When Wang Duwei heard someone shouting him, his voice was very familiar, and he hurriedly followed the prestige, but saw that it was Qiu Yizhi, the emperor's righteous son, who shouted him, so he hurriedly ran to Qiu Yizhi, made a military salute, and said: "It turns out that His Royal Highness has come down, I don't know what advice I have?" ”

Qiu Yizhi was also busy returning the salute, but said: "I remember that you were still a palace guard a few months ago, how did you become a general after you turned into a general?" ”

Wang Duwei scratched his head and said with a smile: "It turned out that several of the guards who followed the emperor are now out. Let's talk about our leader, General Zhang, there has been news from above, saying that he is going to be promoted to be the right general of the forbidden army! It's just that the emperor thinks that as soon as he comes, he will be on an equal footing with Cui Nan, Wei Hu, and Dai Luanxiang, the three marshals and generals, and he will be promoted too quickly. That's why I pressed it down. ”

Qiu Yizhi didn't expect that he had only left the capital for more than a month, and so many changes had taken place in the center of the imperial court, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But I heard the king Duwei say again: "I haven't seen His Highness Yi for a long time, why are you here today?" He didn't know that Qiu Yizhi had been sent out by the emperor to be the magistrate.

Qiu Yizhi didn't want to tell him about this, so he said: "The emperor sent me to Guangyang to do something, won't I come back to my life?" But he was stopped outside the city by one of your soldiers. ”

Before Qiu Yizhi's words fell, Wang Duwei immediately glanced at the soldier who stopped him and scolded: "You kid don't open your eyes!" Do you know who this noble man is? He stretched out a little finger, thicker than your waist, and dared to block his driving, he didn't want to eat tomorrow? ”

He scolded all the time, and he scolded a soldier who was five big and three thick and stood aside with his head and neck bowed, like a schoolboy who had made a mistake.

Qiu Yizhi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, isn't he also loyal to his duties?" You can't embarrass him! ”

Wang Duwei Ma Nuonuo said "yes".

Qiu Yizhi nodded and said, "Since you are here to call the shots, then I'll go into the city, okay?" ”

After such a toss, who dares to say half a "no"? In this way, Qiu Yizhi led Yu Chi Jiming swaggering into Luoyang, the capital division.

Qiu Yizhi had important things to do, and he was not in the mood to revisit the scenery of Beijing, so he went to his master, who was also the prime minister, Zhongli Kuangfu.

This Zhongli Kuang was originally a nameless person in Youyan Dao, with great talents who have passed through the heavens and latitudes, but he has not been able to enter Kyoto several times. Zheng Rong, who was still the king of Youyan at that time, admired his good name for a long time, and visited him several times before hiring him as a staff member.

And since Zhong Likuang joined Zheng Rong's disciples, he has also assisted with all his heart, and he has really done everything he knows and says everything. It can be said that Zheng Rong was able to succeed in rebellion and ascend to the Great Treasure by relying on the strong financial resources of Youyan Dao and the incomparable combat effectiveness of Youyan Army - and these two things were created by Zhongli Kuang with great effort.

At the same time, Zhong Likuang also served as the teacher of Zheng Rong's sons, and now these powerful princes have to meet him with teacher etiquette when they see him. Therefore, no matter which son of Zheng Rong inherits the throne, Zhong Li Kuang's title as an emperor is indispensable, and the supreme honor of "Taishi" in the current dynasty is waiting for him in the future.

Therefore, when Zheng Rong was finished, Zhong Likuang, who was still only a mere celebrity, was instantly promoted to the position of prime minister, which was a major event that had never been heard before, but the ministers of the DPRK and China did not criticize it.

So Emperor Zheng Rong planned to give Zhongli Kuang a mansion next to the imperial city, so that it would be convenient to consult the state affairs at any time. However, there is no vacant land in the neighborhood next to the imperial city, and it is the residence of the old ministers of the DPRK and China, and there is no vacant land for construction.

However, the emperor had made up his mind, and personally selected an official's mansion, and ordered the criminal department to thoroughly investigate the official's usual behavior, but he did not expect that a huge corruption would be investigated. So Zheng Rong was not polite, and disposed of this person casually, and after his mansion was reorganized, he was rewarded to Zhong Likuang to live in.

This house is already very large, and it is close to the imperial city, and from time to time there are soldiers patrolling around to check passers-by, so it seems very quiet in the middle of the city.

Qiu Yizhi was about to go up to report his name, but he turned his head and saw that Wei Chi Jiming was still with him, and thought: I was about to discuss confidential matters with my master, and it would not be good for this little girl to hear it.

So he said to Yu Chi Jiming: "Ji Ming, filial piety is the first thing in all kinds, since you have returned to Beijing, you should first go to your father to say hello." When I'm done with this, I'm going to see your father. ”

Qiu Yizhi's words have nothing to consider, Wei Chi Jiming listened to it, agreed without hesitation, and said: "My father has been very busy every day since he became an official, I don't know where others are, I'm afraid I will have to find it." ”

Qiu Yizhi smiled and said, "In the final analysis, he is also running for the Wei Chi family!" I don't think he's in the military department, but in the criminal department, but fortunately, these two places are not far from here, so you can find it yourself. If the guards of the yamen won't let you in...... With your light skills, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop you! ”

He said these two words to Wei Chi Jiming's heart, only to hear her "hehe" smile, turned around and ran away.

So Qiu Yizhi tidied up his clothes, walked around a big stone lion in front of the Xiangfu Gate, walked up the steps, and stretched out his hand to knock on the door. But I heard a janitor on the side shouting, "Who are you?" This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't mess around here! ”

Qiu Yizhi was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that this time is different from the past, and his identity as a master is very different from a few months ago. So he said to the soldier with a pleasant face: "In the next is Qiu Yizhi, the magistrate of Shanyin County, and he has something important to come to see the prime minister. ”

The soldier sneered and asked, "I don't know if this lord has made an appointment with my family?" When he spoke, he deliberately added an accent to the word "adult".

Of course, Qiu Yizhi heard the ridicule in this person's words, but said patiently: "In the next Zhongli first...... Prime Minister Zhongli has an old age, and he never makes an appointment. I also asked this soldier to go and report it, and said that Qiu Yizhi was coming, and the prime minister would definitely meet him. ”

The soldier said: "There is no one here who asks to see Xiangye, and there is no one who does not have an old relationship with Xiangye." Don't have an appointment? Don't say that you are a county magistrate, even your state pastor and the old man of Thorn Shi have to eat behind closed doors! You are a few princes under the emperor's knees......"

Qiu Yizhi listened, smiled bitterly, and secretly thought: The relationship between himself and the princes he said is really a brother. However, he couldn't reveal his identity, sighed secretly, and then said, "But I don't know how to make an appointment with Prime Minister Zhongli?" ”

The soldier said with great disdain: "You are a seventh-grade official, and you also want to make an appointment with my family's father?" It's really a joke, if there is anything, go to the Yamen of Yousi to report first, and then be taken into the house by the servants of each department! After that, he scolded again, "What a sesame mung bean official, I don't have an introduction, and I want to see my father!" ”

He scolded so loudly that Qiu Yizhi couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, stepped forward and stepped back from the soldier's chest, and scolded: "Put me clean in your mouth!" What happened to the magistrate? That's also a serious Jinshi background, hand-picked by the emperor! ”

The soldier refused to suffer at all, and also pushed Qiu Yi, and then scolded: "What's wrong with the county? What happened to Jinshi? An official like you is selling in Luoyang City, do you know it! Tell you, the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, Lao Tzu is big with you, what's the big deal! ”

Qiu Yizhi was even more annoyed by his push, and was about to go up to fight with him, but he heard a person behind him reprimand: "Who is spreading wild here? Don't know the rules? ”

The gatekeeper Ding was facing the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion with his back to him, followed the prestige, immediately left Qiu Yizhi, changed his smiling face, stepped forward, and immediately knelt down and smiled at the person who spoke: "Yo, it turns out that the Great Hall has come down, is it here to find my family's master?" ”

The "Great Highness" quietly said "um" and said, "I have already agreed with Mr. Zhongli, and I will enter the palace to see my father." He paused and said, "I said, you've been looking at the door here for more than a month, why don't you understand the rules at all?" Quarrel with someone here? If you lose the prestige of the court, can you afford to be guilty? ”

The soldier put on a flattering smile on his face, turned his body sideways, pointed at Qiu Yizhi and said, "This is the fact that His Highness has wronged me." I don't know the rules is the magistrate from San'in County, and I didn't ...... the same beforehand."

"Your Highness" listened to him halfway through and immediately interrupted: "What? You say he's from San'in County? ”

"Yes, yes, the devil knows where this San'in County is!" The soldier continued.

This "Great Highness" ignored him, and even left a group of attendants behind him, walked straight to Qiu Yizhi of Shanyin Zhixian County, grabbed his hand, and said: "It turns out that Yizhi is here, why don't you report it before entering Beijing?" So that your eldest brother can be prepared. ”

It turned out that the "Great Highness" in the mouth of the bystanders was Zheng Xin, the eldest son of Emperor Zheng Rong.

Zheng Xin is the eldest among the emperor's three sons, and he is a descendant, and his literary talent and martial arts are quite impressive. According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, he should succeed to the throne, but his father never intended to make himself the crown prince, which made him very anxious, but helpless. For this big matter, he discussed with several masters in his palace many times, but he was at a loss, and he really couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts, so he had to bury himself in government affairs, just to leave a good impression of loyalty and ability in his father's heart.

Among the three sons of Qiu Yizhi and Emperor Zheng Rong, only the third son Zheng Miao has the best relationship; And although the eldest brother Zheng Xin and the second brother Zheng Sen also treat each other politely, they are not very close.

However, he had just been angry with the villain, and when he was wronged, he couldn't help but be very moved when he saw that his eldest brother was so enthusiastic about him, and he hurriedly broke free of his big hands, shook it to the end, and said: "I have an urgent matter, I want to report to my father-in-law, I want to ask the master for advice first, and then meet the emperor with the master, but I don't want to be blocked here, alas! ”

Zheng Xin is also a smart person, thinking: Although his righteous brother is not above the royal brand, but because he is resourceful and bold, he is highly valued by his father - when he inherits the throne at a critical time, whether he has a word or not, maybe it is the difference between the world and the abyss - it is better to take this opportunity to sell him personal favor.

So Zheng Xin smiled and said: "Brother, don't be like them. These are all villains who look down on people with dogs' eyes, if you get angry with them, don't you blow up your lungs every day? Aren't you going to see Master Zhongli? I also happen to have something to look for him, let's go, let's go in together! ”

After saying that, he personally pushed open the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, took Qiu Yizhi's hand again, and walked side by side towards the door.

The arrogant and domineering janitor just now was suddenly stunned by this scene, and it took a while to react, and he immediately trotted into the door behind Zheng Xin and Qiu Yi. Relying on his familiarity with the internal structure and road of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he took a shortcut and ran to the middle hall, found Zhong Li Kuang, and whispered in his ear: "Prime Minister, Your Highness...... And San'in Zhixian has arrived. ”
