Chapter 62: The End of the Song and the Dispersal of People (3)
"Good news, Tinglong is about to be promoted."
Ye Yongjia raised his head in surprise and looked at Wan Heshun sitting in the hall.
"The messenger of the Son of Heaven has entered the territory, and tomorrow is almost here. I went to ask about it, and I wanted to transfer you to Beijing. Wan Heshun's expression relaxed, as if he was glad that he had gotten rid of this difficult subordinate.
"Oh...... I know it under it. Ye Yongjia was a little dazed for a while, he didn't seem to have time to accept the facts in front of him.
"It's good to know. You put up the official uniform and seal today, and send someone to hand it over to the official mansion at night, and when the edict arrives, you and I will have no relationship, so let's go with you. Wan Heshun put on a gloomy face, and he didn't even bother to do the last hypocrisy with him.
Ye Yongjia was extremely indifferent, and gave the other party a deep bow to show respect for this opponent for many years, and also drew an end to a battle with no winners. But Wan Heshun is not willing to be reconciled to such a draw, and similarly, Ye Yongjia is also looking forward to the next reunion.
But compared to this, what he regrets more in his heart is that the past nine years have passed too hastily, so that his ambitions have no room to be displayed. However, he is no longer the frustrated Ye Yongjia of Chen Zhou, and the setback can no longer make him stop, but it is a good encouragement.
After witnessing the changes brought about by the brutal party struggle and the rise and fall of reform, the hardships he experienced were like a big dream - staring at the land of Nanjing, there was no difference between when he went and when he came.
"Get up."
When he was full of thoughts about the past, the envoy's sudden words instantly cut off this spring of thoughts and pulled him back to the second hall of the mansion.
"Minister, take the order."
Ye Yongjia kowtowed, took the edict, put it on the table, and bowed three more times to the north.
"Please hurry up and pack your bags, and be sure to leave before curfew."
"Okay, although the envoy goes to the pavilion to rest, Ye will leave in an instant." After that, Ye Yongjia sent two or three officials to take the envoy out.
He went to the study to have lunch in advance, and was about to go back to the house to pack his luggage, when he saw the book office and reported: "Cai Xianqing, who sings, wants to see an adult." ”
Ye Yongjia frowned slightly, and thought: "Cai Lao is also a bold person, he has saved my life several times, and now I want to say goodbye, I am really a little reluctant...... so he sighed and asked him to bring Cai Xianqing here.
"Master Ye, I have nothing to do today, so I specially placed it, don't you think my play is an eyesore, right? Ha ha! Cai Xianqing stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.
"As long as a person lives brightly, it doesn't matter what he does or not, it's too late for the younger generation to respect you."
"Don't say polite words, I don't pay attention to this here, just sit down." Cai Xianqing sat aside, and inadvertently, he had caught a glimpse of the holy decree on the case.
"Ah...... "He coughed twice and pointed to the holy decree, "dare to ask, is that the emperor's imperial pen himself?" ”
Ye Yongjia hesitated, then said hesitantly: "This is ...... The imperial court transferred me to Beijing. ”
"Enter, enter Beijing?" Cai Xianqing's eyes widened, pretending to be surprised, "What position have you been promoted?" ”
Ye Yongjia was stunned for a moment, and then patted his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I was distracted at the time, I didn't hear the reason, and I missed the past." It's all right, I'll see. ”
He took down the decree without hesitation, flipped the scroll over, looked at it for a moment, and then put it back in its place: "It's the squire of the military department." ”
Cai Xianqing listened, not happy but sad, several lines of old tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and after a while, he covered his head and cried, beating his chest and feet, and he didn't stop for a long time.
Ye Yongjia was shocked, and hurriedly came to consol him, asking again and again why.
"The old man is a play, and he has always relied on the power of the county king, so he has to be at ease here," Cai Xianqing's voice was hoarse, "Now that I have repeatedly offended him, how can I be able to live in the future?" I hope that adults will not do it, and keep my whole family safe. He lowered his head slowly, his voice choked up.
Ye Yongjia was also nervously at a loss, pacing and sighing: "But I am leaving with an edict, how can I go against the holy will?" Cai Laoyi is looking for his way, and it is difficult for the younger generation to obey his fate. ”
"If you don't give up, the old man can support this body and bones and enter Beijing with you, but I'm afraid of ...... It has become a burden to adults. Cai Xianqing wiped her tears from her cuffs and secretly looked at him with expectant eyes.
After Ye Yongjia heard this, his eyes lit up with golden light, and he immediately knelt down and said, "Old Cai has repeatedly saved me from danger, so what's the harm in calling 'Engong'!" Ye is by no means a person who forgets his righteousness, at this time, he will definitely repay the kindness of the public! ”
When Cai Xianqing saw it, he also felt that he was deeply affectionate, and hurriedly held his arm: "If you can follow a hero like Tinglong, the old man will do his best to complement each other, and die without regrets!" ”
Xia Yuanlong stood in front of the main entrance of Sihe Academy. He watched how the seal had been posted one by one, and how the shiny plaque had been thrown on the side of the road with disgust. Every move of the official army aroused the anger in Xia Yuanlong's heart.
He watched as the people gradually gathered in the center of the street, so he ran out with his colleagues and shouted loudly as usual: "People! Ladies and gentlemen! The government's demolition of this academy is to punish your hearts! You've fought for it many times, and now what if you try it again?! Rush into the academy, otherwise this bright and bright world will be dark again! ”
These simple shouts no longer worked. The people stopped, but only stopped, staring at them in amazement; There were a few bold ones, but they just stretched their feet forward two steps and cast a pitying look at Xia Yuanlong.
Yuan Long still didn't give up, he kept shouting with red eyes, but unfortunately what he was waiting for was a rush of horses' hooves.
He turned back suddenly, and saw that two or three groups of cavalry had already been killed, and with two commands from the head, he wrapped the whole street into a circle.
"Xia Yuanlong! The leader of your family alliance has already been lowered, and this academy can be regarded as a violation of national law, and it has violated the people's feelings! Who do you think will hear your heresy? If you don't change your ways, you should be dealt with as rebellion! What kind of crime is this, don't you know what kind of crime you are the supervisor of the country! ”
Xia Yuanlong looked at his colleagues beside him, and then looked ahead with a pair of sharp eyes, which were still as sharp as a sword, and scared the horses back half a step. He laughed and said, "My academy has always been set up to save the people and the country, and if you want to kill the righteous, just come!" Let the people of the whole city of Nanjing see, this is the shame of your old thief! ”
The officer was furious, drew his sword and shouted: "Be bold and rebel, speak out, right and left, tie me up!" ”
The cavalry on both sides rushed up quickly, and the steel spears that were tightly clenched were aimed at Xia Yuanlong's head. And the latter closed his eyes and opened his arms, waiting for death to come.
