The courtyard is a little deeper, the willows are piled up with smoke, and the curtains are not repeated. Yule carved saddle tour smelter, the height of the building does not see Zhangtai Road.
Ye Qing took Yu Yunwen, who was helpless behind him, and the two pushed open the thick vermilion door and walked into the mansion of Zhao Shixiong, the prefect of Yangzhou.
In the courtyard that has been empty, whether it is a garden path or a pavilion house, even if there is not much dust and dead leaves, but looking around at the somewhat lonely and silent courtyard, people will always feel as if this courtyard is doing helpless sighing and lonely waiting.
But just idle for a few days, after the family members, subordinates, maids and other people in the house left, the whole courtyard still showed a trace of decay and depression, from the front yard to the backyard, you can see the original owner's delicacy and luxury everywhere, and the decoration style also reveals the owner's taste everywhere.
Ye Qing looked at the courtyard where Zhao Shixiong lived, and wanted to open the seal on the door again to go in and take a look, but he was held down by a hand, preventing him from violating the laws of the Great Song Dynasty again.
Ye Qing, who gave up continuing to spy on the details of Zhao Shixiong's life on weekdays, reluctantly turned around and walked around the small garden in front of the house and said: "Sad that the spring waves under the bridge are green, and they used to be ...... by shocking pictures." ”
After reading a sentence just now, Ye Qing, who was alert, hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at Yu Yunwen who was standing at the flowing water of the small bridge.
What I just read is the poem that Lu You made when he went to Shen Yuan in his later years, and it doesn't seem to match this situation very well.
"There are two times, and it turns out to be a chapter, and I look down on you." Yu Yunwen turned around, looked at Ye Qing and said.
"That is, I am eight years old, rich in learning, and after returning to Lin'an, I plan to get a university scholar." Behind Ye Qing's hands, he was a scholar who was sad about the spring and autumn, worried about the country and the people.
But in exchange for Yu Yunwen's blank eyes and sarcasm, and then he asked a little panicked: "You don't plan to return to Lin'an, you really want to ask the Emperor Taishang to give you a civil official, right?" ”
"Nonsense, since you have such a good idea, not to mention that I have also made a contribution to this trip to the Northland, don't try to ask for a civil ......."
"With your current age, wouldn't it be better to participate in the imperial examination, why should you go to the shameless ...... of the literati."
"I don't need the big backer of the emperor, and then go to see the hypocrisy of you literati? I don't have masochistic tendencies, so I don't bother to look at those people's faces. Ye Qing said disdainfully, but he was beating the drum in his heart, I especially want to participate in the imperial examination, although I dare not say that I am in the top three, but the last place is definitely in my Ye Qing's bag!
Reading through classical Chinese is not good, I bought a copy of Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Pen Talk", and after reading less than two pages, I determined that no one would look at the book and who was not pleasing to the eye, and participated in the imperial examination at such a level, so I must not let the neighbors, even Bai Chun and Yan Chengcheng die of laughter.
Maybe even Jin Se and You'er, Li Heng, Po Li San and others have to despise themselves, and they finally rely on the two words they stole to accumulate the fame of the talent, and they have to lose all of them overnight.
"Shechen! Shechen! Shechen! Yu Yunwen had never seen such a scoundrel, his fingers trembled and pointed at Ye Qing, and he said angrily: "If one day, my Great Song Dynasty will still appear like Qin Hui's minister, don't guess that I will think that it will definitely be you Ye Qing!" ”
"You are slandering, making something out of nothing, and planting blame!" Ye Qing regarded it as a compliment, and his mouth was refuting, but his demeanor was quite proud, and Yu Yunwen's highly and appropriate evaluation of himself.
The two swaggered out of Zhao Shixiong's mansion while bickering, and saw a team of soldiers in bright armor, led by a military attaché, hurried to the door.
The man in a brand new armor looked at Ye Qing and Yu Yunwen who were closing the door quietly, and after the two turned around, he asked coldly, "The seal on the door was torn by the two of you?" What are you two here for? ”
"I didn't tear it." Ye Qing and Yu Yunwen denied it in unison, and then the two looked at each other in surprise almost at the same time.
"Who's torn that?" The young military attache asked again.
"It's him." Ye Qing and Yu Yunwen had a very tacit understanding, and pointed at each other in unison.
Ye Qing and Yu Yunwen were right, and the appearance of betraying each other almost without thinking about it made the military attache who asked them laugh.
With a hint of a smile on his face, Han Yanxuan looked at the two who pointed at each other funny, and did not order the two to be arrested after the two accused each other, but continued to ask, "Who are the two?" Why do you want to tear this official seal? ”
"He is Yu Yunwen, the young secretary of Dali Temple, and he tore off the seal in order to investigate the case. Dare to ask this general's surname? Ye Qing sold the other party faster than Yu Yunwen.
And Yu Yunwen just moved his mouth, and he also wanted to sell Ye Qing, but he had no choice but to be an extraordinary yamen in the Imperial City Division, so he hesitated, so he could only watch Ye Qing pull him out and act as a shield.
Han Yanxuan's gaze became no longer sharp, and he slowly looked at Yu Yunwen with Ye Qing's words.
Yu Yunwen had no choice but to walk down the steps with Ye Qing, came to Han Yanxuan, took out his waist card and explained: "Yu Yunwen, the young secretary of the Lower Dali Temple, has some doubts about this case in his heart today, so he opened the seal privately and came over to confirm it to see if there was any omission. ”
"The last general, Han Yanxuan, has seen Yu Shaoqing." Han Yanxuan hurriedly saluted Yu Yunwen, and then slowly looked at Ye Qing.
The corners of Ye Qing's mouth twitched slightly, isn't this world quite big? When did you become so smiling? Why do you talk about whoever appears before you? Am I God? Grant every wish?
"Ye Qing in the Forbidden Army, I have seen General Han." Ye Qing tried not to let his eyes stay on Han Yanxuan for too long, so as not to attract people's attention.
"General Ye, the last general is polite." Han Yanxuan saluted again without humility or arrogance, obviously he knew Ye Qing's identity, but he didn't point it out in public.
At this time, Ye Qing and Yu Yunwen glanced at each other again, and finally understood what Chongguo Gong said when he came out of Chongguo Mansion and invited Chongguo Gong to drink together.
Looking at Han Yanxuan in front of him, he didn't have to think about it to know that Han Cheng, the commander of the Five Rivers Army, had entered Yangzhou City, and he did not lead 10,000 people of the Five Rivers Army back to their camp as rumored by the outside world.
Of course, this does not rule out that the army has returned to the camp, but Han Cheng and his son stayed behind and entered Yangzhou City.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding." Peng Qi hurriedly ran over from the sedan chair in the distance, and continued: "Someone just reported that the seal of the imperial court was torn, so Lord Liu, so I asked me to come over and have a look, and it happened that General Han was also there, so I came over to check it together." ”
Yu Yunwen and Han Yanxuan glanced at each other, and then without waiting for Yu Yunwen to speak, Han Yanxuan took the initiative to explain: "The last general and Han Tongzhi were stationed in Yangzhou City on the order of the Privy Council, after all, now the prefect and pacification envoy have been arrested and brought to justice, and the sentence envoy Li Xizhi has not yet found out whether it is related to Zhao Shixiong's case, the imperial court is afraid that Yangzhou will be chaotic at this turbulent moment, so it ordered Han Tongzhi to lead 3,000 people to be stationed outside the city, only the last general and Han Tongzhi entered Yangzhou City, and the men and horses brought by him were only 200 guards. ”
"In that case, it's a matter of worrying too much." Yu Yunwen smiled, as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he naturally has the right to supervise, and he naturally has the right to inquire about the fact that the garrison army has no chance to enter Yangzhou City.
After watching Yu Yunwen finish speaking, Han Yanxuan's eyes were on Ye Qing's body, as if he was asking Ye Qing if he had any objections.
"Don't look at me, the reason why I'm still in Yangzhou is because I want to recuperate, so I'm not on an errand. What's more, General Han is also on the orders of the Privy Council, and there is nothing wrong with it, so I have no reason to ask. Ye Qing shrugged his shoulders and said to Han Yanxuan easily.
"In that case, thank you General Ye." Han Yanxuan smiled slightly, and then waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately made way for Ye Qing and Yu Yunwen.
History may be like this, even if you have participated in the trajectory of history, it still cannot change the interesting and coincidental scenes of history.
Ye Qing never thought that he would meet Han Yanxuan in Yangzhou, let alone that when he came to Yangzhou again a few years later, Han Yanxuan, who had become the commander of the first army, arrived in Zhenjiang and looked at him across the river, faintly confronting him.
Of course, he wouldn't know that when he arrived in Yangzhou again a few years later, it was also when he began to bear the accusations and infamy, and began to really rectify Yangzhou and Huainan East Road.
left a hundred jailers who were originally lent to Yu Yunwen, and continued to be sent by Yu Yunwen, and declined the future of Chongguo Gong, after the send-off banquet of Zhao Shichun, who was in Yangzhou with him.
Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Qing, Po Li San, and ten escorts began to sail south to return to Lin'an.
Three days later, when he stepped on the ferry of the Qiantang River again, Ye Qing actually had a feeling of being separated from the world, the scars on his chest and back had basically healed, and he removed most of the scabs and threw them into the Qiantang River.
As soon as he stood on the ferry, he was about to sigh in his heart that no one had come to greet him, when Wang Lun appeared in front of him like a ghost, with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations to Commander Ye, congratulations to Commander Ye on his triumphant return." Wang Lun was dressed in a cyan robe, and the smile on his white face looked somewhat hypocritical to Ye Qing.
"No, as soon as you get on the dock, let me enter the palace, right? Don't let you go back home? Isn't it okay to change clothes? Ye Qing looked at Wang Lun, and after taking the lead in saluting, he began to complain about Wang Lun's inhumanity.
"Don't come with our family like this, who didn't let you go home? Hand over what should be handed over, and then you can get out, remember to wait with Ningmen tomorrow, and wait for the summons of the emperor. Wang Lun and Ye Qing walked forward side by side and said with a sneer.
Ye Qing looked around, only to find that there were several eunuchs with the same expressions as Wang Lun, mixed in the crowd, and were following them in the direction of the carriage.
"In such a hurry?" Ye Qing smiled, and then ordered Li San to pour the documents that the pottery knife was handed over to him, as well as the account books of gold, silver, treasures, jewels and jade after copying Zhao Shixiong's house, and handed them to Wang Lun.
"Have you opened it and seen it?" Wang Lun took the document from the pottery knife, pointed at it and asked Ye Qing.
"I wanted to open it, but I didn't know the mechanism on it, and I didn't know if I could copy it, so I gave up." Ye Qing said without concealment.
"Count your kid acquaintance, if you dare to open it, our family will break one of your legs!" Wang Lun said with a smile.
Ye Qing involuntarily looked at the crotch, this old boy wouldn't like to break other people's famous three legs because he was missing those three legs, right?
"Don't worry, I still have a little patience." Ye Qing muttered, and then watched Wang Lun carefully inspect the things in his hand and hand them over to the two eunuchs who came out next to him.
