The woman driving the car pouted and seemed a little aggrieved.
But then.
The woman was stagnant on the chariot. For a moment, she couldn't even say a word.
The originally bumpy official road has turned into an extremely flat cement road.
Next to the cement road, there is a stone monument.
The stone tablet on the left side looks tattered and covered with moss.
On the right side, there are three big characters written in flying phoenixes.
The fonts are wild and lively.
Yazhou boundary!
"Why did the car stop..."
The voice in the carriage was slightly confused, then asked softly, and then gently opened the curtain.
The whole person stood there in a daze. There was a straight concrete road with strange-looking plants on both sides. On the hillside not far away, there was a line of big characters made of green grass!
“If you want to be rich, build roads first!”
Over the years, she has visited many places privately incognito, but she has never seen this kind of scenery.
"Is Yazhou ahead?"
The woman driving the carriage, named Hu Meier, looked around carefully.
"That should be correct, right? When Li Xian was exiled, I led the Golden Scale Guards to secretly escort him. It seems that he has indeed been to this place!"
Hu Meier also looked confused at this moment.
"That's right, let's keep going!"
The empress' voice was very soft, and she put away her shock.
Hu Meier nodded slightly: "I didn't expect that the roads in Yazhou are so wide and flat."
"Who is the governor of Yazhou?"
"Your Majesty, the magistrate of Yazhou should be Su Chen, who was the top candidate in the imperial examination for three years after Tianshou. Because he was implicated by Li Xian, he was demoted to Yazhou as the magistrate. Now, it has been eight years! "
The empress pondered for a moment, but didn't say much.
He turned around and returned to the carriage, only gently opening the curtain.
Look at the surrounding scenery.
The carriage walked on a spacious cement road with green mountains and clear waters on both sides.
Smooth road, walking carriage.
The empress leaned gently against the car, taking in the passing scenery and the gentle sea breeze.
Occasionally there will be a few people riding buffalo through the fields.
It is hard to imagine that such a beautiful scene could be the place of exile for criminals - Yazhou.
In this way, the carriage traveled on the road for nearly an hour.
A tall city appeared in front.
The red stone bricks, the majestic city tower, and the colorful flags fluttering in the wind at the highest point of the city tower, just one look at it, makes you feel that this place is bigger than the capital of the gods!
The empress looked at the city in front of her.
There was a moment of lapse in speech, and after a pause, he said softly: "Mei'er, with my makeup, others shouldn't be able to recognize it, right?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
"My makeup skills are no joke. Even if you are facing the civil and military forces of the dynasty, I am afraid that only a handful of people can recognize you!"
Hu Meier said confidently.
The empress was relieved: "Don't call me Your Majesty. From now on, if you call me Miss, I will call you by your name!"
"Lest others become suspicious. This time we come to Yazhou, the most important thing is to see Li Xian!"
"If he has the appearance of an emperor, so what if I return power to Li!"
"yes!"
Hu Meier pursed her lips and muttered dissatisfiedly.
The two-man carriage continued to move forward.
"Please show me the way!"
In the direction of the city gate, they were already blocked.
Hu Meier nodded hurriedly, and then handed over the road that had been prepared long ago.
After the officer looked through it carefully, he lightly stamped it. He opened his mouth and asked, "Will the carriage follow you into the city? Or will it stop outside the city?"
"Of course we will follow you into the city!" Hu Mei'er said with some displeasure: "We can't let...my lady walk all the way into the city, right?"
"Um!"
The official didn't say much, he just pointed the way and made a small note behind it.
"Go and get a temporary pass over there!"
"What is a temporary pass?"
The official was not surprised at all, but said patiently: "It is equivalent to a temporary status for your carriage. It is valid for three days. After three days, if you want to stay in the city again, you need to extend it at the local government office!"
The empress was quite shocked, but she was a little unhappy deep down.
"How much money do I need to pay for this temporary pass?"
“Temporary passes are free!”
The official's voice was very soft: "When you apply for a temporary pass, you need to pay a penny for the paper fee!"
"Paper?"
There was a bit of surprise in Hu Meier's eyes.
The people behind have already begun to urge: "Will you do it or not? If not, don't block the way..."
The empress hurriedly pulled Hu Meier away.
We arrived at the place to apply for a temporary pass.
The officer in charge carefully wrote out the temporary pass. There was a line of strange-looking text on the top, and the beginning and end of the validity period below.
It seems clear at a glance.
"Ya Jia: Three, five, six or seven Ding?"
"What does this mean?"
The empress looked a little strange and asked aloud.
"It's just a number plate. It's like your carriage has been registered with us. If it's lost, we can search for it based on this number plate. If your carriage is engaged in any illegal activities, we can also use this number plate to find it." To hold people accountable..."
"Okay, you can go in!"
The official in charge posted the pass on the front and rear of the carriage.
"Also, remember, this license plate is only valid for three days. If you want to stay in Yazhou after three days, you need to go to the local government office to replenish the validity period, so as not to delay your affairs!"
"Have a nice trip, you two!"
The official said with a smile.
The empress nodded to Hu Meier.
Hu Meier understood clearly and took out a piece of silver from her purse.
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work!"
Hu Meier said cheerfully.
"Please don't insult us!"
At this time, the officer seemed to have his tail stepped on, and shouted loudly: "I don't know what the situation is over there, but this kind of thing is not allowed in Yazhou."
"Once discovered, you will be fired from public office directly. In serious cases, you may even be expelled from Yazhou. You must not harm me! Go, go, go..."
The official waved his hand hurriedly, as if he was chasing away the god of plague.
Hu Meier was stunned and looked at the empress beside her.
The empress was a little confused. She never thought that these people valued this official position so much, and it seemed that being expelled from Yazhou was such an unacceptable thing. Isn't this a place of exile?
Aren’t the living conditions here poor? Don’t a lot of people die every year?
