A middle-aged man with an elegant appearance appeared outside the Xiamawei Posthouse. The anxious Yicheng looked at this guy who made him feel weird, and heard that he called himself Wu Qi, and said that he could enter as long as he informed the King of Beiliang. Seeing his outstanding demeanor, he didn't dare to neglect, but the postman didn't see the prince, so he was stopped by the man surnamed Xu who was acting as a groom at the gate of the small courtyard, and then the two walked back to the gate of the posthouse together. Xu Yanbing and Wu Qi stood outside the door respectively, the latter smiled and said, "Long time no see."
Xu Yanbing didn't mean to give way, and said indifferently, "Since he didn't show up in Beimang, isn't it too late to meet relatives at this time? Why, it's not fun to be a general in Xishu?"
Wu Qi laughed and said: "Liu Yanbing... oh no, I heard that you gave my brother-in-law the surname Xu, now I should call you Xu Yanbing, no matter whether I am in Beimang or Xishu, an uncle visits my nephew , you want to stop it too?"
Xu Yanbing sneered, "If you want to die, I won't stop you."
Wu Qi sniffled, "You have such a great temperament, you are worthy of being a great master of martial arts who is evenly matched with the king of Shu, don't kill me, I was scared to death."
Suddenly, the guy who claimed to be the uncle of Prince Beiliang shouted: "Nephew..."
There was a loud bang.
Wu Qi slid out of the door of Xiamawei post house for more than ten feet.
Xu Yanbing slowly withdrew his feet and rubbed the soles of his feet on the threshold, as if he thought his boots were dirty.
Wu Qi, who was leaning back but did not fall to the ground, stood up straight, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and continued to walk to the gate without becoming angry. At this time, Xu Fengnian, who had changed into clean clothes, had already arrived at the gate, and Xu Yanbing stepped aside .
Wu Qi restrained his cynical look, and he no longer had the idea of breaking into the posthouse, so he stood outside the threshold, "I, Wu Qi, never thought of four things in my life. , you defended Beiliang, and you were able to leave Qin Tianjian alive in the end."
Xu Fengnian had a complicated expression, "Why don't you come in and have a cup of tea?"
Wu Qi shook his head and said, "No, no matter what I do, right or wrong, I don't regret it. Since I didn't show up to see your nephew in Beimang back then, I'm not qualified to enter the house today. I will pay you back."
Xu Fengnian asked: "Is there something wrong?"
Wu Qi still shook his head, "I just came to tell you that your trip to Beimang was not in vain, and some of Li Yishan's arrangements have already begun to change after hearing the wind, but I would like to remind you, even so, don't expect them to send charcoal in a timely manner, even the last Well, even the idea of icing on the cake is saved, the Beimang Taiping Order may not be alert to this matter, be careful of the oriole."
Xu Fengnian nodded and said, "Understood."
Wu Qi grinned and said: "In the future, if there is a day when swords and swords face each other on the battlefield, Chen Zhibao will not show mercy, and neither will I. I hope you can do the same."
Xu Fengnian said: "No problem."
Just as Wu Qi was about to speak, he heard his nephew remind him in a very "understanding" way: "If you want to vomit blood, vomit first."
Wu Qi's face turned black immediately, he snorted coldly, clutched his chest and turned to leave.
Xu Yanbing glanced at the back, held back his smile, and said softly, "My foot is not heavy."
Xu Fengnian hummed, "That's why I said that."
Xu Yanbing was speechless.
That sentence seems to be much heavier than my own foot.
Xu Yanbing suddenly turned his head to look, Xu Fengnian said helplessly, "Forget it."
The Zhupao woman and a certain girl who were already eager to try not far away gave up.
Xu Yanbing said with a smile: "Then I went to find wine to drink, and there is not even a pot of green ant wine in the post house, it is too shameful."
After speaking, Xu Yanbing walked towards a restaurant on the street.
Unlike yesterday's Xiamawei Posthouse, which was packed with dignitaries and heroes who were mostly men, the seats in restaurants, inns and teahouses today are almost all women! There are young women, there are plump women, and there are even many young girls who are in the middle of their bodies!
When Xu Fengnian appeared at the door to meet Wu Qi, all the windows poked out the scheming heads almost at the same time, and all their eyes lit up.
Some are reserved and affectionate, some are bold looking at each other, and some are timid and shy.
There is even a bold and unrestrained woman who is not ashamed, calling the name of King Beiliang loudly.
Before Xu Yanbing entered the restaurant, countless handkerchiefs, round fans, and sachets floated above his head...a big burst of fragrant rain.
Those Yingying and Yanyan all said something similar to "excuse this strong man from Beiliang to give the small fan to the prince", and many women ran out of the house, not daring to approach Xu Yanbing, anyway, they put the letter in their hands to the latter As soon as he lost his body, he turned and ran away.
Xu Yanbing, a half-step martial saint, couldn't bear this kind of terrifying battle.
Upstairs and downstairs on both sides of the street are whispers of soft words.
"Look, look, I told you a long time ago that my Mr. Xu is the most handsome man in the world, you still don't believe me! You must be crazy now!"
"Ah, the eyes are about to become pregnant. If the prince can walk out of the gate of the post house and get closer, and listen to him say a few words, death will be worth it."
"Our handsome young men in Tai'an City are far worse than my elder brother Xu together. It can't be done, it's too beautiful, and you will get drunk when you look at it from a distance!"
"It's a pity that I couldn't sneak out yesterday, otherwise I would have seen the heroic appearance of this prince, let me lean on my shoulder, I will cry for a while..."
"I've decided that I won't marry unless Mr. Xu is the only one in this life. Well, it's really not possible. It's okay to be a housemaid."
Xu Yanbing patted a sachet off his shoulder, turned around decisively and walked back to the Xiamawei post house, thinking whether to let the prince leave Tai'an City earlier
Aren't the ladies in the capital too powerful
Xu Fengnian had brought Jia Jiajia and Xu Ying back to the yard.
Dressed in purple, she uninvited and lay on the rattan chair under the eaves, closing her eyes and resting her mind.
Xu Fengnian also brought a wicker chair, and the red-robed woman who took off her veil squatted beside Xu Fengnian, and Miss Hehe sat on the steps, conjuring another scallion pancake out of nowhere, gnawing on it bit by bit.
Xu Fengnian lay on the chair and asked softly, "Why haven't you returned to Huishan?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng didn't speak.
Xu Fengnian opened his eyes and looked at the eaves.
When I came to Beijing that year, I also stayed at the Xiamawei post house, on the rattan chair in this courtyard.
Xu Fengnian chatted with this madwoman about snowmen and ideals.
It was also that time that the idiot with the wooden sword left the rivers and lakes.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng didn't open his eyes, and asked coldly: "Over the years, have you pitied me, or pitied yourself?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, "It's all there."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng fell silent.
Xu Fengnian said: "Yesterday you helped me suppress Qi Jiajie's sword energy, thank you."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said coldly: "You owe me number one in the world."
Xu Fengnian smiled angrily and said, "I know, I know, as long as it's for business, I'll take care of everything."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng started to do something, and said to himself: "Business?"
The next moment, there was only a breeze blowing under the eaves.
Xu Fengnian turned his head to look at the wicker chair that was no longer in purple clothes, stood up, and sat beside Miss Hehe, she took out another scallion pancake, without turning her head, raised her hand in front of Xu Fengnian.
Xu Fengnian took the somewhat blunt cold cake and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Xu Ying in the red robe stood in the courtyard, Xu Fengnian said vaguely: "Turn one!"
The ball of bright red spins non-stop, pleasing to the eye.
Xu Fengnian smiled brightly.
…
After Zhongshu ordered Qi Yanglong to leave the Qin Tianjian in cloth clothes, the old man, under the personal guidance of the eunuch Song Tanglu, who was in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, walked to a small hall in the transitional position between the inner and outer courts of Liyang, the Yangshen Hall.
The newly-used Yangshen Temple is located in the inner court, but it is closely connected with the outer court. In addition, a total of twelve scholars in the palace and pavilion are handling government affairs near the Yangshen Temple, which makes the Yangshen Temple, which had been abandoned for many years, become a veritable palace. The main center, the Yangshen Hall occupies a small area and is in the shape of an I. It is a typical front hall and a back bedroom. In the hall, a large plaque of "Zhongzheng Peace" written by the late emperor Zhao Dun was hung. The introductions and calls were also held here, and there were several groups of Xinjiang officials who had recently entered Beijing, such as Huang Weidong, the former director of Tian Zong of the Gu Party, Hong Lingshu, the former leader of the old Qing Party, and Wu Chongxuan, the southern Xinjiang general who succeeded Lu Baijie as Minister of the Ministry of War. After Han Lin, the head of the Liaodong Peng family, who was the minister of the Ministry of punishment, all came here to meet the emperor one after another.
When Qi Yanglong stepped into the Ming Dynasty of the Yangshen Hall, Huan Wenwen, Zuo Sanqi's regular attendant, Chen Wang, the chief minister of the province, was already present. Zhao Youling, who assisted the old man in running the Zhongshu Province, and Yin Maochun, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, were married to each other despite their political differences. The in-laws are also in the ranks, but the two adults stand quite far away, not only does not have a harmonious atmosphere, but reveals a somewhat alienated appearance. Among the six palace scholars, only Wuyingdian University scholar Wen Shourenhe Yan Jiexi, the grand scholar of Dongyuan Pavilion, entered here, but none of the newly established Grand Scholars of Guan Pavilion appeared.
In addition, there are Changshan County King Zhao Yang, Yan Guogong Gao Shizhi, Huaiyang Marquis Song Daoning, these three Liyang dignitaries, to the general Liyang officials, they are all well-known and have not seen each other for a long time low key character.
Compared with these big figures who are either holding the court or are powerful, Tang Tieshuang, the left servant of the Ministry of War, has great power, but he is still a junior, so he sits at the back, standing next to Wen Taiyi, the spokesperson of the Qing Party in Tai'an City, The latter is a legend in the official circles of Tai'an City. He sat down on the seat of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and has not moved his nest for more than ten years. The humorous saying of "Shang Shu, the iron servant" is that Tan Tanweng often teases Wen Taiyi with the old servant Wen, so almost everyone forgets that this old servant is not yet fifty years old!
In fact, Qi Yanglong stayed in the corridor outside the house intentionally or unintentionally just now. If it were someone else, Song Tanglu, the palm print eunuch, would of course rush to urge him, but for Zhongshuling, that would be a different matter. Song Tanglu stood quietly outside with the old man, and The old scholar Wen Shouren's signature loud voice was heard, full of energy, it was hard to believe that it was the voice of an ancient and rare old man, only to hear the noble old man who led the palace say with grief and indignation: "Your Majesty, the barbarian from Beiliang It’s extremely rude, let the Ministry of Rites sweep the floor aside, and now it’s making a big fuss with the Qin Tianjian, how unbecoming! The imperial court must no longer tolerate and indulge this son, otherwise what will the imperial court face?! Your Majesty, although the old minister is a scholar, he is still a scholar. With a pair of old bones and a lot of bones that are not fading, the old minister went to Xiamawei Posthouse alone to arrest the barbarian and put him in prison. If you accuse him of this afterwards, even if the old minister dies, it will be a worthy death!"
Song Tanglu's eyes were lowered, but the roll of the eyes of adults in Zhongshuling on the side was too obvious, and the eunuch could still see the palm print clearly.
Inside the house, Changshan County King Zhao Yang, who is about the same age as Wen Shouren, looked at the juniors Gao Guogong and Song Houye beside him. The latter two were obviously a little stunned. Among the relatives of the country, there is almost no contact with foreign ministers. In the past, I only heard that the University of Wenzhou scholars in the court are strong, but seeing it with my own eyes today, I am still a little impressed. The old king of Zhao slowly looked back and frowned. As an old man in the Liyang clan, the king of Changshan, Zhao Yang, had personally experienced the beginning and end of the Spring and Autumn War. Because of a secret matter, the old Zhao Yang only got a shameful and false name as the king of the county in the end, and then he started to play with flowers, birds, fish and insects at ease, and enjoy his life leisurely. There are very few males in Changshan County Prince's Mansion. Over time, this old county king has been completely forgotten. If Song Daoning, who can barely be called young and strong, will return to the temple this time, he will have to make a big move. Then this The old king of the county seems to be struggling to death just to use his residual heat.
The University of Wen, who was famous all over the world for carrying the coffin to death, began to detail the various crimes committed by the young feudal lord after his succession. This Martial Arts Hall University scholar, is obviously going to die with the Xu family and his son. There have been rumors in Tai'an City for so many years that the University of Wenzhou has become paranoid to the point where any official in the capital with the surname Xu will not look good. The two biggest talks in Tai'an City in the past six months, one of which was related to the Wen family. It is said that the granddaughter who was doted on by the university scholar not only threatened to go to the northwest to meet the Xinliang king, but almost ran away from home. The elopement was successful, and our Lord Wen was so angry that he became seriously ill. He was bedridden for half a year. During this period, Jin Lanting, the Ministry of Rites, visited no less than three times. too similar.
Wen Taiyi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was in this room. Although his rank was actually the same as that of Chen Wang and Tang Tieshuang, even he himself knew the gap. As one of the three chariots of the Qing Party, the other two, Lu Feichi of Shangzhu State, has passed away, and the Lu family even married Beiliang, and the whole family moved to Beiliang. General Hong Lingshu of Qingzhou entered the capital from the local area. It is unclear whether the overall strength of the Qing Party will rise or fall. However, it is an undoubted general trend that youth officials will be reappointed today. In addition, Wei Dong, who also came from Qingzhou, has just become the number one figure in Guangling Navy and Qingzhou Navy, which confirms this speculation. Yin Maochun has not been in charge of the Ministry of Officials for a long time. It is impossible for Wen Taiyi, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, to become a Tianguan of Liyang, but it is not impossible to be the top leader of other ministries. Wen Taiyi appeared here a little "abruptly" today, Zhao Youling and Yin Maochun gave him a few extra glances.
The young emperor didn't interrupt Wen Shouren's passionate speech, which showed the uprightness of a civil official, but Qi Yanglong crossed the threshold, and a group of powerful officials turned their heads neatly, which made Wen Shouren stop himself, and followed the others to respect Zhongshu Let the adults salute.
Qi Yanglong stood where the chief assistant of the dynasty should stand, bowed to the emperor, and said succinctly: "I just met the king of Beiliang, and he promised to leave Beijing the day after tomorrow. Regarding the lifting of the ban on water transport, the king of Beiliang expressed the hope that the court can Before next autumn, the imperial court can deliver 500,000 shi of grain and grass to Beiliang Road."
There was a trace of doubt in Huan Wen's eyes, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhong Shuling standing beside him. It was discovered that when Qi Yanglong mentioned the number 500,000 shi, with the palm of his sleeve, he quietly made a small overturning movement in front of him.
Changshan County King drooped his eyelids, a little disappointed. As for the reason, I am afraid that only the old County King himself knows.
Tang Tieshuang, who was at the back of the Ministry of War, sneered. You, Xu Fengnian, caused such a huge storm in Tai'an City, so you dared to ask the court for half a million shi for water transportation? ! Could it be said that entering Tai'an City is not your territory anymore, and even the lion doesn't have the courage to speak up
The young emperor who was sitting on the couch took a breath, his smile flashed away, he glanced at the honorable ministers in front of him, and asked in a flat tone: "My loves, what do you think?"
Wen Shouren was about to jump out and scold the king of Xinliang when he heard Chen Wang who was standing in a row with him and Yan Jiexi speak first: "I think the king of Beiliang is the king of Beiliang, and the people of Beiliang are the people of Beiliang." , 500,000 shi can be transported by water, and you can promise to lift the ban and send it to Beiliang Road."
Wen Shouren immediately shut his mouth, and swallowed the grand speech that had reached his mouth word by word. The old scholar was still able to put on airs as a veteran of the three dynasties in front of Jin Sanlang, but this Chen Shaobao, who had never dealt with Wen Shouren, was very guilty for some reason. Occasionally, he would take the initiative to behave very kindly when he met on the road. Wen Shouren didn't show the slightest sign of admiration, which made Wen Shouren feel a little regretful deep in his heart, and also felt a little unknowingly uneasy.
Zhao Yang, the king of Changshan County who had not spoken out in the temple for many years, said in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, the soldiers of Northern Liang fought to the death outside the pass, and they deserve to be rewarded with half a million stones of grain and grass. A million stones is not too much, but Xu Fengnian, as a vassal king, has no law in the capital, this example cannot be opened, and his arrogance must not be encouraged, so the old minister thought that Xu Fengnian should not be given a single stone of food and grass!"
Yan Jiexi, a scholar of Dongyuan Pavilion, also echoed: "Your Majesty, the opinion of the king of Changshan County is seconded by the ministers. The people of Beiliang have made meritorious deeds, but the king of Beiliang has made great mistakes. Then the merits and demerits should be balanced, and the rewards and punishments should be clearly defined, which is in line with the imperial court's opinion." Law."
Tang Tieshuang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am willing to personally escort the King of Beiliang to leave the capital and capital today!"
The young emperor was noncommittal, cast his gaze, finally saw Wen Taiyi who stood at the end and was half a head shorter than Tang Shilang, and asked kindly: "Wen Shilang, do you have something to say?"
Wen Taiyi said without hesitation: "My minister thinks that the matter of lifting the ban on water transportation in Beiliang Road can be given, but it can be less or more, and it can be delayed rather than urgent."
There is a secret room on the right hand side between the hall and the bedroom. On the wall of the west gate of the secret room, there is a large picture with the names of official positions written in densely packed lower letters, which occupies most of the wall. A young man stands under the wall, looking up. He has his head, but his eyes are closed, he is a blind man in white clothes in the main center of Liyang. Although the young blind man couldn't see the content on the picture, he could feel the wordless "momentum". Once Li Yang was in power, almost all important officials, regardless of literary or martial arts, as long as their official positions reached the threshold of the fourth rank, they would all be here. The map occupies a place, from the capital to the local provinces and counties, from the six departments of the three provinces to the prefect of the governor, from the general of Zhengping Town to the general of a state, all of them are written on it, and there are very few names and their names. Behind the official position, there are two concise comments written in black and red lowercase letters, one from Yin Maochun's previous evaluation, and the other from Zhao Gou's secret evaluation.
The young blind man "looked" at this picture, as if looking at the whole Liyang.
When he heard Wen Taiyi's cross strategy of "neither less nor more, but not urgent", the young man smiled knowingly, not only agreeing with the strategy, but also a little playful and sarcastic.
The young emperor said: "The amount of water transportation will be discussed tomorrow. Today I want to discuss with you the candidates for the Jing'an Road Economic Strategy Envoy."
Almost everyone knew it well, so it was so, no wonder Wen Shilang made an unusual appearance today.
This is nothing to discuss. Now when it comes to the promotion of officials, the young emperor almost has the power to say what he says. Zhongshuling Qi Yanglong and Menxia Province Huanwen have never had any objections. Yin Maochun understands every time, and all appointments are smooth and unimpeded. So even if Wen Taiyi, who was born in Qingzhou, let go of the leader of the Jing'an Taoist civil servants, which slightly violated the Liyang etiquette system, no one would use this trivial matter to compete with His Majesty the Emperor. What's more, Wen Taiyi has been the second-in-command in charge of distributing official hats for more than ten years. Who would want to offend this deeply rooted future "young" economic envoy? Before the age of fifty, he was transferred from the sixth minister to the local economic envoy. It was obvious that he was going to return to the imperial court, and the future was promising! Maybe within ten years at the most, there will be a second-rank boss in the capital.
Wen Shouren quickly suggested that Wen Shilang is the best candidate.
Who doesn't know that the "big and small Wen" in Tai'an City are notoriously gluey
After the emperor made the final decision, Wen Taiyi naturally knelt down to thank him, tearfully grateful.
After Wen Taiyi, who was about to return to his hometown in brocade clothes to serve as the economic envoy of Jing'an Road, got up, the tall veteran dressed in the official robe of a second-rank military official walked into the room vigorously, and stood next to Tang Tieshuang without saying a word after saluting and apologizing. Shizhi and Song Daoning looked at each other quietly and smiled. The Minister of the Ministry of War could not bear to complain on the spot. I am afraid that most of you present except for the two Diange University Scholars and Wen Taiyi, who had just been promoted, had already heard about the turmoil in the Gyeonggi Southern Army camp. The general's direct descendants suffered heavy casualties, and only two martial arts masters with guns fought. As for who it was, they didn't even see their faces anyway.
What followed was a tepid Q&A between the emperor and his ministers. The young emperor focused on asking Wu Chongxuan about the recent situation of the Guangling Dao battle.
Half an hour later, this far-reaching small court meeting ended, and only Qi Yang Longhuan, Wen Chen Wang and Wu Chongxuan stayed behind.
Emperor Zhao Zhuan walked into the secret room with three civil servants. The two old men were stunned when they saw the young man. Zhao Zhuan introduced with a smile: "This is Lu Xu, a native of Qingzhou. The original intention was to hope that Mr. Lu could be one of the masters of the Qinfang Fang, but Mr. Lu refused to accept it, so I had to let Mr. Lu temporarily have no official status to teach in the Qinjian Fang."
The blind Lu Xu stood beside the emperor, and said calmly, "I have seen you, my lords."
Huan Wen nodded, smiled without saying a word, Qi Yanglong had no expression on his face, and hummed in a low voice.
The hardworking room, the place where the sons and grandsons of the dragon study.
Is this going to pave the way for the appearance in white clothes
Huan Wen suddenly looked at Qi Yanglong and asked, "Lord Zhongshu Ling, since we are here, let's open the skylight and speak honestly?"
Earlier, Qi Yanglong said in front of a large group of people that Beiliang was "begging" for 500,000 stone water transportation with the imperial court. Of course, he wanted to help the young emperor gain face. A stupid scholar like Wen Shouren would take it seriously, and many others were also skeptical and frank. Weng would never take it seriously.
Qi Yanglong pretended to be confused and looked around, "Where is the skylight here?"
Huan Wen blew his beard and stared, and wanted to settle accounts with Mr. Zhongshu Ling.
Zhao Zhuan had already smiled and said: "I plan to ban the water transport of a million stones to Beiliang, and I will hand over the matter to Wen Taiyi, who is in Qingzhou, in the future. Mr. Qi, Tan Tanweng, is it appropriate?"
Qi Yanglong nodded, Huan Wen thought for a moment, "It has to be like this."
Zhao Zhuan turned his head to look at the minister of the Ministry of War, who was full of evil spirits, "General Wu has been wronged. I will have someone thoroughly investigate the matter of the Gyeonggi Southern Army camp. General Wu must explain to the general before he returns to Guangling Road."
Wu Chongxuan clasped his fists and said: "If your majesty has this kind of heart, the general will have nothing to say. Please rest assured, the general is not the kind of courtier who doesn't understand the general situation."
Zhao Zhuan looked satisfied.
Huan Wen hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, whether it is Wen Taiyi or King Jing'an, there are old grievances with the Xu family of Beiliang, if the abolition of the government for personal reasons delays the important affairs of the court, when will it be? "
Zhao Zhuan smiled and said: "Jing'an King Zhao Xun is undoubtedly loyal, and Wen Taiyi's knowledge and achievements are all well-known. After taking on this important task, I believe that he would not dare to be sloppy in the matter of water transportation."
Huan Wen said bluntly: "My Liyang canal transportation is divided into north and south. The south transportation is mainly based on Guangling River, and the north transportation is mainly based on several sections of canals. There are also two stubborn forces. Wen Taiyi had a grudge against the chief official of the South Transportation Very deep, I am afraid that Wen Taiyi will be able to do things sincerely, but the southern water transport has been making things difficult from top to bottom, and Qingzhou General Hong Lingshu, who was able to check and balance the water transport of more than 100,000 troops, is already in the capital at this time. In the case of Liang, friction is indispensable. According to the old minister, if Wen Taiyi is to be appointed as Jing'an Dao economic strategy envoy, a deputy Jiedu envoy with strong prestige must be dispatched. It is the silt that has accumulated for many years in water transport!"
Although Huan Wen was a bit aggressive, Zhao Zhuan still nodded with his smile unchanged, "Since that's the case, I don't know if Tan Tanweng thinks that General An Dong Ma Xianliang will leave Beijing to serve as the Deputy Jiedu Envoy, how about it?"
Huan Wen was a little surprised.
Chen Wang was about to speak.
Regardless of Ma Zhongxian's ability to lead troops in battle, his reputation in the army, or his family background, with the real power of the third-rank general Anxi, he was promoted to the second-rank deputy Jiedushi under the jurisdiction of the vassal king, and it was also a promotion within the military officer system. There was a big problem, but as the son of Ma Lulang, Ma Zhongxian would be enough water transportation officials to slap his tail and not lose it. Maybe he could really take the power of water transportation from all parties back to the court, but it had nothing to do with the original intention of ensuring the smooth entry of water transportation , it is inevitable that they run in the opposite direction.
Not more so
Just when Chen Wang was ready to speak, he suddenly found himself being pulled by his sleeves. Turning his head to look, Lu Xu "looked" forward, as if he didn't reach out to stop Chen Wang at all.
Chen Wang was so cautious that he quickly dismissed the idea of admonishing him.
At the same time, Chen Wang was a little shocked. How did Lu Xu beside him know that he was going to speak
Another half an hour later, several courtiers exited the secret room, Wu Chongxuan said goodbye to the other four with a smile, and strode away first.
Qi Yanglong and Huan Wen walked side by side, while Chen Wang, the "old man" in the hardworking house, led the newcomer Lu Xu there.
The two old men and the two newcomers happened to be going in different directions, walking backwards.
Chen Wang said softly, "Thank you."
Lu Xu looked indifferent and turned a deaf ear.
Over there, Huan Wen, who didn't need the eunuchs in the palace to lead the way, sighed for no reason: "It's different."
Qi Yanglong said something disrespectful, "Why, Tan Tanweng won't be happy if His Majesty doesn't become the nodding emperor?"
Huan Wen said angrily, "Fart your fart!"
Master Zhongshu made a fuss and smelled it, "The fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus is refreshing in autumn, it's refreshing, where's the stinky fart?"
Huan Wen snorted coldly and quickened his pace, obviously unwilling to continue walking side by side with Zhong Shuling.
Qi Yanglong didn't stop him, but he also quickened his pace, and said with a soft smile: "In Qin Tianjian, the king of Beiliang personally praised my knowledge as the best in the world, Tan Tanweng, how do you feel?"
Huan Wen turned his head to look at the smug Zhongshu Ling, and said with disdain, "Who are you bluffing?"
This time it was Qi Yanglong striding forward instead.
Huan Wen looked at the back and murmured: "Is that kid blind? Or is it that this old guy has a beautiful granddaughter at home, and that kid is thinking of him?"
…
When the proprietress of the Jiujiu Pavilion entered the small courtyard under the personal leadership of Xu Yanbing, she saw a scene that made her laugh and cry. The majestic king of Beiliang was sitting on a small bench, scrubbing and washing the extremely luxurious vassal king's python robe .
The problem is that young people are very skilled in their movements!
Xu Fengnian had just washed his clothes, wrung them dry, and quickly dried them on the bamboo poles that had been erected in the courtyard. He wiped his hands and said with a smile, "Aunt Hong is here? Sit whatever you want, anyway, there are only two chairs."
Then Xu Fengnian also smiled to the young woman beside the woman, "I see Miss Chen again so soon."
Jia Jiajia and Xu Ying, who were squatting in the corridor, were playing chess. After seeing the woman and Chen Yu, they didn't pay attention. They lowered their heads and continued to play chess. Ying's chess pieces were pocketed in the big robe.
The proprietress was on the rattan chair. Chen Yu intended to stand beside Aunt Hong. Unexpectedly, the young feudal lord picked a place close to the two strange women, squatted lazily against the porch pillar, waved and smiled: " Miss Chen also sits."
The proprietress cut to the chase and said, "Fengnian, I heard that you only asked the imperial court for half a million shi for food and grass?"
Xu Fengnian was happy, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, that old fox Qi Yanglong is disrespectful, and he has the cheek to ask me not to use the knife too hard. He promised that he will have a guarantee of one million shi before autumn next year. As for the statement of 500,000 shi, it is estimated that Mr. Zhongshuling wanted to save some face for the court. Anyway, I will definitely bring tens of thousands of Beiliang cavalry troops to Guangling Road. After thinking about it, Don't go too far right now, so I agreed casually. Thinking about it now, I'm really sorry for the old man. If there is a chance in the future, I must apologize in person."
The proprietress was dumbfounded, she was silent for a long time, and finally laughed and cursed: "It's really shameless...but Aunt Hong likes it!"
Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat.
Tens of thousands of Northern Liang cavalry headed straight for Guangling Road? What does it mean
Xu Fengnian glanced at Jia Jiajia and Xu Ying's free-spirited chess moves that day, and shouted "Go here, play here", and took out a chess piece from Jia Jiajia's sable hat to help make the move. Seeing Xu Ying's resentful eyes, he hurried to play. Talking about going here and here, I also helped to settle.
Chen Yu stared with wide eyes, a little dazed.
It is clearly two long snake formations of "you don't care about me and I don't care about you", so is that considered a go player's talk
When Xu Fengnian was playing chess, he took the time to say with a hippie smile: "Aunt Hong, don't be angry about Qin Tianjian, it's not good to be angry, and it's easy to get wrinkles. Aunt Hong is still young, so you want to go out with me. I feel that I am old, and I am sure I will punch me with righteous indignation."
Aunt Hong smiled and rubbed the crow's feet at the corner of her eyes, nodded vigorously and said, "Mmm, this is true."
Chen Yu took a deep breath quietly.
Aunt Hong suddenly laughed softly: "Fengnian, am I your Aunt Hong?"
Xu Fengnian felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, so he immediately got up and ran behind the woman, carefully kneading her shoulders, "Aunt Hong, what's the matter? To be honest, don't look at me alive and kicking, I'm actually pretending to be fine for the court to see, after all Being in the capital, surrounded by enemies, it would be dangerous if you reveal your secrets! It is very difficult for me to walk now, just to prevent Aunt Hong from worrying... "
Aunt Hong shouted to the man standing at the gate of the courtyard: "Xu Yanbing, your lord said he can't walk anymore, I want to invite him to the Jiujiu Hall, or you will carry our lord to the carriage?"
Xu Yanbing laughed and said, "This..."
Xu Fengnian quickly winked.
But Xu Yanbing still said boldly: "No problem at all."
Who said "very fast gun" at the gate of Qin Tianjian earlier
Xu Fengnian said with a mournful face: "Aunt Hong, you are really not afraid of getting into trouble. I will leave the capital the day after tomorrow. Do you still want to continue to open the Jiujiu Pavilion?"
Aunt Hong got up suddenly, pulled Xu Fengnian and walked towards the gate of the courtyard. The helpless King of Beiliang turned his head and said to the chess players, "Come back and bring you delicious food."
When the group walked out of the Xiamawei posthouse and walked towards the small carriage, even Aunt Hong and Chen Yu could hear countless screams from the street in the distance.
There were some shouts, which were heart-piercing and epic.
Xu Fengnian, who wanted to ride to the Jiujiu Hall with Xu Yanbing, suddenly lost his mind, and then heard Aunt Hong smiling and said: "Look, will the business of the Jiujiu Hall be popular in the future? When the time comes, the seat you sat on, Hong Auntie needs to charge one hundred taels of silver to start, and whoever bids the most will sit, and it can only sit for half an hour! How about it?"
Xu Fengnian smiled awkwardly, "Aunt Hong, I suddenly feel a little unwell, tomorrow! I will definitely go to the Jiujiu Pavilion tomorrow to find Aunt Hong!"
Aunt Hong glared fiercely, and couldn't help but pull him into the carriage. Xu Yanbing escorted him on horseback. Looking at the almost crazy women crowded at the window door, many of them even rushed to the street. For the first time, Bing felt that the road ahead was so bumpy.
Aunt Hong and Chen Yu sat side by side, and Xu Fengnian sat in the opposite corner shyly.
Aunt Hong jokingly said, "Fengnian, didn't you think of picking some Shuiling wives to bring back to Beiliang?"
Chen Yu turned his head and looked at the curtains.
Xu Fengnian said with a headache: "Aunt Hong, please forgive me."
A Xiamawei posthouse street, the carriage drives like a tortoise crawls, and the voices of brother Xu come and go outside the window.
Xu Fengnian touched his forehead, this time he was really in a cold sweat.
Aunt Hong suddenly asked, "Have the two formations of Qin Tianjian been destroyed?"
Xu Fengnian didn't know how Aunt Hong knew the secret, nodded and said: "Most of it was destroyed, because Yan Shenggong gave me something, but it preserved Li Yang's vitality, which didn't let Xie Guanying succeed. But the one surnamed Xie didn't It's a good feeling, I smashed the broken bowl, and Deng Tai'er stared at me again. It is estimated that Xie Guanying had to run to the south of Guangling River in one breath with that sword strike. Generally speaking, Li Yang's energy is still there, but there is Variable. If there is no accident, the leader of the Qi practitioners in the North has already told the young emperor that the strangest thing about me is also here. Anticipating that... the bull rider would come to Tai'an City, he planned to take advantage of the chance that the first Patriarch of Longhu Mountain thought he could return to the Heavenly Gate, and take advantage of the opportunity to break through the Heavenly Gate and kill more immortals, so he didn't chase after Xie Guanying. If you know this is the case, why should you catch up for hundreds of miles?"
Aunt Hong sighed: "The heart is really big.
