After the surprise was over, he calmed down a little. He recalled the content of the imperial edict and said in surprise: "Brother, although it is stated in the imperial edict, I still want to ask, is it possible that King Yong is responsible for the child's death?" Your Majesty will pardon a villain only if he asks for it?"
The big man curled his lips and said, "What do you think? The only one who can make the saint pardon you is King Yong. Oh, no, King Yong is no longer King Yong now."
"Ah? Could it be that His Highness has changed his title?"
"It's not that the title has been changed, but that His Highness is now the prince. You are in Luoyang, but you never read the notice. Don't you know that the edict has been made clear to the world?"
"this...."
Li Xian pinched his face. It hurt. It was not a dream!
His Highness Li Xian became the crown prince? Although he knew about the death of Prince Hong, he never expected that Prince Hongcai would pass away and His Highness Li Xian would become the crown prince. Once upon a time, my only wish for His Highness Li Xian was that he would become the prince. Who knew, it would actually come true now.
If possible, he really wanted to return to officialdom and assist the prince until he was sent to the throne.
It’s just, what a pity! Now I am really afraid of officialdom, and I am afraid that I will disappoint His Highness the Crown Prince.
After regaining consciousness in his legs, Wang Bo wanted to stand up. Unexpectedly, just as he was about to stand up, two strong men behind him held his shoulders down and asked him to remain in a kneeling position.
Just when Wang Bo was confused, who knew that the big man in front of him took another box from his subordinates and took out an imperial edict and an official document from the Ministry of Personnel.
Unfolding the imperial edict, the big man read: "The Emperor's edict says: Since Prince Xian entered the East Palace, although he has won the hearts of the people, he has no subordinates and no one is talented. Now that Prince Xian has appointed Wang Bo, the former literary scholar of Prince Yong's Mansion, as the crown prince's guest, I think about it again and again. , yes, I would like to grant Wang Bo, the literary scholar of Prince Yong’s Mansion, a guest of the Crown Prince of the East Palace.”
After reading it, the big man put away the imperial edict and handed it to Wang Bo along with the official documents of the staff.
There is no need to read the official disc. No one dares to falsify the content of the imperial edict. If someone mispronounces the words on it, it is a serious accident.
Just...a guest of the prince?
This is a third-grade official position! Although this official position may not have much real power and is one of the top positions among the fictitious, but it is third grade!
With the imperial edict and official disc in hand, Wang Bo didn't know how he should react for a moment.
Seeing Wang Bo's dumbfounded look, Da Hanyu said earnestly: "Wang Bo, you should know by now what kind of friendship His Highness the Crown Prince has towards you. Whether it is your pardon or your appointment, it was His Highness the Crown Prince who asked for it from the saint. Come grace."
"Since ancient times, many people have not been found. How many times have we needed to go to war? You must know that in order to find you as soon as possible, the saint even used us, just to let you return to the East Palace as soon as possible and meet the prince. Although This is the love of a saint for a prince, but now you are just a mediocre person, to be treated like this, tsk tsk."
Every word of the big man's words hit Wang Bo's heart and tear ducts hard, and before he knew it, he was already bursting into tears.
I was just a literary scholar at the beginning. Although I had the kindness to teach the prince, how many people taught the prince? Compared with those well-educated scholars, I am really insignificant.
However, even so, His Highness the Crown Prince has not forgotten himself. Now that he has become the Crown Prince, the first thing he does is to call back this useless waste.
After many years, his memory of his time in Prince Pei's Mansion has become blurry, but the image of the young man crying after losing the cockfight is so clear.
At this moment, he only had one thought...
He has no regrets!
He no longer regrets writing the article "The King's Chicken"!
If he could go back in time, he would try his best to make this article more exciting.
So what if you were demoted? So what if we were expelled from Chang'an? As long as it's for His Highness, I'm willing to be chopped off!
Tears unknowingly fell on the imperial edict, which made Wang Bo wake up quickly and carefully put the imperial edict into the box handed over by the big man.
Wiping away his tears and standing up, he felt that his fear of officialdom was so ridiculous.
After breathing a long sigh of relief, he raised his hands to the big man and said, "I only have a hundred dollars left as a gift in my family. I'm sorry for you. Can you please help me find a way to make up for it later?"
Seeing that Wang Bo had been promoted to a high official position and was overflowing with the prince's favor, he had not forgotten the etiquette. The big man was very satisfied. The gift of hundreds of dollars was really a lot. Besides, this man would be a popular person around the prince in the future. After that, I don’t know what kind of person he will become.
People in the secret guard do not remain anonymous all their lives. Many people who have completed their tasks well have been promoted by saints, left the secret guard, and become real courtiers, exposed to the public. Therefore, they still hope to be polite when facing Wang Bo.
Returning the salute, the big man said: "You have already received the imperial edict and official documents from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. You are already a guest of the Crown Prince. You should not salute us. The gift of hundreds of dollars is not not enough, but it is too much. Wang There is no need for guests to do this, the gift money is enough for me and my brothers to have a meal and drink."
Although the big man said this, Wang Bo still shook his head and said: "Since I have said Bai Guan, it cannot be changed. Since you think it is too much, I have something to ask of you. Is it okay?"
Have something to ask for?
The big man scratched his head and said seriously: "Guest King, you should have guessed our identity, so please carefully consider what you want to say."
Wang Bo smiled bitterly and said: "It's no big deal, I just hope you can help me return to Chang'an as soon as possible. I...I don't know how to ride a horse!"
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
The big man waved his hand and said: "This is not difficult. If you can't ride a horse, you can definitely take a car. However, the car I'm waiting for in Luoyang is only a prison car. If you drive day and night, it will be extremely bumpy. Guest Wang should think twice before traveling."
"Don't think twice. Wang Bo asks you to use a prison car to take me back to Chang'an!"
Seeing the determination in Wang Bo's eyes, everyone in the secret guard couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
This scholar is a bit fierce when he attacks...
Since Luoyang was designated as the eastern capital by Li Zhi, the road between Chang'an and Luoyang has been repaired many times to make it smooth.
However, no matter how smooth the road is, if the car cannot drive, the people on the car will not be too comfortable.
The secret guard's prison van has been specially modified. Those who are qualified to enter the secret guard's prison van are all treacherous and evil people. It is no exaggeration to say that they are all guys who have incurred the wrath of the saint and will inevitably die. Therefore, although their prison car did not delay the journey after the modification, it was extremely bumpy, making riding in the car a torment.
After giving away all his family wealth as a gift, Wang Bo entered the prison car. Compared with those unlucky prisoners, he did not need to wear torture instruments. The prison car was also covered with mats and even had a big umbrella to block the sun.
Ever since Wang Bo got into the prison car, several big men from the secret guards had used their gift money to bet on how long he could hold on.
Of course, none of them thought that he could persist throughout the whole process, and they even made a rule that if Wang Bo could persist without crying out in pain, all the gifts in their hands would be returned to the original owner.
However....
What made everyone depressed was that Wang Bo had already put his head on the car floor, shaking with the bumps and vomiting, but he still didn't complain.
The city wall of Chang'an can be seen from a distance.
When the prison car finally drove into Chang'an City, the leader had to sigh, take back all the gifts in everyone's hands, and gather them together.
After transporting the prison car to an inn, the leader sent a subordinate to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to collect official uniforms for Wang Bo.
After sleeping for a whole day, Wang Bo reluctantly opened his eyes. His fair face now took on a sallow color.
After seeing where he was, he immediately sat up.
After receiving the imperial edict, he immediately embarked on his return journey. With the torture of the past few days, he had been worried that everything in his mind was just a dream, and it seemed that when he woke up, it would be in vain.
But when he saw the big man sitting on the stool in the room, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing that Wang Bo had woken up, the leader stood up, bowed and said, "Fortunately, I have sent you back to Chang'an. I have sent you back to Chang'an. Now I am waiting for you at the inn in Changxingfang. Guest Wang slept for a day and a night. I think he must be very hungry. How about I order some food and wine for you?"
Rubbing his sore temples, Wang Bo shook his head and said, "No need, I have nothing to grow on my lower body, and it will cost you money."
The leader laughed loudly and opened a box in front of him. Inside he saw gold, silver and copper coins worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Pointing to the box, the leader stood up and cupped his hands and said: "When I first met you, I thought you were a softie, but knowing that you wanted to visit your father, I took a high look at you. Along the way from Luoyang to Chang'an, I bet you can't persevere. Who knows, not only did you persevere, but you didn't even cry out in pain."
"Although guest Wang is a scholar, such a tough guy is rare among warriors like us. Therefore, I can't wait to accept your gift and decided to return it to you."
"How can this be so? This..."
Before Wang Bo finished speaking, the leader interrupted and said: "What I give you back is not our admiration for you, but our private bet. You can think that you won the bet with your perseverance. Guest Wang Don’t worry about it, we have already enjoyed a feast today, using only your money, it is enough.”
Seeing the leader say this, Wang Bo felt relieved a little.
Now that Wang Bo has woken up, the secret guard leader does not intend to stay long. He pointed to a set of official uniforms on the case and said: "This is your official uniform. After you have a good rest, you can change into the official uniform and enter the East Palace. After many years, I haven’t seen you yet, but we can’t let His Highness see you looking sick, right?”
No need to guess, he also knew that this was the official uniform that the leader brought back to him. Wang Bo couldn't get out of bed yet, so he could only bow his hands on the bed and express his gratitude.
After the leader returned the salute, he stood up and left. Not long after, a waiter walked in with a smile and waited for his mission.
After asking for a portion of rice porridge to quench his thirst, Wang Bo regained some strength.
He did not go to the East Palace after recovering as the leader said. Instead, he forced himself to change into his official uniform. After being refused by the shopkeeper, he paid the money and then wandered around like a drunken man with a hangover. Same, heading north.
Those who hold the official position of the third rank will naturally wear purple robes.
A purple-robed official swaying on Zhuque Street is still eye-catching.
When Wu Hou, who was patrolling the streets, saw this situation, he couldn't help but stepped forward to ask. The petty officials who were coming and going, seeing this situation, couldn't help but stepped forward to ask...
He met all kinds of people, but Wang Bo refused all help.
Now he just wants to rely on his own strength to walk to the East Palace. Although it seems stupid to do this, he still wants to do it. It seems that this is the only way to punish myself for the more stupid idea before.
Today, the daytime temperature in Chang'an is still very high, and coupled with the bumpy journey, Wang Bo quickly broke out in a sweat.
He reluctantly insisted on verifying his identity at the gate of the East Palace before entering the East Palace. He was already a little confused.
After asking clearly where His Highness the Crown Prince was, he reluctantly picked up his spirits and walked towards the martial arts arena.
After walking to the martial arts arena, he rested for a while, asked for a towel from the passing palace maid, straightened his appearance, and then walked into the martial arts arena.
As soon as he entered the martial arts arena, he heard cheers.
His eyes naturally shifted to the direction of the crowd, and he saw a scene he had never dreamed of...
His Royal Highness was actually wearing a set of armor and fighting with a wooden sword.
Starting from the night before yesterday, it was Xu Ze's turn to keep vigil, so he couldn't show up at the martial arts arena. Although Ma Liang had been asked to lead the night watch with manpower, and no one could say anything, Li Xian could not squeeze his men like this, so he still set a ten-day guard watch.
So, today his training target was changed to an ordinary guard.
Although there was still a long way to go between Li Xian and Xu Ze in terms of swordsmanship, compared with ordinary guards, he unconsciously found that there was not much gap.
So, Wang Bo, who happened to arrive at the martial arts arena at this time, saw this scene that made him speechless.
The Crown Prince's sword strikes were like hammers forging iron. Although there were no rules, he still forced the guard to retreat continuously. If he stayed for a long time, he would lose. From time to time, Li Xian would be able to take a stab at the unlucky guard.
After a few moments, the guard surrendered.
You know, he wasn't wearing armor. This was not because he wanted to accuse the Crown Prince of hurting him by beating him, but because His Highness the Crown Prince was wearing armor, it affected his performance. He could not take advantage of the situation, so he was defeated.
When the opponent changed from a snow mountain to hills, Li Xian, a big mountain, noticed his progress.
Maybe the opponent is a little afraid to be arrogant, but there is no doubt that his progress is definitely not small!
After winning the competition, Li Xian couldn't help but throw away the wooden knife in his hand and laughed loudly while tearing his neck.
Looking at His Royal Highness, who was wearing armor and looking up and laughing, Wang Bo had a black line on his face...
Is this special person the same one who gets thirsty whenever he sees a book he hasn't read yet? Who doesn't feel ashamed to ask questions when he encounters something he doesn't understand? Is he the one who quits when forced to practice martial arts?
how....
Now it seems that they are no different from these rough guys in the martial arts field?
Especially the scene of the battle just now, if he hadn't clearly remembered the appearance of His Royal Highness, he would definitely have doubted whether he had found the wrong person.
At this moment, the expectation in Wang Bo's heart suddenly turned into a feeling of strangeness...
