Chapter 457: Trouble is coming
After getting away from the checkpoint, Fang Shuwei rode a few steps to catch up with Dong Ce, and smiled curiously: "Celang, when did you become the envoy of the dethroned army?" ”
"I'm not an official, this edict was given to me by Lord Shangshu Lu, the official department. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info," Dong Ce explained.
"Ah, Lu Shangshu doesn't have this power!" Fang Shuwei was surprised.
Dong Ce smiled bitterly, turned his head and smiled at Fang Shuwei, and said, "No, but he has a token." ”
"This ......" Fang Shuwei was stunned for a moment before she was shocked: "Ce Lang, you shouldn't be pretending to be a dethroned envoy!" What if they ask for a holy decree? ”
"I didn't say from beginning to end that I was the dethroned envoy, it was just their own opinion, if I wanted the holy decree, I would say that I was there with the dethroned envoy, what do you think they can do to me?"
Fang Shuwei was silent, she really couldn't laugh or cry about her husband's bold actions, pretending to be a Qin Cha is a big crime of killing her head, although she understands that even if she is exposed, she will definitely be fine with her husband's true identity after being caught and sent to the capital, but this ...... Why bother?
Dong Ce said: "There is nothing more convenient than this order to go through the state. ”
"But it's too conspicuous!" Fang Shuwei was really worried that as soon as she entered Yingzhou, she didn't know how many officials would rush to her.
"Don't worry, I guess, even if Niu Yi sends a message to the government, the government will not dare to make a noise, but secretly come to scold us, this is human nature, you can get benefits without competition, who is not happy?"
"Yes, in the eyes of Celang, the crows in this world are generally black!" Fang Shuwei shook her head with a wry smile.
Yingzhou, with beautiful scenery and picturesque scenery, is not weaker than Ningzhou and Suzhou.
Yingzhou is the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, and it was also the richest place in the world, but unfortunately, this is also the place where Taiping Dao and other sects fought the most fiercely, Dong Ce learned from Jin Songkou that the Shanhe Society was also established in Yingzhou, and it can be said that this is the nest of the Shanhe Society!
However, the Shanhe Society has already been beaten by the Taiping Road, and it has been hidden for ten years, and now the Taiping Road has been beaten by Dong Ce, and the Shanhe Society will inevitably take advantage of the situation to rise, so this civil strife in Yingzhou, Dong Ce guessed that it should not be as simple as eliminating the Taiping Road, which involved more, and also led to the fact that the economy of Yingzhou only retreated, and the Fang City system was not canceled, so it was naturally left far behind by Jiangdong.
Recently, Jiangdong has developed too fast, and the land is either used to grow mulberry and tea, or to build workshops, resulting in the scarcity of rice and grain, and grain merchants have no choice but to go to the former Jingzhou land to buy grain, which is equivalent to taking care of the former big brother in turn! It's really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.
All the way to a small town on the north bank of the river, this town is really not big, but there is a thick city wall, and it is a standard square city, there are only four squares in the city, a large square occupies half, the rest is one middle and two small, the population of the town is less than three thousand, most of them live in small and medium-sized squares, and the large square is all granary, so this town is also called the big warehouse, it is built by Ning Taizu to attack with the enemy army that has been defrauded.
The army of the previous dynasty went south, divided the troops, and wanted to encircle Ning Taizu, and Ning Taizu built this city early, lying that all the grain and grass were piled up in it, leading all the soldiers and horses to march to this place, as a result, the small city has not been taken for a month, but the grain and grass on their side are in a hurry, helpless, the army can only retreat, but never thought that Ning Taizu led the army to chase and kill, all the way north to Luoyang!
Therefore, this town is of great significance, although it was dilapidated at that time, but after the war, Ning Taizu still let people rebuild it intact, and gave it a real mission, which is the most granary of Yingzhou.
Dong Ce pulled the reins of the horse, made the carriage stop outside the city, and carried the little skin curled up in his arms and napping into the car, and the other party Shuwei said: "Let's spend the night in this town today, find someone to move the horse and cart to the big ship, and you can directly enter Wuchang Mansion tomorrow morning." ”
Fang Shuwei's temperament naturally would not refuse, so she immediately entered the city first and asked people about the situation of the inn and the dock.
After a period of busy work, Dong Ce had already appeared in an inn wing, and was feeding Xiaohu a pot of raw mutton brought by Xiao Er, and Fang Shuwei, who was wearing a rider's uniform behind him, just pushed the door in, took off his waistcoat, and walked behind the screen, and said in his mouth at the same time: "Ce Lang, when the store family orders someone to bring water later, can you help me bring it in?" ”
"You've taken off your clothes, can I refuse?" Dong Ce smiled bitterly.
Fang Shuwei showed her head from behind the screen, grinned at Dong Ce, and said, "Ce Lang is the best." ”
"Good! Oh, don't be a woman who understands amorous feelings, at this time, when you smile charmingly and invite the mandarin ducks to play in the water, it's you, stupid and not chirping. ”
After Dong Ce finished speaking, Fang Shuwei's little face turned red, and after squeaking for a while, she retracted her head back to most of it, and only showed one forehead and said to Dong Ce: "Do you want to ...... that Ce Lang?"
"No, there's something going on." Dong Ce was just joking, but this made Fang Shuwei feel lost for a while!
Dong Ce is really something, although he left the Beijing Division and didn't want to pay attention to mundane things, but he still wanted to fulfill the Yanjiao Tibetan Scriptures that he had talked about, and integrate his understanding of this world with the experience of later generations, hoping to make Daning more prosperous and stronger, and avoid the tragedy of being bullied to the door!
As long as he keeps writing, he will send it to Yanjiao every time he completes it, so that his disciples can understand that his absence does not mean that he is not there!
At the same time, I also hope to encourage more people not to forget the fundamentals of teaching and learning to save the world when expanding their power.
So this first book, he wanted to complete the hearts of the disciples of the Yan Sect as soon as possible, after all, he left suddenly, causing the dragons to be leaderless, and now I don't know if they can hold on, will the tree fall and scatter?
Late at night, outside the inn where Dong Ce lived, a carriage came in a hurry, and a man on horseback followed closely beside the carriage.
This car is not luxurious, it is very ordinary, but a lantern hung on the car makes the villagers who patrol the night dare not stop it, and as for the man on horseback, no one dares to ask a thing or two, and they have avoided it.
"Is this it?" When the carriage stopped outside the market, the curtains were lifted, but it was pitch black inside, and the faces of the people who spoke could not be seen.
However, after the man on horseback turned over and dismounted, his face was finally illuminated clearly by the lantern at the gate, and it was actually Niu Qian, the captain of the customs who Dong Ce met in Yingzhou in the afternoon.
"Well, I've already inquired, and that lord settled at the Jitong Inn in this place." Niu Yi whispered to the car window.
"Go, let Fang Ling open the door." After the people in the car finished speaking, Niu Yi immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon, a middle-aged man about forty opened the door, and when he saw Niu Yi, he frowned at first, and then saw the lantern of the carriage behind Niu Yi, and immediately stepped out of the door in surprise, quickly came to the car, and bowed his waist and said: "The villain has seen Lord Wang!" ”
"Well, I'll go inside to meet someone, and I'll be accommodating."
As soon as the voice in the car came out, Fang Ling immediately nodded and said, "It's too late for Lord Wang to welcome the villain, I don't know what Lord Wang is looking for?" ”
"Leave that alone."
"Yes, Lord Wang, please!" Fang Ling said that, immediately pushed the door completely open, and stood respectfully to the side to watch the carriage enter the Fang City.
Dong Ce had just finished taking a bath, and before the shopkeeper came to clean up, the store actually visited in person.
"That ......" shopkeeper accompanied him carefully, swallowed his saliva and said: "Childe, there is an adult outside who wants to see you!" ”
"Your Excellency?" Dong Ce frowned slightly, then said to the inner room with a smile: "Wei'er, I'll go back when I go." ”
The shopkeeper respectfully led the way in front, and took Dong Ce to another attic before and after respectfully retreating.
"Humble to meet the deposed envoy!" As soon as the store left, Niu Yi appeared in front of Dong Ce and saluted respectfully.
Dong Ce arched his hand and said lukewarmly: "Niu Duwei came to visit late at night, I don't know what happened?" ”
"It's not that you want to see the deposed envoy, but there are other people, this is not a place to speak, please dethrone the envoy."
Seeing that Niu Yi was cautious, Dong Ce sighed in his heart and walked upstairs.
The attic is a single building, upstairs and downstairs are all doors, Dong Ce doesn't need to look for it, knock on the door and push it open and enter the room.
"Before, Yingzhou Wuchang Mansion ordered Wang Gongzhi, see ......" In the room, the old man was about to salute Dong Ce, but after just subconsciously glancing at it, the old man's whole person froze.
"National teacher? How could it be you? The old man's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Huh? Do you know me? Dong Ce was even more surprised.
"It's a matter of course that the national teacher doesn't know!" The old man smiled, and bowed cautiously, and then said: "The old man heard that the national teacher had established the national security mansion in the central capital, and he was very concerned about it, so he specially went to Beijing to observe, and just happened to see the national teacher arranging the six national security courts to deal with things." ”
"I see." Dong Ce understood as soon as he heard it, after the establishment of the Guoan Mansion, it was indispensable for ministers to come to observe, although this Wang Gongzhi was not an important minister, and he had already resigned, but he was able to enter the Guoan Mansion, obviously he had acquaintances in Beijing, and his status was not low.
"Lao Yu came back from Zhongdu just last month, and I wanted to go to see the national teacher, but I learned that the national teacher was busy because ......of his work on state affairs, how could I be embarrassed to disturb him" Wang Gongzhi said this, suddenly stunned, and said in surprise: "By the way, the national teacher is so busy, how can he come to Yingzhou?" ”
"I am almost done with what I should be busy, and I have rules to teach, so I can't always be in one place, especially after the peace and tranquility are restored here, I will go on the road to study and help the people who are suffering."
After Dong Ce finished blushing without knowing it, Wang Gongzhi blushed with shame, shook his head and smiled: "Although Zhongdu is a disaster because of the peace, it has been dealt with in a timely manner by the imperial court and the national teacher, but it has improved in just a month, and it has become more and more stable since then, and even many public security shortcomings have been properly handled by the National Security Mansion, indeed, Zhongdu is getting better and better!" “
Speaking of this, Wang Gongzhi suddenly changed his words and said: "But the Daning Dynasty is not only Luoyang Mansion!" Yingzhou, now it is in danger, the last time the old man entered Beijing, on the one hand, it was to observe the Guoan Mansion, on the other hand, he also wanted to explain the harm of Yingzhou to the imperial court, but now, the evil way in the north is tenacious, and the disaster is becoming more and more intense, and the court is already lacking in skills, but the hidden danger of Yingzhou really can't break out, otherwise the world will be in chaos! ”
After that, Wang Gongzhi actually bowed deeply to Dong Ce and continued: "The national teacher once led the victims to tide over the difficulties together, built a chamber of commerce to make the country rich and strong, and opened the imperial examination to create national security, all of which reflected the great benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, and power of the national teacher......
Dong Ce really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't hold it, get down to business." ”
