Asking hexagram 20 taels

Chapter 10 Entering Beijing

(ten)

The Yuan Jiajun Department also received the reward from the superior soon, and along with the reward came an imperial decree for Yuan Xiao to return to Beijing to report on his duties.

When the imperial decree arrived, Yuan Xiao was sitting in the tent wiping a sword.

The sword is about two feet long, which is not considered long among swords. It has no decorations on the sword except for the blood groove, and it doesn't even have a hilt, but it is as famous as the Chengqian sword. sword.

This is a sword made of a whole piece of green steel. It is heavy in the hand. Only when it is filled with internal strength will the copper rust on the sword peel off, revealing a little bit of sharp edge, just like in Lai Yizhuang. As if Yuan Xiao's eyes were red from killing, the more blood this sword drank, the more beautiful it became.But it is usually silent like a famous sword, but like a stick of green steel.

"General, the imperial decree has arrived." The captain carefully avoided the edge of the sword, and whispered in Yuan Xiao's ear.

"Yuan Xiao accepts the order—" As if to confirm the captain's words, the eunuch's sharp and long voice came from outside the tent soon.

Yuan Xiao thought for a while, put the sword away, put it on the captain's shoulder instead of wearing the armor, winked at the captain, and coughed "cough, cough, cough".

The lieutenant had been following him since he was a child, and soon received his signal, and howled like a bereaved relative: "General, general, you were seriously injured just now, why don't you recover?" Get up? You are desperate!"

"No! The emperor has a decree, how can I not kneel?"

"But your body, General..." The captain's cry became louder, "General, you just came back from hell! I'm begging you as a subordinate!"

Seeing that no one came out to receive the order, the eunuch outside took another two steps towards the main tent of the military camp, only to hear Yuan Xiao's firm voice stand out amidst the wailing and howling of ghosts and wolves in the tent.

"If you don't kneel when you see the order, it's disrespect."

"General, general, don't you think about your own body? Just treat it as a subordinate begging you. If the Holy Majesty blames you, then one of the subordinates will take care of it." His voice went straight to his ears.

"This is..." Xuanzhi eunuch asked in embarrassment.

The general who led the father-in-law in also showed embarrassment, his eyes turned red before he opened his mouth, and the soldiers who followed the general also began to secretly wipe their tears: "To tell you the truth, our general was seriously injured a while ago and has been lying in bed for a long time. I'm sorry, I'm afraid it will be difficult to receive the order."

"Then it's the same for our family's income statement."

"Oh! General, you can't see the wind with your injuries!" The captain's voice sounded like a mourning call again.

"Then let's announce the decree outside the tent. General Yuan, you don't have to kneel down, just listen." This father-in-law has never seen such a formation. If the father-in-law who came here often changed, he might not even announce the decree. , directly left the imperial decree and left.

Yuan Jiajun often made troubles like this, and Yuan Xiao also suffered many "serious injuries" along with this group of soldiers.

This trick was passed down from his father, and members of the Yuan family's army have already made it a common practice to use serious injuries as pretexts to receive orders and kneel down.

Yuan Jiajun, as the name suggests, the private soldiers of the Yuan family were indeed private soldiers at the beginning. It is only because the ancestors of the Yuan family were too honest.For nearly 50 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this team was not so much the Yuan family army, but rather an army specially raised for the royal family.

The Emperor Tai Zu entrusted this army to the ancestors of the Yuan family, and taught the Yuan family to serve as soldiers and generals for generations to open up the territory for the country.Although the Yuan family's army was constrained by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, the command power has always been firmly in the hands of the Yuan family, and most of the people in the army "only recognize the generals of the Yuan family, but not the royal orders."

However, people's hearts are changeable, and the emperor has passed it down from generation to generation, and the Yuan family army has also passed it down from generation to generation.So this army gradually became a serious problem for the emperors. They cut off the power of the Yuan family army little by little, and tried every means to take back the military power. The tiger turned into a big cat.

It's no wonder that Yuan's army didn't want to kneel down to the emperor. The emperor's fear of this army had already been written on paper.Not only have all the elite troops been dispatched, but Yuan's army has always been the least paid, the food and grass are the worst for Yuan's army, and the military equipment is the worst for Yuan's army. Usually, they are never given the opportunity to make meritorious service in small battles. Only in life and death battles are they replaced by Yuan's army.

Winning is the credit of others, and losing is your own responsibility.If the Yuan family hadn't been truly loyal, they would have followed Chen Qiao's mutiny long ago, and Jiang Shan would have changed his surname to Yuan long ago.

He could only lose his temper, and the wronged general was seriously injured from time to time, so he was spared the kneeling ceremony to receive the order.Generally, eunuchs with a keen eye would not give such a small report to the emperor, even if someone did, Yuan Jiajun would not be afraid.The treatment has dropped to the bottom, unless the emperor wants to violate the ancestral precepts and withdraw Yuan's army, otherwise the situation will not be worse.

Therefore, eunuchs are usually reluctant to come to the Yuan Family Army. Not only are there no one to support them, they cannot receive a thank you gift, and they are also poisoned by the exaggerated acting skills of the Yuan Family Army soldiers. It is really a bit of a loss.

"Since the imperial decree has been delivered, our family will not stay any longer."

"Send off to Eunuch!" Yuan Xiao's voice came from inside the tent, full of energy and not at all sick.The eunuch refused to give in, and hurried out of the barracks, lest he would die of anger if he couldn't get up.

"General, let's go." The school lieutenant went out to look at the eunuch's horse that had gone far away, and turned back to report to Yuan Xiao, "What are you going to do?"

"Go back to Beijing to report on your work. On the other side of Tang Yuan, I am worried about what will happen to him when he enters Beijing. Once his identity is sensitive, it will not be a trivial matter. I have to go back and have a look." Yuan Xiao put on his clothes and took the lock Putting armor on his body, he took the imperial decree and sword, ran to the stable, pulled his precious horse and rode away, "Let's go, Dahei!"

Dahei is General Yuan Xiao's favorite horse, a horse as tall as a man, with a pitch-black body, snow-white hooves, clear eyesight and strong legs.This breed is called "Wuyun Treading Snow", and it is a tribute from outside the pass. The emperor rides this kind of horse when hunting, and often rewards his ministers with this horse.But Yuan Xiao didn't reward this horse, he caught it outside the customs.Dahei turned out to be a wild horse with a violent and proud temperament, and it was not easy to tame it.

It was strange, but this horse was very docile to Tang Yuan, he let him stroke and train the horse, Tang Yuan named him "Da Hei".Since then, the horse has recognized the name Dahei and has not turned back. He has to be called Dahei before he is willing to leave. If Tang Yuan calls it "Dahei" himself, and feeds it with two handfuls of grass, it will be great. Can eat an extra bundle that night.

With a neighing sound, Dahei rushed out of the stable, stepping out a cloud of dust and smoke on the dirt road.

In order to get back to the capital as soon as possible, Yuan Xiao took the trail and galloped all the way, never resting at night, thanks to Dahei being a good horse, he can travel thousands of miles a day and [-] nights.Early this morning, the city gate of the capital had just opened, and before the breakfast stalls on the roadside were set up, Yuan Xiao and Dahei arrived in front of the city gate.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

"General Zhen Guo Yuan Xiao returned to Beijing to report on his duties." Yuan Xiao rode on the horse and galloped all the way to the gate of the city and held down Dahei, shaking off the bright yellow imperial edict with one hand, waiting for the city guard to see the imperial edict in his hand in a hurry When he was busy kneeling, he had already entered the city.

Horses are not allowed in the downtown area.

After entering the city, where there were many people, he got off his horse, led Dahei forward, and stopped when he reached an early morning stall.

"Three meat biscuits and a bowl of porridge." After ordering something, he sat on the stall and watched the shopkeeper skillfully flip the biscuits.

Shopkeepers set up stalls in the surrounding morning markets, and more people came to the city. The porridge was bubbling in the pot, and the heat was rising, covering the morning sun, making people feel refreshed from heart to body. Feel comfortable ironing.

Finally home.

"Young man, do you have any guides to enter the city?" Xie Sanchuan drove the car to the gate of the capital, and lined up in a group of convoys waiting to enter the city.

"Yes, just tell him that I am Tang Yuan, the current emperor is my uncle, Tang Qiyun is my father, and my mother is the eldest princess of the dynasty." There was still a trace of sleepiness in Tang Yuan's voice, and he got up early today. , He was pulled up by Xie Sanchuan before he woke up.

"Young man, stop joking, the guards won't let you enter the city without a guide."

"How can there be so many rules? I'm not joking. I am indeed Tang Yuan, and Tang Yuan is also me. When I was a young master in the capital, which city guard dared to stop me. ——Hey, don't you believe it?"

The people in front of the queue walked very fast, and they were in the queue until they entered the city while talking.

"What are you doing in the capital?" a city guard asked.The city guard was very young, leaning against the wall behind the city gate like a boneless person, holding a pot of tea, like an old man, while drinking and questioning people who entered the city.I don't know when this one came to work.He hadn't come when Yuan Xiao entered the city, and arrived at the post before Tang Yuan entered the city.

"Come to visit relatives..." Before Xie Sanchuan had time to speak, Tang Yuan stopped him, and he replied lazily while hiding in the carriage.

"Hey, are you older than me? Who are you looking for? Come out and let me have a look."

"I'll visit you!" Tang Yuan lifted the curtain of the carriage and poked his head out, smiling at him, "Yang Xianger, why don't you visit the garden and visit the city gate instead?"

"I... you... isn't this glutinous rice balls? Are you willing to come back?" Yang Xiang's eyes lit up when he saw Tang Yuan sitting in the carriage, and he was overjoyed and almost pounced on him. Withdrew his hand and touched his nose, "Your kid is having fun outside, our old man brought me over to look at the city gate."

"The emperor called me back. I have to come back. I'll go first. I'll see you in the small city building when I have time. I invite you to drink!" In order not to block the people behind from entering the city, Tang Yuan exchanged a few words with Yang Xianglue and then retreated. He got up, put down the curtain, and said, "Brother Xie, let's go.——Go to the morning market first, have some breakfast, and think about the pancakes in the morning market."

"Give way! Make way!" Xie Sanchuan struggled to drive the carriage through the bustling morning market, while Tang Yuan kept looking out through the curtain.But seeing the tall buildings in the capital, row upon row, and people passing by in sedan chairs on the street, it is still the bustling capital, but it seems to be much more prosperous than when he left.

Suddenly, as if he saw something, he raised the curtain of the carriage and fled out with ease.

His light-handed kung fu is extremely exquisite, especially in the bustling busy city where he is shoulder-to-shoulder, he is even more like a feather when he lands in front of the stall.

He casually picked up a bowl of porridge on the table, swallowed half of it with a snort, hiccupped well before putting down the bowl, smiled slightly at the owner of the table, and said, "Long time no see, Yuanxiao."

"haven't seen you for a long time."
