(The third update, ask for collection)

A fierce battle outside Liyang City, a few years ago with Li Mi's famous young talent Han Shixu was defeated by the old general Chen Ling and Yu Wen Shi He, Han Shi Cao led the remnants of the army to flee in the desert, this battle achieved Yu Wen Shi and the reputation. Although Yu Wenshi and although he is a concubine, he is not as famous as Li Mi and Han Shixu, and this time he was able to defeat Han Shixuan in one fell swoop, which also proved that he was not qualified to lead an army alone not only because of his identity as a concubine.

After Chen Lingsheng captured Yuan Wuben, he knew that the thieves of Juyeze in Dongping County, known as Yanyunzhai, had conquered Liyang and robbed a large amount of grain and grass, and the old general originally intended to take advantage of the military power to exterminate the thieves of Juyeze in one fell swoop, so as not to go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to fight with the children of the families who surrendered to Yang Xuangan, and offended so many families, and he was naturally unwilling to do it as an old fox who had been in the officialdom for many years.

It's just that I didn't expect Ma Yu Wenshi to reject his proposal neatly, and the reason was very straightforward. He said to Chen Ling: "Your Majesty has sent the old general Yang Yichen to recruit envoys for the six counties, and he is in charge of the suppression of bandits in each county. However, if the old general insists on suppressing the thieves of Junozawa, it is inconvenient for me to stop him. ”

His meaning is very clear, if you really want to fight, then you can fight, anyway, I won't go with you.

Others don't know who the people are in Yanyun Village, and Yu Wenshi and can guess the identities of those people just by hearing the names. joke, to fight with the 30,000 soldiers who stood in the right place and the right place, he was not that interested.

Chen Ling's men and horses fought fiercely repeatedly, the losses were quite large, and the soldiers were tired, if there was no Yuwen and the men and horses to help, he would not dare to provoke the thieves of Ju Yeze easily, so he had to give up. Yu Wenshi and led the army to meet the general Yu Wenshu, and he took his men and horses to the southeast to chase Han Shixu.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Cause issued an order on the way south to Jiangdu, and the children of the family who surrendered to Yang Xuangan were forced to have no choice but to do this unwise act.

This is the ability of the family, there are so many families involved, even the emperor of the Great Sui did not dare to condemn easily, so he could only issue an order to exempt those children of the family who were "bewitched by thieves". So much so that Yang Xuangan's rebellion looked more like a farce, which began to be vigorous, but ended with a tiger's tail. From the beginning to the end, the people of the family were not implicated in the slightest, but thousands of miles of fertile land on both sides of the Yellow River were barren, hundreds of thousands of people died, and millions were displaced.

Yang Xuangan was defeated three times in Huangtianyuan, and finally ended up in pieces.

It's just this rebellion that completely ignited the fuse of the people's uprising, not only on both sides of the Yellow River, but also in the south of the Yangtze River, where the rebels began to raise the banner of anti-Sui. It's just that the chaos in the whole world doesn't seem to affect the good interest of Emperor Yang Guang to visit the Xingjiang capital, nor can it affect the pleasure brought to him by the completion of the new dragon boat.

He didn't even care about the case reported by Yu Shihong, the Shouyu of Jiangdu County, for the case of collusion between Zhu Yishi, the head of the Zhu family who was responsible for building the dragon boat, and the anti-thief Yang Xuangan, he just casually said a word to investigate carefully, and then boarded the new dragon boat to watch. So much so that none of the things prepared by Yu Shihong were useless. But that's fine, Yu Shihong is also relieved. When Yang Guang looked at the dragon boat, it was Zhu Bushi who had the courage to follow behind, and he was always afraid that His Majesty would ask, but Yang Guang didn't ask him a word from beginning to end.

Yang Guang, who was very interested, even ordered to reward the craftsmen who made the dragon boat with ten pieces of meat and fifty catties of polished rice for each of them. He had forgotten that the 1,800 craftsmen had been executed on the way to Shui'an. But none of the officials present, whether Yu Shiji or Pei Ju, mentioned this matter. Wen Yidao, who personally ordered the disposal of those craftsmen, did not mention this matter.

Your Majesty will always be Your Majesty who is benevolent and charitable, so I can't say it.

And the money and food that were given to him naturally would not be unable to find a place to go.

Zhu Bushi stubbornly followed at the end, and it was not until His Majesty returned to the palace that he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and secretly said that this is really hard to accompany the king, although His Majesty the Emperor has never said a word to him, but because there is a ghost in his heart, he has always been scared. finally came to an end, and immediately sued Yu Shihong, the Shou of Jiangdu County, and returned home. It's just that halfway through he was stopped by a few palace guards in brocade clothes, saying that someone in the palace wanted to see him.

This almost scared Zhu Bushi to death, and asked who the brocade-clothed guards were who wanted to see him, but the guards ignored him at all, and just asked him to leave quickly with a cold face.

Zhu Bushi said in his heart that this is broken, could it be that His Majesty remembered something to ask about the eldest brother?

He followed the brocade-clothed guards into His Majesty's palace in fear, and walked a long way after seven or eight turns. This journey was simply torment for Zhu Bushi, and the sweat had already wet his whole body. Finally, he arrived at a small courtyard where he could read, and the guards told him to go in.

Zhu Bushi took a deep breath and still couldn't hold back his trembling body, and entered the small courtyard tremblingly. Because he was so nervous, he didn't feel anything wrong at all. How could the emperor live in such a remote and low courtyard?

When Zhu Bushi entered the courtyard gate, he saw a man in brocade standing under a peach tree, the peaches had already fallen at this time, and he didn't know what the man in brocade was looking at intently. The man was tall and long, with long hair casually draped behind his head. He stood under the peach tree with his hands in his hands, staring at the tree with his head slightly raised. Not far from him stood two pretty and petite women, these two people were of average height, and Zhu Bushi didn't dare to look at them.

Not an emperor?

Zhu Bushi's mind froze, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your name is Zhu Bushi?"

The brocade-clothed man turned around slowly, and his gaze swept over Zhu Bushi's body.

"The grass people are exactly, may I ask what the adults have to tell me to come to me?"

Zhu Bushi bent down and said humbly.

The man in brocade was Wen Yao, he only glanced at Zhu Bushi and then fixed his gaze on the peach tree that had nothing to see.

"The old master of the Zhu family gave you this name, it seems to have a deep meaning."

Wen Yao said lightly: "Don't you enter the official career?" It's just that...... How could he control this? Could it be that Your Majesty rewarded your Zhu family, and you can still resist the decree? ”

"Grass People...... The grass people don't dare! ”

Zhu Bushi said in a trembling voice.

He quietly clenched his fists, his palms slippery and greasy with sweat.

"Your Majesty just decreed that your eldest brother Zhu Yishi should be appointed as the captain of the Liupin Scattered Cavalry, and he will be in charge of dragon boat affairs. But since your eldest brother is dead, this official position will also fall on your head. There are a few words to be said to you, and you should remember. First, Your Majesty doesn't care whether the reward is Zhu Yishi or Zhu Bushi, because Your Majesty doesn't have time to care about such trivial matters, as long as your Zhu family is loyal to Your Majesty, there will naturally be a reward. Therefore, Zhu Yishi is dead, no matter what, he is also dead. Second, the case reported by Jiangdu County is ....... in my hands, I heard Lord Yu Shihong say that you killed your relatives in righteousness, and personally brought evidence to Jiangdu Mansion to report, since you have this loyal heart, Your Majesty's benevolence will not be connected to your Zhu family, and you will be the head of the Zhu family in the future. ”

"Yes......"

Zhu Bushi hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The grass people have written it down." ”

"You are no longer a grass citizen, you are now a person with an official position."

Wen Yao turned his head to look at Zhu Bushi and said lightly: "Tell me in detail about your eldest brother Zhu Yishi's rebellion, there is a trace of concealment, I guarantee that the position of the head of your family will fall into the hands of others, and the official position you just got will be removed immediately." ”

……

……

Ten days later, Yishui Ferry.

When Xu Blind took people to the ferry, he suddenly found that something was wrong, and he didn't know why there were suddenly a lot of officials and errands, and there were some people in brocade clothes who patrolled back and forth. He didn't dare to approach, but waved his hand to signal the team to stop on the official road.

"Brother Xu, something is wrong!"

A bandit said in a low voice: "Pingyue has not been guarded by officials and soldiers at this ferry, isn't there something big going on with this heavily guarded appearance today?" ”

Blind Xu nodded and said, "Ninety percent is Zhu Yishi's matter, and it's a big trouble." ”

He frowned and said: "It's really fucking weird, we haven't found any trace of those people all the way through, are the people in Yanyun Village all birds?" Plugged in the wings and flew? ”

"Brother Xu, there are not a hundred roads from Jiangdu to Yishui Ferry, but there are also eighty, and it is impossible for us to stop them. But since we arrived at this ferry, we can only wait here, if those people in Yanyun Village are not as fast as us, maybe we can stop them here. ”

Xu Blind sighed: "If you want to cross Yishui, why do you have to go from here?" This place is blocked by the official army, won't the people of Yanyunzhai go around a few miles and spend money to hire a boat to cross the river? ”

The bandit smiled and said, "If they hadn't arrived, how would they know that the ferry was blocked by the official army?" ”

Xu Blind's eyes lit up, and he patted his hand on the shoulder and smiled: "Makes sense!" Let's go, find a place to guard! ”

Yishui Ferry, the officers and soldiers came to inspect, among them there were many people in brocade clothes Long Tingwei supervising the officers and soldiers to search the passing people, a Long Tingwei soldier casually glanced at it, just saw Xu Blind and others leading the horse and was about to turn around and leave, alerted to what was wrong with those people, he immediately walked to the captain of the team leader and said: "My lord! Those dozen or so people over there look like there's something wrong! ”

The lieutenant followed his instructions and looked over, and saw Xu Blind and the others getting on their horses and leaving.

"Stop!"

The lieutenant immediately shouted loudly: "The official is investigating the case, you all stop!" ”

Xu's blind body stiffened, and several of his subordinates looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xu, what should I do!" ”

He glanced not far away, there were more than 100 archers and archers guarding the official road, and they had already bent their bows and arrows to aim at them, and they were afraid that they would lose a lot of money. He gritted his teeth, and Suo stopped.

Xu Blind thought for a while and said: "If they are catching Zhu Yishi, there must be a portrait in their hands, they take people according to the picture, as long as they don't match the portrait, they can't take us." Hide your weapons and don't panic. ”

The weapons of his men were hidden in packages on the side of the saddle, and everyone dismounted and waited for the officers and soldiers to come. The blind man turned around and squeezed out a humble smile, and said with a flattering smile: "This lord, are you calling the grass people?" ”

The captain of the Long Tingwei walked over with a cold face, looked at the blind man Xu carefully, and then reached out to take the portrait from the brocade-clothed guard next to him, and compared it with the blind man. Seeing that it was not the person in the portrait, he ordered in a cold voice: "All of you raise your heads!" ”

Xu Blind Man made a look, and everyone took off the hat on their heads to reveal their faces. The captain of Long Tingwei looked over and compared the portraits one by one, saw that there were no people to arrest, and then looked at these people Although they were not like ordinary people, he didn't want to do much, and then asked casually: "Why do you want to go back when you come here?" ”

Xu Blind leaned forward, took out a bag of silver from his arms and stuffed it into the captain's hand and said with a smile: "My lord, we are all businessmen who go to Jiangbei, and I am afraid that my lord's business will be delayed when I see that my lord is investigating the case here, and I am afraid of my lord's majesty, so I want to go back to the river, you know, now the ground in Jiangbei is not very peaceful, and we are also afraid that there will be some thieves in our Yishui." ”

The lieutenant looked left and right, and then tucked the silver tael into his cuffs.

"Merchant? It's not easy enough, okay, if you want to cross the river, go over now. When the court handles cases, it will not arbitrarily wronged good people. ”

Xu Blind was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly thanked him. The lieutenant weighed the weight of the bag of silver taels in his cuffs, and knew that it was not a few, so he smiled and said: "Jiangbei is indeed a little messy, you guys should be careful along the way!" ”

He patted the blind man Xu on the shoulder and said.

Xu Blind hurriedly thanked him, and was about to cross the river with people. As soon as he walked to the edge of the bridge, he suddenly heard the captain behind him shouting, "Stop! ”

The captain had already let them cross the river, and he was quite happy to get a foreign fortune for nothing, but he suddenly felt a little awkward in his hands, and when he looked down, he found that his hands were covered in blood! Remembering that he had patted the merchant on the shoulder before, the lieutenant immediately became vigilant!

"Stop them all!"

He shouted loudly as he chased after him.
