Chapter 115: Gyeongju
When the chief official of a government takes office, he usually brings countless servants and women with his family, and there are as few as a dozen carriages, and there is an endless stream of luxurious people.
This time, Yan Hongyi took office, but he didn't bring half of his family, and the group was all one person and two horses, that is, Fan Junping and several scribes, who had been teaching in the Shenbing base for several years, and they had also practiced a body of riding skills, and they were able to gallop without hindrance.
The central capital is thousands of miles away from Gyeongju, and if you take a carriage to drive slowly, it will take ten days, to say the least. Wanyan Kangte gave the order, the man did not take off his armor, the horse did not leave the saddle, and went at full speed.
At dusk on the third day, Wanyan Hongyi and others rushed to the city of Gyeongju with a face full of dust.
After finishing Yan Kangma, he went to the city one step ahead of time to wait, he looked at the embarrassed appearance of everyone, but he was very pleased.
Wanyan Hongyi and Wu Shiman are battle-hardened people, and it is not too difficult for them to travel for three days immediately. A group of students and a few scribes, but it was the first time to travel a long distance, even if the hips could not be stopped, and even those who fell off the horse halfway, none of them admitted to ask for slowdown, they all turned over and got on the horse and gritted their teeth again to keep up.
A group of more than a dozen city guards at the south gate of Gyeongju originally leaned lazily at the entrance of the city gate, checking down from time to time to go to the vehicle and fighting the autumn wind.
Originally, Wan Yan Kang rode the little white dragon to the city gate dozens of steps away, these city defenders were not aware of it, and waited until one or two hundred people and horses in the distance came with a whip, and the little colonel guarding the city woke up, pulled out a long knife and pointed at Wan Yan Kang and said: "Who is coming, quickly dismount and stop!" ”
The voice trembled, obviously cowardly, unprepared to defend the city, and there was no countermeasure in distress. Is this the elite brought out by the number one general under the father, Tuoba Tietou? Wan Yankang thought in his heart, his face was so heavy that he was about to drip water.
Wu Shi stepped forward immediately, slapped two whips at this little school, and shouted: "King Zhao Shizi in front of you, you dare to draw your sword!" ”
The little colonel was whipped twice, and when he heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately dropped the long knife in his hand, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The villain knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince, and the villain knocks on His Royal Highness!" ”
The remaining dozen or so soldiers were even more busy dropping their swords and couldn't stand on the ground.
Seeing the bloodless appearance of these soldiers, Wan Yankang sighed in his heart and said lightly: "Let's get up, come two people, and lead me to stay in the mansion." ”
Tuoba Tietou was appointed by the Ministry of Officials, but according to the usual practice, he had to wait for the new appointment to arrive and return to Zhongdu to take up his new post after the handover.
Two days ago, the old left-behind lord was summoned, and knew that it was Wanyan Hongyi, who was from King Zhao's family, who came to take office, so he almost stopped dealing with official affairs and summoned the powerful people in the city to drink and feast every day.
After Yan Kang arrived at the left-behind mansion, he found that except for three or five officials, all the officials in the Manchu Mansion were not there. After some questioning, he learned that these parents had been drinking in Zuixiang Building since noon, and according to the custom, they had to return in the middle of the night.
Hearing this, Wan Yankang's originally solemn face actually laughed: "Since all the adults are drinking and feasting, we might as well go and join in the fun." ”
The large army was temporarily placed in the government office, Wan Yan Kang and Wan Yan Hongyi, and then brought two small pairs of students, asked the direction of Zuixiang Building, and rushed to the horse.
"Great, my lord, how long do you think it will take for this new left-behind to arrive?" A guy with oily hair and a powdery face approached Tuoba Tietou and asked, thinking that he had drunk too much wine and his speech was no longer clear.
Tuoba Tietou pulled the placket of his clothes, patted the man's shoulder, and laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter when the fuck arrives, I can't delay my grandfather and me to drink and have fun." After speaking, he picked up the wine bowl in front of him, sent it to the mouth of the beauty who accompanied the wine beside him, and said with a smile: "Beauty, feed the wine." ”
The wine girl next to her smiled and took a sip of herself, and then sent her mouth to Tuoba Tietou's mouth, and fed him wine.
Tuoba Tietou was fed, hugged the wine girl, and kneaded it recklessly.
When the officials and gentry saw that Tuoba was like this, they all dared to play. During the banquet, one of the people who accompanied the last seat, dressed in a black robe, with a square face and big ears, and his eyebrows were inverted, and there was no drunkenness on his face, so he shook his head and sighed lightly.
The sound of horses' hooves came to my ears, and at first it was just like raindrops falling to the ground, and after a few breaths, it was like a burst of thunder. The man in black thought that it was those prodigal children in the city who gathered to drive their horses past, but after a little thought, he was shocked in his heart.
The sound of the horse's hooves was too fast and too neat, and it was not the work of the prodigal children in the city, and when it came closer, the horse's pace slowed down, and there was definitely a problem!
The man in black pushed away the escort girl beside him, got up and rushed to the window, pushed open the small half of the window and looked out.
I saw that twenty or thirty elite horsemen just stopped in front of the door of the drunken fragrance building, and the first person jumped down from a handsome white horse, raised his eyes, and met the gaze of the man in black.
The man in black's original eyes were first attracted by the white horse, he was born in the Northland, and he had seen countless horses, and this white horse was definitely the only one in his life.
When the knight's eyes met with the horseman, the man in black couldn't help but be shocked.
Eyes like knives!
After Yan Kang jumped off the horse and noticed that someone was peeping, he glared at him and went back, without stopping, and said: "Uncle Hong Yi, wait downstairs for a while, and my nephew will take your subordinates downstairs to greet you." With that, he took Wu Shiman, Ma Si and a team of students to stride into the Zuixiang Building.
Seeing this formation, several nursing homes in front of the Zuixiang Building hurriedly stepped forward to stop and said, "Our restaurant was chartered by nobles today, and we will not accept it!" ”
After Yan Kang took a stride, he went inside, Wu Shiman and Ma Si smiled, and the passers-by gently opened a few courtyards like chickens, and everyone rushed in.
The black-clothed man upstairs was stunned by Wan Yankang's gaze, and it wasn't until his escort girl came over that he came to his senses, and he shouted to Tuoba Tietou: "My lord, a noble person has come to the door!" ”
Tuoba Tietou and the woman beside him were in high spirits, and they almost drew their guns in public to fight. Suddenly hearing this person's shout, Tuoba Tietou was startled, pushed away the woman beside him, and said angrily: "Gongsun Tongju, you must have been kicked in the brain by a donkey, grandpa is here, how can there be any nobleman!" ”
Just as Tuoba Tietou thought, all the powerful people in Gyeongju City are gathered here, who else can be called a noble person in front of him!
Before the man in black could answer, he heard a laugh coming: "Tuoba stays, whose grandfather are you!" ”
Tuoba Tietou subconsciously replied: "I am your ......"
After he looked up and saw the visitor, he immediately swallowed back the remaining half of the sentence, and the original drunkenness was immediately half sober.
He struggled to get up, trotted in front of the arrival, knelt down on one knee and said, "Iron Head has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
As soon as Tuoba Tietou's words came out, except for a few who were drunk, everyone woke up in the banquet and knelt down one after another: "See His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
After Yan Kang didn't tell everyone to get up, after looking around, he saw that there were still a few drunk people lying on the desk, so he said softly: "Pull those few to sober up!" ”
A few students behind him suddenly agreed, stepped forward and pulled four or five drunks downstairs, and after a while, they dragged a few wet people up.
Tuoba Tietou looked at Yan Kang's style, and couldn't help but jump his eyelids, not knowing what this little prince wanted.
Wan Yankang lifted Tuoba Tietou: "General Tuoba, you get up and speak." ”
What the little prince meant, everyone else gave me to kneel and kneel.
Tuoba Tietou whispered to Wan Yankang: "His Royal Highness, can you give your subordinates a face......
In Tuoba Tietou, he is a general under King Zhao, and since Wan Yankang let himself get up first, he values himself, and he must give himself a little thin face no matter what.
Wan Yankang didn't wait for Tuoba Tietou to finish speaking, so he interrupted his words and pointed at the man in black: "Then who, come and talk." ”
Hearing this, the man in black got up and walked quickly to Wan Yankang, bent down and arched his hand: "Gyeongju Tongju Gongsun Yu, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Wan Yankang asked, "How do you know that a noble person has come to the door?" ”
Gongsun Yu said: "The entourage of the prince is a brave man, the white horse that the son rides, there is no one in ten thousand, and the son himself is the dragon among the people." ”
Wanyan Kang laughed for a long time, turned his head to face Tuoba Tietou, and suddenly his face sank: "This prince was ordered to come to inspect the northern frontier, and the defenders of the city will see the arrival of a large group of men and horses, and they are completely defenseless, just like a local chicken and a dog, this is what General Tuoba called an elite soldier!" ”
Tuoba Tietou replied: "His Royal Highness, the elite soldiers of this mansion are mostly used to guard against the Northern Kou. ”
After Yan Kang snorted, a slap slapped the person to the ground, and scolded angrily: "In broad daylight, the lord of a city, regardless of the governance place, led the crowd to have lewd pleasures, if it weren't for the fact that I saw you follow my father for many years, today the son of this world should behead you to set an example!" ”
Tuoba Tietou originally had a little bit of alcohol left, but he was awakened by this slap, and he woke up that this little prince has been ruthless since he was a child, and he is also strong in martial arts. At this moment, where did he dare to talk back, so he had to obediently lie on the ground, admit his mistake and beg for mercy.
What Yan Kang saw when he entered the city this time was angry and happy.
The angry thing is that Tuoba Tietou's so-called elite soldiers and fierce generals are really not worth mentioning, and these officials are also corrupt and incompetent.
Happily, I originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to make Wanyan Hongyi sit in a stable position, so it was worry-free. The officials of the Manchu Mansion and the magnates in the city were all caught in pigtails today, carrying the power of the emperor and grandson, wouldn't these people let themselves handle it to their heart's content.
Among the civil and military forces in Gyeongju, although most of them are unbearable, there is also a Gongsun Yu, who is a great talent, which can be regarded as an unexpected joy. This person is well-read, and in addition to reading Confucianism, he has also obtained the essence of Legalism. At first, this person was still a little clumsy, but after many exchanges with Wan Yankang, he felt that the lord and the minister got along.
Before dawn the next day, Tuoba Tietou quietly left Gyeongju Mansion with his family and hundreds of personal soldiers.
