rebirth [rebirth]

After a while, Rong Jingxuan heard someone exclaim: "Lord Ouyang is back."

Everyone at the scene was shocked, and when Ouyang Mo Shuxing turned over and jumped down in front of the city gate, more than a hundred people's eyes were fixed on him.

It was the first time for Ouyang Moshu to see such a big scene, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. The imperial decree in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties. He didn't dare to read it out by himself, so he directly held it to Han Bin with both hands.

"My lord, there is a decree in the Holy Spirit, please read it."

Han Bin glanced at him, took it with both hands very respectfully, and then slowly opened it.

Because of the tight schedule, this imperial decree was directly written on the memorial.

Chen Shengzhi was born as a farmer, so being able to read is good enough, but writing is even more difficult.Nowadays, all orders from the higher authorities are written by the newly established Zhongshu Order.

This one is also from the top two ranks of Jinshi, and the first-hand pavilion is upright and clean, with a vague elegance.

After reading it in a hurry, Han Bin felt relieved when he saw that Chen Shengzhi really didn't worry too much about this matter.

He took a deep breath, and said loudly: "There is a decree from the Holy Spirit, since gentlemen have come here for the funeral, there is no need to kneel down."

This hand is beautifully done.

Even Rong Jingxuan had to look at Chen Shengzhi with admiration.

Anyway, he couldn't see whether these people were kneeling or not, so he might as well take advantage of this moment to fight for their hearts.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, the faces of the scholars present all eased, and they no longer frown.

Rong Jingxuan has always been very open-minded.As a former emperor who was fleeing for his life, he was carrying the lives of his loved ones on his back, and he refused to relax easily, so he looked down on the former glory and wealth.

To this day, seeing Chen Shengzhi win the hearts of the people with a single sentence, he can't help feeling a little bit emotional.

He was born a noble person, with fine clothes and food, and all that he saw was gorgeous, even if he had to learn the ways of the people to make a living in the way of an emperor, he actually didn't have any more feelings.

Ever since he was a child, he has been determined to be a good prince and emperor, but what exactly is a good emperor?

At that time, he only wanted to let the people have enough to eat, have clothes to wear, a harmonious family, and no disease or disaster.But later, he found that he couldn't do it by himself. Natural disasters and man-made disasters, all kinds of things always happen.After a short period of depression, he regained his strength, thinking that as long as the officials are strictly controlled, at least the people can live in peace.

But this also seems impossible.

Da Chu has a vast territory and many officials. Whether it is a ninth-rank sesame official or a first-rank minister, although they are all from the imperial examination, there may be only a few people who can really be honest and upright.

Rong Jingxuan was young at that time, this realization made him toss and turn, and kept him awake at night.

Later, he gradually grew up, began to go to court, came into contact with more things, and read tens of thousands of memorials.

At that time, he gradually realized that some things cannot be guarded against, and some people seem to have shortcomings, but they are very suitable for that position.What he has to do is to put the right person in the right position and play a role with his unique characteristics.

Subconsciously, he was still unwilling to admit that he was not a good prince.

He has only been emperor for three days, and he hardly has the consciousness that he has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, but he has been a prince for more than ten years. The sense of urgency and pressure of being a prince is always with him, which he always remembers in his heart.

But at this moment, when he saw that Chen Shengzhi had captured the hearts of the people with just one sentence, he had to sigh.Although he didn't have extensive knowledge, he could hardly write well. He even spent the first few decades of his life farming in the village, or occasionally went to the town to help.

It was such a person who lost his family because of a natural disaster, and then he rose up and became the emperor in just two years.

Rong Jingxuan couldn't help being a little puzzled, what exactly is popular opinion?

But at this time, no one could give him an answer.

He just vaguely saw a tiny bit of light, and that light would slowly ferment in the bottom of his heart, eventually turning into a sea of ​​stars.

Han Bin was still reading the imperial decree.

Although it was rather hasty, what should be said and the meaning that must be expressed, Chen Shengzhi still clearly reflected in this not too long imperial edict.

"...Although Chen Chuli is here, he must keep the peace of Yong'an. The nine gates are closed to prevent the chaos from entering the city and committing crimes. Gu Xianxue was an important minister of Chen Dongliang. He was knowledgeable and talented. His death made me very sad." Grief. Today, more than a hundred students came to the funeral, and I am deeply impressed. Throughout the ages, scholars and students are the foundation of the country, and I am very pleased that you can have such courage and grand vision."

What you said is simply blowing people to the sky.Moreover, these words must not have been said by Chen Shengzhi, who has never read the book, but must have been polished by Zhongshu Ling.

But watching the expressions of the scholars at the funeral, they knew that what they said was just right.

Everyone knows that Chen Shengzhi has never read a book, but now he is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, the lord of the world, it is only appropriate for him to praise the scholar and student.

Sure enough, the expressions of the scholars present softened when they heard this.

Rong Jingxuan couldn't help sighing that most people read books in this world are scholars, but they are also scholars who are best fooled.

Just a simple sentence can make them smile and put down their grudges.

Han Bin continued: "However, it's dangerous outside the city. You are all talented people. I really can't bear to lose anything. After thinking about it, I can only let the descendants of the Gu family go out of Beijing, and then be escorted to their hometown Fengcheng by my own soldiers. Only then can you feel at ease."

Chen Shengzhi's decision was also under consideration by Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze.

After all, if only the Gu family had a funeral, Chen Shengzhi might use other excuses to trap them in the city. Now that so many scholars and students came, Chen Shengzhi would never be able to offend anyone again this time.

The best way is to give a sweet date a stick.

First of all, praise the scholars to the sky, and then say that the outside world is not peaceful, if you are so important, don't go there.In the end, I also admire Gu Xuezheng. It makes sense for him to be buried in his hometown, and his family will be escorted out of the city by his own soldiers so that he can feel at ease.

In this way, the face is also gained, and the lining is also occupied. As for what it will be like after leaving the city, it is hard for anyone to say.

In the end, Chen Shengzhi made the final decision: "Leader Li Mian of the Zhanhua Gate selected ten elite soldiers to escort Gu's family out of Beijing."

After saying this, not only the Gu family, Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze breathed a sigh of relief, but even Han Bin also breathed a sigh of relief.

On this point, they thought the same as Chen Shengzhi, as long as they could leave the city, everything would be fine.

After the imperial decree was issued, the scholars who came to the funeral only struggled for a moment, then they all came to say goodbye to Gu Guangbo, and stepped aside.The rest of the funeral attendants were also unable to leave the capital, so Gu Guangbo had no choice but to rearrange his servants to replace the original supporters.

Gu Zhenli did not have a title during his lifetime, and his title of Duke of Li was posthumously conferred by Chen Shengzhi after his death.

For the Gu family, the title of duke of the country was obtained by Gu Zhenli's life, and they didn't care at all, and even a little disgusted.

It is said to carry the coffin, but in fact there are four-wheeled carts under the big coffin, so after the 62 supporters except Rong Jingxuan and Xie Mingze were replaced, the six who replaced them could quickly push the coffin pole easily .

Rong Jingxuan glanced at the back lightly, and sure enough, he saw Ning Yuanshi and Zhong Qi mixed in the team of spirit helpers.

Although the Gu family used to be a high-end mansion, in fact there were not many servants. When they left Beijing this time, except for the children brought by their hometown, the rest were dismissed.

After the team settled down, at first glance, there were no more than twenty people.

This includes the current head of the family, Gu Guangbo, his wife, Mrs. Su, and the four young children. Li Fang was a little worried at first, but now that there are only scholars, women and children left in the Gu family, he heaves a sigh of relief. A group of people who had only surrendered at the root, let them go out of Beijing with the Gu family.

Even if the Holy Majesty ordered to follow the elite soldiers, but his own people had just come over in the shadow of swords and swords, and he hadn't enjoyed Qingfu for a few days, and he felt distressed if he gave up any one of them, so naturally he would not send them out.

Han Bin lived in Chengmenlouzi for a month, so he knew the situation of Li Jiajun long ago, so he didn't say a word when he saw such a team sent by him.

His attitude, in Li Mian's view, was showing favor to him.

Everything was ready, and amidst a high-pitched singing and drinking, the Zhanhua Gate, which had been closed for more than a hundred days, finally opened.

Zhanhua Gate is the gate of the nine gates of Yong'an. The opening is very deep. There are two tall gates with a thickness of more than one foot in the front and back. The gates are all made of gold nails, symbolizing the status of Yong'an Imperial Capital.

The first to be opened was naturally the inner city gate.

It was cold and wet in the snow, and there was a harsh "creaking" sound when the city gate opened, but the Gu family members all had solemn expressions, as if no one heard it.

Finally, the inner city gate was fully opened.

Han Bin and Li Mian stepped forward and handed over to Gu Guangbo.

Li Fang first said: "Mr. Gu has a safe journey, and I hope to return to his hometown soon."

He is a big bastard, it is not easy to say such a thing, Gu Guangbo didn't know him at all, so he cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, General Li."

Li Fang cupped his hands in return, and took two steps back. Han Bin stepped forward and said, "It's a long way to Fengcheng. Brother Gu and his sister-in-law are all safe and well. Let's say goodbye. I don't know when I will see you again. I hope that the whole family will be safe and happy from now on." , in good health."

After he finished speaking, he saluted them seriously.

Gu Guangbo also hurried back, but this time his words were much more sincere: "This time I can go back to my hometown, thank you Master Han for your kindness, Gu and the whole family are very grateful, if we can meet again in the future, I will definitely thank you again."

After he finished speaking, Han Bin froze, and then he bent even deeper: "Bon voyage."

After Han Bin's voice fell, the Gu family's team walked slowly.

There were few people this time, except for the big coffin and several carriages that followed, they all entered the city gate in a short time.

Rong Jingxuan glanced back silently, and saw the vermilion gate slowly closing behind them, and the ever-blossoming Yong'an also disappeared from their eyes, followed by darkness.

The soldiers escorting them lit the torches on the door opening, and a group of more than thirty people soon came to the outer city gate.

He vaguely heard someone shouting orders from outside, and only heard some huge roller slowly moving.

Outside, another piece of blue sky slowly appeared in front of everyone.

Rong Jingxuan took a deep breath, he and Xie Mingze exchanged glances, and they left Yong'an steadily together.

Among Yong'an, the oldest little beggar touched his stuffed belly, but was suddenly stabbed by something sharp.

He turned away slightly, and secretly looked into the broken belt that had been wrapped several times - a piece of broken silver the size of a quail egg lay quietly there.

On the five humps of Qingzhi Mountain in Chongning City, a Taoist priest wearing an azure Taoist robe is looking up at the sky.

It had just rained in the mountains, and the tall pine tree next to the Taoist priest was also covered with rainwater. A gust of wind blew by, and round water droplets were lifted from the pine needles and fell on the Taoist priest's thin shoulders.

A ten-year-old Taoist boy was running up the mountain, yelling: "Master, master, you are lazy and did not chop firewood, and the master is scolding you!"

The young Taoist turned his head and saw his white face and oval face, a pair of black eyebrows slender into his temples, his eyes were so light that they almost merged with the sky above his head.

With this appearance and overall style alone, he is also very immortal.

He watched the young Taoist boy walk up to him panting, bent down and wiped his sweat with his sleeve: "Qinghui, I am watching the sky as a teacher."

After hearing his words, Qinghui looked up at the sky very curiously, and after looking at it for a long time, she asked, "Master, what did you see?"

The young Taoist smiled slightly, and his whole body looked alive, as if a lotus flower was about to bloom.
