Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 496 Gyeongju City

Ye Chen sat on the only grand master's chair in the station, looked at the crowd of people kneeling in front of him, frowned and said, "I told you to get up, so get up quickly."

With Ye Chen's current status, he doesn't know how many big figures in the world have sent many people to watch his every move all the time, so it's almost impossible for him to play a game of lurking in the northwest like Nantang.Therefore, he came here clearly.Of course there must be a reason.He came to Gyeongju to work in the army at the order of His Majesty, and to the northwest to work in the army. Naturally, he mainly worked in the Northwest Camp, and there were two other feudal towns.

Of course, Lao Jun was just a cover. Whether it was him, His Majesty the Emperor, Murong Yanzhao, the Great Elder Yufeng and the Second Elder Li Mingxuan of the holy hall, they were all aware of this and the possible purpose of Ye Chen's trip.

Ye Chen couldn't make it to Gyeongju today, so he had to rest overnight in this dilapidated post, how could he know that no one came to greet him when he entered the door, and eight or nine men were listening to the corner of the wall like children, Ye Chen was curious for a while, directly Pushing the door open and entering, unexpectedly, I saw a live erotic palace.

Yicheng and the seven or eight men knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, while the subordinates who came with Ye Chen knew that there must be a reason why his chief envoy was willing to spend time on this Yicheng. I didn't see it, and they were preparing for the night's rest and vigilance and security.

Ye Chen looked at the postman and scolded with a smile: "Damn you, the rectification starts before the sun goes down. Don't be afraid if you have the guts to do this kind of thing in the posthouse."

Yi Cheng grimaced, only thinking that he was about to be killed. This man in front of him is the most noble person in the world, the chief envoy of the Huaxia Weifu, a high-ranking person, and he is not qualified to see him on a daily basis. The nobleman I saw.

Ye Chen asked suspiciously: "What are you afraid of?"

"Your Excellency established the Huaxia Weifu, especially the Supervision Department. Your Excellency hates evil like a hatred, and hates official corruption the most." Yi Cheng was so frightened that he was about to cry, and collapsed on the ground, telling the impression of Ye Chen that the people of the world had.

Ye Chen was a little confused, so he touched the back of his head, thinking that he was already the child's father, why in the hearts of the world, he became more and more like a saint or a devil who does not eat the fireworks of the world?However, since the Yicheng in front of him had a handle and happened to be bumped into by him, although he was not interested in taking care of this kind of thing himself in his own capacity, he could let him do some things for him.

As he thought about it, Hu Sanguang walked in from the outside with a file and handed it to Ye Chen.

The dossier contains all the information about this Yicheng, including his identity, life history, interpersonal network, and various private matters that Yicheng thinks that others will never know.

After reading the information about this Yicheng, Ye Chen was slightly surprised. This person's name is Zhe Yishan, and he is actually a member of the Zhe family in Fuzhou. For some reasons, he did not serve as an official in Fuzhou, but He came to Qingzhou, two hundred miles away from Fuzhou, to become a postman.

Everything that is forewarned is established, and what is not forewarned is forfeited!

When Ye Chen came to the northwest, he had already made all kinds of extremely detailed preparations and plans with the Huaxia Weifu.Among them, there are two plans and plans related to Zhejia, and this person may come in handy at that time.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen smiled, and said some words to Yi Cheng in front of him that determined his fate.

Since the time of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, after more than 200 years of troubled times, the power of the world's powerful clans has been almost wiped out due to various military disasters. The influence is not gone, especially in the northwest region, such clans and semi-feudal forces still exist.

Like the Yang family in Linzhou, the Zhe family in Fuzhou, the Li family in Jinming, and the Wang family in Fengzhou, they are all well-known big-name clans, with such tyrannical force that they are obedient to the current emperor of the Song Dynasty.These elites not only have soldiers, but also have money and food. Several well-known big merchants in the northwest have their shadows behind them.

In addition, the reason why the Song Dynasty is strong is that although the Song State upholds the Chinese orthodoxy and governs the country with literature, it was first established to establish the country with force in the true sense.Among these countries to the west of the Song Dynasty, Dali is located in the south of the sky, with rugged terrain and many mountains, but the country is an out-and-out pacifist. No not bullying it much.At present, the Tubo vassals and princes are united and powerful.The people among them are not good people, but they don't have much possibility of expansion. In the early years, they sometimes leaned on the thigh of the Song Dynasty, and occasionally helped beat the party members to get some benefits. In the past two years, the party members have clearly Submitting to Song Dynasty, not only did not have this kind of benefit, but was often bullied by party members, and life was not very good.

And the Dangxiang people have been fighting against Song, Tubo, and Liao over the years. They have been fighting endlessly. It is not a fluke that they have been able to firmly occupy the Hengshan Grassland and Helan Mountain west of Xiazhou. It is actually the Dangxiang people themselves. Strong and all people are soldiers, they have the strength of these places in the war situation.

As a matter of fact, if the factions of the party were not close to the two powerful countries of Song and Khitan, and the leaders of the various tribes lacked long-term visionaries, and they often had internal conflicts, otherwise they would have been enough to establish a country with their strength.

Therefore, in the Northwest, if the strength is ranked, it is still the sum of the various ministries of the party, followed by the 5 people in the Northwest Daying of the Great Song Dynasty, and then the Fuzhou Zhejia and Linzhou Yangjia.

If Ye Chen wants to successfully complete the task entrusted by the emperor in the northwest, and avenge himself by the way, he needs to consider the entire situation in the northwest, study the real relationship between the various forces clearly, and then use it as much as possible, even if it is not available, At least it won't be hacked.

It was still daylight, and a group of people from the capital got up to wash up and eat the breakfast prepared in the inn. In order not to irritate Murong Yanzhao and introduce some variables, the people Ye Chen brought with him this time Not many, apart from the fifteen gold medal assassins led by Wu Batian and Lian Jicheng, ten gold medal spies led by Hu Sanguang, and fifty Chinese Golden Guards led by Zhang Dawei.It has been found out that Zhang Dawei belongs to Prime Minister Zhao Pu. Ye Chen unceremoniously had a secret conversation with him. After the secret conversation, he naturally became Ye Chen's person. Of course, Zhao Pu's side never knew this.

With Ye Chen's current prominent status, this time he is the emperor's imperial envoy again, but he brought less than a hundred people to Qingzhou in the northwest, which is considered extremely low-key.

Of course, nearly half of the armed forces and spies in the Xiawei Mansion in the dark have sneaked into various places in the Northwest. According to the general plan made these days, each performs his own duties, doing his own things, and carrying out some things that may be useful or not at all. Some preliminary preparations.

Except for the weapons department, the Huaxia Weifu has always been managed militarized, and the people who follow Ye Chenlian are the top figures in each department. Squeaks, but no conversation.

The heavy snow was dense, the world was vast, and at dawn, there was a strong wind again.At first there was still warmth, but now the snow was sticky, standing on people and wheels, but now the warmth is gone, the wind blows snowflakes straight into people's necks, making people feel chilly, looking from afar , The whole group of people became active snowmen.

The nearly [-]-mile road from the post station to Qingzhou City, speeding on the eight-horse wide official road, even in snowy days, does not take too much time, and there is no need to cherish horsepower today, so when this pedestrian came to Qingzhou City At the east gate, although the snow stopped and the sun came out, the sun did not rise very high. On the contrary, the weather was already extremely cold due to the melting of the thick snow and the biting cold wind. People from the surrounding villages and towns who entered the city, as well as business travelers from the hinterland of the Central Plains, had already formed a long queue.The more bitter and cold the people are, the stronger their ability to adapt to the climate environment.Ye Chen believed that ordinary people who came here from the warm places in the south of the Yangtze River would definitely not be able to bear this kind of weather if they were not forced or killed.This is also one of the reasons why the folk customs in the Northwest are sturdy.

It's already cold here, and it's winter again. The soldiers in the border city here are all wearing armor with thick winter clothes.

Ye Chen glanced at it unobtrusively, and then signaled Hu Sanguang to prepare the paperwork for customs clearance.

This time when they came to Gyeongju, although Ye Chen and his party didn't hide their identities on purpose, they didn't have a grand guard of honor as an imperial envoy.The group of them pretended to be Jiangnan businessmen, holding in their hands the road tea deed issued by the third division's household department.

The inspection work of the soldiers at the East Gate of Gyeongju was very meticulous, but not slow at all, and the team quickly lined up with Ye Chen and his party.Ye Chen noticed.Although the soldiers of the Gyeongju army and ground are strictly inspected.But it did not take the opportunity to collect the benefits of oil and water.And there is no intention to keep merchants and vegetable farmers from all sides in trouble.The speed is extremely fast.Ye Chen didn't line up.Standing by the side of the team and watching with cold eyes.Nod secretly.There are many soldiers in the Song Dynasty, and there are not a few famous generals. Murong Yanzhao was able to stand out and was entrusted with the important task by Zhao Kuangyin. He was in charge of the Northwest Camp for seven years. It can be seen from this trivial matter in front of him that Murong Yanzhao still did not slack off in the slightest, no wonder His Majesty the Emperor appreciated him so much.

Hu Sanguang handed over the prepared customs clearance documents, road rules and tea deeds.The school officer was slightly taken aback.frowned.It seems to feel a little strange.

Ye Chen squinted at the side, feeling very satisfied. He naturally knew what went wrong.

The surprise of the school official was not that there was anything wrong with these paperwork.It's that these documents are too beautiful, especially the issuance of seals and signatures is actually the top pass in every yamen.
