At this moment, the sky suddenly drifted with hazy snow, and a little, a thread, and a piece of scattered snowflakes fell from the head, adding a scenery to this flat and far-reaching official road.
The two of them galloped in the snow.
Sun Yueling's riding skills have been exercised, and he has gradually mastered the essentials of horse riding, and he will no longer be shaken like at the beginning, but with the rise and fall of the horses under him, he will maintain the same inertia with the horses, and easily hold the reins in his hands and gallop forward.
This night, they rested at the Ningyuan Middle Queen's house, because of Qi Liao's status as a brocade guard, all the guards and post stations along the way gave food supplies and the benefits of changing horses, so they didn't encounter any trouble along the way.
In the guard, thinking of the adventurous behavior in Ningyuan City, Sun Yueling had palpitations, and couldn't help but ask Qi Liao, and said: "Who is that Fang Yichen, why is he so powerful, I think his kung fu will only be above the Yuan Protector in the mountain city?" ”
"Really?" Qi Liao's face was solemn after hearing this, and he said, "Lord Xiong said that this Fang Yichen was originally a member of the military department, and now he is the branch master of the South Hall of the Caring Hall. ”
"Concern?" Sun Yueling remembered that Yuan Hongdao had talked about it before, and it seemed that he had also said that the head hall master of the Concern Hall was a master of both internal and external cultivation, and said, "What kind of organization is this?" ”
Qi Liao said slowly: "The Caring Hall is the first hall meeting of the Jingshi, which was founded in the later period of the Divine Sect. When Gu Xiancheng, Zhao Nanxing and others were serving in the DPRK and China, they took the "national case" as the origin, and through the "Jingcha, Recommending the Pavilion" and other things, they were inseparable from the Wanli Tianzi. Shenzong was furious and issued an order to expel Gu Xiancheng, Gao Panlong and other Donglin Party members. At that time, although Gu Xiancheng, Gao Panlong and others left the court, they still opened Donglin Academy in Wuxi, discussing the government and criticizing the current situation. ”
Speaking of this, he took a sip of wine and continued: "Although Gu Xiancheng retreated to Jiangnan, there was still a group of people who had a good relationship with him and did not leave Jingshi, but stayed in Jingshi to continue to promote Donglin's political views and explain state affairs, and established the so-called "Care Hall" to sing and harmonize with Donglin Academy in Wuxi. And this Fang Yichen is likely to be the follower of Gu Xiancheng left in Beijing back then. ”
After Sun Yueling heard this, he suddenly realized that this care hall was an organization developed by relying on the Donglin party. As for the Donglin Party, he had heard of it in later generations, and as far as he knew, many Donglin gentlemen were actually representatives of the bourgeois merchant eunuchs, holding a lot of resources and power in their hands.
I vaguely remembered that the Lin Party and the Eunuch Party in the Eastern Lin Party of the Apocalypse Dynasty were incompatible, and asked: "So is it the Donglin Party that is in power in the DPRK now?" ”
Qi Liao sneered and said: "Since the Donglin Party successfully supported the succession of Guangzong, they have regained power again, and the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties have pursued and fought fiercely, and now the six departments of the cabinet are mostly controlled by the Donglin Party, and they are actually known as the 'Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty'......" and snorted coldly, and said, "If you want to say that the one who is in power now is of course today, even if the Donglin Party people are strong, how can they exclude the ministers and ignore the Son of Heaven?" He seemed to be indignant at the Donglin Party.
Sun Yueling suddenly remembered the Smelling Fragrance Club again, and said, "Is the Smelling Fragrance Club very powerful in Beijing?" ”
Qi Liao threw the wine jug to him and said, "I don't know if the power is big or not, the incense smelling club you mentioned has been operating in Jingshi for many years, but these people are low-key and unpredictable, and they are never as flamboyant as the care hall, so we Jinyiwei don't know much about their situation." However, it is said that smelling incense will collude with the forces in the palace, but we can't get the handle in our hands......"
He knew that Sun Yueling went to Beijing this time to seize the beauty from the hands of the Smelling Fragrance Society, so he said what he knew without concealing it.
"Oh!" Sun Yueling secretly felt worried, it seems that smelling incense will not be a good stubble, he went to Beijing to save the United States this time, I am afraid it will be difficult and not easy.
In the early morning of the next day, the two of them braved the light snow and headed all the way to Shanhaiguan. After passing through several post houses such as Shahe Station and Qiantun Guard, after resting for one night at the Zhongqian Station, I finally came to the towering and majestic Shanhaiguan City after passing through Balipu.
At this time, the Shanhaiguan City Tower has been covered by a vast snow powder, in the white sky, this piece of ancient fortress community in front of the mountains and seas, with dozens of miles, deeply shocked Sun Yueling. But seeing the towering city walls and the towers, majestic and magnificent, even when the snow powder is piling up, people can also feel the solemnity and heaviness of the entire battle fortress group.
In the distance, the city wall of Shanhaiguan leans on the remaining veins of Yanshan in the north, and enters the end of the Bohai Sea in the south, like a giant long dragon falling from the sky, firmly stuck in the mouthpiece of Liaodong from the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty Jingji, dividing the entire rich life of the pass and the smoke-filled pass into two completely different worlds.
"This is the first pass in the world - Shanhaiguan!" Qi Liao couldn't help but be shocked by the scene in front of him, and said this sentence vigorously.
Sun Yueling's heart was touched, this is the second time he has come to this majestic Shanhaiguan Tower, remember that in his previous life, although it was also magnificent, but it was far from being so imposing and shocking in front of him - the Guanlou he saw in his previous life had been destroyed a lot, and even the East and West Luo City on both sides of the main city, the north and south wings of the city had long been left and no longer existed.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of a poem he wrote in his previous life, and slowly recited: "Where is the frost in winter, the sword dance is in spring and autumn, and the dragon and snake are walked." It can be a thousand months in Linguan Mountain, and it is difficult to wade in Liaodong for thousands of miles. Suddenly, he remembered that the city of Dugong was frightened, and he even more pity Shuai Island cough. There is no fear of the world, and the natural arrogance has been broken. ”
Qi Liao heard him chanting and praised: "Good poem." The elder brother is worthy of being a Jiangnan scholar, and it is a good sentence to chant casually. After a pause, he said, "However, this poem seems to be a little desolate and melancholy, and not proud enough." What does it mean to be the governor and abandon the handsome in your poem, I don't understand it! ”
Sun Yueling was speechless for a while, thinking that this poem was when he climbed the Shanhaiguan Tower, remembering Yuan Chonghuan who retreated from the enemy in Ningyuan and Mao Wenlong who opened the town of Phi Island, and sighed in his heart that the two were both important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but they could not be compatible with each other before writing this poem, but now how to explain it to Qi Liao?
Immediately explained indiscriminately: "Hmm...... This governor refers to Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, and I think he is worried about state affairs, so he must be very sad in his heart; And abandon the handsome...... Referring to Mao Wenlong Mao Junmen, who was fighting hard against the Jurchens in the Liaonan Islands, I think he went deep into the bitter cold behind enemy lines, and lacked weapons and food, I'm afraid he was also very unhappy in his heart......"
Qi Liao sighed when he heard this, and said: "What my brother said is right, Mao Junmen and Dongjiang Army are indeed bitter." ”
When Sun Yueling saw him say this, his heart suddenly relaxed.
Under Qi Liao's report, the two successfully passed the customs, set foot on the land of Jingji, and marched to Beijing along the wide official road.
The opulence and prosperity of the Sekinai are in great contrast to the scene of the Seki Outer Guards and the continuous castles. Since the two of them passed Yongping and Kaiping, this busy scene has been rendered to the extreme.
Along the way, I saw merchants, people, tourists, scholars, monks, etc. coming and going, even on the wide road, Qi Liao and Sun Yueling did not dare to let the horses run wildly, but kept the horses moving forward at a uniform speed.
Although it was a cold and windy winter, these people seemed to be in high spirits, and they did not feel the heavy burden and the pressure of war outside the customs at all.
When the two came to the North Canal ferry, they saw that the canal was full of ships from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and Hejian, and these merchant ships from the south to the north crowded the entire canal, which looked noisy and noisy under the early sun of light snow.
At this time, I had to dismount and line up with those vendors and people to cross the river.
Qi Liao didn't want to use the identity of Jinyiwei to forcibly grab the position and board the ship, after all, it was just a last resort in a hurry, and now that Beijing was in sight, the two of them were even more leisurely, not in a hurry at all, and enjoyed what they saw and heard on this journey of thousands of miles.
