Gu Baiyi had to go back to the Kyoto government office to work as a errand at night. Qin Xiao knew that he hadn't rested well and didn't delay him too long. After eating, he said goodbye. He wanted to let Gu Baiyi take a break when he hurryed.
Gu Baiyi let everything happen, Qin Xiao said goodbye, he did not stay, and sent Qin Xiao out of the house, returning to the house to rest by himself.
Since the day when Qin Xiao entered Beijing, he had booked three guest rooms at the Sipingfang Changle Inn. After Du Hongsheng and Han Yunong were detained, the rooms never returned.
Qin Xiao has a huge amount of money, and it is easy to buy this Changle Inn. Naturally, he won't care about the rent for a few days.
The inns in Kyoto are also particular.
Hundred and Eight Squares, although they are all in Kyoto, there are high and low points.
For example, the workshops where high-ranking officials and dignitaries live are naturally called official workshops. The places where various ministries do errands are called Gongfang, and some places with many shops are called Shifang. The places where people live are naturally It is called Minfang.
In addition to the largest trading markets in the East and West markets, Kyoto also has many shops operating some businesses. After all, the city of Kyoto is too big. Walking from the east to the west of the city, it may not be possible to walk for two days on foot. The people need it. Naturally, it is impossible to go to the East and West cities to buy all the living expenses.
Therefore, there are often several folk squares around the city, and the middle one is set as the city square, allowing all kinds of businesses to be operated. The song and dance music squares, inns and restaurants are mostly concentrated in the city square, and the folk squares are They can't operate this kind of business, they can only operate some essential commodities such as oil, salt, rice shops and medicine shops.
Qin Xiao wanted to find an inn in Huiyifang, but he couldn't find it, so he could only return to the Sipingfang Changle Inn.
Although Han Yunong instructed him to leave Kyoto as soon as possible, even Gu Baiyi meant it, but Qin Xiao thought about going and decided to stay for a few more days. After all, Han Yunong is currently still in the Criminal Department. If anything happens, except for himself , It is impossible for others to run for Han Yunong.
He was thinking of staying for a few more days, waiting for the Ministry of Justice to announce the results of this case. If Han Yunong really has no problems, he will consider leaving Kyoto at that time.
Gu Baiyi's remarks can be said to give Qin Xiaotai the enlightenment, realizing that the imperial court may send a team of soldiers out of Jiayuguan to enter Xiling to behave, but it is absolutely impossible to really use Xiling with troops.
It made him angry and helpless.
Even if Han Yunong is able to retreat completely in the Ministry of War case, with the status of the two, it is absolutely impossible to have the slightest influence on the imperial order. Since the adults in the court have given up Xiling, he and Han Yunong are also There is no way to reverse the situation.
Gu Baiyi said something very straightforward, but Qin Xiao knew that Gu Baiyi still didn't say it directly.
Most of the officials in the DPRK opposed the imperial court's use of troops. Not only did they oppose entering the Xiling, but they also dragged on the conquest of Southern Xinjiang and were not aggressive. In the final analysis, this of course could not be affected by the thoughts of the courtiers. The emperor, only the courtiers can see the heart of the emperor, so they will act according to the wishes of the emperor.
The one who really doesn't want to use soldiers is the emperor.
If the emperor is thinking about the people's hardship and is unwilling to make people's lives more difficult because of the use of soldiers, then he is naturally the king of sage, but in Qin Xiao's view, today's sage may not have such thoughts.
Whether it is Xiling or Southern Xinjiang, it is the territory of the empire. As the emperor, not only to enjoy the worship of the subjects of the world, but also to shoulder the mission of an empire.
Guarantee
To prove the unity of the territories and eradicate all the forces that divide the territories, even if it is a heavy price, as the emperor, he still has to fulfill his responsibilities.
The empire can not expand abroad, but it will never allow its territory to be divided.
But how many people can change the saint’s mind? At least Qin Xiao has self-knowledge, even if there is a person who can change the saint's mind, it can't be himself.
He returned to the inn with a heavy heart, and was about to go back to his room when he heard a voice shouting: "Qin Xiao!"
The voice is very familiar. Qin Xiao followed his reputation, and saw a person beckoning to him in the main tea room of the inn. When he saw that person, Qin Xiao said with joy: "Master Du!"
Changle Inn is a very famous inn in Sipingfang. I chose to stay here because it looks clean and comfortable. There are three floors. There is a corner on the first floor and there is a tea room for people. Guests who come to visit the hotel can wait in the tea room.
At this time, it was Du Hongsheng who had gone to Beijing together to beckon Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao and Du Hongsheng both spent a few years in Guicheng, but Du Hongsheng stayed longer and was able to be sent to Xiling as an official by the imperial court. In fact, they belonged to the officials who were excluded from the imperial court. It makes no difference.
Although the two of them both walked out of Turtle City, they barely had any contact when they were in Turtle City.
After all, one is the county guard of Zhen County, and the other is the jailer of the prison. The status is very different, and it is difficult to have any chance to be together.
The turtle city was lost, and Du Hongsheng was reduced to a prisoner. If Qin Xiao hadn't used the identity of Cao Cao officer Lu Siyuan to enter the prison to rescue him, Du Hongsheng might not have survived to this day.
The two people shared weal and woe on their way to Beijing.
Only after entering Beijing, Du Hongsheng went to the staff the next day and lost the news. At this time, Qin Xiao saw that Du Hongsheng was safe and sound, and he was really happy.
He and Du Hongsheng can’t talk about the deep friendship, but in this unfamiliar Kyoto, Du Hongsheng is one of the few people he knows. After all, he also has shared adversities and can meet Du Hongsheng. Naturally very happy.
He stepped forward quickly, but found two other officials at the table, staring at Qin Xiao with strange eyes.
"My lord, everything is okay with you?" Qin Xiao didn't care about the two of them, and stepped forward and said, "Seeing that you are safe and sound, my heart is at ease."
He has an injury on his shoulder, but he has already applied the wound medicine, and Qiuniang also bandaged him, so as long as he doesn't move too violently, it won't be a big problem.
Du Hongsheng looked at Qin Xiao, his face was full of joy, he reached out his hand, held Qin Xiao’s wrist, and said softly, “I’m leaving. Before I leave, I want to come over and see you. You are not here. In the inn, I thought about waiting for a while, if you really didn’t come back, we won’t see you anymore."
"Going?" Qin Xiao was startled, and asked in confusion: "My lord, where are you going?"
Du Hongsheng hadn't spoken yet, but an official sitting at the table said calmly: "The official has a transfer order, and the original Xiling Zhen County Shou Du, the former Xiling Zhen County, will go to the southern Xinjiang Liuzhou Xiang County as the county guard, and he will leave for his post on the day."
Qin Xiao was taken aback, and said in surprise: "Southern Xinjiang?" Isn't Nanjiang not the territory of Zhennan King Murong Tiandu? Wherever the court will send officials there.
Du Hongsheng seemed to see the doubt in Qin Xiao's heart, but he was very calm, and smiled: "Situ Butang is already
After asking the saint’s decree, and also issuing a transfer order, Xiangjun’s Niujun’s current age is already high, and the staff has already decided who should be more appropriate to replace it. This time I came to Beijing. Situ Butang decided to send me to replace Niu Junshou's messenger. Qin Xiao, I have worried you these few days. Duwei Han is in the Ministry of Justice. I don’t want to say goodbye to him. If I leave without saying hello to you, I feel a little bit sad, so I came over and took a look. You say goodbye. "
"Master Du, there is a restaurant next door. I wonder if I can offer you a goodbye drink before leaving?" Qin Xiao was a little depressed, but still smiled: "I don't know what to do this time. See you later."
Du Hongsheng glanced at the two officials, Qin Xiao understood, and smiled on his face, and said to the two men: "Two big brothers, there is a restaurant next door, it's pretty grand, you are going on the road, I want to be a hostess , How about a light meal together?"
The two officials glanced at each other, and one smiled and said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you eat and go on the road. It's still early, so you won't delay leaving the city."
At the moment, a few people did not delay. When they arrived at the restaurant on the side and just on the second floor, Qin Xiao had already put a piece of silver into the hands of the two officials, and the two officials were both officials. The staff of the Ministry, this time, was arranged to **** Du Hongsheng to Southern Xinjiang to take up his post. In fact, it was only two or three taels in a month. At this moment, he received more than a month's salary, which is naturally a joy.
Although it’s just a small official, but I don’t understand the rules when eating in Kyoto, one person puts away the money, and smiles in a low voice: "You are about to be parted, and naturally you have something to say. We will not bother you, you are free. We are waiting outside."
Qin Xiao asked for a private room, and he also asked for a room for two officials to serve food in two rooms.
Wait for the food and drinks, Qin Xiaocai closed the door, returned and sat down beside Du Hongsheng, and asked in a low voice, "Master Du, what the **** is going on?"
"Qin Xiao, things are almost over. The overall situation is settled. It is fortunate for us to escape from the dead." Du Hongsheng sighed softly: "I didn't expect to go to Beijing to report the military situation. The Ministry of War actually wanted us to bear the blame. , I heard that if you didn’t go to the Xing Department to beat the drum, and the Xing Department involved in this case, Han Duwei might die in the Ministry of War. These years have been staying in Xiling, although the Zhen family is rampant, they are somewhat afraid , I also counted a few years of leisure. Maybe it was because I stayed in Xiling for too long. When I first returned to Kyoto, I forgot the shadow of the sword and sword under the bustling city. I was careless and almost died here."
Qin Xiao knew that Du Hongsheng had been in the bureaucracy these days, and he must have been controlled as a chess piece, and Du Hongsheng was obviously frightened for many days. Qin Xiao didn't ask much about what he experienced, so he could only ask quietly: "My lord, why did the staff send you to Southern Xinjiang?"
"Han Duwei testified that Fan Wen is being arrested, and this time Fan Wen is doomed to escape." Du Hongsheng whispered: "The staff was worried that the Ministry of War would pull them into the water and leave me at the staff office, just in case. I want me to prove that Yao Duhu and many officials in Xiling were fighting the rebels until their deaths, so that the Ministry of War would not impose the blame on Yao Duhu and others, so as to pull the officials into the water. However, since the Ministry of Criminal Affairs took action, the officials The ministry is safe, so don’t worry about Fan Wenzheng’s trouble with the officials. My chess piece is useless now, and staying in Kyoto may still be a trouble, so Situ Butang sent me away as soon as possible."
"But why is it Southern Xinjiang?" Qin Xiao frowned, "Where can you not be settled in the eighteen states of the Tang Dynasty? Why are you sent to Southern Xinjiang? And Southern Xinjiang is not controlled by the Murong family, why can the court Send officials over there?"
