The moonlight was hazy, and a fire dragon meandered through the official road, swimming towards Kaiyuan City.

On the city wall, Chang Chunming, the captain guarding the city, shouted: "Brothers, cheer up, prepare bows and crossbows." Niu Da, you go and report to General Yan quickly, Li Er, you go and inform Lord Lang Xu of the city gate. ”

Niu Da muttered dissatisfiedly: "At this time, I must be my own person who came from Yanshan Villa, what did I do to make a fuss, I alarmed General Yan, and the little one will be slapped twice." ”

"As far as you talk a lot of, who would dare to open the city gate without General Yan and Chengmen Lang, if you have a business trip, you don't want to have a head." Lieutenant Chang scolded and instructed his subordinates to open their crossbows and bows. Niu Da did not dare to delay, and ran down the horse road to the city.

There are a total of 16 city gates in the Yongchang Imperial Capital, and the west side is open to the far gate, the Jinguang gate, and the Yanping gate; Tonghua Gate, Chunming Gate, Yanxing Gate in the east; Anhua Gate, Mingde Gate, Qixia Gate in the south; The north is where the imperial city is located, in addition to the Guanghua Gate, Jingyao Gate, and Fanglin Gate are the city gates that open to and fro, there are also the Xuanwu Gate, the Chongxuan Gate, the Zhide Gate, and the Danfeng Gate that enter and exit the Imperial City, and these four portals are only for the internal personnel of the Imperial Palace to enter and exit, and the ordinary people only hear their names.

The city gate guard is in charge of the left and right guards in the sixteen guards, one general of the left and right guards, two generals in each guard, four generals in Zhonglang, and as many as 220 guards like Chang Chunming. In the past two hundred years of peace, the gate of the imperial capital has never been in trouble, and in the words of other guards, the left and right guards are the places where pigs are raised.

Chang Chunming asked Niu Da to go and inform the left prison guard on duty Zhonglang will be Yan Building Materials, the four Zhonglang will be one on duty on one side, and the west is Yan Building Materials on duty, Zhonglang will of course not have to patrol the city gate like the captain of the prison gate, and the Xicheng Duty Officer is located in Jude Fang.

When Niu Da arrived at the official house, Yan Building Materials was drunk for seven points, and listened to Niu Dayu's report in a daze that there was a sentry approaching the far gate from the official road, Yan Building Materials scolded and said: "Get out of Lao Tzu, what time to open the city gate now, you can't live in peace if you drink some wine, don't open it, let him wait." ”

Gan Qinglin, who joined the army under his command, complained bitterly, drinking and mistaking at the city gate was a crime, there was nothing to do during the peaceful years, everyone would drink two glasses on duty on weekdays, as long as they were not drunk, even if they were caught by the general on patrol, they would be whipped twice. Yan Jiancai is afraid of alcohol, and he doesn't dare to drink at home, so he often gets drunk when he is on duty, and his subordinates can't persuade him.

Yan building materials is the son-in-law of Liu Xingjie in the subordinate service (from the third product), Liu Xingjie was born in the Han Liu family, and the eldest daughter married to the Son of Heaven is Liu Guifei in the palace, and Yan Building Materials and the Son of Heaven are brothers-in-law. However, Yan Jiancai's wife was born to a concubine, and Liu did not take much care of him.

Seeing that Yan Building Materials was already drunk and confused, Gan Qinglin said to Niu Dao: "You go back to the city gate first and tell Chang Chunming that the general will be there in a while, and let him try to delay it." Then he instructed the soldiers in the official office: "Go and fetch some well water, pour it on the general to sober him up, and you and I will not survive if we make a mistake." ”

A few buckets of cold water were poured on it, Yan Jiancai sobered up a little, stared blankly and asked, "What to do?" ”

Gan Qinglin was sweating in a hurry, and when he saw that Yan Building Materials was sober, he hurriedly said: "General, the army is coming to enter the city when the city gate is opened, and I am waiting for you to go to inspect the talisman and check the customs." ”

Yan Jiancai hurriedly stood up shakingly, someone brought armor to put on for him, buckled the helmet, Yan Jiancai turned over and wanted to get on the horse, but he was drunk and weak, and fell from the horse several times. Gan Qinglin was anxious and wise, and said: "Quickly prepare the carriage, prepare cold water in the car, the general washes up, and then drinks some tea to eliminate the alcohol, Bodhisattva bless, don't have an accident." ”

When the carriage arrived at the city gate, Shi Chongwei had been waiting outside the city gate for more than a quarter of an hour. When he was having dinner in Yanshan Villa, his father praised him a few words, and the queen mother couldn't close her mouth happily, and secretly stuffed him with a stack of silver tickets before leaving, Shi Chongwei saw that the most superficial one was the words one thousand taels, and this thick stack was at least thirty or forty thousand taels.

His father asked 500 officers and soldiers of the left guard to escort him back to the city, and he was in good spirits on a happy occasion, standing outside the gate of Kaiyuan City, Shi Chongwei's face was full of joy. Zhu Yiling, the general of the left guard who escorted him, was a little reluctant, and urged the horse to come to the city gate and raised his head and shouted: "What's the matter? It's been so long since the fish talisman was handed in, haven't you finished surveying it? Did you deliberately let Lao Tzu drink the northwest wind outside, and when Lao Tzu entered the city, he had to fuck the stupid pigs of your left prison guard. ”

The sixteen guards in Beijing are fighting with each other, and the most despised is naturally the left and right prison guards, Chang Chunming secretly complained at the head of the city, and General Yan, the general of the left prison guards, has not yet arrived, how dare he order the city gate to be opened.

Shi Chongwei won the lottery in the other garden, he was in a good mood, and persuaded with a smile: "General Zhu, don't be impatient, it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer, the city gate guard is a big deal, you can't be sloppy, and you have to abide by the law alone." ”

"Your Royal Highness is really benevolent, if you want to rely on my old Zhu, you have to cure the sin of contempt of this group of boys." Zhu Yiling said indignantly, in his opinion, it was clear that the people of the left guard were deliberately making things difficult for the officers and soldiers of their left guard.

Yan Jiancai stepped out of the carriage, his legs were weak, and he almost didn't kneel on the ground, and a strong smell of alcohol hit the noses of the people around him. The carriage was galloping too quickly just now, and Yan Yan's abdomen was so bumped that it was as uncomfortable as turning over the river and the sea, so he pressed it down, straightened his helmet, and asked with a majestic look: "Who entered the city at night, and the fish talisman for entering the city is there?" ”

Open the city gate to the left and right guards on duty in the middle of the Lang and the gate of the courtyard of the city gate Lang two people present, survey the fish charm and record in detail before opening the door, after opening the door to the form of documents to report to the academy and the door of the courtyard for future reference.

Han Jiefeng, the city gate of the gate of the lower courtyard, was just about to speak, but Yan Yancai burped, and the sour smell almost didn't smoke him. Holding back the discomfort, Han Jiefeng said: "General Yan, it is the officers and soldiers of the Left Guard who escort the prince into the city. This is a fish talisman, please take a look, if it is correct, open the city earlier, the prince has been waiting outside the city for more than a quarter of an hour. ”

It was the prince who wanted to enter the city, and Yan Yan's scalp was numb, and he almost missed a big event. took the fish talisman from Han Jiefeng's hand, reached out to touch the other half of his sleeve, and the two fish matched in one place, which was the inquest. The hand was in the arms, but it was empty, and the fish charm was pulled in the wet clothes when he changed the wet clothes.

Han Jiefeng saw Yan Building Materials change face and color, but he couldn't take out the fish charm, his head "buzzed", and he couldn't open the city gate, although the blame was on Yan Building Materials, and he had to eat and hang up as the city gate man on duty. Han Jiefeng was so anxious that he jumped his legs, and said in a scorched voice: "General Yan, think about where the fish is in Fula, His Highness is waiting outside, we can't afford to suffer after a long time." ”

Yan Yan Yan was in a cold sweat, and ordered the guards to hurry back to the official mansion to get the fish talisman from the wet clothes, without the fish talisman, he didn't dare to order the city gate to be opened first, knowing that it was the prince outside the city. When the fish talisman was taken, closed, and the city gate was opened, nearly half an hour passed, and everyone welcomed the prince into the city.

By the light of the torches, everyone saw Shi Chongwei's gaze Lingli, and there was no trace of a smile on his face, if it was daytime, they would definitely be able to see the color of Tie Qing. Whoever stayed outside the city gate for half an hour couldn't feel better, and Zhu Yiling, the general of the left guard, was even more angry, and when he saw Yan Jianzhu standing by the road, he was angry in his heart, and sneered: "Who should I be so bold to block the prince outside the city for half an hour, it turned out to be General Yan Zhonglang." It's no wonder that General Yan is Liu Shizhong's beloved son-in-law, I heard that he loves to learn from the ancients to play and sing when he has nothing to do, is he drunk and scolding the street if he hasn't opened the door for so long? ”

Yan Yan's building materials dared to speak, his abdomen spasmed in fright, and he gritted his teeth and endured it, just waiting for the prince's men and horses to pass and vomit. Zhu Yiling saw him staring, mistakenly thinking that he was not convinced, and urged the horse to point with a leather whip: "Yan building materials, don't you be convinced, if you have a kind of future, the two brothers will compare and contrast on the school field, and Zhu can knock you down with one hand, whoever loses will shout three times Grandpa." ”

This is a bully, the clay man still has three points of fire, Yan Jiancai was born as a martial artist, and if you don't open your mouth at this time, don't look up and be a man in this life.

"Zhu Yiling, don't deceive people too much...... Belch! A turbid wave rushed out, and the air was filled with a foul smell of alcohol, and the key was that the vomit was still sprayed on Shi Chongwei's front hooves. Shi Chongwei originally suppressed his anger and couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted angrily: "Drinking like this when you are guarding the city gate is an unforgivable sin, lock up this guy first to sober up, and escort him to the military headquarters tomorrow to judge the crime." ”

At the beginning of the year, Xiong Zhi'an finally waited for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was angry. Looking at Shi Chongwei's face, Xiong Zhixin was relieved, eighty percent of them were reprimanded by Wan Sui, so he was so angry. In his heart, he comforted in his heart: "Your Highness, don't worry, everything has room to turn around, you first take a sip of tea to rest, and tell the old minister carefully." ”

After receiving the tea handed by He Ziying, Shi Chongwei found that Xiong Zhiren was trying his best to hide his anxiety, his heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "Guozhang misunderstood, the matter in Suxi County has been properly resolved, and it is something else to be angry and angry." ”

He Ziying recited the Buddha next to him, and said: "It's okay, the grandfather of the country is in a hurry for two hours, and if His Royal Highness doesn't come again, the gold bricks in this hall should be changed." ”

Hearing that a serious person like He Ziying actually made a joke, everyone laughed. Xiong Zhiren breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in the chair gloomily, and sighed: "The matter of the Huangzhuang involves the face of the former emperor and Long live, the old minister is afraid that the prince is young and vigorous, and Lord Jiang is a quick temper, and it will be difficult to end the trouble." It's okay, Your Highness will tell the old minister what happened. ”

Shi Chongwei felt that this matter was his proud doing, and described the scene at that time vividly, Xiong Zhiren and He Ziying listened to the mood stirred and thrilling, although Shi Chongwei tried his best to boast of his role, both of them are well-educated people, and they can naturally hear Jiang Anyi's wisdom and courage from it.

After the prince finished speaking, he picked up the cup and drank tea, Xiong Zhiren breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you can get the help of peace and righteousness, the prince will also be blessed." ”

(I wish people a long time and a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!) ）
