Southern tour ◇

Drunk in Gentle Country

As soon as the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the late emperors on the Ghost Festival was over, the Southern Tour team set off.

Qi Chou went to Jiangnan for the first time after ascending the throne, not only the harem, but also several important ministers, including Taifu Yan.After Qu Mao's report was over, Qi Chou was relying heavily on him now, and he happened to be returning to Lanzhou with the Southern Tour team.

Among the top three in the palace examination, two are from the south, and Bailichen and Xu Si also accompanied them.

The wheat in the south is about to mature, and Pei Jili went to deal with the business of the Yuma Supervisor in the south of the Yangtze River. Instead of going with the southern tour team, he went ahead and waited for others at the destination.

In the harem, Song Yun would of course go.Li Mengxian said he was seasick and he wasn't used to the southern climate, so he didn't go.He also privately told Song Yun that he hoped Tieniu would stay with her, and Song Yun of course agreed.

Those in the harem of Qi Chou, the empress wants to stay and raise the baby, and the concubine Shu and the noble concubine will follow such a great opportunity to be favored.

Yanzhou, the capital of Yan State, is in the north, and Kuozhou and Minzhou are adjacent to Kang State to the east.To the south of Yandu is Runzhou, past Runzhou, Quezhou and Lanzhou are adjacent, and they are all in the southernmost part of Yan State.

The land left by the former Jing Dynasty is rich, with grasslands in the north and ocean in the south. There is a big river in the territory to nourish the wilderness.This river is called Chengjiang in Yan State, and Zhuojiang in Kang State.Except for Minzhou, the Chengjiang River flows through all the state capitals of Yan State.The south of Chengjiang River has been a land of abundance since ancient times.

The southern tour team left Yandu, first entered Runzhou by land, and changed water boats at Shanzhou Port.

Qi Chou and the two concubines rode together, followed by Song Yun's boat, followed by the ministers.There are countless boats accompanying me behind.

Song Yun grew up in a water town in the south, and the water quality is excellent, otherwise Su Mingzhu would not have been rescued back then.Sitting on the deck, swaying in the wind, is extremely comfortable.

Qi Yin was miserable.

Song Yun patted the back of Qi Maomao, who was vomiting in the dark, "Why didn't you say seasick earlier? The accompanying imperial doctor and cook can make anti-emetic soup, but it's for people to drink, and I don't know if you can drink it. efficient."

Qi Yin vomited so much that his stomach was empty and his mind was almost empty. In fact, he was not afraid of bumps. He had ridden even the strongest horses.

But I have never tried to float slowly on the water in a slow boat, so I don't know how uncomfortable it feels.

Song Yun wiped his mouth with a soft handkerchief, and was kissed on the back of his hand, "I am not seasick, I am drunk in Yunyun's gentle hometown."

Still poor-mouthed!Why don't you spit out all those fancy intestines?

Song Yun threw the handkerchief on Qi Yin's face, took out a new one in disgust, and wiped his hands carefully, "Go drink medicine and rinse your mouth! It stinks."

Qi Yin's cat's face collapsed, and he jumped out of his embrace, his paws were as soft as noodles, looking at the hot soup on the table a few steps away, he couldn't get over it.

It was Song Yun who couldn't stand it anymore, and brought the bowl over. Qi Yin opened his mouth to feed, saying that Yunyun's food was sweet.

Song Yun had already picked up the spoon, dropped it, and put the bowl back where it was.

"Embracing it will make you drunk, but if you feed it, it will become a gut-piercing poison? Drink it by yourself."

Qi Yin: "..."

Maomao's aggrieved face.

Set sail from Runzhou Shanzhou Port, the fleet berthed at major ports along the river.At the first port after the mountain boat passed, Song Yun sent someone to get off the boat to sieve some fine loess and added it to the seasickness medicine that Qi Yin drank.

"If you live in the capital for a long time, you may not be able to adapt to the sudden changes in the environment, which is why you feel so uncomfortable. This is what folks do to treat acclimatization. The imperial doctor also said that folk remedies may be effective. Try it first. If it doesn't work, ask Qi Yu to change land at the next stop." Song Yun said to Qi Yin who wrinkled his nose and refused to drink the loess soup.

As soon as the words fell, Qi Yin gulped down the soup.Holding the mouth of the bowl with two paws, he raised his head to look at Song Yun, his eyes were bright, "It's still Yun Yun who loves me. But the folk recipe is asking for the soil of my hometown, right?"

Song Yun had long thought that he would say this, "Your Majesty is the ruler of the world, and there is no king in the world. Wherever your Majesty goes, it is the land."

Qi Yin was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I am ashamed of myself for such an audacity. Fortunately, such a Yunyun is my wife, otherwise it would be troublesome... vomit——"

As soon as the topic became serious, Qi Yin was so seasick again that he vomited on the side of the boat.

Song Yun looked away and looked at the wide river.

He didn't miss the fear that flashed in Qi Yin's eyes just now, but since Qi Yin can say it, it means that his fear has not gone deep, but there is in the end.

As an emperor, with a sword hanging above his head and a mountain of knives under his feet, how could he not be suspicious.

Even Song Yun, now with a moderate amount of power in his hands, had increasing doubts and worries.Now he is not interested in the throne, but as time goes on, who can tell?

Supreme yet one step away, enough to confuse people.

The surface of the river was shimmering, and Song Yun's thoughts swam along the water to Kang Guo downstream.

There, the queen mother was the same as him, no, it was not the same, that one entered the middle palace as a man.What kind of personnel disputes will he face?How are you feeling?Is there anyone who fears that he covets the throne?Will he be shaken too?

Song Yun didn't know, and he couldn't think about it any more. Qi Yin vomited pitifully, and Song Yun patted his back to make the little pitiful feel better.

Let the days go by so slowly.

Desire is inevitable, and the only way to avoid sliding into the abyss is restraint.

Use something else as an introduction to suppress, and restraining desire is better than reason, so as to ensure safety.

Such is the lust for power... so is the lust for everything.

Song Yun proposed to use both water and land. During the southern tour, he changed several land and water routes along the way, so he also escaped several assassinations.Qi Chou originally complained in his heart that he was troublesome, so he couldn't say anything more.

Half a month into the journey, and after entering August, the southern tour team will finally stop in Quezhou for a period of time.

The reason is that Enke Qiuwei is coming soon.

Originally, the imperial examinations were held every three years. In the second year of Shenshuo, that is, the first year of Jiansui, the imperial examination just ended, and the scholars who failed would have to wait another three years. But with Enke, this autumn, August, and next February, they will be fighting for fame again. when.

Song Yun was very happy that Qi Chou stayed in Quezhou to inspect Qiu Wei in person.With the emperor taking the exam, the local officials can't cover the sky with their hands, and with their own escort, Shen Jie will definitely be able to go to high school.

Qi Yin was not happy to hear Song Yun mention someone else's name: "Who is Shen Jie? An unknown person who deserves to be missed by Yun Yun? I always look for a chance to scratch Hua's pretty face!" Qi Maomao bared her teeth Claw.

Song Yun gave him a supercilious look.

Qi Yin only pays attention to the scholars who have passed the Qiuwei examination in various states. Of course he doesn't know about those who have lost their names like Shen Jie.

Song Yun told Qi Yin about Shen Jie's situation, Qi Yin pondered and said: "Yun Yun said he is talented, that must be good. But being an official in the court, talent is second. There are already too many rebellious old foxes in the court. I still want to use some people who are upright and upright. Like Shen Jie, if he is unappreciated, he will be proud of his talent and openly despise the imperial examinations for violating regulations and cheating.

Song Yun shook his head: "Shen Baigui is not such a person. He has arrogance and arrogance. Speaking of which, he offended the magistrate because he saw injustice and helped each other. That's why he got into trouble. He has been suppressed for many years, so it is inevitable that he will be resentful. All he asked for It is fair, if His Majesty grants it to him, saving him from a low point is better than using money, power and position to win him over. A loyal minister is also a good minister, such a person is hard to find."

Qi Yin thought for a moment, "Okay, I'll just listen to Yunyun. Let Pei Jili take a look first, and if he thinks it's good, then accept it and listen to it."

Song Yun said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qi Yin bared his teeth at him: "I and Yunyun are one, how can I refute Yunyun's meaning? Say thank you for him, no!"

Song Yun laughed, "Then no thanks."

With a bright smile, Qi Yin looked away and wagged his tail.

It just so happened that after Pei Jili came to Quezhou Zhoumu Mansion to meet the emperor that night, he received the order to find Shen Jie.

The next day, Pei Jili came back and said, "Shen Jie said he won't take the exam."

Song Yun was in a hurry: "What will he do if he doesn't take the exam?"

Pei Jili: "Fishing."

The mask Song Yi sent last time was carried by Song Yun, but I didn't expect to use it.

Song Yun changed into men's clothes after a long time, avoiding the eyes of all parties, and went out of the State Shepherd's Mansion, dressed as Song Yi, and at dusk saw Shen Jie who was fishing alone in a remote small bay at Qingfeng Ferry.

Old willows in cow clothes, breeze and rain.Song Yun handed the cat to Pei Jili's arms, and lifted the hem of his clothes so as not to get soiled, "I'll come back as soon as I go. Tomorrow will be the autumn exam, so I must make him change his mind. Hold your majesty well, he doesn't like going to the ground."

Pei Jili nodded.

Song Yun turned and walked towards the fisherman, Pei Jili let go of his hand, and the cat fell to the ground.

"Don't like going to the ground? When did you become paralyzed?" Laughter mocked.

Qi Yin didn't answer, squinted at Song Yun approaching and patted Shen Jie on the shoulder, and hummed: "This man has a lot of face! What a risk he took for him."

Although Song Yun was dressed in men's clothing for this trip, there was a danger of her identity being found out when she left the state pastoral mansion.

Pei Jili was not worried that Shen Jie would leak the secret, and said without squinting with his hands behind his back: "People are still acting when they are far away? As long as they can attract talented people, why not take some risks. When necessary, abandon the car to protect the handsome It doesn't matter. Or are you really afraid that he will cuckold you in person? Don't forget, you are a man, and he is also a man. "

"It's men who have dirty minds." Qi Yin sneered, "Last time, the imperial doctor, I told you to dispose of it as you like, and you can do whatever you want. But why did you tell him the details and misunderstand him as I authorized it."

Pei Jili withdrew his gaze, looked down at the squatting yellow raccoon, and smiled with his lips curled up: "For him, you are blaming me for being cruel? It seems that you really have a heart. The members of the Qi family are indeed lunatics."

Qi Yin jumped onto a dead tree, and looked coldly at Pei Jili, "I'm a lunatic, so what are you? Forget it, there's no need to mention that matter again. Where did the little bastard get his cold food powder? Have you checked it out?" ?”

Pei Jili didn't answer and asked instead: "Why do you check this? According to the dose he takes, he will be useless by next year. At that time, won't it be just right to regain the throne without any effort?"

Qi Yin frowned, "Qi Chou's life must be saved. Who is it? Is it the demon?"

Pei Jili: "It seems that you haven't been lying in the arms of men these days and pretending to be stupid."

"Look for an opportunity to clean it up." Qi Yin said simply, "Where is Li Cheng, has there been any movement lately?"

"No." Pei Jili shook his head.

"It's fine if you don't. That one, are you still refusing to say anything?" Qi Yin breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Jili raised his hand and pressed the scabbed scar on his neck, closed his eyes, and suppressed the blood in his throat, "What do you expect to know from a lunatic? country, what are you still worried about?"

Qi Yin shook his head: "The Jing Dynasty did not lose the hearts of the people and subjugated the country. It is not exhausted. As long as there is still a Jing Dynasty legacy in the world, those survivors and old officials will not give up completely. The stolen country may still be taken back by the righteous lord Li Cheng has searched for this clue for many years without any progress, but he can't completely ignore it. Before his father passed away, he only told me that the royal family of the Jing Dynasty was very intelligent and close to demons, good at bewitching people's hearts and close to demons, and born abnormally close to demons... It’s impossible to really invite eminent monks and Taoist priests to catch demons, so now we can only hope that the princess still remembers a thing or two. A Huan, let’s ask again.”

Pei Jili pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time, "If you want to ask about Huijing, you can ask yourself."

Qi Yin shook his head: "Except for you, she can't recognize anyone else."

"Wanting to have a cramp and pull out a bone is considered to be a memory? I don't know where she got the iron sheet and sharpened the blade. If it is half an inch away, it can cut my heart out." Pei Jili turned the bead string on his wrist, Looking coldly at his sudden broken tail, "The red mud road in Songzhuwu is not easy to walk, do you still want to go? If you go, I will go."

Qi Yin stared back at Pei Jili, and put his tail under his feet, "Shut up if you don't go."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Pei Jili held the corner of his mouth, and turned his gaze to the shore again.

"Planning hard, everything is accounted for, even if you don't care about life and death, don't fall flat. You can play for fun, how can you hand over the back seat to a man. Learn those absurd and bad sayings, act for a long time, don't be fooled." Take it seriously and make yourself a joke."

Qi Yin stared at the shore with deep eyes, pursed his lips and did not answer, and then whispered after a long time: "I know it well. Take care of your injury."

On the shore, Song Yun seemed to have disagreed with Shen Jie, turned around to leave, turned back after two steps, and fell into the water without warning.

Qi Yin flew over almost at the same time.
