Chapter 150: Detour (Three Watches)
Waiting for the sturdy Qianhu to leave, Niu Lao Wu hurriedly opened the money bag, and his face was immediately happy, in addition to a dozen taels of silver, there were two silver tickets of fifty taels, which was enough for him to live happily in Datong City for a while. Watch the latest chapter of Perfect World, and look at it quickly.
"Brother Zhou, we've been tired for a few days, let's go out and have fun." After putting the money bag, Niu Lao Wu saw Li Yuntian standing there, and comforted him with a smile, "Now that the formalities are complete, even if there is a problem with those official documents, it has nothing to do with us." ”
Li Yuntian came back to his senses when he heard this, smiled at Niu Lao Wu absentmindedly, got up and followed him out of the post house, and went to a ** to drink flower wine.
Because of the heavy responsibility, where did Li Yuntian have the heart to drink, he used water instead of wine on the grounds that he was not strong enough to drink, Niu Lao Wu didn't mind, and he was eating tofu with his hands up and down with two ** girls in his arms, if it wasn't for this windfall, where would he come to such a high-end place for recreation.
There was a young woman dressed up next to Li Yuntian, and seeing that Li Yuntian was handsome and burly, she drilled into his arms one by one, doing her best.
It's a pity that Li Yuntian is worried now, and her temptations are all in vain, besides, he has a beautiful concubine like a flower, how can he look at the young woman next to him.
After drinking for a while, Niu Lao Wuhou hurriedly hugged the two women around him to the room and went to be happy, and the young woman next to Li Yuntian couldn't help but look like silk when she saw this, and pestered Li Yuntian like gummy.
Li Yuntian was annoyed, and gave the young woman two ingots and five taels of silver from the money bag to let her leave.
The young woman walked away with the two silver ingots with a disappointed face, wondering if Li Yuntian's physiology was a little abnormal, or if he had a habit of breaking his sleeves, where would she have thought that the young man in front of her would control the belonging of the Daming Dynasty.
"No, we have to get out of here!" After pondering for a long time, Li Yuntian slammed his fist on the table, and whispered expressionlessly, no matter what, he would send the edict to the capital and hand it over to the prince, otherwise the capital would definitely set off a bloody storm.
But how do you get out of Datong? How do you go south after leaving Datong? This made Li Yuntian can't help but have a headache, he only has the investigation of the imperial court, and there is no guide for ordinary people, once he is found out by the checkpoints on the road, he will definitely be caught.
After thinking about it, Li Yuntian felt that the only way to do this was to take a detour, and he was sure that the road from Datong Mansion to the capital had been strictly guarded, so he had to take another road to avoid the interrogation on the way, but in this way, he would need to waste a lot of time.
But this is the only way for now, only then can he bypass the checkpoints on the road, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch.
The capital is in the southeast of Datong Mansion, and after careful consideration, Li Yuntian plans to go to Taiyuan Mansion just south of Datong Mansion, and then go to Cangzhou in Hebei Province via Taiyuan Mansion, and board a ship in Cangzhou to go north along the canal to the capital.
Although the road seemed to be a long way, it was very safe on the way, and no one would have thought that he would get mixed up on a canal boat and return to Beijing.
At noon the next day, Li Yuntian and Niu Lao Wu separated after having a meal in a restaurant, and agreed to go to have fun.
Immediately, Li Yuntian hired a carriage and went straight to Taiyuan Mansion, and on the way he robbed a person's road guide, so that he would not be afraid of the local inspection department's investigation on the road.
He was not at all worried that his disappearance would arouse the suspicion of the people in the inn, the reason was simple, who would stay in the inn if they had money? Niu Lao Wu will definitely not go back until he spends his money.
Li Yuntian did not stop in Taiyuan City, but went around the city, did not enter the majestic Taiyuan City at all, and ran directly to the direction of Cangzhou.
After running all the way, it was already early August when they arrived in Cangzhou, and Li Yuntian calculated the time, if Yang Rong and Jin Youzi sent someone to report to the capital, they would definitely send important ministers for the sake of solemnity, and the speed of the march would definitely not be fast.
He estimated that the person who reported the news should be almost at the boundary of Shanxi by now, which means that there are almost ten days left for him.
If he can't deliver the edict within these ten days, then the king of Han can control the ministers who came to deliver the edict, and then correct the edict, and then the prince will be at a disadvantage.
Li Yuntian believed that the crown prince must have known the news of Emperor Yongle's death by now, but since there was no edict, it could not be concluded that Emperor Yongle had died.
Therefore, even if the crown prince knew that Emperor Yongle died, he would not be able to inherit the unification, and if he ascended the throne without an edict, it would be disobedient, which could be regarded as a rebellion, and it would be unclear how Emperor Yongle died at that time.
At this time, the prince's disadvantage was revealed, and the people of Shanxi and Hebei were all looking to the king of Han, which made it difficult for him to get close to the ministers who came to deliver the edict, and he could not get the edict.
Why did the king of Han control the minister who sent the edict, and then carry out the edict, this is because there are strict rules for sending the edict, and not everyone is qualified to send this edict.
According to the custom, the person who came to deliver the edict must be a close minister who followed Emperor Yongle, such as Zhang Fu, Yang Rong and Jin Youzi, or Hanlin and Shu Jishi who followed the emperor.
Needless to say, important ministers like Zhang Fu and Yang Rong, the reason why Hanlin and Shu Jishi are qualified is because they are the leaders of the scholar class, the ministers of the humerus around the emperor.
After all, passing on the edict is a very strict thing, how can a random person holding a holy decree say that the emperor has died, in that case, wouldn't the world be in chaos.
August is the busy period of water transportation on the canal, and the fleet of ships going south and north is endless, and it is a busy scene.
When Li Yuntian arrived in Cangzhou at noon, he first went to the wharf to inquire, and learned that there was a passenger ship parked at the wharf that left for Tongzhou in the afternoon, so he bought a ticket and went to a restaurant near the wharf for lunch.
Since he could board the boat back to the capital in the afternoon, Li Yuntian's mood was much more relaxed, Cangzhou to the capital is more than 500 miles, and if you follow the line, you can reach the capital in about seven days.
After eating, Li Yuntian slapped a small piece of broken silver on the table, picked up a blue bag on the side and walked towards the dock, the things in the bag were very simple, just a few ordinary clothes.
No one would have thought that one of the clothes was sewn with an edict to the crown prince, because the weather was too hot, it was impossible for Li Yuntian to sew the edict into the clothes he wore on his body, in case it was too much of a sin if he was wet with sweat.
Because Cangzhou is an important freight distribution center on the canal, the streets near the wharf are very lively, crowded with people, and the two sides of the road are full of business stalls, and the sound of selling is endless.
Li Yuntian was invincible to the surrounding commotion, and rushed straight to the dock.
As he walked, a figure suddenly crashed into him, and then fell to the ground with a thud.
Li Yuntian looked at it, and it turned out to be a teenager in shabby clothes, his hair was a little dirty, and he fell to the ground in pain, holding his stomach in pain.
"You're alright?" Li Yuntian was slightly stunned when he saw this, stopped and leaned over and asked.
"It hurts!" The young man spat out a mouthful of blood, and he didn't look at Li Yuntian, and after saying a word, he lay there and screamed.
Looking at the blood stains on the young man's mouth, Li Yuntian showed a look of surprise on his face, it wouldn't have caused this young man to be so seriously injured just now.
"You knocked my brother and vomited blood, compensate my brother." At this moment, a group of children came out of nowhere, hugging Li Yuntian's legs and not letting him go, shouting in their mouths.
Li Yuntian understood now, he actually met the porcelain toucher, smiled helplessly, took out the money bag, took out an ingot of five taels of silver, leaned over and put it in front of the young man on the ground, and asked quietly, "This ingot of silver is enough for you to see a doctor." ”
"I have suffered such a big sin, I have to make up for my body, and if I leave sequelae, my life will be ruined." The young man looked up at the silver ingot in Li Yuntian's hand, his eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he said weakly.
"That should be enough, right?" Li Yuntian shook his head, added an ingot of five taels of silver, and asked in a deep voice.
The young man's eyes were full of joy, as if he didn't expect Li Yuntian to give money so happily, and when he was thinking about how to blackmail Li Yuntian for more money, Li Yuntian smiled slightly, "If two ingots of silver are not enough, then I have to report to the official." ”
"Enough, enough, this money is enough for me to buy medicine." As soon as the young man heard this, he got up from the ground, snatched the two ingots of silver from Li Yuntian's hand, and said with a smile.
"In the future, don't have pig blood in your mouth, the taste is wrong, and the effect is better if you change the chicken blood." Li Yuntian saw that the young man had a smug face, and said to him seriously.
"Let's go, let's buy some snacks." The smile on the young man's face froze, he didn't expect Li Yuntian to be able to see at a glance that what was coming out of his mouth was pig blood, and he suddenly became a little embarrassed, and waved his hand at the children who were still holding Li Yuntian's legs, and turned away.
When the children heard this, they immediately dispersed and chased after the boy in high spirits.
Li Yuntian smiled slightly when he saw this, and was about to take a step to leave, when he heard the sound of the young man in pain just now from the crowd in front of him, "Alas, light, light, my ears are going to fall off." ”
Li Yuntian subconsciously looked up, only to see a delicate girl in a red dress fiercely pulling the young man by one of his ears and carrying him over, followed by several big men in blue suits.
"Get on your knees!" The girl in the red dress led the young man in front of Li Yuntian, and kicked the young man's leg, and the young man knelt there with his head drooped, looking dejected.
"This son, what happened just now made you laugh." The girl in the red dress hugged her fist at Li Yuntian and said in a coquettish voice, and then she glared at the young man and looked at the young man, "Don't return the money to others." ”
"Childe, you don't care about villains, don't be with the general knowledge of the small." The young man raised the two silver ingots in his hand at Li Yuntian, with a reluctant face, today was the biggest harvest he had ever gained, he thought that he could catch a few pairs of good medicine for his mother, but now they were all in vain.
