Chapter 609: The first bullet to go home(1/2)
In the court, a game quietly kicked off.
Yang Shouwen's secret letter was sent to Wu Zetian's desk for a period of 600 miles, which also made the atmosphere in the court suddenly tense.
The dignified secret envoy actually encountered an attack in Jincheng?
As the imperial court official, the magistrate of Jincheng County was not only murdered, but even the Jincheng County Magistrate colluded with the thieves. After the incident, the whole family was killed by the thieves... This was clearly a slap in the court and Wu Zetian in the face, and it was a slap in the face.
Too arrogant! Too rampant...
Originally, after Di Renjie passed away, Wu Zetian rarely involved in the government affairs of the court.
But after hearing about this, he was furious and immediately ordered Dali Temple to investigate the matter thoroughly. At the same time, Fengchen Mansion also dispatched spies to run rampant in Luoyang City. Under the instructions of Zhang Yizhi's brothers, the gods were in trouble.
"Since the death of the country, I have often reflected on whether I was too strong in the past.
But now it seems that it is not because I am strong, but because some people always want to make trouble and stir up the turmoil in the court.
Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless... Check it out! Check it out clearly. I also want to see who is causing trouble behind the scenes and trying to ruin my country. Anyone who dares to stop it will be treated as a case of the same case and will never show mercy."
As soon as Wu Zetian's decree was released, people were in panic.
Especially those court officials who had been tormented by Zhang Yizhi's brothers were even more in tears. The entire Luoyang City was shrouded in a dark cloud. Many people still remembered the iron-blooded methods that Wu Zetian showed when she ascended the throne. This time, although there were no cruel officials like Zhou Jie, Lai Junchen, and Hou Sizhi, the methods of the Zhang brothers were not inferior, and even more terrifying.
Lai Junchen and others said it bluntly that they acted according to the order, or had selfish intentions, but they still knew the general idea.
But Zhang Yizhi's brothers are different. They often take the opportunity to make money and are insatiable. Under the name of Wu Zetian, the minions of Fengchen Mansion came out in full swing and extorted everything. The cruel methods were even more cruel than those of cruel officials.
For a moment, God was afraid of talking about the "two Zhangs", and everyone became cautious in their words and actions.
Subsequently, Wu Zetian issued a second decree, summoning the governor of Bazhou Mingyan to return to Luoyang and serve as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
In just a few days, personnel changes in the court frequently occurred.
Some court officials who were still talking and laughing yesterday were exiled overnight, and those who were imprisoned... It makes people sigh that things have changed.
Yao Chong, the assistant minister of Fengge, was forced to resign, Zhang Jianzhi became the assistant minister of Luantai, and Zhang Yue was appointed as the assistant minister of Fengge.
At the same time, the former governor of Lanzhou was dismissed on the spot and escorted back to Shendu. Bing Governor Wei Yuanzhong temporarily took the position of governor of Lanzhou and thoroughly investigated the case of Jincheng. In this series of personnel changes, some people noticed that a man named Lu Chengzhi was sent to Jincheng and temporarily took the position of magistrate of Jincheng County. At the same time, those who left Luoyang were also the Wu Jinshi Pugu Yi Li who was last year. Wu Ze ordered the new Li Shui Army to be stationed in Jincheng Pass. Pugu Yi Li was the envoy of the Li Shui Army.
Pugu Yili, everyone is familiar with it. It is the Pugu tribe of Jinweishan, a member of the nine surnames, who sent hostages to Luoyang.
Last year, he participated in Enko and won the third place.
However, among the three top scholars, Yang Shouwen, the top scholar in martial arts, has become a monk now, and another martial arts Tanhua Wu Chongxun returned to Luoyang after training outside for half a year. He is now the General of the Left Guard. In contrast, Pugu Yi Li, who is second-class martial arts, seems unknown and has no attention. But this is Luoyang, and as long as you have the intention, you can find it. Pugu Yi Li and Yang Shouwen are quite intimate.
Later, Lu Chengzhi's identity was revealed, and he was actually the secretary next to Yang Chenglie.
People all know that Wu Zetian attaches great importance to the father and son of the Yang family. But he did not expect that he would look at the father and son like this.
It would be fine if Pugu Yi Li, but after all, he is the second best martial arts player, which is reasonable.
But what is Lu Chengzhi? He is just a secretary and aide in front of Yang Chenglie. Now he has become a county parent.
This is undoubtedly a major discovery for those who are depressed and unsuccessful...
The capital of God, the storm changes.
Yang Shouwen didn't know that because of his affairs, Luoyang had already had a big uproar.
In fact, even if he knows, he may not take this matter to heart. What does it have to do with him if he is flooded?
However, he could still feel some tension.
Especially when he arrived in Huayin County, he met Zhang Jiuling, Yang Congyi and his group who were ordered by Yang Chenglie and led his troops to pick up Yang Shouwen.
Seeing this, Meng Lingcha said goodbye to Yang Shouwen.
This time, he mainly returned to Luoyang to protect Yang Shouwen. Since Luoyang sent people to take over, even if his mission was completed. Yang Shouwen also expressed his gratitude and asked his husband Meng Lingcha to thank him on his behalf. After all, Hu Meng Lingqing did not have the responsibility to send troops to protect him, but he took the initiative to send his son over, which was a fate.
"Kyuro, is your family okay?"
In a flash, it was not seen by Zhang Jiuling for more than half a year. Yang Shouwen was also very happy to see this future famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.
Zhang Jiuling's name is Zishou, but people who are familiar with him still like to call him Jiulang.
After hearing Yang Shouwen's question, he immediately smiled bitterly.
"What else can it be, the smoky and smoky.
Although Qingzhi, you are not in Luoyang, you have made Luoyang a big fuss. This time, the case of Jincheng made His Majesty angry and issued an order to investigate thoroughly... However, according to my opinion, this matter cannot be investigated clearly, or no one dares to investigate it clearly."
"oh?"
Zhang Jiuling lowered his voice and said, "The connection is too deep!"
He didn't explain it, and Yang Shouwen didn't ask any further. However, they knew very well what the final result would be.
"By the way, there is one more thing to congratulate you."
"What's up?"
"A few days ago, the Yang family of Hongnong sent people to Luoyang to discuss the return of their hometown with Mr. Yang.
According to Mr. Yang’s opinion, the discussion has been discussed. I guess you can officially return to the Hongnong Yang family around Qingming Festival next year.”
Mingxiu listened, her eyes lit up and she quickly congratulated her.
But Yang Shouwen didn't know where the joy came from, and he looked calm.
He has no sense of belonging to the Hongnong Yang family. To be honest, the fact that his father and son are able to reach this day has nothing to do with the Hongnong Yang family. Can they return to their hometown? It doesn't matter in his opinion. It's just that this is the last wish of his grandfather Yang Dafang.
If he can return to the clan, he will naturally have a support in the future; if he cannot return to the clan, he will not care, he is just a background.
"Since that's the case, let's take a rest for one night and set off early tomorrow."
Yang Shouwen changed the subject and brought this topic over.
He really missed homesickly, his parents, Taohuayu, and someone on Cuiyun Mountain...
However, just in line with the saying, life is unsatisfactory*. The more Yang Shouwen returns, the less beautiful God is. That night, a heavy snow suddenly comes. According to Zhang Jiuling, this snow is the biggest snow since the beginning of winter this year. When he wakes up in the early morning, he sees the cold wind yelling, and the strong wind is rolling with snowflakes that are covered with goose feathers, and the world becomes in chaos.
Looking around, it was covered in white.
Yang Shouwen came down the steps and found that the snow had lost his calf.
With such heavy snow, there is definitely no way to get on the road. Even if you force it to get on the road, you probably won’t be able to walk too much!
In desperation, they had to settle down at Luqiao Station and wait for the wind and snow to stop.
This is known as the largest snow since the beginning of winter in the first year of Jiushi, and lasted for three days.
During the three days, the snow suddenly became heavy and small, but it continued. Sometimes, it seemed like it had stopped in the early morning, but when I packed my bags and set off, the wind and snow suddenly came, which forced Yang Shouwen to change his itinerary.
Fortunately, Yang Shouwen is gentle and Mingxiu is a guy who can take things as he goes. In addition, there are few such heavy snow in Jiangnan that Mingxiu seems a little excited, so she bought wine and took Yang Shouwen and Zhang Jiuling to drink and enjoy the snow all day long.
Yang Shouwen was also quite helpless about this...
The heavy snow finally stopped.
The scorching sun is in the sky, sweeping away the haze for several days, which makes people feel energetic.
Yang Shouwen and his party finally set off again and set off on their way to Luoyang. In fact, Luqiao Post is not too far from Luoyang. Under normal circumstances, it may not take a day to reach it. But now, due to the heavy snow, Yang Shouwen and others are very slow. It took two days to walk past Cijian and arrive at Qianjin Fort.
After the snow, Fang Qing.
The majestic Luoyang City is even more majestic and magnificent in the white snow scene.
Yang Shouwen held his horse, looked at the city block, and suddenly shouted loudly: "I'm back!"
Yang Shouwen's voice echoed over the empty field: I'm back, I'm back... Although it's only been half a year, for Yang Shouwen, when he came to Luoyang City again this time, his feelings were completely different. Last year, he returned from Changzhou and was just a conscript. Now, he knew that in Luoyang City, in addition to his parents and brothers, there was another person who cared about him.
After more than half a year of life and death, Yang Shouwen has been nervous.
Now, when he arrived at Luoyang City, he suddenly relaxed, and the fatigue of running around seemed to disappear without a trace.
"Let's go, let's go into the city."
Yang Shouwen spoke and urged the horse to move forward.
There were more and more pedestrians on the road and became more lively.
Listening to familiar official language and seeing the prosperous scene, Yang Shouwen's words gradually became more and more...
He sometimes joked with Zhang Jiuling and sometimes joked with Mingxiu. Before everyone knew it, they came outside Luoyang City.
Since there is no city gate in the west of Luoyang City, Yang Shouwen and others must go around the north gate to enter the city.
There are three northern gates of Luoyang, among which Longguang Gate connects the Yuanmian City and leads directly to the Imperial City, so it is closed for many years; and Hui'an Gate has not been opened due to heavy snow. If you want to enter the city, they must pass through Anxi Gate. However, there are already long queues outside Anxi Gate. When Yang Shouwen and others arrive, they can't see the end of the team at a glance.
"What's going on?"
Yang Shouwen couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Zhang Jiuling smiled bitterly and said, "It's not because of that incident. Now the investigation of Luoyang City in and out is very strict, so it has become like this."
Along the way, Zhang Jiuling explained the situation in Luoyang to Yang Shouwen.
Yang Shouwen knew that Luoyang's investigation is very strict now, but he didn't expect it to be so strict.
"Looking at this, Your Majesty is so angry."
"It can't be said that it's because of Your Majesty, but..."
Zhang Jiuling was explaining to Yang Shouwen, and suddenly heard a burst of crying coming from the front.
To be continued...
