Qiu Yizhi smiled and said: "I don't have a name, you just need to go in and talk to Marshal Dai, saying that Qiu Yizhi is coming, and the marshal will naturally meet him." ”

According to the rules of the Han court, when you ask to see an official of the court, you must either present your name or report your resume, and no matter how bad it is, you must have the title of "the same year" and "fellow villager".

However, Qiu Yizhi does not occupy any of the above, neither can he get any famous post, nor does he have a resume to report, and he can't talk about "the same year" and "fellow villagers" with Dai Luanxiang.

Although if Dai Luanxiang heard the simple words "Qiu Yizhi", he would have to put down his affairs and meet in person, but this little gatekeeper didn't know the reason and didn't buy his account.

I saw that the soldier's head was raised, and he scolded: "What 'grab one', 'catch two', Marshal Dai has every opportunity, how can you have the leisure time to listen to your nonsense, go and go!" ”

Qiu Yizhi snorted his lips and said, "Since Marshal Dai is busy with military affairs...... By the way, His Royal Highness Zheng Sen seems to be also inspecting the affairs of the Ministry of War today, can you help inform me and say that I am 'Qiu Yizhi' here. ”

When the soldier heard this, he exclaimed: "What kind of person is the Third Highness, how can you know his movements so clearly?" Who are you, don't explain it quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being polite. ”

Qiu Yizhi was just about to answer, but the county lord Yiran on the side was already impatient, and took the first step to say: "What's so great about him Zheng Sen?" I usually don't want to deal with him, otherwise he would have to be polite to me! Why don't you go and report to me, what are you talking about here? ”

The soldier heard Yiran's words categorically, and saw that he was gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary appearance, so he really couldn't tell what she was about, so he said with a little emptiness: "Since the two of you want to see the Third Highness, I can't be the master of this matter, or I will go and inform the leader, and if he agrees, naturally let the two of them in." ”

"Then why don't you go quickly, doesn't the pestle look good here?" Yiran reprimanded.

The soldier ignored the strange-looking woman, explained a few words to his companion, and then turned and went in to report it.

Cheng Yan, who was sitting on the ox cart, quietly greeted Qiu Yizhi and said softly: "It seems that Marshal Dai is busy today, and Gongzi has the heart to help us, so there is no need to rush for a while, it doesn't hurt to come back another day." ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, I have a very good relationship with Marshal Dai." What's more, if this matter is done sooner, the two of you will have to suffer less for a day, won't you? ”

As he was talking, the guard had already come out of the yamen of the military department, followed by an officer wearing a thousand general uniforms.

The officer's armor was bright and bright, and at a glance he knew that he was not a mediocre person. But seeing that he saw Qiu Yizhi and Yiran from a distance, he ran forward with small steps very respectfully, and then knelt down on one knee and said, "It turns out that His Royal Highness has come down, and the villain has lost his distance!" Oh, the county lord is here too! With that, he saluted Yiran again.

It turned out that this person was Sergeant Youyan who was arranged to enter the forbidden army and act as a grassroots officer—so he naturally recognized Qiu Yizhi and Lord Yiran.

Cheng Yan, Jin Deqiang, including the soldier guarding the door, were all stunned when they saw this scene, and they couldn't guess the identity of the "Righteous Highness" Qiu Yizhi and the "County Lord" Yiran.

Qiu Yi Zhiwan smiled and said, "No need to be polite. I just have some small things, I need to meet Marshal Dai, if the marshal is busy, it is the same to meet the Third Highness. Can you take it in? ”

"Oops! Where is this saying, Your Highness? Mr. Qian scratched his head and said, "If you want to meet, you can naturally go to see it." By the way, the order from above came down, saying that Prince Youyan and His Royal Highness will also come to the military department to inspect today, and His Royal Highness Yi happened to meet together, and the big thing was done. ”

Qiu Yizhi was taken aback, thought about it in his heart, turned around and said to Cheng Yan and Jin Deqiang: "The matter of the two is just Marshal Dai or His Royal Highness nodding and talking." But today, it is a coincidence that the prince of Youyan and His Royal Highness have come here to discuss matters, and if this matter is mentioned with them, it will inevitably have more twists and turns. It's better to arrange for the two of you to stay first, and come back tomorrow to handle this matter. ”

Cheng Yan and Jin Deqiang naturally had no objections, nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." ”

Qiu Yizhi listened, and was about to turn his head back, but he heard a voice behind him, saying, "Yizhi hasn't come to say hello for a long time, why are you here today?" ”

Qiu Yizhi turned his head to follow the prestige, but Zheng Rong, the king of Youyan, smiled and spoke to himself, followed by his eldest brother Zheng Xin, knowing that there was no way to avoid it, so he stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said with a smile: "Yi was extremely tired a few days ago, thinking that Shu San Shu was lazy, so he didn't come to disturb his father-in-law, and he forgot to ask for a leave, and asked his father-in-law to forgive his sins!" ”

Zheng Rong waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "What Gu values is only your loyalty and filial piety, as for what red tape Gu is not rigid. Get up and speak. ”

Qiu Yizhi kowtowed on the ground and said, "Yizhi has written it down." Then he got up.

So Zheng Rong said again: "I heard that you have been playing around with Yiran in the past few days, why did you think of coming to the military department today?" But what is there to do? ”

Qiu Yizhi didn't dare to hide it: "I visited the Jiezhuang Temple with Yiran, and happened to bump into two acquaintances. They were originally good people, but because of my connection, they were reduced to begging on the streets. So Qiu Yizhi briefly told the origin of these two people, and said, "Yizhi's thoughts have the virtue of a good life in heaven, so today is like seeking a way for the two of them." ”

Zheng Rong didn't say a word and listened to Qiu Yizhi's words, then turned his head and said to Cheng Yan and Jin Deqiang who were sitting on the ox cart: "Lone is Zheng Rong, the king of Youyan, and you know about it." ”

Where could the two of them sit still on the ox cart, and hurriedly stumbled down from the cart, lying on the ground and knocking their heads countless times.

Jin Deqiang was even more depressed, and muttered: "Long live His Royal Highness!" ”

Jin Deqiang's incoherent compliment happened to Zheng Rong's spleen, and he smiled and said: "Lone has always had clear rewards and punishments, and there has long been an order, saying that the disabled sergeants, whether they are friends or enemies, will be treated and compensated by the military department and the household department. However, there are many evils to persuade the good division, and the minions must be interrogated by the criminal department before they are punished. However, what Lonely Listening Yi said, both of you are pseudo-monarchs Zheng Yao rebelled against the party, and you have done a lot of evil things, which is really unforgivable!"

Cheng Yan and Jin Deqiang, who were prostrate on the ground, were so frightened that they were covered in sweat when they heard this, knowing that as soon as the powerful Youyan King Zheng Rong opened the golden mouth of the world, he would be doomed, and he almost fainted.

Zheng Rong changed his words and said: "But since the two of you are destined to meet Gu, that Gu naturally has another special grace." In this way, if you two come here again tomorrow, if you can ask Marshal Dai's understanding, and then go to the Criminal Department to report, you will say that there is a special forgiveness, and you two will be innocent, and you two will die secretly. ”

Cheng Yan and Jin Deqiang were still ignorant, lying on the ground and not knowing what to do.

Qiu Yizhi understood in his heart: with Dai Luanxiang's belly and Zheng Rong's pardon, the two of them could be regarded as saving the rest of their lives, so he smiled and said: "Your two lives have been saved, don't hurry up and thank you!" ”

When Cheng Yan and Jin Deqiang heard this, they reacted, and while chanting "long live" in their mouths, they kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Zheng Rong was overjoyed by their "long live" call, so he smiled and said: "You two get up, go back first and think about how to talk to Marshal Dai, if the marshal is unwilling to forgive you two, then Lone will not be able to return to heaven." ”

Cheng Yan and Jin Deqiang nodded groggily in agreement, and forgot about Qiu Yizhi's farewell, got up and bowed their heads and didn't know where to go.

Qiu Yizhi saw the two leave, turned to Zheng Rongzuo and said, "My father-in-law has such a bold mind, no wonder the world has returned to his heart!" ”

Zheng Rong didn't say anything, and said to Qiu Yizhi: "Lone Zheng has something to say to you, you come with me." As for Yiran, let's go back to Siyi Pavilion to live first, and Lone will meet with your Bohai Mission in the near future. ”

Qiu Yizhi heard Zheng Rong's tone stiff, and he didn't know where he had offended him, so he hurriedly agreed and followed Zheng Rong to the lobby of the Criminal Department.

In the Criminal Department, Zheng Sen and Dai Luanxiang were jointly handling the rectification of the Jiedu Army in various places, and when they saw Zheng Rong leading Zheng Xin to arrive, they hurriedly got up and saluted, and introduced the tension one by one.

Zheng Rong was very satisfied when he heard this, and said: "There has been a long history of laxity in military affairs in various places, and there are even local officers who have deducted military salaries and reported empty posts. ”

Dai Luanxiang hurriedly said: "What a lot of advice! ”

Zheng Sen said: "Father can't trust me, can't he still trust Marshal Dai?" There is a marshal sitting here, are you afraid that things will not be done? ”

Zheng Rong said with a smile: "What I'm afraid of is that you are here, relying on your identity as an orphan, pointing fingers and delaying Marshal Dai's work!" ”

Everyone knew that Zheng Rong's words were a joke, and they all laughed, and Zheng Sen also laughed.

After talking for a while, Zheng Rong turned to Qiu Yidao: "Lone still has something to say to you, and you will follow Lone to the back hall." ”

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly agreed, and followed Zheng Rong to the back hall of the Criminal Department.

There was no one in the lobby of the Criminal Department, including Zheng Sen, who was not clever, and knew that his father and son had confidential matters to discuss, so they all stopped in the middle hall and talked to each other.

In addition to the sand table of the Han Dynasty in the middle of the back hall of the Criminal Department, there is no other decoration, which looks very neat and neat, which is in line with the mind of the generals who led Zheng Rong to lead the war. So he sat down on the main seat in the back hall with great satisfaction, beckoned Qiu Yizhi to sit down, and asked with a smile: "Yizhi has been having a good time these days?" ”

Qiu Yizhi didn't know what Zheng Rong meant by this, and thought about it a little: "Yizhi has been traveling excessively in the past few days, he has not helped his father-in-law to do things, and he has neglected his studies, and he also asks his father-in-law to forgive his sins. ”

Zheng Rong waved his hand and said: "The way of civil and martial arts, one by one." You were born and died a few days ago, and you worked hard, so it's time to have a good time and rest. Lone is also like you, at the age of the first emperor, he sent troops to release horses, and he has been busy until now without a moment's rest, speaking from the heart, I really envy you! ”

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly said: "Yizhi is just a fluke and has made some small contributions, how dare you compare with your father-in-law?" Don't break the forage of the ceremony. ”

Zheng Rong nodded and praised: "You can think like this, and you can live up to Lonely's careful teaching for so many years." He paused and said, "Lone is looking for you to talk to you again, do you know what it is?" ”

"Please also ask your father-in-law to teach!" Qiu Yizhi said.

Zheng Rong nodded again and said, "I have already talked to you about this matter many times. At present, everything is in place, there is no east wind, and the ascension of the lone pole is in front of you, which is considered a great success. Lone was about to ask, what are your long-term plans for the future? ”
