Chapter 183 Changping Debate Day (Subscription Request)
time.

The agreed day finally arrived.

Early in the morning, before dawn.

Xizhimen and Deshengmen leading to Changping were already crowded with people trying to leave the city.

The two streets were packed with people.

As a result, people from Shuntian Prefecture and Wucheng Bingmasi ran to the scene cursing and swearing to maintain order.

Wait until the city gate opens.

The crowd rushed out.

Until daybreak, fewer and fewer people left the city.

However, the official road leading to Changping was blocked again.

People walking, people driving ox carts, people riding horses, people sitting in horse-drawn carriages, and people carrying sedan chairs.

They were crowded in a mess on an official road.

Finally, even the Beijing camp was dispatched, with cavalry leaving the camp to separate the crowd.

Officials should go first.

Famous scholars and students followed.

Finally, there came the people from all walks of life in Beijing who came to watch the fun.

And in Beijing.

Countless stalls also offered handicaps with astonishing odds.

Few people were optimistic about Yan Shaoting's plan to face off against various famous scholars alone.

As a result, these handicaps basically pushed Yan Shaoting's winning odds to around one to two.

It’s not that these quotes are unwilling to continue to rise.

Instead, it is basically overwhelming scripture debate, and there is no point in raising it further.

But even so.

I heard from unknown channels that after the odds in the city were announced today, some unknown people quietly went to various odds offices and placed bets on Yan Shaoting, and each bet was a large amount.

And those who dared to bet heavily on Yan Shaoting.

Naturally, he was immediately labeled a gambler.

Let’s not talk about the market situation in the city.

Just outside the city.

When the troops from the Beijing camp came forward to maintain order.

The official road to Changping immediately became orderly.

The leading one.

Naturally, it was the official carriage headed by the cabinet ministers.

According to the rules, the carriage of Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, should be in the front.

But the reality was that there was another carriage that did not display any flag and was traveling in front of Lord Yan's carriage.

In response, Lord Yan's carriage did not even move forward to drive them away.

In this way, the team marched forward peacefully.

And in the Yan family's carriage.

Yan Shifan's face showed some strange excitement.

"Dad, is this really the carriage in front of us from Prince Yu's Mansion?"

Yan Song opened his eyes and looked at his son: "Yes or no, why don't you go up and find out?"

Yan Shifan shook his head repeatedly: "My son is not a fool!"

After saying this, Yan Shifan stepped forward, lifted the curtain, and took a look at the carriage in front.

After he stepped back, he continued speaking.

"If it really is the carriage of Prince Yu's mansion, it is very likely that Prince Yu and the Crown Prince are inside."

"Doesn't this mean that Prince Yu values ​​Shao Ting very much, which is why he rarely leaves the city."

Yan Song frowned slightly.

I just wanted to have a good rest before arriving in Changping.

But this son.

Noisy!

He said helplessly: "That's not what you said about Prince Yu's Mansion at the beginning."

This was at the beginning of the year. When Yan Shaoting was analyzing the situation in the court, Yan Shifan strongly opposed having any connection with Prince Yu's Palace.

Yan Shifan, however, remained calm and collected.

"Is my son really a fool?"

"I said that at the beginning because I thought it would be difficult to accomplish this."

"But now, my son, your eldest grandson, is already the tutor of the prince of Prince Yu's mansion. There is also a lot of news from Prince Yu's mansion on weekdays. Prince Yu thinks highly of Shao Ting."

"It is more likely that he will leave the city in person today, which shows how much Prince Yu values ​​it."

"Once in the future..."

"Shao Ting is just as you said at the beginning, Dad."

"My family is the Emperor's teacher's family!"

Yan Shifan spoke very excitedly.

The thought that his son might become the imperial tutor of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Then isn't he the father of the Imperial Teacher?

This honor.

How many people in the country can have this?

But the old man was unwilling to speak.

Yan Shifan could only lean closer and say, "Don't worry, Dad. I know what to do. A few days ago, I got approval from the Ministry of Works to repair several dilapidated palaces in the backyard of Prince Yu."

Wait until Yan Shifan finishes saying this.

Yan Song then looked at his son and said slowly, "Don't be too attentive to some things. Flowers on a brocade are not as good as charcoal in the snow. Now that the court is balanced among all parties, it is time to do more and make more mistakes."

Yan Shifan thought about it and nodded.

"That's what you said."

"My son knows."

But soon.

Yan Song then said, "If the Ministry of Works can open the door to Prince Yu's Mansion, we should do more of this kind of thing without any scruples."

"Ah?" Yan Shifan's face was suddenly full of confusion.

The old man just said that if you do it right, you will make more mistakes.

Why now, I am asked to take care of Prince Yu’s Mansion in the Ministry of Works?

Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan with a faint smile on his face.

"Just think of it as throwing out some bait."

Hearing the old man say this, Yan Shifan's eyes suddenly lit up.

A sly smile appeared on his face: "You mean, wait and see if anyone takes the bait?"

But Yan Song had already closed his eyes and leaned back to doze off.

Yan Shifan heard that he could set a trap for people and wait for the person to jump into it.

But he instantly became energetic.

In a split second, he had already thought of several things that the Ministry of Works could do to help Prince Yu's Mansion. In another direction.

On the official road leading out of the city from Anding Gate on the northeast side of Beijing.

Compared with Xizhimen and Deshengmen, it is a long way to go to Changping.

Therefore, there are much fewer people leaving the city to Changping today.

however.

Lu Yi had been worried for more than an hour.

God knows why the emperor was so depressed that he even wanted to sneak out of Beijing and go to Changping to watch today's debate with his own eyes.

To this end, I found several excuses to hide it from my brother-in-law.

Lu Yi looked back at the ordinary carriage behind him.

There were only a dozen guards around.

They were all Jinyiwei cavalry who had taken off their armor and official uniforms and changed into ordinary people's clothes.

What if there is any accident on the road?

Or a group of robbers appeared.

With just them, I'm afraid the emperor would be able to ascend to heaven today and become one of the immortals.

Lu Fang, who was driving the carriage, also changed into the clothes of an ordinary housekeeper.

Seeing Lu Yi's nervous look, she couldn't help but smile.

He said, "Don't worry, Lu. Yesterday, the master ordered the Marquis of Zhenyuan to mobilize the Beijing troops to sweep the northwest area of ​​the capital."

Lu Yi turned around and looked at Lu Fang with a stiff expression, revealing a big but ugly smile.

The carriage rides leisurely.

The breeze stirred.

Occasionally, a Taoist robe would be revealed behind the carriage curtain that was blown up by the wind.

When everyone was rushing to Changping.

Changping has already been busy.

Under Xu Wei's mobilization, every household started to get busy.

Early in the morning, men, women, young and old from every household got up and devoted themselves to different tasks.

The children were dressed in uniform and, under the guidance of older children, were assigned to several important positions.

Even Lu Wenyan's elder sister brought the women from Changping to prepare food in the food street next to the academy early in the morning.

Not long after.

The fragrance is already overflowing.

Then, Sister Lu disappeared.

Instead, Yan Shaoting became the one with the most free time.

Everyone was busy, wishing they could be split into two, but no one came forward to ask Yan Shaoting for help.

then.

Yan Shaoting could only wait at the intersection leading to Changping, accompanied by his lackey Yan Hu.

That is the intersection with the banner "Welcome to Changping".

"Tell me, why did you come here suddenly?"

"One thousand five hundred people, that's half of the number."

"Is the Marquis of Zhenyuan hiding somewhere?"

"I heard that the Beijing camp was dispatched last night and swept the entire Changping direction."

“You are here now too.”

"This posture..."

"Is Your Majesty also sneaking out of the palace today and coming to Changping?"

Yan Shaoting looked at Guo Yuchuang, the fully armed and armored lieutenant general of the Beijing camp beside him, and asked him questions one after another.

Guo Yuchuang was overwhelmed for a moment.

I just felt my head buzzing.

When Yan Shaoting asked whether the emperor was also coming to Changping.

Guo Yuchuang was shocked and shook his head quickly: "No! No! You think too much!"

Yan Shaoting stared at Guo Yuchuang, whose forehead was already covered with sweat, with amusement, and then he looked up at the sky.

"What a triple denial."

"It's already autumn and it's not hot, so why are you sweating?"

"Could it be that the Zhenyuan Marquis trained too hard?"

"That's not right. I heard that you are all stationed in Xiyuan now, and you are also called the emperor's close army. The Marquis of Zhenyuan probably can't control you anymore."

If I hadn't been sent by the Emperor.

And the person in front of him can be regarded as the benefactor of himself and the Beijing Camp.

Guo Yuchuang really wanted to chop this noisy person to death with a knife.

Guo Yuchuang was embarrassed and begged for mercy, "Reader, please don't embarrass me."

Yan Shaoting, however, stretched out his hand to hook Xiao Guozi and said, "We are all brothers. It doesn't matter whether it is difficult or not. Just tell me quietly whether His Majesty is really coming, so that I can prepare in advance, right?"

Guo Yuchuang looked embarrassed, and after a while he spoke: "Anyway, as long as the tutor knows, it was His Majesty who asked us to come to Changping to maintain law and order."

Yan Shaoting patted little Guozi on the shoulder.

"I understand. Since Admiral Guo has said that His Majesty is coming, I will naturally make preparations."

Talking.

Yan Shaoting then pretended to leave.

Guo Yuchuang Ma was startled.

When did you say that His Majesty was coming?

Isn't this just slander?

But the next second.

In the distance, there was a road with identical trees on both sides.

There was a roar.

Then I saw that the sky was already filled with smoke and dust.

Yan Hu's eyes lit up.

"Master, someone is coming!"

Guo Yuchuang seemed to have escaped from trouble. He immediately held down the sword at his waist and rushed forward.

"Cheer up, everyone!"

"Tighten your waist! Stand up straight!"

"Whoever loses face for our three thousand soldiers, go back to the West Mountain and dig three thousand stones of coal before coming back!"

Yan Shaoting, who could still continue to tease little Guozi, also looked happy.

Accompanied by Xu Wei who appeared from nowhere.

Start walking forward.
