(1/2)
Pei Yuanxiu ordered to move to Tianjin.
This order was like a spring thunder, and suddenly exploded above the head, alarming the entire earth. Soon, the first group of people in charge of relocation in the palace left.
They took away a large number of documents from the palace, and it should be said that they also had some confidential documents.
I have been in the palace for a long time before, and have experienced changes in the dynasty, the new emperor ascended the throne, and even wars and famines. I have experienced everything, but I have never experienced such major events like "moving the capital".
Even though Pei Yuanhao had appointed Xi'an Prefecture as the capital before, it was just a word. In fact, he left the capital first and stayed in Xi'an Prefecture in exile. However, this was the first time Pei Yuanxiu moved from the capital to Tianjin like this.
However, I have seen a lot in history books.
Others move, but it’s enough to move away the things in the house in a scattered manner. However, it’s not so easy for the emperor to move, and many things have to be taken away in batches.
Moreover, I wonder if Pei Yuanxiu felt anything, so he packed up a lot of important things in the palace.
Generally speaking, the first batch of documents and confidential documents were moved away.
The second batch transports some treasures, including money and grain.
During the war, these things were the most eye-catching, so Pei Yuanxiu specially sent a heavy army to escort it, but before the second group of troops set off, news came from the front.
The first group of people were robbed!
This incident was simply shocking. I sat on the couch in the inner cabinet. After hearing this news, I stayed for a long time and didn't come back to my senses.
After a while, he asked, "Really?"
Qiu'er came back to tell me the news, and she said, "I don't know either, but I heard the people in the palace say this."
“…”
I frowned.
Some people dare to rob the emperor’s things?
However, if it is a peaceful and prosperous era, there is no courage, because once someone touches the emperor's things, the whole world will naturally have to fight and punish it together.
But now, the whole world is in chaos, and the powerful and powerful gentry in various places that Pei Yuanxiu relies on are also causing headaches for the rising civil unrest in their area. How can there be room for this?
Some people are bold.
I frowned and thought for a long time, and asked, "Then, what did those thieves rob?"
Qiu'er said, "I heard that he had robbed some documents."
Lu'er next to her said in surprise: "What's the use of robbing those things? Will it be a pile of waste paper soon?"
Qiu'er also said: "I also find it strange. Several father-in-laws all find it strange. I heard that the group of people who set out today transported it is the important thing. What did they rob some documents to do? They can't eat or drink."
I sat quietly on the couch and didn't say anything for a while.
The two of them talked for a long time, and when they saw me not saying a word, they asked me in a low voice: "Miss Yan, what are you thinking?"
I suddenly came to my senses, shook my head quickly, but asked again, "Have you set off today's group of people?"
"I heard that I was going to leave in the morning, but after the news came, it was suspended."
"Are you not leaving?"
"Not that, I heard that I just need to send additional staff."
"oh……"
I nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
At night, news came back, saying that the second group of people had set off.
This time, everyone's nerves were tense. After all, the transport of money is all about money. This is the most noticeable and coveted by many people in such a chaotic world.
On the next day, there was no news.
On the third day, the news came back and the group of people had arrived in Tianjin safely.
Although it is a good thing to arrive safely, everyone is actually a little surprised - the team transporting gold, silver and soft materials were not robbed, but the team transporting documents was robbed instead.
Could it be that the thieves made it wrong?
But no matter what, it is certainly a good thing if nothing happens.
This way, the palace became much empty.
Pei Yuanxiu didn't allow me to go out.
Because of the previous time, Lu'er fell to the ground and I fell into the ice lake. Although Qiu'er, who had rushed back with her clothes, saw it, she had no choice but to be alone. Fortunately, she called the passing people to rescue me. If such a thing happened again, there would be so fewer people in the palace, so I was afraid that there would be no chance to ask for help.
So, I can only stay in the inner cabinet every day.
Pei Yuanxiu has very little time to come to the inner cabinet.
Since he said those words to him in the hall that day, he hasn't been here again for a long time. I don't know what he feels about the words he said to me, or what plans he has for his future path.
But things are still going down step by step.
By the fifth day, the things in the palace had almost been moved away. Next, we were the third group of people.
However, the weather was not very good on the day of departure.
It has been a good weather for many days before. Although the sun is not enough to melt the ice and snow, it also has a warm feeling when shining on your body, making people feel that spring is coming.
But on this day, there was an inch of late spring.
The dark clouds pressed against the top, as thick as if they were about to crush the entire sky. The entire imperial city was shrouded in a gloomy sky. The wind was very fast, and even light snow began to float in the wind.
Generally speaking, if the court makes any major moves, this kind of weather will be regarded as an ominous sign.
So, before I set off, I heard that a group of ministers had knelt down in front of Pei Yuanxiu and advised him to defend the capital no matter what, and transfer the previous group of troops back from Tianjin, but Pei Yuanxiu did not agree.
After Chen, the weather still did not improve, and we should set off.
The clothes were very thick, Qiu'er and Lu'er even put on a thick fox fur for me, but when they went out, they were still shivering by the wind and snow that was coming towards me.
They helped me all the way out.
The palace is much quieter than before. I have felt it in the inner cabinet these days, but when I walk out, I can feel the silence more. I can hardly hear other sounds except the sound of the wind.
After a while, the person who came to pick us up arrived.
Keep walking forward, I realized that this road leads to Nangong Gate, because I have really walked it many times over the years.
Before I could get there, I could hear the noisy sounds ahead.
The voices are noisy and I can't hear them clearly, but I can still hear them occasionally or a few cursed words.
After turning a corner, I walked in front of them.
And at this time, all the sounds became quiet.
It seemed like someone was controlling it, and no one spoke again, but I could feel everyone's eyes staring at me. On such a cold and cloudy day, those eyes were imprinted on me like a soldering iron.
Some people may even wish to see a hole through me.
I have fallen into the ice lake once, and these little things are not that important to me. I walked forward calmly and slowly. However, Lu'er and Qiu'er around me are a little nervous, and their hands holding my arms are trembling slightly unconsciously.
Someone next to him whispered: "It's her."
"It's really like a monster."
"I don't know what the emperor is looking at."
These "whispers" were not loud, and they were just enough to reach my ears, which made me hear clearly, and I faced the curses calmly afterwards.
After standing still, I turned to Qiuer and the others and asked, "Where is the emperor?"
All the people around me were paying attention to my every move. Even if I said a word, I could feel countless eyes looking at me.
Qiu'er whispered: "The Emperor and the Empress have already gotten on the car."
"oh……"
In other words, these people are all preparing to set out.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the front, and a little eunuch ran to us panting and said, "Ms. Yan."
I turned to him and said, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, please come over."
“…”
When I said this, there were already some people around me, but at this time they all became quiet.
Although I was calm, Qiu'er and the others could not stand it anymore. When they heard the emperor call me over, they hurriedly helped me walk forward. I couldn't see it, and I only felt that I could pass through the crowd and soon, I walked to the stairs.
In front of me, the sound of a horse snorting and snorting sound came.
It's a carriage.
The little eunuch said, "Please get in the car with Miss Yan."
My eyes couldn't see, so it was more difficult to get on the carriage, especially wearing thick fur clothes. Even if they were supporting them, they got on the carriage in a clumsy and ugly posture.
But when I entered the carriage and when the curtain was lowered, I frowned.
Pei Yuanxiu's voice came from the carriage: "Is it cold?"
