Chapter Fourty Eight: Farewell

Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Gu Baiyi had to return 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, in order to let Gu Baiyi take a break when he was tight.

Gu Baiyi left everything, and 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 Qin Xiao entered Beijing, he had booked three rooms at the Sipingfang Changle Inn. After Du Hongsheng and Han Yunong were detained, the rooms have not been retired.

Qin Xiao had a huge amount of money, and it was easy to buy this Changle Inn. Naturally, he wouldn't care about the rent for a few days.

Kyoto’s inns are also particular.

One hundred and eight fangs, although they are all in Kyoto, have different levels.

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 public workshops. Some places with many shops are called city workshops. The places where people live are naturally called ministries. Fang.

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, you may not be able to walk for two days on foot. People need daily life. Naturally, it is impossible to buy them all from the East and West cities.

Therefore, there are often several folk squares around the city, and the middle one is set as a city square, allowing all kinds of businesses to operate. Singing, dancing and music workshops, as well as inns and restaurants, are mostly concentrated in the city squares, but within the folk squares, this is not allowed. This kind of business can only operate some essential commodities such as oil, salt, rice and medicine shops.

Qin Xiao wanted to find an inn in Huiyifang but couldn't find it, so he could only go back to Sipingfang Changle Inn.

Although Han Yunong asked him to leave Kyoto as soon as possible, even Gu Baiyi meant it, but Qin Xiao thought about it and decided to stay for a few more days. After all, Han Yunong is currently still in the Criminal Department. If anything happens, nothing but himself There may be others running for Han Yunong.

He was thinking about staying for a few more days, waiting for the Ministry of Justice to announce the results of the 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 initiation, realizing that the imperial court may send a team of soldiers out of Jiayuguan to enter Xiling to do a show, but it is absolutely impossible to really use Xiling.

This made him angry and helpless.

Even if Han Yunong is able to retreat from the military case, it is impossible for them to have the slightest influence on the imperial order. Since the adults in the imperial hall have given up Xiling, he and Han Yunong cannot reverse it at all. 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 had been procrastinating on the conquest of southern Xinjiang and had no aggressive intentions. Maybe the courtiers saw the heart of the emperor, so they followed the wishes of the emperor.

It is the emperor who really does not want to use soldiers.

If the emperor is thinking about the people's hardships 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 sages 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.

Protect

To prove the unity of the territories and eradicate all the forces that divide the territories, even if it is to pay a heavy price, as the emperor, he still has to fulfill his responsibilities.

The empire may not expand abroad, but it will never allow its territory to be divided.

But how many people in the world 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 was very familiar. Qin Xiao followed his prestige, 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. It has three floors. There is a corner on the first floor and there is also a tea room for people to come and visit. Shop guests can wait in the tea room.

At this time, it was Du Hongsheng who went to Beijing together to beckon to 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 excluded from the imperial court.

Although both of them walked out of Turtle City, they had almost no contact when they were in Turtle City.

After all, one is the county guard of Zhen County, and the other is a jailer. The status is very different, and it is difficult to have any chance to be together.

The Guicheng was lost, and Du Hongsheng became 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 department 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 city in Kyoto, Du Hongsheng is one of the few people he knows. 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. He stepped forward and said, "Seeing that you are safe and sound, my heart is at ease."

He had an injury on his shoulder, but he had already applied the wound medicine, and Qiuniang also bandaged him, so as long as he didn't move too violently, it wouldn't be a problem.

Du Hongsheng looked at Qin Xiao with a smile of joy on his face. He actually stretched out his hand, held Qin Xiao’s wrist, and said softly, “I’m leaving. Before I leave, I want to come and see you. You’re not in the inn. I thought about waiting for a while, if you really don’t come back, we won’t see you anymore."

"Going?" Qin Xiao was startled, and said in doubt: "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 will go to the southern Xinjiang Liuzhou Xiang County to serve as the county guard, and set off on the same day."

Qin Xiao was startled, 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 doubts in Qin Xiao's heart, but he was very calm and smiled: "Situ Butang has already

After asking the saint’s decree, and also issuing a transfer order, Xiangjun’s Niujun Shou is now very old, and the staff has already decided who should be more appropriate to replace it. This time I just came to Beijing, Situ Butang So I 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 don't know if I can offer you a goodbye drink before leaving?" Qin Xiao was a little depressed, but still smiled: "I'll see you this time. I don't know when I will see you again. ."

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 host and eat together. How about a potluck?"

The two officials glanced at each other, and one smiled and said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you eat. It's still early, so you won't delay leaving the city."

At the moment, the few people did not delay. When they arrived at the nearby restaurant, and just on the second floor, Qin Xiao had already put a piece of silver into the hands of the two officials, and they both had four or five weights. These two officials were the staff of the officials. Official, this time I was arranged to escort Du Hongsheng to Southern Xinjiang for his post. In fact, it was only two or three taels in a month. At this moment, the amount of money I got was more than a month's salary. Naturally, I was happy.

Although it is only a small official, but I don’t understand the rules of 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 at the side, you are free, we are outside. waiting."

Qin Xiao asked for a private room and one for two officials, who served food in two rooms.

When the food and wine were ready, Qin Xiaocai closed the door, returned and sat down next to Du Hongsheng, and asked in a low voice, "Master Du, what is going on?"

"Qin Xiao, things are almost over. The overall situation has been determined. We are lucky 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 listened. Said that if you didn’t go to the Xing Department to beat the big 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, but they are somewhat afraid of it, I too After 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 must be controlled as a chess piece, and Du Hongsheng was obviously frightened for many days. Qin Xiao didn't ask much about what he had experienced, so he could only ask softly: "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 said softly: "The staff was worried that the Ministry of War would pull them down and leave me at the staff's office, just in case. I prove that many officials of Yao Duhu and Xiling were fighting the rebels until their deaths, lest the Ministry of War would slap the blame on Yao Duhu and others, thereby pulling the officials into the water. However, since the Ministry of Criminal Affairs took action, the officials would also be involved. It’s safe. Don’t worry about Fan Wenzheng’s trouble with the staff. My chess piece is useless now. It may be a trouble to stay in Kyoto, so Situ Butang sent me away as soon as possible."

"But why is it southern Xinjiang?" Qin Xiao frowned, "In the eighteen states of Datang, where can't you be settled, why send you to southern Xinjiang? And southern Xinjiang is not controlled by the Murong family, why can the court go there? Send an official?"
