Yongxing County Road has twelve prefectures, with two prefectures, one is Hezhong Prefecture, which is responsible for guarding the northern Khitan, and the other is Jingzhao Prefecture, which is responsible for transportation, military training and other logistics.

It is only over a hundred miles from the capital, and there are two ways to get there, water and land.

The most important thing about waterways is safety. Now that the end of August is approaching the Yellow River flood season, the river is turbulent, few shipping companies are sailing, and official ships can only sail at specific times.

Bandits were rampant in several places on the mainland, and there was only one official road leading directly to the capital, which was only for emergency use by the imperial court.

At that time, Daochang Zhao had tasted the benefits of sending officials and family members, so he naturally knew how to pull the flag by pulling the tiger's skin. On the grounds of lack of time, he asked the Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture to open this road as an excuse, and told how he worked hard for the imperial court in Shu.

How great the sacrifice was, how difficult it was to get to Beijing all the way, and how miserable the sacrifice was.

In fact, there is no need for him to complain. Li Zhan, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, Tian Zhicheng, the governor, Zhi Junxin and others have already found out everything. They also know that the powerful forces in the capital do not want to see him enter the capital and spend a lot of money to buy others on the black market.

head.

Although Jingzhao Mansion is a treasured land, it is at most a second treasured land without the favor of the emperor. The first treasured land is naturally the contemporary capital; Bianjing, how dare their bureaucrats, the second treasured land, offend the first treasured land? And this Shu land

The Taoist priest who came was blocked from entering Beijing. Apparently some people in the court did not welcome this 'outsider'.

They can't afford to offend several forces. It's definitely not possible to keep him here. Letting him go smoothly will also indirectly offend the temple people. The only thing they can do is to control the time well, and neither make things difficult nor help.

Based on several people's years of climate experience, autumn rain will definitely fall in the next day or two. At that time, it would not be offensive to refuse on the grounds of collapse and congestion on the official road. Of course, the prerequisite must be to warmly entertain a few people and dispel their concerns.

So several scarlet-robed officials in Jingzhao Mansion warmly entertained the six guests from afar as imperial envoys, and took several people to visit the prosperous capital of the old Tang Dynasty to experience the prosperity of this thousand-year-old imperial capital and taste various special delicacies.

The prosperity of this place astonished the six of them. It was the most magnificent city they had seen so far. Even Yu Xiaowei, the daughter of the minister, who had seen all the prosperity, could not help but sigh at the grandeur and royalness of this imperial capital, which was even more grandiose than the capital city.

Zhao Zhengli was in the prosperous Jingzhao Mansion, but his heart stopped at the Qinling Mountains eight hundred miles away not far from Jingzhao Mansion, because there were the Five Blessings and Seventy-Two Valleys, as well as the old Tang Dynasty Sun Simiao, Li Chunfeng and other dojos. He wanted to visit them one by one, but unfortunately

After all, this trip is just a passer-by.

After being warmly received by several scarlet-robed bureaucrats, it was almost dark. Seeing that tomorrow was the 29th day of the lunar calendar, Zhao Zhengli was really panicked and thought to himself: If he had known that the road would be difficult, he would have set off after receiving the imperial edict, so he would not have

Living up to the beautiful scenery and ancient temples along the way, it is certain that we will stay in Jingzhao Mansion tonight.

Several bureaucrats enthusiastically sent people to prepare the yard.

That night, the weather failed, and it rained heavily all night. In the morning, there were still autumn rains. The six of them had planned to set off early, but they couldn't stand the warm hospitality of Li Zhan, the state pastor. They exchanged glasses for cups and had the most expensive breakfast in history.

It was almost noon when we set off again, and it was definitely too late to take the boat, so we had to rush on the plank road. The military commander hurriedly said that heavy rain last night and landslides had blocked the plank road, and the soldiers were urgently clearing it, so that the few people could wait some more time.

The six of them naturally couldn't afford to wait. Tomorrow would be the 30th day of the lunar calendar. If something went wrong and the imperial edict was violated, they would have to take dozens of kilometers of rural roads and be escorted out of the county by the Jingzhao Prefecture cavalry.

The road was full of autumn rain, muddy and winding, first arriving at Tongguan and then heading east along the river embankment.

The rolling Yellow River flows to the east, and the yellow bandits are roaming. The bandits are rampant in the remaining dozens of miles. Although they are not high-level, they are difficult to deal with. They go back and forth all the way, which is so annoying that the guards of Jingzhao Mansion are completely unable to resist. Only then did Zhang Ziya

Forced to clear the way with a gun.

It was already dark, and the rain was getting heavier. I rushed to the northwest of Beijing Road, and the guards of Jingzhao Mansion stopped here. If I got closer, I would be charged with treason and forced the palace.

The six of them walked alone for the remaining dozens of miles, and the road below the capital was peaceful. The only road was muddy and slippery, and the loess was sticky to the axles. Zhang Ziya had to scrape the mud to clear the road.
