Chang'an, the capital.

In the Qiankun Hall in the palace, the new Kandi Li Dai sat behind the yellow silk case, and the eunuch Zhao Ying, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, bowed his head and lowered his eyebrows, smiling.

Outside the door, the little eunuch lifted the curtain slightly, and the big eunuch Zhao Ying turned his head and bowed slightly. Take a step carefully and come to the big case.

"Your Majesty, the commander of the waiting officer, Yu Longwei, asks for a meeting in the summer, autumn and winter."

"Well, let him in."

After a while, a young man walked in from outside the door, wearing a big red fish and dragon suit, with a blue background and wavy painted piping, a resolute face, a cold temperament, and deep eyes.

"Wechen see Your Majesty in summer, autumn and winter."

New Kandi Li Dai raised his head slightly, put down his hand to report, and said in a deep voice:

"Well, let's calm down first."

Kneeling on the ground, Xia Qiudong stood up, and New Kandi continued:

"What did Xia Aiqing do when she entered the palace this time?"

Xia Qingming bowed down again and said:

"Back to Your Majesty, a spy under Gu Weichen came to report that the Wei Nian Yaotun soldier who tried to rebel and established himself as the king of Anxing will soon raise troops again in a vain attempt to capture Yuezhou City."

Hearing the report, New Kandi Li Dai's expression changed slightly, and he said:

"Is there an exact time? How much is the garrison? ”

Xia Qingming bowed slightly, and reported slowly:

"Before Xiaoman, there were nearly 3,000 soldiers."

The new Kande sat upright in the big chair, calm as usual.

"Well, summer, autumn and winter."

Xia Qiu Dong fell to his knees with a thud, waiting for the holy will.

"You personally led three hundred fish dragon guards to Yuezhou, and I allocated you another two thousand Pingsha troops, so you must solve this matter."

After speaking, Xia, Dongqiu shouted under the big case.

"Obey Your Majesty's holy will!"

The Emperor nodded slightly, no longer paying attention to the matter. In his eyes, the so-called An Xingjun is just a group of local chickens and dogs, and what makes him slightly upright is the amazing and brilliant Wei Nianyao, the only five-ranked jinshi since the founding of this dynasty, even if it is a major crime of rebellion, Li Dai gave him a chance back then, but unfortunately he has been carried away by power, Li Dai shook his head slightly, and said secretly in his heart:

"It's a pity."

Emperor Xinkang waved his hand to signal that he could retreat, Xia Qingming didn't look up, but he could know the meaning, stood up, and slowly exited the gate, only to hear the emperor say:

"How is Xia Aiqing's injury?"

Xia Qingming was slightly stunned, and then said:

"Your Majesty Xie cares, it's no big deal."

"Hmm."

Li Dai nodded slightly, and then did not look at Xia Qingming again, who walked out of the gate backwards and left the palace under the leadership of the little eunuch.

The three guards of the waiting officials are the Xuanjia Guard, which supervises the hundred officials, the Fish Dragon Guard, which monitors the rivers and lakes, and the most mysterious Mocking Wind Guard, which is the emperor's side.

It is worth mentioning that Xuanjiawei was originally responsible for supervising hundreds of officials and rivers and lakes, but in the past year, the waiting officials set up fish and dragon guards, and the responsibility of monitoring the forces of the rivers and lakes fell into the hands of fish and dragon guards.

Yuezhou City, a wine shop in the city.

Xiao Er came to Wei Zigeng's table with a little distress and confusion, and when he saw that there was one less table of guests, he was even more puzzled, because they hadn't settled the bill yet.

Wei Zigeng saw his expression and said with a smile:

"The table just now is a friend I just met, and the money for the food and drinks is on my head."

The shopkeeper's expression eased slightly, his monthly money was only three dollars of silver, if there was a table of orders, then he would be in vain this month, so he had a good impression of the young man in front of him.

Seeing that the shopkeeper still refused to leave with a dark face, Wei Zigeng asked with a smile:

"What else?"

The shopkeeper had to scratch his head and smiled awkwardly:

"Guest officer, we have already poured three jars of wine for your gourd, but the wine is only at the bottom, this ...... You see......"

At first, the shopkeeper took the money and told the shopkeeper that a fool outside gave him three taels of silver, as long as he got some wine and food and filled it with wine gourds, the shopkeeper reprimanded him a little when he heard it.

"You should do as much as you charge, although we are only a small business, but reputation is the first business!"

But the shopkeeper only felt that the shopkeeper was stubborn, and he didn't understand the truth that people had no foreign wealth and were not rich.

But when the shopkeeper brought wine and food from the back hall to give to the wronged guest in his mouth, the shopkeeper's wine gourd was not yet full, and he came forward to inquire only to find that this seemingly small gourd had been filled with three jars of wine, and it was not yet full, and he knew that he had met a master.

After a while, the old shopkeeper with a gray beard and a slumped back came to their table with a delicate and small wine gourd in his hand, and handed three taels of silver to Wei Zigeng, with an apologetic smile on his face.

"This guest officer, don't use this money, we are really dissatisfied with your wine gourd, we are really dissatisfied with the four jars of wine, what do you think of this, this table of wine and food and the wine in the gourd are even if I invite you, what do you think?"

Xu Yue looked at Wei Zigeng in even more surprise this time, and then looked at the wine gourd in front of him, his eyes burning.

Wei Zigeng took the wine gourd and hung it on his waist, then poured a glass of wine for Xu Yue and himself and said:

"You don't know how to do anything when you say this, you took the money, you agreed to it, and finally told me that you can't do it? When we first arrived, my brother specially introduced me, a foreigner who had just come here, to your house for a drink, and praised him again and again on the way, "The shopkeeper, this is not the way this business is done." ”

Xu Yue heard that the young man on the side was a brother, and his heart suddenly warmed.

The shopkeeper's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this, and his eyes frequently looked at Xu Yue on the side, and the latter also saw that this wine gourd was extraordinary and the shopkeeper's expression, and wanted to go up to persuade the brother he had just met, but the young man stopped him.

"Well, that's good. Even if Xiao Lao'er goes bankrupt today, he will fill the gourd for the guest officer! ”

Wei Zigeng waved his hand and said lightly:

"For my brother's sake, that's it, but this little second should remember that people can't be good-looking, although my brother is not good now, he will definitely be extraordinary in the future."

Wei Zigeng pushed the three taels of silver on the table to the shopkeeper and said:

"Since I gave the silver, there is absolutely no reason to take it back, I should pay the money and pay the same, this is the rule, you are getting me some food and I will take it away later."

The old shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were overjoyed when they heard this, and without waiting for the shopkeeper to speak, the latter immediately put away the broken silver on the table and strode towards the back hall, not forgetting to read it in his mouth.

"A pound of sauce beef, half a pound of peanuts, and a big fat goose, guests will pack it and take it away."

Wei Zigeng looked at the hovering shopkeeper and smiled slightly, and the old shopkeeper said apologetically:

"The guest officer smiled, my little two are diligent and can endure hardships, but I don't accumulate virtue in my mouth, and you can't listen to what you say."

If Wei Zigeng must investigate this matter today, there is really nothing he can do, his family has no power here, and when he encounters such a thing, he can almost only admit it, thinking of this, he can't help but look at the beggar Xu Yue who didn't look down on him very much in the past.

"If you're lucky enough to meet me today, someone else would have fought a long time ago."

Wei Zigeng waved his hand to signal that the old shopkeeper was fine, and Xu Yue stopped talking on the side, which was a rare kindness he had received over the years.

"Come, drink, what's the matter with your expression? I've asked them to pack a copy and take it away, don't worry. ”

Wei Zigeng remembered that he had a younger brother of Wen Zou Zou when he spoke, and he also knew that what Xu Yue wanted to say was not this matter.

He just wanted to say thank you.

Xu Yue nodded, with a sincere smile.

Outside the east gate of Yuezhou City, in the academy, the sound of reading is endless.

The academy is built near the lake and the mountain, named Yishan Academy, jointly funded by the merchants and people in the city, the academy occupies an acre of land in the contemporary dean Lu Er, fortunately he himself is an old talent, so he knows that the academy is also very happy to see it.

At this moment, at the gate of the academy, a young man held on to the door frame, his thin body, slightly pale face, sewing and mending the shampooed white cyan robe, if it weren't for the fluffy hair, he couldn't tell that he was a beggar, at this time the beggar was quietly listening to the sound of reading aloud.

"The crown is a few feet high, and the sages have no self. Yiren is virtuous and prosperous, and I would rather eat millet in my heart. ”

"Thousands of saints inherit only one way, and the worry and diligence are especially deep. The principle of sincerity is interestless, and there is interest and goodness is not the heart of heaven and earth. ”

"Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. The little help, the relatives, the help, the world. ”

At this moment, an old man came from the side angrily with a cane, and saw that the young beggar had not noticed that he had slammed his cane on his body.

"You beggar, come here all day long, do you really want to learn and don't want money?"

Although the old man didn't hit very hard, but the beggar in front of him couldn't help but feel a little painful, so he could only hold his shoulders and leave suddenly, before leaving, he looked back at the academy, with reluctance and firmness in his eyes.

The young beggar's name was Xu Yin, and this beggar loved to read.
