It's another year of autumn, and the city is full of cinnamon fragrance.

In the golden autumn of August of the fifth year of Xuanhe, Sun Tu once again came to Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

After a few years, I went to Bianjing, and the scenery is still the same, but what about the people?

At this time, Tokyo Bianliang is still the most prosperous city in the world, there is no one, full of flowers, cooking oil, no one will think, will believe that there will be no more years, this great city that never sleeps will face a real sense of destruction, become the final funeral of this era.

So the people here are still living their wonderful or rehabilitated life, the city gate everywhere is like weaving, the boats on the Bianhe River are like shuttles, everything here looks better than has been painted, and the "Qingming Riverside Map" that will be handed down for thousands of years is more vivid and vivid, everyone who enters and exits the city gate has confidence and hope on their faces, the city is as open and tolerant as it was many years ago.

It wasn't until Sun Tu's team came to the city gate that they were stopped by the defenders of the city as if they were facing a great enemy. In fact, as early as after entering the Gyeonggi range, Sun Tu and they have been taken care of by various government offices, after all, there are too many people in their line, and they are all in armor, holding weapons, and they look too majestic and mighty, and no one dares to let them come and go freely.

In front of the Great Song Capital, this vigilance was even heavier, and Sun Tu even saw that a cold light had flashed at the head of the city, and there should have been more than a hundred archers aiming at his team with divine arm bows. However, this still did not satisfy him, because all this happened when he had already arrived at the city gates, and if such an enemy army really appeared here, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty would really face a great disaster.

It wasn't until Sun Tu took out the relevant survey documents and proved that he was ordered to escort the important prisoner to Beijing to see His Majesty, that the vigilance in front of the door was relaxed, and then the matter was reported, and a clear answer was given more than an hour later - the two thousand accompanying soldiers and horses turned back immediately, and Sun Tu could only take two hundred personal soldiers at most to escort Fang La and other serious prisoners into the city.

Regarding the imperial court's obvious approach to Sun Tu, the soldiers under his command were naturally dissatisfied and worried, Tang Feng frowned even more: "General......" He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Sun Tu waving his hand: "Just do this, everyone has already come, what is the difference between two hundred and two thousand?" Moreover, I have long since run out of options. ”

Yes, now there are hundreds of thousands of garrisons in Bianjing City, and it is the most elite forbidden army in the legendary Great Song Army, compared to this number, there is really no difference whether Sun Tu brings two thousand or two hundred men into the city, because if Zhao Ji really wants to take his life, no one can save him.

Of course, the more critical point is that Sun Tu's weakness has been tightly grasped, even if he brings 200,000 troops, he will not dare to act rashly. This time, Sun Tu would accept such an order from the imperial court that was obviously unfavorable to him, stay away from Jiangnan, which was not yet fully in his hands, and stay away from those subordinate brothers and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to come to Bianjing, just because his family, Ya'er, Hu Rong, and his son, who was born more than a year ago but he had never seen once, were all in Bianjing City at this time!

This is the key to Sun Tuwu's choice, the person he cares about was secretly received to Bianjing City a few months ago. Then, before the edict announcing his entry into Beijing, he had seen the letter, which was not explicitly stated, but carried a deep threat. Under such circumstances, unless Sun Tuzhen was determined to rebel and completely abandoned these people he cared about the most, he could only accept the order and come back.

There is another point that he did not say explicitly, since the imperial court can bring his family to Beijing, what about the wives and children of those soldiers who stayed in Shandong? So in fact, it is still far from the point where he can really be an enemy of the imperial court, and he is still just an ordinary military general who is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, but he is a little too radical and too bold.

As Sun Tu made the final decision, the soldiers under his command didn't dare to say anything more, but solemnly saluted him, and then watched his own general, under the attention of countless complicated eyes in the city and outside the city, escort those prisoners through the city gate, and really enter Tokyo Bianliang again.

If Sun Tu, who came to Bianjing from Shandong for the first time, had apprehension and longing in his heart, now he is vigilant and uneasy. Because until now, he didn't know what kind of situation he was about to face, what the attitude of the emperor, courtiers and people would be towards him, and how his family would live......

However, after finally entering the city and being greeted by a burst of cheers, this thought quickly dissipated a lot: "General Sun is mighty! To pacify the thieves in the south of the Yangtze River, General Sun is really my famous general of the Great Song Dynasty! ……”

Somehow, Sun Tu's identity has been spread, and then the surrounding people all spontaneously gave way, bursts of cheers rose like a wave, and countless people looked at these soldiers who fought the rebellion from the south of the Yangtze River with reverence, and even many people stepped forward and delivered all kinds of wine and food to them.

This really made Sun Tu and them a little confused, and after a long time, Sun Tu took those gifts with a smile, and then thanked them again and again. At this moment, the apprehension and dissatisfaction in his heart also dissipated a lot, no matter what those traitors in the court thought, at least the people were cheering for themselves and the soldiers.

Faced with this scene, the military officials who led them into the city were also slightly surprised, but in front of Sun Tu and others, this petty official did not dare to be too presumptuous, so he could only whisper a few words of persuasion, so that Sun Tu once again thanked those enthusiastic people, and then continued to go forward and rushed to the destination.

Sun Tu was naturally not going to his own home at this time, in fact, he didn't know where his home was now, and where Ya'er and they were. Now that he has entered the capital, the next thing he has to do is to settle down in the pavilion first, and wait for the next court meeting to meet the emperor, report on his work, and set his official position before he can officially go home. Although not many people followed these rules in the officialdom decades ago, Sun Tu, as the target of the public, still had to follow the rules at this time, otherwise he would only bring trouble to himself.

Fortunately, his current status is not low, and he is a man of great merit, and no one dares to make any trouble about the reception. Therefore, the accommodation environment of the pavilion is still quite good, and a large compound with five entrances is enough for him and his two hundred people to live comfortably.

As for Fang La and other important prisoners, they were taken away by the officials sent by the Criminal Department after entering the city, and what was waiting for them would be the harshest punishment in the Great Song Dynasty, and death was a relief for them, but now they no longer even have the final say in life and death.

After staying at the pavilion, Sun Tu officially asked the official of the Ministry of Rites, wondering when he would be able to see His Majesty. In this regard, the official only gave a vague answer: "There will be a court meeting in the palace the day after tomorrow, but the official family may not have time to see the general, so maybe it will be postponed, but within this month, the general can always see the official family." ”

Well, it's only August now, which means that Sun Tu may have to stay in this pavilion for more than half a month before he can really see his family, which is too unsettling and tormenting. But at this point, he had no better way but to endure it for the time being.

But things were so unexpected, on the night he entered Beijing, a person who made his heart quiet appeared in front of his door......

￥￥￥￥￥

"Taiwei, Sun Tu has already marched to Bianjing this afternoon and settled in the pavilion in the east of the city." When Gao Yu returned to the house from the yamen, someone close to him stepped forward to report this important matter.

When Gao Yu heard this, his eyes flashed: "Is he really here?" How many people entered the city, and how did he react? ”

"As we had already ordered, he was only allowed to bring about two hundred retinues into the city. In addition, he behaved quite calmly after entering the city, and did not make any mistakes, except that ......"

"But what?"

"However, not long after he entered the city, his identity was known to the people, and many people came forward to salute and cheer, making his reputation in the capital suddenly become famous, which caused us to be unable to do anything at the pavilion post." This cautiously said the question, and glanced at Gao Yu again.

Sure enough, Gao Yu's face sank after hearing this: "How could such a thing happen?" Didn't I let you say hello so that no one would reveal their identity? ”

"According to what we have investigated, someone deliberately leaked the news, but this person does not have any connection with Sun Tu or Tong Guan, so the little ones can't think of the inside story for a while."

"Hmph......" Gao Yu snorted a little annoyed, although it was just a trivial matter, it still made him very unhappy, and at the same time made him suddenly vigilant, so it seems that there is more than one backer behind Sun Tu, and he has to deal with it carefully in the future.

Of course, failing to let Sun Tu eat a bad horse has nothing to do with the overall situation, he is just trying to make Sun Tu make a fool of himself after entering Beijing, and a little thing will not mess up his overall plan.

But after all, he was unhappy and needed to find a catharsis, so he asked casually: "What about the naughty son?" Where did he go to today? The stubborn son in his mouth is naturally Gao Duo Gao Yanei.

The henchmen around him hesitated slightly, and then someone whispered back: "Master, he went to the prison of Kaifeng Mansion and has not come back, he said that he was going to export his evil anger......"

"Hmph, I've already suffered because of his nonsense before, and I still refuse to learn a lesson. Let him come to see me later, as soon as Sun Tu comes, at least don't let him cause trouble outside for this time! Although he has a lot of dissatisfaction with his son, after all, he is a father and son, and Gao Yu still has to consider his son's safety.
