Chapter 109: Preparation (II)

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of September, and after several heavy rains, the weather was obviously cooler.

At this time, the street has completely restored its former prosperity, and every family has gone out to do business to make a living, at this time, a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old son, wearing a gray robe, and a pair of two-toothed clogs on his feet, is not luxurious, clean and neat.

The young man walked down the street with several followers, and walked along the street, only to see that on both sides of the road, there were streets and alleys everywhere, and there were many shops everywhere.

Butcher shops, jewelry shops, ready-to-wear shops, jade shops, tea shops, embroidery shops, coffin shops, all of them, and on the streets, crowds of people are constantly bustling with people.

The young man looked at it and sighed, "It's prosperous again!"

"Young master, Wang Zhenjun's military discipline is good, and this city is not hard to attack, and the pacification can be regarded as effective, so it has only been half a month, and it has already returned to the past.

This boy listened and nodded, and he also knew the news from Chengdu that it was the first time that there was a killing in one day and one night, and there were very few in the future, and after the blood dissipated, the people were naturally no longer afraid.

Autumn is getting stronger, and most of the shops that have been closed for a few days are reopening.

The group continued to walk, and suddenly the street became brighter, and the street suddenly became open.

The street extends straight out from the middle, there are ten meters wide, all are bluestone paved roads, people go back and forth, the bustle is still the same, but there are a lot of carriages, and the pedestrians do not have the feeling of being down, it can be seen at a glance that this is the place where the rich and noble people go to and fro.

When the boy entered, he saw a few patrolmen glancing at him head-on, and then passed by.

Not far away, there is a silk shop.

In the summer and autumn, most of the big families have to add some suitable clothes, even ordinary people, whose families are a little richer, will buy one or two new clothes.

The boy said, "Let's go and see." ”

This silk shop, even divided upstairs and downstairs, people in and out of the crowd is very lively, the son went in to see, it is clear, it turns out that the bottom is the general satin, there is also twill silk, but the top is higher fine silk.

After watching it quietly for a while, this son realized that these children of big families were too depressed some time ago, and now they are frightened, and they spend money like flowing water, as if they are using the act of selling money to celebrate the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

After waiting for a while, finally, a lot of customers in the store dispersed, and the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, and now in the lobby, there are only a few customers who came together, choosing silk.

Looking at the clothes of these people, it seems that they are from a big family, although the clothes are not superior, but they look Yinghua and introverted, if it weren't for the shopkeeper who has read countless people, I'm afraid I can't see the difference between him.

The son in the middle is not a child of an ordinary big family, and he has to be entertained.

It's just that I've been in Chengdu for all these years, and I don't dare to say that I know all the children of big families, but the children of famous big families have dealt with each other, but I haven't seen this person, could it be that he is a guest from other places?

Thinking about it, the shopkeeper was a little uncertain about the identities of the people in front of him.

Just thinking about it, when he saw the son in the middle, he put down a colored satin in his hand and said, "This one is wanted!"

"Thank you, guest, three taels or four dollars. The shopkeeper said, revealing a hint of joy.

Childe asked people to wrap it, but asked again: "The convoy that passed at the right time, can the shopkeeper know?"

His voice was a little hoarse, although it was an inquiry, it naturally carried a kind of majesty, as soon as he heard his question, the shopkeeper immediately sank in his heart, this person is definitely not an ordinary person.

After listening to the inquiry, the shopkeeper looked outside the store and saw several cars passing in front of his shop.

Unlike horse-drawn carriages, the vehicles of the past were pulled by wood, and it was very precious wood. = The shopkeeper looked at him twice, and said: "The guest officer asked people, the convoy in the past, these few times back and forth on this street, I heard that it is the convoy of the Song family, transporting suitable timber to the palace." ”

After a pause, he said, "I heard that it is used to build a temple." ”

None of this is confidential, but after saying that, the shopkeeper won't say anything more.

"Song family?" Gongzi was stunned for a moment, the color on his face remained unchanged, and he ordered a few selected satins, asked the shopkeeper to wrap them, and went out with his entourage.

The carriage went and closed the door, and the prince frowned: "With a backer, the Song family's strength has really increased instead of decreasing, buying precious timber and building a temple, which is also a proper problem." ”

I didn't finish speaking, but I sighed in my heart, this trip to Chengdu Mansion is indeed a bit risky.

The war had only ended here, but the imaginary depression scene did not appear in front of him, which made him feel awe-inspired.

"Young master, are we going out of the city, or are we staying in the city?" Seeing that the day was a little late, an attendant approached the carriage window and asked in a low voice outside.

"Let's find an inn, it's rare to come here, naturally we have to see more, and let our people in the city come to contact me." ”

"Yes!"

At this moment the carriage passed through the area of the palace, and the street was not very long, and there was only a moment, but at this moment the south wall of the palace could be seen.

There is a post along the south wall, groups of soldiers are patrolling, and in the distance, a heavy palace, hidden in it, indescribable solemnity and depth, which makes people awe-inspiring.

Seeing this, this boy couldn't help but smile bitterly and found a hotel to live in.

This store is a hotel with a courtyard, a hotel in the front building, and a guest room in the back building, first on the second floor, where there are seven or eight tables separated by screens.

I ordered a few dishes, and in a blink of an eye, I served a few, carp, stewed chicken, fried mushrooms, spiced peanuts, and roasted tofu in clear sauce, exuding a light fragrance and making people salivate.

Childe ate a bowl of rice, put down his chopsticks and went down, at this time, there was already a follower and got the guest room out.

When the group entered the house, they saw that the courtyard was paved with clear bricks, and there were a few ginkgo trees in the yard, which were thick and embracable, and the crown was tall, and the house was inside.

The man opened the door and lit the lamp, and when he saw that it was indeed clean and spotless, he was very satisfied, and when the man washed his face and scalded his feet, he washed his feet, and the son rewarded him with a silver horn and said, "I have a guest to come, and you lead me in." ”

"Yes, Childe. With a smile on his face, the man took it and went out.

There was not much time, the sky was dark, a bright moon gradually rose, through the shadow of the trees, the soft moonlight sprinkled down, the son put on his shoes, walked in the yard, looked up at the moon.

At this time, a follower came over and whispered, "Young master, someone is here." ”

When the son entered the house, he saw a middle-aged man kowtowing and saluting.

Childe said lightly: "Get up, don't be formal, tell me about the situation!"

Looking intently, I saw that this person was a middle-aged man, and when he heard this, he responded: "Yes!"

After a pause, he said: "Young master, there was a mutiny in Chengdu in the city, and Wang Hongyi entered the city, and it is said that all the demoted generals were demoted to a grade. ”

Childe listened and asked, "Do you have any complaints?"

"It's impossible to say that there is no at all, but as a demoted general, this treatment is already good, and the villain didn't hear that there was a really big grievance, so he listened to the order to dispatch official positions and enter the capital all over the country. ”

Childe moved slightly, and then asked, "Is there any other news?"

Wang Hongyi summoned many craftsmen to open and repair the Shu Palace, which was originally normal, but later the villain inquired that it was not the opening part, but completely in accordance with the specifications of the palace, all of which were started. ”

Hearing this, Childe was shocked.

Wang Hongyi wants to take this palace into ownership, does he just want to be called the king system?

At that moment, he asked, "Could it be that this person wants to be king?"

"I didn't call the king, I inquired about the news, and finally got an approval, it is said that Wang Hongyi wants to be called the marquis - the marquis of Shu!"

"Shu Hou!" A cold light flashed in this son's eyes, and his face turned iron-blue.

It is not uncommon to know that battles between Shu and even the feudal towns of the world are not uncommon, but even if they fight each other or swallow the territory, they basically have to submit a table to the imperial court before they can justifiably include the new land in their scope.

Wang Hongyi's self-proclaimed official position is not uncommon, and he is barely a courtier, and this time he wants to call himself the Marquis of Shu, which is iron-hearted.

Thinking of the matter of the Jongmyo, Childe asked again, "What about the Jongmyo?"

The villain was about to talk about this, and the villain inquired that the Song family was transporting valuable timber and had repaired all the temples, and all the old gods had moved out, and the three generations of ancestors of the Wang family had already welcomed the three temples, just waiting for the big sacrifice. ”

Childe raised his glass and took a sip of tea, his eyes jumped, staring at this person without saying a word, and pondering in his heart.

Wang Hongyi called himself the Marquis of Shu, built three temples of the princes, and even did not cover it up, which is obviously a sign of the founding of the country, it seems that this person is very ambitious, but watching Shu, now he has unified Dongyizhou, and there is no one in Shu to control, according to this situation, it has been a few years since the unification of Shu. ”

"Father Shuai actually has ambitions in Qindi, but there are many towns in Qindi, and there are many strong towns, but he is half a step late, I am afraid that Shu will be unified, but this Qindi is really difficult to unify. ”

Gongzi pondered for a moment, and then asked: "This Wang Hongyi is so undisguised, then Shu must be known, what do you have to say?"

"Young master, after Wang Hongyi's move, many people in Shu have discussed this matter, and some people are very dissatisfied with this move, saying that they have no king and no father, but if they really track it down, most of the people who talk about it are ordinary scholars, and the big families are either silent or agree. ”

Of course, there are also people who sing praises and praises, saying that Shu has been in turmoil for a long time, and it is the general trend to have a Ming lord to unify Shu and end the division of feudal towns. The man said carefully.

"Overall?" Childe asked.

"Young master, overall, it can only be said that the overall situation has been decided, but the young master, with the approach of the marquis ceremony, the city is tight, the young master or don't stay longer, just go out of the city tomorrow, if you stay for more than three days, you will be monitored. The man then said persuadingly.

Gongzi frowned, opened his eyes in a blink of an eye, and said: "You are right, you continue to stay here, pay attention to the situation in Chengdu Mansion during this time, I will leave tomorrow morning." ”

The son of a daughter does not sit in the court, and this truth has been told since he was a few years old.

This information is not worth mentioning compared to one's own family name and family interests.

And collecting intelligence is not what you should do, so why waste time and risk?

After this person retreated, this son went out, and walked in the courtyard again, looking at the bright moon in the sky, but half a month, this Chengdu, this East Yizhou, it was calmed, this Wang Hongyi is really a hero, if possible, I really want to meet this person...... However, this day will not be long.

At present, the unification of Shu is said, I am afraid that it will not be too far, of course, my Qin Di will not lag behind, and when the time comes, there will naturally be a chance to meet.

Childe shook his hand, his eyes glowing coldly.
