Chapter 102, who is coming?
Hebei West Road is divided into four prefectures, Jiuzhou, Sixth Army, and sixty-five counties. Each prefecture has a supervisory sub-prefecture, totaling eight prefectures.
Among the four prefectures, Wei Zhen Ding Prefecture is the farthest to the north, facing the Khitan. Zhang Zhilong, one of the "Six Lions of Zhenbei", is stationed there. He has a son named Zhang Dian, who has close contacts with Wang Feng, the son of Qingzhou Zhijun Wang Chongli.
Zhao Zhengli was riding on horseback this time, covering his eyebrows with one hand and looking ahead. If he remembered correctly, Wang Feng held a banquet at the Qingzhou Zhijun Mansion and invited young talents from all walks of life to capture him, the rebellious son of a rebellious minister. He and Chen Xiaoyao disguised himself as a retinue of Princess Dali and sneaked into the house, and Zhang Dian was present at the banquet.
So, Zhang Zhilong, the Six Lions of Zhenbei, is closer to the prince? Or is his son a naughty person who makes friends randomly and has nothing to do with the political parties in the DPRK?
When he couldn't think about it, he threw it away. According to the route, he was hundreds of miles away from Zhending Mansion. If this local snake really wanted to make things difficult for him, the newly appointed official, he wouldn't mind playing hard games with this young man. Move your whole body with one move, and take a look at the movements of the imperial parties.
After all, the Changning Army and Zhending Mansion on Hedong Road can be considered "neighbors", and they are also brothers Paoze on the Northern Line. Naturally, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in being more detailed.
But then again, it seems that the commander-in-chief of Hedong Road is named Ge Hongliang. He is a fellow villager with Prime Minister Zuo He Jing of Zhongshu Men, and Prime Minister Zuo favors the crown prince Song Chaoyan.
It's because Zhao Zhengli got closer to King Cheng in the temple, so there's probably a chance of showing off when he takes office this time, right?
Also at the banquet at the Qingzhou Magistrate's Mansion, Ge Xiaojin, the son of the Hedong Road commander, Ge Xiao, his nephew, and Zhang Dian, who was also a general, worked hard to encircle and suppress the rebellious minister's son.
Zhao Zhengli held the reins and looked up at the sky, showing a strange smile.
Now it seems that the old emperor is really taking care of everything!
He did not arrange to go to the adjacent Yongxing County Road, because the commander-in-chief Sima Weishan was supported by the Privy Council. For the sake of King Cheng, life was absolutely comfortable.
He also did not arrange to go to the old emperor's confidant Qin Fenglu, because Xu Chen, who was born as a scholar, was upright and had no thoughts of intrigue. He praised Zhao Zhengli's achievements in Shu, so he went by himself, and maybe he would be treated as a first-class guest by his confidants.
He did not arrange for himself to be on Hebei East Road, which is neutral in the court, and he was equally comfortable without any interference.
Now when going to Hedong Road, it seems that not only do we have to be wary of foreign enemies, we also have to be wary of domestic thieves!
Zhao Zhengli couldn't help but grin. The old emperor seemed not to have expected the idea of taking office this time!
The partisanship in the government is so boring. What you want is afraid that the old emperor cannot afford it. Who knows that he is the enemy who killed his father, his mother and the entire clan!
The smile on his face was inadvertently bright. Mu Dongfang, who was driving the carriage, wiped his beard and looked puzzled.
Could it be that Bo Tan Kaisu, the master of Daming Mansion, secretly stuffed him with a few bed-warmers last night? Is this kid still reminiscing about the spring night?
Look at his half-hearted smile, and the man in a rough linen shirt is even more confident.
He scolded Tan Kaisu sourly that he looks down on others. He is also the future of Jiange after all, so he can't treat everyone equally?
He turned around and glanced at the two tender girls in the carriage again. Is it true that domestic flowers don't have the fragrance of wild flowers?
Or are you used to eating delicacies and occasionally trying simple meals to change your appetite?
Mu Dongfang wondered all the way to Daming County, Handan, Cizhou.
According to the itinerary, we will spend one night in Handan for repairs, and tomorrow we will travel more than 200 miles to Liaozhou on Hedong Road, and go north along the west source of Qingzhang to Taiyuan Prefecture by water.
Zhao Zhengli had already climbed into the carriage from horseback and was huddled together with the two tender girls. The fragrant smell and the rocking carriage were particularly hypnotic. He rested his head against the carriage window and took a nap.
Yu Xiaowei did not shy away from Biyu who was in the same carriage. She moved her butt generously next to him, first covered him with a thin shirt, and then took him into her arms with green fingers.
Biyu smiled awkwardly but politely, and holding back all the emotions in her heart, she opened a corner of the curtain and looked at the loess and the miserable withered grass that were so suitable for the scene.
At the end of the endless sight stands an old ancient city.
As the distance gets closer, the ancient city becomes more majestic.
The high walls, gates, watchtowers and arrow towers all bear traces of swords and sharp weapons, telling the story of its history.
There are soldiers with swords and armors guarding both sides of the city gate, and there are also soldiers holding spears in the attic of the urn above the city gate.
It is generally estimated that there are dozens of people.
Mu Dongfang glanced at the stone plaque "Daming County" engraved on the city gate from afar. The word "county" in particular was particularly new.
Because its predecessor was renamed "Daming Mansion" in the first year of Qianyou of the Later Han Dynasty during the Ten Kingdoms dispute. Now the Qing Dynasty changed Daming Mansion to Daming County, so the word "Fu" was replaced with "County".
On the surface, this seems to be the local official's "frugality", but Mu Dongfang feels that it is a slap in the face of the Daqing Emperor. How can such a huge country not afford to replace a complete stone plaque?
He glanced at the two mounted Imperial Guards on both sides of the carriage and saw them staring at the plaque with their brows furrowed. He slowed down so that they could take a few more glances and drove the carriage to the city gate at a leisurely pace.
The guards on the left and right revealed their identities as usual. The gatekeepers glanced at the people in the convoy and whispered to each other, saying that they could not tell the truth and that they needed to report it to the police for verification.
The Imperial Guards on the left and right didn't take it seriously and waited outside the city gate. The passers-by stared at the Imperial Guards wearing black armor in awe, but they couldn't help but watch from a distance, and they were even more curious about who was sitting in the carriage.
When he saw the rough man in a rough linen shirt driving his horse, his awe was reduced by half.
The most terrible thing was that the guy was still grinning stupidly at the onlookers on the street. With his black face and black beard, he definitely didn't look like a good person.
At that time, several people came out from the Wengcheng attic to look down at the motorcade.
At the same time, two groups of infantry soldiers inside the city gate came out of the city with spears in hand and formed a formation to surround the convoy.
A handsome white-faced young man above looked down with a folding fan in his hand: "Who is under the city? Can you tell me your name? Why do you want to enter the city?"
The two brothers Wang Wu and Liu of the Forbidden Army on the left and right looked at each other and frowned: "I have been ordered to escort Captain Zhao Renshi of Qingchao and Tianshi Mansion to the Changning Army on Hedong Road to take up his post. Why don't you hurry up and let Master Bo greet you."
The man waved his fan nonchalantly and said lazily: "The Lord is not here, and he went on a trip with the county magistrate and county magistrate to show sympathy for the people. You should go to the post house and spend the night. After all, you have to rush on the next day. Otherwise, how can we spend all the various coupons issued by the imperial court?"
Several other people on the Wengcheng also made a fuss: "This county does not condone the habit of imperial envoys. Didn't you see that our county's plaques are so frugal? Save money on food and clothing, and give back to the people is the way to be an official. If everyone is like you, With such extravagant enjoyment, the Qing Dynasty will be destroyed sooner or later!"
The two brothers clenched their jaws angrily after being taught a lesson inexplicably. The court issued food coupons, postage coupons, road coupons and other public expenses. But the post house is not as comfortable as in the city. It has everything to eat, drink and have fun. It also costs public money, so why not choose a good one?
This has become a tacit practice.
It's just that they didn't expect to meet a guy with no eyesight in this humble county.
Zhao Zhengli, who had been sleeping soundly in the carriage, was awakened by the noise. He found that he had rarely slept in such an intoxicating state since leaving Qingcheng Mountain.
In his sleep, he felt that he had two soft balls on his pillow, which were fragrant and sweet, and extremely comfortable.
He rubbed it lazily on the soft fabric and slowly opened his eyes. What came into view was a light blue gauze collar, faintly revealing the white clothes underneath. The two clothes were bulging and bulging into spheres, and they were still breathing. The ups and downs are orderly.
He was stunned for a moment, and was brought back to his mind by a warm and fragrant wind. A beautiful face was looking down at him. The two were so close that he could really see her glowing red and full of tenderness.
Only then did Zhao Zhengli realize that in Yu Xiaowei's arms, at the same time, he clearly felt the mountains undulating violently, and his heartbeat quickened accordingly.
She exhaled as softly as a mosquito and said, "Are you awake?"
Then he glanced at the corner of the carriage very nervously. Zhao Zhengli followed his gaze and happened to meet another pair of beautiful eyes.
The other party gave a stiff smile, feeling anxious and uneasy, but also envious and unwilling. He hurriedly opened the curtains to check the situation outside!
Zhao Zhengli reluctantly left the "Women's Country", which was so soft and memorable.
He opened the car curtain, and the rough-looking man Mu Dongfang grinned at him: "I met a few guys with no eyes."
Zhao Zhengli glanced around and set his sights on the Wengcheng attic above the city gate: "Will the two shoe-carrying boys, Ge Xiaojin and Ge Xiao, come?"
Everyone in the attic of Wengcheng was stunned, and the handsome young master holding the folding fan quickly scolded: "Bold and arrogant rat, how can you call the two Young Masters by their first names?"
Zhao Zhengli glanced at the two brothers of the Forbidden Army Wang Wu and Wang Liu: "Did you see that guy who is more girly than a girl? He is wearing a silk brocade shirt and holding an ivory folding fan. Both of them are worth tens of thousands of gold. , he said he was frugal, do you believe it?"
The two brothers had naturally noticed it a long time ago, but they didn't understand what he meant.
The next moment, Zhao Zhengli winked at Mu Dongfang and said, "Tear down that shabby stone plaque for the imperial court so that they can save half a piece of fabric and replace it with a new one that shows the temperament of a great nation."
Mu Dongfang hesitated for a moment, but still did not dare to open the door rashly. After all, saying it was one thing, but doing it was another thing. He did not want to bring trouble to Jiange for no reason.
"boom!"
During his hesitation, Zhao Zhengli flicked his sleeve, and a powerful palm force directly smashed the stone plaque of "Daming County" into pieces.
Accompanied by a disdainful tone: "What big deal will it be if you are indecisive?"
Mu Dongfang knew it was meant for him.
The people present were so frightened that they screamed, and the gatekeepers raised their spears as if they were facing a powerful enemy.
Several people on the urn city were even more frightened. If this palm had been a few feet higher, they would have been reduced to pulp immediately.
One of them shouted in horror: "Rebellion, rebel, capture the madmen who destroyed the city gate!"
All the soldiers rushed forward and stabbed him with their spears.
Zhao Zhengli used the palm of his hand instead of his sword to slash out a zhenqi strike, directly cutting the dozen people at the front in half on the spot, and blood spattered in all directions of the city gate.
The remaining people suddenly became timid and retreated timidly. The man in the attic of Wengcheng scolded the soldiers: "Those who retreat without mercy will be killed without mercy!"
The soldiers were in a dilemma.
Zhao Zhengli glanced at the guy who was giving the order. He held up his sleeves and attacked the Wengcheng with invisible force. The body of the young master holding an ivory folding fan was light, as if he was sucked away by a strong wind with unpredictable power. He fell down from the urn, fell in front of the carriage, and was caught by a big hand.
On the side, Mu Dongfang looked at Zhao Zhengli as if he were an ancient beast. How strong and powerful does this guy have to be? Can you catch people from the air with ease?
The two brothers, King Wu and King Liu of the Forbidden Army, seemed to have expressionless faces, but their hearts were in a state of turmoil. For the young guy in front of them, they could only be described as "perverts".
By then, the other people in Wengcheng Pavilion would react, but it was too late.
The originally arrogant and handsome young man had three legs trembling for some reason, and he was extremely frightened. Looking at the handsome young man who was a head taller than himself, a chill arose for no reason. It was the pressure of his height, and it was also the "sword strike" just now. "The fear brought about.
Zhao Zhengli said without any emotion: "Open the city gate!"
This guy was not as arrogant as before, so he quickly obeyed: "Open the city gate, quickly open the city gate to welcome the fourth-rank Qingchao Captain."
He was so anxious that he almost shouted, but he was afraid that his loud voice would offend the God of Plague, so he twisted his head off his neck with a shake of his hand.
He secretly regretted in his heart that Ge Xiaojin and Ge Xiao were so bad, and he didn't make it clear. If he had known that the other party was so terrifying, how could he have the courage to scream.
It is precisely because the Ge brothers knew that he bullied the weak and feared the strong, so they concealed the truth. After all, he firmly believed that a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake, but only if the strong dragon did not go crazy. If it went crazy, it could poke holes in the sky.
On this day, there was a sensation in Daming County. An official's carriage was stopped, and one man beheaded more than ten soldiers with one hand. Ye Wenqing, the son of the county magistrate, was grabbed from the tower and forced into the city. He drank the best wine and was rewarded. The most beautiful girl.
