Chapter 211

The days passed like running water, and it was already the end of July and the beginning of August in a blink of an eye.

Whether to save Baekje or not, there is still no clear news from Xingji City.

After repeated research, several parties in Beihai Customs finally decided to stand still.

Chen Xiuzhu rubbed his chin, only to realize that his beard had grown a lot unknowingly.

After returning to his own yard, he turned his head and looked deeply towards the direction of Xingji City.

As a prince, Chen Xiuzhu is already one man under ten thousand people.

His status is much higher than that of Xiao Zheng, Huang Shitao, Tian Hongyan and the county lieutenants of the surrounding counties.

However, no matter whether they are using power to suppress others or telling the truth, these generals are all respectful on the surface, but they are always silent about sending troops.

Chen Xiuzhu silently clenched his fists.

No wonder all the brothers racked their brains to climb to that position.

Only when he is on the throne, no one dares to act in the opposite direction or only make superficial efforts like he is doing now.

Star City.

In the imperial capital in early August, the sky is the most pleasant.

At this time, Xingji City was singing and dancing everywhere.

Both the western border and the northern border are too far away from the imperial capital.

What happened on the border, such as the death of Laozhen Principality due to the epidemic, and the army of Xiliang approaching Yanzhen Fortress step by step; another example, the vassal state Baekje was violently attacked by Japanese pirates, and even now it is approaching the city.

For the people of the imperial capital, these are far less interesting than the privacy of the noble family or the guests of the oiran tonight.

Whether it is the nobles or the common people, they should play and have fun; the major restaurants and cruise ships are full of people chatting and listening to the music with joy.

On the long Xuanwu Street, an ordinary carriage drove past. In the carriage, Yingpan was taking his adopted sister Miao Dong and maid Jixiang home.

"Ma'am," the guards of the General's Mansion outside the car reminded, "Miss Ren Liu is married, and the dowry is too much. There are many people crowded on both sides of the street to watch the fun, so the carriage is a bit slow. Please forgive me."

"It's okay!" Yingpan looked at the sky and said with a smile, "We're not in a hurry. Just drive slowly!"

However, Jixiang next to him couldn't sit still, and looked out frequently through the car window.

Compared with riding in this small and narrow carriage, she from the grassland is more used to riding a horse.

"Ma'am," Jixiang lowered his voice, "Taishi's mansion is getting married today, but the atmosphere in the mansion seems not right."

Yingpan was startled and fell into deep thought.

Ren Xi got married today.So she went to the Grand Master's Mansion to send this concubine sister to marry on behalf of her husband.

Because of Ren Ning, Yingpan's status is somewhat special.

However, the Taishi Mansion is the "Eternal Master's Mansion" after all, and it did not deliberately make things difficult, but welcomed her in respectfully.

Now that I think about it carefully, there seems to be something wrong with the atmosphere in Grand Master's Mansion.

Grand Master's House.

As soon as the guests left, the old grand master hurried into the back house with a thick file.

"Old woman, old woman, where is Ren Ning's little daughter-in-law, what are you looking forward to?"

The old lady was upset, "Her name is Yingpan, Yingpan Kailun, and she comes from the Xiliang Grassland."

"From Xiliang?" The old master gasped, and was a little dumbfounded, "This is troublesome."

He only knew that Ren Ning married a girl from a small family, but he didn't know the source of Yingpan, so he couldn't help but feel a little troubled at this moment.

The old lady looked around and lowered her voice, "Why bother, it's not your turn to worry about the future."

"That's right." The old master nodded, "Where's she, hasn't she left?"

"Let's go early. The sixth girl's sedan chair has just left the mansion, and she also said goodbye. It is estimated that I have arrived at Xuanwu Street."

Damn!

The old master slapped her thigh and almost jumped up, "Then let someone call her back."

"What's going on?" The old lady wondered.

The two have been together for a lifetime, and it's rare for her to see her husband so excited.

The old grand master had no choice but to spread out the file in his hand, "It was handed over by Xingluo Wei Junqian. It is said that it is a new thing that kid Ren Ning just came up with recently."

"Oh?" The old lady leaned over with interest.

Although Wei Junqian handed over the file, she didn't show any surprise, as if it was a matter of course.

"First it was a telescope, then it was a crane, and everything reacted differently. Now what has he come up with?"

"What are those? This is a good thing." The old teacher was full of excitement, "It is said that the words have the same pronunciation."

"If it's true, the old man will finally not have to do nothing all day long."

"Think about the huge empire in the future, all the people can understand each other's language and communicate unimpeded. What a great feat this is."

As he spoke, the old master couldn't help dancing.

"Old boy, you don't look good at your age." The old lady was stunned for a long time before she finally came back to her senses, and couldn't help hitting her husband: "Even if it is true, what are you so happy about?"

"It is estimated that the future history books will only record the credit of Emperor Changxing. Whether it is you or that kid may have made great efforts, but in the end there may not even be a name in the history books."

cut!
The old master cut a sentence, "Vulgar and vulgar. You just have long hair but short knowledge."

"As long as the homophony of this word is successful, it will benefit the integration of our entire nation, and the merits will benefit the future. It is nothing to leave a name in history. As long as I can participate in it, I feel extremely honored, old man."

"Damn old man," the old lady Qing raised her brows, "What did you just say? Your hair is long..."

The old master's scalp went numb, and he ran away.

After a while, three carriages marked Taishifu hurried out of the gate and headed for Yong'an Hutong.

When passing by Zhen Guogong's mansion, the old master opened the curtains and looked at the white sail on the gate, he was silent.

"Oh, I'm getting old." He sighed.

When he was young, the old Taishi and the old Zhen Guogong Huo Zheng were also good friends. However, in a blink of an eye, the Taishi is now in office, and the Zhen Guogong is even separated from Yin and Yang.

"Where is the coffin of the old Duke now?" He asked his son next to him.

Now that he has retired, the old grand master seldom asks about state affairs.So many things are already unclear.

Ren Yi frowned: "According to the news this morning, the coffin is still in Shannan County in the middle of Laigu County."

"I just arrived in the middle of Laigu County," the old grand master was taken aback, "What's going on, why is the coffin walking so slowly?"

Ren Yi couldn't help but looked up at the white banner on the Duke's mansion.

The four western counties were in chaos at this time.

The rioters set up cards to cut off roads everywhere. It can be said that one card is ten miles and one column is eight miles.

They are ready to stop the imperial court's quelling troops, and at the same time, they can search for passing and even local people through these checkpoints.

At the very beginning, the coffin of the old Duke of Zhen was almost sent eastward by the soldiers of the Yanfeng Fortress and the guards of the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

Later, the rioters were really unable to fight, and they heard that it was the coffin of the Duke of Laozhen, so they let go.

It's just that the ancient roads are too bad, there are too many rioters in the western counties, and each other occupies the mountains as kings, and the news is not connected.

As a result, the speed of the coffin's return to the east slowed down.

The old master frowned: "Where are the troops brought by the Seventh Prince to quell the chaos? Where are they now?"

Ugh!
Ren Yi let out a long sigh.

"The men and horses led by the Seventh Prince were divided into two groups. One route went from Miwu County to the west, and the other route did not go through Miwu County, but went directly to Tianshui County to fight south. It turned out that neither side went well."

Ren Yi moved his mouth.

Those soldiers and soldiers seemed to know nothing about fighting at all, and both were stuck in front of a small county town for a long time and couldn't attack.

Moreover, it is said that the people in the county not only did not intend to open the city to welcome the imperial army, but instead helped the rioters to defend the city.
