Chapter 425 Xu Fengnian rectified Lingzhou, and the grassland girl lived in Beiliang.
Xu Fengnian smiled and nodded, pointed to Xu Yanbing who quietly turned to the pavilion outside the pavilion, and introduced: “Xu Yanbing, the freshly released Lingzhou deputy general, Wang Zhi, you can deal with him more in the future. General Xu is one of our top martial arts masters in Beiliang. It is much more useful than swaying in front of me, the general who has no real power.”
Wang Zhi’s eyes suddenly lit up. The four words “one of the best” are much more important than “Lingzhou deputy general”. As the third master in the Liyang army, only after Gu Jiantang and Chen Zhibao, if Xu Yanbing was one of the best martial artists, he was probably a powerful general on the same line as Yuan Baixiong, who was unparalleled in cavalry warfare. How dare Wang Zhi underestimate him? He immediately clasped his fists at the deputy general. Xu Yanbing just nodded slightly and returned the favor.
Xu Fengnian looked at Xu Beizhi and asked, “Orange, I’m having a good time with Master Zhong. I heard that his beautiful concubines admire you very much. They take turns to recommend your pillows and ate with you, and they almost became jealous with Lingzhou Kui. At this moment, there is a Beimang family named Xu Beizhi. They sing and sing every night, and are more free than gods.”
Xu Beizhi smiled lightly and said, “It’s better to be better than the lower ones, but far less than the higher ones. With His Highness in front of his pearls and jade, this kind of romantic affairs is a feat.”
Wang Zhi was secretly shocked. It was rumored that Xu Beizhi, who was very uncharacteristic to be an official, had a close relationship with His Highness, and it seemed that what he said was true. If it were someone else, I would have been so scared that I was sweating profusely. Wang Zhi didn’t dare to treat this prince of Beiliang who dared to intercept and kill the prince of the Western Regions as a playboy. An ordinary prince was too late to please Zhong Hongwu, the meritorious veterans who had lived in military service with his father.
Xu Fengnian and Xu Beizhi sat in the pavilion, and Wang Zhi naturally followed Xu Yanbing to guard the pavilion. Xu Fengnian glanced at Wang Zhi’s burly back, withdrew his gaze, and smiled and said, “This time, hundreds of people, including the Lu family in Qingzhou and Shangyin Academy, are hungry. Lingzhou’s officialdom is bloated and the most fat. The strategy makes the adults become peacemakers in Beiliang, claiming that they are second, no one dares to be the first, and they will definitely not be the evil one. Chen Liangxi is busy rectifying the salt and iron. Otherwise, you will take the opportunity to streamline the position of military generals and eliminate a large number of idle and idle generals. Let’s learn from Beimang, so that the lieutenant and the lieutenant will be more worthy of their reputation in the future.”
Xu Beizhi remained silent and had a great attitude.
Wang Zhi, who was pricking up his ears, was a little worried. Accompanying the king was like a tiger. The emperor was far away from the north. Otherwise, the general would not be called the “two emperors” by the court in private. His prince was actually no different from the crown prince of a country. Although Wang Zhi was careless in front of Xu Fengnian, he was also very rough and meticulous, and carefully grasped the standards. Those seemingly rough and stupid generals in Romance novels are not the most meticulous person in official history. If you want to be by the monarch, you will not kill the blessings and the descendants will be in a long way. The depth of your knowledge is almost a bottomless pit. Previously, Wang Zhi and Xu Beizhi drank wine. At that time, His Royal Highness did not kneel down in Tai’an City, Xu BeizhiHe was drunk and happy, and was full of knowledge and showed the tip of the iceberg. When talking about planning for rice and millet, just by dividing the categories of officials and ministers, Xu Beizhi gave 19 kinds of types, including lonely ministers, governing ministers, capable ministers, toad officials, cat officials, and corpses. It was much more tedious than the ninth-rank martial artist’s realm, which made Wang Zhi both dumbfounded and benefited a lot. He thought that this young master Xu had really become an immortal in the public school, which made Wang Zhi, who had a very high vision, admired him.
Xu Fengnian continued to ask: “There is a custom of rewarding marten hats in the officialdom of Beiliang. From the end of winter to the beginning of spring, hundreds of new marten hats in Lingzhou were sent out from your hands of Xu Beizhi. How about it?”
Xu Beizhi asked back, “You general in Lingzhou, don’t care, the master of the military commander, you can only ask one word.”
Xu Fengnian nodded and said: “Otherwise, why am I a general in this general, I am determined to help you block and criticize me and promise you that no matter what you say or what you are, everything will stop when you come to me. You don’t have to see or listen.”
Xu Beizhi said calmly: “The chief official and governor of Lingzhou is still the same as the master of the military commander, Lord Li, who is the master of this hat, can you give me this hat first”
Wang Zhi was amazed in his heart. The eldest son of Xu Beizhi was really fierce. He wanted to be the official hat of a fourth-rank official at the moment of opening his mouth, and he had to be so righteous. If he spread it, he would not make those Li Yang officials who were stuck on this threshold for the rest of his life angry.
Huyan Guanyin, who learned Li Yang’s words in this mansion, listened to it without missing a word and knew the meaning of this conversation. She opened her mouth slightly and looked at the gray-haired man with a blurry and dazed look.
Xu Fengnian stood up and smiled and said, “I’ll take it to you.”
Xu Fengnian came to the mansion of the Guanjun in Beiliang, which was only lower than that of Qingliang Mountain. He was familiar with the Li Mansion and did not have to lead the way. He went to the backyard where Xu Xiao and Li Gongde took a break.
There are locust trees in the courtyard. The officialdom of Beiliang knows that Li Gongde has liked planting locust trees in recent years, and many large locust trees in the country have been moved to the mansion. Planting locust trees in front of the house is rich and noble, and it means auspicious signs of the year. Li Gongde himself is not very talented. Nowadays, the science and technology exams are mostly in the autumn season of Huai, and the month is also called “Huaihuang”. It can be seen that Lord Li is still worried about his failures many times back then.
Xu Fengnian walked on a deep path between hollyhocks and saw a long sandalwood couch on the underside of the tree, and Xu Xiao was drinking green ant wine alone. Li Gongde knelt in front of the King of Northern Liang, and now he became a military commander, and he stood aside and held a wine pot to help pour wine. The jurisdiction of other vassal kings was under the jurisdiction of the ruler. As a first-class and a great official with the title of the Six Ministers of the Ministry of Justice, he could not find a humble person like Li Gongde. Not to mention Sun Xiji, the commander of the Western Chu Taoist lord, Zhao Yi, the commander of Guangling, was kept in a closed door several times. Just like Dai Yuzhen, the commander of the two Huai Taoist lords, the imperial oppression made King Zhao Ying of Huainan breathless, which shows how powerful the commander’s authority is.
When Xu Xiao saw Xu Fengnian appear,He was about to give up the sandalwood couch, but Xu Fengnian ignored it and asked Yuan Zuozong to ask for two chairs from the mansion manager and sit down with Li Gongde. The afternoon sun shines on your body, warm, and a few glasses of green ant wine on the lower abdomen, dispelling a lot of chills.
Li Gongde has never spent any effort on the annotation of scriptures in his life, and has spent all his efforts on trying to figure out people’s hearts. When he saw His Royal Highness return, he knew something was wrong. However, he found that this young man who always said “uncle” was not stingy when he met. He had to sit and drink with him, talk about some interesting stories in Lingzhou, make jokes, and flatter him a few words, all of which were about how his Royal Highness’s trip to the capital was so popular. Xu Xiao believed it or not, but it was always comfortable to hear it, with a little more gentle smile.
