"Actually, he has been guarding me." Changliujun said, "The only person he trusts is Changpin."
This is a very dangerous thing, Duan Ling always felt that Mu Kuangda must have a backer, and a person with such great ambition must be prepared accordingly. It is impossible to kill the king without any preparation.
"I suggest that you send Lord Changliu back." Fei Hongde said, "One can be convicted and meritorious, and two can investigate Mu Kuangda."
"No." This time, Duan Ling shook his head and said to Fei Hongde, "This is not the safest method, Mu Kuangda no longer believes him."
"He'll believe it, as long as there's a good reason," Feihonde said.
"No, no," Duan Ling said. "There can be no risk in this matter."
This is not the first time Duan Ling has rejected Fei Hongde's proposal.
"I won't let him go back. It's also for another suitable reason." Duan Ling said to Fei Hongde, "Sir, please believe me, it's a variable to let Lord Changliu return to the minister at this time."
Duan Ling knew about the relationship between Changliujun and Muqing, but he did not tell Fei Hongde. He knew that Lord Changliu could do anything for Muqing, and now let Changliu go back, if Changliu was impulsive, he might take Muqing and fly away.
He understood Changliu-jun's mood too well, just like his father's mood back then. Sometimes my father would suddenly say that, seeing his smile, maybe he could give up everything. He wanted to simply give up everything in the south, leave the noisy Central Plains with him, and go to a place where no one could find them and live a quiet life.
Fei Hongde has no son and cannot understand this feeling.
Duan Ling believed that Changliu-jun definitely came to look for him with the idea of giving it a try. Since the assassination of Li Yanqiu failed, Nan Fang set up a net to wait for Changliu Jun to return. He had no way to escape, so he came to Yecheng to negotiate with himself. If the negotiation fails, the next choice waiting for him is to take the risk, return to Jiangzhou, and without any reason, take Muqing away.
"Then, you can only go back by yourself." Fei Hongde said.
Wu Du's expression changed, Duan Ling thought about it for a long time, and had to admit that Fei Hongde's words could always tell the truth.
"You're right, Mr. Fei Hongde." Duan Ling replied, "I do plan to go back, but I need to find out a direction."
Duan Ling believed in Li Yanqiu, but he didn't dare to pin his hopes on Li Yanqiu. He had tried to trust Li Yanqiu once, but no matter what, he always felt that people couldn't fight against God. In the whirlpool of fate, he must do something, otherwise, after thinking about it, everything will be regrettable.
"That's it." Duan Ling stretched out, yawned, and told Jun Changliu to go down to rest first, saying, "I need time to investigate these days to prevent any possible changes."
Duan Ling no longer mentioned the next plan, and Wu Du did not ask any further questions.
The spring in the north came very late, and the snow and ice did not melt during the long January, but after the third day of the new year, Duan Ling ordered to go ahead and implement the New Deal. The caravan sent by Yao Fu came, communicated with Hebei, and brought seeds.
Wu Du led his troops and swept the nearby cottages. It was once said that the Hebei mountain bandits were rampant, but now it seems to be the same. Most of the young and middle-aged people in the mountains were active in Hejian City. The last time they were almost taken away by Qin Taki, they went to assassinate Li Yanqiu.
This time, Duan Ling did not go to investigate anything. After all, there were only less than 2,000 old and weak women and children left in the original cottage, so Duan Ling asked Wu Du to bring them down and place them in Hejian City. Those who wish to make a marriage promise to be married, and those who do not want to make a marriage will live on their own.
On the day of the snowy spring ploughing, a letter from the south came. It was sent by a soldier of the Heijia Army in person, and it contained a letter from Xie You.
Duan Ling didn't know whether Xie You knew his identity, maybe it was just Li Yanqiu who told him to investigate, but it was certain that Xie You already knew that Li Yanqiu was going to deal with Mu Kuangda.
The letter was about the life experience of Lord Changliu who was inquired by Duan Ling last time. Xie You investigated with the network of the Heijia Army and it was true. Among them, the Sun family members of all generations, Duan Ling specially summoned Lord Changliu, and asked them one by one, and Lord Changliu could answer them all.
This could not have been done by investigation in advance. After all, Mu Kuangda sent Lord Changliu to assassinate him, and no one would have thought that Lord Changliu would come to Duanling specially.
Xie You's letter further informed that Mu Kuangda had nothing to do with the former Sun family in Xichuan, nor did he send anyone to read the information of the Sun family. In this way, Duan Ling was finally relieved and gave the antidote to Lord Changliu.
"When are we going back?" Changliu-jun looked at the antidote and asked, "Are you going?"
"Not yet." Duan Ling said, "Just to detoxify you."
Lord Changliu said, "Without martial arts, there will be less troubles."
Having said that, Duan Ling knew that Lord Changliu was more concerned about the South.
"Just bear with it." Duan Ling said, "If you dare to leave by yourself, don't blame me."
Changliu-jun was busy saying that, since he is loyal, he will naturally not look back. However, Duan Ling also knew very well that Lord Changliu was more or less worried, worried that when it was time to plead for mercy, Duan Ling would be able to help Muqing exonerate.
"Don't talk about it." Wu Du was so talkative by Changliu-jun that his ears became cocooned, and he said, "Why are you so long-winded?",
Lord Changliu repeatedly asked Wu Du to confirm that Wang Shan would definitely be able to save Muqing. His Majesty highly valued Wang Shan, because he had the ability to save drivers... Wu Du was already very impatient with him.
One yuan resumes, and all phenomena are renewed. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the second day of the second lunar month, and on the day of the Shangsi Festival, a group of bachelors from the Yecheng army were courting by the riverside. Duan Ling couldn't bear to see him.
"What's so beautiful!" Wu Du said, "Don't look at it."
Each soldier's muscles were distinct, and Duan Ling couldn't help but glance at him, and was taken away by Wu Du riding a horse.
"It's been March." Duan Ling soaked in the hot spring and said, "Jiangzhou hasn't made any movement yet."
"Are you in a hurry to go back?" Wu Du asked.
"Changliu-kun is in a hurry." Duan Ling said, "I think he just can't sit still."
Wu Du replied, "You have to trust your fourth uncle."
Duan Ling felt more and more insecure, just like waiting in Beijing back then, but it stands to reason that with Zheng Yan by Li Yanqiu's side, nothing should happen.
But that year, Wu Du was also by Li Jianhong's side.
Duan Ling calmed down and knew that no matter what, this would be the last year he and Wu Du spent in Hebei. In April, there was a lot of news from the south that the imperial court promoted a group of young and promising officials, and it was another year of employment.
The wheat field was full of green, and the summer wind was blowing.
Lin Yunqi found Duan Ling, who was patrolling outside the city, and said to Duan Ling, "Lord Prefect, it's time to report on your duties. Today | someone from the imperial court has arrived. There are other matters that should be assessed, and you have to arrange them."
Duan Ling wiped his hands and asked, "Who is coming?"
"Master Huang, the inspector of the three counties." Lin Yun replied, "He is in charge of Henan, Hebei, and Shandong. It's yours."
Duan Ling immediately ran towards the city. Huang Jian was talking to Shi Qi in the mansion and asking about Yecheng's finances. Duan Ling rushed in with a cheer and rushed with Huang Jian.
"How is the teacher?" Duan Ling smiled.
"It's been almost a month since I went to see him." Huang Jian asked Duan Ling to sit down first, without being polite, he poured tea for him with a smile, obviously not treating himself as a guest, and said, "Everyone let me Come here and take a good look at you."
In the same year, only Duan Ling did not share friendship. He hurriedly took office after clicking Tanhua. Now that he thinks about it, he can only recognize the bowl of noodles he ate that night when he left Jiangzhou and a few jinshi, and they exchanged greetings immediately.
"Your Majesty has promoted a lot of newcomers," Huang Jian said. "We have all submitted letters and want to transfer you back. If you say that all the adults who entered the university in the same year, you have achieved outstanding political achievements, and no one can surpass you."
When Changliu-jun walked outside the door, Duan Ling heard the noise and knew that he was coming. He frowned slightly, thought about it, and asked, "How is Muqing?"
"It's still the same." Huang Jian said with a smile, "I'm being punished for copying books."
When Duan Ling heard this, he felt relieved and asked about the affairs of the court. He knew that there were many new recruits in the three departments of household, ritual, and work. It has been a year since the palace exam last year.
This year will be a year in which the newcomers are familiar with political affairs, but they are not yet considered as officials in the real court, because after these three years, everyone still needs to go out to the public.
After being released for three years, and then being recalled by the court, it is considered that he has truly embarked on a career. In other words, if Duan Ling is an ordinary jinshi, this is already a step up from the sky. After ordering Tanhua, they will be released first. The others are all the county magistrates who are subordinate to the sixth rank or left behind to push officials. Only Duan Ling has released a prefect. Although he was ordered in a crisis, he did what others dare not do, but he did. In this way, nature is not the same.
When he was transferred back to the DPRK, Duan Ling's official position only rose but not descended. Since the founding of the Great Chen state, only a few people have been able to have this official luck. And the last person who was promoted so quickly, and was promoted to Zaifu at the age of thirty-eight, was Mu Kuangda.
Unexpectedly, this group of brothers and sisters still wanted to jointly sign a letter, push him, and bring him back to Beijing. As soon as he goes back, he has to be promoted. In this way, Duan Ling is not yet eighteen years old, and he will become a senior member of the fourth rank.
Sitting in this position at the age of seventeen, the censor must have shouted that the country would be subjugated, but Duan Ling occasionally thought that if Huang Jian found out that this junior brother had actually become a prince, he would really faint from fright.
"Of course I don't dare to go back now." Duan Ling said, "Hebei has no political achievements."
Huang Jian said: "I have received His Majesty's grace this spring, and I have really asked you several times. Now that Hebei has risen to peace, there is no worry of mountain bandits inside, and no disturbance from Yuan people outside. It's all your credit. Letting you stay in Yecheng, It's really overkill... Captain of the military school, it's a pleasure to meet, a pleasure to meet."
Wu Du also came in, but nodded to Huang Jian.
Huang Jian and Duan Ling were from the same family, and they spoke politely to each other. When they met Wu Du, they were not so polite. They must have heard that this guy was difficult to deal with when they came. So he changed his tone, clasped his fists and said, "At His Majesty's order, I came to inspect Hebei. If there is anything inappropriate, please bear with me."
