When the sun was not so poisonous, another holy decree came from the palace, or a handwritten edict, written by Zhao Xu himself.

The edict still didn't say what happened in the palace, but told Yang Huairen that the city gate could be opened, but everyone who entered and left the city should be carefully checked.

At the end of the edict, Zhao Xu wrote a sentence that seemed to be written specifically to Yang Huairen, "I have always known that Yang Aiqing is worthy of entrustment."

A simple sentence to express gratitude and trust to Yang Huairen. If you change to someone else, you must bow three times and bow in the direction of the palace to thank the emperor for his grace.

But Yang Huairen frowned, thinking about the deep meaning of this sentence.

According to speculation, if there are signs of something big happening in the palace, Zhao Xu immediately wrote a handwritten edict to Yang Huairen and Yang Shihu, which is naturally his trust in Yang Huairen, and his trust in Yang Shihu also comes from his trust in Yang Huairen to a large extent.

Zhao Xu could think of letting the two of them lead the troops to guard the city gate and prevent the forbidden army from entering the city to cause chaos, which shows that Zhao Xu is thoughtful, and many things, from the cause, to the process, to the consequences, he has thought through everything.

Of course, it is also possible that someone behind him has instructed him, so this Yang Huairen doesn't have to think about it.

What makes Yang Huairen find interesting is that Zhao Xu never called himself "I" in front of him, nor did he ever call him "Yang Aiqing". ”

Since it is so shouted, there may be two situations, first, in formal occasions, in formal documents, it seems more appropriate to call it so.

Second, Yang Huairen feels that the meaning is profound, does it mean that Zhao Xu has now become a veritable emperor and is now in power?

In just half a day, what happened in the palace? No matter how big Yang Huairen's brain is, he really can't think of it.

Maybe a lot of things, he thinks too complicated, maybe a lot of people, he thinks too simple. The struggle for power has always been secretive, and the historians did not dare to record it truthfully, and the people gave these things an attractive name, called "court secrets".

This word is a bit ambiguous, evoking reverie, but it's also appropriate to call it, whether it's the front palace or the harem, the common people have no way of knowing anyway, and when they're bored, they secretly ponder and think it's interesting.

The gates were opened, and the horses were put up, and thirty soldiers were placed inside and outside the gates to check the people who entered and left the gates.

Yang Huairen has never done such a thing, and he doesn't know what the inventory is, and he doesn't know anything about how carefully he wants to check it on a day like today.

So he found a shady corner against the wall to squint for a while, and handed over this kind of thing to Lian Zigeng and Huang Dayin to discuss.

Lian Zigeng and Huang Dayin, it is said that these two people have no personality intersection, but when they started doing things, they unexpectedly cooperated tacitly.

Huang Dayin has been in Huanzhou for more than ten years, and he still has a lot of experience in checking past merchants, especially checking goods, he knows where to hide things in a carriage or truck.

And Lian Zigeng, his specialty lies in looking at people, a pair of eagle-like eyes staring at people fiercely, who are ordinary people, who are high-ranking officials and nobles, who is rich and who is not, who has a ghost in his heart, he can see a rough idea.

It's just that the eyes are too vicious, and it scared several children to cry.

When the people saw the city gate open, they naturally went in and out, although they complained a little about the sudden interrogation, but they also honestly accepted the inspection of the sergeants, for fear that they would be mistaken for the arrested bandits.

Guarding the door and checking the crowd of people seems boring, but it is actually very interesting, and it allows people to look at people from a different perspective.

Ordinary people, who have identity documents, can see clearly where they live, explain what they want to do when they enter or leave the city, and there is nothing to check, so they are directly released.

And bitter haha, the poor people, and some of them are from the surrounding villages out of the city, they have no long things, their clothes are all tattered, and they can see it through at a glance, and there is nothing to check.

And those who are freshly dressed and angry are the focus of the inspection, but those who can wear good clothes and ride tall horses are definitely not ordinary people, and the soldiers always offend people when they check them.

This kind of person also has a characteristic, that is, in order to save trouble, he doesn't care about taking out dozens or hundreds of copper coins for the sergeants who are inspecting, and then with a weird smile on his face, he motions for the soldiers to let them go.

There are also those who have rich money, and give money directly. Lian Zigeng showed that he had seen the world at this time, and directly said that the more money and silver were stuffed, the more carefully they had to check it, and when they gave money, it meant that there was a ghost in their hearts.

So the things that offended people were all done by Lian Zigeng. He was originally an internal guard, he did a lot of things that offended people, and he didn't reveal his identity, he didn't panic when there were many lice, and the dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, anyway, it didn't matter.

Yang Huairen stared at the side for a while, looking at Lian Zigeng's serious appearance and feeling funny. Lian Zigeng's thoughts are normal, and they can't be said to be wrong.

It's just that just because the rich stuff money and silver, it is a bit arbitrary to conclude that people are weak-hearted.

Living on the food and clothing line haha, there is no personal privacy to talk about, you just search him, he will only raise his hand, put on a nonchalant look, let you get up and down.

The rich are different, people give money not necessarily because they are weak-minded, but because they want to protect some of their personal privacy.

For example, a fat old man in his sixties who looks rich and noble, just to hide the little secret that he just bought a few teenage little girls from a village outside the city, and is going to get them home to be concubines.

The soldiers inspected carefully, and their appearance was also fierce, which scared the little girls in the carriage into tears, making it so lively, and the rich old man was also pointed at by other people, making him lose face.

After dusk, the pedestrians became fewer and fewer, and the soldiers had time to take out their own military rations and water bottles, and make do with a meal.

Yang Huairen didn't know if the new military rations on the old general You Shixiong had ever been practical, but today's compressed biscuits were first put into practice in the capital.

I dare not say that this thing tastes delicious, but it has a great effect on replenishing physical strength, and the effect is very fast, and after eating a quarter of an hour, the soldiers who were very tired after standing for a day immediately came to their spirits again.

Until the moment when the city gate was closed, no really suspicious people were found, but a few petty thieves were found, and a few smugglers of salt, in general, they were all small fish and shrimp, and it was good to arrange for someone to send them to Kaifeng Mansion and hand them over to Cai Jing to deal with.
