When the Supreme Emperor visited Luoyang in the north, Kang Yingqian, the former prime minister of Daqi, set off from Shenyang with his wife and children to Handan, Hebei Province, embarking on a long journey home.
Relying on Emperor Wuding's amnesty for Kang's supervisory army, Kang Yingqian and his party were able to reach Shanhaiguan without any hindrance.

Shanhaiguan, North Gate Wengcheng.
The convoy of Kang Supervisor Army slowly stopped in front of Weiyuan Gate. A group of soldiers surrounded the battalion officer of the 10th Corps. They stepped down from the archery tower and went straight to the front of the convoy. They blocked the way and shouted orders to check the identity of the incoming people. Combined font size.
Kang Yingqian heard the noise outside, leaned out from the curtain of the carriage, and said tremblingly to his servant Chen Sheng:
"Old Chen, let them investigate, finish the investigation as soon as possible, and enter the customs as soon as possible."
After Kang Yingqian finished speaking, he retracted into the carriage. With his peripheral vision, he glanced at the two-kissed and ridged beasts on the top of the double eaves of Xieshan Mountain in Shanhaiguan. For the first time, he felt that these stone beasts in front of him were fierce and murderous.
Lao Kang can no longer remember how many times he has been to Shanhaiguan. This may be his last time.
In the twelfth lunar month of last year, around this time, Kang Yingqian was still the Prime Minister of Da Qi. He brought Qiao Yiqi, Wang Huazhen and others to inspect Western Liaoning. When officials along the way met Prime Minister Kang, they all treated him respectfully and regarded Lao Kang as the Emperor of Da Qi.
Now the trees have fallen and the hozens have dispersed, and only a few personal servants are following him home.
Chen Sheng agreed, got off his horse, took out a wooden sign from his waist, waved it twice at a group of fierce soldiers in front of him, and shouted loudly:
"Golden plate, let us pass quickly. The pack horses need to drink water and the people need to rest."
After passing Shanhaiguan, there are still two to three hundred miles away from the next station. The convoy moves slowly, so it must replenish and rest here.
The soldiers in Wengcheng were indifferent and silently looked at the fallen official in front of them. After a while, a chief officer came over. Chen Sheng recognized at a glance that this was Zheng Yishi's subordinate, who seemed to be a general.
"The army is about to reinforce North Korea. The army is in chaos and troops are being transported everywhere. General Zheng has ordered that all merchants and travelers are only allowed to stay for half an hour."
After hearing this, Chen Sheng became furious and said:
"Nonsense! We met some merchants on the road the day before yesterday. They came out of Shanhaiguan City. If they want to go to the top, they can go to the top. If they want to stay in the hotel, they can stay in the hotel. After all, Mr. Kang is an official of the imperial court. He will enter the Taimiao Temple in the future. How dare you be so rude? Deliberately making things difficult for us!”
"This is a military order and must not be violated!"
Chen Sheng held his head high and said angrily:
"Fuck you, damn the military orders! Take out the Ministry of War documents! Do you have them?"
The boss knew he was in the wrong, and his face was bruised and white after being scolded. He wanted to hit the servant, but finally didn't dare, and the raised palm slowly fell down.
"you……"
Chen Sheng continued: "Stop talking about a boss like you, when our master was in Shenyang, killing a general and a general was like killing a chicken! If he hadn't been raped by a villain, he would have had his turn..."
"Looking for your General Zheng, it was my master who sent him to Zhangjiawan, Tianjin..."
Kang Yinggan coughed from inside the carriage.
"Old Chen, stop talking!"
Chen Sheng quickly stopped talking and stepped aside angrily.
Kang Yingqian opened the carriage door curtain and was about to step out of the carriage in one step. When Chen Sheng saw him, he quickly stepped forward and knelt down, letting Mr. Kang walk on his back to the ground.
Kang Yingqian slowly walked up to the boss, trying hard to squeeze out a smile on his wrinkled face, and subconsciously moved towards his arms.
Old Chen knew what he was looking for, so he stood up quickly and said:
"Master, the medicine is gone, have you forgotten it?"
Kang Yingqian thought for a while, touched his gray hair, and said to the general manager:
"This brother is very nervous. Is he recently transferred from outside? This time I was ordered to go home and enjoy my old age. My home is in Handan. Shanhaiguan is the only way to go. The next station is Baishi. Li Di, I’d better go find your chief officer and be accommodating and let him rest in Shanhaiguan for two days before leaving."
Guarding Shanhaiguan was Zheng Yishi of the Tenth Corps.
Back then at Zhangjiawan Pier, without Kang Yingqian's assistance, this honest man with a track-tracking background would not have been able to rise higher and command thousands of troops in battle one day.
After ten years of military service and ten years of hardship, some people were indifferent to fame and wealth and returned to their true nature, while others forgot their original intentions and became monkey spirits.
Zheng Yishi knew that the Emperor was jealous of Kang Yingqian. At this time, even a fool knew that he could not get too close to the man named Kang. He had known that Kang Yingqian was coming and hid in the city early to avoid seeing this old friend, who could even be said to be a benefactor.
He only let the deputy general take the lead and said some harsh words in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the raincoat guard. In the future, when Kang Ying was liquidated, it would also have to do with Zheng Yishi. It didn't matter.
"A bunch of snobs."
The servant Chen Sheng was still aggrieved and wanted to argue with the boss, but he heard Master Kang say:
"That's all. Just half an hour, half an hour, hurry into the city."
