Outside Shenjing City, on the Qingshiba Pier.

The Yan Dynasty's reliance on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal far exceeded that of previous dynasties.

The northern land is bitterly cold and the real estate is not abundant, but millions of people live in one city.

Without the supply from Jiangnan, it would never last long.

Products from the south of the Yangtze River are mostly transported to Dadu by water.

As the end point of the canal, Tongzhou Qingshiba Pier is lined with thousands of sails and crowded with people.

Cereals, vegetables, fruits, poultry, weaving, wood, porcelain, and lacquerware from the south of the Yangtze River are continuously transported from the canal to the dock, and then transferred to the capital via the dock.

It’s lively and lively day and night.

In order to prevent commercial ships, civilian ships and tankers from competing for river terminals, a yellow pavilion was erected 100 meters south of Qingshiba Pier as the dividing line between water transport and passenger and cargo ships. A monument was erected in the pavilion, and the inscription clearly stipulated that all passengers and cargo

Ships can dock to the south of Huangtingzi for loading and unloading, but they are not allowed to cross Huangtingzi to the north.

To the south of Huangtingzi is the freight terminal to the west and the passenger terminal to the east.

At the passenger terminal, there are many carriages, horses, mules and sedan chairs.

In this era, those who could travel to and from the capital were mostly officials and their family members with some background, followed by merchants, and thirdly, scholars who came to Beijing to take exams.

Ordinary people, but rare.

At this time, an ordinary two-story passenger ship docked at the pier. On the deck, a plain-looking old man in commoner clothes stood with his hands behind his hands. On his weathered face, his cloudy eyes looked greedily at the prosperity on the pier.

Behind the old man, there were only an old servant and a sturdy middle-aged man, carrying a heavy old wooden box. Judging from the damaged edges, it should be filled with books.

"Master, let's go into the city. It's almost lunch time, and I have to go to the palace to see you."

After the master and servant got off the boat, the old servant saw that the old man still couldn't see enough, so he had to step forward and remind him in a low voice.

When the old man heard this, he looked back with a sigh, and said in a low but powerful voice: "Twenty-eight years since I left Beijing. Twenty-eight years ago, this place was still very desolate."

The old servant smiled and said: "It's fate. I have been working as an official outside these years. Every time I meet you, I always meet the Holy Master on patrol, so I meet you on the road, which saves me from traveling thousands of miles."

It’s bitter. This year is the year of His Majesty’s visit again, but I was transferred to the capital to be a capital official. It’s a blessing.”

Every five years in Dayan, governors, governors, and envoys from other provinces with second or higher grades need to go to Beijing to report on their duties. With the transportation at this time, the journey can take as little as ten and a half months, or as long as several months.

There are few young and strong officials in high positions, so the pain of traveling around is difficult to endure.

But the old man shook his head and said: "Your majesty, how can you speak of suffering when you see the Emperor? Compared with the people of the world, who are we qualified to speak of suffering?"

Thinking of the corruption and extravagance that permeated the officialdom, the old man's face darkened again.

The old servant advised: "Master, go back to the inn and rest first, otherwise your waist will hurt again soon."

Hearing this, the old man sighed and shook his head. Just as he was about to set off, he heard a noise coming from the crowd not far away. He looked sideways and frowned...

In the crowd, Jia Qiang also frowned. Looking at Jia Lian, who was so arrogant and rude in front of her, she said in a deep voice: "Why don't you let me wait on the boat? If the old lady hadn't spoken in person, you would have thought that I would.

Get on the Jia family's boat and go south with you?"

Jia Lian is not a bad person who helps relatives but does not take care of others. He just doesn't like Jia Qiang. He didn't like Jia Qiang before. Later, he became even more disgusted with him, so he impatiently said: "Now that you have a strong waist, naturally you don't want to go to our Jia family."

It's your business whether you want to or not. I didn't say I wouldn't let you get on the boat. It's just that you carried a smelly, half-dead person on the boat. What's going on?"

There was anger in Jia Qiang's tone, and she said in a deep voice: "Do you have a brain problem or an ear problem? I made it very clear when I was in Rongqing Hall. This trip to Beijing is all to send the leader of the Jinsha Gang to Jinmen.

Sick, if he is well, do I still need to leave the capital? What do you need me to repeat what the old lady said? If you had made it clear last night that you would not be allowed to board the ship, and we would not retreat from the ship we found ourselves, we would not be able to do so now.

I will take this boat. Since you didn't say it last night, what's the point of trying to stop me now?"

What Jia Lian despises most now is that Jia Qiang, as a junior, dares to talk back to his elders, which is simply rebellious!

Although he himself was a victim of the patriarchal authority and was often whipped and trampled by Jia She, he still believed that filial piety was greater than heaven. This was a teaching he had received since he was three or four years old, and it was deeply ingrained.

Therefore, Jia Qiang's heresy was really difficult for him to accept.

Hearing Jia Qiang talking like this, Jia Lian was furious and said sternly: "Who are you talking to? I also opened my eyes. Is there any nephew talking to his uncle like this in the world?"

Hearing the uproar from the people watching around, Jia Qiang said coldly: "I'm going to reason with you, and you're going to talk to me about seniority. If your seniority is higher, you don't need to be unreasonable? Basically, you're just a senior citizen."

A clan uncle from the fifth server can bully me just because of his seniority?"

"oh……"

The spectators around me were stunned when they heard this. Scolding a biological uncle is mentally ill, and scolding a clan uncle who has been out of the fifth server is mentally ill. They are completely different things.

The so-called fifth service means that even if you die, you don't need to wear mourning clothes, let alone scolding, and it doesn't matter if you get beaten.

Jia Lian laughed angrily. How could Rongguo and Ningguo be the same lineage simply using the five clothes?

However, he was too lazy to argue with Jia Qiang on the dock. He only said: "I don't want to say anything to you, a rebellious son. If you want to get on the boat, you can get on it. If you don't want to get on the boat, you can pull it down. How can I, Rongguo Mansion's boat?"

Is that what Lao Shizi, the Jinsha Gang, the Yinsha Gang, and a bunch of lowlifes can do?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Jing's face suddenly turned pale, and the four Jinsha gang members who were carrying her father behind her also became furious.

Jia Qiang said in a cold voice: "Jia Lian, the Emperor and the Emperor just praised me for my pure filial piety a few days ago. You, a dandy who eats, drinks, whores and gambles, actually dare to slander my virtue in public. I, Jia Qiang, am insignificant, but I don't know that you will treat the Emperor and the Emperor like

Where does the Holy Spirit place it?"

When Jia Lian heard this, his face turned pale, and he was trembling with anger. He glared at Jia Qiang and said: "You...you are so cruel that you want to kill me? Besides, the emperor sent an edict to the Jia family because he praised the Jia family for their good teaching.

What does it have to do with you, a little beast? Even the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor, because you are a sycophant and shameless person, said those things that are not worthy of the stage, so he praised you, and you used it as a sword of Shangfang.

?Pooh!"

Because there are many officials and family members at the passenger terminal.

After recognizing the uncle and nephew from the Jia family, someone had already analyzed the "allusions" in the words.

On that day, Jia Qiang praised the Supreme Emperor's merits at Zuixian Tower, which were comparable to those of the great ancestors and ancestors, and the extravagant spending was also a merit. Word spread. For a time, the onlookers on the pier looked at Jia Qiang with disdain and contempt.

The old man who had just disembarked from the boat looked at Jia Qiang as sharply as a knife after hearing the rumors.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the direction of the official road leading to the capital. Everyone looked over there and saw a palace eunuch wearing a bright red python robe, beating a horse and riding away under the protection of dozens of imperial guards.

Come.

The crowd separated, and the palace people stepped in front of Jia Qiang and reined in their horses. After turning over and dismounting, they said bluntly to Jia Qiang: "The Emperor has an edict, and Jia Qiang will accept it."

Jia Qiang paused, lifted up the front of her clothes to salute, and then heard the palace attendant loudly say: "Now there is a first-class Ningguo Gong Jia who plays the role of great-great-grandson Jia Qiang. He inherits the loyalty of his ancestors, is not afraid of people's words, is extremely intelligent, and is commendable for his loyalty and filial piety."

, I love you very much. I know that your parents died young, and you have no father to care for, and no mother to rely on. However, all the people in the world are my flesh and blood. Now that I heard that you still have no name, I will give you two words.

You have lived up to my expectations."

After that, he handed the imperial edict personally written by the emperor to Jia Qiang.

After Jia Qiang took over, she heard the eunuch laugh in a high-pitched voice: "Young Master, the Supreme Emperor personally gave you a cousin name. This kind of kindness is rare in ancient times."

Someone around couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Husband, do you know what nickname the Supreme Emperor gave to the young man?"

The eunuch was obviously very satisfied with this person's question. After smiling heartily, he uttered two words loudly:

"Good minister!"

At the passenger terminal, everyone was in a roar.

This is the greatest compliment for a minister, but it is bestowed upon a flattering and flattering child?

The old man in cloth clothes was even more furious and shouted: "Absurd! How can this be unreasonable!"

The sound was like a loud bell, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

The eunuch originally looked furious when he saw someone disrupting the situation, but when he saw this person, his expression changed again, and he shouted out loud: "Han Bin? Ban Shan Gong?"

Han Bin, whose courtesy name was Zisi and whose nickname was Banshan, was the number one scholar in the fifth year of the Jingchu Period. He entered the Hanlin Academy to study and write for two years before he invited himself out of Beijing.

For the next twenty-eight years, he served as an official in the coldest and most remote places in Yan.

For every appointment, the evaluation results are all excellent.

He has been an official for twenty-eight years, and he has gained the hope of the world. He is honest, honest and upright, and he is also a capable minister.

Jing Chu met with his Majesty several times, and the Supreme Emperor wanted to transfer him to the court, but he declined. However, he did not expect that he would go to the capital at this time.

The people on the pier first looked at Jia Qiang and then at Han Bin, and they just thought it was so ridiculous.

However, Jia Qiang herself stood there without being arrogant, impetuous or vain, facing the old man in commoner clothes across a sea of ​​people.

Liangchen is the pseudonym of Han Shizhong, the famous Zhongxing general in the former dynasty.

Han Shizhong and Yue Wumu were together, determined to make a northern expedition to his homeland, wash away the shame, and welcome back the Supreme Emperor.

As a result, Yue Wumu was killed on unfounded charges. Han Shizhong was loyal, but he was also framed to seize power. From then on, the famous general left the capital and died in seclusion.

Thinking of the situation in the current dynasty, if the Supreme Emperor gives this letter at this moment, it can kill people!

It makes people think about it for a moment, and it will send chills to the bones!!

If Jia Qiang was Han Shizhong, wouldn't it be Qin Hui who forced him to leave the capital?

Since there is even Qin Hui, who is Song Gaozong?!
