Chapter 8 There is a will to go south
"How far are we?"
"Back to my father-in-law, there is the foot of Qingshan Mountain in front of me. β
The old man stepped down from the carriage with his arms, and a young man followed, surrounded by officers and soldiers, all on white horses, their eyes staring out, their hands on the hilt of their swords. The first person drove his horse and asked, "Gonggong Zhao, what's the matter?"
Gonggong Zhao smiled and continued: "I'm tired of General Wang, our family is not feeling well, and I am about to shake my body in this carriage, so I want to get down and walk and practice my legs and feet." β
General Wang nodded and instructed a few soldiers to go and explore the way, while the rest marched in formation. He dismounted and walked with the old man. Zhao Gonggong signaled the young man to step back, and the two of them walked forward slowly.
A general and a eunuch walking side by side are not in line with secular common sense. But this general is not an ordinary general, and a eunuch is not an ordinary eunuch.
"Gonggong Zhao, the current imperial court is going to revive Taoism. β
The old man smiled and replied, "How could the general ask this?"
The green mountain is in front of you, and at the foot of the mountain is a courtyard house, and the more you go inside, the more you see its peace. The old people are smacking their pipes, and the children are playing in the streets. The sharp-eyed child saw the white horse, called for friends, and looked at it with watery eyes. The white horses also gave face, and one by one they strode with their heads held high, their hooves were grand, and the hair on their necks fluttered wantonly, causing the little ones to scream. The old yard, the cornices with a sense of history, and the eaves are covered with birds' nests, and birds shuttle among them.
Zhao Gonggong sighed: "You can see the ordinary everywhere in the green mountains. β
General Wang ordered his men to lead the horses, and replied: "If the world is long, I can also retire to the rivers and sail the world." β
"This is General Wang's wish? β
General Wang did not rush to answer, but looked seriously at the green mountains. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "Our soldiers are people of the Great Zhou, and it is our responsibility to serve the country and the people. β
"So I want the people to be safe, and of course most importantly, my family is safe. Otherwise, how can you come to the battlefield to die soldiers!"
"So I don't want this door to be a variable. β
The old man smiled again.
The green mountain is in front of you, and you can vaguely see the stone staircase that goes straight to the sky. General Wang stopped by the archway in front of the stone staircase, and Gonggong Zhao also stopped. I saw the soldiers lined up in front, without the slightest idea of entering the mountain gate.
General Wang bent down and said, "I was ordered to send my father-in-law to the mountain gate, and when my father-in-law came down from the mountain, I will send my father-in-law out of the state." β
Gonggong Zhao nodded, helped into the carriage, he raised the silk curtain, and said, "Then it will annoy General Wang." β
He lowered the curtain, and the carriage slowly moved forward the steps. Strange to say, when the white horse pulled in front of the car stepped on the stairs, the body did not make contact with the stairs, and floated on a foot. As if he could not feel the weight, the white horse swept away his previous fatigue and rushed forward, which surprised the soldiers below.
In the carriage, the old man took the tea made by the young man, and his eyes were a little cloudy. Seeing this, the young man asked, "Father-in-law, what did the general say to you, it made you unhappy." β
The old man pinched the tea lid with two fingers, knocked on the edge of the bowl, a little carelessly, and said: "He Wang Sheng is the general of Yizhou, and there is no one in the Taoist temple sent by Yizhou in Qingshan over the years, and he has a share of credit." The imperial court's move changed too quickly, and the heads of the people below had to turn around. If it is traced from above, he Wang Shengyi will bear the brunt. β
The young man asked again, and the old man briefly told him about the situation. But he actually thought more in his heart, Wang Sheng and he are both old men, and he won't say much, which words are said to him, this is a statement to the new emperor today. But he pondered that Wang Sheng seemed to support the resurgence of the Daomen, but what did Wang Sheng mean by this, is this the meaning of the whole Yizhou? orΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Today's Taiwei is from Yizhou.
It's too messy, the old man thought.
He knew that Xi had brought information about the secret realm of Southern Xinjiang, and he also knew the attitude of the new emperor towards Daomen today. He was originally instructed to investigate the current situation in the region and the extent of the new emperor's execution. I didn't expect to catch the ducks on the shelves, and last night I was sent to the holy decree and ordered to be sent to Qingshan in person. The team is also mixed, and it is not the imperial decree troops, but the troops of the Yizhou General's Mansion that were temporarily transferred. If it weren't for the arrival of the White Horse Imperial Decree, he might have suppressed it on the spot and returned to Beijing directly to return to the court.
The young man next to him probably didn't have any problems, and he was transferred to his side when he left Beijing and entered the land. The old man lifted the silk curtain, only to feel that everything seemed to be too logical, Xi suddenly retreated, the new Daomen line came out of the world, the holy decree was issued hastily, and the composition of the team, so he came to Qingshan, which was a little abnormal. The young man looked at the green mountains through the window and exclaimed. But in his eyes, the green mountains with clouds and mist seemed to be surrounded by a conspiracy, and he began to think about who would dare to calculate the imperial court, whether it was outside or inside?
The boy said, "Father-in-law, we're here." β
He looked up and saw the huge mountain gate, and saw a man standing below, his clothes fluttering.
"That was the Daomen walking just now?"
Zhao Gonggong sat at the table and smiled at Yangziju.
Yangziju replied very respectfully: "Yes, it is my senior brother." β
"Why did you just see our family and leave?
Yangziju recalled that when the senior brother saw the carriage, he frowned, explained and turned to leave. He had a headache, and hurriedly replied: "Senior brother originally wanted to receive Gonggong Zhao in person, but the second senior sister seemed to have something wrong and left. β
Zhao Gonggong nodded, seemingly agreeing with this statement. He said: "It is natural to take responsibility for walking the door, and this is the right thing to do. β
Yangziju's expression was a little solemn, but he thought that if the imperial court made it difficult for the identity of the senior brother, he would use the support of Taoism as a threat. He originally thought that he would have to get at least a few rounds of back and forth, but he didn't expect the court to admit it so easily. Does this mean that the new imperial court attaches great importance to Taoism?
The old man didn't seem to see this, and waited for him to come back to his senses with a smile, and then said: "This holy decree is still in our hands, and the main lord is not there, you will take it?"
The old man held it with both hands, and Yangziju knelt on the ground to catch it with both hands.
"The holy decree will be passed on to that person, but Your Majesty very much hopes that everyone from the Daomen will arrive in Beijing soon, and our family will leave first. β
"I'll send you. β
The two got up, and the young man walked out with the old man in his arms. The three of them walked to the door, and the young man suddenly asked, "What is the name of that walker?"
The old man was also a little curious, and turned to look at Yangziju.
Yangziju was a little embarrassed, thinking that he and his senior sister hadn't thought about this name yet, so they were fooling around first?
Zhao Gonggong said with a smile: "This name is indeed a problem, and I can give His Majesty an explanation." β
Yangziju thought about it, thought that he could make it up, and the image of Xi and Dan suddenly popped up in his mind, his brain twitched, and he blurted out: "Dog?"
Gonggong Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then praised with a smile: "It is worthy of walking in the Daomen, and the names are so meaningful." β
