In the dead of night, the moonlight is like silver threads.

The city was heavily guarded, with patrols at important street entrances checking the occasional passer-by, and the houses were dimly lit and often lit with oil lamps, but it was women who were weaving.

In the streets and alleys, there are watchmen carrying small lanterns and banging gongs or bangzi.

Yang Qi of the county guard was in the study, thinking about things.

In front of him, there was an object, which was put away in a brocade box, and he was considering whether to give it away.

Yang Qi didn't want to tear his face directly with the empire and directly claim the king, Jiang Feng, Tai Yuanyi and Xie Yan were all talking, hinting at a compromise with the empire.

Xie Yan also went directly to the book, talking about the disadvantages of being the king, saying that he had someone in the court who could talk about it, and he also recommended his clansman Xie Chenguang.

After a long time, Yang Qi understood that it was impossible for the empire to directly crown the king and recruit peace, but he still made up his mind, called in a personal guard, and said: "This is the recital I submitted to the imperial court, you can quickly send someone to send it to Xie Chenguang, there must be no mistake." ”

"No." Although he was curious about what was written in the recital, this man knew everything and bowed his head and only complied.

After retreating, he found a team of fifty people, handed over this item to the team, and ordered them to set off immediately and send it to Xie Chenguang, who would present the recital to the imperial court.

Xie Chenguang was originally sent by the empire to supervise the army, but now he is in name only, although he has the official position of the empire.

Although he has no real name, he still owes it to deal with the imperial court.

The royal capital of the empire

Prime Minister Wei Wendao drove back to the house, and when he arrived at the door, the guards were already kneeling in a row and half, welcoming him back.

Wei Wendao ignored this, got out of the car, walked through the front garden, walked to a room in the back, sat down on a large chair, and took a breath.

At this time, a servant stepped in and said with a smile: "Master, are you tired, you slept late last night, is it time for dinner?" ”

In this world, meal just refers to "meal", which can be used by ordinary people.

Wei Wendao's eyes shone brightly, and he got up and said, "Let Jia Ming, Jia Yushi call, I want to use it with him." ”

As he spoke, he went out, and when he got outside, he felt a chill on his body, and the rain was hazy outside, and the rain was fluttering with the breeze, and fell on the clothes from time to time.

But after a while, Wei Wendao arrived in the room and saw Jia Ming come out: "Come, follow me." ”

Wei Wendao said slowly: "Jia Yushi, what do you think of Yang Qi now?" ”

Jia Ming didn't take the words immediately, looked up, and walked to a bench in the nearby corridor, both of them sat down, Jia Ming sighed leisurely.

"Yang Qi raided Yanchuan County, and won several big victories, the Xie family surrendered, the Du family was destroyed, the overall situation of Yanchuan County has been decided, unless Du Ying comes back from the dead, no one can be defeated"

"Well, in the past few years, there has been continuous civil strife in the empire, and chaos has gradually abounded."

Jia Ming looked around and said in a low voice: "The imperial court is declining day by day, and all parts of the country are ready to move, but Yanchuan has the danger of mountains, and Longcheng Pavilion is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is even more difficult to get out of it, but because of this, the successive dynasties established in Yanchuan are all not enterprising, and often go to a corner to protect themselves." ”

"Closed? Lock-off? Wei Wendao frowned and asked.

"Yanchuan County is closed, surrounded by traps, and its army is difficult to come out, so once someone becomes the king of Yanchuan, it is often affected by geography, even if it is ambitious, it is inevitable to breed the heart of enjoyment, and do not want to forge ahead, even if the initial impact is not large, but its army is difficult to come out, so it is difficult to compete with others, and it is often difficult to defeat the surrounding area, once the initial battle is lost, it is difficult to have the courage to go out of Sichuan."

"Therefore, the decline of his army's momentum has become a fixed situation, even if the hero does not want to forge ahead, it is difficult to break through, and it seems that Yang Qi is very important, but his choice of Yanchuan County may not be a good thing." Jia Ming said.

Wei Wendao listened to it and was silently in his heart, worthy of being his mastermind, and discussed the strategic direction with Jia Ming many times to inspire his thoughts.

"Prime Minister, if Yang Qi wants to be king, why don't the empire go with the flow and promise him."

Hearing Jia Ming's words, Wei Wendao's body moved, and he seemed to be a little moved.

"Hehe, it is worthy of Jia Yushi, he is very intelligent, Yang Qi wants to be the king? Although the empire can't stop him now, it can't just let him be sincere! ”

Jia Ming nodded and said, "It should be so, at least let him pay a little price." ”

At this time, Wei Wendao and Jia Ming had dinner together, and then they were busy processing official documents, batch after batch.

Xie Chenguang was at the inn at this time.

Although he is an imperial official, since the prison army is useless at this time, this official is meaningless, and he returns to Zhongdu to return to Zhongdu, and he doesn't even have an official residence, so he has to live in an inn with grievances.

Now it is the imperial capital, all of them are available, but they are also prosperous, Xie Chenguang and his nephew Xie Nan are not very generous, they just chartered a suite, the boss gave two guys, carried the luggage, served the meal, boiled a large bucket of hot water, and sent it to the room.

Xie Chenguang rested in the house for a while at this time, half-lying on the quilt at random, took out a book, and was reading it, when suddenly, there was a sound outside, and Xie Nan came back angrily.

Xie Chenguang motioned to sit down and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Father, you see, the imperial court rejected the big handsome's recital, and even reprimanded him for being a traitor!"

"What?" Xie Chenguang's surprise was not trivial, he stood up and walked around the room.

"Uncle, what should I do?" Xie Nan asked with a blank eye.

Xie Chenguang put on his shoes and walked out of the door, and he didn't speak, the guy in front of the store had already seen it, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Guest officer, what do you want?" ”

Xie Chenguang looked at the dense stars in the sky, smiled indifferently and said, "Come out and breathe the wind!" ”

As he spoke, he took his nephew, took a step, turned his feet and went out of the second door.

There were about twenty rooms next to each other in this inn house, and there were not many rooms, and at this time there were several guests in the rooms who were gambling and shouting and drinking, and a few of them were drinking alone in the room, with the door open.

Outside, the streets were prosperous, people came and went, and after watching for a while, Xie Chenguang sighed and said: "Although Liang Yuan is good, it is not a place to live for a long time!" ”

Xie Nan's mouth squirmed, but he didn't say anything, and after waiting for a while, Xie Chenguang said, "I've resigned from the imperial court!" ”

"What?" Xie Nan's surprise was not trivial.

"Our Xie family has also been in Yanchuan County for thirty years, and the official of this prison army is not interesting, neither trusted by the empire nor trusted by the marshal, these are the two ends of the first rat."

"I didn't get the will of the court this time, I'm afraid that we won't need to be an official who runs errands back and forth in the future, speaking of which, if we come back now, can we really be an official?"

"It's been thirty years, and this homeland is really the homeland, and there are no more favored families."

"It's better to resign from the official position of the court now, and concentrate on being a handsome official in the future, maybe it will come to work from time to time, and it will have a future."

Hearing this, Xie Nan couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked, "Then what should I do next?" ”

"What else can I do? Truthfully tell the reaction of the marshal court. ”

"In this case, the marshal will definitely tear face with the empire." Xie Nan muttered, "Uncle, what else?" ”

"Also, the marshal doesn't obey the order at all, and he doesn't want the approval of the imperial court, he directly approves himself, and the empire has the ability to quell the rebellion?" Xie Chenguang said with a sneer.

"Uncle, then you say, which one will the handsome choose?"

"Hmph, I'm afraid that there are too many self-appointed, so I said, if the officials of this empire can't be self-appointed, in what name should we stay in the town?"

"But the empire ......" Xie Nan always had some minds.

"The empire can't count on it, the empire approves it, and it still leaves some face and righteousness, and if it doesn't approve it now, it's forcing it to rebel...... The emperor doesn't know, doesn't Prime Minister Wei know? ”

"If Wei Wendao still needs the face of the imperial court, why don't you maintain it? Seeing this, Wei Wendao had already made up his mind, so he didn't cherish the face of the court. ”

"What is the use of such a court when we come back?" When Xie Chenguang said this, although his tone was agitated, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

The empire is in complete decline.
