Volume 1 A Son of Heaven and a Courtier 157 The Minions of the Persuasion Division in Distress
Yiran was originally a person who loved to be lively, and he came to Luoyang, the capital for the previous time, to help Qiu Yizhi, and it happened that the old emperor Zheng Yong died, and all entertainment activities in the capital were stopped. After that, Yiran was born and died with Qiu Yi, and saved the persecuted Youyan King Zheng Rong out, not to mention having any fun.
Therefore, remembering that this will enter Beijing, he wants to drag Qiu Yizhi to play to his heart's content, and by the way, relieve the pain of lovesickness.
It happened that when Qiu Yizhi first entered Tongguan to do business, most of the tens of thousands of silver given to him by his father-in-law Zheng Rong had not been used up, and his hands had never been so loose, so he threw off his arms and played in the dark every day, just trying to forget all the depression and irritability a few days ago.
So the two of them don't do anything serious every day, they mix together every day, walking the streets and alleys every day, enjoying the scenery of the capital.
On this day, Qiu Yizhi and Yiran did not bring a half of their entourage, and went to the famous ring temple in the capital side by side.
This precept temple is a high monk in the Han Dynasty Taizong returned from the Buddha country Tianzhu, by the decree of Emperor Taizong, built in the capital. Although this huge temple has not been officially canonized, many emperors since Emperor Taizong have come to burn incense and pray, so it has faintly become a royal temple. In addition, because there were many old concubines in the previous dynasty who were monks and practiced here, when the "holy martial arts destroyed the Buddha", countless Garan in only left this precept temple undamaged, and believers near and far had no sustenance, and the incense here was extremely prosperous for more than 100 years.
Qiu Yizhi entered the temple, saw that the temple here is magnificent, ancient wood forest, sure enough, the weather is extraordinary, just mentioned some interest; But I saw that the monks in the temple were all fat and big-eared, and their faces were full of oil, and they were not the appearance of monks and cultivators.
Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi found an opportunity to talk to a monk, and wanted to show off a few words of Buddhism that he had learned from Zhong Li Kuang.
Who knew that the monk opened his mouth to ask Qiu Yizhi to pay for blessings and pray, and seeing that Qiu Yizhi was not interested and brought a woman by his side, he asked him to pay for the lottery to calculate the marriage - it is really three sentences without leaving silver.
Qiu Yizhi was suddenly overjoyed by this monk, and no longer paid attention to him, and took Yiran to visit the temple as if he had visited the flowers, and then left from the main gate.
Before leaving the main gate, he saw a group of beggars gathered at the gate, surrounded the people who went in and out of the temple to burn incense, and demanded money.
Those who burn incense and pray for blessings in this temple are either ghosts and ask for the blessing of the Buddha, or good men and women who are pious to the twelfth point - in short, whether true or not, all have a heart to accumulate virtue and do good deeds - so when they saw this group of beggars, they took out the scattered copper plates that had been prepared long ago and distributed them one by one.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, he shouted: "Zhou Daguan scatters money~"
When the beggars heard this, they all took the broken porcelain bowls and mourning sticks in their hands, and rushed in the direction where the shouts came fromβthis momentum was no less than the charge of the warriors in front of the two armies.
Qiu Yizhi couldn't help but raise his eyes to follow the prestige, but he saw that the person who shouted was wearing a jacket and was in his fifties, but his spirit was not inferior to that of the young man, and his voice was extremely loud, it was He Jiugong, who had a lot of connections with Qiu Yizhi at the beginning.
Qiu Yizhi saw this scene from afar, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.
Seeing Qiu Yizhi's appearance, Yi Ran pulled his sleeve hard, and said angrily: "What are you happy about here alone?" You didn't get the money again! β
Qiu Yizhi said with a smile: "You see that old man who shouted was the one who drove the car for Zhou Cijing, and he can be regarded as his henchman." β
"Oh! Zhou Cijing: I know, the vice president of the Guangyang Chamber of Commerce! Rich people are generous, and they are not afraid of attracting attention if they give a little money to make such a big battle. Yiran said.
Qiu Yizhi laughed twice, but said, "You don't know anything about this." He, Zhou Cijing, took refuge in Youyan Wangfu and finally bet on the right treasure, but it turned out to be just a rich man in Youyan Dao. Now that my father-in-law is about to ascend to the pole, he will take advantage of the situation to do business all over the country! β
"Humph! After all, he is just a profiteer who is unkind to the rich, what's the big deal! Remembering again.
While he was talking, Qiu Yizhi saw that more than a dozen steps away, two beggars were unkempt and limping towards He Jiugong. The two men were obviously badly injured in their hands and feet, and they staggered down after not walking a few steps, and finally simply crawled forward on the ground, covered with dust and stains.
Seeing their pitiful appearance, Qiu Yizhi couldn't help but feel a little compassion in his heart, so he hurried up a few steps and said to the two: "I see that you two have inconvenient legs and feet, if you compete with other beggars like this, won't you starve to death?" So saying, he took out a few pieces of loose silver and threw them at the hands of the two men.
One of the beggars picked up the silver taels, and checked them in his hand, knowing that these few grains of silver would cover his expenses for several months, so he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "More of this ...... This son rewarded. The son is so generous, he must be the stars in the sky, and he will definitely be a prince in the future, and he will give birth to sons and daughters......"
Qiu Yizhi listened to his flattering words one after another, and suddenly felt that his voice was very familiar, and he hurriedly said: "You and raise your head for me!" Let me see. β
The beggar really raised his head, glanced at Qiu Yizhi, and then lowered his head again.
Qiu Yizhi recognized this person's identity in this short moment, and said: "Father-in-law Jin, do you still recognize Zaiquan Budong?" β
This person was ordered to escort Dai Luanxiang into Beijing a few months ago, but he was caught by Qiu Yizhi's stratagem, and he was also picked off on the spot by Jin Deqiang, the eunuch of the Quanshan Division. Qiu Yizhi looked at the beggar next to him again, and after careful identification, it turned out to be Cheng Yan, the school inspector at that time.
Jin Deqiang, who was in trouble, was shocked when he heard the benefactor in front of him ask such a question, supported himself to sit up, and carefully looked Qiu Yi up and down a few times, and then said: "Sure enough, it's Gongzi." Wasn't Childe taken to Shilin Mountain by bandits and bandits, how could he meet the little one here? β
Qiu Yizhi heard that he was still in the dark, and he was a little proud in his heart, so he said: "What Quan Budong is, it is just an expedient measure to deceive people at the beginning......
Yiran interjected on the side: "Oh oh. I still came up with the three words Quan Budong, why did you use it without my consent? That's it, since you have already used it, and because of this, you have made a great contribution in front of the prince of Youyan, then invite me to eat a few good meals, and it will be considered forgiveness! β
Qiu Yizhi hurriedly responded a few times, then turned back to Jin Deqiang and Cheng Yan and continued: "As the young lady Fang Cai said, I was a subordinate who helped Prince Youyan do things, and at that time he used a plan to rescue Marshal Dai Luanxiang from the two of them. Isn't Marshal Dai now sitting in the military department to rectify the army? β
When Jin Deqiang heard this, he was stunned and couldn't speak.
Cheng Yan on the side sighed and said: "The villain had thought that there was something strange about it, but I didn't expect to fall for the son's clever plan!" Alas! This...... This is also fate! With that, tears were already soaking his eyes.
Qiu Yizhi saw that these two people were originally shouting and drinking, and living in eight seats, but because they were so depressed now, they inevitably felt a little guilty in their hearts, so they said: "Although they were their own masters back then, they were too vicious after all, so that the two of them fell here. However, the prince of Youyan is merciful, all wounded sergeants, regardless of the enemy, I have a pension, the two of you only need to go to the military department to report, why bother to take food from the beggars here? β
Cheng Yan sighed: "Childe, I don't know anything. Prince Youyan is indeed benevolent, even if he persuades people in the good division, as long as he confesses honestly, he is not to blame in the past. However, both of us were the backbone of the Quanshan Division, and we offended Marshal Dai back then. Now that Marshal Dai has regained power, how can he spare us? β
Jin Deqiang on the side was already in tears, and said to Qiu Yizhi: "Since Childe is the person who can talk to Prince Youyan, then please report to Childe." said that the people who practiced Marshal Dai were all surnamed Jin, but Brother Cheng had a bit of a sense of preservation. The surname Jin is willing to pay for one life and one life, in exchange for the prince to pardon Brother Cheng. I also hope that the prince will tell the prince these words for me for the sake of talking to me at the beginning! After that, Jin Deqiang lay on the ground and kowtowed countless times like a chicken pecking rice.
Seeing this, Cheng Yan hurriedly supported him and said, "We are all brothers in distress now, why did Brother Jin say this life?" After all, his eyes were full of tears.
Yi Ran, who was watching from the sidelines, was a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, and seeing that the two of them were very pitiful, he pulled Qiu Yizhi's sleeve and said softly: "You can help them, but it's just a gesture." β
Qiu Yizhi also felt that these two people, although they acted for the tiger and did a lot of bad things for Zheng Yao, they were also temperamental people, not heinous people, so he said with a smile: "The two of them are just doing things for Zheng Yao, and they can't help themselves." Prince Youyan is naturally magnanimous, and Marshal Dai is not a person with a small belly. I don't think it's a big deal, and I don't need to bother the prince, as long as I go to the military department to make a guarantee, the two of you will have a support for the rest of your life. β
Cheng Yan and Jin Deqiang saw that Qiu Yizhi was only in his twenties, but his tone of voice was not small; But after thinking about it again, Prince Youyan can hand over such an extremely important matter as rescuing Dai Luanxiang to him, and he must not be in vain when he speaks......
While the two were still looking at each other, Qiu Yizhi had already beckoned one or two ox carts, asked the coachman to carry the two of them to sit on the board, and then went to the military headquarters.
The group walked through the streets and alleys, and soon arrived at the yamen of the military department.
King Youyan rectified the soldiers and horses of the whole country, as the center of the organ of this matter, the Yamen of the Ministry of War, naturally guarded tightly, and the entrances and exits of the Yamen were all deployed with elite soldiers and strong generals, holding sharp blades and spears to stand guard and sentry without moving, and there was a team of soldiers patrolling back and forth from time to time, which seemed very strict.
Where had Cheng Yan and Jin Deqiang seen such a scene, they sat on the ox cart and said: "The kindness of the son, I understand the two of them." But...... But the gate of this military department is not so easy to enter, it is better to ...... Why don't you go back like this......"
Qiu Yizhi was confident, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I have acquaintances here, don't be impatient!" As he spoke, he took the county lord Yiran and went to the gate of the military headquarters.
The gatekeeper was really serious and responsible, and when he saw this man and woman going straight to the yamen, he hurriedly stretched out his spear, stopped Qiu Yizhi and Yiran, and shouted: "The military department is heavy, and idlers are not allowed to enter!" Why are you two here? β
Qiu Yizhi replied: "I heard that Marshal Dai Luanxiang Dai is in charge of the military department, and he is an old man of the marshal, and he needs to ask for help in some small matters. I don't know if I can bother this little brother to go in and say goodbye? β
The gatekeeper looked at Qiu Yi and said, "You are quite well-informed, and Marshal Dai is reading things in the yamen today." If you want to see the marshal, you must have a name, otherwise how can I go in and report? β
