Chapter III. The sword asked Beiyan 116.There are beautiful women in Chang'an
"You don't need to waste your mind about their affairs, if you really refuse to listen to persuasion, the old body will kill this bastard now......"
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from outside the door. Shen Gui looked back and found that the closed door had been pushed open at some point; At this time, the person standing in front of the door and talking was the old woman who had just cleaned up the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks downstairs opposite - Chi Zhong!
As the so-called thousands of clothes are worn, and the sycophants are not worn, Shen Gui seems to have completely forgotten the previous fight; Now as soon as he saw Chi Zhong appear, he immediately made friends with this 'enemy'......
"Master!"
"Smack!"
Before Shen Gui could hug Chi Zhong, he had already received a hard slap on his face......
"Call me Granny Huang!"
As Shen Gui expected, the so-called people are not all the way, and they don't enter the door; The shopkeeper of the Huang family mash is a cold-faced and hot-hearted old man, and his 'Mrs. Huang' also has this temper. Although her skills are very clever, she didn't intend to really hurt Shen Gui! Although this slap sounded extremely loud, it didn't even use half of the strength.
As the old saying goes, 'filial piety comes from under the stick', and this is not an unreasonable bad habit. At least Shen Gui, who has no skin and no face, is indeed much more honest after being slapped by the 'former teacher'.
"Granny Huang... I have a lot of questions now, where do I start? ”
"Pick those questions that have nothing to do with the old name Hanako."
“…… Hey......"
Next, in the gloomy eyes of the two girls, Granny Huang told the reason why this royal fan was 'a curse rather than a blessing'.
It turns out that at present, the old capital of Chang'an City, and even the entire land of Sanqin, although still nominally under the jurisdiction of the Northern Yan Dynasty, has already been 'in its own line'; although they will still pay the annual taxes in full, but if we look at it from the perspective of the law of imperial power, the livelihood of the people in the entire land of Sanqin, as well as the promotion, appointment and dismissal of civil and military officials, etc., have all been out of the control of Yanjing City.
Of course, the fertile water of 'Chang'an City' did not flow into the fields of outsiders. Now the 'Earth Emperor', who actually controls the land of Sanqin, is the nephew of Emperor Zhou Yuanqing, the Emperor of Heaven, Zhou Changfeng, Marquis of Xin'an.
Emperor Wen of Northern Yan, Zhou Youxiao, had three sons under his knees: the eldest son Zhou Yuanjing, the second prince Zhou Yuanling, and the third prince Zhou Yuanqing, that is, the current Tianyou Emperor of the Northern Yan Dynasty.
However, the emperor's eldest son, Zhou Yuanjing, unfortunately died of a 'pox' when he was seven years old, which is commonly known as smallpox, and the second prince, Zhou Yuanling, was young and intelligent, studious, eloquent, and handsome and handsome like Emperor Xiao, so he was naturally loved by his father; Therefore, when he was just in the year of the weak crown, he had been named the 'King of Qin' by the first emperor, and gave the entire land of the Three Qin as his territories; it can be seen that although Zhou Yuanling still did not get the title of the crown prince, at least from the title of the King of Qin, it was basically finalized that he would inherit the unification.
However, there are unforeseen circumstances, and if the meat is not put in your mouth for a day, it may fall to the ground at any time. In the second year after he was named the king of Qin, there was a great 'good news' in Yanjing City: this Qin king Zhou Yuanling now has an additional third brother, named Zhou Yuanqing.
In fact, Zhou Youxiao's physical condition at that time was not very optimistic. Therefore, in the eyes of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of the world, this third prince, who is twenty-two years younger than the King of Qin, does not pose any threat to him at all! To put it mildly, even if Zhou Youxiao can last another ten years, this child is only ten years old; Moreover, His Royal Highness King Qin Zhou Yuanling is not a narrow-minded and scheming person; Now that I have a third brother, I am more happy than worried......
But God loves to joke so much! At the time when Zhou Youxiao was seriously ill and died, and the dragon returned to heaven, the king of Qin was leading tens of thousands of horses and horses to fight bloody battles with the red-clothed army under the command of the 'big and small golden boy Buddha' in the western frontier; it was not until half a year later that the king of Qin finally led the army to level the Tianshui Pass, completely clearing the biggest obstacle to the resumption of the Silk Road for the Northern Yan Dynasty; however, when he led the victorious army and had just returned to the west gate of Chang'an City, he happened to receive an 800-mile rush from Yanjing City!
This newspaper said that his third brother Zhou Yuanqing, who was just in his early tens, respected the will of the first emperor and had already ascended the throne in the capital and changed the Yuan to start the new year!
In the past six months, the battlefield fighting, coupled with the anger and attack, has also led to the recurrence of old injuries, His Royal Highness Zhou Yuanling, King of Qin, after reading the palace report, opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and after shaking his body on the horse, he fell headlong outside the west gate of Chang'an......
Died on the spot!
Regarding the aftermath of this matter, the final result given by Yanjing City is that in accordance with the saying of 'King Qin died on the battlefield and sacrificed his life for the country', a grand state funeral was held for him, and the little emperor Zhou Yuanqing personally went out of the city to help the spirit, and sent him, the second uncle of the King of Qin, who had outstanding military achievements, to the imperial mausoleum in the suburbs of Beijing for burial. After that, Emperor Tianyou, who was only ten years old, also 'Yukou Qinfeng' his nephew Zhou Changfeng, who was only six years old at the time, as 'Marquis of Xin'an', and allowed him to take over the will of his father, His Royal Highness King Qin, and lead the troops to guard the northwest gate of the Northern Yan Dynasty.
A six-year-old child naturally doesn't know what a national hatred or family hatred is, but a child will always grow up one day. When he knows the ins and outs of the whole thing and gets an 'irrefutable' mountain of ironclad evidence, what do you think this young man will think about this whole thing?
And the so-called ironclad evidence is that his imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother died on the same day!
You must know that the biological mother of his father, His Royal Highness King Qin, is the Empress of the East Palace of the Northern Yan Dynasty; And the biological mother of Emperor Zhou Yuanqing is just an ordinary concubine with a low status.
So how did Emperor Zhou Yuanqing's throne of Emperor Zhou Yuanqing come about?
But even if there is a speculation of 'hatred of stealing the country' in his heart, this 'endurance of humiliation' is still a 'loyal minister and good general' who has been pretending to be a 'loyal minister and good general' for more than 40 years; from this incident alone, it is enough to see what kind of bones and heart Zhou Changfeng has grown.
Although to this day, the tax and silver that should be paid to the treasury every year in the land of Sanqin are still sent to Yanjing City as scheduled. But as for the appointment, dismissal and transfer of local officials, people's livelihood decrees, and even the military spirit of generals and soldiers, they are all beyond the scope of Emperor Tianyou, who is far away in Yanjing City.
Yes, although in the name of the imperial court, this Zhou Changfeng is only the title of 'Marquis of Xin'an', but in the minds of the local officials and people, there is only a difference between the big and small Qin kings, and there is no difference between the marquis of the Qin kings!
There is also no God to bless Emperor Zhou Yuanqing!
However, in the final analysis, this matter is only his own business of the Northern Yan Imperial Family. What can it have to do with Shen Gui, the five 'fugitives from the Northern North'?
As for those people on the official face, even if they don't recognize the imperial fan of Emperor Tianyou, what can they do to themselves? In a highly densely populated big city like Chang'an City, as long as there is some chaos casually, the scene will definitely not be small; At least in this shoulder-to-shoulder, lively Chang'an City, with Shen Gui's ability, it is not difficult to escape with the other four people at all.
Qin Qiu also saw Shen Gui's carelessness at this time, his right hand shook, and the folding fan closed together with a 'swish', and quickly struck Shen Gui's forehead......
"Put away your little thoughts...... The danger of this Chang'an City is definitely not something you can imagine. I don't know why you're here, but if you believe me...... Or if you are willing to believe Qi Yan's words, take the two girls' house and leave here immediately; And it's best to get out of the city right away, if not......"
"If not, you will turn into the soul of His Royal Highness King Xiao Qin!"
Chi Zhong coldly took the second half of Qin Qiu's sentence.
Shen Gui was stunned for a moment, looking through the window at Chang'an City under the cover of night......
"You mean, King Xiao Qin is about to rebel?"
"Maybe yes, maybe not! But he must want the two dragon nails in your hand......"
Shen Gui looked at his master, and couldn't figure out why she was so hand-eyed. Although it is true that she is the killer of Di Ting, it is impossible for him to hide the 'evil fate' between him and Wu Chengfeng, so no matter how clever she is, she is at most a supernumerary; as for the identity of the shopkeeper in the wine shop...... In addition to knowing the market price of firewood, rice, oil and salt in Chang'an City, you can only hear the lace news in Chang'an City.
Before Shen Gui could figure out a result, the sound of uniform footsteps came from outside the door. He looked into the distance, and saw a team of about fifty people walking in the distance, each with torches, long knives at his waist, crossbows on his back, and neat armor; The first person rode a Western Regions BMW, and the helmet was pressed very low, so that he could not see his face and real age; But just from his unshakable upper body on horseback, it can be seen that this person is definitely a battlefield warrior who has been stained with countless souls under the sword!
Chi Zhong also heard the sound of the procession marching, and two 'thunderbolts' flashed through his eyes in an instant:
"This waste will be handed over to the 'ghost bird'! The rest of the people are all following the old body......"
Qin Qiu nodded, sat on the edge of the window, and drank Shen Gui's untouched 'herbal tea', while Shen Gui and his group of five hurriedly followed Chi Zhong and walked into the warehouse on the first floor of the inn......
"Division...... Granny Huang, how did you know that there was an authentic place here? ”
"This tunnel is the ...... I dug with Lao Huang"
"With your skills...... Do you still need to waste this effort? ”
"It's not what I use, it's Lao Huang. In recent years, the price of yellow rice in Chang'an City has increased several times......"
“………… Dayan, do you 'professionals' dig tunnels when you steal? ”
