Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    An important purpose of Yuan Chao's visit this time is to see if he can be lucky enough to meet Ye Chang and get Ye Chang's advice.  He is also ambitious. Although he says he hopes to meet Ye Chang's men, he actually wants to get a chance to be alone with Ye Chang and ask Ye Chang for some tips on how to make a fortune.  He is from Taizhou, a place with convenient shipping and rich silk production. It has a traditional merchant style.  He met Wang Qinian by chance, and when he saw his wealth, he felt envious.  Although he is a small official, when it comes to ostentation and extravagance, even their county governor is far from Wang Qinian.  "My conscious ability is no worse than Wang Qinian's, the only difference is the opportunity. This time I come to Chang'an, I have to take a chance on this opportunity."  After finishing their business, they still needed to stay in Chang'an for a while to wait for a reply. Taking this opportunity, Yuan Chao and Yuan Ying inquired all the way to Ye Chang's house.  When he arrived at the door of Ye Mansion, he was stunned. Yuan Ying beside him even smacked his lips: "I accompanied my brother to the Yamen the day before yesterday, and I have never seen such a look. It's not that Ye Gong has offended the emperor, but now he is even more  Being left out, you can't even go to the Hot Spring Palace? But why are there still so many people in front of Ye Chang's door?  The two-foot-long rectangular block is specially used for temporary parking of carriages and sedans. In front of Ye Chang's house, these parked carriages and sedans are lined up for half a mile. There are also horses tied to the roadside. Yuan Ying forgets it.  After a long time, it was calculated that there were thirty or forty horses. This meant that there were hundreds of people waiting in front of Ye Chang's door, which was almost the same as the people in front of the prime minister's door. "It was lively.  How can we brothers go in and ask for an audience?  "Yuan Chao came back to his senses and said with a wry smile. "I originally thought that Ye Chang was neglected by the emperor and was a cold stove. If he came to warm up the cold stove, it would be easier for him to win Ye Chang's favor. Now it seems that they don't even want to send him a cold stove.  Now, Ye Chang's influence is no longer because of Li Longji, but on himself. Yuan Chao is extremely envious. It would be great if he could be so powerful. "Brother, we are here.  Wait, how about we step in?  "After waiting for a while, they reluctantly moved forward. Yuan Ying found it lively at first, but now she was extremely bored. She asked Yuan Chao. "Where did this country bumpkin come from to say such stupid things?" Yuan Chao also said  Without opening a word, someone was already talking behind them. The two of them turned around and saw a man in a green hat with disdain on his face. When they looked at them, the man laughed: "Why, no.  Convinced?  I don¡¯t even want to ask where this place is. This is the queue in front of the Ye Mansion. Even if they are not envoys from princes and noble families, they are still shopkeepers from wealthy merchants in the capital. At worst, they are all talented people who came to Beijing to invite names. You two,  Dare you join their team?  " "So what if it's inserted?  "Yuan Ying has a bad temper, and she is the most despised by others. She said sternly. "So you are a country bumpkin, and there is nothing wrong with jumping in line. Just go and try it.  "The man encouraged. "Although Yuan Ying has a bad temper, she is not stupid. There are so many messengers from big shots, and they all queue up honestly. Obviously, if they jump in line, there will be no good results. He glared at the man, mouthing.  He muttered something in Taizhou dialect, which the man couldn't understand, but he knew it wasn't a good word. The man glared back, but he said something bad in his heart, hoping to provoke these two country bumpkins into causing trouble.  If you drive them away, you can move forward, but you never thought that these two bumpkins looked stupid and would not be fooled. Anyone who has dealt with Ye Chang knows very well that Ye Chang does not like order.  He likes chaos. So, if you ask for a meeting in front of his door, you should queue up honestly. If the person who jumps in line is discovered, even the messenger from the princess's palace or the prince's palace will not be able to step into the door of Ye Chang's mansion today. This is a dead rule.  If there is an emergency, you can jump in line, but you still need to report it to the concierge. The concierge will judge whether the matter is really urgent. After waiting in line for half a day, Yuan Ying became more and more impatient when he saw that the line was still very long.  The same is true for Chao, and he knows that in such a long queue, even if it is his turn, it is still unclear whether Ye Chang will see him. After all, it is a big deal for him to ask for advice, but it is not relevant to Ye Chang at all.  Looking at this, Ye Chang is too busy to keep his feet on the ground at the same time. He has no time to care about the few people who come to see him from afar.  Come in a few days.  " He said to Yuan Ying. Yuan Ying was a little aggrieved: "We have come a long way, and we should have been allowed to see him first. Although this Lord Ye is famous, he is not the one who respects heroes.  " "Don't talk nonsense.  "Yuan Chao shouted. After the two of them went back, they waited for a few more days. When they came back to Ye Chang's house, they were still full of people. They looked at each other, and Yuan Ying was a little discouraged: "Brother, it seems that this Mr. Ye, we  I can't see him anymore.  " "Don't worry, we are late today. We will get up before it gets dark next time. We can always catch up with everyone."Before," Yuan Chao said helplessly. "This time they didn't wait any longer. When they saw the crowd, they turned around and left. After a few days, they found out clearly that Ye Chang would be in the mansion the next day. In the morning of the next day, the curfew was imposed.  As soon as it was canceled, they went to the street and rushed to Guangdefang, where Ye Chang's residence was located. Sure enough, there were far fewer people in front of them when they came here today. The two of them went to the concierge to say hello, and the concierge was very polite.  They were waiting in the concierge. "We can finally see Mr. Ye. Brother, if we get Mr. Ye's guidance, can we be like Wang Qinian?"  "Yuan Ying said with great joy. "We in Taizhou are uniquely endowed with close sea and a good port. Our brothers are familiar with offshore construction and fishermen, so it is very easy to recruit people.  As long as Mr. Ye gives you guidance, even if you can't open up land for farming overseas like Wang Qinian, you will have no worries about being a rich man with enough grain.  "Yuan Chao said half in expectation and half in comfort. "If this is true, I will marry her and have three or five wives and concubines, spread her branches and leaves, and have many children and grandchildren, hahahaha" Yuan Ying swallowed hard as she spoke.  Yuan Chao also laughed. There were two groups of people in front of them. They all looked disdainful when they heard what they said. But at this moment, they saw someone.  He walked straight in from the outside and went to the concierge and said: "The people escorted from Anxi have arrived." When the concierge heard this, he stood up solemnly: "In that case, I am afraid that the Prime Minister will not be able to see foreigners today." When Yuan Ying heard this, he was very anxious: "No  Yes, it's hard to find me, but there are no outsiders?  " When he yelled, the concierge became a little annoyed. He turned around and glared at him: "Where is this place? It's not allowed to make loud noises. You should be careful." Yuan Ying was about to call again, but Yuan Chao pushed her back. Then  The concierge let the person who delivered the message in, which was regarded as a queue jumper. Seeing this, Yuan Ying's face turned red and purple, and she felt infinitely aggrieved. Yuan Chao knew that his brother was a straightforward man and had no evil intentions, so he held him back.  Don't let him cause trouble. After a while, a man came out and said to the concierge: "These guests, please go back first. The Prime Minister has something to do today and no outsiders can be seen."  " Yuan Chao was also extremely upset. This Mr. Ye is really hard to see. Yuan Ying jumped up suddenly and said loudly: "I will see you when you say you want to see me, and you won't see me if you say you don't. Ye Zhongcheng's airs are too high.  Big" He shouted, and the rest of the people who were anxiously waiting couldn't help but get restless. The concierge was angry when he saw his rude words, and stared at him and said: "What kind of dog dares to be rude here?  "Get out of here." Ye Chang's concierges are all veterans and wounded soldiers who followed him in the Northern and Southern War. Their hands and feet are a little clumsy and they can no longer do heavy work. The concierge's hamstring was severed in the fierce battle, so he walked with a limp.  Lame. Hearing him scolding himself, Yuan Yingji pointed at him and said: "You blind lame, a scornful creature, if I hadn't seen you break your leg, grandpa would have" Before he finished speaking,  , several people rushed in from outside the concierge, beat Yuan Ying to the ground with a punch, and then threw Yuan Chao out of Ye Mansion. The concierge limped out, looked at these two people, and sneered.  He said: "There are always blind people like you who dare to come to Ye Mansion to cause trouble Do you think you are a bad visitor?  If you want to fight, don't look at my background. Grandpa, when I chopped off the heads of barbarians and used them as footballs in Yunnan, you didn't know where you were hiding in the countryside." Yuan Chao's face was livid, and he still yelled and cursed when he saw Yuan Ying.  She followed him and left. Yuan Ying cursed all the way, and when she was far away from Ye Mansion, she suddenly remembered that she missed her own business today because she didn't hold back her temper. "Brother, it's my fault.  "He said with shame on his face. Yuan Chao snorted and ignored him, thinking in his mind how to solve the current problem. The concierge who offended Ye Chang clearly remembered their brothers when he came out. From now on,  It is almost impossible to ask for a meeting. Under such circumstances, how can Yuan Chao not feel resentful in his heart? They stood on the streets of Chang'an at a loss, not knowing what to do next, and then they saw two people.  More than ten riders came out from the direction of Yefu, followed Yanshoufang Street, arrived at Jinguangmen Cross Street, and then turned west. Among these people was Ye Chang, whom they had met from a distance. "He really had something to do when he left the house."  Ying also recognized Ye Chang and snorted: "It's nothing more than that. Raising such an unreasonable disciple is not as good as the rumors say." "It looks like he is going to the outside of the west city let's go and have a look too."  "Yuan Chao always has a glimmer of hope in his heart. Maybe he can stop Ye Chang and say a few words on the way. "Ye Chang is indeed going to the outside of the West City. After exiting the Jinguang Gate, there is Cao Canal, which is parallel to Cao Canal.  There is a newly built track that stretches out to the west. The other end of this track is initially designated as Yumen. It was originally built to facilitate the deployment of troops and supplies to Longyou and Anxi, but it is not complete yet.  Repaired. The ten trains are stopping at this half-open track station.??,There were about hundreds of soldiers guarding outside the station.  In the dark carriage of a train, Khalid looked out from the gap in the carriage, then turned back and said to the corner of the carriage: "General, it depends on the situation, we have arrived." The person he was speaking to was none other than Ziad.  One of Ye Chang's biggest achievements outside the city was General Ziad.  He was escorted thousands of miles away to Chang'an, and with him were 1,500 prisoners.  Many of these captives who arrived in Chang'an first were nobles, high-ranking officials, generals, leaders from Dashi, Hezhong, and Tochar, as well as their personal soldiers. Ye Chang's purpose of driving them here years ago was originally for  Flattering Li Longji will make him happy in the New Year.  Unexpectedly, he had a conflict with Li Longji because of Shou'an's marriage. Although he was released from prison, this flattery seemed useless.  Ziad hid in a dark corner, covering his face with his hands.  He was escorted as the most important prisoner of war, and with him were three kings of the river kingdoms, including Kuboti, the king of Anguo.  Along the way, Ziad was thinking about why he suffered a big defeat after a big victory, and what kind of power the Tang Dynasty relied on to curb the momentum of his victory and then turn defeat into victory.  That flood troubled him like a nightmare.  In his memory of previous battles, he had never made full use of the power of nature. At that moment, it seemed that the sky and the earth were on the side of the Tang people. "This is the revelation given to me by the true God. It must be so. He wants me to  Knowing that to the east of us, there are heretics and Kalephi who can control the flood, let us not waste our energy on the Byzantines in the west, but look back to the east" Even if he was a prisoner, he still followed the instructions  Follow the scriptures, pray on time, and never eat meat provided by the Tang people.  "There seems to be a dispute" Khalid said again.  "Disputes that's inevitable. Ye Chang is so arrogant that he even dares to arrest and exile his own boss. Have they had enough quarrels along the way?" Ziad's voice came from behind his palm:  "Khalid do you know how to defeat the Tang people?" "Yes, the general told us repeatedly along the way. We must fight the Tang people on vast flat areas to prevent them from using water or fire. We must use dense  The formation blocks the most courageous warriors of the Tang Dynasty. Don¡¯t be separated by their invasion.¡± Khalid recited the lessons learned by Ziad, and then said with a wry smile: ¡°General, what can we do even if we know how to defeat the Tang Dynasty?  "I failed. I have no chance to return to our hometown, because I am the commander-in-chief, and the Tang people will not let me go." Ziad put down his hand, with an angry light flashing in his eyes: "But you are different.  , you are just my personal guard general, as long as you pretend to be submissive, the Tang people will let you go, you can return to our country, and then lead the troops to avenge me." Khalid was stunned, never thinking about Ziad  There is even such a plan.  "You tooif you have a chance to escape, in the name of the true God, you must come back to avenge me," Ziad said to the rest of the people. ? Some people nodded, some disapproved, and some were numb.  Ziad sighed and said nothing more.
