Time flies.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Since the end of the North Korean meeting on March 23.

For three days, Chang'an City seemed calm on the surface.

In fact, there are already undercurrents surging beneath the calm water.

The Xiongnu invaded Shanggu, and in five days and three days, they plundered more than 10,000 officials and civilians.

No matter whether the news brought by the second eight-hundred-mile expedited letter is good or bad.

None of them can make up for the impact this incident had on the court and the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The first person to bear the brunt was Sun Daohua, the governor of Shanggu County.

No matter how Sun Daohua tries to make up for his situation, it is inevitable that he will lose his official position due to dereliction of duty.

If this is the case, wouldn't it free up the position of a feudal official?

No one needs to mention that those who are interested have already done countless activities in these three days.

And how could someone who could become a high-ranking official in a feudal state have no backers in the central government?

A battle for the position of county governor was already in full swing.

Of course, there are still only a few people who can participate in the battle for the position of county guard.

Most people's attention is actually focused on the incident and the possible impact it may have.

Nothing, it’s just about self-interest.

When the Xiongnu entered, it didn't matter whether they attacked three cities in five days or robbed officials and civilians of more than 10,000 people.

This incident was tantamount to a great shame and humiliation for the victorious side of the Mobei War.

, no matter how the discussion is carried out in the court, the matter will definitely end in war in the end.

Regardless of whether Da Zhou wants to fight this battle or not, and whether he has enough national strength to fight it, he must fight it!

And we must fight quickly and fight quickly! Accurate shot! Hit him hard!

Nothing else.

If this matter is not handled, it will definitely affect the whole situation in the end and directly affect the interests of the Western Region!

If the countries in the Western Regions fall again, the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty will inevitably decline for at least ten years!

The wealth of the families behind the civil and military officials will definitely shrink by 30% to 40% as a result.

This result, whether it is the Zhengde Emperor or the civil and military officials, is based on their own interests and there is absolutely no room for negotiation.

It is based on this.

In the past three days, countless civil servants and generals have moved around secretly.

Everything they talked about was about the war.

...

...

Around noon on March 26th.

The warm sun shines outside Xuanping Gate without any worries.

It adds a touch or two of warmth to this city gate that has withstood hundreds of years of wind and rain.

Two of the three gates below the city wall were now wide open.

Countless people and caravans of horses loaded with goods poured into the city gate on the far left.

The same is true for the city gate on the right not far away, it's just for entering instead of exiting the city.

For a time, the entire Xuanpingmen was filled with noisy sounds.

It seems that this is the real daily life of Xuanpingmen.

And three months, it was just an accident.

Rong Pingchuan stood at the crenellation of the city wall, looking calmly at the endless flow of people below.

From time to time, I raise my hand and take a bite of the spicy mutton. I really feel as comfortable as I want.

After a while, he ate a piece of cake, and Rong Pingchuan patted the non-existent residue on his hand.

Just about to start a week of inspection.

There was a sudden ripple on the official road in the distance. ….

Although the blockage was impenetrable, the people and caravans who were still relatively orderly suddenly walked towards the left and right sides.

What's more, he had to go to another official road out of the city not far away, even at the risk of being punished.

After a while, the middle part of the official road into the city was cleared for a mile, and the distance was still widening.

On the other hand, the other way out of the city was already blocked and it was difficult to move.

Rong Pingchuan was just about to order his men to check.

A very familiar long dragon appeared in the field of vision, slowly walking towards it.

The reason why it is familiar is simply because the top of the long dragon is composed of hundreds of armored soldiers.

Although the long dragon did not raise a flag, it passed the color of the armor that was connected together.

and the attitude of the people.

Rong Pingchuan easily judged the identity of the person.

Apart from that, who else in Chang'an City today can make the people willing to be punished and make way for him.

"He's back." Rong Pingchuan couldn't control his excitement, and there was already a slight tremor in his words.

Just when Rong Pingchuan couldn't help himself.

Suddenly a voice came from beside him.

"General." The soldier dressed as a general clasped his fists and saluted: "The people on the left official road crossed the official road and the right official road was completely blocked. Do you want my subordinates to bring some people to punish them?"

This is not punishment, it is clearly an opportunity to make a fortune.

How could Rong Pingchuan not understand the true thoughts of his lieutenant general.

"If you want to go, go." Rong Pingchuan turned around and looked down at the slightly short deputy general.

When he cupped his fists and saluted, he was about to turn around and leave.

Rong Pingchuan said faintly: "If I guess correctly, the people will voluntarily give in, and His Highness the Sixth Prince will return in triumph from disaster relief."

When the deputy general heard this, his body that was about to turn around suddenly froze in place.

With a sneer on his face, he said: "I see, that's understandable and excusable."

The deputy general laughed twice and then clasped his fists again and said, "In that case, I will go patrol the city gate first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the general quickly turned around and left, a few minutes faster than usual.

Rong Pingchuan quietly looked at the departing figure.

Unexpectedly, his originally calm eyes gradually turned cold.

If he didn't want to give Xu Yi Tian, ​​he wouldn't have warned her.

Since all the victims of the disaster around Chang'an City have left, the governor's offices in all directions have sent such a thing to serve as the deputy general of Xuanpingmen.

Its purpose is naturally self-evident.

...

...

Outside Xuanping Gate.

Xu Yi sat upright on his horse, with a serious look on his face and thanked the people on both sides who took the initiative to move out of the way.

Precisely because of this move, Xu Yi's already high prestige subtly increased a bit again.

On the road, a middle-aged man dressed as an aristocrat was leaning against a green-covered double carriage.

Quietly looking at Xu Yi who kept walking towards him.

There was a different kind of fluctuation in his eyes.

"Master." A middle-aged man, who looked like a servant, called softly.

The reason why it is said that it is similar to a servant is because although a person is a servant, he is extremely muscular and round.

If the clothes are removed, it would be difficult for outsiders to tell who is the master and who is the servant. ….

"Say." The middle-aged man said without turning his head.

"Follow the order." The servant agreed, and then asked in a low voice: "Is the leader the legendary Sixth Prince?"

The middle-aged man looked at Xu who was walking towards him, nodded and said, "Who else in the world today can make people willingly get out of the way?"

"Yes." The servant nodded and murmured after receiving a positive answer.

After a while, the long queue from Jingzhao Mansion passed the middle-aged man's position.

The official road after Chang Long in Jingzhao Mansion gradually returned to its previous order.

However, the middle-aged man still stood there blankly, looking at the back of the long dragon in Jingzhao Mansion.

"Master." The servant whispered from behind the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man came back to his senses, looked back and smiled bitterly.

Then he ordered as he walked towards the carriage: "Let's go into the city."

"As ordered." The servant agreed, gave some instructions, and then got into the carriage.

As soon as Fang walked into the car, he saw his master sitting on the soft ground with a frown on his face.

The servant mentioned tea, poured a cup of tea for the middle-aged man, and then asked in a low voice: "Isn't it because I came to Beijing this time because of my promotion? Why am I always depressed along the way?"

The middle-aged man picked up the tea and said with a wry smile: "Gaosheng? I would rather stay here all my life than come to this so-called capital."

"Why?" The servant said with a puzzled face: "The capital is so nice. There are no Huns here, and there are no cold arrows that pop up from time to time."

After the words fell, the servant couldn't help but sigh heavily.

.

Unless he is willing to carry a big belly every day and look more like his father than his own father.

But there is no other way.

If you don't eat well, you won't have the strength to wear armor for a long time.

If you don't eat well, you won't have the strength to deal with the cold that comes from time to time, and the battles that you can't prevent from happening.

Over time, people became what they are now.

However, that seemingly fat appearance hides arms that are comparable to stone.

He is a servant and a general.

The middle-aged man drank the tea in his hand and then threw the tea cup casually on the small wooden table.

He sighed heavily, then smiled bitterly and said: "Li Zhong, do you know what my grandfather's greatest wish is in his life?"

Li Zhong couldn't help but pause slightly when he heard this.

What is the old man’s greatest wish in this life?

This issue is probably unknown to everyone among the upper-class dignitaries of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Li Zhong was silent.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly again and said: "If I still stay at the border, maybe I still have hope in this life to fulfill grandpa's last wish."

"Although there has been no fighting at the border for more than ten years."

"But in these years, which year has there not been dozens of frictions?"

"Especially in these two cases, the number of frictions has increased, and the scale has become a bit larger from time to time."

"The Huns are so wild, I'm afraid there will be another war at the border in a few years."

"Why do you think I am willing to be transferred to the capital at this time?"

"Not to mention Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, so what if you give me the position of Minister of Dali Temple?"

After finishing his words, the middle-aged man sighed heavily again. ….

An endless sadness appeared on his face.

Li Zhong sighed several times after hearing this.

For a time, the carriage was filled with indescribable and unexplained melancholy.

Xu Yi naturally didn't know what was going on inside the green-covered carriage.

He didn't even have the slightest impression of the middle-aged man.

No, there are too many people on both sides of the official road.

Xu Yi held his hands all the way and allowed the horse under his crotch to move forward slowly.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yi and his party finally arrived outside Xuanping Gate.

Xu Yi put down his already sore hands and walked forward slowly while looking up at the Xuanpingmen city wall that had been away for more than three months.

The city wall is still the same city, and Chang'an City is still the same Chang'an City.

Three months is just a blink of an eye for the ancient city that has lasted for hundreds of years.

But for some reason, the city wall has not changed at all from three months ago.

But Xu Yi still looked at the towering and solid city wall and slightly curved the corners of his mouth.

Sunlight and a gentle breeze blew up Xu Yi's black hair, leaving the few white strands with no place to hide.

At the crenellations of the city wall.

Rong Pingchuan looked under the city wall and Xu Yi, who was slowly advancing with his horse, looked up at the city wall and nodded slightly.

Then he turned around and left the crenellations of the city wall, walking towards the city gate tower.

I don't know what to do, but I saw him in a hurry. @

Rong Pingchuan always felt that Xu Yi at this time was different from Xu Yi three months ago.

When he saw Xu Yi in a hurry, he felt like he didn't dare to look directly at Xu Yi under the city wall.

This feeling was absolutely absent three months ago.

Under the city wall.

Xu Yi slowly looked back and crossed the city gate.

The long dragon was immediately dismissed.

After not returning home for more than three months, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion were already eager to return.

As soon as Fang was dismissed, they all ran towards home.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go back." Xu Yi smiled, and then said to Zhao Shou beside him.

Zhao Shou's face paled slightly when he heard this, and he was stunned for a few breaths before asking: "Six, should we go back to Jingzhao Mansion or Youningyuan?"

Now that the disaster in Guanzhong has ended, the disaster relief team has returned to Chang'an City.

At the next court meeting, Xu Yi will definitely relieve himself of the burden of Jing Zhaoyin and the commander-in-chief of Guanzhong disaster relief.

Once there, the master and servant naturally could not continue to live in the inner house of Jingzhao Mansion.

As for You Ning.

hospital? Since the last reward given by Emperor Zhengde, the two of them have been unable to stay in Youningyuan for a long time.

As for the mansion rewarded by Emperor Zhengde...

With Xu Yi's body, living there is not troublesome enough.

First, you need to be careful about your diet.

Secondly, with those twenty palace maids remaining, it would be particularly troublesome for Wenxin Baiwei to enter and exit the mansion.

If you think about it carefully, the master and servant now don't even have a permanent place to stay...

"Let's go back to Jingzhao Mansion first." Xu Yi paused and then decided.

"Okay." Zhao Shou agreed.

Immediately, the master and the servant rode towards Jingzhao Mansion.

Not long after the master and servant left.

The same scene as before has already been staged at Jingyao Gate in Beicheng.

View of Yao Gate in the north of Chang'an City.

Although there are not as many pedestrians and caravans as there are at Xuanping Gate. ….

But it should not be underestimated either.

Just as everyone was queuing up and waiting silently to enter the city.

Suddenly three riders came running from a distance.

The three horses were riding fast, with red flags on their backs, and they were charging straight towards Jingyao Gate.

"The imperial court is rushing eight hundred miles away! The rest of the crowd is waiting to get out of the way!"

"The imperial court is rushing eight hundred miles away! The rest of the crowd is waiting to get out of the way!"

"The imperial court is rushing eight hundred miles away! The rest of the crowd is waiting to get out of the way!"

The three border post soldiers stopped and shouted loudly in turn.

I heard the words "eight hundred miles urgent".

No matter where you live, no matter whether you have money or not, all the pedestrians who live in front of the post.

Everyone ran towards both sides of the road in panic.

Not to mention the common people, even the high officials of the imperial court must give in when they encounter the postmen who are rushing eight hundred miles away.

Even the earth that has robbed heaven and earth and robbed everything dare not rush eight hundred miles. @*~~

For a moment, there was a chaos outside Jing Yao's door.

The guard of Jingyao Gate noticed something unusual and quickly looked outside Jingyao Gate.

After seeing clearly the colors of the flags behind the three postmen.

Immediately, he quickly issued an order: "Evacuate the people at the city gate! Make sure the postmen can pass smoothly no matter what!"

"Follow the order!" the deputy general agreed, and immediately led the people to rush towards the city gate.

The guard of Jingyao Gate made up his mind, and then quickly ordered the other deputy general: "Hurry and prepare horses! Prepare water!"

"Follow the order!" The other deputy general agreed, and then quickly ran towards the distance.

In an instant, most of the guards in Jingyao Gate began to take action.

With the help of the guards at Jingyao Gate, a passage about three steps wide was instantly vacated at the city gate.

Guardsman Jingyao Gate stared at the three postmen who were approaching, his eyes were extremely complicated and he said: "The second eight hundred miles urgent letter has arrived."
