Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Son of Heaven

Not only Rhodes was surprised, but even Yang Nianen, Yang Yushang and Yue'er were all surprised.Because no matter how you look at it, Di Qing is not someone who can take out fifty taels of gold. If he can take out fifty taels of cow dung, then it is very possible.But the gold is shining brightly on the table case, it will never be fake. Di Qing laughed and said, "It seems that someone is going to call me Grandpa." Yang Yushang let go of his worries, covered his mouth and smiled, like spring descending on the world. Rhode's face was as swollen as an eggplant skin, and he shouted: "Uncle Yang, I have no face here, so I bid farewell." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Di Qing shouted: "Hey, you haven't called yet..." Before he finished speaking, Yang Nian'en grabbed Di Qing and begged: "Officer, please stop making trouble." Yang Nianen signaled Yang Yushang to keep Di Qing first, and then chased him out of the courtyard, but Rhodes had already gone far.Yang Nian'en complained secretly, and came back with a sad face. Seeing this, Di Qing comforted him and said, "Old man Yang, I don't think this person is going to turn his back on what he says, but he has nothing to do. If you make trouble again, just call me and I'll beat him out!"

Yang Nianen felt angry when he saw that the person who should not have come came, and the person who should have left did not.It can be seen that Di Qing was maverick like an expert, but he didn't dare to offend, and asked: "What is the official's business here?" Di Qing hesitated and said: "I'm here, Di Qing, I'm here..." Turning to look at Yang Yushang, she saw her pair of wonderful eyes staring at him, seeming to be expecting, but also seemed to be blaming her, she suddenly felt courage in her heart, and said: "Come down here, In fact, it is to propose marriage to the old man. This gold is the betrothal gift, and I ask the old man to betroth Yu Chang to me."

Yang Yushang really liked Di Qing, and she was extremely shy when she heard the words, so she lowered her head.Yang Nian'en almost fainted, he had never seen such a cheeky and ridiculous person in his whole life. Di Qing said sincerely: "Of course I know that this move is presumptuous, but I really like Yushang, and I only want my father to fulfill me." Yang Nian'en hurriedly said: "This old man is just a businessman, how dare he climb up? Yue'er, quickly boil some water, I want to treat Di Guan to drink tea. Other things, let's discuss it in the long run." He was upset, With a shake of his hand, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.Seeing the shyness on her daughter's face, Yang Nian'en became suspicious: "Yushang, do you know this official?"

Yang Yushang nodded and said, "Father, we've known each other for a long time." Yang Nian'en was displeased, but he didn't want to scold her daughter face to face. At this time, Yue'er had moved out a small red clay stove, put a small cauldron on it, and filled it with well water. Song inherited Tang method, when drinking tea, some still use the method of decocting, but some people use the method of brewing.It's just that Tang people sometimes used ginger and salt as seasonings, but Song people paid attention to the quality and taste of tea itself, and abandoned the previous methods long ago.

Yang Nianen personally took a piece of tea, crushed the tea slowly, and waited for the water to boil.Yang Nianen used tea to cover up his uneasiness, thinking in his heart, how should he deal with this scoundrel?How could Yushang know such a rascal?Yushang's mother died early, and I have been in business all year round, and I have cultivated her willful character. If this matter passes away, I will definitely talk to Yushang.Girls are not allowed to stay, alas... Although Di Qing was born in a farming household, he also knew that during Chinese New Years, festivals, weddings and funerals, it is a very dignified thing to invite guests to drink tea in the countryside.He thought to himself, if Mr. Yang invites himself to drink tea, he will probably think carefully about his proposal.

Yang Yushang was shy in her heart, but also kind of sweet, thinking: Di Qing is finally willing to stand up for her, but most likely her father won't allow it.My father forbade me to just persevere.But let's see how Di Qing convinces my father, he is actually very clever, but why is he always dumb every time he sees me?Thinking of this, there was a sweet smile on the corner of his mouth. Everyone was in different moods, the water was already boiling, Yang Nianen took the tea bowl first, put some tea in the cup, poured some water in it, and said: "Mr. Decide how much tea to put in and brewing time, the tea must be delicious, not a little bit random.”

Di Qing said sincerely: "Drink less tea, I don't know that making tea is so particular." Yang Nian'en thought, this kid finally said something human, he doesn't look like an unreasonable person, let me convince him with reason.Said: "It's not just about making tea. In fact, this ordinary piece of tea contains hard work. The tea pickers get the buds, steam them, dry them, grind them, and sometimes cover them with precious ointment. Planting tea is also known as waxed tea. The dragon ball that Luo Zheng sent is of this kind, but this tea is produced very rarely. I heard that the emperor drank it less. Every time it is rewarded to the people of the two houses, it is only one and a half yuan. There are many precious things You can’t buy it with gold. Tea can’t be drunk until you get it. Tea is expensive, so it can’t be bought with gold alone.”

Yang Nianen earnestly compared her daughter to tea, which means that my daughter is not suitable for you, and it is useless if you have gold.Yang Nian'en said what he wanted, but seeing that Di Qing was still in a daze, he could only say, "I don't know what Di Guan thinks?" After finishing speaking, he made two cups of tea and asked Yue'er to bring a cup to Di Qing. Di Qing didn't dare to neglect, took a sip, and shouted: "It's so hot!" He was only thinking about Yang Nianen's meaning, he didn't notice that the tea was rushed out of boiling water, and he drank it in one gulp. Can endure pain.

Yang Nian'en said in his heart, well, that's all for nothing.Tea ceremony to this kind of person, that is playing the piano to the cow. Di Qing sucked in the cold air, resisted the heat and said: "Actually, I don't agree with what Old Master Yang said." Yang Nianen's heart trembled, and he asked, "Then what's your opinion?" Di Qing said: "It's not a good opinion, it's just an ordinary idea. I think I was still in the country, and people had some tea in their homes, and they refused to take it out easily. They kept it for a few years. But when I took it out to drink, it was already gone." The tea leaves are bland and tasteless. The tea leaves are fresh, but in order to preserve them, many people will not hesitate to dry and grind the newly picked buds into powder, which has long since made the real taste disappear. Adding any wax seals to add fragrance, it is even more wasteful. So, in my opinion, when drinking tea, the water needs to be fresh, and the tea is expensive and fresh. Please Haihan."

Di Qing said casually, only wanting to belittle Luo Zheng's dragon group.Yang Nian'en listened, but was stunned on the spot, holding a teacup, speechless for a long time. Right now, extravagance is prevalent in Beijing, so there is only Long Tuan Yicha.Scarcity is the most precious thing, but the expensive ones are not necessarily the best. Dragon balls can only be said to be scarce, and in Yang Nianen's eyes, they are not the best.Therefore, although what Di Qing said was vulgar, Yang Nian'en felt that this person's views were much higher than those of arty people. Yang Nian'en saw that Di Qing was quite insightful, so he didn't dare to underestimate him.Leaning over, seeing the bookcase still shining brightly on the table, he thought to himself that people who can casually throw fifty taels of gold are rare in the capital, what is the origin of this person?Suddenly, he saw two seal characters engraved on the inner wall of the book case. Looking over, Yang Nianen's face changed slightly when he saw the word "inside hidden". ?” Di Qing said ashamedly: "At the moment it is only a ten-general position." Seeing Yang Nianen frowning tightly, Di Qing had no choice but to say again: "But most likely there will be a slight promotion recently, and maybe he will be a casual straight." Yang Nian'en was shocked again, thinking that Sanzhi and ten generals are not the same, this person can be raised from ten generals to the position of Sanzhi, it goes without saying that he must have a backer.Yang Nian'en didn't guess out of thin air, but because of the word "contained inside", he already saw the origin of this box of gold. This box of gold actually came from the inner vault in the palace!The inner treasury is also known as the emperor's other treasury, which can only be used by the emperor.After Song Taizu captured Jinghu and Houshu, he created a "closed pile warehouse" to store the wealth transported from the two places. Later, the three divisions had surpluses every year, and some of them were put into the warehouse.Back then, Song Taizu built the treasury for the purpose of dealing with Khitan. Song Taizu once said that when the treasury was full of three to five million yuan, it would be used to redeem Youyan’s homeland from Qidan. .Song Taizu was a great man, determined to take back his homeland, but died suddenly in the middle of the night when he didn't want to, and this pile storehouse was later changed into an inner storehouse, storing countless wealth, but Song Taizu's original intention has long been forgotten by later generations. This box of gold is actually related to the emperor?Yang Nianen couldn't believe it, and asked tentatively, "Brother Di, do you know any officials in the court?" He asked this, of course because he thought that the gold was rewarded by the emperor to the important officials, who in turn passed it on to Di Qing.When I think of this, my heart beats secretly. Di Qing said vaguely: "There are some..." Yang Nian'en sighed: "Actually, this old man came to Luo Zheng to ask for something. But he left, I'm afraid the matter will not be resolved." After speaking, he looked sideways at Di Qing, with a hint of temptation. Di Qing boldly said: "I don't know what's wrong with the old man?" Yang Yushang dissatisfied: "Father, you and Di Qing met for the first time, why do you want him to do something?" Yang Nian'en said with a smile: "It's not asking him to do something, but just asking. Yu Chang, Brother Di is your friend, and of course it's your father's friend. It's okay to discuss some things, right?" Di Qing didn't want to embarrass Yang Yushang, so he said bravely, "It's nothing, it's nothing." Yang Nianen coughed lightly, and said, "This Luo Zheng was originally related to Li Zunxu, the captain-in-law, and Li Zunxu is highly valued by the current queen mother..." Di Qing's heart sank, knowing that trouble was coming.Although he has never met the Queen Mother, he also knows that everything related to this old woman is constant entanglement. Yang Nian'en said again: "This old man is a tea merchant. Over the years, the court has changed the tax law on tea. Some time ago, the tea farmers and merchants suffered because of the false and real three-buy method. Now the court has changed this method and adopted the sticking method. After careful observation, the old man felt that this matter was promising. But if he wanted to sell tea again, he had to go to the imperial court to obtain a coupon to buy and sell tea. However, this coupon is not easy to get. The old man has been worrying about this these days, so he found Rhodes. , this person originally said that he could do this for the old man, but what happened later... Brother Di also knew about it." Di Qing understood, and couldn't help crying secretly.To put it bluntly, the imperial court canceled the salt and tea monopoly and delegated the rights to merchants. Right now, this qualification is limited, so everyone is vying for this qualification. He, Di Qing, is an ordinary forbidden soldier, how could he have such a relationship? Seeing Di Qing's distressed face, Yang Nian'en couldn't help being greatly disappointed. He thought to himself that this person might have limited background, so he didn't bother to argue with him anymore, and said, "This matter has been entangled with me for a long time, and now I have to rush about it. Brother Di, you If there is nothing else, please go back. Please take back this gold." Di Qing was powerless, and hearing what Yang Nianen meant, he stood up awkwardly and said, "Since the old man is still busy, I'll come to visit another day. If I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any presents, even if the old man refuses to betroth Yushang to my servant, that's a big deal." Please accept the gold as well, as a gift." Di Qing was about to leave, but Yang Yushang suddenly said, "Father, my daughter will send Di Qing out." Yang Nian'en said anxiously: "You, it's cold outside, don't go." Yang Yushang said stubbornly: "It's okay, I just have a few words with Di Qing. Dad, don't worry." After saying that, he dragged Di Qing outside the hall, and Yang Nianen was more worried when he saw his daughter's affectionate behavior towards Di Qing. Yang Yushang didn't say a few words to Di Qing, seeing that he was going to leave, he was reluctant to part.Seeing this, Di Qing smiled and said: "Yu Chang, I don't want to meet my uncle like this today, but... I finally said what I wanted to say, this trip is worthwhile." Yang Yushang's eyes were full of tenderness, and he said in a low voice: "For anything, do what you can, don't embarrass yourself. Tianhan, take care of yourself." After finishing speaking, he pulled down the skirt of Di Qing's clothes and patted the dust.The two stared blankly at each other for a long time, Di Qing suddenly remembered something, reached out and took out the piece of jade from his bosom, and said, "Yushang, this is the jade I bought for you." Seeing the color of the jade, Yang Yushang said happily, "The pattern on this jade is very similar to Yao Huang, Di Qing, you are so kind." Suddenly his face flushed, he took the jade pendant, turned back to the hall, and couldn't help but turn his head look over.Seeing her turning her head, Di Qing smiled back. Seeing that Yang Nianen's expression was unkind, he was afraid that Yang Yushang would be in trouble, so he strode away. After Di Qing left, Yang Yushang just looked at the piece of jade in his hand over and over, thinking for a while, smiling for a while, his heart was full of tenderness and sweetness.Yue'er saw it at the side and said: "This jade is not pure, and there are spots, which are also common." Yang Yushang smiled and said: "Gold has a price and jade is priceless..." "Not only is jade priceless, but this kind of affection is also priceless." Yue'er said loudly. Yang Yushang blushed again, and scolded: "Nonsense, see if I pull out your tongue." Yue'er begged for mercy, turned around and ran away, Yang Yushang wanted to chase, but was stopped by Yang Nian'en. Yang Nian'en watched for a while, and saw that his daughter was full of affection, and seemed to have a deep affection for Di Qing. It seemed that Di Qing would not only give jade, but even a stone to his daughter, she would still like it.Yang Nian'en was even more flustered, and had to ask, "Yu Chang, my father has only been doing business all these years, and rarely talks to you. How did you know this Di Qing?" Yang Yushang lowered his head, and said after a long time: "Actually, it's nothing. He gave me flowers and picked up a kite for me, and we got to know each other." Yang Nian'en said anxiously: "This man has bad intentions towards you, and he is a lowly imperial guard. Don't be fooled by him." Yang Yushang was shy at first, but raised her head when she heard this and said, "Father, my daughter is old enough to know what she is doing. Do you still remember what you promised my mother back then?" Yang Nian'en frowned and said: "I promised her that you would choose your own husband, but my daughter, my father is also doing it for your own good. There are countless dignitaries in the capital. With your talent, learning and appearance, it is not difficult to find a dignitary. Seeing that Rhodes just saw you twice, he lost his mind? If it wasn't for Di Qing's sudden arrival, he would probably have helped father complete the voucher." Yang Yushang was dissatisfied and said: "Father, what you let Rhodes do is your business, but why did you drag me? Could it be that in your eyes, your daughter is really inferior to goods? He has done this for you, so you just Can you sell your daughter to him?" Yang Nianen sighed: "Of course not. But the hundreds of people in Jiangdong are all waiting for Dad to finish this matter. If nothing is done, how can Dad go to see Jiangdong's elders? Daughter, people always have to eat, right? Look at Di Qing Can you help with this matter, if he really has the ability, why would dad stop you?" Yang Yushang looked down at the piece of jade in his hand, just thinking in his heart, what ability does he have to accomplish this? The snow is melting and it is getting colder.The weather in early spring, although the sun is shining, but the cold wind blows on people, and there is still a chill that is difficult to dissipate. Di Qing felt a little chilly, he was ashamed to see Yang Yushang these days.Although Yang Yushang told him not to be reluctant and cared for him as before, but Yang Nianen's winter-like face all day made Di Qing restless. Ever since she dated Yang Yushang, Di Qing felt depressed and wanted to cheer up.But the days of grinding are over, even if he wants to cheer up, there is nothing he can do.Seeing the trees turn green and the wind soften, Di Qing couldn't help but sigh all day long, "It's hard to be a forbidden soldier, and it's even harder to be a low-level forbidden soldier." While he was sighing, Fang bought Zhang Yu some breakfast and was ready to go out on errands.Zhang Yu's injury has improved, but he doesn't speak much to Li Yuheng.Di Qing knew that Zhang Yu was dissatisfied with Li Yuheng, who stepped aside when he was in danger.Zhang Yu obviously thought that those were not brothers.Sometimes, old prejudices are hard to change, and Di Qing can only hope that Zhang Yu can see it better. Zhang Yu looked at Chun Yi, and there was also sadness in his eyes, "It's even more difficult to be a low-level imperial guard who was plotted against." Di Qing knew that Zhang Yu was talking about Xia Sui, and he was overly vigilant. Zhao Lv walked in from outside the camp, stared at Di Qing and said, "You don't want to be a low-level imperial guard, you don't have to." Di Qing smiled and said: "You always have to eat, don't you? With this mouth, besides eating, it is inevitable to complain. Don't be offended by Brother Zhao." Zhao Lv said with a straight face: "What right do I have to blame you now? Di Qing, Di Qing, I don't know if you ate cow dung or stepped on dog poop? The Sanya has a transfer order to promote you to Sanzhi and to be a martial artist Captain, effective immediately." Zhang Yu forced a smile and said, "Mr. Zhao, the year is over, so don't say these things to make us happy." Di Qing's heart skipped a beat, he remembered Sheng Gongzi's promise, and he believed it a little bit.But what is the origin of Sheng Gongzi?If you want to adjust him to be Sanzhi, you can be Sanzhi, and if you want to be sealed, you can seal him?How could such a person be so difficult to meet Zhang Miaoge?How could such a person be chased away by Ma Zhongli? While Di Qing was pondering, Zhao Lu stretched out his hand, handed over a transfer order, and said with a smile, "I'm not kidding, Brother Guo doesn't believe it, but it's true. Di Qing, pack your bags immediately and go to Sanya to report first." Then he turned and left. Di Qing thought, spring is here, and her own spring has finally come.Although that holy son is not righteous enough, he still counts when he speaks.But what kind of background does this kind of person have? He just waited to go to Sanya, Zhang Yu was already worried: "Di Qing, could it be that Xia Sui and the others promoted you first, and then planned to kill you?" After finishing speaking, Li Yuheng ran in and said, "Di Qing, are you going to be a straight man? It's spread in the military camp, what's going on?" Di Qing couldn't explain clearly, so he pretended to be deep and said: "Maybe I have a lucky moment. I went to worship Buddha to ask for an official a few days ago. I didn't think it would really come true." Li Yuheng wanted to ask which god was so effective, and he also wanted to ask, but seeing Zhang Yu's face was cold, he had to change his words: "That's really good luck. Di Qing, you have been promoted, don't forget our gang brother." Di Qing smiled and said: "That's natural, I will come back to see you often." After he went out, he saw all the imperial guards pointing at him, their eyes were either jealous or surprised, and they didn't know whether they were happy or sad.Suddenly I remembered that the ancients once said that there are disasters in blessings, and blessings in disasters.He thought to himself: The words of the ancients are still very reasonable. If you can be promoted to five or six ranks after spending more than half a year in prison, this deal is also worthwhile. When Di Qing arrived at Sanya, he first met the person in charge.The person in charge first talked about the rules, and then said that he would be under the temporary management of Ge Zongcheng, the commander in front of the palace.Di Qing knew that Ge Zongsheng was Ge Huaimin's son and Ge Ba's grandson.When Ge Ba was in Zhenzong, he was appreciated for his outstanding military achievements, and married the sister of Wang Deyong, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.Calculated, this Ge Zongsheng can also be regarded as the grandson of the general. Di Qing was suddenly promoted, and he only dared to slander him. On the surface, he was still submissive. He went to collect the military equipment first, and he would be on duty the next day.After Di Qing received the armament, he was going to talk to Yang Yushang about his recent situation, but when he thought of Yang Nianen's face in the cold winter months, he felt apprehensive.Returning to the barracks, I first invited my former brothers to have a drink. Except for Zhang Yu, everyone said that Di Qing should take care of his brothers in the future.Di Qing promised, but smiled wryly in her heart. In the early morning of the next day, Di Qing formally went to patrol the inner city. Because Ge Zongsheng is the grandson of a general, he seldom shows up on weekdays.The person in charge of the dispatch was Chang Kun, who was originally the deputy commander of the Japanese army among the Eight Imperial Guards in the capital, but was transferred to the front of the hall because of his high martial arts skills. Sanzhi is a kind of Banzhi, and Banzhi is actually the emperor's personal soldier.The members of the squad are mainly promoted from the eight imperial guards in the capital, and their duty is to protect the emperor, and they mainly protect the safety of Da Nei on weekdays.Banzhi is divided into Zhuban and Zhuzhi.Among the classes, there are divisions of professional titles such as Dianqian Commander, Golden Spear Class, and Sanzhi.To put it bluntly, each class has been responsible for various security affairs in the palace. After hearing what Chang Kun told Di Qing, he couldn't remember so much. Chang Kun also had some headaches for Di Qing. He had long heard that Di Qing's transfer order was that the two governments were transferred to the third office, and the third office transferred Di Qing to his subordinates.Chang Kun couldn't figure out Di Qing's background for a while, so he could only be kind to Di Qing for the time being. Chang Kun was having a headache as to how to arrange Di Qing, and suddenly had an idea.He didn't bring Di Qing to familiarize himself with the environment in the palace, but took him directly into a palace gate. Di Qing looked up and saw the words "Jiying Gate" written on the horizontal plaque on the palace gate, and thought to himself, it seems that the people who come here are all elites.Thinking of this, I also blush.Chang Kun took Di Qing through several palace walls and came to a place.There are high walls on the left and right hands of that place, and there is a dead end in front of it.Di Qing looked around in a daze, almost thinking that Chang Kun was going to bring him here to kill him. Chang Kun stopped walking and said: "Di Qing, there is no one guarding here for the time being. You have a great responsibility. You must take care of it. After sunset, you can turn around. By the way, do you remember the way to turn around?" Seeing Di Qing nod, Chang Kun patted He patted him on the shoulder and said: "Do things well, don't wander around, or something will happen, and I can't keep you. If you have credit, I will remember you." After saying that, he turned and left. Although Di Qingshou's place has high walls on three sides, there is a bamboo forest in the middle, stone benches and chairs, and a pavilion beside the forest.Although the place is small, it is quiet.Di Qing didn't understand why this place had to be guarded. Could it be that someone would come here to make trouble? The red sun is rising high, and it shines over the high wall, and the sun shines on the body, warm.Di Qing sighed, and murmured: "You should be content with money and a place to rest." Since his relationship with Yang Yushang, his sadness has gradually disappeared, and he has regained his previous optimistic nature, so he finds a stone chair and sits down.He murmured in his heart, "This kind of place should be a place for the palace people to rest in summer, right? It's cold in spring and the snow hasn't melted yet, probably few people will come here." While thinking about it, a scream came suddenly! Di Qing was distracted, when he heard the scream, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and he stood up suddenly, holding the knife in his hand.After the screams, the surroundings became eerily quiet again. Di Qing looked around and recalled the direction from which the screams came from, it seemed to be inside the high wall in the west.Di Qing was worried, wondering if someone had set a trap again, trying to lure him into the trap?This is the palace, Xia Sui probably wouldn't dare to make trouble here, would he? Di Qing walked slowly towards the high wall to the west.When I got to the wall, I listened carefully, but I heard no sound.Finally mustered up the courage, took two steps back, took advantage of the momentum and ran, stepped on the wall, burst into shape, grabbed the top of the wall with all his strength, looked over with his head, and almost fell again. Not far from the wall, there was blood.There is a chopping board in the middle with a dead pig lying on it!It was only then that Di Qing remembered that the scream just now should be the cry of a pig before it died.It turns out that Jiyingmen is actually a place for slaughtering livestock. Di Qing could only sigh, the courtiers are human beings, the emperor and empress are also human beings.People have to eat, and there must be a place in the palace to slaughter livestock.And his current task turned out to be to take care of the dead pigs. Di Qing let go of the hand holding the wall, fell down, shook his head, and had already greeted Chang Kun's female relatives.He was so straight that he was given such a job, no need to ask, those people looked down on him. But it seems that Chang Kun cannot be blamed for this. Those who want to be admitted to the class are all noble children. Of course, he comes here with mud legs, which is of course despised.Di Qing sat back, thinking in his heart, even if he spent his whole life in the pigsty, he might not get any credit.If I meet Mr. Sheng again, I hope he will still want to go to Zhugelou, bargain with him, and ask for some official work. I wonder if he will? The corner of his mouth was full of sarcasm, Di Qing also knew that he was whimsical, holding his saber, leaning on the pavilion pillar, and was about to sleep for a while, when he suddenly heard movement in the direction of Jiying Gate. Di Qing froze, sure it wasn't a pig screaming, he stood up, and greeted him, and heard a person whisper: "It's broken, they are going to catch up." Another person said: "Go and block, I will go first." When Di Qing heard this, he thought to himself, okay, Chang Kun is a prophet who knows that there are thieves coming here, so let me be here.It seems that the opportunity for me, Di Qing, to make contributions has come.This is exactly where the hero Mo Wen came from, I don't care if you kill pigs and watch pigs.Hearing the heavy footsteps, I thought to myself that the thief has lost his strength, and the opportunity should not be missed. He always felt that the voice seemed a little familiar. Hearing the footsteps approaching, Di Qing dodged and hid by the wall without thinking too much.Seeing a figure move around the corner, one of them rushed over, Di Qing stretched his leg and tripped.The man was caught off guard, and fell to the ground amidst the yell. There is another person behind that person, screaming: "Stop!" while rushing fiercely, Di Qing has drawn a knife in his hand, pressed it against his chest, and shouted: "Don't force me to kill!" A little blunt, he lost his voice and said: "Mr. Yan, why is it you?" The person who rushed to him was Mr. Yan, the follower of Mr. Sheng. Di Qing thought of something, turned his head and looked over, and was even more surprised.Wasn't the one who fell down humming and whimpering the Sheng Gongzi? Mr. Yan said angrily: "Good for you, Di Qing! How dare you take action against Sheng... Young Master?" Di Qing sneered and said: "You, a thief, are you so arrogant? Thinking about my majestic Sanzhi, the first thing to do is to catch the thief..." After thinking about it, this Sanzhi was begged by Sheng Gongzi, so he breathed a sigh of relief, yes Sheng Gongzi said: "Are you all right? Have you eaten the gall of a leopard? Did you steal it into the palace?" Suddenly there was a chill down his spine, wondering if the two were burglars, and they also brought the box of gold from the palace. Steal it? Mr. Yan said, "Who stole something?" Sheng Gongzi waved his hands, barely stood up, and asked, "Di Qing, why are you here?" Di Qing asked strangely, "Isn't that the official you asked for?" Sheng Gongzi's face suddenly became strange, and he said after a while: "So he really helped me do it." Di Qing hurriedly asked, "What did you say?" Thinking in his heart, it turns out that Sheng Gongzi also begged someone else, who is he who begged for the position for him? Sheng Gongzi shook his head and said anxiously: "Di Qing, you have to do me a favor. I will talk about other things later." Di Qing asked immediately, "What reward?" Mr. Yan said angrily: "You are the one who has the courage to speak like this?" Di Qing put the knife back into its sheath and said, "This is a matter between me and Mr. Sheng, what is your business? Mr. Sheng disagrees, so I don't have to meddle in my own business." He turned his head to leave, thinking that he and the two men had finally become friends. Just turn a blind eye and let them go. Sheng Gongzi shouted: "Okay, I promise you. You help me escape first." Di Qing shivered, "Did you kill someone?" Sheng Gongzi smiled bitterly: "Do you think I can kill people? Oh, it's too late, you can help first." Di Qing felt that the Sheng Gongzi was indeed not like a murderer, and in a flash, he decided to attack.Said: "Come with me!" He took the two of them to the outside of the wall where the pigs were slaughtered just now, and said: "Curve over here, there is a place for slaughtering livestock, there seems to be no one there for the time being, I will find a way to take you out later. " Mr. Yan frowned and said, "Is this kind of dirty place the place for us to go?" Di Qing laughed angrily, "Then you go to a noble place, Mr. Sheng, how about you?" Sheng Gongzi glanced in the direction of the way he had come, and heard voices vaguely, his face changed slightly, wondering: "But I can't make it through." Di Qing knelt down and said, "Step on your shoulders and go over. I'm at a disadvantage, but you remember that I want to be paid." Sheng Gongzi nodded, and hurriedly stepped on Di Qing's shoulder.As soon as Di Qing exerted his strength, Sheng Gongzi had already passed the wall.There was a thud on the other side, and Mr. Sheng snorted again. Mr. Yan changed his face and shouted, "Di Qing, send me there quickly. I want to see Mr. Sheng." Di Qing sighed, straightened his back and said, "I don't owe you anything, why do you want my help?" Mr. Yan was furious, rolled his eyes, reached into his bosom, took out an ingot of silver and said, "Is this enough?" Sheng Gongzi whispered from inside the wall: "Mr. Yan, come here quickly, I... I am very scared." Di Qing also heard the footsteps at the Jiying Gate, and before he had time to bargain, he sent Mr. Yan over the wall, then straightened his armor and stood with his sword in his arms. There was a lot of noise at the corner, and hearing that he was almost here, Di Qing's heart moved, and he greeted him and said, "Who is making the noise?" A group of people rushed towards him, and surrounded Di Qing!Di Qing was startled, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, before he was about to shout, he saw a woman named Feng Guanxiapei with a haughty expression on her face, and swallowed the words again.He had just entered the palace, although he didn't know who this woman was, but he thought that he could lead a large group of people to rush around the palace, so he had better not offend her. Around the woman were five or six court men, seven or eight palace maids, all of whom had sweat on their foreheads.The woman looked around and saw no one around, and said sharply: "Hey, can you see someone coming?" Di Qing said: "Yes." Sheng Gongzi heard it from inside the wall and almost fainted.The woman said happily, "Where is that person?" Di Qing said: "Aren't you the ones who came here?" A palace man nearby shouted: "Bold! How dare you speak to the queen like that?" Di Qing's heart trembled so violently that he almost sat on the ground.He never thought that the woman who came was Queen Guo from the palace.Although Di Qing was not familiar with the palace, he knew that there was a queen named Guo in the current emperor.Empress Guo wanted to find Mr. Sheng, so why did she come?Could it be that Mr. Sheng is greedy for beauty, even if he dares to flirt with Queen Guo?Di Qing groaned secretly, thinking that it would be impossible to ask for an official now, and that he offended Empress Guo.If she finds out that Sheng Gongzi is dishonest and confesses him, then in the future, let alone watching pigs at Jiying Gate, even raising pigs will not work. Empress Guo's eyes widened with anger, she suddenly stretched out her palm to strike.Di Qing gritted his teeth, only to hear a slap, the palace man who flattered the queen just now had already been slapped.The palace man covered his face, full of fear.Di Qing was not beaten, on the contrary she was a little confused, not knowing what kind of medicine Empress Guo was taking today. Empress Guo stared, pointing at a group of palace ladies and cursing: "You idiots! You can't even look at people, and you still have the face to shirk responsibility? There is no one here, won't you look for it elsewhere?" She turned her head and left, ignoring Di Qing in a hurry. A court lady rushed over and said, "Empress, the Empress Dowager has called you. Please go over quickly." Empress Guo slapped her again, and while the maid screamed, several bloodstains had been scratched on her face.Empress Guo scolded: "Can't I go by myself? Do you want to talk too much?" The hustle and bustle gradually subsided, and after a while, Queen Guo had disappeared.Di Qing couldn't help touching her face, secretly rejoicing, thinking that Empress Guo is sick, but fortunately she is sick!It is understandable for Sheng Gongzi to avoid, anyone who sees this kind of woman will run away.But such a sick person, why did he rush to find Mr. Sheng? Di Qing couldn't figure it out, but he already walked along the wall.When I got to the main entrance of the pig slaughtering, I saw no one around, so I dodged in.There are not even handymen in the courtyard, presumably they are lazy and resting.Di Qing secretly told the sky to have eyes, and it seemed that he would see Yu Chang again in a few days.It turned out that Di Qing and Sheng Gongzi bargained for the coupon that Yang Nianen mentioned. After entering the backyard, Di Qing saw Mr. Sheng and Mr. Yan sitting in the courtyard, looking at the dead pig with sad faces.Di Qing sighed and said: "Fortunately, I have dealt with the problem, Mr. Sheng, why did the Empress seek you?" Di Qing was still a little scared, and couldn't help but want to ask. There was a hint of anger in Shenggongzi's eyes, which was replaced by a sad look in an instant, and he also sighed: "Don't mention it, that is a crazy woman." Di Qing deeply felt the same way, seeing that Mr. Sheng didn't want to bring it up again, he thought he would take care of the empress dowager, and put forward the request first.Just as he was about to speak, Di Qing suddenly heard the sound of the courtyard door opening. Di Qing's face changed slightly, and he said anxiously: "Are they chasing you? You hide first?" Seeing a pigsty next to it, which was full of hay, he signaled to Mr. Sheng hide in. Mr. Yan said angrily, "How is this possible?" Sheng Gongzi frowned and said: "Let's hide first, it's better to go to the pigsty than to go to the queen's." After that, he entered the pigsty first, and Mr. Yan followed closely despite his expression of reluctance.The two of them hid themselves, and Di Qing heard footsteps.The sound of footsteps was slight, like a leopard walking in the wilderness, without listening carefully, it would be difficult to detect it.Di Qing trembled in his heart, and preemptively said: "Who is outside, why is there no one here? I have something to do with you." A person stepped in and stood in front of Di Qing.Di Qing stared at the man dumbfounded, and said after a long time, "Brother Guo, why are you here?" It was Guo Zun who came.Guo Zun stared into Di Qing's eyes and said, "What are you doing here?" Di Qing faltered and said: "It's nothing, I just heard the sound of killing pigs, so I came here to take a look. Brother Guo, what are you doing here?" Guo Zun said slowly, "I know you've been promoted, so I came here to take a look. I saw you coming here just now, so I followed in." Di Qing didn't know how much Guo Zun had heard, so he changed the subject and said, "Killing a pig is nothing interesting. Brother Guo, let's go out and talk about it." Before he could move, Guo Zun said, "Who is in the pigsty?" Di Qing was startled, before Guo Zunshan stepped forward, he lifted the straw in the pigsty.Seeing this, Di Qing was in a bad mood, and thought that Mr. Sheng had committed a crime. Guo Zun came to arrest him, and shouted anxiously, "Brother Guo, don't hurt him. He is my friend!" Guo Zun's figure froze, looking at the Sheng Gongzi in the straw pile, his face became extremely strange, and he said in a low voice: "Your friend?" When Sheng Gongzi saw Guo Zun, there was only a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, but he showed no fear.Di Qing didn't notice Mr. Sheng's expression, and said in a hurry: "Yes, they are my friends..." Before he finished speaking, Di Qing was already dumbfounded, because he saw Guo Zun knelt down on one knee and saluted Mr. Sheng: " Commander Guo Zun in front of the palace, see Your Majesty!" Di Qing almost swallowed his tongue, and lost his voice: "Holy... Your Majesty? Is he Your Majesty?"
