Asking hexagram 20 taels

(64)

As spring and autumn came and the country changed hands, Yuan Xiao finally received the order from his superiors, and all the officers and men of Yuan's army returned to Beijing to report on their duties.

It was also on the way Yuan Jiajun returned to Beijing that Yuan Xiao received news from the capital.

The first emperor died.

National mourning was issued all over the country. Everywhere Yuan Jiajun passed by, all the women wore a white flower on their temples, and the men wore a white flower in front of their collars to express their grief.But not everyone's face showed sadness, and most people were indifferent to it.

But it is also true that the abdication of the first emperor by the current emperor is nothing more than a chat after dinner for the common people.

"Tangyuan, come out quickly," Yuan Xiao put his foot on the beam of the carriage, and stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the carriage, "I went to the nearby village to borrow two white flowers, and you don't want to put them on your chest." Yuan Xiao twisted his hands He handed Tang Yuan a flower folded with a white cloth. The white cloth had been rubbed into a mess, and stains could still be seen on the surface. It could be seen that the person who folded the white flower didn't put much effort into it.

Tang Yuan took the white flower, took out a needle and pinned it on the lapel twice, stepped out of the carriage and half-knelt on the carriage, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance: "This is really a lot different than when I came here. .”

It has been less than a year since Tang Yuan rode his horse and left the Central Plains Road. Now it seems that the changes in the capital have been earth-shaking.Don't say that this country has changed owners, even the lanterns on the city wall have changed in style. At that time, the arrest warrants for the whole capital of my relatives have almost been withdrawn now.

Tang Yuan was a wanted criminal on his own charges when he left, but he was relaxed when he came back.It's so unpredictable.

Thinking this way in Tang Yuan's heart, he opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage to walk to the gate of the capital with Yuan Xiao.There were two rows of soldiers standing in front of the gate of the capital, and each of them stood upright, straighter than the guns standing on their hands.

Yuan Xiao could tell at a glance that this was the elite army of the capital.Now the Seventh Prince is actually also, ah, no, now he should be honored as the Holy One, and moved out to watch the city gate for the capital.

The school lieutenant stepped forward to negotiate with the city guard: "Yuan's army has returned to defense, this is a souvenir from Beijing, brothers, let us enter the city."

A soldier guarding the city took the letter of entering the city, unfolded it, looked at it, and then looked at the captain: "Yuan Jiajun? The emperor called him back to the defense?" He handed the letter to a person behind him, and the person took it quickly Turning around quickly, ran two quick steps, and handed the letter to a person dressed as a civil servant behind him.The man dressed as a civil servant also unfolded the letter and took a look, then nodded.

Seeing the avatar of his shop, the defenders of the city took two steps back to make way for Yuan Jiajun, as if they had been granted permission.

There were not many people left in Yuan's army, counting the wounded soldiers who had been healed, there were only a thousand or so soldiers, and they only occupied a small area in the camp of the government soldiers.After settling down some members of the Yuan family army, Yuan Xiao and Tang Yuan left separately.

Yuan Xiao wanted to go back to the Yuan Mansion, and Tang Yuan also wanted to go back to his own home.I have been away from home for a long time and haven't returned home in the past year, even if it was Chinese New Year last year, I didn't have time to come back.This time, if I pass the house again and don't enter, I'm afraid my mother will hide in the room and cry secretly.Tangyuan still thought this way when she pushed the door into the mansion, but in the end, she didn't expect that there was no one in the main hall.

Tang Yuan panicked all of a sudden, walked outside quickly and grabbed the hand of a cleaning servant and asked anxiously, "Where did the master and madam go?"

The servants of the sweeper changed a group of people at some point, and they couldn't speak smoothly. Tang Yuan didn't have the patience to listen to his stuttering, so he put down his hand and ran out the door, only to bump into Yuan Xiao who came in. .

"Yuanxiao, my father and mother..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Xiao held his hand to comfort him: "Uncle Tang and the eldest princess are fine, they are both in the palace now."

"Then why have all the servants in my family changed?" Tang Yuan asked, pointing to the rather unfamiliar house behind him.

"It was changed by the Seven Kings. They will inevitably be involved in the court battle, and the Seven Kings specially protected Tang Mansion and Yuan Mansion in order to win us over." Yuan Xiao explained this matter to him.To be honest, Yuan Xiao was also taken aback when he first came home. Fortunately, his old butler stayed at home and explained everything to him. He immediately realized that the Tang family should be the same, and came to find Tang Yuan immediately. .

Tang Yuan gradually calmed down this time, just now he was concerned about it, but now he looked at the steady steps of the replaced servants in this house, obviously they all possess martial arts.Then the move of the Seven Kings is probably not only to protect the Tang family, but also to monitor and threaten him.

He was angry in his heart, but he also knew that the Seven Kings were powerful now, not to mention threatening them with means, even if they were ordered to do something now, they would not be able to resist the order.

"Then let's go into the palace. ——Mother must be very sad to be caught between her two younger brothers' struggle for power." Tang Yuan took Yuan Xiao's hand and followed him onto the horse.

The horseshoe clacked and went straight to the palace, and was finally stopped at the gate of the palace.Horses are not allowed in the palace, Yuan Xiao handed Dahei to the inner officer, took out the emperor's imperial decree from his arms, and showed it to the guards for inspection, while Tang Yuan was waiting by the side.

Dressed in court clothes and wearing a flower feather, a figure walked past Tang Yuan with his head bowed.

"Shameless?!" Tang Yuan didn't recognize him at first, because this person was completely different from the high-spirited Yang Xiang before. It's not so much that Tang Yuan didn't recognize him as he didn't dare to recognize him.

The man's footsteps slowed down for a moment, but he didn't stop or look back, but walked a few steps faster.

"A foreigner? A foreigner? Yang Xiang!" Tang Yuan called out several times, from his nickname to his own life.As a result, instead of stopping, Yang Xiang walked faster and faster.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Xiao asked back after taking back the imperial edict.

"It's Yang Xiang, what's wrong with him? Why does it seem like he hasn't seen me when he sees me?"

Yuan Xiao raised his head and looked at Yang Xiang's back, watching Yang Xiang turn and disappear at the corner of the palace wall: "I don't know..."

Yuan Xiao said that he didn't know, but he knew in his heart that Yang Xiang had changed.Neither good nor bad, just not the same as before.After a coup d'état, he was on the right track. He went straight to the sky, and now he is actually a fifth-rank minister.But Zhou Fu was on the wrong team and became a prisoner.But he and Tang Yuan were far away in Gubei City. Although they were born and died once, they never really experienced this coup.

The four people who sat and drank in front of each other in the small city tower back then had already reached the time to part ways.

He silently tightened Tang Yuan's hand, as long as the two of them are still together.

Tang Yuan followed him into the palace, walked through a long section of the palace wall, and suddenly said: "Is it possible that you will no longer be able to drink in the small tower?"

Yuan Xiao didn't answer, but Tang Yuan seemed to have an answer, and silently tightened his hand, saying: "There is no feast that never ends."

When they arrived at the Royal Study Room, the two elders of the Tang family and General Yuan were indeed there, and with them was the Seventh Prince, who is now the Holy Majesty.

"See the emperor." The two of them saluted first, and then stood up to talk to their parents after they got permission.

"Hehe, don't you think I've done a good job in this matter? Especially my eldest nephew." The emperor was still reading the booklet behind the desk, and asked when they were reminiscing about the past.

"No. The emperor protects Caomin's father and mother, Caomin should be grateful."

"It must be blaming me," the emperor laughed, "you are still so polite when talking to my uncle."

"The emperor's lesson."

"How about this, my uncle has never given you anything, why don't you tell me what you want, and if I give it to my eldest nephew, it can be regarded as a gift to my elder sister Huang."

"Really?" Tang Yuan rolled his eyes, "Then I want Wuwei Pavilion."

"I'm afraid Pavilion Master Xie won't agree..."

"I don't want to thank the Pavilion Master's subordinates, I only want the late emperor's subordinates. They wanted me everywhere before, and I haven't settled with them yet. What we sons and daughters of Jianghu pay attention to is that there is a grievance and a debtor, and revenge for revenge."

"Then I'll give you the rest of Wuwei Pavilion's forces. There's just one thing, these people have many lives in their hands, so don't let them out alive."

"Grassmen obey the decree." Tang Yuan took a key, which was the key to the subterranean dungeon of the clan's mansion, where all the most vicious people were imprisoned.

Tang Yuan, Yuan Xiao, Tang's father, Tang's mother, old general Yuan and a group of five people bid farewell to the emperor and left the palace.

"Yuan'er, you haven't been back for almost a year." The eldest princess sighed, and Master Tang also helped, "It's almost the fifteenth day of August, isn't it almost a year?"

"Isn't this a busy year? I'll stay home with you until the New Year after August." Tang Yuan responded.

He was not impatient to deal with the family before, but after so many things happened, he still found that the family was better. Even if there was no excitement outside, there was no intrigue outside.The previous battle in the Wulin Snowfield seemed to have happened in the previous life.

"Then you're not going out?"

"Then..." Tang Yuan rubbed his nose, "I still have to go out, after all, I'm from the rivers and lakes. If I don't continue, Master will scold me too."

"Okay, children and grandchildren have their own blessings." The eldest princess sighed, stood on tiptoe and touched the top of Tang Yuan's head, "Don't forget to go home. ——Look at Xiao'er waiting for you."

Tang Yuan looked back, Yuan Xiao was standing there waiting for him, Mr. Yuan was beside him laughing, Yuan Xiao stretched out his hand, and asked with a smile: "It's better to settle the matter of Wuwei Pavilion today."

"Then I'm going?" Tang Yuan turned around and asked, only to find that the eldest princess and Master Tang had already walked a few steps together, and they turned their heads and waved to him, signaling him "Go, go".

"Let's go," he greeted Yuan Xiao, "We promised Shen Duan to hand over the Wuwei Pavilion people to him."

"Yes, I just sent someone to pass on the letter to Feige of Peach Blossom Valley. Since he made this request at the beginning, it should be because of some enmity with Wuwei Pavilion's new sect. It's better to let him deal with it."

"That's right, let's go to the clan mansion to have a look now."

"See what those prisoners are doing? How about we go to the night market to look at the lights."

"It's not Shangyuan Festival now, what kind of lights are you looking at?"

"Shangyuan Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, as long as you want to see lights, there will be." Yuan Xiao stopped and looked at him seriously, "Even if there are no lights, I can give them to you."

Whether it is Jianghu or court.
