Chapter 185: I'm in Dashang 4
Subsection 1
Along the way, the envoys who traveled west to deliver the decree did not dare to get tired at all, except for the 'convenience' of eating, he was almost on the horse, if he made a mistake, the lives of his whole family would be lost. Even when he entered Qidi, he did not rest, he changed horses all the way, non-stop, and came to the house of Xibohou Jichang within two days and two nights. There were not many guards in Xibo Hou Jichang's house, so he easily broke into the front of Xibo Hou Jichang's door and said loudly:
"Under the king's will, Xibo waits for the order!"
When Xi Bohou heard this, he didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he went out and knelt down in fear to receive the order:
"Minister Xibo Hou Ji Chang, Commander, long live my king!"
"Within the four seas, monsters are rampant, the lives are devastated, the civil and military officials do not know what to do, the four princes of the special edict to the court, the national government, the chaos, the edict to the day, Xibo Hou Jichang immediately to the capital, there must be no mistake, all the way must be light and simple, the state is urgent, the people's hearts are like a mountain, Qin this ......"
After receiving the decree, Xibo bowed his hand to the envoy and asked:
"Your Excellency! I will set off immediately, but please forgive me for a while, wait for the minister to pack up and explain the future! ”
"Please also ask Master Hou, go and come back quickly, the will is here, do not delay."
The envoy took his leave and took a break. At this time, the Xiqi civil and military officials and the prince arrived one after another, and Ji Chang first made a hexagram, and then said to the doctor San Yisheng:
"I have been here for a long time, and there are many disasters, and the political affairs of Xiqi are entrusted to the grandfather and Bo Yi Kao, my son. Although there are many murders and few auspicious things for the father, even if it does not cause damage. You are in Xiqi, and you cannot change the politics of the country. Once the old chapter is followed, the brothers are harmonious, and the kings and ministers are at peace. If you don't have to let your opinions go for yourself, you will be good. Whatever you do, only the old man is a plan, and all the things that have doubts are decided together with the doctors. The people of Xiqi, those who have no wives. give gold and silver and marry; and those who are not married, shall be given gold and silver; Those who are lonely and cold will be given rations that month. Don't be lacking. Remember not to send anyone to pick me up, especially you, no matter what, you are not allowed to enter the capital. Don't forget! ”
Bo Yi Kao listened to his father's words. Immediately knelt down and said impassionedly:
"Father, since this trip is so dangerous, the son is going to be, and the father can't go in person."
Ji Chang smiled slightly and said:
"Wu'er! If a gentleman knows the difficulty, how can he not know how to avoid it, but the world has its own certainty. There is a cause and there must be an effect, and there is no escape. You and your brothers must concentrate on keeping your father's word, that is, great filial piety. ”
Ji Chang didn't say much, went back to the room and asked his wife to pack up, and he went to see his old mother.
After Xibo Hou Ji Chang bid farewell to his mother, he immediately set off with the envoy and went to the capital, where the doctor Sanyisheng, the general Nangong, the prince Boyi Kao Jifa and the rest of the sons came to see him off. The people of Xiqi also came one after another, sending each other off. The ten-mile long street was full of people. When the envoy saw such a scene, he admired Ji Chang in his heart. The hundred officials and the prince did not stop until outside the city, and the monarchs and ministers held the wine of practice, and Xibo Hou Ji Chang drank a cup, and said with the ministers:
"Say goodbye to you today, and I hope that you will work with one heart and one mind to ensure that my Xiqi is smooth and rainy."
The ministers saluted with tears, and Ji Chang grabbed Bo Yikao's hands again and said:
"Wu'er! As long as your brothers are harmonious, I will not have to worry about it, and remember to tell my father. ”
After saying that, Xibo waited for Ji Chang to get on his horse, and hurried away, no matter how his young son shouted, how his subjects suffered, he did not look back......
Subsection 2
He waited for a long time to saddle his horse and rested only in the middle of the night, and the envoy did not rush too much because of his old age and great respect for him. After passing Qishan, the envoy arranged for the fast horse to report first, and he accompanied Xibo to wait for an inch. On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and under a high mountain, Xibo Hou Jichang immediately called his attendants to come to him, and said:
"Go to the front to see if there are cottages, bamboo houses, caves, shelter from the rain? There will be heavy rain just a few days away. ”
Several members of the entourage immediately set out to look for them. When the envoy saw that the sky was clear, he smiled and said:
"Xibohou is too worried, this blue sky is clear, the sky is cloudless, where does the rain come from? Let's keep going......"
Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden explosion of thunder in the sky, which frightened the hearts of the people, and the horse neighed, only to see the black clouds gradually rising, and the envoy was panicked and surprised, and immediately ordered the left and right to find a place to shelter from the rain, and the group just avoided the cave. The rain was pouring down, and the wind carried the heavy raindrops to the entrance of the cave, and since the cave was very small, some of their attendants stood in front of the entrance, and they did not want their great sage Xibohou to be caught in the rain.
Xibo Hou Ji Chang made a hexagram in the cave, pinched his fingers, and looked up at the sky from time to time, looking out from the heavy rain, only to see the heavy rain pouring, and he couldn't see how far at all, but Xibo Hou Ji Chang's sharp eyes could penetrate this qiē.
"Attention, everyone, the thunder is coming?"
Although Ji Chang said to everyone very formally and strictly, these people are no strangers to thunder and lightning, and they will not be afraid.
"Don't worry, Master Hou, we ......"
Before the words were finished, a very strong flash, everyone only felt a flash in front of them, and then felt that the eyes were dark, and then an earth-shattering thunder resounded in the sky, this thunder seemed to be able to shake the mountains and rivers, collapse the mountains and rivers, everyone was shocked, became blind, they were tightly huddled together, the envoy was also shocked, almost peed his pants. Asked in fear:
"This ...... This is...... What's the matter, Master Hou, is it heavenly...... Sky...... Collapsed ......"
"Hehehe, don't worry, it's just a happy rain that solves the drought here, and besides, there are even happier things happening."
After a while, the sky gradually cleared, and everyone walked out, feeling the indescribable warmth of the sun, and the frightened heart was a lot more comfortable at the moment. Ji Chang stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, and said:
"Hear, there is the cry of a baby ahead, and go and find him."
Everyone was amazed, and the envoy secretly said in his heart:
Where is the cry of a baby, isn't Xibo Hou Ji Changmo deafened by the thunder?
Xibohou's entourage immediately followed the direction of their fingers, and through the dense trees, in front of a grave, a two- or three-year-old child was crying, and they quickly picked up the child and sent him to Xibohou's place. When Ji Chang saw the child, he was overjoyed, and thought:
I should have a hundred sons, but now I only have ninety-nine sons, and this child has come at the sign of my hundred sons, and it is a beautiful thing. "Fate: "This previous hexagram, but this child will only be ten years old in a few years, how can he save me from danger?" ”
At this time, I saw a middle-aged Taoist with a majestic appearance, floating out, and said to Xi Bohou
"The gentleman and the poor road are polite, in the lower cloud tour of the cultivation to this point, see the green smoke here, then feel that there are sages, heaven and man here, I also like this child, can you hand over this doll to the poor road as an apprentice, in the future, the child is sensible, and then handed over to the prince?"
Ji Chang hesitated, reluctantly, and thought about it:
What a bumpy trip this trip, if the child follows me, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any accidents, look at this person, it seems that he is also loyal to the liver and courage, so hand it over to him!
Then he said:
"It's okay to bring it, but we will meet in the future, what name will it be?"
"This doll was found by the prince after the thunder and lightning, how about it in the name of Lei Zhen?"
"It's so good, it's going to be like this, it's going to be like this, thunder, thunder! You and I won't see each other until seven years later! (To be continued......)
