Xu Boyi holds the emperor, the official scholar and brocade clothes health/guard and Wujunying, 3000 battalions of three defends the value general to cap the opening the door command of seal bell, dashes to doing the clear gate. 徐伯夷捧着皇上、大学士及锦衣卫、五军营、三千营的三位戍值将军加盖了印钤的启门令,一路飞奔到乾清门。 This is an imperial palace, goes to a place is not near casually, Xu Boyi could not attend to the palace the custom, he really dashed to doing the clear gate, to General Xiong Wei who xiong guarding to do the clear gate panting said/tunnel „General bear, this...... this was my opening the door command!” 这可是皇宫,随便去个地方都不近,徐伯夷也顾不得宫中规矩了,他是真的一路飞奔到乾清门,对把守乾清门的熊伟熊大将军气喘吁吁地道“熊将军,这……这是咱家的启门令！” Xiong Wei received the opening the door command, enters nearby classroom, took out the copy that all parties reserved to compare under the lamp earnestly, came out to say to Xu Boyi smilingly: „Good, the copy tallies, can open the imperial city gate!” 熊伟接过启门令,走进旁边班房,在灯下取出各方预留的印鉴认真比对了一番,笑容可掬地出来对徐伯夷道:“不错,印鉴符合,可以开宫门了！” Xu Boyi nose acid, the tears are inadequate, to have this imperial city gate, he had run two double-hour, now wants at midnight. Xu Boyi hurries saying: „That asked the general to open the door in a big hurry!” 徐伯夷鼻子一酸,眼泪差点儿下来,为了出这道宫门,他已经奔走了两个时辰,现在都要午夜了。徐伯夷赶紧道:“那就请将军快快开门吧！” Xiong Wei dao: „Not anxiously not anxious, Xiong is General Emon, but must ask the doorkeeper general to come, to comparing to tally, can open the imperial city gate together.” 熊伟道:“莫急莫急,熊某是卫门将军,还需请监门将军来,对勘合符,才能一起打开宫门。” Xu Boyi trembling sound said: „Which is doorkeeper general......?” 徐伯夷颤声道:“监门将军……又是哪个？” He does not want to cry, he is the air/Qi. 他不是想哭,他是气的。 Xiong Wei dao: „Not anxiously not anxious, isn't doorkeeper general Li Xinggang, far, the moment then comes!” 熊伟道:“莫急莫急,监门将军李兴钢,不远不远,须臾便来！” Xiong Wei said to a guard: „You go, fast asked General Li Xinggang to come this to comparing to tally!” 熊伟对一名卫士道:“你去,速请李兴钢将军来此对勘合符！” The soldier complies with one, sharply sharply departs. 那士兵答应一声,急急离去。 Xiong Wei turned upwards the thumb to Xu Boyi, praised: „Father-in-law really good skill, since this officer has held the post of the palace gate guard, but also some people cannot the midnight open the imperial city gate, father-in-law you, but first!” 熊伟冲徐伯夷翘起了大拇指,赞道:“公公真好本事,自本官担任宫门卫以来,还从不曾有人能半夜开启宫门,公公你可是头一个啊！” Xu Boyi is waiting for that General Li anxiously, one hear of this saying, knowing whether to laugh or cry said/tunnel: „Said, me can leave the palace am very smooth?” 徐伯夷焦急地等着那位李将军,一听这话,哭笑不得地道:“这么说,咱家要出宫还挺顺利的？” Xiong Wei dao: „That is natural! The father-in-law you may know, in the past the Wuzong emperor southern tour, to Nanjing, toured Mt. Niushoushan, when returning to city is late at night, passes on the aim to open the door to welcome harnesses, that curfew guards does not pay attention, Emperor Wuzong must stay overnight in somebody's home in Porcelain Tower of Nanjing outside city gate! That is Nanjing, at that time is the alternate capital, being less than Beijing is important, moreover what must enter a city is the emperor!” 熊伟道:“那是自然！公公你可知道,当年武宗皇帝南巡,到了南京,游览牛首山,返城时已是深夜,传旨开门迎驾,那门禁守卫根本不予理会,武宗皇帝只得借宿在城门外的大报恩寺里！那可是南京,当时已是陪都,不及北京重要,而且要进城的是皇帝呀！” Xu Boyi squeezes out a ratio to cry also the ugly smiling face, said: „, Me also really should feel to rejoice, haha...... hehe............” 徐伯夷挤出一副比哭还难看的笑脸,道:“如此说来,咱家还真的应该感到庆幸了,哈哈……呵呵……呵……” General Li comes is really quick, about after three column fragrant times, General Li rushed finally, he brought the tiger tally, General bear in hand also half tiger tallies, two people to examining tiger tally, fitting together perfectly, is not bad, General bear then wields the big hand, shouts: „Opens the door!” 李将军来的还真快,大约三柱香的功夫之后,李将军终于赶到了,他带了虎符来,熊将军手中也有半块虎符,二人对验虎符,严丝合缝,一点不差,熊将军便把大手一挥,喝道:“开门！” Eight people of great strength go forward, lifted that heavy door bolt, the Xu Boyi heel lifts, has been ready that dashes to go out, but...... that only giant copper lock hangs in the gate steadily, Xu Boyi is astonished however looks to Xiong Wei. 八个力士上前,将那沉重的门闩抬了下来,徐伯夷脚跟抬起,已然做好飞奔出门的准备,但……那只巨大的铜锁还是稳稳地挂在门上,徐伯夷不禁讶然看向熊伟。 Xiong Wei and Li Xinggang are standing on one side to chat, listen to the content that they chatted, in the comparison probably who cancels the enchanting miss and fruit of miss lan alley will take care of the topic of man. This east and west different people have different views, where can obtain high under. 熊伟和李兴钢正站在一边聊天,听他们聊的内容,大概是在比较勾阑胡同的妖娆姑娘和果儿姑娘谁更会服侍男人的话题。这种东西见仁见智,哪能分得出高下。 Xu Boyi cannot bear ask: „Two generals, this lock has not started!” 徐伯夷忍不住问道:“两位将军,这锁还没开啊！” Xiong Wei turns head to have a look, said suddenly: „! The father-in-law also please wait a bit, the key is not at me and other in the hands, has the person in duty place to enter cabinet taking care, Xiong has sent people to hold to open the door to make to take.” 熊伟扭头看看,恍然道:“啊！公公还请稍等,钥匙不在我等手里,另有当值处的人入柜保管,熊某已经派人持启门令去取了。” Xu Boyi is anxious the perspiration to leave like the thick liquid, may remember Emperor Zhengde midnight to return to the palace to be denied entrance initially, Xu Boyi obtained some comforts, has to bear the temper. 徐伯夷已然急得汗出如浆,可想起当初正德皇帝半夜想回宫都吃了闭门羹,徐伯夷得到些许安慰,只好耐着性子等。 A while time, the person in duty place has examined the opening the door command, took the key to come, more than two chi (0.33 m) long inserted the copper lock with the big key of jade pleasant as, „snap~”, that lock started. The people in one side two duty places take down the lock to fall back on with joint forces, then several gate guard warriors go forward to open the heavy imperial city gate. 一会儿功夫,当值处的人验过启门令,拿着钥匙来了,两尺多长跟玉如意似的大钥匙插进铜锁,“咔嚓”一声,那锁就开了。两个当值处的人合力取下锁头退到一边,便有几个门卫武士上前拉开沉重的宫门。 The imperial city gate opens, the heart of Xu Boyi flew, he just about to pulls out runs fully outward, held on by Xiong Wei. Xu Boyi looks at Xiong Wei with trepidation: „What matter does general have?” 宫门一开,徐伯夷的心就飞了出去,他刚要拔足向外跑,又被熊伟一把拉住。徐伯夷提心吊胆地看着熊伟:“将军还有何事？” Xiong Wei sincere say/way: „Father-in-law goes out, was held on the body carefully several transparent holes!” 熊伟正色道:“公公这么出去,小心被人在身上捅几个透明窟窿！” Xu Boyi: „?” 徐伯夷:“啊？” Li Xinggang waves, then the soldier arrives by the imperial city gate in the stone steps, gathers by a parapet. Under the imperial city gate has the lantern, illuminates clearly, on the parapet in stone steps the cosmetic stone columns, the mast top has a sphere every three feet. 李兴钢挥了挥手,便有一个士兵走到宫门旁石阶上,凑到一处栏杆旁。宫门下有灯笼,照得清楚,石阶上的栏杆上每隔三尺有一个装饰性的石柱,柱顶有一个圆球。 This east and west Xu Boyi has seen actually, before he was the court eunuch who was responsible for sprinkling with water and sweep, has cleaned that east and west, the sphere of that stone fence peak close to imperial city gate several differences of elsewhere, its peak had many eyelets, but Xu Boyi does not know why it the difference from elsewhere, had what/anything to affect. 这个东西徐伯夷倒是见过,以前他是负责洒扫的太监,擦拭过那东西,那石栏顶端的圆球临近宫门的几个与别处的不同,它顶端有不少小孔,但徐伯夷一直不知道它为什么与别处的不同,有什么作用。 Sees that soldier gathering stone Qiuqian, collects the mouth, made an effort to blow. This east and west actually called „stone do not pull”, was alarm apparatus of stone system, once sounded, can send out very resonantly wū wū sound. 就见那个士兵凑到石球前,把嘴凑上去,用力吹了起来。这东西其实叫“石别拉”,是一种石制的报警器,一旦吹响,可以发出很嘹亮的呜呜声。 Moreover, even if there is a gale not to need to be worried to blow the small ball by mistake, it must be able to sound with the special method, only then some special guard warrior or the imperial palace guard court eunuch understood the method of playing. 而且,哪怕有大风也不用担心会误吹小球,它必须用特别的方法才能吹响,只有一些专门的侍卫武士或内廷的侍卫太监才懂得吹奏的方法。 The guard sounded stone do not pull by a special rhythm, moment Kung Fu, that side Hall of Preserving Harmony also has the similar rhythm wū wū the sound transmits. Xiong Wei said with a smile to Xu Boyi: „Becoming! The father-in-law invited! Father-in-law bon voyage!” 那侍卫以一种特殊的节奏吹响了石别拉,片刻功夫,保和殿那边也有同样节奏的呜呜声传来。熊伟对徐伯夷笑道:“成啦！公公请！公公一路顺风啊！” Xiong Wei these words pursued Xu Boyi saying that because Xu Boyi, when he said „became”, has pulled up the robe front, the arrow fled generally. 熊伟这句话是追着徐伯夷说的,因为徐伯夷在他说“成啦”的时候,就已一撩袍裾,箭一般窜了出去。 Hall of Preserving Harmony, Zhonghedian, Taihedian, Taihemen and Wumen, entrance guards, although cannot compare to do the clear gate to defend the governing sternness, but is not makes to open, each place needs two generals to comparing to tally, the person by duty place opens the big lock again. 保和殿、中和殿、太和殿、太和门、午门,一道道门禁虽然比不得乾清门守御之森严,可也不是令到即开,每处地方都需要两位将军对勘合符,再由当值处的人打开大锁。 But in this process was short went to the cabinet and calls all parties to command to agree the process of examination, on the other hand was quick many. When the Xu Boyi quick steps go out of Miyag, the night breeze blows, penetrates to the bone to live coolly, this discovered that perspired heavily. 只不过这个过程中少了去内阁并召集各方统领合议审批的过程,相对来说还是快的多。徐伯夷疾步走出宫城时,晚风一吹,透骨生凉,这才发现出了一身透汗。 Xu Boyi long implored the tone, talking in heart: „So situation, how long when I rush to that Xia Yingying dwelling not to know to want, must has a horse to ride instead of walking, good quick to return quickly!” 徐伯夷长长地吁了口气,心道:“这般情况,等我赶到那夏莹莹的住处还不知要多久,须得有匹马儿代步,才好快去快回！” Thinks of here, Xu Boyi pull foot/enough then walks, he planned that Ministry of War borrows the horse. Xu Boyi goes to Ministry of War to pass on two instructions from superior for the emperor, felt the official who Ministry of War is on duty perhaps also knows him, may borrow a fast horse. 想到这里,徐伯夷拔足便走,他打算去兵部借马。徐伯夷替皇帝去兵部传过两次口谕,觉得兵部当值的官员没准儿还认识他,可借一匹快马。 Does not think that Xu Boyi expels in a hurry not far, but also without arriving at six yamen (government office) is, by the front path then lightens a row of common soldier, shouted sternly: „Halts! Any person, usual name report surname!” 不想徐伯夷匆匆赶出不远,还没到六部衙门所在,前方道路旁便闪出一排兵士,厉声喝道:“站住！什么人,通名报姓！” Xu Boyi has a scare, hurries to shout loudly: „Do not put the arrow, the person on one's own side! People on one's own side!” 徐伯夷吓了一跳,赶紧高呼道:“不要放箭,自己人！自己人呐！” These border guard where have the bow and arrow, is the waist sword lances, more than ten common soldiers encircle, raised the lantern to illuminate the photo, saw his court eunuch long gown, was the group leader tone of head was slightly moderate: „Why does this father-in-law midnight walk in this?” 那些戍卒哪有弓箭,都是腰刀长矛,十几个兵士围上来,提起灯笼照了照,见他一身太监袍服,为首的小头目口气稍稍缓和了些:“这位公公为何半夜行走于此？” The group leader looks that Xu Boyi look has to be vigilant, thinks he is the court eunuch who absconds leaves the palace, or stole what/anything in the palace, an eye is sizing up up and down, looks at the thief to be ordinary. 那小头目看着徐伯夷的眼神儿还是有所警惕,以为他是私逃出宫的太监,又或者是在宫中盗窃了什么,一双眼睛上下打量着,看贼一般。 Xu Boyi takes out the imperial edict life to give that group leader, said: „Me receive orders to leave the palace, have the urgent matter. Here has the imperial edict life of emperor, the general may remove examines!” 徐伯夷取出敕命交给那个小头目,道:“咱家奉旨出宫,有急事。这里有皇上的敕命,将军可取去验看！” The group leader looked, looks seem like real, is by lesser official of his rank, where can debate the clear truth. The group leaders the lantern were looking earnestly, to the Xu Boyi polite said/tunnel: „In view of this, invited this father-in-law slightly along with walked, saw our walking the watch officer General king!” 那小头目看了看,看着倒像是真的,可是以他这种级别的小官儿,哪能辩得清真伪。小头目就着灯笼认真地看了看,对徐伯夷客气地道:“既如此,请这位公公随小的走一趟,见一见我们的走更官王将军！” Xu Boyi was really driven beyond the limits of forbearance, gets angry: „Now has passed the midnight, me receive orders, really have the urgent matter in the body, what walking the watch officer but can also see?” 徐伯夷真的是忍无可忍了,怒道:“如今已过午夜,咱家奉旨,确有急事在身,还要去见什么走更官？” The group leader does not dare to get angry to him, but explained politely: „Father-in-law should not be angry, in this palace wall has the standard-bearer health/guard and imperial guards health/guard cruise to surround and protect, respectively one person is responsible for by commanding officer tie blade thousand households and hundred households, without them signs and issues made the spy general, small does not dare to allow to pass!” 那小头目倒不敢冲他发火,只是客气地解释:“公公勿恼,这皇城里有旗手卫、羽林卫巡弋拱卫,各由一名都督领带刀千户、百户各一人负责,如果没有他们签发的通行令谍,小的是绝不敢放行的！” Xu Boyi just raised the imperial edict life, the group leader had said: „Small has not seen the imperial edict life, only recognizes the military order!” 徐伯夷刚刚扬起敕命,那小头目已然道:“小的没见过敕命,只认得军令！” This is really the scholar meets the soldier, does not talk clearly rational, Xu Boyi put down the hand dejected, the group leader good intention reminded: „Father-in-law best go to the gold/metal I to protect again also uses together the seal, because in Capital City also has gold/metal my health/guard Xunge, without the copy of gold/metal my general, the father-in-law or the line can not.” 这真是秀才遇见兵,有理说不清,徐伯夷颓然放下了手,那小头目好心提醒道:“公公最好再去金吾卫也加盖一道印章,因为京城里还有金吾卫巡戈,没有金吾将军的印鉴,公公还是行不得。” Xu Boyi stamps the feet, said: „In view of this, leads me to see them in a big hurry!” 徐伯夷跺了跺脚,道:“既如此,快快带我去见他们！” Miyag, palace wall and Capital City, guard respectively, when Yunglo 17, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di once assigned/life the ministry of public works special casting the copper symbol and night patrol of guarding a gate bronze medal, patrol officer holds left half, the guardian holds right half, as the patrolling dagger-axe and general conducting an inquest thing. 宫城、皇城、京城,各有戍卫,永乐17年时,永乐皇帝朱棣曾经命工部专门铸造了守门的铜符和夜巡的铜牌,巡检官持左半,守卫者持右半,作为巡戈和通行的勘验之物。 When Xu Boyi rushes the gold/metal I protect, the footsteps have staggered, worn out. The gold/metal I protect to take turns on duty commanding officer Sir Wang Hai yu king am will work, looks at this father-in-law to look like only soft foot shrimp, before is the governing, walk court eunuch, clearly is emperor present favorite, therefore delivered him a horse, sent eight to protect the army to escort. 徐伯夷赶到金吾卫时,已经脚步踉跄,有气无力。金吾卫轮值都督王海宇王大人是个会做事的,瞧这位公公像只软脚虾似的,既然是御前行走太监,分明是皇上眼前的红人儿,所以送了他一匹马,又派了八个护军护送。 Xu Boyi must go to a palace external connection beautiful woman, in the hand that imperial edict life suffused the red seal, cannot cover directly, the back covered two, this procedure is simultaneous/uniform living. 徐伯夷只是要去宫外接个美人儿而已,手中那道敕命盖满了红红的印章,正面盖不下,背面都盖了两个,这手续才算齐活。 Eight protect the army to accompany Xu Boyi to dash about wildly at midnight, the vertical horse had/left the palace wall, directly soars Western city to go. Bumps into the gold/metal my health/guard Xunzhi officers all the way unceasingly, but the Xu Boyi procedure is complete, there is a gold/metal I to protect the pro- soldier guard who the commanding officer sends, has not delayed along the way actually too for a long time. 八名护军陪着徐伯夷午夜狂奔,纵马出了皇城,直奔西城而去。一路上不断碰上金吾卫巡值官兵,但是徐伯夷手续齐全,又有金吾卫都督派来的亲兵护卫,沿途倒是没耽搁太长时间。 ...... Capital City was too big, when Xu Boyi rushes to Western city Xia Yingying mother's and daughter's dwelling place, the East had appeared fish-belly white. 只是……京城太大了,徐伯夷赶到西城夏莹莹母女的居处时,东方已经出现了鱼肚白。 Xia Yingying and her mother can live in the hall post, but they are the females, lives in the hall post many inconveniences. Guizhou province that place wants poor many compared with Central Plain, however there headman others may be richer than Central Plain most rich and powerful family aristocratic families, renting dwelling nature is easy, therefore they rented a dwelling, the dwelling is refined, the surrounding scenery is also beautiful. 夏莹莹和她娘本来可以住在馆驿里的,但是她们是女子,住在馆驿里诸多不便。贵州那地方比起中原来要贫穷的多,但是那儿的土司人家可比中原大部分的豪门世家还要有钱,租住一所宅院自然容易,所以他们就租下了一处宅院,宅院雅致,周围的风光也秀丽。 Xu Boyi had investigated thoroughly her dwelling, before arriving at the gate, then made one to go forward to knock at the door, when Xia Yingying has not seen mother to come back very much late, knew to by Chen Taifei staying overnight palace. In the palace could be said as the safest place, but can also have an accident? Yingying then went to sleep safely. 徐伯夷早就就查清了她的住处,一到门前便叫人上前叫门,夏莹莹等到很晚还没见娘亲回来,就知道必是被陈太妃留宿宫中了。宫里可以说是最安全的地方了,还能出什么事？莹莹便安心睡下了。 The Xia Family guard warrior listened to the person saying that the madame contracted the grave illness, in the palace sent people to meet the young lady, after being startled hurries to dash , the dwelling notifies, the Xia Yingying sleepy eyes got up awake loosely, one hear of this saying also worried, hurried to wear the clothes, sharply before sharply rushed, dwelling. 夏家的护卫武士听来人说夫人患了重疾,宫中派人来接小姐,惊得赶紧飞奔到后宅报信,夏莹莹睡眼惺松地起来,一听这话也着急了,赶紧穿好衣裳,急急赶到前宅。 Xu Boyi has not had to do with Xia Yingying directly, moreover after he became the court eunuch, the beard fell did not have, the muscle was also loose, the appearance has very big change, only if the extremely familiar person, has been unlikely to recognize him, but Xu Boyi feared Xia Yingying looked at his status, saw Xia Yingying then to lower the head immediately. 徐伯夷没和夏莹莹正面打过交道,而且他成了太监后,胡子掉没了,肌肉也松驰下来,面相已经有了很大改变,除非极熟悉的人,已经不大可能认得出他,可徐伯夷还是怕夏莹莹瞧出他的身份,一见夏莹莹便马上低下了头。 Yingying has not cared, when a worry mother's condition, and she enters the palace, has looked at these court eunuches, each one is grovels, raises face comes to see the person has not really seen, thinks them always so. 莹莹没在意,一则忧心母亲的病情,二来她进宫时,瞧过那些太监,个个都是点头哈腰的,扬起脸儿来看人的还真没见过,以为他们一向如此呢。 Yingying urgently said: „This father-in-law, my mother how?” 莹莹急道:“这位公公,我娘怎么了？” Xu Boyi lowers the head saying: „Girl, too the imperial concubine empress and your mother really chatted is happy, therefore stays overnight your mother tonight in the palace, who expected......” 徐伯夷垂首道:“姑娘,太妃娘娘和令堂聊得甚是开心,所以今晚把令堂留宿在宫中了,谁料到了……” Xu Boyi turns the face away to have a look at the weather, said: „Who expected the midnight, your mother thinks suddenly the abdomen continues sorely, in the palace has called the imperial physician diagnosis, but looks at your mother's condition, is really......, therefore the emperor sends the servants to take the miss to enter the palace, facilitates nearby takes care of!” 徐伯夷扭脸看看天色,道:“谁料到了半夜,令堂忽觉腹疼不止,宫中已经唤了太医诊治,可是瞧令堂的病情,实在是……,所以皇上派奴婢来接姑娘入宫,方便就近照应！” Yingying was anxious the perspiration to get down, hurried say/way: „Good! Our walks, in a big hurry quick......” 莹莹急得汗都下来了,急忙道:“好！我们这就走,快快快……” Xia Residence guard when informs her, has prepared the horses emperor, at this time opened the front door, lifts the threshold, the carriages and horses drives, Yingying boards the vehicle anxiously anxiously, is too busy told: „Walks quickly, immediately enters the palace!” 夏府护卫在通知她的时候,就已准备马匹车驾了,这时开了大门,抬起门槛,车马驶出来,莹莹急急登上车子,忙不迭地吩咐:“快走,马上入宫！” Xu Boyi pulls the saddle to start, in the dim light of night not mince shows a sinister and self-satisfied smiling face, raises the sound said: „Starts, returns to the palace!” 徐伯夷扳鞍上马,夜色中毫不掩饰地露出一副阴险、得意的笑容,扬声道:“启程,回宫！” : Strove for honestly :诚求
