Chapter 30: Into the City
Early the next morning, Ye Beijiang was studying the sand map in the camp, and the guards who didn't know thought that their general was going to fight again, but only Ye Beijiang knew in his heart that he couldn't calm down in his heart, find something to do, and divert his attention.
After a while, Ye San, the commander of Ye Beijiang's guards, opened the curtain and walked in, Ye Beijiang dropped his baton, looked at Ye San and said, "Let's go."
"Let's go, I will hand over the ashes of my brothers to the little master to take back according to your instructions, and when the little master left, he also told me that you must tell him in time if you have anything", Ye San said.
"I don't have anything to worry about, I just don't know what he's been through in the Imperial City all these years, and even I can't see through him," Ye Beijiang said.
"By the way, eldest brother, I heard the little young master say that he has something important to do when he goes back this time, do you think we need to let the brothers who were transferred back to the imperial city a few years ago help the little young master", Ye San asked beside him.
"Yes, third child, you can repair a letter now, in my name, send a message to the brothers who were transferred back from the border army before, so that they have been secretly helping my son before, I will remember their kindness for the rest of my life, in addition, I ask them to bother more recently", Ye Beijiang walked to the door, looked at the vast road back to Beijing in front of him and said.
"By the way, you now gather all the generals above the rank of captain, I want to hear their thoughts, since you have agreed, you can't ignore it, it is inevitable that the brothers will have other emotions in their hearts", Ye Beijiang turned around, walked to the desk and sat down and said.
"There shouldn't be emotions, the brothers have come over all these years, if it weren't for you, I don't know how many times the brothers have died", Ye San responded.
After pondering for a while, Ye Beijiang still asked Ye San to continue to convene the generals to discuss the matter.
In the camp, only Ye Beijiang was left alone, leaning on the general's chair, thinking quietly.
On the other side at this time, Ye Yunyi traveled lightly, and took a few soldiers who had escorted grain and grass before, and returned to the imperial city first, plus Xuanqi, they were less than twenty people.
Walking out of the range of Qingyun City, when he was resting for a while, Ye Yunyi looked back in the direction of Qingyun City, and his thoughts were myriad, but after all, he just turned into a long sigh.
Seeing that the rest was almost over, Ye Yunyi gave the order to continue on the road, the sooner the problems of the court were solved, and the next things would be more certain.
After more than ten days of fast horsework, Ye Yunyi quickly returned to the imperial city.
Ye Yunyi, who came to the city gate, saw the people of Chu who came and went, in and out, and then thought of the border soldiers who were holding on to the bitter cold land of the frontier, and seemed to feel an inexplicable burden.
Thanks to the fact that when Ye Yunyi went before, he reorganized the letter posts along the way, and the situation of the border army was transmitted back to the imperial city very early, which made the imperial court know that the border army had just experienced a crisis.
"Is it Ye Yunyi and Lord Ye Wenqing in front, the slave family has been waiting here for a long time", Ye Yunyi, who had just entered the city gate, heard a few people standing next to the soldiers guarding the city in front.
I saw that the leader was a priest dressed as a eunuch, dressed in a red eunuch uniform, followed by several little eunuchs.
On the bright side, Ye Yunyi still has to make a show, and his identity as the master of the Dark Pavilion cannot be placed on the bright side, so Ye Yunyi is now just a Hanlin cultivator who is responsible for escorting grain and grass to the return of the border army.
"I am Ye Yunyi, but I don't know who Ye Wenqing you are talking about, I hope my father-in-law will solve my doubts", Ye Yunyi handed over the horse rope to Xuanqi, and walked to the eunuch to make a gesture.
"Oh, Lord Ye, you don't know yet, because this time you are escorting grain and grass, stabilizing the border army, and opening up the border to the imperial city, it can be said that you have worked hard, so several adults in the Taige jointly decided to give Lord Ye a promotion, and now you should be called Ye Wenqing", the eunuch explained.
"My father-in-law smiled, thank my father-in-law for solving his doubts, next time I use Yunyi's place, Yunyi will do his best", Ye Yunyi said.
When Gaozu was in power before, when the palace laws were revised, it was stipulated that eunuchs could not accept money privately, and what he was afraid of was the collusion between eunuchs and foreign ministers, so Ye Yunyi was just talking about it.
"What did Lord Ye say, I will have to rely on Lord Ye a lot in the future, when I came, the queen asked me to pass a message to the adult, hoping that after the adult settles down, he will enter the palace as soon as possible."
"Please rest assured, I will do it as soon as possible, Yunyi will go first", and left without looking back.
Being able to talk amiably is already Ye Yunyi's biggest limit, and for eunuchs, Ye Yunyi doesn't feel that there is anything to please.
In my previous life, I saw many plots of eunuchs misleading the country, all of which were the products of a group of people who were attached to the existence of imperial power, and it was impossible for Ye Yunyi to please them like other officials.
But Ye Yunyi didn't look down on them, most of the eunuchs who came in were poor and difficult to live in, so they entered the palace and begged for a way to live, all of which were forced by reality.
And the reason why this system exists is nothing more than the emperors in order to satisfy their selfish desires of the three palaces and six courts.
"Chief, this good student surnamed Ye is rude", seeing Ye Yunyi leaving, the little eunuch behind the eunuch walked up to him and muttered.
"Go, go, what do you know about this little thing, look at the entire imperial city, an official like Ye Yunyi who is already a fourth-grade official at a young age, I'm afraid he won't be able to find it again, the future is immeasurable, plus he is the only son of the Ye family, we can't afford to offend, be careful with your head next time you speak", the eunuch scolded angrily.
Several little eunuchs hurriedly bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, saying "yes, yes", and the eunuchs twisted and went back to the Chu Palace to resume their lives.
Seeing that the eunuch had walked away, the soldiers who had stood at the gate of the city couldn't help but laugh out loud, and looked at the backs of several eunuchs with disdain.
"Phew, just a few powerful things are also worthy of being the son of my Great Chu Army God."
