The identities of these five people had just been confirmed, and they felt as if they had reached the pinnacle of their lives! There was a constant stream of people entertaining them from all over the place. Except for Zhang Shi in the inner gate who never left the palace, none of the other four people had time to spare.
when.
They kept going in and out of various restaurants, teahouses, and brothels. They were very busy! And there was an endless stream of people who came to them for help. For a while, they were even more reluctant to accept gifts and money! And these people who asked for help were also
To put it clearly, it is to let them use more ideas in Tianjin, so that they can get a hand in Tianjin after driving away Wu Ninghou!
As a result, the excitement lasted for more than half a month. By the time they set off, the four people were almost exhausted by the wine, their steps were sluggish, and their eyes were pale. They were not as good as Zhang Shi, a eunuch with a ruddy complexion and clear eyes!
However, these four people are still high-spirited. They feel that Shilin needs to do a big thing by themselves, and their expressions are extremely proud!
However, these people are also qualified to put on a proud look. Although He Xianli from the Ministry of Revenue and Wu Yunshan from the Ministry of War are only fourth-grade doctors, they are in important positions and hold great power. They are ordinary second- and third-grade doctors.
When the staff saw the two of them, they had to laugh with them.
As for Qianhu Xu Wanjiang, who belongs to the Nanzhen Prefecture, he already has the power of internal inspection and is a powerful figure in the capital. As for Jiang Yuzhong, not to mention, these censors have the power to report affairs and launch frenzy.
Even the current court official dared to point his nose and scold him. This shows that he has great ability in a small way!
But it’s a joke. The identities of these five people were determined half a month ago, but it was not until today that they met for the first time. It can be seen that these people have been busy with business and rich in life during this period!
The first person to rush to the city gate was Xu Wanjiang, a Qianhu member of Jinyiwei. Apart from a group of Jinyiwei who wanted to go to Tianjin with him, the others who left the city were colleagues, friends, and relatives from various places. These people made no secret of anything.
They looked at Xu Wanjiang with envy and gave him all kinds of enthusiastic praise!
Hearing these flattering words, Xu Wanjiang's already sore body became even more sore! However, he still said goodbye to everyone around him in spirit, and promised that the promises he made would be fulfilled!
Just as they finished saying goodbye, two groups of people poured out of the city gate. The leaders were Wu Yunshan of the Ministry of War and He Xianli of the Ministry of Hubu. In addition to the guarding servants and soldiers, they were also accompanied by a large number of colleagues and friends.
But at this time, I have to say that scholars are decent. Although the civil servants who saw off Xu Wanjiang had the same goal as the military attachés who saw off Xu Wanjiang, their behavior and tone were much lighter. Although there was no extreme enthusiasm, the atmosphere was very touching, and even more so.
Someone composed a few powerful poems on the spot, which attracted cheers from everyone!
The next person who arrived was the censor Jiang Yuzhong. However, the team he saw off was much smaller, and it was mainly composed of censors. When these censors saw others, their eyes were like daggers, and they drove away the others in an instant.
Drive away, leaving only a small group of them in the same place, just like everyone else is drunk and I am awake alone.
Moreover, the farewell of these censors was different from other groups of people. They all looked solemn and impassioned, as if their journey to Tianjin was to enter a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!
The last person to arrive was Zhang Shi, the eunuch of the Imperial Palace. But when this man walked out of the city gate, everyone was surprised! Because there was no one to see him off at all, he only brought a few eunuchs and carriages with him.
It can be said to be extremely simple!
At this time, the five people who finally gathered together also gathered together to greet each other. Afterwards, Zhang Shi said with a smile: "Several adults should have said goodbye to each other at this time. Why don't we hurry up and set off?"
Several people knew that Zhang Shi had come so late, so they were given time to say goodbye. This was a sign of gratitude. Moreover, Zhang Shi had the title of Empress Dowager Li and was quite old, so no one cared about him in general.
, so they all expressed that they had finished saying what needed to be said and could go on their way.
Zhang Shi nodded when he heard this and said: "In this case, our family will get on the bus."
After saying that, he got into the carriage with the help of the young eunuch and did not show up again. Seeing this, several other people did not want to delay any longer, and they all handed over and said goodbye to the people who were seeing them off. So it was official that the group of several people formed a large group.
Set off.
However, it is natural that there must be people who are traveling far away on the road. Ten miles away, ten miles away, and another twenty miles, which naturally delays a lot of time, so it is already past noon by the time they really start marching towards Tianjin.
The movement of the large group of people was bound to be slow, so they could not walk more than a few steps until evening. After everyone rested at the post station, they naturally wanted to celebrate with a drink to get closer to each other. However, Zhang Shi still refused to attend their banquet.
I just asked the young eunuch to deliver the food and wine to the room.彡彡訁凊
Moreover, he apologetically told the others that he was not in good health and would not attend the banquet in the evening. Seeing him saying this, the others naturally let him go, and the four of them drank for a long time regardless of their status.
It was three o'clock in the morning the next day before a few people left the inn. But unfortunately, some distance after leaving the inn, a carriage axle was broken! It took another half a day to find someone to repair it. Fortunately, several people came together and
I am not in a hurry to rush to Tianjin, so I will wait patiently.
But the damn thing is that there were frequent accidents along the way. Either the axle was broken or the horse was frightened! Or there was a thief in the middle of the night, which made it impossible to sleep! What was even more outrageous was that Wu Yunshan and He Xianli actually had diarrhea and had to lie down in the inn.
It took four days to finally recover! If the four of them hadn't been eating at the same table and the other two were fine, they would have thought someone had poisoned him!
Just stop and go, stop and go, the six or seven days journey took them nearly half a month! But fortunately, things went much smoother after entering Tianjin. And when everyone got here
, I found that the surrounding area of Tianjin was very different from usual at this time!
The roads here are crowded with large and small caravans, almost connected end to end! Although all the vehicles are covered with tarpaulins and you can't see clearly what is inside, you can tell just by looking at the shaking of the vehicles that they are extremely heavy.
It can be seen that the goods are extremely full!
Needless to say, the merchants were all in high spirits, rushing as if they had mountains of gold and silver ahead of them. Even the clerks and guards were in high spirits, which shows that the reward they received was not low!
Even the villages we passed by looked different from the past! The villagers, both men and women, walked a little faster than before. Their faces were rosy and very lively!
