Chapter 38: The Road to Heaven (9)

decided to investigate Xu Xinsheng, Wang Kunjun and others asked Lu Yue to set up a radio station to conduct routine communication with Liangxiang. Although this place is about 700 kilometers away from Liangxiang, through Lu Yue's efforts, he still got in touch with that side. Although the signal is slightly weak, it does not affect the call between the two sides. Wang Kunjun first explained today's day's itinerary to Li Junwu on the other end of the radio station, and then talked about Xu Xinsheng's situation and explained the decision made by the three committee members here.

When Li Junwu heard that the "delegation" had arrived at Chenqiaoyi, which was only 40 miles away from Kaifeng, he felt much more down-to-earth. After hearing that the "delegation" may have found a new traverser, he was also very happy and expressed his support for the relevant resolutions made by Wang Kunjun and others. Subsequently, Li Junwu also briefed Wang Kunjun and others about the situation in Liangxiang, saying that everything is running normally now, so Wang Kunjun and others don't have to worry.

After ending the call with Li Junwu, because they had to get up early the next day to hurry, Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin planned to go back to the room to rest, but before the two of them walked to their room, they were stopped by Xu Shaoan from behind. Wang and Zhang turned around, and saw Xu Shao'an chasing after them, and said, "Why are the two brothers in such a hurry to go to sleep. Although it is not fifteen tonight, the moonlight is still very bright. I heard Brother Qi say that this is the place where Zhao Kuangyin's 'yellow robe is added' a few years later, since we are here, we have to take a good look. Although we can't get into the station, we have to take a turn outside, and it is not in vain. ”

Wang and Zhang saw that Xu Shao'an was so interested, and they thought that when they came during the day, they were busy arranging accommodation, so they didn't have time to go and see. I have to rush to the morning tomorrow morning, and I don't have time to visit. Therefore, after a little discussion, the two agreed to Xu Shao'an's suggestion and accompanied him to go around the famous post station.

Xu Shao'an saw that the two nodded in agreement, and his interest was even higher, and he felt that it was not lively enough to invite Wang and Zhang to visit Chenqiaoyi at night. Therefore, he connected in the inn again, except for a few who drank too much and couldn't get up, most of the other brothers were tossed by him, even Lin Xiaoyu, who he usually didn't dare to provoke.

So, in the cold wind of the wax moon, except for Huangshan, who couldn't wake up, and Yuxuzi, who refused to accompany Xu Shao'an's madness, the other nine brothers were willing or unwilling to accompany Xu Shao'an, who was in high spirits, and came to play near the famous post station under the miserable white moonlight. On the periphery, a little further away from their ten brothers, there were two squads of guards led by Chang Shengjun who were responsible for protecting their safety. Fortunately, it was already the second watch at this time, and there were no pedestrians in the town or around the post station, otherwise they would have been taken aback by this large-scale "winter night tour group".

Although Chenqiaoyi is very famous, it is just an ordinary post station in the final analysis. If it weren't for Zhao Kuangyin doing a big thing here that caused a sensation in the world, then this post station would be as unknown as countless other post stations. Therefore, when Xu Shaoan found that the famous Chen Qiaoyi in history was just a courtyard with a limited area, he felt a little disappointed in his heart. He said to Zhang Weixin with regret: "Fifth brother, I thought that there would be anything special about this Chen Qiaoyi, but now it seems that it is so ordinary, and the scale is not as good as our 'Qingyuan'." ”

Zhang Weixin said disapprovingly: "Chenqiaoyi is just an ordinary post station, it is not small to have this scale, and you still expect him to build it like the emperor's palace." ”

Xu Shaoan said: "Of course it's impossible, how can the post station be as big as the palace." I just think this post station is too ordinary, no different from the other post stations we see on the road, and I really can't show its historical particularity. ”

Zhang Weixin was made to laugh and cry by Xu Shao'an's argument, and asked, "Then how should you arrange it?" ”

Xu Shaoan pondered for a moment and said: "Even if it can't be built like a palace, you should erect a monument or an archway in front of the post station, and then write on it the commemorative text of 'Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin Yellow Robe Plus Place', which can highlight the historical value of this place." ”

Xu Shao'an's "whimsy" caused a commotion in everyone, although all the brothers were "shocked" by his "magical" idea, but because of his face, except for Lin Xiaoyu, who laughed out loud alone, everyone else endured it and didn't make a sound. Fortunately, it was night at this time, and Xu Shaoan couldn't see the wonderful expressions on the faces of the brothers who were flushed because of the laughter, otherwise, I really don't know how our Bugs Xu would react. ,

However, others save face for him, but Lin Xiaoyu will not care about these. Therefore, while laughing, she counted Xu Shaoan and said: "You say that you are a big boss, but you always don't admit it." Let you usually ask Brother Qi for advice, but you don't care. I remember that Brother Qi once said that Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe should be more than four years later. Therefore, even if there are any iconic buildings in the inn, it should not appear until more than four years later, how can it be standing in front of the post station now. ”

Xu Shaoan was taught a lesson by Lin Xiaoyu and understood that he had confused the order of time. Although he lost his eyes in front of his brothers, he was very arrogant in his life, especially when only his brothers were there, and he never paid much attention to these face-saving things. So, the guy waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Hey! Isn't this just a few years earlier and a few years later, it's not a big deal. Besides, all of us can come to this place, and nothing else is possible. According to me, maybe it won't take more than four years for this Zhao Kuangyin to be 'added to the yellow robe'. Maybe this guy has a little back, and before he had time to put on a yellow robe, he was already cut off by Chai Rong. The world is unpredictable, brothers said, isn't this the reason? ”

Xu Shao'an's new assertion once again caused a commotion among the brothers, but this time Zhang Weixin did not continue to laugh, he waved his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Although the 'whimsy' in front of Lao Qi is more shocking, there is some truth in his later words. In a sense, our understanding of historical trends is an advantage that can help us make judgments that are beneficial to us about major events. But on the other hand, this is actually a disadvantage, and it may also limit our thinking. As the eighth child just said, since we can all come here, what else can't happen.

Therefore, everyone must be cautious in their actions in the future, and do not make decisions lightly just because they are familiar with the trend of history. In particular, when dealing with certain historical celebrities, we must be more cautious and never substitute our own judgment for the records in books. We are about to enter Kaifeng City, where there are far more opportunities to meet historical celebrities than Liangxiang, so I hope that the brothers can remember what I just said, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to themselves and the team. ”

"Lao Qi said very reasonably," Wang Kunjun added on the side, "Taking this opportunity, I also want to remind my brothers - this is not a good township city, everyone must be cautious in their actions." ”

Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin's repeated admonitions made the brothers put away their jokes and began to carefully reflect on the meaning of Wang and Zhang's words. As a result, the atmosphere of the whole "night tour" has become less lively than just now. Seeing this, Zhang Weixin was afraid of sweeping Xu Shaoan's interest, so he enlightened: "Don't just bow your head and think about your own thoughts, since we came here without sleeping in the middle of the night, we have to take a good look at this post station." Although the history of this plane has deviated, there are some big trends that will not change. Before the emergence of a character like Zhao Kuangyin, the turbulent times of 'you sing and I will appear' will definitely continue.

Therefore, even if Zhao Kuangyin in this time and space is really like what Lao Ba said, he lost his life before he could 'add to the yellow robe', there may be other 'Sun Kuangyin', 'Li Kuangyin' or something popping up, and also staging a good show of 'yellow robe' here or elsewhere. Maybe even when the time comes, we will still be part of the yellow robe on someone. ”

Zhang Weixin's words aroused everyone's interest again, and the brothers refocused their attention on Chen Qiaoyi, which was not far away, and commented on each word for a while. During this period, there were some shocking views, and some people even began to think that after seeing Chai Rong, they might be added to the rank and become the minister of the Zhou State, so that in the future, when a certain cattle man "added a yellow robe", he could also get a "dragon hero".

Seeing that the brothers' thinking was getting wider and wider, and the words they said were becoming more and more presumptuous, Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin had to speak out to stop them. After all, this is an era in which talking nonsense will be punished, and this is the core area of the Zhou Kingdom, so everyone should be careful. Therefore, after warning the brothers not to talk nonsense, seeing that the time was close to the third watch, everyone returned to the inn to rest under the urging of Wang Kunjun. ,

Early the next morning, the people of the "Representative Garden" and the Zhao family got up early, sorted out their carriages and horses, and after breakfast, they set foot on the official road to Kaifeng City.

Chen Qiaoyi is only more than 40 miles away from Kaifeng City, if the "delegation" goes by themselves, because they all ride horses or cars, and they may arrive at Kaifeng City in the afternoon. However, many of the Zhao family's masters and servants walked on two legs, so the whole team did not travel fast, and it was not until evening that they entered Kaifeng City.

However, although walking with the master and servant of the Zhao family slowed down, it also brought a lot of convenience to the "delegation". On the one hand, after entering the city, with Zhao Anyi as a guide, the "delegation" at least will not have dark eyes and will not bother to find a good inn. On the other hand, Zheng Zhiwei can take this opportunity to communicate more with Xu Xinsheng, so that he can better and faster complete the tasks assigned by the committee. Therefore, on the way to Kaifeng City, Zheng Zhiwei deliberately abandoned the horse and rode in the car, and invited Xu Xinsheng to the carriage so that the two of them could talk freely.

After some temptation, Zheng Zhiwei found that Xu Xinsheng didn't remember what he said last night, and this was exactly what Zheng Zhiwei wanted. In this way, Xu Xinsheng will not strengthen his precautions against Zheng Zhiwei because he knows that he has missed his mouth, which will be more conducive to Zheng Zhiwei to find out the details of the other party.

In addition, the exchanges and conversations along the way also made the relationship between Zheng and Xu a step further, and when the team arrived in Kaifeng City and was about to break up, the two had already begun to be brothers. Moreover, the proportionality of brothers at this time is different from last night, last night was called brother in a drunken state, which can only be regarded as a drunken joke. At this time, both parties are in a state of sobriety, and they already have the meaning of being confidants as brothers. If it weren't for the fear that his side would take the initiative to scare the other party away, Zhang Weixin even planned to take the opportunity to propose that the two become brothers with different surnames.

After leading the "delegation" to a large inn in Kaifeng City that was large enough to accommodate this huge caravan, Zhao Anyi said goodbye to the brothers of the "delegation", and then returned to his home with Xu Xinsheng, who had agreed to live in Zhao Mansion as a nursing home.

After sending Zhao Anyi and his entourage away, Wang Kunjun and the other three committee members arranged for the "delegation" to distribute rooms and goods, and began to discuss how to act next.

Previously, what they received was only a letter from Master Tai, not an official invitation from the Zhou court, let alone Chai Rong's holy decree, so they definitely couldn't just go to the palace to see Chai Rong directly. Therefore, the first thing to do after arriving in Kaifeng City should be to find Master Tai, and then introduce Chai Rong through Master Tai, and then enter the palace to face the saint after getting permission.

Since the old fairy of Fuyaozi only mentioned in the letter that he had been living in the pavilion of the imperial court, but did not specify the specific location of the pavilion, the first thing the "delegation" had to do was to find the pavilion where Master Tai lived. Fortunately, although none of the members of the "delegation" had ever been to Kaifeng City -- this refers to the ancient Kaifeng City, and there were still people in the modern Kaifeng City team who had been to it -- but before breaking up with Zhao Anyi, Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin had specially inquired about the location of the imperial court pavilion, so everyone was not blind at this time.

Therefore, after some discussion, it was decided that early tomorrow morning, led by the fourth brother Yu Xuozi, with Wang Kunjun and Xu Shaoan and a number of guards, he found the pavilion according to the location indicated by Zhao Anyi and went to meet Master Tai. The rest of the people were managed by Zhang Weixin, who patiently waited for everyone's news in the inn.

The plan of the three has been decided, and the fourth brother Yu Xuzi was invited to explain the plans of the three to him. Yu Xuzi has no objection to this, but he knows very well that his brothers have relied on the local government and the "land snake" before, so although he can't run rampant in the township, he has always been used to doing it on the ground in Liangxiang County and even Youdu Mansion. Although Wang Kunjun and others warned them to be cautious and low-key on the way from before departure to Kaifeng City, people's habits cannot be changed in a while, so he repeatedly told Zhang Weixin, who stayed behind, to restrain the brothers who stayed in the inn, and try not to go out unless necessary. lest these flesh-and-blood brothers provoke those who don't mess with them and bring trouble to everyone.

In this regard, Zhang Weixin repeatedly said yes, and promised that he would be optimistic about this group of brothers and would never let them go out to make trouble. Seeing that his seventh brother also attached great importance to this matter, Yu Xuozi also put his mind at ease, chatted with the three of them for a few more words, and then prepared to go back to the room to rest. As a result, as soon as he stood up, without waiting for Wang Kunjun and others to send him to the door, the door was pushed open from the outside, and then Wang Feng walked in from the outside.
