"Look." In a workshop outside Deshengmen, just north of the capital, among a dozen men who were sitting around and chatting under the locust tree that had turned yellow and started to lose its leaves, one person suddenly stood up.
He turned around, pointed at the black shadow flying quickly above them and shouted in a low voice.
"Carrier pigeon?" One of them narrowed his eyes and looked up at the black figures that gradually flew away from his sight. There was a lot of excitement in his calm voice. "It seems that today's things should not be trivial. In the past, most
There were only two or three, but today five were released at once."
"Could it be that..." The other dozen people couldn't help showing a bit of joy on their faces, and their eyes were communicating with each other.
"They should be ready to take action." One of them cleared his throat and took a deep breath. The muscles full of explosive force stretched the clothes on his body tightly, like a beast about to go out to hunt.
of ferocious beasts.
"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this matter. The lunch break is over. Let's go back to work. Don't forget our current identities." The big man who told the number of homing pigeons stood up and gave him a stern look.
He scanned the people around him. "Before receiving the order, no one is allowed to act in a way that is inconsistent with our current status. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Dozens of strong and strong men all stood upright and solemnly accepted orders from the man who was clearly the leader. Their responses were as neat as one person's. And these strong and burly men stood in such neat postures that they
There is no trace of the arrogance that he had when he was just talking nonsense, but he looks like a group of hard-blooded soldiers who have been in the army for a long time.
"Okay, disband!" After the leader of the big men also stood at attention solemnly, he waved his hand and watched these subordinates quickly disperse and disappear behind the doors of the small courtyard. Then he took a deep breath and turned around.
He walked into the inconspicuous small room in the courtyard, locked the door from the inside, and then opened up the quilt on the bed, and then pulled off the wooden board above, revealing the large wooden box under the bed.
With a strong movement of his big hand, he opened the heavy box lid, revealing what was inside the box. It was a sword hidden in a sheath.
And he took another jar of oil, pulled out the swords one by one from the sheaths, and used the oil to maintain the shining swords. The calm and steady movements continued, but,
At this moment, his eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit.
-------------------
And this kind of situation occurs repeatedly in many places inside and outside the capital, including inns, carriage and horse shops, workshops, escort agencies, and even in the residences of some officials...
"I hope your Majesty can receive it as soon as possible." At this time, in an inconspicuous courtyard in Huichang Bo Mansion, looking at the sky where no trace of carrier pigeons could be seen, Sun Jizong let out a sigh of relief and turned his face.
Looking at the man next to him who was dressed like a servant in Huichang Bo's house, Yuan Bin smiled and said. Sun Jizong's second brother Xianzong also stood aside, looking at the sky in trance.
"Yes, time is tight and opportunities are fleeting. I hope your majesty can come here in time." Yuan Bin nodded, the expression on his face did not show any anxiety, and turned his face to respect Sun Jizong.
The head of the land gave a salute. "My lord, I have some important matters to deal with, so I will take my leave now. If there is anything else, I will trouble you two adults."
"It doesn't matter, we are all serving the Emperor, so what's the trouble? It's you who can only continue to feel wronged these days." Sun Jizong waved his hands indifferently and said with a smile.
Looking at Yuan Bin's hurried away figure, Xianzong, who had been silent just now, couldn't help but said to his elder brother: "Your Majesty is really lucky to have a talent like Yuan Bin by your side."
Sun Jizong stroked his long beard and nodded: "Haha, yes, speaking of it, there are quite a lot of talents around your majesty now, whether it is Ha Ming, who has spread his business all over the country in just two years.
, or maybe it’s Yuan Bin, who is both civil and military, and has great strategies, and there are also powerful generals in the army like Yang Jun and Shi Biao..."
"I really didn't expect that two years have passed in the blink of an eye. What I didn't expect even more was that His Majesty actually reversed the extremely unfavorable situation and created the great situation today. I really hope that His Majesty can come back soon.
." Xianzong nodded, looking at the autumn leaves that had fallen to the ground, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"I will definitely do it." Sun Jizong nodded with great certainty as if he was cheering himself up. "By the way, how is the emperor doing now?"
"Brother, you can rest assured. The news about Eunuch Xing'an Xing will not be wrong." When talking about important matters, the expression on Sun Xianzong's face became serious. "The Emperor woke up once last night, but fell asleep again.
There are still no signs of improvement. According to the news from Eunuch Xing, the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital are struggling to prescribe nourishing and soothing medicines because the Emperor's body is so weak."
"The deficiency is not replenished. Haha, even a young and energetic strong man will not get much better after being addicted for such a long time. What's more, today's physique has always been weak, plus... Haha, it's a pity that we are here
There are no reliable people in the hospital."
"Brother, don't worry too much. Although today's illness is not fatal, he can only rest for a long time. This is the best opportunity. What's more, today's emperor really doesn't trust foreign ministers.
Internal officials, haha, he may not have thought that Eunuch Xing and Eunuch Cao would have already turned to our side." As soon as Sun Xianzong mentioned these two people, the expression on his face couldn't help but become a little more excited. "It's a pity that Yang
The Grand Governor has remained silent, which is quite different from his previous attitude. I really don’t know what this means?”
"Haha, Commander-in-Chief Yang was worried that His Majesty would be upset and take such measures to appease the emperor, so he never expressed his attitude." After pondering for a while, Sun Jizong said with a slight hesitation.
"Well, what you said, brother, does make sense. Except for a few officials, there are quite a few people who maintain this attitude." Sun Xianzong nodded suddenly. "After all, no one wants to see that kind of old thing happen again."
"But His Majesty the Emperor would definitely not do that. Otherwise, he would not have allowed Yuan Bin and others to sneak into the capital first, and he would not have been waiting around Mantao'er for news." Sun Jizong was in the small courtyard.
He stopped in front of the door. "Your Majesty is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty after all, and what you have in your heart is the country, the country, the country, and the millions of people of the Ming Dynasty."
"It is the greatest pride of our old Sun family that my sister can have such a son." Sun Xianzong couldn't help but laugh heartily.
