Originally, it took about 20 days to travel from Anlu to the capital, but there was such a fuss in Weihui in the middle, and it was inevitable that the trip would be delayed for a few days. But later, Zhao Jiuxiong gave an order, and all the children of the Cao Gang came to open the way for the dragon boats, and even the southern grain transported from the north had to be released first, and the boats traveled fast on the inland river, and they actually entered Beizhili two days earlier than expected.

That is, after the brigade entered the territory of Beizhili, in the direction of the Beijing Division, the edict urging the car to drive quickly was transmitted. The one who came to deliver the decree was Zhang Yong, the eunuch who was tied with Gu Dayong at the beginning of the Eight Tigers, and this person dared to beat him with his fists when Liu Jin was in the limelight, and he could be regarded as a luxury figure among the eunuchs.

He had a good relationship with Yang Tinghe and other civil officials of foreign dynasties, and after Zhengde's death, he did not suffer too many blows. But even so, his status is far less than it was at the beginning, and even the matter of passing the decree has been handed over to him.

Although there is a saying among the people that filial piety is kept for three years, the actual time of keeping the system is also twenty-seven months. Whether it is the death of the king or the filial piety of the king, Zhu Houxi should keep his filial piety for a long time before he can start to ascend the throne. However, the throne should not be empty for a long time, and the future affairs of Emperor Zhengde are not easy to delay. "From Anlu to here, the time is enough for filial piety, and you can go out of the funeral and handle the funeral.

However, the heir has not arrived, the minister cannot be disobeyed, and the funeral cannot be held, so it is no wonder that Kyori is so anxiously urging. After passing the decree, Zhang Yong found Gu Dayong and asked about Xinjun's personality, habits and other news. When he came this time, he was also responsible for listening to the news, and Yang Tinghe was still waiting for further information from Xinjun.

Gu Dayong shook his head and said, "This new gentleman is not easy to say. In my opinion, brother, it's a bit willful. After all, he is a young man, his heart is uncertain, and he let me eat a closed door in Anlu, and on the road, he can go when he wants, stop when he wants, and do whatever he wants. Such an emperor means that he is still a child, there is no city, such a person is not difficult to fight, but the life of our brothers is sad. ”

The theory of the Eight Tigers is a theory seconded by outsiders, but in fact, the relationship between these people is not very good. On the contrary, the trees are falling and scattering now, so that Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong have the same disease, but they are really close.

"Lao Gu, our brothers are called the Eight Tigers, but there are not many left. Lao Qiu, Lao Wei, they are all like rabbits, and they don't follow the roots. But in my opinion, this kind of thinking is meaningless. What are we? It's a minion! As long as the master is not happy, he can kill us with a word. Therefore, all fame and wealth are empty, and if you want to take it, you can take it at any time. Over the years, we have eaten, drunk and enjoyed, and we have lived a lot of good lives, even if it really collapsed, it was not in vain. You, don't think too much, take a step, say a step. ”

After the team received the order, the speed of action accelerated, but there were too many people and horses, and they couldn't speed up it. After a few more days, Fang entered the ground of Liangxiang. It is 60 miles away from the capital, and it is the gate of the south of Beijing, which is an important wharf. Officials from Huguang, Shaanxi, Gansu, Henan, and other places all pass through this place when they enter Beijing to rest and recuperate.

Long live the big line, which means that there will be a big change in officialdom, and there will be more people who enter Beijing to run hats or keep official positions. In almost every inn, there were a few court officials who came to listen to the wind or make some joints.

When Zhu Houxi and his entourage arrived here, they had to be stationed temporarily, and then waited for the officials of the Beijing Division of Rites to officially welcome the heir to Beijing and begin to handle the matter of ascending the throne and succeeding to the throne. In the post station, it was already full of people wearing scarlet robes. Looking at the supplementary service, the minimum is also a fourth-grade life officer, a seven-grade petty official like Liangxiang Zhixian County, who has no qualifications to stand here, so he can only take the county official to kneel outside the pavilion to greet him.

After entering the pavilion, these officials came to pay homage one by one, and then handed over their name stickers. Long live the fire in Weihui, everyone already knows, from the public, these people are here to say hello. But after the normal praise, these people will do everything possible to find a way to hand in their resumes and let Banzai remember their names.

Even if it is an emperor, he has to talk about a courtesy exchange, and he can't treat the ministers who take the initiative to brush up on his favor. Among these ministers, I am afraid that there is only one in ten thousand who can enter the eyes of the new monarch, but what should be done on the scene is always done, and the qualified officials can still say a few words to the heir and conduct some etiquette negotiations.

After the lower-ranking courtiers praised and worshipped, they had to stand in the courtyard, and then look for a relationship to send their resumes, and those children of the family who followed Zhu Houxi into Beijing took advantage of this moment to come over and sell themselves to these officials. They would report their own family and the names of relatives in the family who were traveling abroad, and look for any possible connections with these officials.

As long as everyone can find an entry point, then they will send a greeting sticker, and some lucky people will be accepted as protégés by a certain minister, and they will talk about the rites of teachers and students on the spot. Those who followed into Beijing had no ability to study, and there would be no future for them to take the right path of the imperial examination. For a while, the atmosphere in the courtyard was warm, and everyone was happy.

Guo Xun took this opportunity to invite Yang Chengzu to a remote house in the pavilion. This is not the main house, but the house where the post man rests, and there are so many people here at the moment, if it is not a marquis, he is not qualified to get a house. He was burned in Weihui Mansion and his beard was damaged, and his injuries were not light, but he didn't get any reward, and he didn't have a chance to get close to Xinjun in the past few days, so he finally took advantage of this moment to pull Yang Chengzu here.

He neatly took out a stack of paper from his sleeve and sent it to Yang Chengzu, "Yang Yizheng, we are old acquaintances, and we are all military generals, so we don't learn from those civil officials going around in circles." Don't say much politely, the house in Beijing is expensive, and some people do business in other places and think they have money, but when they arrive in Beijing, they find that they can't even afford a toilet. You are a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and your future is limitless, and your official residence cannot be too cold. You have a big business in Anlu's family, and you don't care about a little money, but the cost of picking up a master in Beijing is also large, and the province is provincial. Old and talented, there are some industries in Beijing, this house is on Dengshikou Street, and the size is also counted. But I don't live there, and I don't bother to send someone to clean it, if no one lives in it, this house will be deserted, if my brother doesn't dislike it, just accept it. ”

Yang Chengzu smiled and shook his head, "Chitose, what are you doing?" You are my savior, if you want to say that you want to send something, it should be my filial piety to Chitose, how can you receive a Chitose gift? ”

"Receiving gifts? You are mistaken, this is about money. You see, there are also leases for three shops in Kyori, which were sold to you at the same time. These stores have been losing money, and Ben Hou has no heart to take care of them, so you take over, which just saves me money. And this house, you can handle it for me, you pay me a tael of silver, and these things will be yours. ”

Yang Chengzu took out a tael of silver, and the two solemnly inspected the silver and handed over the contract, making it seem as if it was really a fair business and not a transaction. When Yang Chengzu walked out, Guo Xun breathed a sigh of relief, "This relationship is finally on, and it should be better in the future." ”

In order not to make people suspect anything, he deliberately walked out of the room after a while, and as soon as he left the door, a young young man rushed up and shouted, "Dad! I heard that you were injured in Weihui? Let me see where the injury is, whether it is serious or not, my mother is crying urgently, I have finished reading, so I can go back and tell my mother. ”
