When Zhang Yixian learned that several Western monks had brought thousands of books, he couldn't move for a while. This capable chamberlain just turned around and whispered a few words to the brocade guard beside him.

After a short time, a caravan from the dock to the capital was stopped. Under the orders of the Jinyi Guard, the merchants of this caravan had to move their goods out of the carriage, and let the Jinyi Guards requisition the wagon of the caravan to carry books and luggage.

Wang Zheng, who was watching Jinyiwei act on the side, finally couldn't hold back, he took a few steps forward and said to Zhang Yixian, who was talking to Jinnige: "Although we were ordered by the emperor to go to Beijing, but the father-in-law ordered Jinyiwei to act like this, wouldn't it disturb the people too much?" I advise my father-in-law to let people stop, my retinue has already gone to the vicinity to look for carriages and porters, and my father-in-law does not have to act in this way, as it hinders His Majesty's sanctity. ”

"Who is this?" Zhang Yixian looked at this low-ranking official and asked a little indifferently.

"This is Wang Zheng, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, and he is also the person who His Majesty personally issued an edict to Beijing to revise the almanac." Xu Guangqi said unhurriedly, and gently pointed out Wang Zheng's identity.

Sure enough, when he heard that this Wang Zheng was the person named by Chongzhen to enter Beijing, Zhang Yixian immediately put away the contempt on his face. He said in a somewhat gentle tone: "These businessmen are just profit-seekers, even if they are slow for a day and a half, it is not a big problem. Your Majesty personally ordered me to greet you, could it be that Your Excellency wants to let Your Majesty wait in Beijing for a long time for the sake of a few merchants? ”

Although Zhang Yixian's tone was softened, there was no meaning of conciliation in his words, he dug a pit for Wang Zheng, and waited for this seven-rank petty official who dared to accuse him to complain, and he went back to give Wang Zheng eye medicine in front of Chongzhen.

Before Wang Zheng could say anything, Xu Guangqi and Li Zhizao on the side immediately opened their mouths and diverted the topic and helped their friends out of the siege. Wang Zheng opened his mouth, but finally couldn't say anything that would hurt to let His Majesty wait.

With the assistance of Jin Yiwei, the unloading of other ships on the dock stopped, and the coolies hired by Xu Guangqi and others were given priority to carry their luggage. Although Xu Guangqi did not say anything about the actions of these Jinyi guards, he still instructed his servants to give enough wages to these coolies who were forcibly pulled to unload the goods.

After more than half an hour, Zhang Yixian, who was a little impatient waiting, finally saw that Xu Guangqi and the others had packed their luggage into the carriage. He said a few polite words to Xu Guangqi, and then got into his own carriage.

For Zhang Yixian, although Xu Guangqi may become Chongzhen's teacher, but scholars like them will never have any friendship with him, so he will forget about his superficial respect, and let him waste time to make friends with Xu Guangqi and others, he is not interested.

It is about 40 miles from Tongzhou Wharf to Beijing City, although there is a convoy pulled by Jinyi Weiqiang, but Xu Guangqi and other people arrived at Gaobeidian outside Beijing at more than 9 o'clock in the evening.

It was impossible to enter Beijing that night, the convoy stopped at the gate of the post station in Gaobeidian, Zhang Yixian asked Zhao Chunhua to open the gate of the post station, and then asked the post to ask someone to vacate the upper room.

Beijing City is a prosperous place for business travel, and this Gaobeidian is the main road outside Beijing, and this post station has always been full. Although the people who can live in the post station in this era are either officials or businessmen or official dependents with backgrounds, but when they meet eunuchs and brocade guards who ask to vacate the house, as long as they are not first-class officials, there is no one who will stay and ask for trouble.

Zhang Yixian is very familiar with the customs of the capital, he knows that the real first and second grade officials will not rush to Gaobeidian to stay, they often live a comfortable night in the big post station in Tongzhou City, and will come to Beijing slowly on the second day.

Therefore, most of the people who stayed in Gaobeidian were petty officials or some businessmen. For these people, Zhang Yixian thinks that he really doesn't need to scruple about playing the prestige of his ministers, but today he encountered a strange thing.

"What? Someone dared not to vacate the house, asked the miscellaneous family to abide by the first-come, first-served rule, and dared to let the miscellaneous family go in to reason. Beijing is so big, there are really things that don't know whether to live or die. Hehe, let the miscellaneous family go in and listen, and if you want to reason with the miscellaneous family, which way is the immortal. Zhao Chunhua, surround this courtyard for me, you take people and miscellaneous families to go in, and see what kind of ghosts, snakes, and gods live in this courtyard? "Zhang Yixian has been running back and forth for a day today, exhausted, and just wants to go to the kang to rest early. Unexpectedly, he met a stunned young man who dared to talk to the factory guard about the rules at this station, which couldn't help but make him laugh angrily.

Xu Guangqi, who had just gotten off the carriage, was also suffering from back pain from the bumps, and when he heard Zhang Yixian's words of reprimanding Yi Cheng, he suddenly knew that it was not good. Although I don't know who the person who refuses to vacate the yard is, but with the style of these factory guards, the people in this yard today will definitely not be pleased.

Xu Guangqi hurriedly walked a few steps and shouted behind Zhang Yixian: "Father-in-law Zhang, please stay, I and the others don't need to use so many rooms, why bother with a foolish person?" ”

Zhang Yixian didn't stop at his feet, and said with a sneer in his mouth: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, I dare to despise the factory guards, if I don't go to see this brother, won't I fall into the majesty of the emperor." ”

After all, Xu Guangqi is an old man in his 60s, and after sitting in a two-wheeled carriage without shock absorption facilities for so long, his legs and feet are a little numb. He could only watch Zhang Yixian rush into the courtyard with a few brocade guards.

Xu Guangqi almost fell down in his eagerness, but someone rushed to his side to support him. Xu Guangqi glanced up and immediately said, "Liangfu, you came just in time, you help me to go to this courtyard, don't let this father-in-law Zhang make trouble." ”

Li Zhizao also caught up at this time, and he and Wang Zheng immediately helped Xu Guangqi to walk towards the courtyard. However, before they could reach the courtyard, the sound of shouting and screaming that had just rushed into the courtyard suddenly disappeared, and soon several brocade guards retreated faster than they had just rushed in.

Xu Guangqi was just stunned, but he continued to walk forward. However, Zhao Baihu, the brocade guard who had just rushed in with Zhang Yixian, squeezed out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying and stopped Xu Guangqi and the others, and said in a panic: "A few adults, please stay, you can't enter this courtyard for the time being." ”

Li Zhizao, who was on the right side of Xu Guangqi, said: "Who is the person in this courtyard, why are you so panicked when you retreat?" ”

Zhao Chunhua kept his mouth shut tightly and refused to say another word, but several of them who retreated from the brocade guards firmly blocked the gate of the courtyard and prevented people from entering.
