Approaching noon, the sky was overcast, in the drizzle, the road was gradually muddy, and the official road was sparsely populated. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

He helped the hat, pulled the reins, and let the mount slowly stop on the side of the road, and a carriage came slowly behind him, and then stopped beside him, Zheng Shanguo saw the curtain lifted, and after dismounting, he took off the hat, walked to the side of the car and whispered:

"Mother, Bai Gou is coming."

A woman in the car nodded when she heard this, she was Zheng Shanguo's widowed mother Cui Shi, seeing that there was rain in Zheng Shanguo's hair, she hurriedly said: "Ah Guo, quickly bring the hat, don't get wet." ”

Zheng Shanguo put on the hat and said: "Mother, now that it is raining and the road is muddy, why don't you rest in Baigou Station and hurry tomorrow?" ”

The drizzle had no intention of stopping, and Zheng Shanguo thought that it was better to rest at the post house outside Baigou City in Xizhou, lest the next road be difficult to travel, and it would be troublesome if he couldn't catch the next post house in the evening.

Hearing this, Cui Shi asked rhetorically: "What time is it?" ”

"Mother, it's almost noon."

"Ah Guo, it only started to rain early this morning, the road will not be muddy and difficult to walk, if you don't hurry up now, if you really encounter heavy rain for several days, it is easy to delay the trip."

"Yes, Mother."

Zheng Shanguo agreed, put on a hat and turned over on the horse, and led the convoy to continue to move forward, the weather was okay a few days ago, but it was drizzling early this morning, and it seemed that it would not stop in three or five days, so it meant that the next journey would not be easy.

Zheng Shanguo, the new Liangjun County of Yangzhou, started from Yecheng and marched all the way south, after crossing the Yellow River, first passing through his hometown Xingyang, and then arriving at the Hanging Gourd of the Yuzhou Governor's Office.

Then continue to the south, to go to the Yuzhou Governor's Office under the Xizhou, the state of Song An is located on the north bank of the Huaishui, then board the boat at the wharf outside the city, you can go down the river, arrive at Yangzhou Prefecture Shouchun.

The whole process is thousands of miles away, Zheng Shanguo wants to take office in Yangzhou Liang County in the Huaishui Valley, and the imperial court gives a deadline of one and a half months, which is very lenient.

The distance of 1,2300 miles, even if you only walk 40 miles a day, you can reach it in 30 days, and the 45-day period is more than enough, but if it is overdue, Zheng Shanguo is very likely to lose his official position, not to mention, relying on the connections of the clan to get back the turnaround, but it will be fleeting.

He is not yet twenty years old this year, and Liang County is the place where Zhou Guoxin recovered, and it will not be too stable to be a county governor there, but the imperial army is stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, which is actually nothing.

The key is that if the opportunity to re-enter the career is lost like this, the next time I don't know that it will be until the Year of the Monkey.

Zheng Shanguo was born in Xingyang Zheng, his father Zheng Cheng was the general of the Zhou State, and was awarded the title of Kaifeng County Duke, and in the second year of the elephant, the imperial army crusaded against the governor of Xiangzhou and the lieutenant of Shu State, Chi Hui, and was defeated outside Yecheng, and Zheng Cheng, who went out with the army, was not in the chaos.

Zheng Shanguo was nine years old at the time, inherited his father's title, and after Yang Jian, the auxiliary prime minister, received Zen, Zheng Shanguo, who was still a child, became a courtier of the Sui State.

Zheng Shanguo and his mother Cui became orphans and widows, but the family background is not bad, his father is Xingyang Zheng, his mother is Qinghe Cui, with the help of many relatives and friends, and his uncle takes care of him, so life is not bad.

Who is Jung Sungo's uncle? Translated by Pei Guo Gong Zheng.

After the violent death of Tianyuan Emperor Yu Wenyun at the beginning of the second year of the elephant, Zheng Yi, who assisted Yang Jian in seizing power, was one of the 'Huang and Pei' Pei Guogong.

Zheng Shanguo, who has the blood of a dual family, has an uncle to take care of, so he became a thorn at the age of fourteen, and his future is bright, but with the sudden collapse of the Sui State, his fate has also changed.

Fortunately, Zheng Shanguo was a bystander during the Zhou Sui dispute, and he did not provoke the Wei Chi clan or the Yuwen clan, but he easily saved his life, but the title and official position were gone.

After the fall of the Sui State, Zheng Shanguo and other Sui officials went to Yecheng to be disposed of, and then returned to Xingyang with his mother Cui Shi and lived in the family manor.

At this time, Zheng Shanguo was white, and later relied on the multi-faceted operation of his clan relatives to get a chance to recover.

Less than twenty years old can be a county prince, from the perspective of the Han clan, this is an enviable starting point, but for the children of the Zheng family in Xingyang, such treatment is not good, Zheng Shanguo entered the office at the age of fourteen, and started as a state assassin, in comparison, the gap is obvious.

But what he did at that time was the assassination history of the Sui State, and now the form is different, the Zhou State has recovered the country, and for those 'traitors' to be screened before deciding whether to reuse, many people are idle at home, compared with these people, the young Zheng Shanguo is already a lucky one.

And even more fortunately, there is a well-informed mother.

Cui's widow was widowed at a young age, pulling Zheng Shanguo to live, this time Zheng Shanguo went to Yangzhou (Zhouzhi Shouchun) to take office, naturally he also had to take the widowed mother to go, first, to do his filial piety, and secondly, Cui's did not worry about his son going out alone.

And what worries the Cui family the most is the current situation, now when the Wei Chi clan and the Yuwen clan are broken and the war is in chaos, she must follow her son to help make up her mind, so as not to cause trouble when the situation changes suddenly.

Bai Gou Yi got closer and closer, Zheng Shanguo found that there were a large number of horses in the stables next to the post house, and many soldiers were waiting for these horses, and it seemed that a large group of cavalry passed by the post house and stayed to rest for a while.

The Son of Heaven was seriously assassinated and died, the new monarch succeeded to the throne, and the prime minister sent a large army to crusade against the rebel Yu Wenliang father and son.

All the way south, seeing the frequent movement of soldiers and horses on the official road, Zheng Shanguo didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the scene in front of him, but he was a little worried that those military people were acting recklessly and unreasonably, and in case of a conflict, it would be bad after all.

He is an official of the imperial court, but he is afraid of provoking ill-intentioned people when he travels long distances, and it is not good if there is a conflict between the two sides.

Therefore, Zheng Shanguo felt that it was better to enter Baigou City directly, and rest in the Chuanshe to avoid this team of soldiers and horses, anyway, he was an official of the imperial court, and he had serious official documents in hand, so he was not afraid that the Chuanshe would not receive them.

Regarding his son's worries, Cui Shi disagreed, and did not say that he had a tribe with him, but said that these soldiers who took care of the horses had good military discipline and would definitely not be reckless and rude.

"Mother, why do you see that these soldiers have good military discipline?"

"You see, the postman brought clear water, and those soldiers took it and saluted and thanked him." Cui Shi smiled and motioned for his son to look at the stable, "What kind of general, what kind of soldiers to bring out." ”

The status of the post guard is humble, for the civil and military officials who stay in the post station and post house, there is no difference between the post guard and the slave, and even with his attaché is also commanding the post guard, and these soldiers in front of him are quite polite to the post pawn, and you can roughly see how its master will behave.

Zheng Shanguo sent someone to enter the post house first, and when the convoy arrived at the gate of the post house, the post man took a few post guards out to greet him, Zheng Shanguo explained a few words, and then personally took the umbrella, helped Cui's get off the car, and walked to the post house.

Under the guidance of Yicheng, the group walked towards the side courtyard, and when they passed through the main hall, they heard the sound of talking inside, Zheng Shanguo followed the prestige, but saw several generals eating, and another military general, talking to a man in official uniform.

The two were of the same age, looking to be about twenty years old, Zheng Shanguo felt that the young official was a little familiar, and the young military general was fresh, at this time he heard the young military general smile:

"Brother Yin, in Yu's opinion, the name of Bai Gouyi, the magic lies in the word 'Gou', which is worth writing a poem, but it is a seven-word poem."

"Oh, it's a seven-word poem, Yin listens to it."

"Ahem, I have occasional experiences, and I laugh." The young general coughed dryly a few times, and then said:

"The life and death of the country have been realized, and it will not be avoided because of misfortune and fortune..."
