Chapter 778 The Capital
Yue Yang's injury was heavier than Xiao Ren, and it was almost healed at this time, but he was still unable to play with swords and swords.
When he heard that Xiao Ren was going to Beijing to fight for the front station, he went to find Zhou Zheng and asked Zhou Zheng to tell the King of Qin for him that he would also go to the capital.
As soon as I entered the yard, I saw a basket on the ground, sprinkled with grains, and a group of sparrows were eating grains. Zhou Cheng hid beside him, waiting for the sparrows to eat happily, so he put down the basket and caught the sparrow.
Yueyang suddenly came in, and the sparrows flew away in one go.
Boss Zhou Cheng was unhappy, and Yue Yang asked, "You boy, are you eating the greedy sparrow?"
"No, my uncle wants to eat roasted birds. None of the people around her can catch birds." Zhou Cheng said.
Yueyang didn't know what to say for a moment, so he ignored him and asked the eunuch to communicate with him and went in to see Zhou Zheng.
Zhou Zheng immediately agreed and said with a smile: "As long as you can hold on, then follow Xiaoqi. By the way, you can say to Zhou Zilong and say that Zhou Cheng is here with me, so he can rest assured."
Yue Yang didn't expect that this matter would be so smooth. Seeing Zhou Zheng's pride and couldn't help it, he asked, "Is there anything happy about it?"
Zhou Zheng's smile became even stronger and he said, "Of course, I'll be..."
Before he could finish his words, an eunuch coughed dryly, and Zhou Zheng immediately swallowed the words behind him and said with a smile: "Of course I'm happy. Can you be unhappy if you can enter Beijing so soon?"
Yue Yang felt that there must be something else, but judging from Zhou Zheng's appearance, he would not tell the truth today.
When he left the yard, he saw Zhou Cheng finally caught two sparrows. The maid put them in a cloth bag and took them to the kitchen.
Yue Yang found it funny and asked Zhou Cheng: "I only caught two, but they were not enough to get stuck in my teeth. Are you lazy, right?"
Zhou Cheng touched the back of his head and said, "Isn't this a national mourning? There is no meat to eat. Grandma Fang said that two are enough, so she won't let her eat more."
It is a national mourning taboo to slaughter, so catching birds is not considered slaughter? Yueyang couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he simply didn't want to.
Yue Yang shook his head and asked, "I'm going to the capital. The third young master asked me to bring a letter to your house. Do you have any letter to me and take it with me?"
Zhou Cheng said: "No, my father and mother must have beaten me again when they see me. Just tell them, I'm not dead."
Two days later, Xiao Ren and Yue Yang led 5,000 elite troops to enter the capital first.
The second, fourth and fifth brothers of the Xiao family went out of the city together. Xiao Ren had a little impression of the second son of Xiao. The other two were not familiar with each other. After introducing each other, Xiao Ren asked, "Is uncle okay? Why are you here?"
The smile on Xiao Er's face was curled away, and he solemnly said, "Father is fine, it was him who told us to come and pick you up. He asked us to accompany you into the city."
In the flash of lightning, Xiao Ren understood.
He looked at the city gate not far away, where his father's head was once hanging high.
That year, he hid in Zhou Zheng's carriage. Although the eunuchs did not let them stick their heads out, the two of them went to see them quietly...
Xiao Er stepped forward, patted Xiao Ren on the shoulder, and said, "Xiao Qi, don't be afraid, brothers are all here!"
The seven brothers of the Xiao family, except for Xiao Yi who is still in Baoding Prefecture, and Xiao Laosan who just came to Baoding Prefecture to discuss marriage yesterday, as well as Xiao Liu who is in Xi'an, are all here.
This city gate is a sword and a hurdle that lies in the hearts of the Xiao family. Today, they walked over to each other.
That night, Xiao Ren wrote to Zhou Tong, in which he wrote: My father would be relieved if he was in the dark.
...
Like the last time, Emperor Chongwen's coffin was parked in the Shouhuang Palace of Meiqingshan. It can only be officially buried after the imperial tomb is completed.
The civil and military palaces and the people are forbidden to sing silk and bamboo music within a hundred days, slaughter is forbidden to slaughter within 77 to 49 days, and marriage is forbidden to ban marriage within one month. The major temples and Taoist temples in the capital are 30,000 bells, and Daxiangguo Temple is used as a royal temple. Ninety-nine-eighty-one monks chant scriptures to the Emperor Daxing on the Coal Mountain.
When Xiao Ren entered Beijing this time, in addition to his own people, Zhou Tong assigned him twenty other Tartar soldiers, including Lao Ke, his two apprentices, Dahua and Ersan.
The three masters and apprentices of Lao Ke arrived in the capital two days earlier than Xiao Ren. Xiao Ren had just settled down after entering Beijing. Xiao Lizi came in and reported: "Seventh Young Master, Lao Ke is here."
Lao Ke was wearing coarse cloth clothes and a dry tobacco rod inserted on his waist. He looked like a person from the countryside to make a living in the capital.
"Seventh Young Master, the Sutra Library of Daxiangguo Temple cannot get into it, but Ersan and Dahua went to Meiqingshan. Thanks to the help of Marquis Li, they were mixed in Feiyuwei stationed in Meiqingshan. The eighty-one monks sent by Daxiangguo Temple to confirm one by one, and there was no pair of masters and apprentices mentioned by Miss Tong."
The pair of masters and apprentices Zhou Tong mentioned were the two monks who appeared in the Shouhuang Palace when Emperor Chongwen pretended to die last time. The younger one also dug out the fake Yang Jincheng's head and placed it on the altar.
Because the young monk among them had no incense scars, he happened to be able to match the person Dingpin said.
"No?" Xiao Ren asked.
"I'm sure, and the monks who went there this time, whether the old monk or the young monk, had all the snatch scars. The old man came here just to ask the Qi Shao to ask if he should stare at Mei Qingshan?" Lao Ke said.
Xiao Ren thought for a moment and said, "Daxiangguo Temple should not be aware of it. Withdraw Dahua and Ersan. You three are walking around the capital to see if there is anything suspicious. I will ask Feiyuwei to give you a copy of the situation of the True Immortal Sect they currently possess in the capital."
After Lao Ke left, Xiao Ren thought for a while and said to Xiao Lizi: "You send me a post to Zongren Ling for me, and I said I want to visit him."
The next day, when Xiaolizi went to the royal camp, she happened to meet Baoping, a servant from Yueyang.
Baoping went to Zhou Zilong's house. Zhou Zilong was not at home, and all the men in the family were not there. Mrs. Zhou had just quarreled with her sister-in-law and was cursing the streets in the house. The maid ran in: "Master, someone outside asked to see the old master, saying that it was sent by General Yue, a general under the Prince of Qin, who would bring a message to the old master for the third master."
Mrs. Zhou did not name these people clearly for a while, and asked impatiently: "What is the Prince of Qin, what is the Young General Yue, and which third son?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped in from the kang with a whistle, pointed to the little maid and said, "What did you say? Prince Qin? Prince Qin sent someone to find the old master?"
"It's not the Prince of Qin, but the person sent by General Yue under the Prince of Qin. He is telling the old man a message for the third prince." The little maid was startled by Mrs. Zhou and said timidly.
"Three Young Master? Young Master Zhou San? Isn't he dead?" Mrs. Zhou finally sorted out. Young Master Zhou San should be Zhou Zheng, the son of Prince Qin, who died.
The little maid looked confused: "I don't know either."
"Change, change me, I'll see you!" Mrs. Zhou shouted loudly with her shoes on her shoulders.
