Three hundred and fortieth chapters hide the sky and cross the sea
A peaceful day in Zhuo County.
At three o'clock, the dawn in the east was already shining on the tiles on the roof.
Just as the drums sounded on time in the market, Situ Qiu scooped a bucket of water from the water tank at home, rinsed his mouth, carried a long bow, took off his waist knife from behind the door and went out on time.
In front of the gate of the yard, there were crowds of people in the Cangtou who were going out to go to the market or working. The gatekeepers held the robbery and stood up, while the officials sat in the gate of the school yawning.
It was another normal day. Situ Qiu looked at it and strode towards Lumen.
After seeing Situ Qiu, the people who were crowded in front of the door nodded and said, "Chen Gongshou, how about going to the yamen to Yingmao?"
"Jings Chen, morning."
Situ Qiu nodded with a smile.
"Just Chen, I'll ask you about something. The governor of Wei said that he would be exempted from the tuition this year, but it's true?"
When asked, he was an aunt in her forties. Situ Qiu thought for a while and said, "Yes, but this year's tax is exempted. However, your pancake shop still needs to charge money."
The other party was overjoyed and said, "It seems that it's true. My big bull is twenty years old this year, and the two bulls are just sixteen. If you exempt the tax, you can save two money."
Seeing the aunt's happy look, Situ Qiu also smiled. He was born in Ji County since childhood. His family was poor. He grew up wearing hundreds of families and eating hundreds of families. He had a lot of feelings for the villagers in the village.
Soon the gate opened, and the people stopped talking, and each carried their own tools and walked out.
Situ Qiu was walking on the street, and the village soldiers wearing knots and linens were everywhere on the street. They were carrying long spears to patrol the city. Situ Qiu was hung with a archer's waist sign, so he could walk unimpededly with his weapons.
After passing through the two yards, Situ Qiu arrived at the county government office. Any city and county government office are a close friend, but Ji County Government office is in the same city as Zhuo County Governor's Office and Youzhou Governor's Office, so it only occupied a corner in the west of the city, which was inconspicuous.
Situ Qiu responded to Mao, and heard from his superior Constable Chen that the county magistrate took the county magistrate and the magistrate Bo and the county magistrate to inspect the autumn harvest in the south of the city, so he was not in the county magistrate. Situ Qiu nodded, and advised the teaching of agriculture and sericulture to be related to the county magistrate's political achievements, so he must pay attention to it.
Constable Chen said this. He had long been lazy. The county magistrate was not there, so naturally the brothers in the county yamen could get a little more casually and receive another day's salary.
Situ Qiu thought to himself that Zhuo County was still as calm as before, and that would be fine.
Situ Qiu found an excuse and said goodbye to Constable Chen, and came to the street tavern with familiarity. Situ Qiu came to the tavern and suddenly saw the wine cover of the tavern, and suddenly hung on his back. His eyes sternly, and he quickly entered the tavern.
This tavern has not opened yet, and the child is wiping the table. The shopkeeper is watching the accounts casually.
"Hey, guest."
Situ Qiu came in and said to the shopkeeper: "I want three bowls of sorghum wine. I will deliver it upstairs."
"Okay, three bowls of sorghum wine."
Situ Qiu went upstairs and sat down along the street, covering the left and right screens, and the seats were very hidden.
Then a waiter with a black mole on his face held three bowls of sorghum wine on a plate and whispered: "Customer, your three bowls of sorghum wine."
The two exchanged glances and the waiter said, "Three days ago, within the military camp in the south of the city, ten thousand prefectures in Jixian were missing."
Situ Qiu's face froze when he heard this, and said, "How is this possible? Why did you know three days later? Didn't we all keep staring at us?"
"Who knew that the Youzhou people were so cunning. They used the village army to replace the flag of the government army. They practiced every day and kept calling. After we noticed it, we realized that the government army in the camp had already set off three days ago."
Situ Qiu concentrated on his mind and said, "I think they must go to attack Taiyuan."
"No," the waiter smashed his fist and said, "If the Youzhou army sends troops to attack the Khitan, Goguryeo, and Xi tribes, how can they use such a strategy of concealing the world? This is obviously what they use to deceive us in Youzhou."
Situ Qiu sighed and said, "It was too unexpected. The news from the governor's office and the county magistrate's office had previously reported that Youzhou's military dispatch this year was rejected by the Wei County Governor of Zhuo County, and the doctor Ji Chuan. We all thought that Youzhou would not be able to do anything this year. Unexpectedly, we were all deceived."
"Yes, what the superior said is right. Li Chongjiu is the one who has the ambition to capture the world, so we are all careless," the waiter took a deep breath and said, "But now we must tell the King of Tang to let Taiyuan prepare early."
Seeing the waiter in the shop, Situ Qiu said, "Pack to someone."
Situ Qiu knew that he had defected to the King of Tang and became his meticulous work, so he had to take this responsibility. At the beginning, he became the King of Tang, and was treated well, and he could save a sum of money for him who had not been rich in his family. Secondly, Situ Qiu thought that how could a person like Li Chongjiu be the leader of Youzhou?
However, since Li Chongjiu entered Youzhou for a year, the official voice was very good and the people supported him. Even the Youzhou gentry who had always opposed it had changed. Situ Qiu slowly accepted Li Chongjiu and even looked at him with admiration, but he had no choice but to enter this door and it was impossible for him to get off the boat, so he had to go all the way to the dark.
"Children, I can't finish drinking it and put it on my wine gourd."
Situ Qiu drank a bowl of sorghum wine, wiped his mouth, and the child in the shop gave him a wine gourd to hold the wine and went down the stairs.
Then he carried a knife with his waist and a wine gourd hanging on the hilt. He came to the west of the city, where the horses of the Han and the horses were traded together. Horse dealers from the Central Plains all squawked here.
Situ Qiu seemed a little distracted, but suddenly stopped, stopped in front of a horse dealer selling mules, carefully looked at the blue and white mule, and asked, "How much does this mule cost?"
"Don't let the meat be replaced with six pieces of silk or ten stones of rice!" said the horse dealer.
"Where is the mule?"
"From Hengshan County."
"It's cheaper, can it be done?" Situ Qiu nodded and approached the other party and said, "The soldiers of Zhuo County have been away from Ji County for three days, and the movements are likely to be heading towards Taiyuan County."
The horse dealer showed a look of surprise in his eyes. Situ Qiu looked grim and said, "It's too expensive, don't buy it."
The horse dealer hurriedly said, "Official, no matter how cheap it is."
Situ Qiu kept leaving, and then the horse dealer looked like he was sagging his feet and stamping his chest. After another moment, he immediately collected the stall and led the mule out of the Jixian gate.
Jinyang City, Taiyuan County.
In the Jinyang Palace, an eunuch dressed in blue was standing in front of the incense table holding yellow books and silk, and there was a powerful warrior in golden armor waiting to stand on both sides.
In front of the eunuch, Qi Duke Li Yuanji, Li Zhiwan and Yin Kaishan all knelt on the ground.
The eunuch said slowly: "In August of the first year of Wude, I was the emperor in Taiji Hall. I ordered Xiao Zao to be the Taiwei, and reported to the southern suburbs. I am amnesty in the world and changed the reign of Wude. The country was named Tang. I was given hundreds of officials and the common people were given a first-class title. The Yishi regained three years, and the rest were given one year. The county was changed to a prefecture and the prefect was appointed as the governor."
"The posthumous title of Emperor Gaozu is called Duke Xuan Jian; the great-grandfather of Emperor Yi is called King Yi; the imperial ancestor is called Emperor Jing, the temple name is Taizu, and the ancestor's mother is called Empress Jinglie; the emperor is called Emperor Yuan, the temple name is called Emperor Shizu, and the mother Dugu is called Empress Yuanzhen; the concubine Dou is called Empress Mu."
"The prince Jian became the crown prince, Qin Duke Shimin was the king of Qin, Jin Qi Yuanji was the king of Qi, Pingyang County Princess Zhiwan was the princess of Pingyang County. Qin this."
Speaking of this, the eunuch had a serious face and smiled, saying, "King of Qi, the princess is cold on the ground, get up quickly."
Li Yuanji stood up and said excitedly: "Did you see it? I have been named king today, and you must posthumously also give me a posthumous title."
"King of Qi, you should be called Empress Mu."
"I forgot it for a moment. By the way, you should be calm!" Li Yuanji laughed, and the officials of Taiyuan County and Yin Kaishan stood up.
Li Zhiwan took the imperial edict. The eunuch said, "Princess, please borrow a walk."
Li Zhiwan nodded, and the two came to a corridor next to the hall. In the hall, there was a tide of praise, and they all congratulated Li Yuanji on the ascension of the throne and ascending the throne in Guanzhong.
Listening to the generous words of civil and military officials and generals around him and Li Yuanji's hearty laughter, it only makes people feel that the new Tang Dynasty's fortune is prosperous, just like prosperity and burning oil in a fire.
The eunuch smiled and said to Li Zhiwan, "Congratulations to Princess, congratulations to Princess, Your Majesty has so many daughters, but you alone have to give the county princess. This is a great favor."
Li Zhiwan smiled faintly.
When the eunuch saw Li Zhiwan's indifferent expression, he couldn't help but praise him and said, "The only ones who can be honored and disgraced are the King of Qin and Princess Pingyang, who are really a pair of dragon sons and phoenix girls."
"What do the princess say? Do you want the old slave to bring it to His Majesty?"
Li Zhiwan said with a nod, hesitated for a while, and said, "Let your father rest assured. I am here in Taiyuan to help the King of Qi. He doesn't need to be diligent in government affairs and he is too busy."
"No." The eunuch said happily, and thought for a while and said, "There is a saying that I said, "You are the princess, don't be surprised."
Li Zhiwan knew that the eunuch was a member of Li Yuan and was considered half of her family. She said, "It's okay for my father-in-law to say it straight."
"Actually, Your Majesty has always been thinking about the princess. The last time he revised the memorial in Taiji Hall, he said that Princess Gaomi had been in the forefront, and my Sanniang had not yet married. If the queen was there, she could still persuade her. Now that the queen is gone, there are no one in the family who can tell me and Sanniang."
When Li Zhiwan heard this, her eyes turned red and she couldn't help but turn her body halfway, preventing him from seeing her crying.
The eunuch also sighed and said, "The princess is the flesh of your majesty. Where can parents in the world do not be good for their children? Princess should not be angry with the emperor anymore."
Li Zhiwan quietly wiped away her tears and said, "I know, thank you, my father-in-law."
