spend time

Five days later, three young people from Zhongshushe left Beijing for a long journey and began an important journey in their lives.

As an imperial envoy, he has a calm veteran as his deputy imperial envoy, and is accompanied by a thousand elite imperial soldiers. Hundreds of carriages were filled with the accompanying baggage and grain, stretching like a long snake.

The Ministry of Revenue did not complain that the treasury was empty. Minister Ji signed and sealed the list sent by the Ministry of War without saying a word.

Firstly, it is urgent to provide relief and support to the victims. Secondly, the status of these three teams of imperial envoys is of great importance. Needless to say, the emperor valued trust, and even for the sake of Prime Minister An Guogong Li Shangshu, he had to squeeze out food, grass and luggage from the extremely nervous treasury.

In addition to the Royal Forest Army, there are also soldiers from the Wang family, the Zheng family, and the Li family in the team. The numbers were not too large. Wang Jin brought a hundred soldiers, and Zheng Chen and Li Boyuan each brought fifty soldiers.

These soldiers are all loyal and reliable masters. They have only one mission, which is to stay with their masters all day long and protect their masters' safety. If they encounter a critical situation, they will use their own flesh and blood as the last shield to stand in front of their master.

This is all an obvious arrangement. As for whether there are any secret guards accompanying him for protection in private, it is unknown.

"Let's go north together," Li Boyuan said enthusiastically, "I've calculated that we can stay together for at least seven or eight days before we go our separate ways."

The three counties affected by the locust plague are all in the north. These three teams of imperial envoys can indeed travel together for several days.

Zheng Chen's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "Yan County is the farthest. I want to speed up and get to Yan County as soon as possible. There is food, grass and baggage, and the forward speed is too slow. Therefore, tomorrow I plan to take half of the people, and the fast horse will go first. ”

After hearing this, Li Boyuan was not only not afraid, but his blood surged up, and he immediately said: "Then I will be like you, ride a fast horse and go one step ahead."

As for Wang Jin, his body was not weak, but he could not help but gallop around for several days, so he could only listen silently.

The next day, Zheng Chen led the 500 imperial guards on horseback. Li Boyuan was knowledgeable and led half of the troops to leave first.

Only the Fourth Young Master Wang, who was as gentle as jade, sat in the carriage and moved forward slowly.

Wang Silang, who grew up in a splendid city with rich clothes and fine food, stepped out of the capital for the first time in his life and led a serious errand, and his heart inevitably surged with passion.

However, once the novelty wears off, the journey becomes long and boring. Fortunately, the deputy imperial envoy Tan Langzhong who accompanied him was easy-going and considerate, and he sat in the carriage with Wang Jin every day. Talking about the past and present, storytelling and poetry, folk customs, official anecdotes, history of the past and present, and so on.

This Hubutan doctor is also a die-hard Prime Minister's party. Prime Minister Wang specially arranged a team of Tan Langzhong and Wang Jin, with the experienced Tan Langzhong accompanying him. Even if Wang Jin knew nothing, everything would be arranged properly. Wang Jin can just wait until the errand is done to receive the credit.

However, Wang Jin is by no means the person waiting to enjoy the success. He made a lot of preparations before leaving Beijing. On the way, he discussed with Tan Langzhong from time to time how to provide relief and how to put out the locust plague.

Tanlang couldn't help but secretly admire him. As expected of the beloved son who was personally taught by Prime Minister Wang, Wang Jin is calm and clear-headed, thinks carefully and thoughtfully, and the solutions he proposes are practical and feasible.

In time, the Fourth Young Master Wang will become a great weapon.

At night, everyone stayed in the post house. After traveling for several days, Wang Jin felt that all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. He lay on the bed, exhausted, but not sleepy. A condensed and beautiful girl's face quietly appeared in front of her eyes.

Sometimes he is cold and stern, sometimes he frowns, sometimes he smiles.

Wang Jin turned over to the inside. That face did not fade away, but became more clear, with clear eyes looking at him steadily...

Wang Jin turned over again, lying flat on the bed, staring blankly at the tent ceiling. He didn't know what he thought of, but his Qingjun face suddenly showed pain. …

On the same night, Zheng Chen, who had traveled three hundred miles further than Wang Jin, was also tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

The things he was thinking about in his mind were much more complicated and complicated than Wang Jin's, and they were also much more cruel and sober.

Jiang Shaohua knew what would happen more than a year later, so he naturally knew better. In fact, after the death of the new emperor in the previous life, Empress Dowager Zheng purged the Gaoliang Prince's Palace and Dongping Prince's Palace in a rage. It was he who led the people to seal the two palaces and sent the Gaoliang Prince and his son to the heavenly prison. He also personally escorted Prince Dongping and his son to the capital.

Afterwards, Empress Dowager Zheng supported the young second prince to ascend the throne. Jiang Shaohua married into the Wang family. He married a daughter of the Fan family and stabilized the court through marriage.

After Prime Minister Wang died of illness, he rose up in the power struggle in the court and became the youngest prime minister in the history of Daliang within a few years.

The chaos in the beams continued, cutting off a small half of the country. The emperor with low intelligence and slow reaction was like a puppet on the dragon throne. He, the prime minister of the beams, was the actual person in power.

Drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman, he wakes up and holds the power of the world. In the first half of his life, his only major setback was that he could not marry the woman he loved.

In this life of rebirth, in order to get to the top as quickly as possible, he secretly added fuel to the fire. Unexpectedly, chaos broke out in Pingzhou first, and the imperial army was still unable to put it down. The rebellion in Pingzhou actually became more and more powerful.

And Jiang Shaohua...

Thinking of the girl standing proudly in the court, Zheng Chen frowned even more tightly.

What does she want?
Does she really want to stay in Nanyang County?

She entered the court with a strong appearance, had a place beside the emperor, and became a celebrity in Jingyang Palace. Even the young and ignorant second prince was particularly attached to her. How could Jiang Shaohua like this not have ambitions for power in the court?
Also, Prince Gaoliang and his son will secretly conspire to assassinate the emperor. How should he deal with it? Revealing secrets in advance to save Jiang Song's life in exchange for more trust and political capital? Or should we just pretend we don’t know and wait for everything to go as it did in the previous life?

How would Jiang Shaohua choose?

I only slept less than two hours a night. Fortunately, I am young and energetic, so it doesn't hurt to stay up late occasionally. Early the next morning, the young master appeared in front of everyone and said in high spirits: "We are only a third of the way. From today on, we will travel an additional twenty miles every day. If we go faster, we will try to reach Yan County as soon as possible." "

All the elite soldiers agreed unanimously.

The personal soldiers commanded Peng Sihai and followed his master on horseback. While taking a break to eat solid food at noon, Peng Sihai quietly came over and whispered: "My young master, would you like to take a detour and pass by Nanyang County."

According to the current route, there is no need to pass through Nanyang County. To get to Nanyang County, we have to take a detour, which will probably take an extra day.

Zheng Chen shook his head without thinking: "No need, just follow the original route."

Jiang Shaohua is still in the capital. Without Jiang Shaohua, what is there to see in Nanyang County?
