Devil’s Advent

Chapter 485

The horse's hooves trampled on the green bricks of Litian City, making muffled noises.

the first one,

A white filial piety,

Pixiu under the crotch moves forward slowly.

After seeing this scene, all the officials who were preparing to greet them fell silent, and the festivities and auspicious words they had prepared before were useless.

The people of Litian City were originally very interested in this Uncle Hirano, half of it was because of his military exploits, and the other half was because of Princess Da Chu.

They are Jin people, so they don't have that kind of pride and honor, but this does not prevent them from watching the excitement.

However,

After seeing this scene,

The people of Litian City seem to have recalled the terror and oppression brought to the entire Litian City by the sudden death of Mrs. Jingnan Hou two years ago.

No one dared to come up to stop them, everyone only dared to watch from a distance.

Liao Xian, the prefect of Litian City, did not appear here, nor did the group of real high-ranking officials and dignitaries of Litian City represented by him.

They knew that Uncle Hirano had entered Beijing under the imperial edict, but on his way to the capital, Uncle Hirano should not have passed through Litian City.

Relying on their status, there is no need for them to rush out of the city to greet them. If they really did, it would not be to express "feelings", but to flatter them.

However, behind the scenes, the steward of the prefect's mansion has already booked a private restaurant in the best restaurant in Litian City, planning to take over for Uncle Hirano.

However, after learning that Uncle Hirano led his personal guards into the city, the person in charge went to the restaurant again and canceled the reservation for tonight.

All fools know

tonight,

Not suitable for banquets.

The team marched in Litian City, and finally stopped in front of the original Jingnanhou's Mansion.

The plaque on the door of Jingnanhou's Mansion is still hanging there. It was taken off and replaced with "Jingnan Prince's Mansion" for a while, but later, because of the killing of prisoners outside Yupan City, His Majesty cut off Lord Tian Wujing .

The army can not pay attention to this, and still call Tian Wujing the prince, and each one is more cheerful than the other;

But on the official side of Litian City, this door plaque really needs to be replaced.

The two stone lions at the door are still there, but they haven't moved.

After all, this is the residence of the Marquis of Jingnan.

It's okay to move a plaque, but if you continue to move the rest inside, then everyone will have to weigh it.

after all,

The Jingnan Army is still there,

The Marquis of Jingnan himself is still there,

It's not yet time for the wall to fall and everyone to push it.

Uncle Zheng got off his horse, and the knights behind him also dismounted. On both sides of the Jingnan Hou Mansion, there were many people and officials standing, and the servants of the Litian Mansion were nervously maintaining order.

Eight hundred years ago, Dayan used horses to guard his family and country. Now, he is fighting for the world with horses. As a member of the army, he is a bit aloof.

Coupled with Uncle Zheng's multiple identities, it is even more detached.

Therefore, no one stopped, and no one dared to ask, the big guy could only watch silently.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Xiong Liqing, who was dressed in white, got out of the carriage, and walked behind Uncle Zheng very quietly.

The gate of the Marquis of Jingnan is closed, and there are a group of soldiers guarding the gate.

In the Hou Mansion, there is the mourning hall of Mrs. Jingnan Hou.

for a long time,

There is no exact Jingnan Hou Mansion,

Tianjia, not counting;

Looking south at the house in the city doesn't count either.

The Marquis of Jingnan lived in this mansion in Litian City for quite a long time, but it shouldn't be counted, but there is a tablet of Du Juan inside.

Uncle Zheng went up the stairs,

The stone lions on both sides seemed to still be exuding that faint smell of blood. This faint smell made Uncle Zheng feel a little nervous, and even his footsteps were a little dizzy.

The soldier at the door opened the door without waiting for orders.

immediately,

Divide into two rows and kneel down on one knee facing Zheng Fan:

"See Uncle Hirano!"

Since the Marquis of Jingnan took command of the Eastern Expedition, he has never returned to Litian City. For the Jingnan soldiers guarding the mansion, Uncle Hirano is the first guest to enter the mansion since the Marquis left.

Uncle Zheng and the princess entered the mansion together, and the guards at the rear also followed. After everyone entered, the soldier at the door closed the gate again and stood with a knife in his hand.

It was supposed to be the season when everything was revived and flourished, but in the Hou Mansion, it seemed very deserted.

When Lord Hou left, he ordered that no one should be taken care of in the Hou mansion.

actually,

Since the day Du Juan died, the Hou Mansion has never been taken care of.

Even the mourning hall is the same as before.

There is a small courtyard behind the mourning hall.

yard,

There is a tomb.

Yes, Du Juan's grave is in the mansion.

The world is very big, and most of the land in Jin was conquered by the Marquis of Jingnan, but his wife did not have a place to rest in.

Although the Tian family's ancestral grave in Yanjing is still there, it is obviously impossible to go back.

Zheng Fan sat down on the threshold in front of the mourning hall,

I remember that day, when I rode my horse into Litian City and entered the Hou Mansion, Jingnan Hou was sitting here.

It was also on that day that Tian Wujing's hair turned white overnight.

Right and wrong, who is right and who is wrong, in fact, many things are not true, no matter how complicated the laws and regulations are, it is impossible to judge the complicated things in this world.

In many things, it is impossible to tell right from wrong, nor can there be a reason.

To divide and divide, everyone still depends on the chair on their own buttocks, so don't worry about those hypocritical solemnity, just start from the chair under their own buttocks, and everything will be clear.

"Sir, I'm going to offer incense sticks."

Zheng Fan nodded.

The princess walked into the mourning hall to offer incense.

Zheng Fan continued to sit there.

This sat, sat until late at night.

During the period, the princess came over to put a cloak on Uncle Zheng and then left quietly.

actually,

The relationship between Uncle Zheng and Du Juan is not very good. In the first time, he did some things for the Secret Service and met a few times. After that, it was also because of her relationship with the Marquis of Jingnan that Zheng Fan was cheeky. Shouted "Sister" a few times.

sit here

It is too hypocritical for Zheng Fan to mourn for Du Juan for so long.

What Zheng Fan remembers is Lord Hou,

I still remember that in the Tianduan Mountains, Lord Hou asked himself about raising babies.

At that time, Zheng Fan felt the humanity from Lord Hou.

early years,

Everyone in the world thinks that Jingnanhou violated human relations and destroyed his family for the sake of his personal official position, but after Jingnanhou's big victories, few people in the world said such things anymore.

Because obviously, for the sake of personal prosperity and wealth, wouldn't it be okay to rebel and become the emperor?

In the four eastern countries, there are countless generals in the army. Who dares to stand up and say that they are definitely better at fighting than Tian Wujing?

Furthermore,

Tian,

This is Dayan's first-class family.

"well."

Zheng Fan shook his head,

Continue to sit there.

Tonight's moonlight, with dizziness, spread down, and the mercury poured down.

Zheng Fan turned his face sideways and looked to the side, as if he could see Lord Hou sitting here like himself, with snow-white hair.

"Why bother, why bother?"

Zheng Fan lowered his head slightly,

he,

Fell asleep.

...

In Litian City's prefect's mansion, Liao Xian was sitting in his study, and in front of him sat a group of senior officials of Litian City.

The notification from Yingdu came later than usual.

The earliest letter must have been sent directly to Beijing, and the communication between other ministries would naturally lag behind.

In the afternoon, Uncle Hirano had already entered the city.

At dusk, the news about Yingdu entered the Litian prefect's mansion.

At this time,

The envoy of Litian City said cautiously:

"Uncle Hirano, didn't you come to us to put down the rebellion?"

My lords here,

Someone wants to laugh, but can't.

Because they suddenly thought that maybe Yingdu's colleagues also laughed like this at that time.

Everyone can only look at each other.

at last,

Liao Xian said;

"Mobilize half of the Yan army's camp outside the city into the city, and divide the remaining soldiers and horses into two groups to guard against the Jin army camp;

Order the participating generals and above generals of the Jin army camp outside the city to enter the prefect's mansion, and tell them that they are officials, and they will have a banquet to reward them. "

"Yes, my lord."

No matter what, it is always prepared.

Liao Xian picked up the snuff bottle, inhaled it, waved his hand, and said:

"It's all gone, all the ministries and yamen, go back and tidy it up, it's okay if there is no accident, once there is an accident, whoever's yamen has an accident, he will take the official hat to take responsibility."

...

Different from the mobilization and tension inside and outside Litian City,

this night,

Although Uncle Zheng said he was sleeping on the threshold,

But it was a good night's sleep.

after waking up,

Stretched.

At this time,

The blind man just walked in from the outside.

"Exactly, let's have breakfast together."

The breakfast food is very simple. To be precise, there is no fire in the mansion, and it is ready-made bought from outside.

Zheng Fan and the blind man sat face to face.

Uncle Zheng ate noodles,

The blind eat porridge,

There are also many characteristic breakfasts of Litian City in front of him, which are very rich.

"My lord, the interrogation of the three members of the Hun family has been completed."

"Um."

Zheng Fan was not surprised by the blind man's interrogation ability.

"They are indeed members of the Hun Clan. In the Hun Clan, there is no sect title, and there is no ancestor court, because what they do is a shady job, so it is impossible to have an open door, and they are afraid of being revenged.

Their lair is in Quhe City. "

"From Quhe City?"

"yes."

"What are you doing here?"

"Because their master, known as Cha Sanren in Hunmen, was arrested by the Secret Service and is now locked in the prison in Litian City. This Cha Sanren is involved in a case of military capital corruption and will be escorted to Yanjing for trial. , the three of them intend to save their master on the way."

"It can be regarded as affectionate and righteous."

"Otherwise, it's because their master secretly hid the property that belonged to all of them by defrauding them in a place, and only his master knew about this place.

They said it themselves, if it wasn't for this, they wouldn't care about that old thing's life or death. "

"Well, true."

"There are a lot of deceptions in the muddy family. When the Lord saw them, they had already played tricks on themselves, which was to make themselves absolutely believe in their new identities, and then when they were deceiving, they could be absolutely realistic.

Previously, they were actually practicing at the foot of Tianhu Mountain. After practicing, they went to the wine shop to eat. "

"It's a bit convoluted."

"It's purely a chance of luck. It can only be said that it's a coincidence."

"hehe."

"Their practice is also to find out some problems. This is actually a kind of self-hypnosis, but the effect is so good that the woman who hypnotized herself as the apprentice of the Juggernaut wants to see the sword of the Juggernaut wholeheartedly.

This is a kind of self-hypnosis.

Because what they have to face is someone from the Secret Service, so they can't show any timidity. "

"It's a big bet."

This is to use his own name to take away that Cha Sanren, a good way to hide the truth.

"The subordinates feel that these three people can be kept temporarily, and they may be useful in the future."

"Cha Sanren, in the prison?"

"yes."

"Do you want to collect them together?"

"The subordinates think it's okay."

"Let Gao Yi pick up the person later, how can I transport it back?"

"Let the Litian City garrison send someone to escort it back to Xueguan, and Chen Daxia can take charge."

"Him? He's easy to deceive."

"That was before."

"Forget it, Daxia Chen came here this time because he wanted to learn from the Sword Master. Let Gao Yi bring a hundred guards to escort them back."

"good."

Uncle Zheng doesn't think it's a big problem whether Litian City will let people go.

As long as he can leave here immediately, the prefect of Litian City will most likely agree to any request.

"Where's Fu Shun'er?" Zheng Fan asked.

"The subordinate didn't ask him what the investigation found."

"Send them back together."

"Yes, my lord."

Zheng Fan nodded and finished the noodle soup.

put down the bowl

road:

"Pack up, let's hurry up and start."

...

Yanjing,

palace,

Royal study.

If the court hall is the power center of Dayan, then the imperial study room here is the symbol of the most core power of the entire country.

If it is a weak emperor, the imperial study room may be a decoration;

But the current Holy Majesty obviously has nothing to do with decorations,

every day,

The will issued from here will be carefully pondered by many civil and military personnel in the entire center.

God's power is unpredictable,

In this supreme body, it is fully interpreted.

After the trial,

Emperor Yan threw a booklet aside,

Wei Zhonghe, who was waiting by his side, immediately picked up the folder and sent it to Zhao Jiulang, the prime minister below.

Most of the time, in the imperial study room, there are basically only two people, the monarch and his ministers, reviewing some memorials. Zhao Jiulang was born in a humble background and was promoted by the Emperor Yan in one fell swoop. It should belong to this prime minister.

Zhao Jiulang opened the booklet and found that it was sent by Mao Mingcai, the prefect of Yingdu.

In the past month, Yingdu's booklets have been several times more than usual.

But this time it was not because of the rebellion or asking the imperial pen to criticize so and so, but because of the flood in Wangjiang.

Right now, the rainy season has not yet arrived, but there are already some signs. Mao Mingcai wrote a letter to ask the court to approve additional military rations for the next season so that the points can be used to improve the river work.

Zhao Jiulang closed the folder.

Emperor Yan smiled and said:

"Mao Mingcai is indeed a man of work."

Zhao Jiulang echoed:

"yes."

The rebellion in Yingdu ended when Taifu Sun came out to rectify it again. Mao Mingcai did not continue to focus on these things, but focused on the river engineering.

It is indeed worthy of the title of a frontier official.

Some officials spare no effort in court strife, but when it comes to secular affairs, they shirk as much as they can. Such people are not beneficial to the country.

"Your Majesty, the Wangjiang river project was originally an important task that the Situ family had to manage every year. It was delayed due to the war in the past two years. If it is true as Mao Mingcai said, we have taken precautions since the beginning of the day. The land of the Three Jin Dynasty is recuperating. We can no longer be tossed by floods."

Dayan is now facing a very serious problem, that is, the annexation of the three Jin lands is progressing too fast.

Originally, it was no problem to lay down half of the land and slowly pack it up, but the savages entered the pass, and finally forced Jingnan Hou to take command again and directly beat down the entire Jin land.

In this way, Dayan will be responsible for the defense and governance of the entire Jin region, basically transfusing blood from Yan to Jin.

Now, it is no longer expected that Jindi can return to Yandi in a short time. I just hope that Jindi can recover a little vitality earlier and reduce the burden on Yandi.

"The Ministry of Industry sent a special person to preside over the river work, and then ordered Mao Mingcai to use the former officials of the Ministry of Industry of Chengguo and those with experience in river management to participate together.

Ai Qing will make arrangements. "

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Watching the fifth prince, Ji Chengwen, watch the Fenggong Department. He always likes those things. This time, I will give him a chance. My big swallow, I don't want to raise a waste prince."

"Your Majesty, are you asking His Highness the Fifth Highness to send the people from the Ministry of Industry to Yingdu immediately?"

"No hurry, Uncle Hirano is going to Beijing soon, right?"

Wei Zhonghe responded immediately: "It should be soon to return to His Majesty."

"The Ministry of Industry still needs time to prepare, and the Ministry of Households also needs to prepare additional food and supplies for the next season in Yingdu. When Uncle Hirano returns, let Cheng Wen and Uncle Hirano go back to Jindi together.

By the way, did Ai Qing read the boundless excerpt? "

"Responding to His Majesty's words, I read it. His Highness led an army on the front line of Nanwang City and defeated two groups of dry troops in a row, stabilizing the situation."

"Well, in this world, apart from Wu Jing, I have never seen a general who is invincible in all battles, and I, Dayan, only have Wu Jing.

This child was raised by me in the military camp since he was a child. He is good at everything, but his mind is too heavy. I was really worried that he would become negative because of the Wangjiang War. It seems that I was too worried.

In the name of the center, I ordered rewards, and at the same time, warned him not to be greedy for merit, and just stabilize the situation. I am worried that he will be too eager to seek military merit. "

"Your Majesty, the Eldest Prince has always been calm and cautious when using troops."

"Well, that's enough, that's it for today, Aiqing should go back to hug her granddaughter earlier."

Zhao Jiulang's eldest daughter-in-law has just given birth to a daughter.

"Sir, thank you Lord Long En."

After Zhao Jiulang left the imperial study room,

Emperor Yan, who was originally sitting quietly behind the imperial case, froze suddenly.

Standing aside, Wei Zhonghe immediately took out a handkerchief and handed it to Emperor Yan,

"Ahem..."

Yanhuang suddenly coughed violently,

After calming down,

Wei Zhonghe quickly put away the scarlet veil and served tea.

This disease has improved for more than two years, and recently, it started again.
