People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 246 Be Upright and Cherish Feathers

The weather in Hangzhou is changeable. In the evening, there was already a drizzle between the sky and the earth.

The carriage walked on the bluestone slabs of the street, making a crisp sound.

Li Xuan looked out through the curtain of the car, and in the whole of Hangzhou, countless pavilions stood in the hazy misty rain, which was particularly poetic and picturesque.

[Zong Ling, a true immortal Taoist girl, congenital and true species of great perfection]

[Xin Jian, the head of the South Hall of Wusheng Dao Mountain, the congenital true seed state is perfect]

These two entries have been followed since the morning.

People from the Tianyin Sect did not show up, but other sects of the Demon Sect dangled in front of Li Xuan's eyes.

In this way, it would be difficult for Li Xuan to do anything. This is Hangzhou, who knows how many people are secretly watching his every move.

Observe him, record him, study all his every move.

The killer of the inanimate way, the Taoist girl of the true immortal way, lurking in secret, plotting evil,

It's a pity that this is not Wuzhou, otherwise Li Xuan would have mobilized a large team to encircle and suppress them.

This is Hangzhou, if you want to kill them, you have to choose a place with few people, and then send them to hell.

……

Withdrawing his gaze, Li Xuan looked down at the secret file in his hand.

Qiu Zhenmu's Qianniu guards had only been out for half a day, and they had already found out many deeds about that Mr. Qi.

From Hangzhou, this Mr. Qi turned out to be a native of Hangzhou.

His so-called aunt was the concubine of Yuan Jiazuo, governor of Hangzhou.

Yuan Jiazuo is a native of Youzhou, born in Hebei.

During the Zhenguan period, he was a Jinshi, and was transferred to Hangzhou three years ago to serve as the governor of Hangzhou.

Yuan Jiazuo was an upright person, so he left his wife to serve his mother in his hometown in Youzhou, and he brought his book boy and master to Hangzhou to work.

But maybe it was because of his loneliness, or maybe it was the "good intentions" of the Hangzhou family. Yuan Jiazuo married this woman from the Qi family as his concubine, and incidentally accepted the "filial piety" of many Hangzhou families.

Perhaps because of this, the governor Yuan's administration in Hangzhou began to go smoothly.

Yuan Jiazuo is something that Li Xuan has met over the years, and there are very few governors who can truly love the people like a son.

When he took office, he dredged the river, taught farming and mulberry, tried prisons in public, attracted foreign businessmen, and suppressed wealthy families.

Great achievements.

How could such a governor produce such a useless guy as Mr. Qi.

Closing the secret file in his hand, Li Xuan pondered in his heart, whether this was done on purpose, or because of some special favor.

Thinking about what Young Master Qi and Hu Yu have done today, one can be sure that the contradictions between these aristocratic families in Hangzhou and this Governor Yuan, after many years of honeymoon period, have once again magnified.

The appearance of Li Xuan now has become the trump card to break this deadlock.

……

"My lord, the Governor's Mansion is here!" Qiu Zhenmu's voice sounded in front of the car.

Li Xuan tidied up a little, then opened the car curtain and walked down.

An oil-paper umbrella was propped above the head, and under the gloomy weather, the governor's mansion in Hangzhou had already hung up lanterns.

Shi Huyu, the head of the governor's office in Hangzhou, was waiting at the door. When he saw Li Xuan appearing, he immediately stepped forward to meet him.

"I've seen you, my lord, please!" Hu Yu clasped his hands, held an umbrella in his hand, and led the way ahead.

The Governor's Mansion in Hangzhou occupies a vast area. Once you enter the courtyard, you will see a huge empty courtyard. When Li Xuan stepped in, the official buildings on both sides were already empty.

"My lord heard that Yuan Changshi was in power in Hangzhou, the officials were clear and bright, the officials in Hangzhou seldom came in late and left early, and they usually didn't need to pay extra to do things. Is there such a thing?" Li Xuan turned her head and said suddenly.

Hu Yu nodded and said: "This is true. Governor Yuan is sympathetic to us. Sometimes he can go home as long as he finishes his official duties. However, there must be no mistakes in this official duties. Otherwise, he will be reprimanded immediately. Dismissed from office, so everyone dare not neglect in the slightest."

"Inspector Yuan is really a sage!" Li Xuan exclaimed, Yuan Jiazuo is also one of the few people in the world who can see through the word efficiency in this day and age.

Li Xuan did not expect that she would be able to meet this No. [-] person in Hangzhou.

In the central hall of the backyard, the lights are bright, but only bright, not deliberately so brightly lit.

Wearing a black linen robe, a thin figure, short straight beard, wrinkled face, and sunken eyes, an old man in his early [-]s stood at the entrance of the central hall, watching the wind and rain outside, and was also waiting for Li Xuan.

From afar, seeing Li Xuan approaching, Yuan Jiazuo immediately became awed.

When Li Xuan came to the door, he bowed his hands to Yuan Jiazuo first: "My boy Li Xuan, I have met Governor Yuan."

"I have seen the King of Nanchang County." Yuan Jiazuo bowed his hands politely in return, and then stretched out his hand and said, "Please, my lord!"

"Yuan Weng please!" Li Xuan followed Yuan Jiazuo into the middle hall.

In the middle hall, there is only an old round table. On the table are a plate of fish, a plate of edamame, a plate of bamboo shoots, and a jug of old wine.

Quite frugal, even a bit excessive.

"I've heard that Governor Yuan is diligent and thrifty, and I am ashamed to see Xuan today." Li Xuan bowed his hands to Yuan Jiazuo sincerely.

Although Qiu Zhenmu's subordinates started the investigation with Young Master Qi, they also investigated the reputation of Yuan Jiazuo, governor of Hangzhou, by the way.

He is not only upright and caring for the people, but also diligent and honest.

The people of Hangzhou are now close to putting Qingtian's name on his forehead.

Looking at Yuan Jiazuo's slightly worn black robe, Li Xuan felt in his heart, if this person is not a treacherous and evil traitor, then he is a rare honest official in the world.

"My lord is polite, please sit down." Yuan Jiazuo waited for Li Xuan to sit down first, then sat down beside him, and then said softly: "A few days ago, I heard about the poem written by the lord when he was in Yangzhou." , The eagle hits the sky, no one knows, the young hero is admirable."

Yuan Jiazuo spoke very slowly, as if carefully considering every word, Li Xuan couldn't help but concentrate. Dealing with such a character is not easy!

"To be honest with Yuan Weng, although it was done by the boy at that time, in fact, in the past few days, he had to think it over and over again, and finally it came into shape." At this point, Li Xuan sighed with emotion, and said: "From the capital of God , to Yangzhou, and then to Hangzhou, the boy felt that the wind and rain were rushing, and if he didn't pay attention, he was in danger of being overturned..."

"I understand that the prince is worried that the Tianyin sect will endanger the stability of the entire Jiangnan. This officer understands this." Yuan Jiazuo nodded, but then chuckled, and said: "Such people are just treacherous villains. Forget it, everything you do is in the dark, it’s hard to see the sun, everything you do depends on luck, but if there is any disharmony, the other generation will immediately suffer a crushing defeat."

"Yuan Weng Thoroughly." Li Xuan sighed, the current Tianyin Sect members, aren't they just mice hiding in the dark gutter?
They didn't dare to see the sun at all, but they had to do it forcefully, so they didn't see the slightest chance. Maybe it's not uncommon for them to kill each other in the end.

The key is that Yuan Jiazuo's Qingming rule in Hangzhou almost destroyed the foundation of Tianyin Sect's uprising.

Even if they wanted to force it, it would be difficult for them to reach the level of Muzhou and Wuzhou.

"However, we need to pay attention. Yuan Weng is the pillar of Hangzhou. If the Tianyin rebels attack Yuan Weng, the situation will be overthrown immediately." Li Xuan sat there and reminded earnestly.

"Don't worry, my lord. I won't come out of the governor's compound during this period of time. The other generation will not directly enter the governor's compound. If there is such a day, I'm afraid it's the governor's mansion, let alone the governor's mansion." Even the entire city of Hangzhou will fall into the hands of his generation, and at that time, it doesn't matter whether they enter the governor's mansion or not."

Yuan Jiazuo's words were calm, and the situation in Hangzhou was now in crisis, and he also admitted it directly.

"Yuan Weng's arrogance, Xiao Wang admires." As he spoke, Li Xuan took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over, and said at the same time: "This is a letter written by the prince in the palace when the younger generation left the capital of God. Judging by Yuan Weng's arrogance, the boy did a little poorly."

"No problem." Yuan Jiazuo waved his hands with a smile, and said, "My lord has done nothing wrong. I haven't received a letter from an old friend for many years. Wang Dezhen can go one step further from Weiweisiqing and be promoted to the supervisor of the palace. The old man is also quite happy." Feeling."

Yuan Jiazuo was in the same year as Wang Dezhen, the former Minister of Weisi, one was the governor of Shangzhou, and the other was the supervisor of the palace, so there was not much difference.

"The matter of Hangzhou, with Yuan Weng around, I don't need to fantasize about it, but today I met my nephew, Mr. Qi, and I always feel that there are some people around him who are secretly instigating, and today's incident is quite strange." Li Xuan Changing his tone, he said what happened today lightly.

Hu Yu's group wanted to borrow Li Xuan's knife, but it was not as easy as imagined.

Hearing what Li Xuan said, Yuan Jiazuo also felt a little surprised. He immediately nodded secretly and said, "Because he also told this officer before and after this matter, he said that he listened to a friend's words, so he went to the pier. Only those reckless actions, I hope the prince will forgive me here."

"Xiao Wang has nothing here, but..." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "I also ask Yuan Weng to forgive the brat for taking the liberty, so that the people around Mr. Qi should check carefully. If it is at other times, maybe There is no need to be so careful, but now, the Tianyin rebels are coming, and they will not let go of any opportunity they can seize, especially the Secretary of Jiaofang..."

After speaking, Li Xuan lowered her head and looked at the wine glass in front of her.

The wine is turbulent, asking people's hearts.

Yuan Jiazuo nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said in agreement: "My lord is very worried. After I am an official, I will immediately order people to close all the teaching workshops in the city, and order my officials to strictly teach the children at home. At least, within this month During the time, no one is allowed to do anything wrong, and once it is found out, it will be dealt with strictly."

Li Xuan was slightly surprised that Yuan Jiazuo could completely understand the hidden meaning in his words, so he said directly: "Not only is the Jiaofang Secretary, but there are also many places where people gather and disperse in the city, please Yuan Weng send someone to strictly examine , especially where there are a large number of weapons and equipment gathered, you need to be more careful."

"I never thought that the prince would think of this place." Yuan Jiazuo looked at Li Xuan with a face full of surprise, and then said: "The prince doesn't know anything about this matter. The Yuezhou Governor's Mansion has already sent an official document about this matter, and this official has long been in the office." It was strictly censored half a month ago."

Tianyin Sect has always had a huge influence in the land of romance.

Officials, as well as their children, will be recruited if they are not careful.

Therefore, to combat the Tianyin Sect, we must start from many aspects at the same time.

"Besides, Mr. Qi will inevitably offend some villains when he acts in Hangzhou. I hope Yuan Weng will be more vigilant." After Li Xuan finished speaking, her breathing almost stopped.

The deepest temptation is always in the most inadvertent.

"It's okay, he still has some good players by his side, don't worry about small things." Yuan Jiazuo waved his hand easily, but Li Xuan on the opposite side seemed to have fallen into a cold pool, but he quickly reacted.

"Yuan Weng is wise, with Yuan Weng's ability, there will be no omissions. In this way, Mr. Qi is safe, and Hangzhou is safe. But I have some requests, and I hope Yuan Weng can agree." Li Xuan sincerely bowed his hands to Yuan Jiazuo .

"My lord, please speak." Yuan Jiazuo became serious, and he would not agree to Li Xuan's request casually.

Hangzhou is also in a time of wind and rain, and if there is a slight loophole, it is very likely that the embankment of a thousand miles will be destroyed by an ant's nest.

"Xiao Wang intends to recruit a group of Wuzhou sailors in Hangzhou, and ask the Captain of the Hangzhou Navy to send people to train. In addition, he needs to purchase a batch of ordnance... There are not many soldiers in Wuzhou, so Xiao Wang needs to prepare in advance." Li Xuan somewhat Embarrassed arched hands.

"It doesn't matter. As far as the navy is concerned, the prince and Captain Ji can discuss it. Wuzhou sailors can also recruit themselves. After all, if something happens in Wuzhou, it may not be safe in Hangzhou." After a short pause, Yuan Jiazuo said: "As for I don’t know how many weapons the prince will recruit, if there are not many, the governor’s office in Hangzhou will give them all to the prince.”

"Yuan Weng, you are welcome!" Li Xuan cupped his hands, and then said: "Xiao Wang is not lying, Xiao Wang actually only plans to recruit 50 people, and the fewer the better... The soldiers are not many, but fine, to deal with the Tianyin Sect. Rebels, elite soldiers are more able to display their combat power."

"Indeed, there are not many soldiers but good ones. The prince can be said to have the three tastes now. It seems that this time, with the prince here, I don't have to worry about the rebels coming from Dongyang to kill the generals." Yuan Jiazuo's face The smile began to restrain, but the eyes really relaxed a lot.

Li Xuan sat on the side and smiled faintly, all the governors in Jiangnan are not easy to mess with.

Wen Fuzhi, Director Wen, are you really ready?
