Chapter 200 Ten Spice Ribs
The little beggar took the money and left.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at the door of Huiping's pawnshop, thought for a while, then turned and left.

There are many things to be busy today, and Huiping's pawn shop is the first one to do, but in the current situation, Huiping's pawnshop has nothing to do.

According to what he heard in the past few days, Zhao Xi would still stay in Peifeng, but Tao Yinhe and Zhu Pei had already rushed to the capital, either today or tomorrow.

Xia Zhaoyi calculated these days, how much troops the imperial court still had left, and also went to find out about taxes and military service, and found that Emperor Xuanyan's situation might be even worse than she thought.

This time Tao Yinhe and Zhu Pei came back, on the one hand to settle the wounded and deal with the burials of the soldiers who died in battle, and to provide for their families. On the other hand, the court dispatched Gu Lu's army to Peifeng to defend the city and counterattack.

Tian Dayao couldn't ignore it, and Song Zhiyi couldn't relax. At the same time, rebel turmoil broke out frequently in various places. Although the rebel army formed by these refugees was not as deep-rooted as Tian Dayao and Song Zhiyi, they gathered and developed very fast, and turmoil broke out. The dense crowd definitely made Emperor Xuanyan more disturbed than Tian Dayao and Song Zhiyi.

Apart from these, there is still the Northern Yuan army in the north, and it is inevitable for them to go south when winter comes.

But for Emperor Xuanyan, there should be another worry in his heart, that is, these aristocratic families in the capital.

It is said that their hearts are towards Emperor Xuanyan, not to mention Emperor Xuanyan, even they themselves don't believe it, each family has its own plan, once the Li family's country is in danger, it will be just a blink of an eye for them to abandon the Li family.

Here, it seems that the Guo family of Drunk Deer is more dangerous. The Guo family is one of the best in the world, but there is only one small house in the capital as a place to stay. Although the Guo family has good relations with many officials, they are particularly unwilling to participate in any government affairs. It is also because their power is all outside, and Emperor Xuanyan is not so easy to control, so Emperor Xuanyan will definitely be in the Guo family Work hard on yourself.

This time, the Guo family put in a lot of effort to seal the relief, and Xia Zhaoyi had already heard that Emperor Xuanyan was going to reward the Guo family.

And this reward may not be the "reward" that the Guo family wants.

Is the Guo family short of money?No shortage.

What is missing?official position.

After all, the biggest official position in the Guo family today is Guo Shu's second son, Guo Zhaohai, who is only the governor of Jiangzhou.

Xia Zhaoyi even thought about what to say for Emperor Xuanyan: If this is the case, then I will reward you as a Beijing official for doing a good job, and come to take office today, and you must not resist the order, otherwise you will not give me the face of being an emperor .

With Dagan not completely overthrown, few people are willing to directly oppose Emperor Xuanyan, right? The imperial court is not very capable of dealing with rebels and bandits, but dealing with such an aristocratic family requires a well-sharpened knife.Of course, it is also possible to completely force the Guo family to rebel, but the possibility of this is relatively small. After all, rebellion is too tiring and hard work, and it is thankless.

Dealing with the Guo family is just one step that Emperor Xuanyan wants to do. There are many things that are more troublesome than the Guo family.

Thinking casually in her mind, Xia Zhaoyi walked towards the city gate. It was too far away from the city gate, at least half an hour away, but she suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance under her nose.

Xia Zhaoyi stopped in his tracks, his nose sore from the aroma.

She raised her eyes to look forward, and unknowingly walked to the front of Fangchen Building, and this familiar scent was her favorite ten-spice pork ribs in the past.

When returning to Beijing before, the second elder brother would always lead her around, looking for food and drink. There are two of her favorites, one is the very delicious Baihua Cake, and the other is the Shixiang pork ribs here.

This time when she returned to Beijing, she was busy running around, so she almost never came here. Now that she smelled this smell inadvertently, Xia Zhaoyi's eyes turned slightly red in an instant, thinking of her second brother very much.

At this moment, a young man walked out of the door, wearing a long gown in green, with emerald jade hanging from his waist, holding packed food wrapped in oiled paper and a plate, and walked towards the other side.

Xia Zhaoyi's head buzzed, and his gaze was fixed on the thin and tall young man's back.

The man walked slowly, his steps relaxed and unhurried, his appearance and posture almost overlapped with the person in his memory.

Xia Zhaoyi's heart skipped a beat, and he ran up.

"Wait!" Xia Zhaoyi yelled.

Looking back, the man saw a handsome but completely unfamiliar face.

"What are you doing?" The man looked at the boy strangely.

Some passers-by also looked over curiously.

Xia Zhaoyi raised his eyes, paused, and said, "I'm sorry, I mistook someone."

The man nodded, looked her up and down, turned and left.

Xia Zhaoyi's heartbeat was still a little chaotic, she rarely lost her composure like this, but at that moment just now, she was so violently emotional that she almost forgot who she was.

At this time, another young man walked out of the door, wearing a dark cloth shirt, with slightly thick arms, looking very strong, also holding packed food wrapped in greased paper and a plate in his hand.

He looked at the back of the boy parked here, turned around and walked in the other direction.

A simple carriage was parked at the corner of the street. The man got on the carriage and handed the things in his hand to the young man sitting in the carriage: "Your Majesty."

The boy was only 16 years old, wearing a high-quality brown brocade jacket, with a vigorous look, starry eyes, and white and smooth skin. After receiving the ribs handed over, his slender fingers were about to cover them.

"Boil it carefully." The man beside him hurriedly said.

"Yeah," the boy nodded, covering it with his palm, and said, "It's better if it's hot."

"Where are you going now?" the man asked again.

The young man put aside the spare ribs in his hand, and said, "Either go to Hegui Lake or Biexianyuan, let the coachman go according to his mood."

"Okay." The man nodded.

The carriage drove out from the corner and ran towards the road where Xia Zhaoyi came.

………………

Not all of the 26 city gates in the capital are closed tightly, and seven of them are still passable, but the inspection is very strict.

There were very few people coming in and out outside the city gate. Compared with the long queue in the past, it was too depressed.

At the end of the day, a column of horses walked on the empty and spacious avenue, walking towards the city gate.

Several city guards stepped forward, and the burly man at the front of the cavalry jumped off his horse, took out the letter and brochures in his arms, and was about to speak, when the city gate on the city wall suddenly said loudly: "The visitor is the Shen family of Yunliang. Son?"

Dai Yu paused, raised his head to look at the city wall, and shouted, "Exactly."

Chengmen Lang raised his hands and cupped his fists, and arched far away casually, and then said to the guards below the tower: "Let go."

"Yes." A few city guards responded, and then turned back without further questioning.

Like Dai Yu, Du Xuan and Feng Ze raised their heads to look at the gatekeeper, feeling strange in their hearts.

However, this is the capital, they didn't ask much, and they didn't want to stay here any longer, so they entered the city.

　Happy National Day everyone~~!
