Chapter 163: Establishment of the King (1)
In the blink of an eye, another month passed, and Yandu City was located in the plain, and the weather was humid and cool.
On the streets, which had completely restored their former prosperity, and every family had gone out to do business and earn a living, a young scholar of twenty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a blue robe and a pair of two-toothed clogs on his feet, was neat and neat.
The young man walked along the street with his retinue, and saw only on both sides of the road, full of streets and alleys, and shops everywhere.
Butcher shops, jewelry shops, ready-to-wear shops, jade shops, tea shops, embroidery shops, coffin shops, all of them, and on the streets, crowds of people are constantly bustling with people.
The young man looked at it and sighed, "It's prosperous again!" ”
"Yang Jun's military discipline is good, this city is not a hard attack, and the pacification can be regarded as effective, so it has only been half a month, and it has already returned to the past."
The young man secretly said that he also knew the news of Yandu City that it was the first time that there were killings in one day and one night, and there were few in the future, and after the blood dispersed, the people were naturally no longer afraid.
As the chill grew, most of the shops that had been closed for a few days were reopened.
The few people continued to walk, and suddenly the street became bright, and the street suddenly became open.
The street extends straight out from the middle, there are ten meters wide, all are bluestone paved roads, people go back and forth, the bustle is still the same, but there are a lot of carriages, and the pedestrians do not have the feeling of being down, it can be seen at a glance that this is the place where the rich and noble people go to and fro.
When the young man entered, he saw a few patrolmen glancing at him and passing by.
Not far away, there is a silk shop.
In the summer and autumn, most of the big families have to add some suitable clothes, even ordinary people, whose families are a little richer, will buy one or two new clothes.
Walk to a silk shop, divided into upstairs and downstairs, people in and out of the crowd is very lively, the young scholar went in to see, it is clear, it turns out that the bottom is the general satin, there is also twill silk, but the top is higher fine silk.
After watching quietly for a while, the young scholar realized that these children of big families were too depressed some time ago, and now they are frightened, and spending money is like flowing water, as if they are using the act of selling money to celebrate the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.
After waiting for a while, finally, the store dispersed a lot, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and now in the lobby, I saw a group of people coming in, choosing silk.
The demeanor of this young scholar is not an ordinary person, and he has to be entertained.
It's just that I've been in Yandu City for all these years, and I don't dare to say that I know all the children of big families, but the children of famous big families have dealt with each other, but I haven't seen this person, could it be that he is a guest from other places?
Thinking about it, the shopkeeper was a little uncertain about the identity of the person in front of him.
Just thinking about it, when he saw the young man in the middle, he put down a colored satin in his hand and said, "This one is wanted!" ”
"Thank you, officer, three, two, four dollars." The shopkeeper said, revealing a hint of joy.
The young gentleman asked again: "Can the shopkeeper know the convoy that has passed in time?" ”
His voice was a little hoarse, although it was an inquiry, it naturally carried a kind of majesty, as soon as he heard his question, the shopkeeper immediately sank in his heart, this person is definitely not an ordinary person.
After listening to the inquiry, the shopkeeper looked outside the store and saw several cars passing in front of his shop.
Unlike horse-drawn carriages, the vehicles of the past were pulled by wood, and it was very precious wood. = The shopkeeper looked at him twice, and said: "The guest officer asked people, the convoy in the past, how many times in the past few days on this street, I heard that it is the Xie family's convoy that transports suitable timber to the county guard's mansion." ”
After a pause, he said, "I heard that it was the construction of the burned down county guard's mansion." ”
None of this is confidential, but after saying that, the shopkeeper won't say anything more.
"Xie family?" The young man was stunned for a moment, the color of his face remained unchanged, and he ordered a few selected satins, asked the shopkeeper to wrap them, and went out with his entourage.
The carriage went and closed the door, and the young man frowned: "The Xie family's strength is really increasing instead of decreasing, buying precious timber and building a county guard?" Or is it building a royal palace!? ”
Before he finished speaking, he sighed in his heart, this trip to Yandu City Mansion was still at the order of the Imperial City Division.
The war had only ended here, but the imaginary depression scene did not appear in front of him, which made him feel awe-inspired.
"Young Master, are we going out of the city, or are we staying in the city?" Seeing that the day was a little late, an attendant approached the window of the carriage and whispered outside.
"Let's find an inn, it's rare to come here, naturally we have to see more, and let our people in the city come to contact me."
"Yes!"
At this moment, the carriage passed through the area of the county guard, and the street passed was not very long, and there was only a moment, but at this moment, you could see the south wall of the county guard.
There is a post along the south wall, and groups of soldiers are patrolling, which is awe-inspiring.
Seeing this, the young man couldn't help but smile bitterly and found a hotel to live in.
This store is a hotel with a courtyard, a hotel in the front building, and a guest room in the back building, first on the second floor, where there are seven or eight tables separated by screens.
I ordered a few dishes, and in a blink of an eye, I served a few, carp, stewed chicken, fried mushrooms, spiced peanuts, and roasted tofu in clear sauce, exuding a light fragrance and making people salivate.
The young gentleman ate a bowl of rice, put down his chopsticks and went down, and at this time, there was already a follower who got out of the guest room.
When the group entered the house, they saw that the courtyard was paved with clear bricks, and there were a few ginkgo trees in the yard, which were thick and embracable, and the crown was tall, and the house was inside.
The young man opened the door and lit the lamp, and the young man looked at it, and saw that it was indeed clean and spotless, and he was very satisfied, and when the man washed his face and scalded his feet, he washed the feet of the young man, and the young man gave him a silver horn and said, "I have a guest to come later, and you lead me in." ”
"Yes, Childe." With a smile on his face, the guy took it and went out.
There was not much time for the sky to get dark, a bright moon gradually rose, through the shadows of the trees, the soft moonlight sprinkled down, the young man put on his shoes, walked in the yard, looked up at the moon.
At this time, a follower came over and whispered, "Young master, someone is here." ”
When the young man entered the house, he saw a middle-aged man who had attracted him kowtowing and saluting.
The young scholar said lightly: "Get up, don't be formal, tell me about the situation!" ”
After looking at it intently, I saw that this person was a middle-aged man, and when he heard this, he responded: "Yes!" ”
After a pause, he said: "Young master, there was a mutiny in Yandu City in the city, and Yang Qi entered the city, and it is said that all the demoted generals will be used in situ. ”
"Oh, that's bold, maybe no one has to use it."
The young man moved slightly, and then asked, "Is there any other news?" ”
"Yang Qi gathered many craftsmen to open and repair the county guard's mansion, which was originally normal, but later the villain inquired that it was not the opening part, but completely in accordance with the specifications of the palace, and all of them were activated."
Hearing this, the young scholar was shocked.
Yang Qi wants to take this palace into ownership, does he just want to be the king?
At that moment, he asked, "Could it be that this man wants to be king?" ”
"I didn't call the king, I inquired about the news, and finally got an approval, it is said that Yang Qi wants to be the king!"
"King!" A cold light flashed in the young man's eyes, and his face turned pale.
You must know that the empire has not had many kings with different surnames since the founding of the country, and Yang Qi's self-appointed official position is not uncommon, and he is barely a courtier.
"The villain also inquired that the Xie family was transporting valuable timber and had already repaired the palace and was waiting to be used for the throne."
The young man raised his glass and took a sip of tea, his eyes jumped, he stared at the man without saying a word, and pondered in his heart.
"Yang Qi proclaimed himself the king and built the palace, but he was against it and didn't even cover it up, which is obviously a sign of building the country, it seems that this person is very ambitious, but looking at the entire Yanchuan County, there is no one to control now."
The young scholar pondered for a moment, and then asked, "This Yang Qi is so undisguised, the entire Yanchuan County must know about it, what do you have to say?" ”
"Young master, after Yang Qi's move, many people in Yanchuan County have discussed this matter, and some people are very dissatisfied with this move, saying that they have no king and no father, but if they really track it down, most of the people who are talking about it are ordinary scholars, and the big families are either silent or agree."
"Of course, there are also people who sing praises of virtue." The man said carefully.
"Overall?" The young man asked.
"Young master, overall, it can only be said that the overall situation has been decided, but young master, the city has been under tight investigation recently, young master should not stay longer, go out of the city tomorrow, if you stay too long, you will be monitored." The man then said persuasively.
The young scholar frowned, opened his eyes in a blink of an eye, and said, "You are right, you continue to stay here, pay attention to the situation in the capital during this time, I will leave tomorrow morning." ”
This information is not worth mentioning compared to one's own family name and family interests.
And collecting intelligence is not what you should do, so why waste time and risk?
After this person retreated, the young man went out, and walked in the courtyard again, looking at the bright moon in the sky, but in half a month, this Yandu City, this Yanchuan Sifu was pacified, this Yang Qi is really a hero, if possible, I really want to meet this person...... However, this day will not be long.
In this current situation, the whole county of Yanchuan County has fallen, I am afraid that it will not be too far away, of course, when the empire stabilizes, when the time comes, there will naturally be a chance to meet.
The young man shook his hand, his eyes shining coldly.
