Majestic Beijing.
The city is majestic.
Just the defenders of Jinghua City looked so extraordinary at first glance. Full of energy and sharp eyes. Even Liu Zheng, the man who single-handedly created the invincible Liangzhou Army, still took a deep breath when he saw the Jinghua Army.
Elite!
This is the real elite!
Although there were only a few thousand defenders at this time, Liu Zheng did not hesitate to believe that their combat effectiveness was comparable to tens of thousands.
Such a majestic city is difficult to conquer.
It is this Jinghua City that dominates the Central Plains that has protected the Xie family of the royal family from generation to generation. Over the past thousands of years, the Xie family has not experienced crises, but it is precisely because of the existence of Jinghua City that it can resist powerful enemies in the world, which has ensured that the Xie family has a long-lasting and lasting history.
Of course Liu Zheng knew that Jinghua was not only the defenders, but also had various impregnable fortifications, agencies, underground passages, watchtowers and communication towers. There are even unimaginable granaries and fireproof and waterproof measures. These thousands of years of heritage make it impossible for those with evil intentions to attack Jinghua.
Liu Zheng was in awe of such a city.
At this time, the area outside Jinghua City was already overcrowded.
Liu Zheng took a deep breath, held the imperial document in his hand, rode forward on his horse, and shouted: "The Holy Lord declares that Princess Longyang returns to the capital and recognizes her ancestors!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone knelt down and worshiped.
"Welcome Princess Longyang!"
"Welcome Princess Longyang to the capital!"
"Congratulations to Your Highness Princess, recognize your ancestor and return to your clan!"
Next, there is a more cumbersome and lengthy procedure. Ma Zhizhong, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, first came over with the imperial guard of honor. According to the rules of the Longyan Dynasty, the exiled prince and princess must go through a lot of procedures when they return. The natural beginning was to kneel down and worship at the ancestral temple. Zongzheng Temple read out the genealogy and confirmed Xie Chan's position in the genealogy. The historian was responsible for cooperating with him to prove the authenticity of Xie Chan's identity.
After the blood relationship is confirmed, the scene will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites to continue the process of thanking Chan and returning to the ancestral temple.
Bow to the ancestors, bow to the ancestors, and then bow to the current saint.
Along the way, various ritual music was played and various chants were sung.
Although Xie Chan took the trouble, she could only let the Ministry of Etiquette and a bunch of maids in the harem torment her.
grand.
The scene was very solemn.
It was so grand that Liu Zheng sighed helplessly.
The flattery from the prince's side really put a lot of pressure on him. Look at this appearance, today the prince still does not miss the opportunity to praise and kill Xie Chan!
as expected.
Just when the process here was almost complete, Xie Chan had already put on the clothes belonging to the princess under the service of the maids.
At this time.
Finally, a group of carriages slowly drove out from Jinghua City.
"Hurry up!"
"Follow up, keep up!"
"Hurry up! Stop grinding!"
Everyone looked around.
Looking at it, almost everyone had a meaningful look on their face. The first one to come out to greet Princess Longyang turned out to be none other than the lord of the East Palace, Prince Xie Fang!
and……
Look at this battle, it’s really quite big.
One carriage, two carriages... three, four...
A total of eight carriages!
This is……
Only the prince is qualified to enjoy the battle of eight emperors!
Many people looked at each other with a look of excitement flashing in their eyes.
This prince is a bit murderous today...
Because the guard of honor he put out at this time was obviously a guard of honor to welcome the prince!
This means that you, Xie Chan, have been in a turmoil recently, don't you want to compete with me for the position of prince?
Heart-breaking!
Xie Fang could only kill people with just a nod, which was equivalent to putting Xie Chan and Liu Zhizhou on the fire rack!
Experts like Ma Zhizhong also changed their expressions when they saw the eight luxury carriages side by side.
What does this prince want to do?
…
"Liu Zhizhou has entered Beijing!"
"Liu Zhizhou has entered Beijing!"
"Quick, quick, come and see the excitement! Go and see what Princess Longyang looks like!"
The whole Beijing.
Everyone became lively.
Some people want to see Princess Longyang, whose good reputation is spread all over the world. Naturally, there are also many fans of Liu Zhizhou who want to see their idol with their own eyes.
"Sister Manqing..."
at this time.
Upstairs in Long Yan Feng Ming, a woman with a lonely back was sitting there quietly, playing the piano with both hands.
A maid next to her couldn't help shouting.
"Don't talk, okay..."
Shen Manqing smiled sadly and said, "I know he's coming, that's all."
The maid was a little angry: "How could this be..."
"What else?"
Shen Manqing said lightly: "He came with Princess Longyang... If there are no mistakes, he will definitely become the consort."
"Then..."
The maid still felt aggrieved for her young lady.
Shen Manqing gave up her innocence in front of the whole world for Liu Zheng, and then she was in Beijing, thinking about it day and night, but what she waited for was the news that Liu Zheng and Xie Chan were together...
Shen Manqing chuckled: "Silly girl, if you think about it this way, your young lady is just a guilty person. It is precisely because she met the young master that she was able to be as noble as a princess and call her sister. Where is Taoist sister..."
"As for status, is it important?"
She slowly stood up and said with a calm face: "You can find the young master from Yinzhou, Manqing. You can find the young master from Liangzhou, Manqing... You can find the young master from Hanzhong, Manqing..."
"But now..."
"The young master who came to Beijing, Man Qing, can't be found."
"Manqing, it is a stigma to both the young master and the princess..."
"Miss!"
…
Everyone at the scene changed their expressions when they saw the eight carriages arranged by Prince Xie Fang.
The happy atmosphere at the scene just now disappeared in an instant.
The Battle of the Eight Riders!
East Palace Honor Guard!
According to the laws of the Longyan Dynasty, the prince of the East Palace can enjoy eight rides, and the prince who has been granted the title of king can enjoy six rides. There are no princes who can be crowned kings, only four princes.
It stands to reason that Xie Chan has the most of the four chariots.
But now Xie Fang directly greeted her with the battle of eight chariots...
This is a blatant attempt to show off one's face!
"This, this, this, Your Highness, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, cannot be done, it cannot be done!"
Ma Zhizhong was sweating profusely.
Others also followed suit.
Xie Fang was riding on the horse and laughed loudly: "What can't be done? Tsk, tsk, tsk, I think that my sister is worthy of the honor guard of the East Palace! Oh, I don't mean anything else, I just think that my sister has been a guard of honor in the past few years. , living outside, very miserable. As my brother, I will share my father's worries, compensate you, and give you the best. What's mine is yours! These are brothers and sisters, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Peat brother and sister!
The misery of peat!
Peat compensation!
You are simply a murderous knife!
Many people looked at Liu Zheng at the same time.
This prince was so sharp when he first appeared.
How will Liu Zhizhou deal with it?
Seeing Xie Fang's arrogance at this time, Liu Zheng also chuckled.
Things in the world are so helpless. Once upon a time, he and Xie Fang were comrades in the same camp, but this time they met, they were enemies, and they were extremely jealous. It is true that the royal family has no brothers.
"Liu Zhizhou, you're fine!"
Xie Fang first acted arrogantly here, then took a deep breath, pretending to be domineering, and looked at Liu Zheng.
Actually...
Facing Liu Zheng, he still had fear in his heart. It was the fear and powerlessness of being crushed again and again.
However……
Now is the critical moment in the battle for the heir, he cannot be cowardly, absolutely cannot be cowardly!
Now that the matter has come to this, he should come over today to show off his face!
Thinking this, his eyes slowly became firmer.
Who wants to.
Liu Zheng smiled and said something, and he immediately succeeded.
He cupped his hands towards the crown prince Xie Fanggong and said with a smile: "As the ancients said, the dead are the most important. Your Highness, the Prince's battle today, is most appropriate for His Highness the Third Prince who just passed away. What do you think, Prince?"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the audience changed instantly.
