The Big Dipper is tilted, the morning rooster is called, and the snow is left in the chaotic city.
After the New Year's Eve, the streets were full of ashes and lamps, and it was very messy. Someone came out in the morning and swept the snow and sundries on the ground, and the bamboo broom scraped the ground to make a swish sound. When the sky was brighter, many people from the door came out and left homework leftovers at the door, expressing their desire to get rid of the old and welcome the new.
When Xu Zhen woke up, she was in a daze for a while before she realized that she had drunk the Pieces. She only remembered that she drank the pepper and cypress wine, but she couldn't remember what happened afterwards.
She went to the hall to drink tea.
The little beggar sat next to her and wiped the tea set. Many guests came to the house one after another. Everyone pushed open the wooden door and opened the curtain to enter the room, smiling and celebrating the new year with Xu Zhen.
The landlord of Hualou also came to pay New Year's greetings.
She came from Longmen just to meet Xu Zhen. As soon as she entered the door, she smiled and said: "Your family is really different for Chinese New Year."
Xu Zhen drank the tea and asked casually, "What's the difference?"
The landlord of Hualou said: "I have seen chickens and garlic hanging on people's door, but this is the first time I have seen someone hang a whole sheep on the door."
Xu Zhen almost spat out a sip of tea.
sheep? What sheep
Speaking of sheep, she happened to eat one with the little beggar yesterday, how could that sheep run to the door
Xu Zhen hurried to the gate, and there was indeed a sheep hanging on the gate, which was the skeleton left over from eating last night.
Xu Zhen was stunned.
There were neighbors around who came out to sprinkle salt and melt snow. After seeing Xu Zhen and the sheep skeleton at the door, they were also very shocked, either confused or hiding their faces with a smile and went back to the house.
Xu Zhen quickly removed the sheep skeleton, threw it back home, and went back to complain about it to the little beggar.
Xun Qianchun explained: "Mr. asked me to hang it up."
Xu Zhen didn't believe it: "How could I do such a stupid thing?"
Seeing that Xu Zhen didn't seem to want to admit it, Xun Qianchun nodded and said, "I got it wrong."
Seeing her being so obedient, Xu Zhen had to wonder if she really forgot something...
The owner of Hualou was still chatting with Xu Zhen there, asking how the book was sent that day in front of the two of them.
Xu Zhen blushed, and didn't want to mention this matter, so she found a reason to drive the owner of Hualou away.
There was no one in the house, so Xu Zhen wanted to ask the little beggar what stupid thing she did last night.
At this time, someone pushed the door and came in.
It was the irritable governor of Yongzhou who even ran to Xu Zhen's house today, said a few words of greeting, then threw some dried meat to Xu Zhen, and left with a grunt.
Xu Zhen sent him out and just sat down when he came back.
The students from Pingliang Academy ran over. They were the students who went to Hualou with Xu Zhen earlier, and they brought their sister to give Xu Zhen a gift.
The students left, and Ge Xier came over.
Ge Xier and Xu Zhen came here to celebrate the new year, and brought a pack of rapeseed. She is now an official, although she is young, she has received a lot of gifts because she works with the governor.
"I still remember that Mr. taught us at the time that being an official is not about being honest and decent, but the most important thing is to have policies and knowledge in mind." Ge Xier said, "The imperial examination is about to take place. In the past six months, I have thought a lot about how to govern the country. I hope that the policy can be approved by the Holy One."
Xu Zhen was quite curious when she heard her say this: "What is the strategy for governing the country?"
Ge Xier said: "Respect civil rights."
Xu Zhen nodded again and again: "Not bad, not bad, this is good."
Ge Xier smiled and said, "Sir, I also received letters from other students in the academy a few days ago. They knew that I was with you at the border, and they were very envious. They asked me to celebrate the New Year on their behalf."
Xu Zhen smiled: "It's great that they still remember me. I will write a letter another day to chat with you."
Ge Xi'er said: "Although not all of them passed the autumn test, there are still quite a few who have entered the imperial court as officials. A few days ago, Li Sanlang made great achievements in breaking the formation and was promoted to another rank. Now he is a military officer of the seventh rank. Entrusted with his grandfather's official position, he also often speaks in the court, which is loved by the Holy One."
When Xu Zhen heard about the situation of the students of Qinglongshan Academy, she was very excited. She laughed and said, "When I go back to Chang'an, I must ask them to treat me to a good meal."
Seeing Xu Zhen happy, Ge Xier laughed along with her.
Seeing this, Xun Qianchun put the tea set aside, with a calm face, got up and walked over, knelt down beside Xu Zhen, looked at Xu Zhen with such force that it made people breathless.
Although Ge Xier still wanted to have a chat with Xu Zhen, but seeing the bad atmosphere, she was silent for a while, not daring to be too presumptuous, so she had to leave first.
Xu Zhen got up and sent her out.
Then came two or three students, a few scholars, and a few soldiers from the water bird battalion.
These soldiers also brought a letter from Chang'an, and they passed by Longmen Post Station, and helped to send it to Pingliang by the way.
The New Year's letter was stained by melting snow, it was wet before, and now it is crumpled.
Xu Zhen opened it to look, and saw that it was a letter sent by Tang Yanzhi from Chang'an, which wrote the recent situation of the Ministry of Rites, and along the way included several greetings from students of Hongdu Academy.
Xu Zhen read it carefully and was very happy.
She leaned over to ask the little beggar who had received the letter.
Xun Qianchun said: "It belongs to an old man in Chang'an."
old friend? What kind of old friends can the little beggar have in Chang'an? Xu Zhen didn't have the nerve to ask, Xun Qianchun directly showed the letter to Xu Zhen, Xu Zhen looked at it and found that it was about Xun's family.
Not only did they talk about how the Xun family's old house was doing recently, but they also talked about the little beggar's wiring in Chang'an.
Unknowingly, Xun Qianchun knew many people in Chang'an, and planned many things secretly. The letter also said that if Xun Qianchun could make meritorious service in Pingliang, get an official position, and have a certain military force, he might be able to use this as a basis for talking and get a cliché from people with higher official positions.
Xu Zhen somewhat admires the person who wrote the letter, because this person has a thorough understanding. If it wasn't for his lack of status and strength, how could he possibly get out the truth.
If the little beggar becomes king in the future, it would be good to have such a person as a counselor.
Just as Xu Zhen was about to say something, she suddenly thought, why did the little beggar tell herself such a confidential matter?
She hurriedly drank a glass of water to suppress her shock.
In the initial stage of the villain's rebellion, was it like this
She looked at the little beggar, and said nervously, "Actually, I too..." She wanted to say that she was also plotting a rebellion, but it was too early to say, after all, there were no results, so she changed her mind, "Actually, you don't have to These things tell me that I also have a lot of things to hide from you."
Xun Qianchun's eyes looked indifferent and ethereal under the radiance of Bai Xue. With a smile on her lips, she looked at Xu Zhen and said, "Sir, I want to show everything about myself to you."
Xu Zhen was moved and didn't know what to say.
Xun Qianchun said: "Back then, Mr. should have known about my family being exterminated, right?"
Xu Zhen nodded: "Is it because His Majesty hates orchids that he deliberately arranged charges for your family?"
Xun Qianchun said: "I thought so too at first, but someone told me later that it was not the case."
Xu Zhen was slightly surprised. As a book transmigrator, she knew the setting in the novel. If she remembered correctly, the setting in it was indeed that the Holy One did not like barbarians. This setting had not changed until the heroine was reborn ten times. .
Didn't expect to have an inside story now
Could it be the butterfly effect after time travel? It shouldn't be, how could she have the ability to change the past. Thinking about it carefully, the current main task is to let her help the Xun family reverse the case.
It seems that this matter is really not simple.
Xu Zhen couldn't think of another reason. Could it be that Hu Ji's mother really tipped off the news
She asked the little beggar, "What is the truth?"
Xun Qianchun said: "Because my father killed the wrong person on the battlefield."
Xu Zhen asked suspiciously: "Killed the wrong person? The sword has no eyes, and if you kill the wrong person, you will kill the wrong person. Why did you become collaborating with the enemy and treason?"
Xun Qianchun shook his head.
Xu Zhen continued to ask: "So I killed the wrong person, and was framed by that person on purpose? This is different from what I know. Do you know who the wrong person was?"
Xun Qianchun said, "He's a barbarian."
Xu Zhen was stunned: "What?"
Xun Qianchun said: "It's the royal family of the Hu people. The Holy Majesty wanted to make peace with the Hu people, but my father didn't want to. He deliberately killed the children of the Hu people's royal family on the battlefield."
Xu Zhen asked: "The one who killed the leader's relatives? Then it's no wonder that peace can't be made until now. Besides, it's too twists and turns. What happened between Hu and Han is beyond my comprehension."
Xun Qianchun said: "Many things, once started, will only continue to deepen the crime."
Xu Zhen couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
She asked Xun Qianchun: "By the way, who told you these things?"
Xun Qianchun said: "My sister's friend."
Since the little beggar knew someone, Xu Zhen didn't worry too much.
What she is worried about is still the issue of overturning the case: "You know a lot of people now, is there any way for you to overturn the case?"
Xun Qianchun said: "I am neither filial nor righteous."
Xu Zhen asked, "What?"
After a moment of silence, Xun Qianchun said, "I don't think about it anymore."
As for why she didn't want to, she had already told Xu Zhen last night, so she didn't say it now.
There was still the smell of burning coals in the air.
Xu Zhen looked at the little beggar for a while, and saw that she didn't give a reason, thinking that the little beggar felt powerless and sad. So he leaned over and smiled and comforted him, "Don't think too much, I will support you no matter what you do."
Xun Qianchun's inner sorrow was dispelled, and he smiled.
Xu Zhen added: "Besides, you should continue to reverse the case. In fact, I am also trying to find a way to help you reverse the case. After all, this matter is against the entire court and the saint. If there is no solid evidence, it will be very difficult."
Xun Qianchun shook his head: "Sir, no need."
Xu Zhen said: "Why not? Your parents are already my parents, of course I have to reverse the case together."
Xun Qianchun pursed his lips slightly, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart, it felt warm before, but now it was sore and painful.
Sir, why is her husband so nice.
She hooked Xu Zhen's finger and wanted to raise her hand to kiss.
However, all of a sudden, last night, what Xu Zhen said about setting up a new emperor, who was appointed by Jiangshan, flashed through her mind.
What Mr. thinks is indeed broader.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but lower her head and think again.
Seeing her frowning, Xu Zhen made an out-of-the-ordinary grasshopper out of withered grass and gave it to her to make her laugh.
Illuminated by the cold lamp, the two figures kept shaking, close together and then separated. Finally, the fire went out and the lights went out, and they fell asleep amidst the laughter.
The first day when Pingliang gradually calmed down is about to pass.
Elsewhere, the first day is still lively at night.
At this moment, the stars are twinkling, and on the official road at the main entrance of Chang'an, two scholars in white robes and bamboo hats drive horses like dragons, breaking through the snow into the city.
The long lights of Chang'an spread all over the street, blooming and burning bright red.
The cavalry continued to roam mightily. The Holy Majesty was sitting in the chariot, his eyes downcast in meditation, he was playing with a plush ball, and beside him sat the well-dressed, upright and gentle queen.
The people stood on both sides to watch, the maids sprinkled flowers with their hands, and the guards held their swords in awe and listened to all directions.
The lively atmosphere continued.
The universe is turbulent, and the mountains and rivers are vast.
Amidst all the purple and red, the side door of the palace in the quiet alley was opened, and two white-robed scribes walked into the palace.
At the same time, the rest of the people in the palace were thinking about each other. Some stood in the attic and looked up at the stars, some lit up the lamps and cut red candles, some sat alone in the long corridor with tears in their eyes, and some looked back at their hometown.
The new year has come, but no one in the palace can sleep.
From this moment, in Chang'an City, black clouds gradually approached, and the violent wind that hadn't blown for a century was about to blow up turbulent waves.
The storm is coming—
The author has something to say: I didn’t update on time again, I’m so sorry, I’ll send out red envelopes for one more day to express my apologies.
Among the scribes entering the palace in Chang'an, one is an acquaintance and the other is a newcomer.
There are all kinds of things in the palace, the one who watches the stars at night is the national teacher, the one who cuts the candles is the concubine, the one who cries is the princess (I won’t tell you why you are crying), and the one who looks back at his hometown is Li Sanlang (has a party in the palace for dinner) )
