Chapter 78: Someone Leaves the City
The next day, October 12th, Yun Xi got up when he was young, and immediately after washing up, he began to look at the excerpts, and he hadn't finished making up for what had fallen yesterday. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info until noon and almost lunchtime. He was relieved to finish reading the tasks that should be completed.
Then he leaned back in his chair and flipped through the folds that the little eunuch in the hall had just delivered.
He really just wanted to see if there were any diplomatic twists. China's ancient feudal dynasties, including the Ming Dynasty, basically do not agree with much modern people on diplomacy, and Yun Xi is no exception, so although diplomacy is not very important to Da Ming at this time, Yun Xi is still the first to pay attention to this aspect of things, and he can remedy it as much as he can if he thinks it is inappropriate.
However, there was no such note today, but the other two letters caught Yun Xi's attention.
First, Mu Chun's process of attacking Xipinghou was finally completed, so Mu Chun asked him to return to Yun Chen. Lao Zhu approved the permission, and also gave instructions to go to the city gate to see him off, and it is estimated that Yun Xi will have to go there at that time.
Second, Gao Xiang, who was sent to Hangzhou, routinely reported on the exchange of treasure banknotes for rice. The situation in Hangzhou is stable and there is no problem, but Yunxi remembered what happened in Suzhou. He turned out the return of Jinyiwei, and compared with Zhuo Jing's intermittent report, he saw that the situation in Suzhou was still not optimistic. Although the number of people who exchange rice has decreased these days, it is still outside the designated range.
However, Yun Xi still chose to trust Zhuo Jing for the time being, and waited until the situation was about to get out of control before intervening. He is willing to give his subordinates more trust and let them take more responsibility. Well, in fact, he is lazy, but he is indeed willing to trust his subordinates. Of course, if someone fails to live up to his trust, then that person will never 'take on the heavy responsibility' again.
Yun Xi had lunch, took a lunch break, and continued to watch the music in the afternoon. In the afternoon, Wenying came to see him, and he was very happy. Yun Xi likes to have people who can communicate on an equal footing and are about the same age to talk to him, and it would be better if he was a soft girl. And Wen Ying happened to meet all the points, so Yun Xi still welcomed Wen Ying to come.
==========================================================
Another three days have passed, October 15th, and today is the time for Mu Ying to return to Yunyun. Zhu Yuanzhang's official send-off time was from 9 o'clock to 11 o'clock in the morning, but at two o'clock in the morning, the guards of the imperial city, together with the officials of Yingtianfu, came to the west gate of the capital to drive people away. When the people who were about to leave the city saw this, they all rushed forward, fearing that they would have to go out through another gate when it was too late.
The doorman at the gate of the city couldn't stop it, and he couldn't care about checking or anything, so he could only get out of the way and let the people go out quickly.
There was a group of men and women, old and young, who looked like a family, and they went out of the city gate with the crowd.
The men were relieved when they came out of the city gates, and if they had been called back for interrogation; But today, these gatekeepers only cared about the people who entered the city, and they could no longer care about the people who left the city, so they went out of the city safely.
They walked out of the city for a while, until they could no longer see the gates, and then they found a flat place by the side of the road, and stopped to rest.
One of the girls, who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, said to another, who looked eighteen or nineteen years old, "Sure enough, as my sister said, they let us out today without checking." ”
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman said: "Today is the day when Xiping Hou Muchun returns to Yunyun, and we are at the gate of the city at this time, in order to let the people go out as soon as possible, they will definitely not check in detail." ”
"Since we started hiding, I have remembered that there is still Xiping Hou Muchun who has not returned, and there will definitely be such a thing, just waiting for this day to get out of the city. Although the inspection of our surface has gone, it is still going on in private. For the sake of safety, we have to wait for this day. ”
This eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman is the original Tan Shanggong who has been hiding from Jinyiwei's arrest for more than ten days, and the others are Chen Chen and her family. They hid in the city for more than ten days, and they didn't dare to go out of the city until yesterday from the notice posted near the hiding place that they knew that Mu Chun had returned to Yunyun, and Zhu Yuanzhang had to see him off in person, and then they dared to come out.
Tan Shanggong originally had nothing to worry about because his relatives were dead, and he planned to be captured. But Chen Jing also knew her very well, so after knowing that something was wrong, she immediately let her brother knock her out and took her to a hidden location arranged in advance.
Then Tan Shanggong woke up because he didn't want to involve Chen Chen's family because he was arrested, so he followed them into hiding, and later under Chen Chen's persuasion, he finally gave up the idea of death, and had the hope of life, and today he also went out of the city with them.
In fact, Chen Chen's persuasion process is very complicated and wise, but I won't elaborate much here, everyone should know how difficult it is.
Then Tan Shanggong asked, "Next, where are you going to go?" I'm alone and have no relatives to turn to, so I can only look up to you. ”
Chen Chen said: "I have a cousin uncle, who served as a hundred households in the Yanwang Sanwei in Beiping, and is loyal and honest. I discussed it with my parents, and they agreed. ”
Chen Chen's mother, Wei Shi, also came over and said, "Tan Shanggong, Chen Chen's father's cousin-in-law is very reliable and will not ignore us." Besides, there are so many of us in our group, and we don't look like rich people, and we are not afraid of anything. It's a big deal, I'm going somewhere else when I get to Beiping. ”
Tan Shanggong has nowhere to go, of course he has no opinion. Then Chen Chen's mother, Wei, said: "Just walking on the road, Tan Shanggong, you and my daughter have to blacken their faces; Fortunately, it's almost winter, and I already have a lot of clothes to wear, so I don't need to wrap more clothes around my body. ”
Tan Shanggong had never walked outside, so after listening to their words, he hurriedly picked up black ash and applied it to his face and neck, and Chen Chen did the same. Chen Muwei stepped forward to help. Fortunately, there are a lot of them, and this is the main road, and others don't have to come to squeeze when they see that there are people in this flat place here, so they are not found out what they are doing.
After a while, Wei let go of his hand, let the black ash in his hand sprinkle on the ground, and said to Tan Shanggong: "Shanggong, okay, this time others can't recognize it." ”
Then they picked up again and got up and went on the road. Before leaving, Chen Chen asked Tan Shanggong: "Sister Tan, we can't always call you Tan Shanggong in the future, what is your real name, sister?" We call you well. As for identity, it's easy to arrange, just say you're my other cousin. ”
Tan Shanggong gently brushed his hair with his blackened hand and said, "I have long forgotten my real name." In the future, you can call me Tan Wei'er. ”
