Turning misfortunes into good fortune starts with seizing the direct descendants in Kowloon

Chapter 16: In the prosperous age of the Imperial Capital, look at the appearances of all living beings

Today is an extremely important day for Great Yan Emperor Capital.

From day to night, the people of the Imperial City could see huge wooden carts carrying goods. Under the protection of the imperial capital's brocade clothes, they entered the Shenwu Gate of the Imperial City one after another.

These are rare treasures offered by various countries and are of great significance.

At night, the Imperial Capital becomes even more lively.

The imperial capital's Ming Deng Division and Su Wei imperial guards all came to guard the streets to maintain order. There were also soldiers monitoring the towers at high places to prevent accidents.

There was a huge flow of people. Under the rubble with black eaves, sedans and BMWs passed through the hundreds of vertical and horizontal treasure houses. The gentry and officials gathered together. There was an endless flow of white horse carved carriages. The lanterns were like a sea. There were flower boats on the river that passed through the capital. The young dancer flexibly swings her waist to show off her dancing skills.

Courtesans from the brothels in the east, south, west and north cities sit in the pavilions, holding pipa and showing off their piano skills. Confucian scholars in major academies also have a holiday at the end of the year. They love to sit in the elegant pavilions and comment. Click on the girl you love, enjoy calligraphy, painting, music and chess, and discuss important events in life together;

Drunken drunkards gathered around the inn and tavern, listening to the storyteller telling all kinds of bizarre things in the world of Middle-earth. For example: a scholar from a poor family went to the imperial examination, and returned after becoming famous. He met his wife in a noble body, only to find that his wife was a green snake. Demons; Buddhists are born in heaven, how the beautiful nun who eats fast, chants Buddha, sings bells and drums in the morning and evening falls in love with the high-spirited young man from Taoism, and so on.

These are just the tip of the iceberg of Great Yandi Palace.

Only when many envoys from small countries came did they realize that the Yong'an Prosperity was truly worthy of the name.

At dusk, when the snow fell, the royal family, nobles, and dignitaries were flocking to the Changle Palace in the palace. This was the place where Emperor Dayan hosted envoys from various countries and representatives of the three religions.

Snowflakes were flying outside the palace gate, and thousands of palace lanterns were floating, decorating Changle Palace as if it were daytime. There were many warriors wearing mysterious bamboo hats following their masters. Confucian gentlemen were chatting happily, twirling their beards, and walked into Changle in a grand manner. In the palace, a Taoist in green clothes holding a fly whisk, followed by several Taoist boys with long yellow hair, and a young mage with one hand clasped together and holding a Zen staff, all sat quietly, and circles of imperial guards patrolled around each exit of the palace.

The eighth prince Lu Yunqing also stepped out of the carriage and tightened the white fox shawl tightly around his body. His gentle and jade-like scholarly temperament could not cover up his blue python-patterned robe.

"Eighth brother!"

Far away, Lu Yunqing heard someone calling him. When he looked up, he saw a tall and burly man in a dark green python robe with a height of nine feet. The muscles in his arms were twisted, making the clothes tight and making him look very oppressive.

"It turns out to be the third brother."

Lu Yunqing recognized the person immediately, smiled slightly, and said hello.

The visitor is the third prince, Lu Guangyao.

He has been very talented in martial arts since he was a child. He has been practicing martial arts wholeheartedly. He has gained external strength at the age of five and practiced internally at the age of eight. He was already reborn at the age of fifteen. At the age of weak, he successfully became a master. Now he has reached the level of a grand master. He is a martial arts master. Learn from genius.

A few princes who were entrusted with important responsibilities by their father were in charge of the elite Tiger Battalion among the Great Yan pro-army.

"Hahaha, long time no see!"

Lu Guangyao let out a hearty and loud laugh, stepped forward and gave Lu Yunqing a bear hug.

"Third brother, I can't breathe!"

Lu Yunqing was hugged by this big man, his chest was almost suffocated, and he said helplessly on his face.

Lu Guangyao immediately let go of him, scratched his head with his big hand, and said with a naive smile: "I'm so excited. Third brother has been in the army and has never returned to the palace. I haven't seen you for several years."

The sound was like thunder, making Lu Yunqing's ears buzz.

He had no choice but to call out the Confucian and Taoist righteousness in his body and protect his ears.

Lu Yunqing said with little interest, "If Brother Six is ​​not around, this conference will be meaningless."

"That playboy of his, what do you care what he does!"

Lu Guangyao shook his head, obviously looking down on this guy Lu Mingyuan.

"Let's go in together. I heard that the fourth, fifth and seventh children are all here."

Lu Guangyao's tall man put his shoulder on Lu Yunqing's shoulder and walked towards Changle Palace.

There is already a palace maid who has been waiting for a long time to lead them to their place.

On the left and right sides of the huge palace were envoys, cabinet ministers, and civil and military officials. The dragon's chair was in the center. The seats were clearly arranged, and they were positioned behind them.

This seating arrangement is very meaningful. Countries that need to be won over sit in a distinguished position in the front, while those with good relations are placed in the back.

Lu Guangyao saw many great Confucian scholars, monks, and Taoist priests sitting across from him, and said, "I didn't expect that representatives of the three religions are here too."

Lu Yunqing shook his head and corrected: "They are not the representatives of the three religions, but the representatives of the Diamond Academy, the Leichi Taoist Academy, and the Denwen Drum Academy. These three academies are the institutions that manage the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism in Dayan. They are the same as the six departments. Level, the state banquet is here just to give Dayan face, and at the same time, it is also to let these small countries see the strength of our country's practitioners."

Soon, a man in a python robe wearing Taoist robes and a thin man with hanging hair sat next to the two of them. As soon as he sat down, he closed his eyes and meditated, and turned around the Taoist formula.

Lu Guangyao chuckled lightly and said with a very sarcastic tone: "Fourth, you haven't changed your temper yet. All day long, you know that refining elixirs in the house and being obsessed with Taoism are not what you are like in practice."

The man in the Taoist robe closed his eyes, but did not get angry. He said lightly: "What does it have to do with you, Third Brother, are you being too lenient?"

Lu Yunqing glanced at the man in Taoist robes, and gave up the idea of ​​saying hello because of the ethereal aura that could repel people from thousands of miles away.

In my impression, this is what my fourth brother looks like.

The fourth prince, Lu Guangren.

Obsessed with Taoism, practicing Qi Shi skills, he likes to be pure, as if he has no desires and desires, and he shuts himself in his house all day long to refine elixirs.

Although the second, third, and fourth children are all born with the word "light" and their names are similar, their personalities are completely different.

Not from the same place at all.

Soon, several other princes arrived and slowly took their seats.

Among them, the most eye-catching ones were undoubtedly the eldest prince and the second prince, which attracted the attention of everyone present.

Almost everyone knew that Dayan's huge inheritance would most likely fall into the hands of one of the two.

The eldest prince, Lu Changfeng, was dressed in a purple python robe and had a handsome face. He communicated with the old man in Confucian robes beside him from time to time, his expression was respectful, and he didn't know what he was asking for.

The second prince, Lu Guangjing, was holding a wine bottle with slender fingers, and the movement of shaking the wine glass was very elegant and noble. Coupled with his handsome appearance and fair-skinned jade appearance, he had attracted countless ladies from aristocratic families and princesses from small countries to scream and cover their faces in shyness. Lu Yunqing couldn't help but sigh again when he saw the neat lineup, but only one person was missing.

"Lao Liu didn't come this time?"

Judging from the source of the voice, it turned out to be the fifth prince Lu Mingkong, who was sitting next to the second prince.

He had a playful look on his face, and a sarcastic look appeared on his dark face:
  "Oh, I almost forgot, this guy is still in the cold palace, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out."

"Oh, it's a pity that today, this is the day we haven't seen each other for a long time, but someone couldn't help but be seduced by beauty and did such a stupid thing."

The tone was full of regret.

When Lu Yunqing heard these words, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. Even though he was such a gentle person, he couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard such gloating and hypocritical words.

"Forget it, let's not mention him anymore. Such a waste can only live in the cold palace for the rest of his life."

Lu Yunqing couldn't bear it anymore and stood up immediately. He, who was always soft-tempered, asked Lu Mingkong: "What do you mean?!"

"The sage said: 'A gentleman is careful but does not compare with others, and a villain does not compare with others carefully.' What are you provoking with these words?"

Lu Mingkong chuckled and said: "It's so awesome. You want to use a saint to suppress me again. Isn't what I said the truth? Does the saint want to protect such a bastard? He dares to rob people's girls and visit the brothels every day. He also needs to protect him. It turns out that the saint is like this Awesome, this prince has finally asked for advice."

Lu Yunqing heard this and wanted to defend himself, but found that what the other party said was indeed correct. Sixth Brother's reputation was known as "famous" in the capital. He wanted to say a few words of help, but it was difficult to do so.

When he was silent, many small countries and immortal forces around him were talking about it.

"Yes, the other eight princes have arrived for this banquet. Why didn't the sixth prince come?"

"You don't know? He let go of the enchantress from the Demon Kingdom, and was thrown into the cold palace by the Great Yan Emperor. He was banned from going out for thirty years."

"What? The demon girl has escaped back! This is not good. Dayan finally gained an advantage in the northern land, and now she has been sent back."

The eldest prince Lu Changfeng was quite unhappy when everyone mentioned the case of the demon girl.

He could have used this matter to take the initiative in seizing the heir. If Lao Liu hadn't let the demon girl go, his advantage would have been even greater.

"Okay, eighth brother, don't make a fool of yourself and sit down."

Lu Yunqing was stunned when he heard the coldness in his elder brother's words.

He quickly realized that he was being used as a weapon by Lu Mingkong.

He could only do it obediently and stare at him coldly.

This guy has such a gloomy mind.

He actually used himself to anger his elder brother.

However, at this moment, the second prince Lu Guangjing's mouth curled up slightly.

After Lu Mingkong sat down, he also showed a successful smile and said to Lu Guangjing:
  "Second brother, what a good plan. In this way, first use the eldest prince to poke at the eighth prince's prestige. You must not let this boy steal your limelight in this poetry meeting. You really kill two birds with one stone."

Lu Guangjing replied calmly: "The eighth brother and the sixth brother have had the best relationship since childhood. I heard that he went to the Cold Palace not long ago. I just wanted to test it out. I didn't expect that the relationship is still so good. I have to be careful."

"Okay, eighth brother, don't be angry. Your home court will be next. Who doesn't know your poems? Then there will be plenty of opportunities to make Lao Wu angry."

The third prince Lu Guangyao comforted Lu Yunqing.

"I have long heard that your poems, Laoba, have been sung throughout the imperial capital and brothels. Why don't you sell me one of your poems to attend the poetry gathering?"

A man diagonally across from me with thick eyebrows, round features, a chubby figure, and a bright yellow python robe asked with a smile.

"I will pay you one thousand taels of gold."

Lu Yunqing shook his head firmly: "I won't sell it."

"Five thousand taels will do."

"If you don't sell it, how can you trade something like poetry? It's not a stain on it. Brother Qi, if you really want it, go find someone else."

Lu Yunqing recognized the other party, the seventh prince, Lu Yunwan.

He was good at businessmanship. He established chambers of commerce in the Imperial Capital and even in various places in Dayan, and opened many brothels and casinos. His wealth was astonishing, with millions of dollars in silver coming into his account every year.

Hearing that Lao Ba was unwilling to sell, Lu Yunwan showed a disappointed look on his face, but he quickly adjusted it and put on a smile and said:
  "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just watch the fun."

Soon the scene became quiet.

Because the master of this dynasty has already appeared.

Emperor Yong'an was wearing a red gold flowing pattern, nine dragon emperor robes, a dragon walking like a tiger, a crown of pearls crowned by Emperor Yuzao on his head, followed by eunuchs, and slowly sat down on the dragon chair in the middle. He looked at everyone present without any anger or authority. People dare to look directly into his eyes.

"The poetry meeting officially begins!"

With a shout from the imperial eunuch, the banquet officially began.

Right now.

Among the people in the Taoist camp, a Taoist woman with slender eyebrows, high bun on her temples, and picturesque green clothes glanced in the direction of Emperor Yong'an with a cold gaze.

Finally it fell on the fifth prince Lu Mingkong.

His eyes were cold.
