Chapter 201: Pack into the palace
It's a matter of Qizhou, after all, he is still dragging his family with him, and Xuan Shijing can't delay it here, and he needs to return to Chang'an immediately with these people.
There is a Weishui between Qizhou and Chang'an, Qizhou is upstream, Chang'an is downstream, in order to prevent changes on the way, Xuan Shijing plans to go to Chang'an by boat.
One hundred and dozens of people need to charter a big boat, so Xuan Shijing asked Chang Le to ride a fast horse to the horse's side to arrange it first.
Xuan Shijing and the others walked for a day before arriving at the Weishui Wharf in Qizhou, Chang Le had already made arrangements, and a large ship that was originally used to transport commercial goods suspended the delivery of goods, and was chartered by Chang Le at a high price, and a few small boats.
Li Su and those former ministers who were tied up were placed on the big boat, Xuan Shijing, Jin Yang and Qin Bingyue were also on the big boat, and there were more than a dozen Jinyi guards, and the rest took the small boat behind, along the Weishui, all the way to Chang'an.
It is very safe to sail on inland rivers, except for occasional shaking, so as not to get seasick.
It's just that Qin Bingyue and Jin Yang seem to be a little unbearable.
The two girls' families, they used to take boats in Xuanwu Lake, Taiye Pond and other places, there was no fluctuation on the water surface at all, unlike the river, the hull was still a little shaky.
From Qizhou to Chang'an, Qin Bingyue and Jin Yang were only a handful of people when they left the cabin, and they held back in the room on the ship for a few days, and the food on the ship was coarse, and the faces of the two were even worse.
After this time, it is estimated that they will adapt to it in the future, and by the time they arrived in Chang'an, the state of the two was obviously much better.
It was the end of October when I returned to Chang'an again, and the climate in Chang'an began to gradually get colder.
"It's been a long time since my son came out." Xuan Shijing said with a smile.
"Yes, I've never been away from Chang'an for so long." Jin Yang smiled: "I really miss it." '
"In the past few days since I left, I have been running around with me, and I have suffered you." Xuan Shijing was a little apologetic, originally thinking that going out to play should be a very easy thing, but he didn't expect that a holy decree from His Majesty Li Er made Xuan Shijing exhausted.
"Plans can't keep up with the rapid changes, and it has nothing to do with Brother Jing." Jin Yang said with a smile.
"Let's go, take these people and enter the palace." Xuan Shijing turned his head and looked at Gao Jun Changle behind him, and Qin Bingyue on the other side: "Let's all go together!" ”
"Yes!" The crowd gave up.
I got off the boat at the wharf outside Chang'an City, and it took a long time to see the city wall of Chang'an City, but fortunately, it was only half an hour when I first arrived at the wharf, and I was able to enter the city after walking for about an hour and a half.
Lunch was hastily used on the road, anyway, it has been on the boat for so long, it is not bad for this meal or two, the important thing is to send these people to the palace quickly, and they can also go home and rest for a while.
In these days in Qizhou, everyone's spirits are tense, and finally the matter is done, only this last tremor remains, and you can't slack off.
When these brocade guards returned to the Shenhou Mansion, the first thing they did should be to have a good meal, and then cover their heads and sleep.
Entered Chang'an City from Mingde Gate, entered the Imperial City directly through the Vermilion Gate along the straight and wide Vermilion Bird Avenue, handed over the token, and entered the palace city from Chengtian Gate with a group of brocade guards guarding the prisoners.
Jinyi Wei escorted Li Su and those former Sui ministers towards the Ganlu Palace, if it weren't for the palace guards seeing the Jinyang princess next to Xuan Shijing, they would have thought that this Dongshan Marquis was going to force the palace.
When he came to the door of the Ganlu Palace, Xuan Shijing asked the people behind him to stop, stepped forward himself, and talked to the little yellow door at the entrance of the Ganlu Palace.
"Please also ask this minister to report to Your Majesty, and the Marquis of Dongshan asks to see you."
"Master Hou, wait a minute." The little yellow door gave up, and then entered the Manna Hall.
Not long after, the little yellow door came out and invited Xuan Shijing to enter the Manna Palace, at this time, Jin Yang also stepped forward and smiled at Xuan Shijing: "Let's go in together." ”
"Okay." Xuan Shijing responded.
The two entered the Ganlu Palace, and a group of brocade guards stood in front of the Ganlu Palace, standing straight, surrounding Li Su and a group of prisoners in the center, waiting for His Majesty Li Er's meeting.
"Your Majesty, see Your Majesty."
"Son-in-law, see father."
Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang stood in the manna hall and bowed.
"No courtesy." His Majesty Li Er put down what he was doing and looked up at the two of them: "Son, are you okay playing outside these days?" You're not tired, are you? ”
"Back to my father, my sons have been with Brother Jing these days, and I have seen a lot and gained a lot. Jin Yang said with a smile: "It's true that you can gain more than sitting next to your father and watching those cold folds." ”
Hearing Jin Yang say this, His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "It is better to read ten thousand books than to travel ten thousand miles, although this Ganlu Hall brings together important political affairs in the world, it is just some cold words." After that, His Majesty Li Er looked at Xuan Shijing: "The affairs of Qizhou have all been done?" ”
Xuan Shijing arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, everything has been done, and as expected by the minister, a big fish was caught, and now His Royal Highness the King of Shu and those people are outside the Ganlu Palace, and the minister is in charge of his own affairs, let the Jinyi guard escort him to the palace, and ask His Majesty to surrender." ”
His Majesty Li Er waved his hand: "It's okay." ”
Although His Majesty Li Er said this, Xuan Shijing felt that it would be better for His Majesty Li Er to go out and have a look, it was the one hundred and tenth brocade guard, wouldn't he be suspected of forcing the palace?
"Minister, please move outside the hall." Xuan Shijing arched his hand and said, "Eh...... In order to be precautionary, the minister let the Jinyi guards follow into the palace. ”
His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows, thought about it, and remembered what Xuan Shijing was worried about.
"That's fine, I'll go and see what kind of person is the one who dares to hide behind the King of Shu and run rampant in Qizhou." His Majesty Li Er stood up, straightened his robe, and walked down the steps, followed by Deyi.
Xuan Shijing and Jin Yang also followed outside the Ganlu Palace.
At a glance outside the Ganlu Palace, it did look like there were a lot of people, the outside was the brocade guard, and the inside were the tightly tied prisoners, many of whom were elderly.
"Your Majesty, the prisoners who were tied up in the middle were arrested in the Shu Palace, and they were all former ministers of the former Sui." Xuan Shijing explained.
It's just that His Majesty Li Er's gaze did not look at those former Sui ministers, but at his son, Li Su, the king of Shu, who was standing in the crowd of prisoners.
"Li Su." His Majesty Li Er made a voice expressionlessly, but this voice was cold and biting in the ears that should have been heard.
"The son is here." Li Su pushed away the brocade guard, stepped forward, and bowed his hand.
