Jian Yong's answer made Huang Qiong's mind move. Merchants from Dali and Tibet? Why didn't you let the more prosperous Jingshi go, and ran to Zhengzhou, which is in ruins? At present, the livelihood of Zhengzhou is in decline, and the vitality is far from recovering. Ivory, rhinoceros horn, these are all valuable things, so who can afford to consume them?

Dali produces horses, which is good. But Dali's horse body is short, in addition to the endurance is better, whether it is weight, speed, or traction ability, it is too different from the party's horse and Khitan horse used in this dynasty. What's more, the cold climate in the north is not suitable for the survival of Dali horses born in warm regions. Running here to sell horses, isn't it that the pants that you have to pay for can't be kept?

There are also those Tubo people who came to Zhengzhou, which is also extremely suspicious. What's more, whether it is a vassal state like Dali or a semi-hostile country like Tubo, if these people want to enter the territory of Daqi, they must have a letter issued by the border government before they are allowed to enter. And the letter that was sent to them was the West Sichuan Road where the fief of the King of Shu was located.

These Tubo and Dali people can actually come to Zhengzhou, which is not an ordinary doubt. And the excuse is not ordinary lame. Because the current Zhengzhou has no ability to consume the so-called goods they brought. I'm afraid these people are not good.

remembered the assassinations that happened to King Jing's family before he entered Zhengzhou. Huang Qiong knew a little in her heart, presumably some people were about to jump off the wall in a hurry. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong directly summoned Liu Hu. Let him hurry to the Xiaocai camp, mobilize 200 archers, and 300 soldiers to gather at King Jing's mansion.

After giving Liu Hu the order, Huang Qiong turned his head and said to Jian Yong: "After the cavalry arrives in a while, you take this king and rush to the residence of those Dali and Tubo monks. Lock up all these so-called Dali and Tibetan monks, and kill them if they resist. ”

After listening to Huang Qiong's explanation, Jian Yong couldn't help but be stunned and said, "Lord Wang, this is not very good. These people all have the certificates issued by the West Sichuan Road and the Middle Qianzhong Road. Although there are some monks among them, they are all ordinary businessmen. At present, Zhengzhou's vitality has not recovered, and the more such businessmen, the better. Isn't it too much to lock up and take it without evidence now? ”

"Confused, stupid, when you analyzed the Guilin County Mansion before, wasn't the head quite shrewd? How did you get so confused about this kind of thing? My Daqi law is clearly customized, and foreigners are not allowed to enter the important land of Gyeonggi without obtaining the documents issued by the Zhongshu Province. Those in their hands can enter other roads by faith, but Henan Road is not allowed. ”

What's more, the changes in Zhengzhou have now spread all over the world. Can't they really hear along the way? Don't know the current situation in Zhengzhou? Now that you know, when other merchants are now avoiding it, they still come here to sell their goods, instead of going to the more prosperous Jingzhao in the west, do you think this is normal? ”

looked at Jian Yong, who was pale after being reprimanded by himself. Huang Qiong slowed down his tone slightly: "Dali country, I have been respectful in my dynasty all these years, and those Dali people are fine." But although Tibet has been in civil strife in recent years, it is still a thief to our dynasty. Those Tubo people came to Zhengzhou at this time, and they were still a group of monks, what do you think of Zhengzhou? ”

"Could it be that in the territory of Tibet, there is really no way to find merchants, and a group of monks are still needed to come out to do business? There are so many suspicious points, and you, a fellow who is also in charge of the arrest and theft matters, have not seen it at all? Before this king entered Zhengzhou, when you were acting as the prefect of Zhengzhou, it was not that you did not know about the multiple assassinations of King Jing's family. Do you think those thieves are really dead now? ”

Huang Qiong's voice fell, and he didn't know the real inside story of King Jing's rebellion, and Jian Yong, who had not taken these things somewhat suddenly, and the Dali and Tubo people who came to Zhengzhou seriously, also reacted somewhat wrong. Hurriedly stood up and said, "Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan will immediately lead someone to arrest him." ”

"No matter what the purpose of these people coming to Zhengzhou is, they must be bad people. The matter of arrest will wait for the arrival of the cavalry battalion before acting. Your catchers may not be these opponents. When the time comes, don't get it by people, but start by surprise, and I'm afraid it will be troublesome to catch these people. These people can get here all the way without incident, and it is impossible for no one to answer. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Qiong looked at Jian Yong, who was a little pale, and said in a softened tone: "At present, the new general judge of Zhengzhou has not yet arrived, and the original chief catcher has also been killed by this king." The following catch fast, but they may not really convince you. You, the same acquaintance who is currently also arresting and stealing matters, are now busy cooperating with Su Jin and Benwang to deal with the aftermath of Zhengzhou. ”

"Especially Su Jinshu is too angry, and many things still need you to coordinate in the middle. This king also knows that you are under a lot of pressure right now. Look at your eyes, I didn't close my eyes all night yesterday. But there is no way, if this king comes forward everywhere, let's not talk about the question of justification. How can you let the emperor see your abilities? and how this king may promote you? ”

"Besides, although you have not been transferred to Zhengzhou for a long time. But among the three of us, you are the only one who can be regarded as the old Zhengzhou. At least we know more about the people and environment here than we do. This king also knows that you are the hardest compared to Su Jin. But there is no way to do it, just get through this period. ”

"But there are many things, and this king has no way to be honest with you. The inside story of King Jing's rebellion is far from being as simple as it seems. King Jing's dependents must live a lot to enter Beijing. Because there are some things that can only be found out if they are alive. This is the emperor's request, and it is also the king's request. There have been several assassinations before, suggesting that someone didn't want them alive. ”

"Therefore, before King Jing's family returns to Beijing, this king can't make any mistakes. In this way, after this matter is disposed of. This king wants to pick out a group of scout-born people from the Xiao Cavalry Camp for you, and add them to Zhengzhou Mansion as a catch. You're sifting through the original old fritters, but you really can't transform them, just send them away. ”

"In addition, the veterans that this king has allocated to you, you have to take a lot of trouble to train your own team. As for this matter, forget it, this king will not pursue it. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, don't hide or hide them, just come directly to this king. You, who are knowledgeable, must also learn to use people. ”

"As for that errand, this king has the king's consideration. It is not so easy to let a noble family who has eaten alone for hundreds of years spit out this piece of fat in his mouth, or spit it out willingly. In this matter, when the imperial court and the Guilin County Royal Mansion have not been able to openly tear their faces, the support they can give is limited. ”

"Fighting with the palace of Guilin County, this king thinks that he doesn't have that ability yet. Lord Jane, this king cannot say that you are wrong. But some things are not so simple, you have to be a capable ruler, but you have to have that life to do it. Sometimes, it's not a problem to want to express yourself, the problem is that you have to grasp the degree of it. ”

Huang Qiong didn't look at Jian Yong's somewhat ugly face after hearing her words. Just looked at the horses of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion that were assembling outside the door, and smiled faintly. It wasn't until those people were assembled that he turned his head to Jian Yong and said, "You are talented and thoughtful. Your future path will be farther than Su Jin's. ”

"But your heart is not ruthless enough, and your courage is still a little worse. In some things, you are still too forward-looking, and you are suffering from gains and losses. If these points can be made up, this king thinks that your future future will be limitless. However, there is a premise, you have to put your head on top of it first, and find a cloud that can shelter from the rain. ”

Speaking of which, Huang Qiong was not looking at Jian Yong's thoughtful expression. After going out and turning over the horse, he did not urge Jian Yong, who was in a daze in his study. There are some things that he has already said about this, and how to comprehend it really depends on himself. Huang Qiong believed that Jian Yong must have heard the meaning of her words.

Therefore, Huang Qiong was not too anxious. Instead, he deliberately left Jian Yong in the room some time to think. Until the Qinghai horse under him couldn't bear it anymore and neighed a few times. Jian Yong, who was awakened by the sound of horses, found that outside the courtyard, the Xiaocai battalion had been assembled and was waiting for him.

Jian Yong, who hurried out, did not take the sedan chair used by civil officials, but found a horse and turned over on the horse. Seeing that this guy can actually ride a horse, and the action of turning over and getting on the horse is done in one go, it looks like a person who often rides horses. This point was very unexpected by Huang Qiong. In fact, I don't blame Huang Qiong, I would make a fuss when I saw Jian Yong riding a horse.

In this dynasty, these officials who were born in the two rankings of Jinshi, in order to promote their identity as scholars, all went out in a sedan chair. Even if you are in a hurry, at most you will change to a carriage, and there will be no horseback riding at all. Of course, these people don't usually learn to ride horses. Because horseback riding seemed to them to be the only thing that a vulgar person like a military attache would do.

Those civil officials, however, preferred to ride in a slow sedan chair rather than ride a horse. Huang Qiong has been out of the palace for nearly a year, and he has not seen that civil official in Jingzhao Mansion, even if there is one in a sedan chair. Even officials who came to the capital to report on their work would rather spend money to rent a sedan chair than ride a horse. Not to mention civil officials, even military attaches are like this.

Except for some military attachés who show that they cannot forget their roots, and generally ride horses in the court or when traveling, most of the military attaches now do not have a few riding horses. It was Jin Jiedu, who was also a famous general, who was also a famous general, and when he rushed to Zhengzhou from Bianzhou, he also took a green sedan chair. And the deputy envoys of Jiedu who came with him, and even the envoys of Bianzhou soldiers and horses, were all sedan chairs.

is the stereotypical Su prefect, when he was the chief of the British Prince's Mansion, he has always taken a sedan chair. Even if the sedan chair was in the former Tang Dynasty, because it was criticized by scholars as a human animal, unless the emperor gave it a special reward, no one took it even if it was a first-class person. In this dynasty, riding in a sedan chair can be said to be the fashion of officialdom.

In fact, in Chinese history, the sedan chair was generally used as a tool for women to travel. Men, even if they are first- and second-class members, are basically riding horses except for the emperor's special gifts. Those who are older and inconvenient to ride a horse generally take a carriage. The sedan chair was criticized by scholars as a means of transportation for human animals.

It really began to spread on a large scale in officialdom during the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Even in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, which has been criticized in history and is called the darkest, the sedan chair is still not the main means of transportation for officials. Except for high-ranking and older officials, officials generally travel on horseback or in horse-drawn carriages.

And the trend of officials of the Great Qi Dynasty taking sedan chairs is unfortunately caused by the ancestor of Huang Qiong's life, that is, the so-called Emperor Taizu of this dynasty. That Emperor Taizu, when he was in Chang'an three times a day, was ready to let the city go. The means of transportation prepared for himself was neither a horse nor a carriage, but a large sedan chair carried by thirty-six people.
