Prince Gong was appointed as an imperial envoy by the new emperor. After receiving the order, he immediately took his entourage to Liaodong County to deal with the issue of Tuoba Lian.
In order to quickly arrive at Liaodong County, Prince Gong rode a horse and a carriage along the way, and almost traveled more than 600 miles a day, which was very hard. Prince Gong felt that his old bones were broken.
Halfway through, Prince Gong also heard that Lu Desheng was strongly advocating the negotiations with the Xianbei royal court in the name of Houcheng County Magistrate. Prince Gong was quite surprised at that time. He only thought that Lu Desheng was powerful. As soon as he left Chang’an, he was valued by the county magistrate and the governor, and took the lead alone?
It seems that Lu Desheng is quite suitable for being an outsider. He has been doing well in such a short time.
However, when they rushed into Liaoxi County, moved into the governor’s office, they learned through the chief executive of the governor’s office that Lu Desheng presided over the negotiation without the consent of the governor!
Prince Gong staggered and couldn’t believe what he heard. Lu Desheng actually deceived his superiors and subordinates and abused his power?
But when he thought about it, he thought it was something that Lu Desheng could do.
Wait, Prince Gong thought that the negotiation with the Xianbei royal court was led by Lu Desheng, and couldn’t help but suspect that Lu Desheng would not even bypass Zheng Xun, the governor of Shangfeng County, right?
Prince Gong suddenly felt his scalp numb. He looked in the direction of Liaodong County and stomped his feet. Lu Desheng was really capable of causing trouble. He caused a big trouble just after leaving Chang’an!
At this time, the Grand Housekeeper of the Governor’s Mansion was about to settle them, and Prince Gong said directly, “I can’t stay anymore, we have to continue rushing!”
The entourage reminded him, “Prince, today is March 22, and the negotiations have begun.” It’s too late to rush over now.
The chief steward of the governor’s office also hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Lord, our governor rushed over as soon as he received the news, and he must have arrived in Houcheng at this time.”
Prince Gong refused to listen, “Let’s hurry up!”
The governor is the governor, he is him!
Besides, the negotiations will not come to an end one day, and you have to argue for a long time. They must have time to rush over now.
The entourage wanted to persuade them again. They spent almost eight hours a day now. If they were young, they would be fine, and Prince Gong would not be able to stand the old bones.
“Prince, now you are tired, why not take a break for two hours? We will get up early tomorrow to travel.”
Prince Gong glanced at the entourage and horses, and at the same time felt a sense of fatigue coming from his body, so he had to nod.
The governor they mentioned would be blocked on a certain official road in Wangping County.
“Sir, it’s getting dark, can you continue digging?” JiangChangyun pushed his companions and asked for instructions.
They cleared this section of the road for a day, and only two-thirds were cleared. Even if they started working overnight, they probably had to work for one night.
People who block the road are really unethical. The road blocked is really good. They don’t have to go to the village in front or the shop behind. It is very difficult for them to organize personnel to clean the roads, which has caused great trouble to their dredging work.
Although Jiang Changyun asked for instructions, he knew very well that all the villagers who worked wanted to go home. The villagers’ homes are three or four miles away from here, and they want to go home when it gets dark.
Shi Tao waved his hand, “No, let them go back and come back tomorrow.”
Now he is no longer in a hurry, and the negotiations have begun, and it is useless for him to be anxious. Anyway, for him now, there is no difference one day or one day later. When the road is opened, just go directly to Lu Desheng for guilt.
Lu Desheng is sure that he is abusing power and exceeding power! No matter what the outcome of this negotiation, Lu Desheng would not have any good results.
When Jiang Changyun went to ask for instructions, the villagers gradually stopped their work.
The other villagers retreated from the official road and found a place to sit or lean on it. Only two villagers were lazy and leaned on the stones blocking the road.
The two were chatting when the person who was talking was suddenly stopped by another person, “Don’t talk. Have you heard any sound?”
The two of them listened intently.
“Help! Help”
