Chapter 632: Qi Hui's Escape to the South
"The lower officer obeyed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Yuwen Yisheng got up and replied, he knew that the matter was urgent and did not dare to delay, except for the Qi Palace, he returned to his residence to pack his bags, and took a few retinues to pretend to be a scholar and traveled to the capital; In the past, the nearest way to enter the capital from Henan Province was to go west through Dogi Province into Gyeonggi Province, and then go north to reach the capital, but now that the capital is occupied by Li You, it is wedged like a wedge between Henan Province and Gyeonggi Province, breaking the connection between the two places, and Yuwen Yisheng can only make a detour to the north and go around a large circle from Hedong Road to the capital.
The last time I followed the army and didn't feel anything, this time a small group of people on the road continued to encounter the harassment of rogues, bandits, rebels and even Northern Yuan soldiers and horses, the land in the fields was very barren, and when I entered the villages and towns, I saw ten rooms and nine empty, and there were many doors wide open and uninhabited, Yuwen Yisheng couldn't help but shake his head again and again when he saw this, although the Great Wei Dynasty was corrupt before, but the people always had a way to live, but now the Northern Yuan army and all forces are fighting everywhere, and the people's lives are finally unbearable.
What makes Yuwen Yisheng even more speechless is that the officers and soldiers should be the one who protects the people, but in Henan Province and Hedong Province, it is different, whether it is the righteous army here, or the bandits who are forced to fall into the grass, there are always inextricable links with the people in nearby villages, so they are not good at harassing the people too much, but those officers and soldiers from Mobei often slaughter villages and towns, burn and loot, making the people miserable, and the number of rebels and bandits is increasing.
"Hey, I'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world, and the ancients really didn't deceive me." Yuwen Yisheng couldn't help but sigh, he himself was tortured all the way, and there were constantly rogues, officers and soldiers blocking the way, but fortunately, the righteous army had a lot of respect for scholars, and the officers and soldiers had the order given by Yuan Zhang to send them, so they arrived in the capital safely.
When he came to the capital, Yuwen Yisheng was not in a hurry to visit directly, his current appearance was too rude, he first went to live in an old home in the capital, bathed and changed clothes, and waited until the second day to go to Qi Huizhi's house to send a post.
In the afternoon, Qi Huizhi returned home from the court, and habitually asked, "What's going on in the house today?" "He is also subconsciously, such as among the countries today, the Chu State is the most turbulent in a few times, even if he is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, few people have always come to visit.
"All of them came to ask the lord for words." Qi Huizhi is famous for calligraphy, and there are some vassal and elegant people who come to visit, but compared to the time when Li Gui was in power, it is far worse, people say that the words are like their people, and now Qi Huizhi has lost the literati style of the pseudo-dynasty, so this word is not asked.
After speaking, the housekeeper handed over a bunch of famous posts, thought about it, and took out one from below and put it on it, "The people who came here today are all acquaintances, but this Mr. Xuzhong has never heard of it." ”
"Mr. Void?" Qi Huizhi was stunned for a moment, and after a little thought, he guessed the identity of the person who came, "Huh? Isn't he in Henan Province? How did you come to the capital? And so discreetly? Also used this lesser-known alias? ”
Xuzhong is the alias that Yuwen Yisheng used in the past, but it didn't take long to change it, Qi Huizhi also had a relationship with him before he knew, he was strange that according to the current relationship between the Northern Yuan and the Chu State, a minister like Yuwen Yisheng who was in a high position in the Northern Yuan Dynasty visited, I am afraid that Xu Shiyong and Yang Deming will greet him in person, why didn't he hear the movement?
Presumably there are other plans for this trip, so it is not appropriate to have Zhang, right? Qi Huizhi wanted to visit Yuwen Yisheng's residence in person, but when he thought of this reason, he sat down again, and he ordered, "You go and invite this Mr. Xuzhong to the mansion, I will wait for him in the study, and the other guests today will be gone, let them go back." ”
"Yes, the old slave obeys." The housekeeper was a little surprised, and couldn't help but secretly guess what the other party's origin was, and how could he make his own master value it so much? He didn't dare to delay, and immediately sent capable people to find Yuwen Yisheng according to the address left in the worship post, and half an hour later, Yuwen Yisheng entered Qi Huizhi's study.
"Sure enough, it's Brother Yuwen, isn't Brother Xian following the National Teacher in Henan Province? Why did you suddenly come to the capital? Seeing Yuwen Yisheng coming, Qi Huizhi hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"It's hard to put into words." Yuwen Yisheng glanced at the scholars and slaves who were waiting left and right, and Qi Hui's heart was clear, and he drove them all out of the study, and sent a housekeeper to guard outside the study, leaving only the two of them to discuss secretly.
"The younger brother came this time, and I really have an opinion, and I want to ask Brother Qi for a big matter." Seeing that there was no one around, Yuwen Yisheng slowly spoke, and told all the results of the discussion with Yuan Zhang and Chen Jing'an in the Qi Palace.
A few days later, a big news suddenly came from the capital, the famous Qi Hui Qi suddenly disappeared from Xu Shiyong's court, he did not see him in the court for several days, did he receive the illness document, and when Xu Shiyong sent someone to Qi Hui's house to check, he found that Qi Huizhi and his family had disappeared for a few days, leaving only those panicked servants in the house.
When the news reached the palace, Xu Shiyong and Yang Deming looked at each other and smiled bitterly, since the Yaluhan army was wiped out by Li You, there have been more and more officials in the Chu State who have fled, but it is the first time that they are in a high position like Qi Huizhi.
"That's it, don't bother with it." Xu Shiyong was also invisibly entangled in this matter, and even the chasing people didn't bother to send out, and still returned to the harem to use wine and dance to let himself forget these troubles.
Ten days later, a team of chariots and horses came to the border between Dugi Province and Gyeonggi Province, and stopped in front of the checkpoint of the Jiazhou Army, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper stepped forward, "My master is the first emperor of the Zuo Si Qi Hui Qi Lord, this time he abandoned his hypocrisy and came south, ready to go to Jiazhou to meet the new emperor, and I hope that this general will report one or two and let me wait to pass the customs." ”
After verifying their identities, the defenders did not dare to slack off, and while sending a team of soldiers to escort them into Dugi Province, they hurried forward to inform Luo Shiji.
Luo Shiji had also heard of Qi Huizhi's name at the beginning, and pondered that since it was a good thing for the famous ministers to defect to Jiazhou, he ordered them not to be blocked along the road and send them to Jiazhou as soon as possible.
Not long after, the news reached Jiazhou, those officials who had been suppressed by Yao Guangxiao, Wang Ji and others for a long time celebrated, in the past, because they did not have a famous person as the backbone, they could not compete with Qian Sa and Li You, and now the famous Qi Lord of Qi went south, so that they saw new hope.
These people temporarily united, hoping that Lord Qi could lead them to compete with Li You in the court. (To be continued.) )
