Chapter 571: Don't stop until Chang'an

Fang Xie everyone drank in the pavilion on the bank at the confluence of the Yangtze River and Yishui to discuss current affairs, but the wine was not spicy, but people sighed. Everyone here has their own strengths, and they are prominent, and their minds are not on one side, but they are looking at one direction. Although the general of the water division, Duan Zheng, was unhappy and unwilling, and cried bitterly after drinking, what else could he do now?

Wu Yiyi is engaged in business, goods are connected to the world, there are no borders and no states, and the things he has seen and experienced are far from being comparable to others, so he can afford to open and let go of what Duan Zheng wants. During the banquet, everyone was no closer to the heavens than him, ordinary people fantasized about how the emperor lived and worshiped as a god all day long, but he had seen the emperor eat and drink, and peck, as if it were ordinary.

That's why there is a saying that you can only look far away when you climb high, and people who squat in low-lying places always only have one acre and three points of land in front of them.

The world is like this, following the trend is like going down the river and letting the boat go thousands of miles, and going against the trend, such as sailing against the current, it is difficult to move an inch. Now that the world is rising, it is the chaos in the world. The emperor wanted to turn the tide, but instead became a contrarian. Once upon a time, the emperor's words and deeds were the general trend, talking and laughing and pointing to the country, if the Great Sui is a ship, he is the helmsman, where to go, he points to the direction is a foregone conclusion.

Perhaps because of this, those powerful people who have now raised the flag to rebel will have a trace of pleasure.

It was also on this day that a corner of the Miaofeng Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River collapsed, and the boulder rolled down, and it is said that there were several clearly visible big characters on the falling boulder, and the Sui extinguished Yongxing.

I don't know how this news spread like a storm, and it didn't take long for it to spread half the world. It was also on this day that Luo Yao, the former left avant-garde general of the Great Sui, was promoted to the throne of King Yong in the south of the Yangtze River, and raised the banner of conforming to the will of heaven and the people, and wanted the Qing monarch to exterminate the traitors, and the morale of millions of soldiers was like a rainbow.

Still on this day, several auxiliary ministers in Chang'an City urgently discussed for two hours, and they were red-faced, and they didn't know how many teacups they threw and scolded a few words about the thief and your mother, and finally reached an agreement after the anger subsided. Whether the emperor is alive or dead, now they all only treat the emperor as dead. Several important ministers entered the palace to meet the queen, and discussed in the Fengluan Palace for another hour, and when the ministers bowed down and withdrew, the queen's eyes were red and tears rippled.

The drum in front of the Taiji Palace sounded suddenly, and the officials above the fifth grade in the capital hurried to the Taiji Hall when they heard the drums, and hundreds of courtiers came in nervously, and saw an adult wearing filial piety clothes standing on the high platform in front of the Taiji Palace, holding a bright yellow will in his hand, and he was already waiting.

That was the queen's will.

The emperor personally conquered and exterminated the thieves and the northwest of the Great Sui, and cleansed the invincible crowd, but the heavens did not die, and His Majesty was seriously ill and returned to the sky. The world cannot be without an owner for a day, and the Great Sui cannot be without an emperor for a day, so after urgent deliberation between the queen mother and the auxiliary ministers, the crown prince Yang Chengqian immediately succeeded to the throne and ascended the throne.

The ministers in the audience were all stunned, and they didn't know who howled and cried first, followed by a voice of pathos, overwhelming. Whether it was true or not, dozens of ministers cried and fainted in front of the Taiji Hall that day, and hundreds of crying people couldn't stand up when they had no strength to stand up, or the imperial guards helped them up one by one. Whether it was rubbing or crying, in short, the eyes and nose were all red.

The crown prince Yang Chengqian, who was only ten years old, became the new supreme of the Great Sui, and the child who put on the dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair still had a blank and fearful face.

The palace maids were busy sewing white cloth on the outside of the court clothes for all the ministers, and for a while, the white flags in the Taiji Palace rose, like a layer of goose feathers and heavy snow falling in summer.

The mourning drum sounded in the imperial city, stunned the hundred miles of Chang'an City.

After the people heard the news of the emperor's death in the northwest, they were all stunned, and no one dared to believe that the emperor in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period died like this? They still vaguely remembered that the emperor was in high spirits when he went out of the city in person, as if it was just yesterday, and did not go far. When the emperor ascended the throne, he waved to the people on the gate tower of Taiji Palace, and he did not go far.

The young are stupid and at a loss, and the old are weeping and bowing to the ground.

The new emperor was young, and the several auxiliary ministers appointed by the emperor before the expedition naturally had to be more in charge, and the enthronement ceremony was carried out first, and then it was discussed who would lead the troops to welcome the emperor's coffin back. Of course, the latter is just for show. At the beginning, the emperor left three people as the heads of the courtiers, one was Pei Yan, the squire of the Yellow Gate, one was the Shangshu Zong Lianghu of the Ministry of War, and the other was Niu Huilun, a university scholar. The generals Xu Xiaogong and Liu Enjing led the army back to Beijing, and the first thing they did was to arrest Pei Yan and copy Pei's family. Therefore, under the appearance of the queen's mother, the auxiliary ministers increased from three to four, two civil and two military.

Niu Huilun, a university scholar, was ordered by the Queen Mother to be a servant, and Zong Lianghu of the Ministry of War was promoted to Nayan. The other two auxiliary ministers, originally the courtiers categorically would not agree to be appointed by military generals, but they were forced by the times to call the shots. Yang Shunhui, the general of the garrison in Chang'an City, was personally appointed by the queen's mother, and the entire capital was guarded by people with troops, and it was still a royal family, so it was a matter of course. The general Xu Xiaogong returned to Beijing for thousands of miles to eradicate the traitors, so he was also among them.

At this time, people noticed that the queen mother, who had always been respected for her gentleness and virtue, turned out to be so decisive. In the years after the emperor succeeded to the throne, the queen never asked about the government affairs of the previous dynasty, and kept the harem in good order. Except for some ceremonies that had to be attended, he rarely showed his head.

However, in the face of such a tricky situation, she handled it very appropriately. Use what should be used, kill what should be killed, without a trace of hesitation.

In the south of the Yangtze River, the gongs and drums of King Yong's promotion to the throne were noisy, the colorful flags were displayed and the firecrackers were sounded in unison, and the soldiers were dressed in red and hung colors. In Chang'an City, the emperor returned to heaven and mourned, the white flag was rolling, the drums and whips were beaten, and the courtiers were dressed in white shirts.

Head of the Yangtze River

The young man surnamed Fang didn't know if he sensed something or because of the topic, he was thoughtful, he first looked at the east and then at the north, then lowered his head and took a sip of wine, the corners of his mouth picked up, and he said inexplicably.

……

……

Fang Xie and others boarded the big boat and went upstream, boarded the army at the confluence of the Yangtze River and Yishui, and then went all the way west into the Huangniu River, and it took at least seven days to walk on the waterway. Then turn south in Guchuan County, Huangyang Road, and walk for about ten days to reach Suzaku Mountain. Before this, Wu Yiyi sent people to send the raised grain and grass to the cottage first, and it was Luo Weiran who was responsible for escorting it.

Since Wu Yiyi chose Fang Jie, it was tantamount to opening a huge door of convenience for Fang Yi. Although the communication between the branches has been broken a lot due to the civil war, and the business is not as good as day by day, Wu Yiyi does not feel distressed at all, this is an inevitable thing, and he is powerless to change it.

Besides, it is the emperor's to go through the world.

Now it's his own. In the past, no matter how huge the cargo pass was in the world, he only managed it, and now he is in charge of breaking the world.

Standing at the bow of the boat, watching the thousands of sails advance together, my heart is also cheerful. The river flows endlessly, as if history were moving forward forever. Fang Xie stood straight against the wind, and suddenly felt the urge to shout. To be honest, when he had just come to this world, Fang Xie never imagined that one day he would play such a big game.

Yes, it's a game.

It's just that not many people in this world are qualified to play.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, and the ultimate fantasy was just buying a lottery ticket to win a jackpot, and in this life, from fleeing to entering the official career and now officially entering the game, Fang Xie took more than ten years to adapt. Until now, in fact, Fang Xie sometimes thinks that when I look back, I still feel that all this is not real, like a dream.

It's as if God threw him here just to wait for today.

Let's be honest

He was delighted

After the initial nervousness and anxiety have dissipated, there is joy. If you change to anyone who comes through here, I am afraid that my heart will be happy. The beauty is in sight, if you are not high-spirited, how can you be worthy of all this in front of you?

"What are you thinking?"

Wu Yi walked up to him and asked with a smile after standing still.

"What do you want to do tomorrow?"

Fang Xie replied.

Wu Yi nodded: "It's right to think about tomorrow, don't always think about yesterday or even think too much about today, thinking too much about yesterday is proof that you have begun to age." If you think too much today, you will suffer from gains and losses. Only by thinking more about tomorrow will we go more and more smoothly. ”

"Hou Ye"

Fang Xie glanced at Wu Yiyi and said seriously, "I want to laugh." ”

"Hahahaha!"

Wu Yiyi laughed first, very freely: "Why don't you smile and pretend to be deep when you are young and proud?" It's uncomfortable, laugh, why don't you laugh? ”

Fang Xie also laughed.

Two people stood side by side in the bow of the boat, riding the wind and waves.

……

……

After passing North Shaanxi Province, it enters the Central Plains boundary in a narrow sense, and after crossing North Shaanxi Road, it enters Gangbuk Province horizontally for 1,600 li, and then crosses 600 li diagonally to the north to enter Gyeonggi Province.

Hedong Road is still mountainous, and entering North Shaanxi Road is a plateau, but there is no shortage of rain here, so the people are quite rich. Northern Shaanxi is rich and rich, and the customs here are slightly different from those in the Central Plains, because there are too many businessmen, so the concept of hierarchy such as Shinong Industry and Commerce is relatively vague.

Therefore, it is common to see privately built large-scale manors in beautiful places, in fact, it seems more appropriate to call them fortresses. Generally, it is built on a high slope according to the topography, and the courtyard wall is built as tall and strong as the city wall, and there are many private soldiers to protect the courtyard.

Such a fortress may not be easily breached even if it is besieged by thousands of men and horses.

On the official road, more than 200 knights riding freshly clothed angry horses escorted a carriage along the official road, and there were no signs on the carriage. Although these knights did not wear armor, as long as they were cultivators, they could see at a glance that they were all good at cultivation.

The driver was an old man who looked to be about fifty years old, with a very white complexion, the kind of white that has not seen the light of day all year round, as if he had put on a thick layer of **. He sat on the slightly bumpy carriage, his body rising and falling with the carriage, and it was so harmonious that it was as if he were a part of the carriage, so that no amount of jolting had any effect on him.

From time to time, he turned back to talk to the people in the carriage, but the people in the carriage rarely responded.

"Your Majesty......"

The old man who drove the car waved his whip and said: "If Your Majesty feels depressed, open the window, the scenery of this northern Shaanxi Province is not bad, you have been traveling for so many days, if you are unwell, tell the slave maid, and the slave will stop and help you down and walk around." ”

"Not necessarily"

A short and low answer came from the carriage: "I won't be in Chang'an City...... Ahem...... No need to stop! ”

The people in the carriage spoke with a coughing sound, which was very violent.

The old man who was driving the car frowned, and his eyes were full of worry.
