- Two hundred and five Mysteries
In the ninth year of Taichang, on August 23, it was dusk in Luojing.
There is no one on the long Tongji Street. The tall trees stand alone in front of the collapsed ruins, their branches and leaves dragging long shadows on the ground. As the motorcade passed by, sparse figures appeared in the ruins on the roadside looking around. There were faint sounds of crying and shouting in the distance, as well as a woman's scream for help.
Looking out of the car window, looking at the miserable scene of the bustling Tongtuo Street, Ye Canaan couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. She recited: "There are green willows and three dark springs, and there are many plays in the world of mortals. The east gate faces the golden horse, and the south road meets the bronze camel - this time, Luo Jing is ruined by the Murong family."
As the heir to the Ye family, Ye Canaan has been familiar with military books since she was a child and has a deep understanding of military strategy - or in other words, she thought she was familiar with military books and has a thorough understanding of military strategy - but she saw that Luo Jing, which used to be like a flower, was ruined like this by the mutiny. Even though she looked like that, she still couldn't help but sigh: "I wonder if the old wonton shop of Tangjia and the dessert shop of Mijia are still there? It's really a pity. I have nowhere to go shopping next time."
Butler Xu, who was sitting in the opposite seat, said with a smile: "Miss, the situation has been very chaotic recently, so you'd better not go out and walk around. When things calm down, I will accompany you for a long walk."
Ye Canan was waiting to answer, but at this moment, as if to comment on Uncle Xu's words, several dirty-clothed soldiers suddenly appeared on the road, and they rushed towards the carriage waving their swords. The horses pulling the cart were frightened and their hooves were raised, and the carriage was forced to stop on the road.
"Stop, stop!" The soldiers, wearing incomplete armor, stood in front of the carriage with ferocious expressions, and they knew they had bad intentions at a glance.
Ye Canan frowned and asked Uncle Xu: "Uncle Xu, which lieutenant general is this subordinate? Why are you so unruly and don't you recognize our family emblem?"
Uncle Xu squinted his eyes at the rebels outside the window, and said slowly: "This is hard to say. There has been a lot of chaos in Luojing these days. The Murong family has many soldiers and horses, and there are many who cannot be restrained. There are also Many people from the Yulin Army and the Soldiers and Horses Division have been dispersed, and we cannot talk to their superiors. There are also some ruffians in the city who are also running around doing evil - Miss, please stop reading. It stains your eyes."
Uncle Xu came over and helped Ye Canan close the curtain of the car window. Ye Canan turned his head obediently. In an instant, the piercing shouts of the rebels turned into intensive screams. Some were shouting for mercy, and some were wailing. But with the screams, the outside became quiet again, but there was a thick atmosphere in the carriage. The taste of blood.
Through the curtain of the car window, someone reported loudly outside: "To inform you, young master, the thief has been dealt with. My subordinates did not protect me well, which frightened the young master. I am willing to be punished."
Uncle Xu looked at Ye Canan, but saw that she just waved her hands lightly, so Uncle Xu said in a deep voice: "Guard Lang, young master is generous, let's continue on our way, don't delay any more."
"Yes, thank you young master, thank you butler!"
The carriage continued to move forward, and Uncle Xu opened the curtain of the window, and the wind with a burning smell suddenly blew in.
After what happened just now, Ye Canaan sighed with emotion: "Uncle Xu, you said, the current situation is so chaotic, dad still goes to the Yamen as usual every day, this is too dangerous."
"Haha, don't worry, miss. The stupid gang of thieves who didn't have eyesight just now are rare. Anyone who knows anything knows that our Ye family is not to be messed with. Didn't the master of the Murong family come here two days ago? Yet?"
The Murong family rebelled, Luo Jing was in chaos, and the rich and powerful people in the past have been reduced to prey. It is not uncommon for prime ministers to be beaten, ministers to be killed, and ministers to be robbed. Many princes and nobles have become prisoners of the lower ranks, but they are usually very low-key. Ye Jianxin, a third-grade imperial history editor, behaved as usual.
Every morning at nine o'clock every morning, Ye Jianxin's carriage still leisurely went to the cultural and historical museum to the Yamen on time, and returned from the cultural and historical museum to his official residence outside the city at noon. Even in the most chaotic days in Luojing, when rebels were raging across the city, looting and killing everywhere, whether it was the rebellious Jinwu Guard army or the imperial army, all forces kept a respectful distance from Ye Jianxin's carriage and did not dare to provoke it. .
Everyone understands this truth. No matter who becomes the emperor, the Ye family is a being that cannot be messed with. This was the case in the past and it is still the case now.
A few days ago, a brigade commander under the command of General Guo Chuanzhong of the Jinwu Guard stopped Ye Jianxin's carriage when he was patrolling the streets. The rebels wanted to grab a piece of it, but they caused a big disaster. The Ye family only came out with three warriors in green clothes, but they killed more than a dozen Jinwu Guards soldiers in the blink of an eye. Even the two tiger-style battle armors in the team were smashed to pieces - the whole battle was so fast that it could be described as lightning and thunder. , Ye Jianxin's carriage drove past as if it was nothing and did not stop at all.
What makes the rebels even more frustrated is that Ye Jianxin killed the Jinwu Guards. Not only did the Jinwu Guards not pursue the case, the Jinwu Guards Marshal MurongHe also punished Guo Chuan with a military stick, and then went to Ye Jianxin's house to apologize. When the news came out, the rebel army chiefs were horrified, and they all told their subordinates: "When you see the convoy with the five-petal plum blossom logo, don't mess with it!"
Of course Ye Canaan knew about this. She smiled and said, "I'm surprised too. The imperial court is gone and no one pays any salary. Why is dad still going to the Museum of Literature and History every day?"
"The master may have other plans for doing this, right?"
Ye Canan became interested, and she approached Uncle Xu: "Uncle Xu, tell me, what are dad's plans?"
"How can we, as servants, guess what the young master is thinking? If the young lady is interested, can't she just go home and ask the young master?"
Ye Jianan said in a disgusting voice: "Uncle Xu, just tell me! You know that people are most afraid of daddy, so how dare you ask him? If you don't say anything, they will pull your white beard. Really. "
Being pulled by Ye Jianan a few times, Uncle Xu couldn't bear the pain, and begged for mercy: "Oh, oh, oh, miss, please use some strength! My beard can't stand your tossing, the old slave said, Doesn¡¯t the old slave say it¡¯s not okay yet?¡±
Ye Canan let go and looked at Uncle Xu with great interest: "Uncle Xu, please hurry up and say it!"
"Ahem, the old slave is thinking, does the young master want to give a hint to the rebels by going to the Yamen every day? Let the Murong family know that our Ye family is not easy to bully. In this way, even if the Murong family takes power in the future, he Don't dare to go too far with us.
Miss, you have to know that these are troubled times. It¡¯s true that we have strength, but we have to let people know! In peacetime, we could keep a low profile, but not now! The more troubled the times, the more we must appear tough and not let others misunderstand us as weak. Otherwise, a lot of messy troubles will come to our door.
¡° If we contact the Murong family, there will be less trouble in the future, and there will be people who are willing to listen to what we say - just like your mission, Miss, it will be much easier to negotiate with the Murong family. "
Ye Canan smiled and said: "Dad always has a reason for doing things, but Uncle Xu, you don't have to talk about him so much, right? According to me, dad goes out every day, mostly because he can't help but want to join in the fun. So. If our Ye family is not involved in such a big matter, my father will feel very anxious!"
Uncle Xu laughed, but stopped answering.
The carriage moved forward, passed Tongji Street, and turned into the Imperial Street leading to the Imperial City.
On the night of the mutiny, Royal Street was the focus of repeated battles between the two armies, and the fighting was the most intense. Although it had been cleaned up afterwards, traces of the battlefield could be seen everywhere along the way, including road marks run over by heavy armors, roadside sculptures with half of them chipped, arrows everywhere, broken weapons and armors, and that Shocking pools of scarlet blood, towering government buildings along the road were also damaged by the fighting, and broken walls could be seen everywhere.
At the gates of important government offices such as the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ye Canaan had already seen soldiers standing guard. From time to time, officials in Tsing Yi came in and out, apparently sorting out the information inside.
Ye Canan looked at it very seriously and remembered it secretly in his heart. These details may seem inconspicuous, but they are an important sign, which means that the Murong family, who succeeded in the rebellion, has begun to convert military victory into economic victory, and they have begun to take over the power of the Wei Dynasty.
At the exit of Royal Street, a group of Jinwu Guard soldiers on duty stopped the carriage. Xu Bo got out of the car and negotiated with the officers leading the group for a while, and then they respectfully gave way to the road. Uncle Xu got on the carriage and reported to Ye Canan: "Miss, they said that General Murong is busy at the Ministry of Industry. I need you to move."
"Then go to the Ministry of Industry."
Ye Canan said, but the boss was puzzled in his heart. It is said that the mutiny had just succeeded and things were busy. Murong Yi didn't go to the Ministry of War to control military aircraft, and he didn't go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to search for silver, but why did he go to the Ministry of Works? Although the Ministry of Industry is also one of the six departments, it is the least important department, almost the same as the Ministry of Rites.
"Uncle Xu, tell me, why is Murong Yi going to the Ministry of Works? What time is it? Does he still have fun?"
"Haha, it's not unusual for General Murong to pay close attention to the Ministry of Industry. Miss, although the Ministry of Industry is the lowest among the six ministries, it has one most important thing"
Before Uncle Xu finished speaking, Ye Jianan suddenly realized and shouted: "I understand! Royal United Factory!"
"Exactly, the Royal United Factory is the production place of Doukai. The output of Doukai is directly related to the fate of the military and the country. How can the Murong family not be concerned?"
While talking, the carriage had already passed through Yu Street and arrived at the main entrance of the Ministry of Industry.
Perhaps because it was not the military aircraft department, the Ministry of Industry did not experience much fighting during the battle that night, and the construction was still?Okay. When the carriage drove there, Xu Bo jumped out of the carriage first and said to the guard standing at the door: "We have made an appointment in advance. The Ye family people want to see Mr. Murong."
Seeing the carriage with the five-petal plum blossom Ye family logo, the guards did not dare to neglect and immediately went in to report. Soon, a young man wearing a red military commander's robe walked out quickly. It was Murong Yi, the eldest son of the Murong family.
Seeing the tall old housekeeper standing beside the carriage, Murong Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Uncle Xu, why did you come here in person? If something happens, just send someone over to say no. Uncle Xu is still coming back and forth at such an old age. How can I afford to run around?"
"Haha, Mr. Murong is so considerate, how dare I become a servant? This time, I am waiting for the young lady at home to come to you."
Murong Yi frowned slightly: "The young lady at home?"
He then smiled and said: "Oh, is it Miss Ye Zijun? I've heard that the father-in-law found his lost daughter and reunited his flesh and blood. This is really a happy event!
It¡¯s really rude to say that it¡¯s such a big happy event for my father-in-law. Because I have been busy recently, I didn¡¯t go to visit and congratulate him. I¡¯m really ashamed. So, Miss Ye is in the car? Murong Yi is waiting for you. "
Xu Bo smiled, turned around, opened the car door, bent down and said respectfully: "Miss, we have arrived. Mr. Murong is waiting for you. Please get out of the car."
Murong Yi stood with his hands behind his back, his appearance was dignified and his smile was kind, but in fact, he was already unhappy with the boss in his heart.
Murong Jiabo Lang succeeded in one attack, and the top position was already within reach. The Murong family now is no longer the second-rate family that was ostracized and despised in the past. Now, the Murong family controls the capital and is striving for the supreme position of the Wei Dynasty. Although Murong Yi has always been modest and low-key, people are not saints, and it is inevitable that with the change of status, his mentality will also unknowingly undergo some unexplained changes.
" If Mr. Ye comes in person, that's okay. Mr. Ye is the elder, so he can just wait. But for an illegitimate daughter they had just picked up to put on such airs in front of them, the Ye family went too far. . .
But when he saw the woman jumping out of the carriage, all the dissatisfaction thoughts in Murong Yi's heart were immediately thrown out of the sky. His mind went blank and he cried out: "Canaan! You are Canaan!"
That familiar face, that slender figure, had lingered in Murong Yi¡¯s dreams many times, but when he woke up, only the pillow was wet with tears.
At this moment, Murong Yi forgot his own status, the noble status of the other party, and even the etiquette and demeanor of all nobles. He was very frightened, fearing that what appeared in front of him was a phantom, so he rushed up quickly, trying to grab the other person's hand, while shouting: "Canaan, is this you?"
Startled by his sudden approach, Ye Jianan took a step back. Murong Yi wanted to chase after him, but at this time, Xu Bo calmly took a step forward, blocking the way between Murong Yi and Ye Jianan. between.
Uncle Xu coughed dryly: "Mr. Murong, have you recognized the wrong person? This is Miss Ye Zijun, the second young lady of our family. She looks like Miss Canaan, but she is indeed not Miss Canaan."
As if being poured down by a basin of cold water, Murong Yi felt cold all over. He said in despair: "Sheshe is not Canaan? Impossible, she obviously is! I know Canaan, there is no way I can admit my mistake!"
Ye Jianan smiled brightly, and she stepped forward to greet him, saluting gracefully: "Hello, Brother Murong, this is the first time we meet, this is Ye Zijun. Brother, I have admired you for a long time."
Is she really not Ye Canaan?
Although there was excitement in his heart, Murong Yi came from a wealthy family after all, and his good upbringing and influence finally took effect at this moment. He replied nonchalantly: "Xianmei Zijun, Brother Yu has heard of you too. I was really rude just now How is Mr. Ye doing?"
"My father is in good health. Thank you for your concern, brother."
When Ye Canan was talking, Murong Yi stared at her carefully. The more he looked at her, the more confused he became.
Although the woman in front of her looks very similar, her bun and clothes appear to be younger than Ye Canan's, and her speech and behavior are far less sophisticated than Ye Canan's. She exudes the freshness of a novice. Moreover, Ye Canan is in Dongping's death in battle was something he had personally experienced, and there was no way it was false.
But, how could there be such similar people in the world?
Noticing Murong Yi's gaze, Ye Jianan smiled sweetly: "Brother, do you still think I am Sister Canaan? Many people say that I resemble Sister Canaan, but I have never met Sister Canaan. It is a pity. I There are already some similarities with my sister. We have a deep love for each other and miss her all the time. The three-point similarity seems like a ten-point similarity. Brother Murong, what kind of person is Sister Canaan?"
Knowing that it was rude of him to stare at a young woman like this, Murong Yi quickly withdrew his gaze and lowered his head slightly: "I'm sorry, they are indeed very similar. Ye Jianan Sigh, Miss Zijun, your sister is a great person. A woman. She passed away unfortunately, and many people - including me, of course - miss her very much. She was an amazing heroine, and if she hadn't been so jealous of her beauty, she would have been able to create great achievements."
Ye Canan pursed his lips and smiled silently. It is really rare for a living person to hear his own posthumous evaluation with his own ears. Happily, Murong Yi spoke highly of herself and called herself a "great heroine", which made her feel happy.
The two exchanged pleasantries at the door, and Murong Yi invited Ye Canan and Uncle Xu in to drink tea and talk in detail. The three of them entered through the main entrance of the Ministry of Industry and passed through the courtyard and various official offices. As they walked in, the courtyard of the Ministry of Industry was very messy. There were mountains of volumes and broken furniture everywhere. The documents were piled on the road like mountains and even blocked their way. A large group of soldiers and officials were busy like ants in the Wenshan Mountain, moving the countless documents and classics around and sorting them out in batches.
Murong Yi led the two of them into the signing room next to the main hall of the Ministry of Industry. This room was quite tidy.
Murong Yi explained a little embarrassedly that because he had just taken over and was cleaning up, the place was a bit messy, so please don¡¯t take offense to Xianmei.
Ye Canan smiled and said nothing.
Murong Yi called the guards to come over and make tea, but Ye Jianan stopped him: "Brother, don't bother. Brother Shi has just established his great cause, and we are busy with things, so we don't dare to disturb him for too long. I took the liberty to come here today because I just have some trivial matters to think about." Please, Brother Shi, I hope Brother Shi can help me, we in the Ye family are very grateful."
Murong Yi raised his sword eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Xianmei's words are serious. The friendship between our two families is unusual. If Xianmei has something to do, just tell her directly. If Brother Yu can do it, then it is naturally his duty to do so."
"So, the little girl is not polite." Ye Jianan smiled sweetly: "We heard that Bai Wusha, the former general governor of Dongling Guard, is now in the hands of the world brother?"
Murong Yi knew the other party's intention as soon as he heard it. He was a big-hearted person and did not bother to do that kind of prevarication. He said in a deep voice: "That's right. Bai Wusha doesn't understand the destiny and is stubborn. He uses his arms like a chariot to reject my king's master. Now he has been defeated and captured by our army. When Xianmei mentions this person, does she want to help him plead for mercy? "
Ye Canaan gently tapped Qiong's head: "Brother, I know it clearly. Bai Wusha resists the king's master and is indeed destined to die. But considering the friendship between this person and my father for more than twenty years, my father can't bear to see something happen to him like this." My little sister came here just in the hope that Brother Shi would take the friendship between our two families into consideration and give Bai Wusha a way out. We, the Ye family, are very grateful."
Murong Yi couldn¡¯t help but sigh, Bai Wusha¡¯s luck was so good. First, Meng Ju from Northern Xinjiang, and now people from the Ye family came to plead for him. Normally, the Ye family and Meng Ju would not be very important, but now, the Murong family has enemies on all sides, and its foundation is unstable. The hostile forces can win over one by one, and neither the Ye family nor Meng Ju can be offended.
Although Meng Ju is far away in Northern Xinjiang, he is an important chess piece to contain Tuoba Xiong in Northern Xinjiang and an important ally of the Murong family. He has to give face to him; let alone the Ye family. Although the Ye family They are very low-key, but this does not mean that they are unimportant - on the contrary, the terrifying combat power of the Ye family's Awakening Master Legion is a terrifying force that is enough to scare any enemy. It's just that the Ye family has always pursued a neutral policy of not participating in government affairs, which makes their threat very low, but once they express their attitude, it is enough power to influence the situation.
Murong Yi even felt that as long as the Ye family was willing to stand up and support the Murong family, the Wei Dynasty would be pacified. Whether it is Tuoba Xiong in northern Xinjiang or Pu Liying on the Jianghuai front in the south, there is nothing to worry about.
He pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Miss Ye doesn't know something. Bai Wusha is really a hateful person. If he is just a fool and a loyal pretender, then that's fine. He fulfills his duty as a minister, so we won't embarrass him. But. He had ulterior motives. After the death of the false emperor, he actually wanted to support King Qi to ascend the throne and continue to defy our master. He also tried to ally with Gao Huan and others to cover King Qi's escape, which really caused us a lot of trouble."
Ye Canan smiled and looked at Murong Yi calmly.
Murong Yi's heart stirred: Even the slight smile on the other side's head was just like Ye Canaan's. Under the gaze of those bright eyes, he really couldn't say no.
"Originally, Bai Wusha has done so many evil things. He is at the top of our army's must-kill list and there is absolutely no possibility of forgiveness. But now that Mr. Ye has spoken, we respect him very much. In addition, Miss Ye, you are so beautiful. Come in person, if that¡¯s the case"
Murong Yi pondered and put on a very embarrassed look: "This matter really makes me a little embarrassed. Let's take a long-term view."Come on. But we can promise the father-in-law that we will not kill Bai Wusha before notifying the father-in-law. "
Ye Canan bowed slightly: "It's all thanks to Brother Shi's help. Before I came, my father had already said that as long as Brother Shi can let Bai Wusha go, our Ye family can guarantee that Bai Wusha will never be in trouble with the Murong family again. "
Murong Yi nodded, but he was noncommittal. He changed the topic and no longer mentioned Bai Wusha's matter, but instead brought up the current affairs. He asked easily, the current situation was chaotic and the world was uneasy. Regarding the overall situation, did the Ye family have any advice?
Ye Canan said very brightly: "The Wei Dynasty has always been the country's world. Our Ye family also understands this. The Murong family is the descendant of His Majesty King Wu. It is orthodox and has won the hearts of the people. If the Murong family We are very supportive and very happy that the chaos can be calmed down and order restored as soon as possible, and we will continue to support the new regime."
Murong Yi nodded frequently when he heard this, and there was a strange light in his eyes when he looked at Ye Canaan. This woman, not only looks and temperament similar to Ye Canaan, but even her talent is on par with Ye Canaan.
In her answer just now, she explained the Ye family¡¯s position very appropriately and clearly: We, the Ye family, will not get involved in the fights between you Xianbei people. As long as your Murong family can stand firm, then our Ye family will naturally support you. But if you, the Murong family, don't live up to expectations, then of course there's nothing to say.
Murong Yi nodded, but let out a long sigh: "Although our Murong family has great ambitions to reorganize the great power of the Wei Dynasty, there are many obstacles and the road ahead is full of thorns. I think back then, when His Majesty King Wu raised his troops in Wulihai, it was just the right time. It was Mr. Ye Qinghuai's assistance that enabled us to achieve the hegemony of the Wei Dynasty for three hundred years. Murong Yi is not talented, but he recalls the demeanor of his predecessors and wants to imitate them. I wonder if Miss Ye is sincere in helping?"
Ye Canan smiled and stood up: "A little girl has no virtue or talent, and has little knowledge. She does not understand such military and national affairs. If Mr. Murong wants to talk, it is best to discuss this matter with my father." It's appropriate. Mr. Murong is busy with affairs, so I won't delay you in dealing with important matters, so I'll take my leave now."
Ye Canan bowed slightly and bent down to say goodbye. Murong Yi was stunned for a moment and stood up: "Let me see Miss Ye out."
Everyone said goodbye politely at the door of the Ministry of Industry's official office. When leaving, Murong Yi suddenly said: "Miss Ye, we have just received news that the remnants of Tuoba in Northern Xinjiang, and the Northern Xinjiang frontier army headed by Tuoba Xiong, intend to King Qin went south to compete with my family for the world. If Tuoba Xiong's army really enters the capital, we all share the same hatred. I hope the Ye family can help me."
Ye Canaan glanced at him suspiciously, with doubts in his heart. Today, this is the second time that Murong Yi mentioned that he hopes the Ye family can help. Judging from his understanding of Murong Yi, he is decisive and bright in dealing with things and is not a stalker. He should not bring up the same topic. twice. And when talking about Tuoba Xiong, Murong Yi seemed very confident, as if he was sure that the Ye family would definitely agree to him. Where did he get his confidence?
He said they share the same hatred and hatred? Does the Ye family have any grudge against the Northern Xinjiang general named Tuoba Xiong?
"Mr. Murong, I will definitely tell my father the truth about what you said."
"So, here is Miss Lao Ye - oh, by the way, I almost forgot, Governor Meng Zhen of Dongping asked me to send my regards to Mr. Ye and Miss Ye."
"Governor Meng?" Ye Jianan frowned slightly. She had a vague impression of this name - oh, I remember, it was the young Dongling Guard general who behaved strangely. She still remembered that her father lost his temper after he left last time.
Murong Yi looked at him with bright eyes, obviously thinking that Ye Canan had understood what he meant. This made Ye Canan feel very awkward because she didn't know anything.
At this time, Murong Yi specifically mentioned this Northern Xinjiang general. What was his intention?
She didn¡¯t want to show her timidity, so she nodded calmly and said, ¡°Thank you, Governor Meng, for your kindness, and also thank you, Mr. Murong. I¡¯m leaving, little sister.¡±
"Miss Ye, walk slowly - uh, Luo Jing has been quite chaotic recently. Can I take you back, Miss Ye?"
Murong Yi actually hoped to have more contact with this woman who looked exactly like Ye Canaan, but the other party politely and resolutely declined: "Brother is busy with business, and I really don't dare to bother him. Fortunately, the servants accompanying him are quite capable. It should be safe, thank you very much for your concern, brother."
Ye Canan's carriage gradually disappeared on the night street. Murong Yi stood there, feeling lost. What appeared in front of his eyes was Ye Canan's bright eyes. A doubt slowly fermented in his chest: "She is really Isn¡¯t it Ye Canaan?¡± - Didn't finish reading?
