The main city of Gansu Weiwuguan!

Let's say that after Jin Zibo went to Kunlun Mountain to report the situation of the imperial capital to Wang Mang that day, half a month later, he came to the main city of Weiwuguan in Gansu under the escort of the elite masters of the Murong family.

When he came to the City Lord's Mansion, Jin Zibo didn't have time to be polite with those guards, took out the token to show his identity, and said straight to the point: "I am here to ask to see the city lord Ji Rong'er by His Majesty's holy decree, and you should quickly go to pass on Ji Rong'er to receive the order." ”

"Ji Rong'er?"

The guards looked suspicious, looking left and right, very incomprehensible to Jin Zibo's words.

If they hadn't seen Jin Zibo holding the token, maybe they would have blasted Jin Zibo out.

"Lord Kim, are you mistaken? Since His Majesty left Gansu and went to the imperial capital, the position of the city lord here has always been held by Lord Yan Shan, and we have never heard that the city lord is Ji Rong'er. Besides, the lord of a city, where can there be a woman to serve as the reason? Song Zhe, the leader of the guards, said: "Since Lord Yan Shan served as the city lord, I have always adhered to the safety of the city lord's mansion. ”

"Yan Shan?" Jin Zibo said: "Your Majesty personally told me that the city lord is Ji Rong'er, and you deny this now, don't you say that Your Majesty made a mistake?" ”

"The subordinates don't dare." Song Zhe hurriedly admitted his mistake.

"Huh, don't you dare?" Jin Zibo snorted coldly, "This official has a heavy responsibility, and he can't delay, you call Yan Shan as soon as possible, and wait for me to confirm this matter with him." ”

"Yes, Lord Kim, my subordinates will do it." Song Zheru was amnestied, and hurriedly went to ask Yan Shan to come out to meet.

The rest of the guards didn't know what to do, so they had to serve on the sidelines, not daring to speak rashly.

After a while, Yan Shan, the city lord in Song Zhe's mouth, came to the hall.

Jin Zibo said: "Lord Yan, I rushed to meet the city lord Ji Rong'er for eight hundred miles according to His Majesty's holy order. But your guards said that you were the lord of the city, what is going on? Could it be that Your Majesty made a mistake? ”

Yan Shan replied: "Lord Jin doesn't know, the city lord is indeed Ji Rong'er, but Ji Rong'er is a woman, so it's not very convenient to do things." Therefore, Ji Rong'er has been presiding over major events behind the scenes, and I am just an assistant. ”

"I see, I will say how could Your Majesty be mistaken. You hurry up and call Ji Rong'er, I have something important to discuss with her. "Kaneko Bodo.

Yan Shan shook his head and said: "Ji Rong'er has never lived in the City Lord's Mansion, and the adults have urgent matters to discuss with him, but it is more convenient to go to the Yichun Courtyard in the west of the city to find her, saving a waste of time in going back and forth." ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then Master Lao Yan will lead the way."

"Lord Kim is polite."

Yan Shan saw that Jin Zibo's face was anxious, and he didn't dare to say anything, for fear of delaying time, so after briefly explaining the situation, he hurriedly led Jin Zibo and the Murong family masters in the direction of Yichun Courtyard in the west of the city.

On the way, Jin Zibo asked, "Ji Rong'er doesn't live in the City Lord's Mansion, can she handle government affairs in a timely manner?" ”

"That's fine." Yan Shan explained: "The Yichun Courtyard opened by Ji Rong'er is all over Gansu, not to mention a single mighty pass, even if it is the whole of Gansu, she knows everything about it. Therefore, whether she stays in the City Lord's Mansion or not has little impact on handling government affairs. Besides, she doesn't have an obvious identity, and she is not suitable to stay in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time, so as not to gossip. ”

"I see." Jin Zibo nodded and said, "According to what you say, she, the city lord, is the only one in Kyushu?" ”

"Almost, Your Majesty originally wanted her to serve as the assassin, but she refused. In His Majesty's words, in addition to her extremely strong abilities, her Yichun Yuan spies are also all over Gansu, and she is the most suitable to manage Gansu. It's just that she doesn't want to be a thorn and thinks it will be too tiring. His Majesty couldn't, so he had to let her be a city lord and assist the assassin Shi in managing Gansu by the way. ”

Between the two talking, more than 20 minutes had passed, and the group also came to Yichun Courtyard in the west of the city.

The maidservant who was in charge of greeting the guests outside the gate of Yichun Courtyard said, "Meet the city lord, I don't know what the city lord is here for?" ”

"This official is talking to your shopkeeper Miss Ji again, you can lead me to see her." Yanshan Road.

"Yes, Lord of the Castle." The maidservant answered and led everyone towards the house where Ji Rong'er was.

After a while, everyone came to a private room and saw a young woman in her prime, this young woman was Ji Rong'er.

The maidservant said to the young woman: "Qi Yu is in charge, the city lord Lord Yan has something to discuss with you. ”

Ji Rong'er glanced at everyone, and was slightly surprised in her heart, not knowing what Yan Shan had come to find her. As for Jin Zibo and the others, she didn't know any of them.

"Lord Yan, what are you looking for me? Who are those people next to you? ”

Yan Shan couldn't answer, he coughed a few times and glanced at Ji Rong'er.

Ji Rong'er understood and let some idlers and others quit the private room.

At this time, Jin Zibo said: "Lord Yan, you can also wait outside the door for the time being, I have something important to discuss with Ji Rong'er, and I can't pass it on to the outside ear." ”

"Yes, Lord Kim." Yan Shan retreated.

After all the outsiders had left the private room, Jin Zibo said to Ji Rong'er: "City Lord, under Jin Zibo, I rushed from Kunlun Mountain, the headquarters of the Ji family, to hurry up eight hundred miles from the Ji family's headquarters, and continue to help the city lord handle something." ”

"Jin Zibo? Eight hundred miles from the headquarters of the Ji family in Kunlun Mountain, I hurried here, and you actually know that I am the city lord? ”

Ji Rong'er said: "It's definitely not a trivial matter for Your Majesty to ask you to come to me, could it be that it is to transfer troops to attack the Juli Kingdom?" In that case, he should have asked you to find Thorn Shi. However, I don't have too many generals in Gansu to transfer, if he has this intention, I'm afraid you will run for nothing this time. ”

"Not really." Jin Zibo said solemnly: "I think Miss Ji also knows that there has been a drastic change in the imperial capital, and many ministers have joined forces with Juli to commit disobedience, imprison Lord Huo Rongsheng of the prison country, and poison the princess and queen. His Majesty was very angry about this matter, and issued an order to demand that it be strictly investigated.

However, His Majesty was in the Qinghai Sea and could not rush to the imperial capital in time to preside over the overall situation, so His Majesty asked me to come to see Miss Ji and ask Miss Ji for help. ”

Ji Rong'er said: "I have only heard some rumors about the imperial capital in the past two days, and I heard that the situation over there is very bad, and even the queen was almost poisoned by thieves." But what is Your Majesty asking you to do to me? ”

Jin Zibo said: "Your Majesty asked me to ask you for two holy decrees, and then I will take them to the imperial capital and present them to the eighth prince, and persuade the eighth prince to rein in the precipice." ”

"I see. The eighth prince was loyal to the Han Dynasty and the royal family. His Majesty seized the Han Dynasty, and the Eighth Prince was resentful of this matter, so he was mixed up with the Juli Kingdom. Now that I think about it, only the handwritten letters of those two can hope to persuade the eighth prince to turn back, lest things get out of control. ”

"I know this, and you wait here for a while, and I will bring the decree." Ji Rong'er expected that the matter was urgent, so she left the private room in a panic and turned around and went to the back hall of Yichun Courtyard.

When she came to the back hall, a middle-aged man happened to meet her, and this middle-aged man was Liu Xin, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Xin said to Ji Rong'er: "Miss Ji, you are in such a hurry, is there anything important?" ”

Ji Rong'er said: "Liu Xin, I have a big matter to discuss with you, is Liu Xin in the south room?" ”

"Here, I just came out of him, and he's writing with his daughter at the moment." Liu Xin replied.

"Okay, then let's go over together." Ji Rong'er said as she walked: "There has been a great change in the imperial capital, your former courtier, the Eighth Prince, united with the Juli Kingdom to rebel, Your Majesty is in a foreign country, and you can't return to the palace to preside over major affairs, so you are specially asked to ask Jin Zibo to ask for help, and ask you and Liu Yin to each write an edict to persuade them to surrender, and Jin Zibo will bring them back to the imperial capital to the Eighth Prince."

Your Majesty expects that if you have the edict of the two of you in hand, you will be at least 50% sure of the matter of persuading the Eighth Prince to turn back, and no matter how bad it is, you will be able to stabilize the Eighth Prince a little. After the situation in the imperial capital has stabilized a little, His Majesty will have enough time to return to the imperial capital to deal with the remaining matters and destroy the invading enemy. ”
