In the night, with the cold wind blowing, the red lotus in the pool is shaking, just like the surging sea of fire, which is very beautiful.

Xu Qi'an took a deep breath and smelled the fragrance.

"Yunzhou is mountainous, but it's not as lush and miasmatic as southern Xinjiang. The mountain is rich in herbs and products. " Looking at the red lotus in the pool, the Ziyang resident continued: "Yunzhou also has fertile farmland and abundant water. Although the annual rice production is not as good as that of Yuzhou and Zhangzhou, which are known as Dafeng granaries, Yunzhou's annual rice production is more than enough to support the people of the two states."

... sounds like Yunzhou should be hilly. Xu Qi'an nodded suddenly.

Among the five continents, hills are the most fertile and productive. The so-called land of fish and rice in the last life was in the Southern Hills.

Yuzhou and Zhangzhou, the two Dafeng granaries, belong to the plain, while Southern Xinjiang is a mountainous terrain, with mountains everywhere and few fertile fields.

Ziyang Ju Shi said in a deep voice: "Yunzhou has another geographical advantage. It is close to the South China Sea, so you don't have to worry about being attacked on both sides. To say the least, I can't do it. I can set sail.

"The friction between wushenjiao and Dafeng at the border is becoming more and more serious. If they want to create civil strife and let Dafeng worry about himself, it is a wise move to choose Yunzhou."

When you say that, how do I feel that this trip to Yunzhou is a group extinction trip? Bah, bah, Tong yanwuji, Tong yanwuji...

"don't worry," as if seeing through Xu Qian's worry, Ziyang Jushi said with a smile: "although Dafeng's problem is very serious, it's still calm, and the majesty of the court is still there.

"Even if the sorcerer religion is plotting in Yunzhou, it only dares to hide in the dark, not in the open. During this period of time, I have nothing to do. After several eagles, I will send you one back. If there is an emergency in Yunzhou, I can use eagles to deliver letters. It's faster than the post road. "

But no matter how fast, it will take several days to come back... Sure enough, there is no sense of security in the world without mobile phones. If only we had a piece of book fragments in hand... Xu Qi'an said gratefully, "thank you for your kindness."

After a pause, he asked, "what should I do when I go to Yunzhou?"

"To investigate the case well is to protect Zhang Xingying. As for official communication, you don't have to worry about it." "Since Wei Yuan appointed Zhang Xingying as governor, he would not be an ordinary person," he said with a smile

Xu Qi'an nodded.

After finishing the business, the Ziyang resident pondered for a moment and said, "I often have correspondence with Jinyan, in which you are mentioned from time to time. You're also half a student of Yunlu Academy. I heard that the Academy was clear a few months ago

Who are you? Oh, it's Erlang's teacher, great scholar Zhang Shen... Because he's not used to addressing words, it took Xu Qi'an a few seconds to know who "Jinyan" is.

What does Ziyang Jushi mean by this? Yunlu academy didn't tell him the truth? Or does he know that I did it, and he said this to give me a hint, but it's not necessary to hint... It's the correspondence that can't be kept secret, so the great Confucians of Yunlu academy just mentioned it in the letter, but didn't tell the truth?

"It seems that this matter has been listed as the top secret by the Academy," he said after deliberation. "The Yasheng academy has been banned so far, and no one is allowed to enter."

Speaking of this, Xu Qi'an can't help thinking of Yasheng, who is a great man, because he always stands behind his wife.

Ziyang Ju Shi nodded slightly, did not ask.

On the contrary, Xu Qian wanted to consult the great Confucian. After thinking about it, he planned to ask the first question:

"teacher, some time ago, because of the Sangbo case, I challenged night reading and looking through history books. I found that before our first assistant destroyed Buddhism, he called out the slogan" Buddhism is immortal, all Buddhas are in the world ".

"After that, the first assistant was promoted to the top. The students think that Buddhism, even if it has all kinds of disadvantages, is a well-known and orthodox school. Buddhism is immortal, all Buddhas in the world... Is it too extreme? "

Xu Qian didn't know the difference between the Buddhism in this world and the Buddhism in previous generations. There was no Buddha in this world, only one Buddha.

But anyway, Buddhism is not a cult.

"It's a matter of secrecy, and I don't know." Ziyang Jushi road.

You don't know. How do you know it's about secrecy? Xu Qi'an was forced to bear it.

Ziyang Ju Shi "ha" A: "the president knows."

Xu Qi'an's second question was why there were stone sculptures of Confucian sages in Jiyuan of Southern Xinjiang, but he gave up the idea of asking.

Xu Qi'an, who lives in the capital, should not know that there are sculptures of Confucian sages under the abyss, even if the excuse of "I have a friend" is not enough.

It's impossible for the watchman to know about it.

...

after returning to the post station, Xu Qi'an took a cold bath, and then went back to his room to sit and take a picture.

Qingzhou is adjacent to Yunzhou. If you start from here, you can get to Yunzhou in three or five days. Even considering governor Zhang's weakness, you can get to the border of Qingzhou in about a week.

"We can just use this time to impact the spirit refining realm. I didn't sleep for ten days. When I was an ordinary man, I achieved 72 hours of success in Internet cafesThe next day, the chief envoy Yang Gong summoned the masons to engrave four warning poems on the ring tablets in the front courtyard of each Yamen in Qingzhou.

Up to the magistrate of Qingzhou, down to the ordinary officials, you can see these four poems when you go in and out of the Yamen every day.

"What does it say?"

"Er Shi Er Lu, min Zhi min Gao. It is easy for the people to abuse, but hard for the heaven to bully them. "

"Good poem, I haven't read a book, so I can only say: Niang, it's very good. It's written by our chief minister. He's a very honest official. "

"It's not the buzhengshi, it's a man named Xu Qi'an. Well, there are small words on the side: Shi Yanggong. Oh, it's a student of our minister. "

This poem was written by Xu Qi'an, so it was written by him. But Ziyang Jushi was coquettish. He asked people to engrave three small characters on the left side of Xu Qi'an's name: Shi Yanggong.

If the three great Confucians of Yunlu Academy were present, they would vomit blood and roar: shameless old thief, how can you rub?

Many incorruptible officials applaud this poem. I wrote down Xu Qi'an in silence.

Xu Qi'an's name spread rapidly in Qingzhou officialdom, and then many students and officials suddenly found out that the person who mentioned poems in the inscription was the talented person who wrote the poems 200 years ago.

The most amazing thing is that he is not a scholar, but a watchman.

However, both Qingzhou officials and students are convinced of Xu Qi'an, admire his poetic talent, and even admire the spirit shown in his poems.

When the girls of Jiaofang Department learned the news, their chest was filled with excitement and excitement. One by one, they were eager to burn incense and worship Buddha, praying that Xu Da Cai Zi would be lucky for them and leave a poem or two.

Tell them to post it upside down. They're all willing.

...

outside Qingzhou City.

Ziyang Ju Shi took a group of senior officials of Qingzhou and personally sent the governor team out of the city.

"After this parting, I don't know when I can meet you. Take care of yourself, teacher." Xu Qian saluted as a disciple.

Ziyang Ju Shi nodded slightly, some sigh, just recognized a student, Chuai bosom has not Wu hot, is about to leave.

"When we go to Yunzhou this time, we should always keep in mind that we should serve the imperial court and the people of the world." Yang Gong said in a deep voice.

For the common people of the world... Xu Qi'an silently repeated it in his heart.

A few days later, Qingzhou border, post station.

At two o'clock in the morning, after the end of Tuina and meditation, Xu Qian, who had not slept for seven days, walked out of the room with a candle.

Late at night, the station was quiet inside. He followed the corridor to the end, and then went down the stairs.

At the counter of the hall, an oil lamp is burning silently. The courier lies on the table and sleeps soundly. Crystal liquid flows out of the corner of his mouth.

The official post station is open 24 hours a day. Some officials will be on their way all night because of urgent business. It's hard to say when they will stay at the post station.

Dong Dong...

Xu Qi'an gently buttoned the counter twice, making a dull voice.

The courier woke up with a start. He wiped the corner of his mouth and stood up. "What can I do for you, my lord?"

"Give me some envelopes and writing paper. I want to write to you." Xu Qian made a request.

The courier immediately took out a piece of writing paper and envelope from the cupboard. Xu Qi'an shook his head: "not enough."

"How much do you want?"

"Seven envelopes, the more the paper, the better."

For the first time, the courier saw someone writing seven letters in one breath, muttering something silently, and obediently handed over seven envelopes and letters.

After receiving the envelope and the letter, Xu Qi'an turns and goes upstairs to his room.

He put the envelope on the desk, took out the petals of the red lotus from the jade mirror, pressed five petals on the five envelopes, then spread the paper, pressed the Paperweight, and ground the letter.

The first letter.

"Princess Huaiqing:

" at the time of writing this letter, I had reached the border of Qingzhou and was about to enter Yunzhou. When he left Beijing, he wanted to discuss with his highness and listen to his Highness's opinions.

"But I don't want to offend your highness in my humble position. He is so cruel that I can't see him behind closed doors.

"Through Yuzhou, I found a corruption case... From this case, it can be seen that the witchcraft religion has been eroding the imperial court for a long time, and has secretly cultivated many spies. The so-called "thousand miles of the mention of collapse in the ant nest", had to prevent. I hope your highness can persuade your majesty to make every effort to revive the imperial program.

"In the middle of winter, a kind of red flower is in full bloom. The strength of the red lotus comes out of the mud but not dyed; it cleans the ripples but not the demons; it connects the middle and the outside without branches; it is fragrant and far-reaching, and it is pure and planted in pavilions and pavilions. It can be viewed from a distance but not played with.

"It reminds me of your highness. I'm sorry, but I know it's disrespectful. However, his highness is the only one in his humble life. You and red lotus general, out of the mud but not dyed, Zhuo Qinglian but not demon.

"I picked a lotus flower and sent it to your highness with the letter to express my heart."

Second letter.

"Princess Lin'an:"It's a long night. I don't want to sleep. Your Highness's voice and smile are in front of me. They ring in my ears. I haven't seen them for half a month. I miss them very much.

"The trip to Yunzhou was not lonely. Many interesting and bizarre things happened on the way. It turned out that there was a water ghost in the canal. On the way, a hubenwei boarded the deck at night. Suddenly he heard his mother's call, so the ghost jumped into the water.

"The water devil grabbed his ankle and tried to drag him to the bottom of the river. Fortunately, the despicable officer found out in time, jumped into the river, fought with the water ghost for 300 rounds, and just saved the poor hubenwei.

"On the way from Qingzhou to Yunzhou, I passed by a village. A strange thing happened in the village. The daughter-in-law of a family died and walked around the room all day and all night. She had white teeth, black nails and biting when she saw people...

" fortunately, when she passed by, she saw that there must be a reason for the woman's death. After a thorough investigation, she came to the truth. It turned out that the husband had an affair with the village widow and wanted to divorce his wife. But the wife didn't want to, so she killed him cruelly.

"My wife died with resentment, and her soul was haunted. That's why she became a corpse.

"By the way, there is a kind of flower in Qingzhou, named Honglian, which is as charming as fire. It can always remind your highness of his peerless demeanor wearing a red skirt.

"It's just like a princess. It's bitchy. It's as bright as the wind and light as an arrow. However, when a gust of wind blows, it's shy to bow its head. A word comes into my heart: the tenderness of the bow is like a water lotus, which is more shy than the cool wind.

"My humble duty is abrupt. I don't mean to offend the princess. It's just that the beauty of the princess is the only thing I've ever seen in my life."

The third letter.

"Miss Caiwei:

" one day's absence is like three autumn. We haven't seen it for half a month. How about chicken essence refining? Have you been promoted to alchemist?

"Yuzhou has a kind of delicious food, which is called yellow bud vegetable ham. Ham is a unique food in the south, which is hard to find in the north.

"The method is also very simple. Peel the ham well, remove the oil and store the meat. First simmer the skin with chicken soup, then simmer the meat, put the Yellow sprouted cabbage heart, cut the root into sections, about two inches long; add honey, wine and water, simmer for half a day. It's delicious and fresh, and the meat and vegetables are all changed, but the roots and hearts of vegetables are not scattered at all. The soup is also beautiful.

"There are several kinds of delicious food in Qingzhou, and let me come together...

" by the way, there is a kind of flower in Qingzhou, named Honglian. This flower is bright and lively. It blooms in the wind. When it swings with the wind, it seems to be smiling faces. I can't help but think of miss Caiwei.

"You are such a heartless (cross out) you are such a happy girl, carefree, innocent, with a pair of clear and bright eyes, forget the vulgar."

The fourth letter.

"Miss Fuxiang:

" I haven't seen you for half a month. I miss you very much. Miss your smile, miss your coat, miss your white Naizi and your taste (cross out)

"I haven't seen you for half a month. I miss you very much. At this time, I have arrived at the border of Qingzhou and will arrive in Yunzhou tomorrow. Along the way, my colleagues invited me to the Department, but I refused because it was so boring without your department.

"I can't help remembering that you and I are lingering day and night. When we are in deep love, I whisper in your ear: I'm not good at shooting. You nodded shyly. It was a good time for us.

"The trip to Yunzhou is more time-consuming and laborious than I thought. The time when we met is very far away. I know you are crazy about me. Please remember to have a manicure when you can't stand Acacia.

"By the way, there is a flower in Qingzhou, named Honglian. This flower is burning like fire, like you, warm like fire, let people linger

Xu Qi'an finished writing the letter to the spare tires, dried the ink, looked at the changed letter paper, but sighed.

Handwriting is like this, writing will write wrong words, or write something that should not be written. When he was young, he had made such mistakes.

It doesn't matter. These are all women who know the root and the bottom of him. They won't dislike him because his handwriting is ugly.

I'm very satisfied with the content. I write different contents according to the different personalities of the spare tires. For example, Huaiqing likes current affairs, so he writes cases.

Lin'an liked to listen to stories, so he wrote about the strange stories along the way.

Chu Caiwei is a foodie, so we talk about delicious food with her.

As for Fuxiang, it's enough to roll the sheets so many times and write letters more like flirting.

The next is a letter to his family. Xu Qi'an left it to the end. After repeated deliberation, he dipped it in ink.

The fifth letter.

"Sister Lingyue:

" brother Wei is very good outside, but I miss you a little. From childhood to adulthood, brother Wei hasn't left you for more than three days. Of course, I never left my uncle and aunt.

"Can you still adapt to life in the inner city? The prices in the inner city are not more expensive than those in the outer city, but don't feel aggrieved. Go out more and go to the silk shops and jewelry shops.

"When I left, I left three hundred taels of silver for my aunt, which was enough for my family to spend some time. Well, the elder brother is not at home, and Erlang is in the college. You should remember to make up your mind about some things. Don't listen to your stupid mother for everything.

"If my aunt proposes to let you marry again, you can ask her to give me three hundred taels of silver and silk. I hope you can go home when I find out."By the way, there is a kind of flower in Qingzhou, named Honglian. It is as pure and beautiful as you, gentle and beautiful."

The sixth letter.

"Aunt:

" please take care of the ring tone, over! "

The seventh letter.

"Second uncle:

" I'm very good outside. When I wrote this letter, I just arrived at the border of Qingzhou. I don't know what will happen in Yunzhou.

"Don't worry, men always have to go through twists and turns. You and my father are fighting on the battlefield.

"I'm in the realm of alchemy recently. I hope you will be promoted to the realm of alchemy when I return to Beijing. At that time, my Xu family will have a double God, which will be very impressive.

"Oh, and then it suddenly occurred to me that you didn't know how many big characters you could have written to cijiu, didn't you? I always thought that your father naturally thought about his son, so I didn't write to him to tell him that we had moved. Anyway, half a month has passed. Now I should know where my family has moved.

"I hope it's my worry."

After writing the letter, Xu Qi'an folded the letter paper and put it into the envelope one by one with the petals of the red lotus.

I.
