Chapter 9 The ninth chapter must be guarded against the prime minister's anger, and the pearls left behind cannot be picked up. Who will guard the capital with thousands of horses and ten thousand horses?

After the people left, ordinary tourists and local natives searched all over the place and refused to leave.It turned out that the attendants of the five families were all covered in pearls and emeralds and covered in fragrant flowers, and the leftover hairpins, rings, tassels and so on were found from time to time.Everyone was scrambling to pick it up, but Sun Zai walked forward suddenly and advised everyone: "Don't look at this thing as what they left behind. When they found out when they were young, they sent someone back to check. If they are found out, you will all be in trouble. Just now Someone outside the Xuan Xuan looked at you twice, and you were beaten and scolded, and you were almost arrested. Why bother!"

It turns out that although Yang Guozhong is dissolute and shameless, and he doesn't shy away from it, when he was traveling with Mrs. Hu Guo and others, he hated outsiders to peep.Everywhere he went was guarded by a military academy.Someone snooped, the light one was beaten and scolded, and the serious one was caught in prison and questioned.Just now, because some of them spied on Mrs. Guo, they looked a few more times in the hall, and they were beaten up.Sun Zai and Wang Yi lived in the area for a long time, and the villagers were either relatives or relatives. They were afraid that they would suffer from their ignorance. Look, you won't be bored!" After persuading everyone to leave, they invited Du Fu and his wife to have a drink on the slope.When talking about what they saw that day, they were all very indignant. After eating, the sun had already set, and they sent Du Fu and his wife back to make tea and chat at Du's house.Mrs. Yang went to prepare wine and dishes again, and invited everyone to have a small drink for the night. We talked about it in the middle of the night and made an appointment before we broke up.

Getting up early the next day, Zheng Qian first came from the city to report the news, saying: "I just heard the urgent report in the court room. Fan Yang's army is not stable, and the general has the intention of attacking the border. Now many nobles in the city are preparing Fleeing, burying gold and silver, there are many rumors. According to this situation, chaos will break out, and we must prepare early." Du Fu said with a smile: "This matter is related to the survival of the country. What does it matter to us personally? Besides, it's the same everywhere now, so where is the best place to escape?"

Zheng Qian knew that his uncle Cui Xu was the county magistrate of Baishui, and his brother-in-law Yang Yan was also working in Baishui. In addition, last year's drought, the people's livelihood is difficult, and the rice is hard to live, so it's best to take refuge for a while, and it's the same when you come back after escaping this catastrophe." As soon as he finished speaking, two provincial officials suddenly ran in outside the door and said, "Du Fu took the exam in Jixian Academy after he presented the gift. The prime minister presented the article to the emperor, and he was greatly praised after reading it. At that time, he ordered the prime minister to give it to Du Fu. He has been appointed Hexi Captain, and he will take up the post within ten days. I am here to congratulate him, and please make preparations early."

Du Fu saw Chang'an for ten years, and he was not even satisfied. Finally, he had such a chance to enter, but the imperial court didn't value it at all. In the end, he only gave it to a secular official. The boss didn't like it, so he discussed with Yang and Zheng Qian for a while, and decided to take The official business was returned, and he was not accepted as an official position. He gave the visitor some wine money.As soon as they were sent away, Sun Zai and Wang Yi rushed over one after another, and they said the same thing, they all said that the flames of the frontier pass had started, Tongguan had been breached by Anlu Mountain, and they were invading eastward.Moreover, An Lushan also divided up an army, preparing to attack Xijing. People were panic-stricken and rumors arose everywhere, so Du Fu was advised to make plans early.Yang Shi felt worried after hearing this, so she also tried to persuade her.Only then did Du Fu agree to go to Baishui and Fengxian to seek refuge with his relatives first, and then make sense after a while.The husband and wife had a hasty discussion, so they arranged the housework a little bit, and asked Wang Yi to take care of it.The husband and wife brought Zongwen.Zongwu's two sons are going to go to Fengxian together within a few days.

Because Cui's family is not rich, Du Fu must bring plenty of clothes with him, so as not to disturb others when he arrives.After seeing off the guests that night, they closed the door tightly and packed their luggage.Since the journey was all on foot and the family had no carriages, Yang specially made some dry food in the kitchen for food on the road.When the bandages were done, I packed another bag of chicken and bacon marinated in the next year, and prepared to take it as a gift.Everything stopped, it was late at night, and the whole family went to bed to rest.In the middle of the night, I could hear people knocking on the door, chattering, and running back and forth.Du Fu wanted to show up twice, but was held back by Yang.Then I heard the neighbor's wife knock on the door and call out: "Fan soldiers have already broken through Luoyang, the eastern capital, and are coming to Chang'an. At present, people from all over the world are fleeing and rebelling. Chaos. In some places, there are remnants of soldiers retreating from the front who took advantage of the fire to loot, and fires are burning everywhere. Du Fu and his wife should hurry up and make preparations."

Du Fu listened, changed his mind for a while, and then let go, not paying much attention to it.Unexpectedly, just after dawn, a strong man broke open the gate and ran in.Du Fu saw that it was Liu Zhuang who was forcibly taken away by the army and rescued by his wife before he met Gao Shi in Xianyang Bridge last time.He is known to be honest and simple, with a loyal disposition.Because I often donate to his family, I am grateful, and I rush to the fields to help every day, and I am the most able to bear hardships and stand hard work.Guessing that there must be an accident when he came early in the morning, he let him sit in the main room and asked about his purpose, only to find out that the military situation is urgent!Chang'an may not be guaranteed soon.Moreover, there are no soldiers to defend the city, and there is no food and grass, so the situation is very critical.When today's emperor ordered to go west last night, before dawn, he collected a large number of chariots Martin Zhuang, took the Sangong Sixth Courtyard, the emperor's relatives, and Yang Guozhong's brothers and sisters, and the whole family to get up together. Before dawn, he opened the Yanqiu Gate and headed for Longxi run away.Du Fu thought to himself: "If the Son of Heaven doesn't leave, he can still guard the capital tightly and wait for the king's troops from all walks of life. If he flees in a hurry, the enemy soldiers will definitely take advantage of the vacancy, and the fall of the capital will only happen overnight." Talk to Yang Shi At first, Sun Zai and Wang Yi rushed over at the same time, followed by Zheng Qian from the city, all of which were bad news.Du Fu really didn't want to wait at home, so he had a quick chat with a few good friends, and taking advantage of Liu Zhuang's help, he asked him to pick up the luggage, and the four of them, young and old, walked out of the city by way of the Golden Light Gate and rushed to Fengxian.

The new Fengxian county lieutenant Yang Yan is Yang's cousin.Yang lived in his house for several years when he was young, and he has a very close relationship with Yang's mother.Knowing that his mother loves this cousin, Yang Yan is discussing with Cui Xu that in a few days he will send someone to Duqu to pick up Du Fu and his wife and spend some days in Fengxian and Baishui. He is very happy to see him and his wife vote.At that time, we arranged accommodation and treated each other very well. Du Fu saw that his brother-in-law was generous and hospitable, and he was warm to people.Uncle Cui Xu also valued him and his wife.The local scenery is beautiful, and I am looking for a place to live for a few days, and then return to Chang'an after the chaos settles down.Unexpectedly, at dusk Zhengqian suddenly came looking for him on horseback, and said: "Because he refused to be a Hexi captain, the imperial court has changed to the right guard to lead the mansion, Cao Junjun, and the imperial order has been ordered. Although the palace is not big, but the job is idle, it is better than being in Hexi." Wei is much better. And since the emperor has favored him, there will be development in the future. Advise Du Fu to move back to Chang'an, instead of fleeing abroad."

Du Fu asked that soldiers and horses of Qin kings from all walks of life came one after another, the most important of which was Guo Ziyi, the military governor of Shuofang.There are also some old troops under Ge Shuhan, all of whom are famous brave generals and have many soldiers.Feeling that there is a lot to be done in the country's affairs, I can't help thinking of returning home. On the second day, Cui Xu and Yang Yan prepared wine to meet the wind and met Zheng Qian.During the meeting to discuss matters ahead, Yang Yan first said: "It sounds like there are many soldiers of King Qin, and it is still uncertain whether they can wipe out the strong bandits in one fell swoop. Although my brother-in-law returns to Beijing to work, it is still necessary Can be considered."

Cui Xu advised Du Fu to return to the court to serve alone, not to disappoint the emperor's kindness.It is better for Yang's mother and son to stay in Yang Yan's yamen in Fengxian.Du Fu wanted to say goodbye, but Cui and Yang were so kind and courteous that they couldn't refuse, so they had to agree. That night, it was originally agreed to keep Yang's mother and son in Fengxian, and Du Fu returned to Beijing to serve on his own.Unexpectedly, before noon the next day, my good friend Sun Zai suddenly came to find him, and said that since Chang'an was invaded by bandits, the whole city was in chaos.Fan soldiers harassed everywhere in the outskirts of the city. Many relatives of the emperor, princes and grandchildren were killed by bandit soldiers.The most hateful thing is that An Lushan forced the court officials to surrender, and the torture and death were terrible.And I heard that Shi Siming, the party member of Anlu Mountain, and An Qingxu, the thief, both brought heavy troops to the two capitals to kill them.Don't say that Chang'an can't go back, even Baishui and Fengxian are not safe places to live.Sun Zai came here because of the turmoil, and there was nowhere to take refuge. He thought of how many relatives and friends he had in Sanchuan and Luyanzhou.Tongjiawa also has a few houses and a few acres of Susukida left by his father in Japan, and he came here specially for refuge.Knowing that Du Fu came here to visit relatives, I made a special visit and urged Du Fu not to return to Beijing.Otherwise, it would be unfair to be captured by bandit soldiers, forced to serve as false officials, and suffer many tortures and humiliations.Cui Xu and Yang Yan also said: "Nothing else matters. If you are forced to surrender to the enemy, it will have a lot to do with you in the future. You'd better be careful!"

Du Fu asked that Sun Zai had fled the rebellion this time, and even his wife and family had moved here, so he asked him to find a few houses in Luzhai Prefecture, and then buy a few acres of Susukida, planning to live with the whole family for a while, and then go after the chaos is over. go back.Sun Jae said with a smile: "This is easy!" Saying goodbye and leaving. A few days later, Sun Zai wrote back and said: "The house and the fields have been bought on behalf of others, and it is located in Qiang Village, Bangzhou. There are mountains and rivers there, and the scenery is very beautiful. And the people in the same village are all relatives and friends of the Sun family, not outsiders." Du Fu was overjoyed when he saw the letter, so he moved Yang's mother and son there. He saw that the field was only four acres, and Liu Zhuang alone was enough to help cultivate it.Then came the news that the bandits were coming to kill Baishui and Fengxian, and they dared not act rashly.After settling down at home, he lived in Qiang Village. After three months, I heard that the new emperor was already in Lingwu. He wanted to go to the court several times, but the road was not safe, and there were some thieves and thieves in addition to the enemy.Following the flash floods in Sanchuan, it became even more impossible to go on the road, so we had to go back to Fengxian to wait for a while.I want to wait for the water to recede and the road to be a little calmer, and then go to Lingwu to meet the emperor.
