Sleeve the world, mourning melody

Filled with confusion, he clamped his horse's belly and galloped away. After a while, the gate of Yuzhou city came in front of him.

Yi Mo claims to be a person who has traveled half of the country, at least the four prefectures and eighteen prefectures on the way from the north to Beijing. In addition, this trip to the south and west, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has traveled north and south, but the current situation is unknown. .

Dozens of steps away from the gate of the city, there is a deer stronghold to prevent people from dismounting their horses. Below the city, the gate guards will divide the entrance and exit of the city into several lanes. Up to this point, it is in common sense, but when entering the city, Yi Mo, who is leading the horse, encountered something strange.

Men and women are included separately, the woman's side is just routinely interrogating a few words, Yi Mo glances at the other end, and the man's side is conducting interrogation with great fanfare.

There were three stages of interrogation, with more than a dozen guards obstructing them layer by layer. Each pass had its own duties. The first stage of interrogation was to listen to the accent, check the customs clearance documents, and the second was to check the belongings. A group of three or five people gathered together to distinguish the person in the painting from the person who came. Yi Mo glanced roughly, and at a glance, he decided that the portrait was quite familiar, and it looked a bit like Yi Yan. Looking aside, the city gate Shouzheng set up tables and chairs and sat there, urging them to enter the city for interrogation, and only valued the men's interrogation here.

Yi Mo led the horse into the city, afraid of attracting attention, without turning back, the hand holding the rein became more and more forceful, and sneered in his heart: Then Jiang Zhan really thinks highly of her, and puts on a big welcome line, tomorrow, seven days later As the time limit was approaching, the old fox seemed to be afraid that she would come suddenly, so he asked people to block her in front of the city gate.

Don't do bad things and don't be afraid of ghosts, the more so, the more Yi Mo believes that the current Yuzhou is not simple.She looked around the street and led the horse to the door of the inn.

The servant hurried out to meet him, took the reins and led the horse around to the backyard.As soon as Yi Moshi stepped into the lobby, he was eagerly invited to a seat by the waiter.

The square tables and chairs are made of bamboo, and the green-glazed tea cups and saucers that are often served on the table are simple and lingering.Yi Mo got up and called the waiter, "Second brother, I'm an outsider, I'm here for the first time, and I have something to ask for advice."

The waiter in the shop looked at her fine attire, and guessed that she was a chivalrous woman who walked the rivers and lakes, so she nodded quickly, "Girl, please tell me."

Yi Mo pretended to be curious, hesitated, and asked: "I just entered the city, and saw that there were quite a lot of battles in the city, especially when I entered the city, the interrogation was very strict. The second brother knows why, but something happened in the city?"

Seeing the girl's expression of worrying about the country and the people, the waiter in the shop was sure that she was a kind-hearted person, and his words were less convoluted, so he told her truthfully: "Hey, it's a wicked way to say it. A few days ago, I heard It is said that the defenders at Tongguan in the north suffered a defeat." Seeing the woman's expression suddenly changed, she thought she was shocked, Xiaoer went on talking to himself: "I heard this news first, and everyone didn't believe it. A caravan from the north came south, and after hearing some stories about General Mo, he managed the army strictly, but unexpectedly, there were deserters in the army."

This news was like a thunderbolt, Yi Mo's eyes widened, "What did you say!"

Xiao Er hurriedly motioned her to lower her voice, "Miss, don't say anything, this is a forbidden speech."

Yi Mo frowned, "Where did the second brother hear it?"

Xiaoer approached mysteriously, "A few days ago, another caravan went south, and it happened to be staying in our shop. I only found out when they were drunk and leaked... The next day, the defeat of the Northern Cyprus, The word spread in the city. You see, since three days ago, the gate of the city was under martial law, I guess the one on the portrait must be the deserter!"

Yi Mo clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger, a few days ago... Presumably because of the imperial decree, Jiang Zhan and the others couldn't bear to do it.

Desertion on the battlefield, what a big crime!The government and business colluded, spread rumors, and calculated thousands of times, just to prevent her from coming to Yuzhou first.She gritted her teeth tightly, her eyes were red, and her heart was full of grief. Could it be that something happened in the northern border!

Seeing her appearance, Xiaoer became more convinced of what he had just thought, shook his head and sighed, and comforted him: "Miss, according to the petty people, you are a man of temperament. If you have the heart, why don't you go to the yamen gate to sign up."

Yi Mo was puzzled, "Sign up? Why is this?"

Xiaoer slapped his forehead, quite annoyed, "It's a villain who suddenly forgot that the girl has just arrived, you don't know, I haven't finished talking just now... After hearing about the battle, the people in the city spontaneously donated money and collected some money and materials. It is due to the government, and the government is currently recruiting new soldiers, oh, the master Zhizhou said that this is to replenish troops on the frontier, select some young and strong recruits to join the army, escort the supplies, and join the army together." Xiao Er explained and sighed In other words, "Master Zhizhou is a kind person who understands the common people!"

Yi Mo thanked him in a few words, and turned away from Xiao Er, walking quickly towards the city like the wind was blowing under his feet.

She can't wait to see what happens to the government that is considerate and compassionate to the people!

Following the guidance of vendors and passers-by, Yi Mo rushed to the gate of the yamen, and what he saw before him was indeed a bustling scene, full of voices and crowds, and the front of the mansion was surrounded by two majestic stone lions. Leisurely.

Thinking that this is the place where he signed up to join the army, Yi Mo stood outside the crowd waiting in line, comforting himself: Although Jiang Zhan is hypocritical and cunning, but she walked around the city to see that the people in Yuzhou are simple and honest, and the people are warm and friendly...Drowning her eyes darkly I thought, maybe there was a real defeat and desertion, but it was just used by someone with a heart to target her, and the officials and people in Yuzhou were just kept in the dark.

As soon as Xiao Ruoshui, who was dressed in men's clothes, set foot on the boundary of Jiangzhou City and got off his horse outside Jiangzhou City, he "unintentionally" collided with a woman in white who had just come out of the city, and then a note was stuffed into his palm.

Xiao Ruoshui clenched his hands, checked the city gate calmly, and found an ordinary inn to stay. After calling Xiao Er to deliver the food, he closed the door, walked back to the table, and hurriedly flattened the note to read.

In Xiao Ruoshuang's handwriting, the word "Ding" was hastily written.

After Xiao Ruoshui processed the note, his eyebrows twitched. He guessed that something happened in Beijing. He had no choice but to wait for the news. Xiao Ruoshui went out according to the original plan, and went directly to the old house of Yi's family according to the address given by Yi Mo. .

Let's talk about Yimo's side, waiting in line for the registration on an empty stomach for most of the day, but fortunately the land of Sichuan is warm and cloudy, and does not see the scorching sun of the northern country. Standing on an empty stomach saves much effort than fighting for a long time. After several strong men left unwillingly and helplessly, they were secretly glad.

When they lined up in front of the conscription officers, there was a long queue behind them, and Yi Mo guessed that it was already noon.

Looking at the familiar scene, it suddenly aroused the situation when he was 16 years old when he was drafted into the army.

Who would have thought that the comparison between the two would disappoint the agitated people.

There were only two officers and soldiers sitting at the table, one lazily raised his eyes, glanced at Yi Mo, and didn't even care about her daughter's attire, just briefly asked her name and gave up.

Looking at the soldiers on the other side, whether they were sitting or not, they wrote down a few words and sent them back, leaving a sentence to gather in front of the mansion.

If you don't sit well, and your discipline is lax, if you are in a military camp, you will definitely be beaten with a military stick, and you will be unable to get out of the ground for most of the month!On the way back, Yi Mo thought bitterly, felt helpless, and doubts surfaced in his heart.

This Yuzhou government is really absurd!Regardless of whether the news is true or false, and disregarding Shangfeng's instructions, arresting 'deserters' and enlisting troops without authorization is just child's play!She was so angry that she lost her appetite, and when she returned to the inn, she bluntly refused the waiter's delivery of food to her door. After entering the door, she dropped the bolt, lay down on the bed, and stared at the beam angrily.

Tired for many days, I fell asleep unconsciously.

昏时

Zhengyang Gate of the Imperial Palace in Beijing

"Please stop." Qi Yang held the handle of the knife, and together with the guards of the Imperial Forest Army behind him, stood majestically in front of the palace gate, carefully inspecting the people or things entering and leaving the palace.

The phoenix chariot landed steadily, and the sedan chair curtain decorated with brocade was opened. A woman in apricot-yellow palace attire sat in the sedan chair, and she glanced at the person blocking the way outside the sedan chair, "Commander Qi."

Qi Yang leaned over and cupped his fists, "Empress, Empress Jin'an." After performing the rituals of a monarch and minister, he stood up and fulfilled his duties as a minister, "My Lady, it's getting late, may I ask where you are going?"

Sima Zi held his forehead in a serious manner, "Go to Sima's mansion, and get rid of the headache." It is said in the capital that the second daughter of a university scholar was born with headache, and she was raised in her hometown in Suyang since she was a child, recuperating behind closed doors. for many years.This was the rumor that Sima Xiao let out when Shen Nian first entered Beijing, and it established a reasonable growth track for the second daughter of a scholar's family.

Whether it is reasonable or not is just a family opinion, and it is always difficult for outsiders to ask more questions.Now, Sima Zi made this statement again, which really answered the rumor and made sense.

Qi Yang was speechless, and clasped his fists again, "Please get off the sedan chair, the empress, and wait for the routine inspection."

Sima Zi got out of the sedan chair, walked straight towards Qi Yang, and opened his arms, "The general must check carefully, so as not to rumor that my palace has secretly hid it out of the palace."

Qi Yang took a step back and bowed to confess, "I dare not."

The rest of the guards backed away.Qi Yang had no choice but to let him go.

The incident at the gate of the palace spread quickly, and the upright Commander Qi was not attractive, but this incident came from the two masters in the harem, word of mouth spread, and the trend of rumors quietly pointed to the empress concubine competing for favor.
