Chapter 46: The Son of Heaven Yiwei



[Chapter 2, Volume 2]

Section 81

In the thatched hut, after Song Zaishui got up, he didn't see Wei Changying, and learned from Xinli that Wei Changying went out for a walk, with a lot of people, so he was relieved. Then Wei Qing led Gu Yiran and Deng Zongqi to see Wei Changfeng, Song Zaishui naturally stayed in the room quietly, without making a sound, but after the outsiders left, not long after, some guards rushed into the house to tell that there was something behind the house, involving Wei Changying - Song Zaishui was shocked, and was about to go out of the room to see, but was held down by the painting hall!

The reason is very simple, Song Zaishui's knee injury has been "recurring" in the past few days, and no matter what happens in the future, Song Zaishui, who is not well now, will definitely not be able to help in the past. It rained last night, and now it's not easy to walk outside, don't let this coquettish person fall and bump it, and get hurt and injured, which will not only add more chaos to Xiaozhu Mountain-let the painting hall explain to Mrs. Song?

The painting hall is not Song Zaishui's maid, and Mrs. Song told her to stay and take care of her niece on her behalf, although Song Zaishui was anxious, he couldn't reprimand and drive away like he did with Chunjing, so he had to sit on the couch helplessly and wait.

It's been a long time, but Wei Changying finally came back, and after seeing her enter the house, although she immediately took off the hat and threw it to the green room, and the green room immediately took the hat and turned around and went out, after taking off the hat, Wei Changying's face was obviously not very good, but she could see that she moved freely, not like she had an accident again.

Song Zaishui breathed a sigh of relief - this time Wei Changying needs to stay overnight in Xiaozhu Mountain, and it is all caused by saving himself, so no matter what happens to Wei Changying on Xiaozhu Mountain, Song Zaishui can't get out of the relationship, even if he thinks about his relatives, Mrs. Song doesn't care about her niece, and Song Zaishui's conscience is not at ease.

She saw that Wei Changying frowned and didn't speak, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Yesterday there was a heavy rain, which washed away all the realgar around the house, and as a result, Zhu Yeqing climbed into the newly raised bamboo pavilion behind the house, and it didn't stay anywhere, but stayed on the pillar behind me. If it weren't for the sharp-eyed Deng Gongzi who had just come down the mountain, he would have suffered a big loss today. Wei Changying said not very happily.

Although she just pulled out the hairpin of the green pier and killed another bamboo leaf green, she has been practicing martial arts with Jiang Zheng since she was a child, and she has always been very diligent, and even Jiang Zheng praised her for her good understanding and high talent, so she boasted of her skills. But today's trouble, but there are still flaws everywhere, if there is no Deng Zongqi to look back, God knows what will happen to him today?

Xiaozhushan is a bamboo mountain, and there are always snake medicines in the thatched huts, especially the medicine that resolves the poison of bamboo leaves. Although Wei Changying was startled by the snake nearby, she was not worried about her life, she was angry - can she beat Shen Zangfeng in the future if she is so careless?

Traps, tricks or something, Shen Zangfeng can also use it......

On the road of living the life you want to live, it is really a hard journey!

The more Wei Changying thought about it, the more frustrated and painful she felt, she decided not to think about such an unhappy thing for the time being, so she quickly changed the topic: "By the way, how could Wei Qing take these two living people up the mountain?" What are they looking for the wind for? ”

Song Zaishui took a sip of tea and said: "I also listened a few ears through the door just now, it seems that last night, after we all fell asleep, there was a group of people who rushed to the night road, and they didn't want to get wet with the lanterns because of the rain, and they got lost and missed the post station, but they recognized Xiaozhushan and knew that Mr. Zhushan had a thatched hut on the mountain, so they wanted to come up and spend the night." ”

Wei Changying said: "Ah, it turns out that this is the noise I heard when I was confused? ”

"The reason for the commotion is that they almost got into a fight with the guards at the foot of the mountain." Song Zaishuidao, "Both sides regarded each other as thieves, and later the name of the family was reported over there, and the guards checked a few of their belongings, but they were not sure, so they sent a few people up the mountain to call Cousin Changfeng." My cousin took Wei Qing down the mountain to interrogate them in person, and only then did he confirm their identities, but we were on the mountain, so of course we couldn't let them come to the mountain to spend the night. Fortunately, the guards of the Wei family built a few bamboo huts at the foot of the mountain, and vacated two for them...... Fang Cai was about to set off, and specially sent two people up the mountain to thank them and say goodbye. ”

Wei Changying was a step late when he thanked him just now, and he didn't hear Deng Zongqi mentioning the overnight stay, so he suddenly said: "So that's the case, I said, it's early in the morning, how could Wei Qing take two people up the mountain to see Changfeng for no reason." ”

He said strangely, "The children of the Gu clan in the imperial capital are not in the imperial capital, and the children of the Deng clan in Rongcheng are not in Rongcheng, what are you doing in our Fengzhou?" Moreover, just now they said that they were in a hurry? ”

Song Zaishui snorted and said, "They seem to be going to Qingzhou." ”

"Qingzhou?" Wei Changying was surprised, "That's the Su family's place...... It's getting weirder and weirder, what are you going to do there? ”

"Say there's something to do." Song Zaishui said, "I haven't listened to it all, so I'll ask my cousin later." ”

When Wei Changfeng returned to the hut, the two sisters asked him together, but he didn't want to answer, first asked Wei Changying about the distress in the pavilion, knowing that it was because the color of the bamboo leaf green and the bamboo pillar was too similar, so that the Feng family and the two went into the pavilion to clean first, but they didn't find it, Song Zaishui's face changed a few times, patted his chest, and said: "God is pitiful!" It's really a loss to this Deng Zongqi today! ”

But Wei Changfeng had a gloomy face and said, "It's all mine, I just wanted to build a bamboo pavilion there, but I almost hurt my eldest sister." He was very angry and wanted to order someone to dismantle the bamboo pavilion, but Wei Changying hurriedly stopped: "It's done, what are you doing to dismantle it?" Where is this strange pavilion, it is all because the heavy rain washed away the realgar and did not make up for it. ”

Wei Changfeng said hesitantly: "If I don't say that I want to build a bamboo pavilion there, my mother won't send a craftsman over." There is no pavilion behind the house, where is the eldest sister going to suffer from this disaster today? ”

"Didn't you see the bamboo leaf green I killed later? The green grass...... How can you see clearly if you don't look carefully? Wei Changying frowned, "And it's better on my head than at my feet, I have a hat on my head, and clogs on my feet!" ”

Song Zaishui knew that Wei Changfeng insisted on demolishing the bamboo pavilion or felt that he had affected his sister on a whim, so he said: "The horizontal and vertical Changying is fine now, and the pavilion will not be demolished first - the pavilion built by bamboo is ready-made to open up the place where the rain can't hit, and pour it into the realgar, and nothing will dare to approach it in the future, isn't it?" ”

Wei Changying didn't wait for Wei Changfeng to say anything, so she nodded: "That's good." ”

Wei Changfeng still felt scared and angry, he wanted to say something, but Song Zaishui and Wei Changying had already urged him to talk about Gu Yiran and Deng Zongqi and his party, but he couldn't resist the two sisters, so he had to say: "Gu Yiran is a disciple of the side branch of the Gu family in the imperial capital, then Deng Zongqi is the son of the Deng family, and there are also children of the Liu family and the Duanmu family under the mountain. Last night, the two of the Liu family and the Duanmu family and our guards moved their hands and injured people, I scolded them after I went down, thinking about their family's sake, and then asked someone to vacate the bamboo house for them to spend the night, probably because of this, I was not embarrassed to come up today, so I only let Gu and Deng go up the mountain to say goodbye. ”

"The children of the Liu family and the Duanmu family?" Song Zaishui and Wei Changying glanced at each other, both very surprised, and said, "These four children ...... Why did you get to Fengzhou? ”

Wei Changfeng said: "Where is Fengzhou?" They are going to Qingzhou! ”

"Then what are you going to do in Qingzhou?" Wei Changying asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, it's just inconvenient to spread the word." Wei Changfeng looked left and right, and the subordinates all retreated with interest, and then he said in a low voice, "They are all imperial capital Yiwei, and they went to Qingzhou here, but they were ordered by the Holy Father to do an errand." ”

Hearing this, Wei Changying and Song Zaishui were both moved: "Yiwei?! The secret purpose? What is the errand? ”

Yi Wei is the last of the three guards of the Son of Heaven, but not everyone can enter. In the early years of the Great Wei Dynasty, three guards were set up to protect the forbidden middle, and these three guards were the personal guards, the Xun guards, and the Yi guards.

Among them, the personal guard can only be supplemented by the son of the official eunuch above the third grade, which is the seventh grade, and there was news from the imperial capital before, and Shen Zangfeng was the personal guard made up by his father's shadow after he tied his hair; Xunwei is one level lower than the personal guard, only from the seventh rank, only accept the supplement of the grandchildren of the official eunuchs above the third rank, or the son of the fourth rank; The last Yiwei also requires the origin of the grandson of the fourth rank and the son of the fifth rank to enter.

Don't look at the highest personal guard in the three guards, it is only seven grades, because the three guards are directly guarding the palace, and their status is extremely high. Do not look at each other according to their grade. There are a total of 4,963 places for the three guards of the Son of Heaven, and even the lowest Yiwei is limited to the sons of fifth-grade officials who can be filled, and they have always preferred vacancies to fill them indiscriminately.

…… The promotion of officials in the Great Wei Dynasty has a tacit rule, that is, those who have had the experience of being on duty in the forbidden period will be given priority in promotion. Therefore, this identity has always been valued by each family.

If it weren't for Wei Huan's old age, Mrs. Song wouldn't worry that her only grandson would easily leave her side, and Wei Changfeng would now be added to the honor guard to calculate his qualifications.

It can be said that it is basically impossible for the Shu clan to appear among the three guards, from top to bottom, it is basically ranked according to the current power of the Great Wei Dynasty and the prosperity of the heirs.

Although Gu Yiran and Deng Zongqi's families are not as good as the six valves in the sea, they are also the ones that they have heard of throughout the Great Wei, especially Deng Zongqi is still the son of the Deng family, but they can only make up for Yiwei, which shows how many nobles are gathered in the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven of Great Wei!

At the beginning, the establishment of the Three Guards was to defend the Son of Heaven, so the Three Guards had a clear rule that they were not allowed to leave the capital without permission - these people were nominally under the jurisdiction of the Forbidden Army, but in fact they were the Son of Heaven's own army, under the personal command of the Holy Lord. Every move is closely related to the divine will.

Now the four Yiwei have appeared at the foot of Xiaozhu Mountain, and they want to go to Qingzhou, or a secret order...... Everyone is curious and surprised.

Especially Fengzhou just passed the great victory in the north of the state not long ago, and the angels are rushing over with the holy decree of praise...... Does it have anything to do with this? Why did it involve the Su family's place again?

Wei Changying knew a little more about the great victory in the state, for example, Song Han and Song Duan's plundering of other people's military exploits and intending to cheat marriage, so he thought that the saint was aware of everything and found out about it, so he sent someone else to investigate?

However, Song Zaishui and Wei Changying turned thousands of guesses in their hearts in an instant, and they still didn't guess correctly-and they didn't have anything to do with each other at all, because the real reason was: "The saint has recently recruited a palace attendant, who is very favored, but in a few days, he has been promoted from the last eight-rank beauty to the sixth-grade Xiaoyi, and even the reward is similar to that of the fourth-grade talent." The emperor's favor is like this, the upstart Zhong Xiaoyi in this palace is often sad when no one is around, the saint personally inquired, Zhong Xiaoyi said the reason, but she was originally from Qingzhou, when her family was poor, she made a palace maid for her younger brothers and sisters, and now she has become a palace concubine, with fine clothes and jade food, but she misses whether her younger brothers and sisters are still in the world, and whether they have enough food and clothing......"

Wei Changying was dumbfounded and said, "Then the Holy Lord sent four Yi guards to Qingzhou to find his younger siblings for this Zhong Xiaoyi?" ”

Wei Changfeng said lightly: "I thought so at first, but ...... Listening to Gu Yiran's meaning, the reason why they were in a hurry was because it was Zhong Xiaoyi's Fangchen two months later, and the saint decided to take Zhong Xiaoyi's younger siblings to the imperial capital before this, and bring them into the palace on Zhong Xiaoyi's fangchen day to reunite their sisters and brothers, which was also Bo Zhong Xiaoyi's smile. And the reason why it is a secret decree is because there is an order from the saint, and this matter is not allowed to be known to Xiaoyi before Zhong Xiaoyi Fangchen. That's why Gu Yiran didn't dare to stay, and hurried day and night, so that he missed the stay yesterday, was wet with the lantern by the rain, and got lost for a long time before finding the foot of Xiaozhu Mountain. ”

"......" No wonder it was obviously a secret decree, but Gu Yiran and the others dared to tell Wei Changfeng about this-Wei Changying looked at Song Zaishui with a disgusted face speechlessly, the debauchery of the East Palace had already made Song Zaishui panic all day, but he didn't expect the saint to ......

Now Hu Lu is eyeing the Great Wei, I am afraid that he wants to drink the Central Plains of Ma in the morning and evening, and even the country is not at peace, and even bandits can appear less than a hundred miles away from the city of Fengzhou - in this case, the saint still has the heart to make the four Yi guards rush to Qingzhou, which is thousands of miles away from the imperial capital, to visit the Zhong family's younger brothers and sisters day and night......

Even though Wei Changying didn't know much about the situation, he now felt that the Great Wei was ...... Seems a little bit bad......
