Chapter 277: Entering the Door and Meeting the Watchdog (Part II)
More than 30 years ago, in the tenth year of Emperor Wu Jian, Xirong, a vassal state of the Western Regions, was rumored to be instigated by the Guge Dynasty in the extreme west, and united several other surrounding tribes to form a coalition state to launch a rebellion.
During the reign of Emperor Wu Jian, who had a serious martial complex, he gathered 100,000 troops from Longyou Province and dispatched more than 40,000 soldiers from various provinces around the capital to garrison the imperial expedition, resulting in the emptiness of the capital's defense.
The Guge Dynasty took this opportunity to promise a lot of money to the Beiyi tribe in the Gongbei Governor's Mansion, and the interests of the Beiyi were heartbroken, and sent nearly a thousand light horsemen all the way south, bypassing the Guannei Road and running for thousands of miles, crossing the grassland next door, and attacking the capital by surprise.
At that time, through some operations secretly in his daughter-in-law's mother's house, the rangers who had gradually improved on the way to officialdom were ready to leave with their children at night.
It's just that his daughter-in-law Xiaozhi threatened her with emotion and reason, her thumb and index finger, and threatened her with death, and the only prince with a different surname in the Great Zhou Dynasty, who later became famous all over the world, had to honestly fight against the thousand Beiyi elites with his own strength.
The only 2,000 reserve soldiers in the capital retreated without fighting under the leadership of a general who had also never experienced a war, and after assassinating dozens of light horsemen and destroying several grain and grass warehouses outside the city, he invited 18 martial arts masters from five provinces and thirteen states, sect masters, and martial arts giants, to turn the tide and defeat the enemy outside the city at the last moment.
Naturally, in the extremely detailed battle for the defense of the capital recorded in the history books, whether it was at that time or later, the most inked was naturally the nightfall.
It is true that what he did when he was right is indeed admirable.
It was also in that year that Emperor Wu Jian's class returned to the dynasty, remembering his courage and loyalty, and set up a special backer king, and set up a vacant position to seal the night as the first prince with a different surname since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that he could make a great difference in ten years, and he was sealed with the national seal.
The night came to live up to expectations, and with the secret help of the Neizi Ning family, it only took five years, whether it was civil rule or martial arts, there were many merits, and he did not promote the three grades in a row, and became a member of the three grades of the court.
Emperor Wujian will practice what he says, and the New Year's Dajiao held on March 3 of that year personally sealed the night as the king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and gave the capital Nanpan Mountain as a fief, which can raise soldiers, enter the court without worshipping, and can commit crimes without dying.
Many honors are added, and people all over the world are envious.
After all, a six- or seven-grade captain became the pillar of the country, the pillar of the imperial court, and the thousands of years of history in Middle-earth, which can be regarded as unprecedented.
Later, Emperor Wu Jian, who had made great achievements in martial arts, in order to prevent the recurrence of similar things that damaged the face of the great country, transferred tens of thousands of militiamen, and according to the calculations of the Kanyu Division, it took four years to build a Beijing city similar to the capital in the north of the capital, which means the border of the capital and guards the imperial capital.
It is said that this complementarity can be like a horn with the mountain, just like the dragon's head, and the number of days is secretly combined.
For the details of this, there are many unspeakable unavoidable reasons, so this conversation that should be after tea and dinner was transferred to another place.
After all, this is a reward on the surface, and there are more things that people can't figure out in private.
The monarch has always been good at power and strategy, Emperor Wu Jian canonized the night on the surface, but he was taboo in his family that won the mantle of the heir, so in private, in order to restrain this martial arts master who became the king at the age of the establishment, secretly recalled the 18 people who had been entrusted by the night to guard the capital, and invited them to sit in the capital and Beijing with high-ranking officials.
These eighteen people were originally from the martial arts, and that kind of free nature was not ashamed of the temple, and seeing that when the Chinese New Year's Eve came to join the imperial court as Jianghu people, these people were also sarcastic and ridiculed behind their backs, but they did not dare to move to the open face because of the means of night fall.
Now such a good thing has also fallen on himself, and then look at the night in just a few years, he has been added to the rank of official and ranked, and one by one he has become greedy, completely forgetting his original face full of benevolence and morality such as "Jianghu people are ashamed of being the eagle dog of the court", and they all accepted the gift, and had the official position of "Marquis of Si Yan", and became the gatekeeper of the imperial city, the capital and the capital in the mouth of Emperor Wujian.
It's just that they forgot that the night came to the hall with the current power but they broke out step by step, and these eighteen people were only able to get the blue eyes of the saint by chance and chance when they were ashamed of the night, and it would be okay if they were to be someone else.
In this way, those people in the martial arts who have not had such an opportunity are jealous, and secretly refer to Sang and scolding Huai as "dogs" - dogs at night.
It's just that the secrets and twists and turns inside, how can those people in the rivers and lakes know?
As a result, these eighteen people have the nickname of "watchdog" - it is just a reckless tongue of the people in the rivers and lakes, and if they can't get it, they have to take advantage of it.
Later, after more than 30 years, some of these eighteen people were thin-skinned, and after a long time, they couldn't stand this kind of banter, and they couldn't stand the pointing and pointing of the good people around them, so they resigned and went home, and the right became a passerby. There were also some people who were already old and were called into the court, just to gain a reputation and die of old age. also did his duty, fought for his life with some dead soldiers who plotted against him, and died in office.
Up to now, the 18 people who are nicknamed "watchdogs" have gone to 15, one in the palace, one in the capital, and one in Beijing.
It is said that many years ago, when this person returned to his hometown to visit relatives, he accidentally heard someone in the township mention these three words, and in a fit of anger he killed people all over the house.
The one who guards the door in the capital has a neutral attitude towards this title, and he can see it, after all, what he does is this kind of livelihood for people, just a title, and he can still lose a piece of meat? It is also the most popular person who is the most popular, no one can be offended, whether you are a peddler or a dignitary, as long as it does not involve interests, it will be good, yes yes.
There is also this one in Beijing, who wanders around in this big and small city all day long, and he can't be idle, he doesn't stop for a moment, he laughs at everyone, and he calls himself a "watchdog" to everyone, and he seems to like this title very much, and others call him "Gou Lord", which is naturally "Gou" not "dog", because his surname is Gou, and his name is new.
Since he was born, he has been holding the name of the eldest grandson of the king of the Panshan backer in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he has been in Beijing for so many years, even if he has never seen it, how can he not know this watchdog?
"It turned out to be Master Gou Rixin." Ye San said more politely, since he was recognized, naturally there was no need to hide anything, otherwise it would only increase the morale of the little family and make people laugh.
The old man smiled and said, "The third prince still remembers the old age, flattered, flattered." ”
Before the words were spoken, there was a burst of hearty laughter.
Ye San's more straight to the point, not verbose, said: "I'm dressed like this, doesn't Master Gou recognize it?" I guess I said I was flattered, but I was only surprised. ”
For the temptation in the words of the third watch of the night, Gou Rixin, who has lived for seventy or eighty years, can naturally hear it, and said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence, isn't this the job that the old man does." happened to pass by, and felt that the third son's line was really a little mismatched, so he took a few more looks. Fortunately, this pair of tricks is reasonable, and there is no distraction. Why, when the third son came back, why did he come to the rented house if he didn't go home first? ”
Holding the hat on his head, this feels really nondescript, after all, he bought it for his sister to avoid people's eyes, and he was a big man who didn't have to think much about it to wear it, which was indeed a bit counterproductive.
Without waiting for Ye Sanchang to speak, Ye Yaoer stuck his head out of the carriage and greeted with a smile: "I don't know if Master Gou got a reminder from someone in advance, and I can't say for sure." ”
Gou Rixin smiled dumbly, but he still smiled politely and said: "What does the second miss mean by this, in the past month or so, the two of them have come all the way to the west, so ostentatious, and they still need to be reminded?" ”
Ye Yao avoided the seriousness and said lightly: "This is really fast, more than half a month, I will know it?" ”
There was no doubt in the tone, more teasing, obviously making fun of Gou Rixin chewing the root of his tongue here.
The old man has stayed in the former Xi'an City in Chang'an for half his life, so he naturally knows this woman's sharp teeth, and he doesn't follow her words, and says: "The second lady and the third son don't go back to the Night King's Mansion, do you come here to rent a house to buy a house or rent a house?" ”
"Why haven't you seen me for three years, Lord Gou stopped watching the door and started to inquire about intelligence?"
Ye Ya Yi sarcastically said, but the old man didn't speak, still smiling.
Ye Yaoer paused for a moment and explained to himself: "You've heard of the two of me like this now, won't you stab the sky when you go home, let's not talk about the others, who can stand the Yelin bell making trouble?" ”
As if remembering the battle outside the city a few years ago that attracted celestial phenomena, Gou Rixin nodded with a smile and said directly, "Indeed."
Ye Ya Yi continued: "It's not about thinking about finding a house first, thinking about how to deal with the rest of the matter. Speaking of which, I don't know if the name of Lord Titigou in the rented house can be convenient and cheaper? ”
Gou Rixin laughed heartily again, and said: "Second Miss, don't make fun of the old man like this, my name is not as good as the second Miss, the second Miss took the third son to go, I'm afraid that just with this face, it is a great convenience." ”
Ye Yaoyi nodded with a chuckle, and said, "Since Lord Gou knows my reputation and knows that my face is worth some money, then please be cautious and don't talk nonsense with others." If I go back to Beijing this time and want to find a mother-in-law on a whim, if my reputation is bad and I can't marry for the rest of my life, who do you think I should blame? Well? ”
The last soft question, Ye Yaoer didn't plan to reply to Gou Rixin, put down the curtain, and stopped talking.
Ye San pressed the hat, started a round, and said: "Just this temper, don't be surprised by Lord Gou." ”
After that, he ignored the strange-looking old man, did not enter the rental house, and went back to the car.
The watchdog, who had watched Beijing from zero to more than 30 years, turned his head to look at the carriage that had gone away, and only smiled bitterly for a long time.
"It's really getting more and more regressive, and it scares a girl."
