Willing to be hired by Jiangshan

Scream

On the day Xiang Jiayan left, He Shuyue went to see him off.

The two walked from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to the post station in the suburbs of Beijing.Xiang Jiayan didn't talk much, He Shuyue opened her mouth several times, but didn't know what to say.Thinking of this farewell, I might never see you again, and when I reached my mouth, I couldn't say a word, and my heart became more and more depressed.

On the contrary, Xiang Jiayan patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Shuyue, I will leave the capital to you! The emperor is fledgling, and Fu Zhuo is watching over him. Now that I leave, the trees will fall and the monkeys will disperse. I'm afraid he will leave him." The day of rebellion is not far away. However, I always have some disciples and colleagues who are still friendly, if you need it, go to them, maybe there will be one or two who are old friends and will help you."

"Well, you should take care of yourself along the way! When you come back, let's go and see Tingzhi together!"

Hearing this, Xiang Jiayan laughed hahaha, "Okay, okay! I have no regrets for having the two of you as friends in this lifetime!"

Changting, ancient road.Tobacco, setting sun.No matter how you look at it, this moment, this moment, and this place are like farewells.

"You have traveled three thousand miles, and this place will be different." He Shuyue's eyes were hot, "Master Xiang, Shuyue is sorry for you!"

"What are you talking about? I'm sorry. You and I are colleagues and friends, how can I not understand you? Presumably I have done everything I should do, and I have asked everyone I should ask... Actually, I want to thank you. This time Go... Madam and the child will trouble you to take care of them."

He Shuyue took the jug from the entourage's hand and poured two glasses, "Please drink up this farewell wine!"

"Don't say anything!" Xiang Jiayan took the wine glass, with tears in his eyes, "When I come back, I hope Shuyue can come to welcome me!"

"That's natural..." He Shuyue's throat hardened, and she couldn't continue.He took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to Xiang Jiayan, "Master Xiang, this is given to you by the emperor. It is said that it is a pill prepared by Li Taiyi, which can save life at critical moments. After all, the western region is extremely Cold place, you go to Wanwang to take care of yourself."

Xiang Jiayan took it and nodded.After looking at the several messengers waiting for him in the distance, he turned his back, opened the medicine bottle, and counted small black pills from inside.He hid a few of them around his body, and took out a piece of paper from the bottle. After reading it, he put it in his mouth and swallowed it. "Tell the emperor that the guilty minister has written down what he said."

"En!" He Shuyue nodded.When he took the medicine bottle from Lin Rongchen this morning, he never expected that Lin Rongchen would...

Knowing that it would be useless to talk too much, he didn't say anything more.I only hope that as Yan Xi said, Xiang Jiayan can come back alive, otherwise, in the future, he will really have no face to meet under the Nine Springs.

After Xiang Jiayan was exiled for a few days, Lin Rongchen avoided the eyes of others and met Mrs. Xiang.

Before Mrs. Xiang could speak, tears were already falling down. Seeing that she was almost crying, Lin Rongchen said, "I know, you cut off contact with your family for the sake of Mr. Xiang. It has been 30 years. I also I know that Mr. Xiang has always been loyal. If he hadn't been plotted against by others, he would never have done such a rebellious thing. He is upright and upright by nature. He is Yun Chu's humerus minister, but it is precisely because of this that he is feared by others. , has become a thorn in the side of some people, a thorn in the flesh. Now that I am sent to goose, I have no choice but to do it, and please forgive me."

What Lin Rongchen said was very sincere, and he nodded to his wife with tears in his eyes, "Your Majesty, as a woman, how can I understand the affairs of the court? But how is my husband, I have been married to him for nearly 30 years, so I naturally know. "

Lin Rongchen nodded.

Xiang Fu said again: "If the emperor has anything to say, just open your mouth. If I can do it, I will go through fire and water!"

Lin Rongchen hesitated for a while, it seemed difficult to speak, and seemed to be thinking about how to speak, "I am also forced to do so, otherwise, how can I bother you?"

"It's okay, Your Majesty."

Lin Rongchen said: "You also know that Fu Zhuo has always wanted to put the Lord to death. This disaster was also designed and arranged by him. I'm afraid I can't do anything about him entering the Yansai. If you can persuade the Emperor of Northern Zhou to form an alliance with me, say If you don’t point to the adults, you can still save them!”

When it comes to Xiang Jiayan's life and death, even if there is a sea of ​​swords and flames ahead, Mrs. Xiang will give it a try, let alone just being a lobbyist?

"That's good." Lin Rongchen said, "It will be the end of the year in two months. At that time, you will take the children and leave for the county. No one should suspect anything. You are looking for a beggar at the junction of Hanguan and the county. .After you find him, you will know what to do. Don’t worry, he will wait for you at the gate of the city all day long.”

"Yes!" Mrs. Xiang nodded.

Lin Rongchen said: "If you go to the Northern Zhou Dynasty, don't come back. If Mr. Xiang is not here, if Fu Zhuoruo is not good for your mother and son, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you either. After this matter is over, I will send someone to send him back to the county, so you can live a good life Bar."

Ever since what happened to Xiang Jiayan, Mrs. Xiang has not shed tears for a single day. Now that she heard Lin Rongchen's words, it seemed as if she could see the sun behind the clouds. Finally, there was hope for a turnaround. Why didn't she want to follow suit?

After about seven days, Lin Rongchen finally waited for Ji Beicheng's secret report.

After reading it, he stretched his eyebrows, and his solemn expression relaxed.

Zhao Xun waited by the side, looking up at the piece of paper in his hand, as if it contained a life-saving prescription.He was more worried about the follow-up than Lin Rongchen about the false military report, "how?"

Lin Rongchen said with a smile: "This Jibei City, he actually let Chang Xiao lead my cavalry to pretend to be hungry people and attack a wave of the city... Hahahaha, it coincides with me!"

"..." Zhao Xun couldn't imagine that an emperor and a general would do such unreliable things.If something goes wrong in the middle, will the world not be in chaos?It is true that there is such a kind of king that there is such a kind of subject.

He actually wanted to slander: the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.Helpless dare not.

Thinking of what Lin Rongchen told him last time, the key to dealing with Fu Zhuo is to rely on Chang Xiao, and now he has transferred Chang Xiao to the southwest, so he wondered: "The emperor said last time Captain Chang is very important, what does it mean?"

Lin Rongchen handed him the booklet, "Look at it."

Zhao Xun became more and more confused, "Didn't the emperor appoint Chang Xiao to lead the troops to fight with General Ji? This..."

Ji Beicheng replied in the memorial that he had arranged for Chang Xiao to go to the Northern Zhou border.

Lin Rongchen said: "I asked him to go to the Northwest to deceive people. The place he is really going to is the Northern Zhou Dynasty."

"???" Zhao Xun didn't understand.

Lin Rongchen took back the notebook, set it on fire and burned it, "He went to Beizhou Monday to inquire about the situation, and secondly, to investigate He Lianjin. He Lianjin is extremely vigilant, if not, I'm afraid Chang Xiao will be discovered."

Zhao Xun knew that He Lianjin was a tough guy, and also a hero with strong bones. Back then when he defended the city and fought against the barbarians, he was shot with arrows and saved his life. The late emperor named him a great general.

He was originally well versed in the way of being a minister, and he was not a person who didn't know right from wrong.The reason why he obeyed Fu Zhuo was because Fu Zhuo saved his life. As for the detailed reasons, Lin Rongchen didn't know, so he sent Chang Xiao to inquire.Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

If He Lianjin's corner can be pried away, it will be much easier to deal with Fu Zhuo.

Let's say that Chang Xiao pretended to be a beggar all the way, begging for food all the way to the Northern Zhou Dynasty.He couldn't adapt to the coldness of Hanguan for a while, and his hands and feet were so cold that he developed many sores. If he knew that going to the southwest would end like this, he would not go there even if he was beaten to death.

Originally, the emperor's oral decree was passed on, and the secret decree was handed over to Ji Beicheng, waiting to listen to his orders, but unexpectedly he recruited his subordinates, dragged Chang Xiao back to the room, and then sent him a beggar's costume, and then forced his The hair was spread out, the hair was cut randomly, and the begging bowl was prepared by the way-a celadon bowl with a gap.

Chang Xiaohao is a suave and suave man with star eyebrows and sharp eyes, who is forced to dress up like a beggar.When he held the broken bowl and looked at himself in the mirror and almost cried, Ji Beicheng smiled and handed him the secret decree.

When Chang Xiao saw it, her eyes almost turned black, and she fell down foaming at the mouth.

It is clearly written in black and white:

General Ji:

When Chang Xiao arrived at the general's mansion, he immediately turned him into a beggar, avoiding people's eyes and ears, and begging all the way to Hanguan.

He needs to monitor He Lianjin at Hanguan, find out the relationship between He Lianjin and Fu Zhuo, and wait for Mrs. Xiang's mother and son to hand over the secret decree attached to my letter to Mrs. Xiang and send her to the county.Make no mistake!

Holding the letter, Chang Xiao wanted to cry, "General Ji, there's no need to go to Hanguan all the way to beg for food, right?" From the southwest to Hanguan, across most of Yunchu, I don't know that I have to go to the Year of the Monkey!

"No way, this is an imperial decree, Captain Chang will not resist the decree, will he?" Ji Beicheng smiled very cheerfully, but what he said made Chang Xiao shudder.

So, he could only take a wooden stick and a broken bowl, and headed north alone.

Not to mention the experience along the way, it was already two months after he arrived in Northern Zhou Dynasty.

The author has something to say: feel sorry for Chang Xiao.
