Led by Liu Lu, a group of people came to the Royal Post in Licheng City, and the prefect of Licheng who heard the news also hurried over to greet him.
The courteous exchanges with the prefect of Licheng, and the trivial matters of staying in the inn have nothing to do with Qi Wu and Qi Jiang. It is their own room.
Downstairs, the Licheng prefect's proposal to hold a banquet to cleanse the wind and dust was directly rejected by Liu Lu. The prefect didn't feel ashamed or anything. It was obvious that Liu Lu really had no intention of such an arrangement, so the prefect politely said a few words , and departed with those who had brought them.
After returning to the prefect's mansion, the prefect touched his chin and said to the valet beside him: "A few days ago, I did hear some news that the emperor sent people to go south. Unexpectedly, it was the Qi clan who went there. I still want Qi." People from the clan enter the palace... Is there anything special about this Qi clan person? Do you think my lord should also raise a Qi clan person in the mansion?"
Hearing this, the servant's expression was indescribable: "My lord...you are not very masculine..."
"Nonsense! Of course my lord doesn't like men! But I have never heard that the emperor likes men before. There are so many concubines in the palace, and there are seven or eight princes and princesses... Maybe there is something special about the Qi people. My lord Raise one, maybe it will be of great use in the future!" The more the eunuch said, the more he felt reliable, "It's no big deal if you don't need it, my lord has such a big mansion, can't afford to support an idler?"
The attendant nodded in agreement, and asked again: "Then... ask someone to go to the south?"
The prefect was a little speechless: "What are you going to the south? Go directly to the Qi clan to ask for someone? What is my status as your lord! No matter how unpopular the Qi people are, they are called foreign friends on the surface. Don't say that my lord is just a li The prefect of the city, even the prime minister of the capital, has no such qualifications."
"No...the land of the Qi clan is in the south. After leaving the clan land, they often live in the south. We have not seen a few people from the Qi clan in Licheng in the past few years. If you want, sir, you must not send people to the south. Looking for it, looking for the one who has left the clan land...just like the male concubine of Miss Sun's family, a member of the Qi clan, who was..."
Hearing this, the eunuch slapped the servant on the head, and he was a little annoyed: "If your old mother is not my lord's nanny, my lord should have dismissed you as a close servant right now! The son-in-law of the Sun family It's a no-brainer who dared to snatch someone back, and that Qi clansman was timid and didn't know how to pursue it, otherwise the whole Sun family would be involved in such a matter before the young lady of the Sun family reconciled with her son-in-law! "
The servant didn't dare not believe what the prefect said, but he still found it strange, and couldn't help muttering: "... There are quite a few people who raise the Qi people in the back house, I always heard..."
"You know you've heard it! How many people are there in total? How many people have left the clan land? How many people can afford to raise them? You've heard too many stories before you think it's a lot! Besides, if the people of the Qi clan voluntarily befriend someone and go to grab it with you, can it be called a thing?"
He robbed someone for no reason, and he was still a foreigner, especially the Qi clan, which is inherently special and extremely few in number... If something happens and you sue the officials, the matter will become serious, and no one will let the Qi clan people go In his eyes, he had to do enough superficial work to appease people.
Today's emperor doesn't like to cause trouble, and attaches great importance to the harmony with small foreign countries, especially those who take the initiative to surrender like the Qi clan... Every year, the rewards and gifts are generous.
The prefect waved his hand: "Just tell those guarding the city gates to pay more attention to the guides. There is such a red mark on the guides of the Qi people, you can't miss it. If you can meet one, you can raise it. If you can't meet It's not an important matter, you have to calm down for me, don't leave it outside and talk nonsense."
The young attendant hesitated to speak, but still couldn't hold back: "Didn't it mean that the people of the Qi clan all have a mark on the back of their necks? Lu Yin can fake it, but the mark is always more difficult to fake..."
The prefect didn't bring it up in one breath, and kicked him over: "When you check the city gate, stare at people's necks. I, the prefect of Licheng, can't do it! There are so many people with disheveled hair and hats covering their faces. go?"
The prefect of Licheng is a solid high-ranking post. Although unlike other cities, the prefect can walk sideways in the city he guards, but this person wants many people. After all, he gets it every year. It's real gold and silver, and the high-ranking officials in the capital and even the emperor acquiesced that you, as the prefect, can accept some things that shouldn't be collected.
The most important thing to sit in this seat is to be interesting. If the interrogation of the city gate is too strict, he, the prefect of Licheng, should be replaced.
...It is also true that the counterfeiting industry in Licheng is also very developed, and the fakes produced by this fraud are really not fake.
Some people with inconvenient identities but some money in their hands like to come to Licheng, make up their identities, and check them casually. It can be used in other places as long as it is not checked in detail.
As for being found out... Anyway, it's your own business, I don't know from top to bottom in Licheng.
……
At night, the station is very quiet.
Qi Wu sat in front of the window of his room, quietly watching the dark night.
He was waiting for the news—the news of the queen's death would spread from Wendu to Licheng.
According to the original itinerary, the group of them would stay in Licheng at most until tomorrow morning, and then set off to continue to the imperial city.
But the queen passed away, according to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Liu Lu and the others would stay in Licheng for at least seven or eight days, and would go to the National Temple every day to do things for the deceased queen, kneel down and listen to the scriptures of the past.
According to the plot in the book, the queen should have... died of a serious illness at this moment.The news will start from Wendu, and will be delivered to various cities in Dazhou through the use of two methods: carrier pigeons and post envoys.According to the distance from the capital, the time when the news arrived was also early or late.
If there is no news tonight, at most tomorrow morning, Qi Wu plans to forcefully stay in Licheng for a few more days with the excuse of being unwell.
Now while he was staying up late waiting for the news, he was also preparing for his "discomfort". After all, he couldn't sleep refreshed and full of energy, so he should tell Liu Lu and the others that he was ill.
When the gong rang at five o'clock, Qi Wu sat in front of the window in a daze, struggling in sleepiness, and seemed to hear a slight sound of wings fluttering in a trance.
Qi Wu didn't pay attention to it at first, but now it's around five o'clock in the morning, he stayed up all night half asleep and half awake, and his mind was in a daze.Still stunned for a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked out.
The window was open, and below was the backyard of the inn. The orientation of his window was very convenient. Looking down, it happened to be the place where the inn kept pigeons.
There is a pigeon with a whole body of white and a faintly red beak, which is falling on the side of the trough outside the cage, bowing its head to eat and drink.
Qi Wu's hand holding the window sill was clenched suddenly.
He remembered very clearly that the pigeon cages in the station were closed, and all the pigeons that had been raised in the station were in cages.The pigeon standing outside the cage could only have just flown in from the outside.Look at this familiar appearance... It should be the pigeon that flew out from Wendu, and Qi Wu waited all night.
Although it was still early, the person in charge of feeding the pigeons had developed the habit of sleeping lightly because of his special position. He had already heard the movement outside and came out sleepily to catch the pigeons.
Standing by the window, Qi Wu watched the man untie a small thing from the carrier pigeon's feet, then let go of the carrier pigeon, lowered his head and fiddled for a while, and slowly unfolded a small piece of white paper with his fingers.
The pigeon breeders didn't pay much attention at first, they only subconsciously followed the process to work.Although they are pigeons from Wendu, Licheng is a prosperous place with many unstable factors, so they often receive formalized official newspapers from Wendu. Pigeon breeders read too many such notices, so they don’t like it. How curious.
He was thinking that he could go back to the house and sleep in the cage after reading it, and report it when it was dawn, while looking at the letter paper he got from the carrier pigeon's feet.
After a while, the pigeon breeder woke up with a start, shouted in shock and ran towards the lobby of the inn. While running, he tripped over his left foot and tripped over his right foot.
"The empress has collapsed! My lord! The empress has collapsed!"
Upstairs, Qi Wu quietly closed his eyes.
In the original plot, the chronic and serious illnesses of the empress Song Wanqing were caused by the emperor, the protagonist Gongshang Wenjing, secretly.
Song Wanqing is a very powerful and cruel person, to a certain extent, she and Shang Wenjing are a natural match.
Before Shang Wenjing became the crown prince, Song Wanqing knew that he would surely ascend to the throne in the future. She wanted to be a queen, so she decided to marry Shang Wenjing and help Shang Wenjing ascend the throne, and at the same time, she also used her strength to help herself. The Song family seeks profit.
But Shang Wenjing had a marriage that was arranged before he was born, and it seemed that the wedding was already on the agenda... At that time, Song Wanqing was so cruel that she poisoned Shang Wenjing's fiancée at that time, and her hands and feet were clean. .The clothing is seamless.
Later, she became Shang Wenjing's official wife as she wished. Song Wanqing and the Song family behind her planned many things for Shang Wenjing along the way.Shang Wenjin has no objection to seeking power and killing someone outside.But in her own mansion, Shang Wenjing was quite dissatisfied... Song Wanqing didn't want other women to give birth to Shang Wenjing's child. Shang Wenjing's greedy maidservant, and concubine Ji who was pregnant with Shang Wenjing's child.
After Shang Wenjing became the emperor and Song Wanqing became the empress as she wished, Song Wanqing, who was confined by the palace wall, was gradually not satisfied with fighting in the palace all day long. Instead of thinking about which concubine she was going to mess with today, and how not to make a big fuss and kill other concubines... The concubine has just conceived or just given birth to a child... Song Wanqing found out that she wanted to be the emperor and take power by herself.
This completely touched Shang Wenjing's rebellious scales, but at that time Shang Wenjing was afraid of the distant emperor Shang Fuheng, and internally he could not fully control the court situation, so he had to pretend to be a snake while being afraid of the Song family's father and daughter .
Year after year, day after day, the deep affection between Emperor Jin and Empress Song has become known to all.At present, Empress Song died of illness, and Emperor Jin then declared illness and left the court. The deep affection touched many people in the world.
It's just that few people knew that it was Shang Wenjing who personally sent his queen to hell.Not many people know that Song Wanqing even gave her husband a big gift before she died—Shang Wenjin didn't leave the court just to pretend to be affectionate and put on a show. You have no intention of going up!
The courteous exchanges with the prefect of Licheng, and the trivial matters of staying in the inn have nothing to do with Qi Wu and Qi Jiang. It is their own room.
Downstairs, the Licheng prefect's proposal to hold a banquet to cleanse the wind and dust was directly rejected by Liu Lu. The prefect didn't feel ashamed or anything.
