Jiang Qing

The summer heat dissipates slightly, and the autumn wind rises slightly.

For most of the day before going to Yanzhou, Bai Bingchen was immersed in history books.

He almost searched all the official and unofficial histories he could find in the Li Kingdom. There are too few records about Fudi Pavilion in the history books, but it squeezes the torrent of Li Kingdom's history with a forceful attitude that cannot be ignored. Among them, along with the change of emperors, a little unofficial rumors came out.

Bai Bingchen keenly discovered that from the founding emperor to Emperor Mu Lie, when these four monarchs were in power, the unofficial history of Fudi Pavilion gradually decreased, and after Emperor Mu Lie, these news seemed to be suppressed by powerful people Generally, it was cut off in the sky, resulting in no direct records of Fudi Pavilion in later generations.

And the 300-year conclusion that the fairy said at the founding of the country did not show the decline of the Li country until Zhao Zhen's dynasty.

According to the records in the history books, apart from the previous three emperors, the country of Li was really smooth and prosperous.And since Emperor Mu Lie came to the throne, every generation of emperors will have more or less visions from the sky, but the frequency is less, which makes people think it is a strange folk tale, and has never been cared about in their hearts.

Emperor Murray...

Bai Bingchen caressed the name on the scroll, thinking more deeply in his heart, this emperor is a legend.

Originally, Emperor Mu Lie was just an illegitimate son wandering outside, and when he recognized his identity, he was just a country boy who didn't understand political affairs, but in just six years, with the help of the Fudi Pavilion, he ascended to the throne and reigned supreme. During the eight years of royal conquests, he expanded the territory. During his reign, the territory of the Li Kingdom reached its peak. Then at the age of 30, he reined in his horse and abdicated. Leaving Pingdu without a trace.

Emperor Mu Lie has only been in power for eight years, and his political achievements are enough to be admired by future generations. However, he withdrew early and stepped down quickly, as if this throne was just the most insignificant transition in his life, and he could easily discard it after tasting it. There is no time to write more.

Bai Bingchen looked carefully at the emperor's life. There were only a few thin sheets of paper, but it made people want to pry into the deep meaning. What kind of things made the situation that the Fudi Pavilion assisted Li Guo to make the weather turn smoothly but firmly? decadent.

Does it mean that if one wants to get to the bottom of this matter, one needs to go back to a more distant time, when the Li Kingdom was first established?

If the legendary Mr. Mu Dedi who assisted Emperor Mu De in founding the country and the patriarch of the Wu clan were not a joke, then as existences beyond human power, could they help Zhao Heyu build the country for free without asking for anything in return?Or did you sign some kind of contract with them as early as the founding of the Li Kingdom?

So, what is the price of protecting mortals and keeping Li country alive for 300 years?

The more he thought about it, the more Bai Bingchen felt that it was beyond the range of his cognition. He smiled lightly and pressed his aching temple due to too much thinking, almost feeling like he was in a daze, actually looking for these illusory things.

He closed his eyes for a while and rested for a while, regained his energy, sorted out the books on the desk case by category, called Jiang Yan in, and ordered him to send different mansion newspapers and books to different officials. When he was not in Pingdu, Bai Bingchen sorted out what they should do and the conditions one by one, wrote a letter, pressed his private seal, and asked Jiang Yan to send it to them after he left.

"Patriarch, we're leaving in two hours. I stayed up late yesterday. Would you like to catch up on sleep for a while?" Jiang Yan tried to persuade him while keeping his orders in mind.

"It doesn't matter, it's the same to sleep in the carriage after we set off." Bai Bingchen wrote something on the paper again. He paused for a while, as if thinking of something, and asked Jiang Yan, "You... .Do you really not want to go with me?"

The hand arranging the scrolls also stopped for a moment, Jiang Yan lowered his eyes, and said: "The owner of the family is going, and I don't know if I can come back in time for the winter solstice. If the owner of the family does not come back, I can go and offer a stick of incense for them. As for no one to worship."

During Qingming and Winter Solstice, as long as Bai Bingchen is in Pingdu, he will go to Shilipo to worship, where there is the tomb of the deceased in the case of Cangshan.

Many people, Bai Bingchen, didn't even recognize them all, but the tombstones reminded him that the handful of loess now belonged to a living person in the past.

After the criminal is executed, the imperial court will allow his family to collect the corpse and collect the bones. Those who ransacked and beheaded all over the family like this are the most heinous people. Even if there are any distant relatives, no one dares to identify the corpse. Pretending to be their domestic slaves, or posing as their distant relatives, they collected the bones one by one and buried them in Shilipo. They didn't even dare to write their names on the inscription.

Loyal bones are buried in barren graves, and there are no inscriptions.

"Besides, I promised her that I would guard her. When she was alive, I couldn't do it. When she died, I couldn't break my promise." Jiang Yan, who had always been indifferent, showed a rare tenderness. Can't bear to watch it any longer.

Looking at the half-dried grasshopper pattern at the end of the letter, Bai Bingchen folded it up, stuffed it into a blank envelope, and handed it to Jiang Yan, "I will send this letter over after I leave."

If the request here was made in front of Zhao Zhen, he would definitely refuse, so Bai Bingchen had to arrange everything and let him know after he left.

As soon as it was handed over to Jiang Yan, Mei Shao walked in from the outside and caught a glimpse of the blank envelope.

He didn't pay much attention to it, just glanced at it, as if he didn't care, and quickly passed by.

Fortunately, Bai Bingchen didn't have the habit of procrastinating, and he had almost given orders for the things that should be dealt with, so he got up and left the house with Mei Shao.

This year, the Yanzhou Mutual Market Treaty will be renewed. After the discussions with the people sent by Liangguo and Jiangguo, I don’t know when it will be. The housekeeper in the mansion is afraid that Bai Bing will spend the winter there. He brought a lot of medicines to replenish qi and blood, which seemed to be twice as much as the time he went to Cangzhou.

Seeing Uncle Ji who was busy up and down, and about to stuff a mink fur cloak into the carriage, Bai Bingchen couldn't help laughing and said, "Uncle Ji is going to uproot the entire White Mansion, so bring it to me?"

In front of Uncle Ji, he has a childlike sense of dependence.

No time to pay attention to him, Uncle Ji just glared at this troublesome person, and then he was busy checking the things he was going to take away.

Bai Bingchen and Mei Shao stood on the porch watching the people coming in and out of the yard to pack up their things. It was so lively that it seemed like they were about to move to a new house.

Seeing Ning Kuan packing his things, Mei Shao looked around and asked, "Will Jiang Yan go with you?"

When going out, it is natural to choose a safe person. Jiang Yan is much more mature than Ning Kuan, but the last time he went to Cangzhou, Jiang Yan did not follow him.

Seeing what Mei Shao was thinking, Bai Bingchen replied: "In Pingdong area, he will not go further in this life. As for going to Yanzhou and not following me, he has his own business to stay in Pingdu."

"Pingdong?" Mei Shao recalled it for a while, and said in surprise, "I remember that Mrs. Pingdong's surname is also Jiang, it can't be such a coincidence..."

"Yes." Bai Bingchen verified his thoughts, "Jiang Yan didn't belong to our family at first. He was originally from the Jiang family. Later, he was kicked out by the Jiang family and was taken in by his father as a secret guard. The man in my study He also made that secret room."

Pingdong Jiang's family all know mechanism techniques, no wonder Mei Shao feels that the construction style of the secret room has the shadow of Jiang's family.

The two chatted casually for a while, and less than an hour later, Uncle Ji packed up his things. Seeing that the sky was bright, Bai Bingchen set off a little earlier.

All the way to the north, I stopped and stopped for nearly a month, and the scenery along the way was very different.

Counting the schedule, he would be able to arrive at Yanzhou this afternoon, and Bai Bingchen felt a little uneasy.

Zhenbeihou was taciturn, and even at the banquet where he returned to the capital to report on his duties, he rarely spoke. Bai Bingchen was not familiar with him, so he really didn't know where to start to investigate this military marquis, so he had to take a step by step, thinking about advancing. Let's talk about Yanzhou.

Looking at the sky, when we arrived at the Yanzhou post house, I reckoned that it was not dark yet, so I could take a rest in the post house, and then go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow to meet.

Thinking of this, Bai Bingchen ordered the people in front to enter Yanzhou and go straight to the posthouse.

I didn't expect that Yancheng would be so lively in the daytime. Vendors on both sides of the intersection were selling exotic treasures, among which there were many unique deep brows and eyes. Favor.

In the busy city, the carriages moved slowly, which happened to satisfy his interest in watching the businessmen's transactions.

The vendors all spoke the poor Central Plains dialect and hawked their goods, most of which were flowers, animal furs and glass-like utensils unique to the Liang country.

"Drive—drive." The sound of horseshoes galloped from a distance.

Only then did Bai Bingchen realize that the anxious neighing of the horse was coming from the front, and then he heard the sound of vendors and commoners along the way scrambling to get out of the way. There was confusion ahead, forcing the convoy to stop in the middle of the street.

The neighing sound of the horse getting closer and closer was like a sharp knife, which melted away the waves of human voices, opened a hole from a distance, and stopped eagerly in front of the convoy.

"Ah Shao!" The clear and assertive young voice fell outside the carriage.

When Bai Bingchen stepped out of the carriage, he happened to see the young man not far ahead.

He is wearing a silver crown and purple robe, with a high ponytail flicking in the backlight, looking at Mei Shao with surprise on his face, his bright eyes are full of joy, "It's really you! I thought it was Dad Lied to me!"

Undisguised joy fell on Mei Shao, looking him up and down several times.

Such fiery and innocent eyes did not hide his love for Mei Shao, but Bai Bingchen's heart shrank when he saw it.

"Young Master! Slow down!" The sparse sound of horseshoes caught up.

Mei Shao's gaze turned from astonishment to disbelief, and he tilted his head slightly, "Meng Ye?"

Seeing that he recognized him, the boy's eyes instantly turned into crescent moons in satisfaction, and he drove the horse closer again, the horses under the crotch of the two were already very close.

"Ah Shao, I knew you would never forget me!"

Bai Bingchen looked at Mei Shao's eyes gradually forming a doting smile, he stretched out his hand to rub Meng's head, and scolded with a smile: "What are you yelling, it's not big or small."

"Brother A Shao?" He tentatively changed his address, seeing that Mei Shao didn't show any rejection, he immediately called out again excitedly, and said in a rambling manner: "I can't even believe that Dad said you were coming over. These days I was looking forward to it at the gate of the city, but I just left for a while today, and you came."

"Look!" Meng Ye took a chicken that was overturned from the hands of his subordinates behind him, and showed his affection to him, "This is the most healthy jade bone chicken in our Northland, and it is hard to buy. Very, I just went to grab this chicken, and I failed to catch you."

"Go! Go to my house!"

Not knowing what Mei Shao said, Meng Ye grabbed the chicken with one hand and took the reins of Mei Shao's horse with the other, leading the man forward with this sincere and clumsy gesture.

"No, turn right ahead is the Hou's Mansion, don't go to stay in the post house, okay, just live in the Hou's Mansion, my room has been cleaned up for you."

The young man showed his preference in public without any scruples, talking and laughing at Yan Yan, flitting away.

No one can refuse this vigor, and Mei Shao is no exception. Bai Bingchen looked at their backs riding side by side, and the bitterness in his heart spread to his limbs little by little.

He returned to the carriage.

They immediately joked, but he could only hide in the carriage.

The memory of riding a horse side by side is gone, how could the person standing beside him be his sickly self.
