seen this nominal senior brother in seven or eight years.
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but sigh, but quickly cheered up again. She looked down at Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun with the eyes of country bumpkin, like a arrogant ragdoll cat, hugging Arm, hitting these people who usually looked down on her, especially Dai Mubai, who had had conflicts with her: "If he hadn't changed the carriage, it should have been six meters long, four meters wide, and two meters high. The four-wheeled carriages on the left and right. From what I know about him, the Crown Prince you are talking about is a quite simple man. There are only a few family crests of the Tiandou royal family on the carriage. When I was young, my father and I Grandpa Jian sat here, he was the one who sent us back to Qibao Glazed Sect. Speaking of which, why don’t I go find him and tell the old man Xue Xing’s condition, and take care of that little Xue Beng in the meantime?” br>
"No, no, no, no, farewell, little aunt..." Zhao Wuji was startled: "We all know that His Highness the Crown Prince is a disciple of Sect Master Ning, but we better not get involved in disputes within the royal family like this!"
"Old Zhao is right." Flanders pushed up his pair of rigid black-rimmed glasses and used the reflection of the lenses to cover his tired eyes. Suddenly, he looked a bit like a death-god primary school student, already feeling guilty: "Let's You can add insult to injury, but you must not be the one who stirs up trouble!”
After hearing what the dean and vice-dean said, Ning Rongrong stopped insisting.
To be honest, she didn't know that after seven or eight years, the Crown Prince could still deny that she recognized her. Even with her father's relationship, it was impossible for the Crown Prince not to help her with this small favor, but in case he didn't Recognize her and wait for her to introduce her identity. Even if there is a chance to make amends afterwards, she will be very embarrassed at the time.
However, what Ning Rongrong didn't expect was that His Highness the Crown Prince, who arrived at the city gate in a carriage, actually recognized her in the crowd?
Watching the blond young man get off the carriage.
Step by step, he walked into the crowd that was evacuated by the guards for the second time.
Walked up to her and Shrek's group.
Ning Rongrong was completely confused.
"Junior sister?"
The Crown Prince's tone was somewhat uncertain.
Ning Rongrong didn't answer.
He emphasized his tone and repeated: "Ning Rongrong?"
"Ah?" Ning Rongrong responded subconsciously, and then noticed his gaffe. He nodded sheepishly to this senior brother he hadn't seen for seven or eight years. Considering that this was the gate of the city, and there were countless pairs of eyes staring at it, he continued Staying here will only lead to death in public, so he quickly responded: "It's me, Senior Brother, His Royal Highness..."
