Outside Yingtianfu City, the capital of Zhili Prefecture, it is naturally ten times more prosperous than Xilingkou, and even in the early morning, the wide official road is already full of people going to the state capital.

Ying Tianfu, formerly known as Song Zhou, because the proprietor did not ascend the throne when he was born here, he was appointed as the envoy of the festival here, so in the third year of Emperor Gaozong Jingde, Song Zhou was promoted to Ying Tianfu, the capital of Zhili.

There is no governor of Tianfu, so the military power is also in the hands of the governor, but the governor of Zhili is not permanent, and there are often shortages.

The eastern capital of the capital of Qin Zheng, not a child of the clan, but was given the surname Qin by Emperor Zheng, if it is regardless of the monarch and ministers, he is considered Emperor Zheng's wife and brother, when he was young, he joined the army, unlike the King of Jin, he became famous in the northern capital, once shot with an arrow after the establishment of a famous general Huyan Liezhuo and the name of the world, known as the flying general.

After returning to the dynasty, he was named Marquis of Wuwei by Emperor Zheng.

At that time, Hanlin even wrote a poem to congratulate the new marquis.

The emperor will end the feast and discuss the merits of the war.

The Son of Heaven Linxuan gave the Hou Yin, and the governor admired it out of the Taihe Palace.

The so-called Metropolitan Governor of the Eastern Capital is in charge of the forbidden army of the Three Cities and the once famous 200,000 Son of Heaven army outside the Eastern Capital. The authority is indispensable, and Emperor Zheng's trust in it can be seen from this.

The five metropolitan governors of Dazheng, the metropolitan governor Zhang Qing is nominally in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and controls the remaining four metropolitan governors, and Xiao Lie, the metropolitan governor of the secret guard, is in charge of 200,000 secret guards and investigates the world. The governor of the northern capital started from the shepherd, guarded the northern gate of Dazheng, and was in charge of the soldiers and horses of the three states in the north. Xu Lin, the governor of the central capital, was in charge of 230,000 iron cavalry in the central capital, and was the most elite soldier in Dazheng. The governor of the Eastern Capital was Qin Zheng, who was in charge of the Eastern Capital Forbidden Army and the 200,000 Son of Heaven pro-army.

Zhang Qing is the oldest, the oldest in qualifications, and the most prestigious. Xiao Lie is the most powerful and the most feared by Wenchen, and after what happened five years ago, his reputation is already the most unbearable. The shepherds are far away from the eastern capital, and their reputation rarely appears in the court, and they are the most comfortable to be their own soil emperor in the northern capital. Xu Lin has guarded the grassland of Zhongdu for many years, with the strongest military strength and the best reputation among the people. Qin Zheng, regardless of fame and power, is not as prominent as several other governors, but he is the most trusted by Emperor Zheng.

This is an eventful autumn, although the common people have not yet noticed, but some people who stand tall have already felt the atmosphere of the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building.

Qin Zheng is such a person, he has already stood at the apex of military generals, and even the apex of this vast and decaying empire.

If this empire is a pyramid, then he is the small group of people who stand on the top of the pyramid. Standing here, they are already very close to the sky.

What is the heavens? The heavens are the vast heavenly way, and the earthly world is the earth and is based on the earth.

Between the mundane and the heavenly is the realm of practice.

Therefore, as one of the people who stand tallest in the world, he can no longer consider not only the world, but also the cultivation world, which cannot be judged by common sense.

What was written in the letter from the real person in charge of the sect to His Majesty the Emperor, probably no one except Emperor Zheng and the two of them knew it, but from some of His Majesty's words, Qin Zheng could guess that it was by no means as simple as dealing with the Sword Sect.

If worldly things are resolved by the world, then the disputes in the cultivation world, and the real people in charge will never want to use worldly means.

What's more, the Sword Sect can rank among the top of the nine streams, but it can't let the three sects become four sects, because the Sword Sect only has one sect master who stands alone in the world, and one person can hold up one sect, but he can't lift another. Therefore, the first of the nine streams is the extreme, and it is difficult to take a step forward.

The head of the three sects versus the head of the nine streams, the victory or defeat is obvious, and it is the Sword Sect that needs to seek help instead of the Dao Sect.

The morning light illuminated this solemn palace with red walls and golden roofs, and Qin Zheng, who was already a marquis before the age of forty, was the governor of the official residence, and was considered a hot man in the entire Great Zheng Dynasty, wearing a black gold-rimmed official robe, walking on the heavily guarded quiet royal road.

Qin Zheng is both the governor of Zhili and the governor of the eastern capital, the governor is a minister, the governor is a military general, the military general is a black background dark gold edge, and the civil minister is a black background purple gold edge, although Qin Zheng looks elegant, but he is still a martial artist in his bones, so he wears a dark gold border Dadu governor's robe, not a Wen purple and gold border governor's robe.

One by one, the Ouchi guards straightened their backs and looked at the mild-faced Dadu Governor in awe.

In addition to the triple identity of Marquis Wuwei, Governor of the Eastern Capital, and Governor of Zhili, Qin Zheng also has an identity that is easy to be selectively forgotten by others, Emperor Zheng's wife and brother, that is to say, Qin Zheng is actually an upright imperial relative and uncle.

The deceased queen was the sister of his compatriot.

Compared with the red face is easy to age, the beauty is easy to pass away, the temperament of a man, the status is far better than the fleeting face, just as the so-called man does not lose his bearing because of time. If the woman is a flower, the man is like wine, and the longer the time precipitates, the more mellow it becomes.

Qin Zheng, as the youngest metropolitan governor, is not as confused as he is, but years of training have allowed him to completely take off the childishness of a young man and become the calm of a middle-aged man. Coupled with the nobility cultivated in a high position for many years and the masculinity of the soldiers, I have to say that Qin Zheng is enough to make most women's hearts sway. Whether it is a mature woman whose heart has gone through vicissitudes, or a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love.

At this time, Qin Zheng seemed to be thinking about something, half-lowered his head and ignored the surroundings, and went straight out of the palace.

When I came out of the palace, there was already an entourage waiting here with a horse. Seeing Qin Zheng out of the palace, he immediately greeted him and handed over a robe, "Master Hou, are we going back to the house, or?"

Qin Zheng took the robe and put it on, then turned over and got on the horse, and took the horse whip: "Go out of the city and go to Yingtianfu." ”

......

The eastern capital is not far from Yingtianfu, if it is a fast horse, it is only two hours away.

At the end of the day, Qin Zheng came out of the north gate of the eastern capital, but he had already arrived in front of the gate of Yingtianfu Gate at three o'clock.

Qin Zheng took the horsewhip and pointed to the huge word Yingtian on the south gate of Yingtianfu.

"Back then, my poor nephew was desperate and fled to Yingtianfu, but I led troops to block in front of this city gate. ”

"Before the proprietor entered the Eastern Capital and ascended the throne, he went out of this door. ”

Who is the nephew of Uncle Guo, naturally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was praised by the Manchu Dynasty ten years ago.

Hearing this, the entourage on the side did not squint, as if they were deaf.

Qin Zheng was just talking to himself, but he didn't care much, and still muttered: "I used my nephew's blood to pave the way, so that Qin Zheng climbed up." ”

"What a green road!"

Qin Zheng laughed at himself, but he couldn't enter the door, turned his horse's head, and walked along the city wall from the south gate to the north gate.

......

Sometimes it is lucky or unfortunate to become a key pawn, but at least one change is that people who would not have looked at you will finally see what you look like.

After all, not everyone can play blind chess.

A man and a woman greeted the newly rising sun from the north towards Tianfu.

Men in the front, women in the back. It was Xiao Yu and Ye Xia.

Xiao Yu, who was leading the way in front, carried an umbrella and a sword on his back, and walked silently without saying a word.

Ye Xia, who was walking behind him, looked around, as if she was a little curious about the customs of the Central Plains, even the old slave who carried the burden had to find a way to see what was in the basket.

Xiao Yu, who was facing Ye Xia with his back, suddenly asked: "The front is Yingtianfu, and you can reach the Eastern Capital along the official road, okay with you and me?"

Ye Xia was stunned, "Why?"

Xiao Yu said calmly: "How can there be so many why?"

Ye Xia was a little disappointed, and said softly: "Do you dislike me for dragging you back?"

"I don't go to the Eastern Capital, I'll go to Meishan. ”

After speaking, Xiao Yu suddenly unfolded his body and swept away.

Only Ye Xia was left standing alone on the wide official road.
