Chapter 632: Qi Hui's South Escape
"Sir, obey the order." Yuwen Yisheng stood up and bowed and replied. He knew that the matter was urgent and did not dare to delay it. Except for the Qi Palace, he returned to his residence to pack his bags and took several entourages pretending to be studying abroad to walk towards the capital. If the nearest road to enter the capital from Henan Road was to go west through Dogidao and enter Gyeonggidao, and then headed north to the capital, but now Dogidao has been occupied by Li You, and wedged into the Henan Road and Gyeonggidao like a wedge, breaking the connection between the two places, Yuwen Yisheng could only take a detour to the north and go around a large circle from Hedong Road to the capital.
I didn't think anything about following the army the last time. This time, the small group of people were harassed by bandits, bandits, rebels, and even the Northern Yuan soldiers. The fields were deserted. When they entered the villages and towns, nine out of ten rooms were empty, and there were many places where the doors were open and no one lived. Yuwen Yisheng couldn't help but shook his head when he saw this. Although the Wei government was above the top, the people still had a way out. But now the Northern Yuan army and various forces were fighting everywhere, and the people finally couldn't live.
What made Yuwen Yisheng even more speechless was that the officers and soldiers should have protected the people, but it was different in Henan and Hedong. Whether it was the rebels here or the bandits who were forced to become bandits, they always had close ties with the people in nearby villages, so they were not good at harassing the people too much. On the contrary, the officers and soldiers from the north of the desert often slaughtered villages and towns, burned, killed and robbed, causing the people to suffer. The number of rebels and bandits has increased.
"Oh, I would rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled person. The ancients did not deceive me." Yuwen Yisheng couldn't help but sigh. He had been tortured all the way, and there were constant bandits and officers and soldiers blocked the way. Fortunately, the rebel army respected the scholars, and the officers and soldiers had the orders given by Yuan Zhang to pass, so he arrived in the capital safely.
When he arrived in the capital, Yuwen Yisheng did not rush to visit him directly. It was too rude to come to the door with this look. He first went to the home of an old friend in the capital, took a shower, changed his clothes and cleaned up again, and waited until the next day to send a message to Qi Huizhi's mansion.
In the afternoon, Qi Huizhi returned from the court and asked habitually, "What's wrong with the mansion today?" He also subconsciously said that among the countries in the country today, the Chu State, which was the most stormy, was the most stormy. Even though he was a high-ranking official in the court, few people had always come to visit him.
"They all came to ask the master for their calligraphy." Qi Huizhi became famous for his calligraphy, and some artful people came to visit him, but it was far worse than when Li Gui was in power. People said that his calligraphy was like the other person. Now Qi Huizhi has lost his literary character to the pseudo-dynasty, so it's better not to ask for this word.
After saying that, the butler handed over a bunch of famous posts, thought about it and took out one from the bottom and put it on it, "The people who visited today are all acquaintances, but this Mr. Xu Zhong has never heard of it."
"Mr. Xuzhong?" Qi Huizhi was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of thinking, he guessed the identity of the visitor, "Well? Isn't he in Henan? Why did he come to Beijing? And he is so cautious? He also used this little-known alias?"
Xu Zhong is the alias that Yuwen Yisheng used in the past, but it changed it shortly after using it. Qi Huizhi had a relationship with him before he realized that he was strange that according to the current relationship between the Northern Yuan and the State of Chu, ministers like Yuwen Yisheng who were in high positions in the Northern Yuan Dynasty would probably welcome Xu Shiyong and Yang Deming in person to greet each other, so why didn’t he hear the movement?
I guess he had other plans for this trip, so it was not appropriate to have a son? Qi Huizhi originally wanted to visit Yuwen Yisheng's residence in person, but when he thought of this reason, he sat down again, and he ordered, "Go and invite Mr. Xu Zhong to the house to wait for him. The other guests today will be gone, let them go back."
"Yes, I obey the order." The housekeeper was a little surprised and couldn't help but secretly guess what the other party was from, and how could his master value it so much? He didn't dare to delay and immediately sent capable people to find Yuwen Yisheng according to the address left in the prayer post. Half an hour later, Yuwen Yisheng entered Qi Huizhi's study.
"It's indeed Brother Yuwen. Didn't Brother Yuwen follow the National Master on Henan Road? Why did he suddenly come to the capital?" Seeing Yuwen Yisheng coming, Qi Huizhi quickly stood up to greet him.
"This matter is hard to describe." Yuwen Yisheng glanced at the servants of the book who were serving left and right. Qi Huizhi was aware of it and drove them all out of the study room. He sent the housekeeper to guard outside the study room, leaving only the two of them to discuss secretly.
"I am here this time. I have any objections to ask Brother Qi for the big deal." Seeing that there was no one around, Yuwen Yisheng spoke slowly and told all the results of discussing with Yuan Zhang and Chen Jing'an in the Qi Palace that day.
A few days later, a big news suddenly came from the capital. The famous Qi Huizhi Qi suddenly disappeared from Xu Shiyong's court. He did not see him attend court for several days. Has he received a document for complaint? When Xu Shiyong sent someone to Qi Huizhi's mansion to check, he found that Qi Huizhi and his family had disappeared for several days, leaving only those frightened servants in the mansion.
When the news reached the palace, Xu Shiyong and Yang Deming looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Since the Yalehan army was destroyed by Li You, more and more officials have fled with seals in Chu. However, it is the first time that people are in high positions like Qi Huizhi.
"Forget it, don't pay attention to it." Xu Shiyong was also invisibly confused about this matter. Even the people chasing were too lazy to send them out. He still returned to the harem to use fine wine, singing and dancing to make himself forget these worries.
Ten days later, a team of chariots and horses arrived at the border between Dogi and Gyeonggi Province and stopped in front of the checkpoint of the Jiazhou Army. An old man who looked like a housekeeper came forward, "My master is the Lord Qi Hui of the Left Secret and the Secret Rebellion of Qi Hui. This time he abandoned his false post and came south to visit Jiazhou to pay homage to the new emperor. I hope this general will inform you and let us pass the customs."
After verifying his identity, the defenders did not dare to neglect them. While sending a team of soldiers to escort them into Dugi Province, they rushed to inform Luo Shiji.
Luo Shiji had heard of Qi Huizhi's reputation at the beginning, and thought that since such a famous minister would defect to Jiazhou, it would be a good thing, so he ordered them not to stop him along the way and to send them to Jiazhou as soon as possible.
Soon, the news came to Jiazhou, and the officials who had been suppressed by Yao Guangxiao, Wang Ji and others for a long time celebrated each other. In the past, because they did not have a famous person as the backbone, they could not compete with Qian Sa and Li You. Now this famous Lord Qi Huizhi went south, giving them new hope.
These people have been united for the time being, hoping that Lord Qi can lead them and Li You to compete in the court. (To be continued.)
