Chapter 1258 Rakshasa King
Chapter 1258 Rakshasa King
The emperor's concubine in the imperial palace in Heiankyo usually has a noble minister's daughter as a female official to serve them. Fujiwara Koko Murasaki Shikibu is one of them, and Qing Shao Nayan they met before is also one of them, but Qing Shao Na Yan over there seems to have resigned.
Therefore, although their status does not seem high, they can directly meet the country's top leaders. This kind of convenience is not something that ordinary people can have.
As the emperor of the Great Tang, Shen Fei is actually quite familiar with these things. Although he carried out a lot of reforms in the Great Tang, for example, the eunuchs were completely abolished, but the court ladies must still be there. There is no way to change things.
"It's very late, let's rest first, let's talk about the rest tomorrow."
After confirming what to do tomorrow, the group immediately began to rest. Shen Fei and Sakata Kintoki came to the next room. The bedding and the like had already been prepared by the servants.
Perhaps because of the trust in Sakata Kintoki and Murasaki Shikibu, even Shen Fei and Musashi didn't find out, in fact, their conversation has been eavesdropped.
"As expected of Heian Jing, it's really lively."
The next morning, when Shen Fei, Matthew, Lixiang and others gathered to have breakfast, Musashi who had gone out early came back with a face of excitement. She was the first to get up among the people present. After all, this is Heianjing. , to her, it is a legendary existence, so naturally she has to take a good look.
Heian-kyo during the day and Heian-kyo at night are completely different. The streets in the city are very lively, with people coming and going. Compared with the desertedness at night, they are two extremes. To a certain extent, Heian-kyo during the day is the real human world. , and night is the world of ghosts, which can be regarded as the two sides of yin and yang.
"After all, it's Little Chang'an, so of course it's lively."
Shen Fei was not surprised by Musashi's emotion. Before setting off, he deliberately searched for the general situation of Ping'an capital. In addition, he was also the emperor of the Tang Empire, so he knew more about Ping'an capital.
Ping'an Jing was built in imitation of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty. Even the names of some of the streets are exactly the same. Due to the resources that need to be consumed, financial and other issues, very few can be built in the end. Among them, the most famous ones are undoubtedly Ping An Jing, and Shangjing Longquan City in Bohai State.
Bohai State Shangjing Longquan City is the place where Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling made a big fuss in the original "Shuanglong of the Tang Dynasty", and now it is regarded as a subsidiary state of the Tang Dynasty.
Now there is a very strong difference between the Tang Dynasty there and Li Shimin's Datang. Naturally, there will be no Weishui alliance. Similarly, the establishment of the Bohai State, with the permission of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, will naturally go very smoothly. , now the Turks are not in the mood, and they don't have the strength to care about things over there.
Although Shen Fei's main policy after he became the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was to recuperate and recuperate. After all, it had been so many years since the war, but he had always been active on the Turkic side, and Shen Luoyan's side had been pressing every step of the way. The army is training, that is to say, because of the previous war, Datang is seriously underpopulated, otherwise the Turks would have been swallowed by him.
"By the way, I just heard on the street that there will be steel monsters here at night." Musashi said the rumors she heard while shopping.
"Steel monster, it's impossible, it should be some kind of metamorphosis, and it took the carapace as steel." Jin Shi immediately objected, and at the same time explained the reason.
In this era, steel is a controlled product. Even soldiers can't get a set of armor, let alone use steel to make a huge monster. Although there is a magical power like Yin Yang, it can't improve productivity after all. , it's not that it can't be done, but that people who control power won't do it.
Just like Naruto World, why did technology develop so rapidly during the period from the Fourth Ninja World War to Borenchuan?
Musashi did not refute Sakata Kintoki's words. After all, what he said was very reasonable. For ordinary people, it is not impossible for ordinary people to treat the body of a ghost like a soil spider as steel.
"Good morning, everyone. Do you need more rice? I'll get someone to prepare it right away." While the group was eating and chatting, Zishibu came. After seeing that there was no more rice in the rice bucket on one side, he immediately asked people added.
"Thank you so much, Your Excellency Xiangzi." Sakata Kintoki immediately expressed his thanks loudly. Among the people present, he was the one who ate the most.
"Well, I'm sorry, I'm not used to men's loud voices." Jin Shi's voice made Zi Shibu frowned unconsciously, and at the same time couldn't help but take two steps back.
"I want more food, I'll have someone prepare it right away." Zi Shibu said and called the attendants outside.
"Actually, this is not the only thing I want to ask Your Excellency Xiangzi to do." Jin Shi continued.
"You are guests, so you can stay as long as you want. If you have any request, just ask. As long as it can be realized, Xiangzi will definitely do her best."
"Although I know that this may be difficult for others, it is also for the sake of righteousness. Your Excellency Xiangzi, please forgive me."
"Voice, voice."
Seeing Zi Shibu couldn't help but take two steps back, Musashi immediately reminded that Sakata Kintoki was probably a little excited just now, and his voice was louder than before.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Xiangzi, I didn't mean it, but I actually wanted it." Sakata Kintoki immediately said his request and asked Zi Shibu to help them enter the palace to meet Ashiya Michimitsu.
"If you want to enter the palace, uh, uh, Mr. Sakata Kintoki, as a retainer of Genji, you should know that it is the emperor's palace. Only those with official positions are eligible to enter the palace. Even if I am a female official serving His Highness Akiko Nakamiya You must not easily bring people into the palace, everyone should know this well." Sakata Kintoki's request made Zi Shibu frowned.
"Emperor, isn't it that Mr. Fujiwara who is in power at this time?" Shen Fei felt a little slandering at this time. Although Heianjing is nominally the emperor's largest, in fact the power is completely controlled by Mr. Fujiwara, the left minister. , Basically all things are handled by him, and I have not seen what the emperor has handled. To some extent, his reputation has overshadowed the emperor, which is another kind of coercion of the emperor to make the princes.
Of course, he will definitely not say this kind of thinking. Mash, Lixiang, and even Musashi will not care about this issue, but if the Minamoto clan knows that he thinks so, they will definitely find him as soon as possible. Even if they are aware of the current situation in Heianjing, there are some things that can be done, but they must never be said.
"Please, I'll kneel down for you." Facing Zi Shikibu's embarrassed expression, Sakata Kintoki threw himself on the ground directly.
"Oh, Lord Jinshi, please raise your head, and don't put your forehead on the floor." Seeing Jinshi kneeling on the floor in the way of Dogeza, it was even more difficult for Zi Shibu.
"Please, we won't cause you any trouble. Although we are already causing you trouble, this matter is very important and concerns the safety of the entire capital. I will not ask you not to say my name, as long as you don't let Genji As long as the main family knows, we wish to enter the palace and visit His Excellency Ashiya Doman, please be sure, Your Excellency Xiangzi."
"Wuuu, Master Jin Shi, I understand. I will report your name to the Daoist Master. Maybe it will work. It's just that I owe a lot of favors to the Daoist Master. I really don't want to continue to owe him favors." .”
Here Jin Shi and the others wanted to enter the palace, but it was impossible for Zi Shibu to take them in privately, after all, it was the most heavily guarded palace.
"We have no intention of forcing you, Your Excellency Xiangzi. If it is really difficult, we will find another way, but I am afraid that we will continue to hide here for a while, and I am afraid that we will continue to trouble you for a while." Jin Shi stood up as he spoke. She wanted to enter the palace through Zi Shibu, but if she was really in a difficult situation, Jin Shi would not force her anymore.
In fact, if Jin Toki is willing to go to Minamoto Raimitsu, it will be easier to enter the palace in the name of Genji, but because of the Tianlan Holy Grail War, it is impossible for Jin Toki to go to Minamoto Raimitsu now.
"That's it, I see, I'm very clear, it doesn't make any difference how much favor I owe to the Daoist Master, I will find a way to settle it." Zi Shibu didn't know what he thought, and suddenly agreed Jin Shi's request.
"Your Excellency Xiangzi, is it true?" Jin Toki looked at Zi Shibu in surprise.
"Since the matter is so important, I will inevitably hesitate, but I will not hesitate now."
"Then please take care of everything." Jin Shi hastily expressed his thanks.
"I will do my best, but I don't know if the Daoist will agree. Everyone, if there is really nothing I can do, I hope you will forgive me."
"I think it can be done. You are His Excellency Zi Shibu, and His Excellency Zuo Minister thinks highly of you. I even heard that no one in the palace has read that monogatari." Jin Shi said.
"It turns out that this is the case, Miss Xiangzi is currently writing the Tale of Genji." Li Xiang suddenly said with emotion.
"Yes, ah, this unique breath, I know, I can see it, have you read it, it's okay, although I really want to hear your thoughts, I want to hear your thoughts from the bottom of my heart, but in case you say something The evaluation exceeded my expectations, and I will."
Lixiang's words made Zi Shibu's expression look shaken, and his words were a bit out of line. Many people present knew the Tale of Genji, but only Lixiang had really read it.
The status of The Tale of Genji on the Neon side is comparable to the Dream of the Red Chamber in the four great classics. Before Lixiang heard that Zi Shibu was writing the Tale of Genji, the reason why he was so emotional is very simple.
"The most important thing now is to obtain permission to enter the palace. I will try my best to do this, and leave it to Xiangzi." Zi Shibu said without waiting for everyone to speak, and left quickly.
"I'm not even curious why Lixiang has read the Tale of Genji. Just now Jin Shi said that no one has read that monogatari now." Looking at the back of Zi Shibu's leaving, Shen Fei thought unnecessarily.
"Okay, leave the matter to Your Excellency Xiangzi. It happens to be fine today, so I'll take you to see the capital."
Zi Shibu wants to obtain the qualifications to enter the palace. This is definitely not something that can be done in a short while. In the rare free time, Jin Shi is going to take Mash, Lixiang and other people from Tomorrow's Tomorrow's World to visit Heianjing.
"Great, I have a lot of places I want to go." Musashi immediately nodded in agreement, and then Mash and Lixiang also agreed, after all, they can't do other things now.
"It's good to have a look." After thinking for a while, Shen Fei decided to follow along.
"Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin is here."
Jin Shi is very popular in Heian capital. When the group first came to the downtown area on the street, many teenagers and girls ran over immediately. At the same time, some civilians brought food to Jin Shi. In the case of money, he has never been hungry, relying on his popularity.
As one of Raikou's four heavenly kings, Sakata Kintoki is the most respected one. Although others are respected in the capital, no one will approach them. For example, Watanabe Tsunakan has a cold expression on his face , enough to make many people shy away, but Jin Shi's side will not.
"Jin Shi, there is a steel monster. My sister saw it. It seems to be at the Inari Shrine." A little girl told Jin Shi what happened in the capital.
"I see. I'll investigate later." Although he didn't believe in the existence of the steel monster and thought it was a ghost, Jin Shi didn't refute it when facing the little girl.
"This is where Tsuna Watanabe cut off Ibaraki Doji's arm."
Under the leadership of Jin Shi, Musashi and Lixiang completed a tour of the holy land in Heianjing. Some famous places, under the leadership of Jin Shi, have passed, including the bridge where Tsuna Watanabe cut Ibaraki Doji Side, this is very famous in later generations, but it happened not long ago here.
"Although it is very prosperous, there is still no way to compare it with Chang'an and Luoyang, and it seems that it has not been completely completed." Shen Fei, who followed all the way, was doing comparisons, and then found that the construction of the city here has not been completed. Is it because of the chaos caused by ghosts? After all, Heian-kyo in this era is really an era where ghosts are rampant.
Shuten-douji, Ibaraki-douji, Kinkuma-douji, Hoshikuma-douji are all there, and there is even the legendary white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Everyone, I have obtained permission from Your Excellency the Taoist Priest. Although it is only for a short period of time tomorrow morning, everyone can enter the palace."
At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, when the group had dinner and chatted in the room, Zi Shibu came back from the palace. I have to say that as a female official of the palace, she still worked very hard, and a certain Qing Shaonayan resigned. This position, from this point of view, is a wise choice.
Regarding Qing Shaonayan, when the group was shopping during the day, Jin Shi also talked about her situation, and now she goes to and from the places of high-class nobles every day, reciting poems and making love.
"Thank you very much." Jin Shi immediately expressed his gratitude to Zi Shibu, and then the group immediately began to rest, after all, they were going to the palace early tomorrow morning.
"It's so early, it's really not easy for every dynasty to see the emperor."
Looking at Jin Shi who got up at three or four o'clock the next morning, as well as Mash, Lixiang, Musashi and others, Shen Fei couldn't help but sighed, and then continued to lie in bed. This trip to the palace, He didn't participate, after all, he just confirmed the situation of Ashiya Michimitsu.
If they really wanted to start a fight, with Musashi and Matsuu present, and the defense of the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, Ashiya Michimitsu would not be so stupid to fight there.
Of course, the more important reason for Shen Fei's refusal to participate is that there are too many rules here.
