Ran over to stop the carriage of Xun, and he was really an old man - he was a colleague of Shiyi when he was in Beihai that day, first guarding the Gaomi Order, and then serving as the Jiaodong Order, Yingling Wang Xiu Wang Shuzhi, and now under the command of Yuan Tan, the assassin of Qingzhou, he is engaged in governance. From Shiyi's side, Wang Xiu is Xun's elder, and his son Prince Wang Zhong is purely with Xun's peers, so Xun wants to call him "prince".

Shi Xun entered Qingzhou under the banner of an angel, he didn't plan to hide it from people at that time, and with so many people passing through other people's borders, it was not so easy to hide his identity, so Yuan Tan quickly got the news. Although the imperial court sent an envoy to recruit Zheng Xuan not once or twice, Zheng Xuan always refused to obey his orders, Yuan Tan did not need to worry, but this time it was different from the previous times, don't drive Liu Xianfeng advised: "It is Hongfu who is the world's eloquent and eloquent, there are Su, Zhang's mouth, Kuai, Li's tongue, the former in Yecheng, Zhongzhi (Xin Commentary), Zhengnan (trial), etc. This time, the Son of Heaven sent him to Qingqing, or he can say that Zheng Kangcheng will be moved, and he must be guarded against. ”

Yuan Tan himself didn't have any ideas, so on the one hand, he sent someone to report to Yecheng urgently and ask his father for countermeasures, and on the other hand, he sent Wang Xiu in Zhizhong to let him act at the opportunity. Wang Xiu arrived in Gaomi during the day yesterday, he had been in this county for many years, and he had a wide range of contacts, so he quickly inquired clearly, saying that Zheng Xuan had agreed to go out of the mountain, and the disciples of Zheng Sect were packing up. Wang Xiu's surprise was not trivial, and he hurriedly ran to the door to dissuade Zheng Xuan, but was blocked by Xi Xuan and others on the pretext that Mr. was old and in poor health, so he went to bed early and blocked the drive. Wang Xiu refused to give up, went back to rest for the night, and ran over again before dawn, but only arrived at Zheng's house. He was taken aback.

It turned out that Xi was thinking about following Shixun's plan. Send the disciples out of the city. Go to the county seat and nearby townships to spread the news that Zheng Xuan is about to leave the mountain and go to the imperial court to serve as the chief farmer, saying that the angel will come early tomorrow morning to announce the edict. The scholars in the county, as well as the people nearby, all admired Zheng Xuan's fame and thanked Zheng Xuan's kindness. So they all converged. Like a stream of rivers converging. Wang Xiutian arrived at Zheng's house as soon as it was hazy, but at that time, the courtyard was already three floors inside and three floors outside, crowded with people. After Wang Xiuxin finished speaking, he was afraid that he would not be able to stop Zheng Xuan.

His original plan was to persuade Zheng Xuan to stay in Gaomi, and second, to send troops to isolate Zheng Xuan and Shixun and prevent the edict. But in today's situation, Zheng Xuan has agreed, and the news has been spread. Then there is a nine-in-a-nine chance that persuasion will not be effective - can the dignified Mr. Zheng Kangcheng go back on his word in front of everyone? What if we send troops to block it? There were so many scholars and people gathered. If one is not done well, it will lead to a civil uprising, and when the time comes, not only will Zheng Xuan not be stopped, but the prestige of the Yuan family will be greatly damaged.

However, Wang Xiu didn't suspect Shi Xun, he just thought: "Under the Zheng family, if there are strange people, if you can be in charge of my master, why worry about Qingzhou not being prosperous and the Yuan family not prospering?" "It's just that although Wang Xiu is a generation of famous ministers, he is not a resourceful genius, and he can't come up with any good ways for a while. He had no choice but to hold on to the hope of what happened, begged to see Zheng Xuan, and persuaded him politely—of course, to no avail—and then when Shixun came, he wanted to go up and make friends first, and obstructed Shixun from reading the edict. After all, there is no way out.

But Wang Xiu didn't expect that Shi Xun would glare at him fiercely and said, "Those who dare to obstruct the edict of the Son of Heaven are disrespectful, and they should be beheaded!" Because he was afraid of causing a misunderstanding and causing a civil uprising, he didn't dare to bring the soldiers into the courtyard, and they were all scattered outside. At the moment, Wang Shuzhi was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold, and he was forced to retreat temporarily.

In fact, Wang Xiu is not a timid person, when he was guarding the high secret order, he once personally led people to rush into Haoqiang Sun's house to search for criminals, and later took office as the commander of Jiaodong County, almost alone broke into the village of Qiangzong Gongsha and killed the Gongsha brothers. But at that time, he had a righteous qi in his chest to support, and he had nothing to fear if he put life and death out of the way; But now it's different, it's a crime to stop the angel, it's Xun Zhen who wants to kill him, that's right, Wang Xiu has always pretended to be a righteous man and a gentleman, how can he be willing to die with the stigma of a criminal?

If Shi Xun hadn't been quite familiar with Wang Xiu, and knew what kind of person he was, if he had changed to a guy who was unruly and didn't take the court law in his eyes, he might not have dared to do this, and it was estimated that he would have to make his eyes look at Sun Wen before he could be ruthless - what if he couldn't be caught? Then I had to find another solution.

But Shi Xun didn't plan to really force Wang Xiu to be anxious, let alone officially tear his face with the Yuan family, so he finally completed the edict ceremony, and after Zheng Xuan took the edict, he put down a smile on his face and apologized to Wang Xiudao. He said that I have the responsibility of the imperial court, and I must first be public and then private, and I ask the prince to add more seas.

Wang Xiu was a little crying and laughing, and said in his heart that I haven't seen him for a few years, it's Hongfu, you are really good, it seems that the legend of Yecheng's retreat from the sages is really true. At this time, Zheng Xuan had already received the edict, and Wang Xiu couldn't think about it-he didn't have the authority yet, so he could turn his face with the Xuchang court - so he had to delay it for a moment first, and then said to Shi Xun with a smirk: "What is it?" I haven't seen Hongfu for a long time, Yin Yin is eager to wait, I am in a gaffe, I stopped the angel's car, there was a first, what is Hongfu's crime? Now that the edict has been completed, and the official business is over, it is better to go to the city with a certain person, you and I can say goodbye - Uncle Zun is okay? The youngest son, Chun (Wang Zhong), also misses Hongfu for a long time and is about to meet Qing. ”

In fact, Wang Zhong was still serving Yuan Tan in Linzi at this time, and he was not in Gaomi County at all, Wang Xiu was talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Wang Xiu smirked, it was Xun who smiled more fakely than he - there are pretended smiles in the world, and there are also pretended smirks, and it was Xun who deliberately smirked to show Wang Xiu - "What did the prince say?" Although the edict is completed, the mission of Xun has not yet ended, and Zheng Sinong must be welcomed to Xudu, the Son of Heaven will be restored, and the official business will be completed. Don't work for the prince to send him off, Xun is going to set off with Zheng Sinong, and we will meet again in the future. As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Xi Wei, "Is everything ready to be cleaned up?" ”

Xi Wei smiled faintly: "Let's go." At that moment, he helped Zheng Xuan to the car. Lu Su hurriedly jumped out of the car, helped the disciples of the Zheng Sect, and helped Zheng Xuan into the carriage.

Wang Xiu wanted to delay any longer, but saw Shi Xun squeezing him deeply, then turned around and jumped into the car briskly. Standing beside Zheng Xuan. Raise your left hand in the air. Said loudly: "Zheng Sinong's moral knowledge is the crown of the world, and now that he has been called to the capital, it is expected that the war will end, and you will usher in a peaceful and prosperous era!" If you don't kneel down to send Zheng Sinong, when will you wait?! As he spoke, he patted Sun Wen's shoulder with his other hand, Sun Wen understood, and immediately pulled his throat and shouted Shi Xun's words again.

On and off the field. Now they all heard it clearly, except for Wang Xiu and the disciples of Zhengmen, no matter whether it was scholars, gentry, or ordinary people, they all knelt down and shouted: "Congratulations to Zheng Sinong!" Wang Xiu was still stunned, but Xun smiled at him: "Prince, please kneel and send." "Let's not say that Zheng Xuan is an old-timer who reads, he is now a great farmer and one of the Jiuqing. Middle 2,000 stones, may I ask how many stones are in your Uncle Wang's rank? Zheng Sinong is leaving. How dare you not kneel down and send it off?

Wang Xiu was really full of grievances and no one to confide in, and as soon as his knees were weak on the spot, he had to kneel. Fortunately, his brain turned quite fast, and he just bent his legs, but he quickly straightened up again, and arched his hand: "On the order of Yuan Envoy, I sent the prince out of Qingqing." "This" is not the other "send", Wang Xiu means, I have to send you all the way to the junction of Qing and Yan, we are not separated, so I won't kneel first.

It was Xun Xin who said that it is up to you whether you kneel or not, and it is up to you whether you send it or not - I can't stop it and there is no reason to stop it - but you can't do it if you want to delay time, and then he smiled slightly: "So, there is Prince Lao." It's just that the Son of Heaven is eager for Zheng Sinong, like the hope of a great drought, and he can't delay at all, so Xun is going to set off with Zheng Sinong. He patted Sun Wen on the shoulder again, and Sun Wen immediately shook the reins, circled the carriage, and headed straight to the west. Behind the Zhengmen disciples, the carts of the carts, the bags of the bags, hurriedly followed, and Wang Xiu was left stunned, but he was helpless.

Shi Xun and the others traveled all the way west, and it was not long before Wang Xiu gathered the soldiers near the Zhengjiachang courtyard and chased after them from behind. It was Xun who looked at those Qingzhou soldiers, about seventy or eighty people, and then looked at the Han army around him - in fact, it should be Cao Jun, and said in his heart that no matter the quantity or quality, you are not a child. Whatever, if you want to follow, just follow along.

Shi Xun and Zheng Xuan's chariots were at the forefront, escorted by Lu Su and Cao Jun, followed by a large group of Zheng disciples—except for some Gaomi locals who were attached to Xiangzi, most of whom were willing to go to Xudu with their teachers—and then Wang Xiu and Qingzhou soldiers. The disciples of Zhengmen had carts, some carried bags, and there were not a few animals in total, so the marching speed was not fast, and the Qingzhou soldiers were blocked behind, and they were even more tired. It took a lot of effort for Wang Xiu to finally ride through the crowd and catch up with the carriage in front.

Zheng Xuan sat in the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, deliberately ignoring Wang Xiu, Wang Xiu had no choice but to talk to Shi Xun. Shi Xun dealt with it without a match, nothing more than telling each other about the situation after saying goodbye, but intentionally or unintentionally, he found out the situation in Qingzhou in the past two years.

On the evening of the same day, staying in a pavilion, Shixun and Zheng Xuan both had official bodies and could stay in the pavilion, he ordered Sun Wen to lead the soldiers to cover outside, and then there were dense Zhengmen disciples outside, and the Qingzhou soldiers were crowded in the outermost circle. Although Wang Xiu squeezed into the pavilion, but now, he can't come up with any tricks to stop Zheng Xuan, and he can't even slow down the trip - the disciples of the Zheng Sect are already walking quite slowly, why, the Qingzhou soldiers want to go even slower? Whatever, anyway, the people in front of you won't stop and wait for you.

And it is Xun on the way, only living in Chuanchuan, Pavilion, and then not into the county seat, although Wang Xiu temporarily transferred two or three hundred soldiers from Chang'an and Anqiu counties, but after all, they are just ordinary soldiers, and if they really want to fight, they have no certainty of winning. Besides, Wang Xiu didn't dare to really do it—after all, he had neither a righteous name nor Yuan Tan's instructions.

Seeing that you can enter the border of Qi country, there is a place called "Santing" in front, stay for another night, set off the next day, and you can step into Laiwu County, Taishan Country of Yanzhou in the afternoon at the latest. In other words, Wang Xiu must resign at the latest and must "kneel" Zheng Sinong. He was so anxious in his heart, and said that he had already sent someone to send a letter to Linzi, but haven't you come up with a countermeasure?

The east of the three pavilions is plain, the west is gradually higher, the hills on both sides of the road are extended, and the road is also bent to the northwest because of the hills, and forty miles away is into the Yanzhou border. Not long after leaving the next day, Lu Su pointed from a distance and said casually: "This is a good place for ambush soldiers to hinder us from waiting." ”

Before the words fell, I suddenly heard a commotion in front of me, and then someone came to report: "Thieves blocking the road!" "It's Xun Xin who said, this Mr. Lu Zijing is still a crow's mouth! (To be continued......)

PS: Today's shift, because there is a bit of a private matter before and after dinner, so it was sent out in advance.
