The grassland people rode horses very quickly, and Tuoba Yilu was also let go, and there was a horse that was guarded in the middle by Yuan Li's personal guards, called protection, but it was actually guardianship.

He didn't have a retinue, and before he set out, he offered to choose his henchmen from among the captives, but not only Tuoba Liuxiu objected, but Yuan Li didn't agree.

Tuoba Liuxiu still has the affection and gratitude of Zhao Hanzhang for the monarch and the minister, what does Tuoba Yilu have?

How could he allow him to bring his men into Beijing?

Yuan Li not only did not let him take it, but also ordered the yamen and secret inspectors along the way to carefully spy on the people who returned to the south.

If he was Tuoba Yilu's subordinate, he should find a way to intercept and rescue him on the road at this time, and he would definitely not let Tuoba Yilu enter Beijing like this.

Entering Beijing as a captive is completely opposite to killing the rebel son and entering Beijing with a great victory to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne.

The latter, even if Zhao Hanzhang is unhappy in his heart, he can't tell him about his crimes;

The former, the acting king entered Beijing like this, whether he could live or not.

Tuoba Yilu also felt this way, he was afraid that he would die if he went to the capital, so he kept trying to reconcile with Tuoba Liuxiu.

He felt that he was a father and son after all, breaking bones and connecting tendons, he was sending troops, but he didn't hurt him, Zhao Hanzhang was a foreign enemy, and their father and son should unite.

But Tuoba Liuxiu was heartbroken, and he didn't answer him at all, he was either surrounded by Su Hexiong and others, or he was side by side with Yuan Li, let alone alone, Tuoba Yilu couldn't say a word to him in public if he wanted to.

Whether it is Su Hexiong and his gang or Yuan Li, they don't want their father and son to reconcile.

The brains came out, and as soon as the father and son reconciled, all the charges would fall on the people around him, and with Tuoba Yilu's character and the previous father-son relationship, even if he was reconciled, he would not choose Tuoba Liuxiu as the heir, so their father and son should break up.

Su Kazuo and Tuoba Suzhou were careful to separate the father and son, and sometimes Tuoba Yilu would move their feet and block his view with their bodies.

Yuan Li also tacitly helped.

With Yuan Li's arrangements and escorts all the way, they successfully arrived in the capital, and it was already the third day of the eighth month.

As soon as they entered the city, Yuan Li led them to live in a house, and Tuoba Yilu was still guarded, and the outside of the room was guarded layer by layer.

Tuoba Yilu's heart jumped when he saw it, and he Yuan Li said, "I'm going to see the third sister now." "He's going to see her before Tuoba Liuxiu.

There can be many ways to say a thing, and he thinks that the one who says it first has an advantage.

Yuan Li comforted him and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, I will write to Your Majesty immediately, but the ceremony is imminent, Your Majesty has already lived in the palace, and whether you will be summoned today depends on the meaning of the palace." ”

Tuoba Yilu's face was not very good-looking, his eyes swept over Tuoba Liuxiu, who was standing not far away, and demanded: "I want to face the saint with that rebel." ”

Yuan Li didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either, only said that he would report it.

He sneered in his heart, he would not be soft and beg for mercy, did he think that it was enough to argue at this time?

Yuan Li arranged Tuoba Liuxiu on the other side of this house, one east and one west with his father's courtyard, and he lived in the middle, so he would definitely not let them have a tragedy of father and son here.

After arranging them, Yuan Li went to the palace to report while it was still dark.

Zhao Hanzhang didn't mean to see their father and son in front of the ceremony, and said: "Prepare a set of dresses for them, and enter the palace to participate in the ceremony the day after tomorrow, and discuss the matter after the enthronement ceremony." ”

Yuan Li respectfully responded.

Tuoba Yilu couldn't help but be dissatisfied when he heard this, and wanted to make trouble, but no matter how much trouble he made, he was only trapped in a room, Yuan Li said directly: "It seems that the acting king has a tired journey and is not in good spirits, and I am afraid that he will not be able to participate in the enthronement ceremony the day after tomorrow." ”

Tuoba Yilu immediately didn't dare to make trouble.

Yuan Li was satisfied at this time, and warned him: "I'm afraid the acting king doesn't know yet, as soon as you send troops to Xinping City, the white department of the country will be reversed, and now there are seven tribes responding, in order to help the second prince calm down the chaos of the country, General Beigong and General Shi were ordered to enter the country." Tomorrow's enthronement ceremony is very important to Your Majesty and the whole world, and the Acting King can still participate in such a situation as the Acting King, this is Your Majesty's grace, and please do not let down Your Majesty. ”

Tuoba Yilu's eyes widened, he didn't expect the situation to be so bad.

Yuan Li saw that he knew that he had scruples, so he left.

In contrast, Tuoba Liuxiu is much simpler, he immediately accepted this matter, too, his aunt is about to ascend the throne, there must be many things.

So the next day, Tuoba Liuxiu took his subordinates out to enjoy the scenery of Luoyang.

Because Zhao Hanzhang ascended the throne, there were many assassins and generals who came to watch the ceremony, and because of the long interval, many wealthy businessmen and wealthy people came to join in the fun, and Luoyang at this time was more than twice as lively as usual.

The people in Luoyang and the surrounding areas are happy and crazy, it is autumn, melons, fruits and vegetables are harvested, even chickens love to lay eggs more than before, these agricultural and sideline products are continuously sent to Luoyang, and a lot of copper coins are earned.

Even the people in Yuzentang couldn't resist taking up a piece of wasteland near them, hoeing all the weeds, then fertilizing and sprinkling water, and then sowing seeds......

At this time, vegetables can be plucked and eaten in about half a month, and green vegetable seedlings are very popular and the price is slightly higher.

In addition, they are also very fond of sprouts.

Soybean sprouts and mung bean sprouts, from 60-year-old women to 3-year-old dolls in Yushantang, are currently a must-learn course in Yushantang.

Because of the lack of vegetables in winter and the low price of beans, bean sprouts are a must-have dish for Yuzentang in winter.

The courtiers who were worried about the autumn harvest because Zhao Hanzhang chose the day of his accession to the throne on the fifth day of the eighth month saw this situation and silently took away the worries in their hearts.

"Because of the flood, the replanted grain has to be postponed until September, and because His Majesty requires everything to be simple, and no civilian service is drawn from other places, the total manpower consumed so far is less than 10,000, and most of it is still drawn from the six ministries and military camps, so it does not work for the people, but it attracts so much life and wealth, so it is really the desire of heaven."

"Yes, Your Majesty is thrifty, and I hope it will always be."

"Your Majesty seems to like Zhao Qi Ye very much, and he has never stopped Zhao Qi from being extravagant, I am really a little worried."

"Alas, I hope that Heaven will protect you, and your Majesty will be to his grandfather in this regard, and not to his uncle."

"This ...... Not well, Zhao Gong...... Our Fortune ...... I've heard that His Majesty wants to revise the distribution of some of the money, and the regulations on the amount of silver and rice that officials at all levels receive each year......"

If they were as stingy as Zhao Gong, wouldn't they be miserable?

When other colleagues heard this, they thought so, so they made a wish instead, "I hope that God will protect you, Your Majesty will be like Zhao Gong internally in terms of money, and like Zhao Qiye externally." ”

Although they felt that it was difficult for a person to have such two faces, they still made such a wish.

Oh, they are inspecting the altar at the moment, Zhao Hanzhang will come here to worship the heavens after he ascends the throne.

When it was finally confirmed, the officials of the Ministry of Rites left together, and when they walked to the palace road, they saw a queue lining up to enter with things in hand, and they could only give way first.

When the people passed, they couldn't help but speak, "A lot of silk, I glanced at it, the color is extremely bright, which state sent it?" ”

"It seems to be Shu satin and Shu brocade, it was given by Li Shizi of Chengguo, right?"

"To say that the best gift this year should be from Jiangnan, Yangzhou is rich, except for last year's war, it has been a corner of peace for decades, and I don't know how much wealth has been accumulated."

"Not only that, I heard that Yangzhou also has auspiciousness."

"Xiangrui?"

"Yes, I sent it to Beijing today, but Ji Shizhong doesn't seem to be very happy, I was passing by his office this morning and I heard him scolding the king for assassinating the history."

"This auspicious rui is too late, Your Majesty is about to ascend the throne, the top and bottom have changed their words, if it appears half a year earlier, then it will be auspicious."

"Who made the auspicious rui? Wang Tingshi doesn't look like that kind of person. ”

Someone chuckled and said, "I heard it's Zhou Xi." ”

"Zhou Xi?" The officials exclaimed, "This is even more impossible, when did he become so tactful?" ”

Zhou Xi was also wronged.

On the eighth day of the seventh month, he recovered from the shock of the little emperor wanting to give way to Zhao Hanzhang, so he wanted to take advantage of the slack to lead troops to clean up the river blocked by the flood, and by the way, he used labor to dredge his mind.

A soldier fished out a huge natural stone turtle from the river while dredging.

It is really natural, the shape is very unique, whether it is seen up close or far away, it looks like a turtle, and the best thing is that there are many holes in the body and abdomen of the stone turtle.

The hole in the abdomen is dense and large, and there are only five small holes on the stone face, the position is different, the size is not the same, a rough look, it is actually the North Star five, and the hole belonging to the Emperor Star is the largest and roundest.

What shocked Zhou Xi the most was that there was an old line of words under the emperor star, "Kun hexagram 63, the destiny of heaven".

Zhou Xi: ......

The world knows that Zhao Hanzhang's name and Zhen, whether it is the name or the word, are all selected from the Kun hexagram 63 in the Book of Changes.

The directivity of this line of words couldn't be clearer, and the emperor star should be on Zhao Hanzhang.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Hanzhang's ascension to the throne was a foregone conclusion, he would definitely suspect that Zhao Hanzhang did it.

But on the first day of the seventh month, she accepted to give way, who is so brainless and still engages in Xiangrui?

At this time, it is self-defeating!

Who needs auspiciousness?

Those who want to force the old emperor to abdicate.

The words that the little emperor said on the first day of the seventh month on the first day of the seventh month at the great court meeting are the best proof of the legitimacy of etiquette and heaven.

Ordinary people will believe in such a thing as auspiciousness, but the scholars will basically not believe it.

Because of the little emperor's sincere words, most of the scholars in the world were convinced, thinking that he was willing to give way to Zhao Hanzhang, which can be said to be the most harmonious and convincing pair of the three dynasty changes in the past hundred years.

As a result, a auspicious rui came out at this time.

Zhou Xi was about to go crazy, and he couldn't wait to let people sink this stone turtle to the center of the river immediately, as if it didn't exist.

But the soldiers were rejoicing.

They didn't know what the stars and words on it represented, but they could see that the stone had a unique shape.

They shouted happily: "General, we have made a fortune—"

Oh, I forgot to mention, they are not far from Taihu Lake at this time.

The stones of Taihu Lake were not yet popular all over the country at this time, but they were very popular in the south of the Yangtze River.

Now there are special quarrymen, and most of them have a hard time, but if someone is lucky enough to mine a stone with a unique shape, it can also be sold for a good price and become rich overnight.

The soldiers who worked together to drag the stone turtle up felt that this was a stone that could make a fortune.

They ran to tell each other, and the soldiers on a river came to join in the fun, and the people who came to clear the dredging also ran over.

There are too many people to see, and Zhou Xi is not a wicked person, so it is impossible to kill people, so he can only disperse the crowd and swallow the bitter fruit alone.

After thinking about it for a night, he still chose to report the matter to Director Wang.

When "Xiangrui" comes out, it is not a good thing to report it, but it is even worse to conceal it and not report it.

Jiangnan is already a trip behind the north, and the spies in the shadows are hidden deep and scattered, this matter must not be hidden, if Zhao Hanzhang misunderstands that Jiangnan has different intentions, it will be worth the loss.

Director Wang didn't expect that dredging the river would dig up a trouble, and he and Zhou Xi were distressed for several days, and finally decided to find out the truth before reporting.

But after checking for a long time, they didn't find out who did it, and seeing that the day of Zhao Hanzhang's accession to the throne was getting closer and closer, they had to report the matter while investigating.

The two discussed it, and Zhou Xi decided to carry the pot himself.

"I'd rather let the world think I'm a flattering villain, than ruin the reputation and prestige of the new emperor." Zhou Xi gritted his teeth when he said this, "If you want me to know who did this, I will definitely not spare him." ”

Wang Daodao: "It is impossible for such a big stone to leave no traces, we will report it first, and then carefully investigate, we will definitely be able to find out." ”

The stone is too big to be transported, so it can only be temporarily placed in the warehouse, and Director Wang can only paint it into a painting and send it to the capital, and Zhao Hanzhang decides what to do with this auspicious piece.

The matter was reported to Ji Yuan first, and it was delivered together with Jiangnan's congratulatory gift list.

Ji Yuan was still smiling when he looked at Jiangnan's gift list, and when he saw the back, his smiling face collapsed, and then he couldn't help but scold Director Wang.

On the day of the big day, a reverse "auspicious" came out, what did he and Zhou Xi's brains think?

Ji Yuan could only go to Zhao Hanzhang to get an idea, and said through gritted teeth: "Since it is auspicious, it can't be left outside, and it still has to be transported back to the capital, but this matter is not suitable for publicity, it is better to let Yangzhou send laborers and soldiers to escort it quietly, cover the stone with an oilcloth, and no longer let people see it." ”

Zhao Hanzhang also finished reading the painting, this "auspicious" is too directive, she can only use it, otherwise it can be used as another way.

"It was transported from Jiangnan to Luoyang, how much manpower and material resources did it cost to spend such a big stone?" Zhao Hanzhang had a toothache as long as he thought about it, "I heard that there was a rich person in the previous dynasty who went bankrupt in order to transport a strange stone. ”

Ji Yuan, who was familiar with history books, was a little sluggish on his face, "Is there one?" Which emperor was in power? ”

Wanli Emperor.

Zhao Hanzhang waved his hand and said: "It's not important, the important thing is that such a big stone will cost a lot to send to Luoyang, and I feel a little distressed." ”

Mainly, this stone has no effect, and if it had appeared two months earlier, it might have been a little bit useful.

No, it was at that time, and for the sake of stability, she wouldn't be too happy.

Zhao Hanzhang was a little unhappy, "Who is this fart who slapped me on the leg directly, Zhou Xi and Director Wang don't look like such people." ”

Zhao Hanzhang frowned and decided to ask about the dark department.

Jiangnan's dark department really knows who did it. (End of chapter)
