Chapter 497: Asked

The postman in the roadside inn yawned and opened the door of the inn.

When there are no big names or caravans visiting, there is not much to do in the inn, especially in the morning, which is usually very quiet.

This morning was fine, two days ago, Master Tianguang's guard of honor passed through here, and spent the night, and the master was merciful, and did not ask him to do anything all night, and left the next day.

After opening the door, it was cleaned as usual.

First, go to the backyard and add fodder and water to a few horses in the posthouse in case they need it.

The postman carried two bundles of grass into the backyard, but this time he was stunned, what about the horses in the backyard that can usually be seen as soon as he enters the backyard? Where did it go? Yichen stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and then looked at it fixedly: still no! What about horses?

No one replied.

Yichen turned his head and looked around, a little puzzled. This is good, where did the horse go? He stayed in the inn, and made sure that he heard no movement, not even the sound of horses. The backyard door was closed, and there was no sign of opening, except that the horse was gone, and there was not even a sound.

The post minister's eyes were straight, and he couldn't believe it. There is no sign of messy breaking free in this backyard, as if the horse obediently followed someone else.

Thinking of this possibility, the postman had only one reaction: what a joke! Horses are animals, not people, how can they obediently obey people? But why did you leave inexplicably?

As soon as the postman looked up, he noticed something shaking in front of him.

What is it? Caught in the eye? The postman raised his hand to cover his eyes, and then noticed that something on the stake that looked like a hairpin had a bag of things nailed to the stake.

Pulling out the hairpin, the poster took it in his hand and pinched it, and then put it in his mouth and took a bite.

It seems like...... Is it a silver hairpin? It was this silver hairpin that caught his eyes. And the contents of the bag were heavy, a bag of silver, and it looked like there was a lot. Along with the silver was a note.

"The horse was bought, and the extra money was overwhelmed."

Oh, my God...... Someone really got rid of it! How did the horse behave? The postman scratched the back of his head and said he was puzzled, but these silver taels can buy four or five horses, and if you count it, it will not be a loss, so he will not ask anymore, people will be very tired if they live too clearly, so it will be good.

Yichen shook his hand and saw it clearly.

Two people appeared on the official road, one pulled a horse and walked on the official road, the horse was loaded with a lot of water and dry food, and when they walked on the official road, the two jumped on the horse's back, and clamped the horse's belly, both of them were good at the horse, and the two galloped away with a whip.

……

……

I have only drunk water twice in the middle of the morning when I heard the sunset, which was actually very uncomfortable. Even if the officials of the DPRK and China do not say that they are rich and rich, they have no worries about food and clothing, and this kind of starvation has to sit and listen to Master Tianguang talk in the clouds and fog, and I don't know what the master himself can understand, which is not a pleasant thing.

The hall was silent, but in fact, no one had the strength to do superfluous things.

Speaking of sunset, it was finally over, Master Tianguang was the first to leave the table, then Emperor Mingzong, and finally the civil and military officials, the hundred officials got up, and the sound of the rubbing of the robes of the sorrowful Suosuo started, and they withdrew from the Jinluan Palace.

Pei Xingting, the left minister, and Qiao Huan, the right minister, are politicians with different political views above the court, and they will smile and say a few official words after they go to the court, but today, they really don't have the strength to play the official tone, nodded slightly, and left.

It's not a pleasant thing to be old, hungry all day, still sitting like this, not moving, and a handful of old bones are about to fall apart.

"It's hard for Master Tianguang to say that it's been so long." An elderly official sighed secretly, but he didn't dare to say more, didn't he say that Master Tianguang was deadly at this time?

But it's a toss-up!

When he walked out of the imperial city, many people looked at them with envy, and when they returned home, they even asked their relatives.

……

……

Left Prime Minister's House.

Pei Xingting, who had just gotten off the carriage, was stopped.

Pei Xianzhi and Pei Jizhi had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw him get out of the sedan chair, they hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Pei Xianzhi quickly asked: "Third uncle, what did Master Tianguang say?" Can there be a mention of ......"

"Let the old man rest, don't let the old man rest, the old man's bones are about to scatter!" Pei Xingting rolled his eyelids and muttered, "I really can't stand it." ”

Fortunately, at this time, the subordinate had been sent down by Pei Xianzhi.

The two of them supported Pei Xingting to the back room one left and one right, and when they sat down in the middle of the house, Pei Xianzhi hurriedly served a cup of hot tea: "Third uncle, drink tea!" ”

After taking a sip of tea, Pei Xingting's fatigue decreased slightly, and then he sighed: "It's really killing my old bone." ”

Pei Xianzhi was puzzled: "Third uncle, why are you so tired after listening to Master Tianguang's speech?" ”

"Second brother, this is really funny." Pei Jizhi glanced at him, as if he was playing with his fingers, and laughed twice when he heard the words, "The old monk has been talking for a day, and the third uncle has been sitting down for a day, and his feet have long been numb, and he can't eat except for water, otherwise it is disrespectful to Master Tianguang, who can stand such a rule?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Pei Xianzhi glared at him, "Master Tianguang is my Great Chu National Teacher, not to be underestimated!" ”

"Great Chu National Teacher?" Pei Jizhi shrugged his shoulders, as if he was smiling, "Our family also has it, the Great Chu National Master sounds amazing, and he is actually an ordinary person." Those so-called national ancestry in the clouds and fog, maybe they themselves can't understand it. ”

"Ji Zhi, I'll have to say this again in the future." Pei Xingting breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two people in front of him, "Talking behind closed doors, my Pei family has lived in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River for so many years, why do they have a chance to get ahead?" ”

"The right time, the right place, and the right people." Pei Xianzhi hurriedly said, "The third uncle has learned the origin, he has been prepared, and he has waited for many years to wait for this opportunity, which coincided with Cheng Lisheng's accident, there is no one in the court who can be the left minister, there are many officials in the central and southern parts of the court, most of them are from Jiangnan Academy, this is the business of my Pei family for many years, which is indispensable." ”

This answer doesn't sound like a problem, not only talking about the current situation, having this opportunity, but also talking about the Pei family's years of hard work, and most importantly, mentioning the third uncle himself, Pei Xianzhi felt that his answer was not wrong at all.

Pei Xingting didn't speak, and turned his gaze to Pei Jizhi, who seemed to be a little impatient: "Ji Zhi, what do you think?" ”

"It was the old monk who gave this opportunity." Pei Jizhi said casually, "Big brother's talent is rare, but if it weren't for the old monk looking for him, what is the difference between him and us?" Oh, there's still a difference, he's the eldest son of our generation. 2k reading network
