Chapter 10: The Upper Dynasty
On the fourth day of the eighth month, Zheng Qiyan, who had been resting at home for 20 days, finally went to court.
Rumors have long spread in Beijing, saying that Zheng Qiyan was poisoned by the dead soldiers under the rebel thief king Hongbo, and the hospital was helpless, Zheng Qiyan poisoned his heart and lungs, and there was no medicine to treat.
However, Zheng Qiyan has been in the house for more than half a month, not going out an inch, making the rumors more and more true.
Although Bei Liang kissed a princess in exchange for more than ten years of peace, natural disasters have continued in the past two years, and he has been eyeing Da Yi Chao for this piece of fat. Although southern Xinjiang was peaceful, the Uighurs, who were adjacent to southern Xinjiang, did not have any kind eyes, and watched the fire from the other side, and from time to time planned to take the sheep by the hand. There are two generals guarding the border of Western Xia, so it is estimated that there is no need to worry about it for the time being.
Today is the first official early court after Zheng Qiyan's triumph, which can be described as the attention of everyone.
At most, the Holy Lord cared for Zheng Qiyan a few words, inquired about his condition, and the court discussed a few inconsequential matters in a very harmonious manner, and then dispersed.
It is now early autumn, and the sky is not yet dawn in the early dynasty, but it will be crowded in the next dynasty.
A gorgeously dressed child, jumping and shuttling through the crowd, followed by a few hard-working servants, chasing their "little master", while persuading the "little master" to hurry home, it is dangerous outside, there are bad people everywhere, the house is the safest, what do you want.
The bear boy held a slingshot, and from time to time picked up small pebbles from the ground and shot them at several servants, and the poor servants dodged left and right, and the small pebbles inevitably injured passers-by by accident.
The middle and back roads of the ten-mile long street were originally the most prosperous area in Shangjing, and now it happens to be the time of the next dynasty. Civil servants who get off work from the imperial city, call friends to find a place to discuss work, form parties and factions to contact feelings, and bow their heads and just go back to their homes to live behind closed doors, which greatly increases the pressure on transportation.
The bear child is small, and he is extremely nimble in drilling, and from time to time he turns around and grimaces and shouts, "Come and get me!" Big stupid! Master Ben knows that you don't have the ability to catch me! ”
Those servants ran profusely, and if it weren't for the fact that the bear child couldn't find the pebble later, they would either play the silver directly, or tear off the handy objects from the surrounding vendors and shoot them around, causing chaos one after another, successfully guiding them, and it is estimated that they would have been lost.
"Coincidentally", the bear child grabbed a jade pendant and popped it out, hitting the eye of a cow that was pulling goods. The cow was suddenly attacked, and its eyes were already fragile, and the jade pendant beat it out with blood in one eye, and under the unbearable pain, it rushed forward like crazy.
The ox cart was driven by a middle-aged strong man, desperately pulling the reins of the ox in an attempt to stop it, but with the strength of one person, where could he pull the crazy ox? The strong man could only tear open his throat and shout for everyone to leave, but he still didn't give up and tightly pulled the reins.
This cow is worth fifteen yuan, it was bought when he went up the mountain to hunt and went to Beijing to carry the work, and he finally made enough money one by one copper plates. Now the chewing of the family is all pointing to it, but I dare not have any accidents!
The ten-mile-long street was already crowded, as soon as the mad cow passed, people turned over on their backs, the bear child had long since disappeared, and several servants did not know where to chase it.
Zheng Qiyan refused the pull of many officials from the DPRK and China, and led the horse alone, intending to go home obediently and be a twenty-four filial husband, but he was alarmed by the riots ahead. He grinded his back molars, and scolded in his heart: This class of rabbit cubs, try not to hurt the people?
The cow was bleeding in one eye and blood-red in the other, and it staggered forward. Everywhere it passed, it was like a Category 9 typhoon raging, and it was unbearable to see.
Zheng Qiyan calmly patted his horse: "Stand aside and wait for me." Then a heel fight rode directly on the back of the ox, causing countless cheers from the melon-eating crowd.
Zheng Qiyan locked the neck of the cow with both hands, and the cow couldn't breathe, so his forefeet rose into the air and twisted his body, intending to shake off Zheng Qiyan. Zheng Qiyan followed the mad bull's momentum, his hands were still tightly locked on the cow's neck, his feet were bowed left and right, and he kicked the cow's abdomen several times in a row, the cow couldn't bear it, and finally fell to the ground, and Zheng Qiyan turned over lightly and stood aside.
The middle-aged strong man crawled to the fallen cow and hurriedly checked the injuries on the cow's body.
Zheng Qiyan was embarrassed for a while, stepped forward and patted the strong man's shoulder: "Brother, this cow Benhou bought it." Stretched out his hand and took out a hundred taels of silver ticket, handed it over and stuffed it onto the man.
The strong man was very simple: "Master Hou, you don't need so much money, it's too much, I ......"
"Later, by the way, I will help Ben Hou send the cattle to the Pingning Hou Mansion." While speaking, Zheng Qiyan saw that the strong man's hands were rubbed by the reins and his flesh and blood were blurred, so he said: "Forget it, your hand is badly injured, and you must rest for a few days, so as not to cause trouble if the wound is infected." After closing his words, he took out a bottle of Jinchuang medicine from his body and handed it over: "Wash your hands and put the medicine on." ”
Zheng Qiyan was mostly with ordinary people when he was young, he knew that even if ordinary people had money, they would not go to the hospital to check because of a little injury, even if they were seriously ill, most of them also relied on hard carrying, and it was good to resist it, but it couldn't be pulled.
The strong man seemed to be a sincere person who was not good at expressing himself, so he stayed where he was and twisted, Zheng Qiyan patted him on the shoulder again, pointed to the ox cart that ran all the way, and landed scattered items such as vegetables and mountain goods that were trampled all over the place, and said: "You are a citizen from outside the city, and you came into the city to buy and sell things, right?" ”
The strong man nodded desperately a few times, and said, "Yes." ”
"My wife, I have always liked pine nuts, chestnuts and mushrooms, you go back to rest for a few days, heal your injuries, and help Ben Hou get some, okay?"
"Good, good ......"
Zheng Qiyan walked forward calmly, the strong man nodded and followed behind, and said with a little stammer: "Master Hou, I, small, small mountain." ”
"High mountain, good name." Gao Shan grinned happily, and went back to hastily treat the wound on his hand while helping Zheng Qiyan look after the cow.
There was once a sour literati who described the ten-mile long street when he went to Beijing, pouring an inkstone out, and at least half of the ten were officials on duty, and the other half, eighty percent were their entourage.
The officials Zheng Qiyan personally took action to control the mad cow, and those who were smart immediately came out of all the corners to help evacuate the masses. By the way, he paid out of his own pocket to compensate those injured people or vendors whose goods were damaged, and called on the shops along the street to clean up the long street, and in less than half an hour, the ten-mile long street returned to a busy and chaotic state.
The goal was achieved, and the various forces lurking in Shangjing were successfully deterred, Zheng Qiyan took the lead and hid the shadows and plots. Looking up at the sun, noon is approaching, and it is just right to go home to have lunch with my little wife.
