Chapter 576: Guanyin Sect joins the sect to enter Liang, and Xu Fengnian visits Liuzhou (6)
That night, under the leadership of Yang Guangdou, Xu Fengnian visited all the yamen in the residence of the governor of Liuzhou. The hard-working scenes of staying up late at night, the young faces who are far from old and sophisticated, and a large number of capable mailmen enter and exit this heavily guarded mansion, making people feel that this place is extremely vibrant. Most of the time, Xu Fengnian and Yang would not disturb the officials in the yamen to handle political affairs. They walked around casually, and were more commenting on the dispatch of troops in Beimang. Dong Zhuo, the new South Court king, has nominally taken over the power. Although Empress Murong supports this fat man, she may not be able to integrate the troops of the Southern Dynasty in a short period of time. The old people in the Spring and Autumn Period brought the Southern Dynasty a complete Central Plains etiquette culture, which added wings to the tiger, but also brought many bad habits that the Northern Mang never had, and the luxury style was still better than that of Northern Liang. Although Beiliang heard that it was going to fight, the gentry and tycoons in Lingzhou went to three or four, and the high-ranking officials and nobles who ran to the north of the Northern Mang Dynasty had no less seeking profit and avoiding harm. Moreover, the pattern of confrontation between the North and the South was deeply rooted and always sharp. The rich people of the Southern Dynasty were so troubled that they depended on the powerful and powerful people in the north, which invisibly encouraged the arrogance of Beiting and weakened the already weak power of the Southern Dynasty. The fat man Dong Zhuo probably had to cut off several kilograms of meat.
Xu Fengnian and Yang Guangdou talked about whatever they thought, and before they knew it, it was dawn. Yang Guangdou, a third-rank frontier official, had to hold a meeting of the chief every morning and evening. Today, Xu Fengnian, dressed in casual clothes, participated in the audition. He did not sit in the main seat. The position of Liuzhou was still empty, and Xu Fengnian sat in this position. The other states have all the important officials, and not everyone can sit on these seats. You can no longer be young people with childishness. They are all officials who have received the top-level assessment in the three old states of Youliangling. Most of them are in their forties and fifties. Although they are destined to be inferior to young people, they are familiar with their own government affairs. When driving an old horse, they can first ensure that the new Liuzhou that was created will not have major mistakes. No one has ever seen the young vassal kings before. It is no wonder that they are ignorant. After all, they are not of high rank before being promoted, and they are all civil officials. In the past, they have no chance to enter the Qingliangshan Palace to pay homage to General Xu Xiao and Prince Xu Fengnian. In this world where news is blocked and is taboo by the venerable, most of the people in Beiliang may not know what the name of King Xinliang is. Beiliang is truly known to all women and children and can name it. For the past decade, there is no need to say much about Xu Xiao. After that, Chen Zhibao and Chu Lushan were comparable to each other. Yuan Zuozong’s reputation was side by side with veterans such as Yan Wenluan and Zhong Hongwu. In addition, it was Xu Weixiong, who was the most talented in Beiliang, and Wang Chudong, the wife of the Xu family who was newly entering Liang. Xu Fengnian looked at the officials in front of him who had swollen bags but had to sit upright. When he was old, he naturally had no energy and had heavy business in Liuzhou. He also served as an official under the nose of an old fox like Yang Guangdou. In addition, the entire Beiliang officialdom was staring at this side. These old guys really got up earlier than a chicken and went to bed later than a dog. Xu Fengnian has heard of everyThe report with a trembling voice did not make any comments on their government affairs, but joked: “Most of you have been tired all night, don’t treat your butt badly. Sit down with peace of mind, do whatever you feel comfortable, and be boldly leaning against the back of the chair. Our Beiliang Buxing Liyang officialdom style, if you don’t face Shangguan, you have to put half of your butt outside the chair.”
Yang Guangdou took the lead in kicking his boots, sat cross-legged on the chair, and laughed: “I was pulled by the prince for a whole night, and his two old legs were sore.”
Anyway, the governor was the first to make a fuss, and the other officials were relieved. Although he didn’t dare to be as indulgent as Yang Guangdou, he dared to put his butt on the chair. Several of them leaned against the chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Fengnian smiled and continued, “You have never seen the situation where the old generals Liu Yuanji and Wei Tieshan went to Qingliang Mountain to pay New Year’s greetings. Especially when they were drinking, they were no different from the rogues in the market. I also think it’s nothing wrong with this. In the future, I will often come to Qingcang City to catch the autumn wind, so everyone should not be restrained. By the way, Liu Dianxue, I want to defend you here. More than a thousand monks entering Liuzhou need to be placed by your hands. This matter is of great responsibility, but everyone in the temporary ritual room is like a stepmother. Whoever squeezes you out to the ground near the toilet and says it, I will scold him a few words.”
Liu Zhen, an employee of Liuzhou Dianxue, was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the two colleagues opposite him subconsciously, but did not dare to speak. In Liuzhou, his sect is almost equivalent to a false title and has no real power. If a young man unfortunately follows him, it will be a bad luck for eight lifetimes. He is completely unable to compare with those of the powerful people who hold power with the power of Zhizhong and Gongcai. Of course, he can’t compete for territory. Until now, he has not been able to find the sect that should have partnered with him to deal with the government of a state. There was no way, who was willing to deal with refugees with the book of sages and was caught by Liu Zhen and the two officials who were glancing at him were immediately restless. The young vassal king who seemed to be kind to everyone was the lord of Beiliang who was punished by Zhong Hongwu. Even Yan Wenluan and other border bosses were tamed. The reform of the Beiliang army went smoothly from beginning to end. Xu Beizhi jumped to the position of the governor of Lingzhou at level 7 or 8, and seized the seat that the master Li Gongde refused to move. He even directly asked the first and second chief, two deputy, three generals of Lingzhou to protect him. Who dared to say “no”? If he was targeted by such a cunning prince, it would be a big question to see whether he could walk out of Liuzhou alive.
Xu Fengnian smiled and said, “Wang Bingcao and Huang Duguan, the two adults sweat a lot. Before the sun came out, they felt hot. If they were unwell and were not adapted to the local conditions in Liuzhou, I took advantage of the fact that I was in the governor’s residence and wanted to take a leave, and I didn’t need to nod my head. I would be sure. I heard that you two are in-laws and have a companion back to Lingzhou, so I am not afraid of loneliness.”
The military officer was engaged in Wang Xiuqing and the governor were engaged in Huang Yucheng immediately sweated.It was raining, and after leaving the chair, he knelt heavily on the ground. Yang Guangdou, who was sitting cross-legged, looked at the scene with a smile. He neither helped the two officials to plead with the prince in time, nor did he take advantage of the situation to say bad things about them. Xu Fengnian calmed down his smile, put one elbow on the edge of the chair, and said calmly: “One position is in charge of the order for the troops stationed in Liuzhou, and the other is responsible for supervising all officials in Liuzhou. You two are all first-class important positions in Liuzhou. You two are not counting as calligraphy and painting treasures. The silver given to Li Gongde was 68,000 taels, so I asked for a letter of recommendation. However, I looked through your resume and checked your past political achievements. It was remarkable, so I agreed. Why, I felt so sorry for the money. I was so anxious to scrape the land in Liuzhou. The two adults didn’t know that it was because this official career was not perfect enough. Wang Xiuqing, the commander of Fufeng County, Yu Wanqing, the commander of Wenhui County, you recommended, and Wu Xiaoxian and Hong Poshu, who were promoted by Huang Yucheng, won a total of 6,000 taels of silver. Did I say something wrong?”
Xu Fengnian tapped the edge of the chair with his fingers lightly. The chair is made of high-quality pineapple wood, which is a valuable item left by the old owner of Qingcang City, making people jealous of it. Xu Fengnian didn’t speak. Wang Xiuqing, who was tall and not as good as a civil servant, but rather like a military man, hesitated. Just as he was about to speak, his in-law Huang Yucheng secretly pulled off his sleeve. In the end, neither of the two Liuzhou upstarts who were neglecting their duties did not defend themselves. Xu Fengnian saw a burly general walking into the yard and standing outside the door with his knife. It was Wei Shiwei, the captain of Qingcang Army Town, Liuzhou, who came from the Longxiang Army together with the captain of Linyao Army Town. Xu Fengnian stood up and said, “I have told Governor Yang that all government affairs in Liuzhou are left to him. If you have any words, tell the Governor.”
Xu Fengnian walked out of the house and followed Wei Shiwei and a team of strong sergeants out of the city. He was going to a place forty miles outside the city to meet Chen Liangxi.
It was heard that the needles fell in the house for a long time. Yang Guangdou coughed, put down his feet, stepped on the official boots that had just been sent from the Lingzhou Jinlu Weaving Bureau, and said, “Mr. Wang and Lord Huang, get up. The law is nothing more than human favors. Liuzhou is in a mess. I really can’t find any available talents that will not delay the great cause of Beiliang for the time being. Even if you make meritorious contributions, if you make achievements in the future, I will help you to talk to the prince. But during the time when the prince is in Qingcang, you should not show up.”
Wang Xiuqing stood up with a heavy face. Huang Yucheng stood up shakingly and wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if he had lost his parents. Even though the governor gave them room to maneuver, he had a bad impression in the prince’s mind. He really thought that Huang Yucheng, who could make up for his merits, was not so naive. But after all, he still had to thank Yang Guangdou for his comfort. When he bowed deeply and bowed his head, he saw from the corner of his eyes that his in-law Wang Xiuqing was still straightening his back stupidly, and it was not easy to add fuel to the fire, so he had to pretend that he didn’t see it. Yang Guangdou smiled and looked at the dissatisfied military officer who was not angry, and was not angry. He put on his boots and stepped on the ground, and smiled and said, “Mr. Wang, do you think this is it.”This official is singing to the prince with a blushing face”
