Chapter 105 The Road Back to China
An hour later, Baigouyi on the banks of the Juma River in Xiongzhou, Hebei Road.
The only post station on the boundary of Song and Liao in Baigou Post is from Shangjing in Liao in the north to Kaifeng in the south. In front of the post station, a small river flows around the city with five colors of Hebei and flows into the Juma River. The Juma River is the boundary river of Song and Liao, the north bank is the territory of Liao, and the south bank is the Song Dynasty.
Song and Liao look across the river, and there is only a stone bridge in and out of the middle, which is known as the dry stone bridge. However, what really makes Baigouyi famous is not this ancient bridge that has experienced wind and rain or the five-color river with five-colored papy grass, but a legendary white dog guard.
It is because of this legend that Baigou has an unwritten rule that does not play the third update.
Baigouyi is more like a county than a post station. The city is high, the walls are thick, the walls are tight, and there are all kinds of horses. Not only that, there is a mountain cannon on each of the four towers, and the muzzle points directly to the camp of Liao on the north bank.
It has been a long time since Yang Huaimin came to this place in Zhixian County, less than a year. In this year, Yang Huaimin took care of Baigouyi conscientiously. He had not made any mistakes and did not attract the attention of Shangguan. After the Spring Festival, he secretly sent a few big gifts to his brothers walking in the palace, hoping that these brothers could transfer him back up and down. When I worked in Beijing, I didn't know that this gift was like a meat bun beating a dog when I went to Beijing. The mud cow entered the sea, and there was no message.
Every time he thought of this, Yang Huaimin would beat his chest and sigh that he should be like this. If he had known that, he would not have sent a hundred taels of gold, but if the gift was poured out, the recipient would not spit it out. This can only be his own fault.
After the Spring Festival, the more Yang Huaimin thought about it, the more he was, the more angry he became. He really wanted to resign and retire. However, every time he hung up the seal and was ready to leave, he suddenly found that there was something missing in his crotch. Without that thing, he was a useless person wherever he went. It was impossible to pass on the family, in that case.
Yang Huaimin cheered herself up again, saying that as long as our family is dedicated to doing things for your majesty, we believe that we can make a comeback one day. We don't believe that our family is so unlucky. The position of the head of the palace bodyguard is still ours. Wait for the turtle grandchildren, and wait for you to look good on the day Grandpa returns to Beijing.
In the afternoon, when Yang Huaimin was lying at home daydreaming, his door panel was banged and almost shook him to the ground.
Yang Huaimin scolded which turtle son had no eyes. Didn't you see your grandfather taking a nap?
As soon as the people outside the door heard that the master was angry, they quickly answered loudly, "My lord, your majesty is here. He is sending the Liao envoy back to China outside the city. Sir, do you want to see your majesty?"
Yang Huaimin was angry and suddenly heard the subordinates mention His Majesty. A carp turned over from the couch and went down to the ground. After opening the door, he grabbed the housekeeper's collar and asked fiercely, "Is I happy with your master? If your majesty comes here, the general of Sanguan should also come, and the governor who guards Hebei Road should also come. They have to inform your master before they come. Why don't I know? You said "
The housekeeper grinned with fear and replied aggrievedly, "My lord, if you don't believe me, at least you have to believe in the local soldiers and people in the city, not to mention that all the people in the city know it. My master, you will know when you go out and have a look. The county lieutenants have gone..."
"What?" Yang Huaimin was suddenly stunned. After a while, she came to her senses, "Say it again, how did your majesty get it?"
The old housekeeper wiped the sweat on his forehead and told him from beginning to end what he had learned about your majesty's coming to Baigouyi. When he finished, Yang Huaimin collapsed, fell to the ground with a buttocks, and cried, "My lord, my God, you are all playing with me. Your Majesty is here, and I'm still sleeping at home. What's wrong with this? OK..."
I don't know what's wrong with Yang Huaimin's nerves. In anger, shock and joy, he actually hugged his head and cried. Compared with the original shrewd and capable magistrate, he seemed to have become another person.
The housekeeper was confused for a while and didn't interrupt for a long time.
After saying that, Yang Huaimin of Baigou Yizhi County said that there was a big ship parked on the foreign official road of Baigouyi. This ship was not another ship but an airship taken by Renzong. After the airship came out of Bianliang, Beijing, it went all the way north. In less than two hours, it came to Beibaigouyi, Xiongzhou.
After landing, the forbidden soldiers had already lined up to escort the left and right, and then opened the door in the warehouse and let the officials inside come out.
As soon as the talents walked out of the airship, they only felt a flash in front of their eyes, and the scenery suddenly changed. Compared with the previous scenery in Beijing, it was simply a world of difference. They thought that they had come to the barren mountains in the suburbs of Beijing. When they were guessing, Zhao Xi, the commander of the bodyguard who only heard the escort, sang loudly and said, "All officials listen to the order, your majesty is here, hundreds of Officials are not allowed to make noise"
Before Zhao Xi finished his words, all the officials looked over in surprise. They saw Renzong's three-foot Tianzi sword standing by the giant horse river, looking at the vast land on the north bank of the river. They didn't know what to say. After a while, they heard Du Yan come forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Liao envoy is coming. Just tell them like this?"
Renzong nodded. After the Liao envoy Liu Liufu and Yelu Renxian came to Renzong, they bent down and bowed their heads before turning around. They asked confusedly, "Your Majesty, where is this?"
Renzong pulled out the sword of the emperor with a smile and pointed to the north bank of the river, "Let's see, where is this?"
Liu Liufu and Ye Luren looked at it like this. After the time when they could have a pot of tea, they were stunned and couldn't get together. They said to their hearts, "Is this true, or is there a demon who used a blindfold?"
Without waiting for Liu Liufu and Ye Luren to recover from the shock, Yan Shu, who was beside him, said something at the right time before pulling the two Liao envoys back to reality. There is no need to say what this sentence is. It's just that Yan Shu is really not an ordinary person. After hearing this, Liu Liufu hurriedly replied, "This matter is not a small matter. Please allow me to be subordinates. Tell my emperor and come back to discuss it. This matter and this matter can't be mastered."
Renzong nodded, "That's good. I'm in Beijing, your good news, please."
After saying that, he was no longer polite. Several forbidden soldiers took the horses of the Liao people and gave them a day of dry food before handing over their bows, arrows, knives and guns to the Liao envoy. After distributing the knives and guns, the Liao envoy said goodbye to Renzong and left. After crossing the bridge, he did not go straight to the opposite camp.
Besides, Renzong stood proudly by the river and looked at the envoys who fled back to Liao. Suddenly, he heard a burst of gunshots behind him. He thought something big had happened. He quickly called Zhao Xi, the commander of the bodyguard. Zhao Xi quickly lined up and arched his majesty. A number of important ministers of the imperial court were so scared that he didn't know it was like a clay sculpture. Run or not, just stay on the spot anyway.
After a while, he was relieved when everyone saw it clearly. He secretly scolded the county lieutenant of Bai Gouyi for being stupid, but Renzong did not blame the reckless lieutenant Ding. After meeting him, Renzong said, "I'm in a hurry. I don't blame you. Get up. I've been out for a long time. I have to Go back to the palace now"
Ding Xianwei didn't dare to say much. He was about to send Renzong off, but Renzong turned around, and three cannons sounded in Baigou Post. After these cannons, Renzong almost laughed angrily and was about to ask what was wrong with Ding Xianwei today. Even if I came here, I didn't have to fire so many cannons to welcome me.
The east gate of Baigouyi opened, and a man ran out of it. This man ran all the way to Renzong with his bare feet on his back with thorns on his back. He went up the hillside to the front. The man knelt down and fell to the ground with a snot and tears and cried, "Sinful minister Yang Huaimin, meet my emperor. May your majesty live long live."
"This" Renzong looked up and down Yang Huaimin. Seeing that he was carrying Jing Tiao, revealing his upper body and bare feet, he was suddenly confused and asked, "What's wrong with you, Yang Aiqing? I didn't say I would punish you. I came in a hurry and didn't have time to tell you in advance. Get up, I don't blame you."
"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please use this whip to flog the guilty minister," Yang Huaimin blamed himself like a sticky cake.
"Oh" Renzong shook his sleeve and suddenly remembered something. After a pot of tea, Renzong said, "Well, I don't blame you at that time. If it hadn't been for Yang Aiqing't found the clue of the forbidden military chaos in time last year, I would have suffered. But as you know, Yang Qing, the punishment for you is only temporary. Why bother? Why do you suffer like this? I know that you are guilty."
As soon as Yang Huaimin heard Renzong's words, he seemed to see a glimmer of dawn in front of him. He hurriedly kowtowed and thanked, and then brazenly pleaded, "Your Majesty has come all the way to Baigouyi. You must be tired. I dared to invite Your Majesty and all the adults in the court to Baigouyi to rest for a while, have a cup of tea, and use some snacks. The people in China are looking forward to seeing your majesty. Please make a final choice."
Renzong originally wanted to leave like this. Unexpectedly, Yang Huaimin begged for himself in front of so many people. As a son of today, he can't look at his ministers like this. Even if Yang Huaimin did not do well enough last year, he has made up for his achievements. I can trust him, so Renzong's heart is soft and promised to Baigou. He sat down for a while, met the people here, and let the people know that he knew that his majesty of the Song Dynasty was also a son who loved the people.
After saying that, Renzong will talk about Liu Liufu and Yelu Renxian.
After crossing the dry stone bridge for more than ten times, they got on the horse and went straight to the Liaoguo camp a few miles away. There was a cavalry stationed here, with about 1,000 people. They were usually divided into two teams, one patrolling outside and the other stationed inside the village.
Along the way, Liu Liu Fu's heart was full of emotions. He couldn't wait to tell Yelu Zongzhen, the great news of Emperor Xingzong of Liao, so that Ye Lv Zongzhen knew that the strong enemy of the Song Dynasty was too powerful. They needed to find a way to deal with it immediately. No matter what the way, they would go back and discuss it again.
This was Liu Liufu's idea, but Ye Luren thought about something else first, but he didn't tell Liu Liu Fu that when he arrived at the Liao State Barracks called Juma Village, Ye Lvren first said the shocking heart.
