first minister

Chapter 282
Longshou Prefecture, the city of the state.

Xiao Fengshan, the governor of Longshou Prefecture, walked into the mansion of the governor with big strides.

His gait is different from that of ordinary civil servants and state shepherds. He strides in big strides, matching his tall and straight figure, which has the momentum of walking like a dragon or a tiger.

The furnishing of the mansion is also different from the ordinary civil servants who pay attention to elegance and seclusion. From the outside to the inside, the entire prefectural pastoral mansion reveals a kind of directness and toughness of the military.

Because this Xiaozhou Mu was one of the few bureaucrats in the Great Xia who was transferred from the army to the government, and he was able to not be rejected by the civil official group, and successfully went to the post of the chief official of Fengjiang.

Majestic and heroic, Yunwen Yunwu.

This is the evaluation of Emperor Chongning to him in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

But at that time, Emperor Chongning was young, and he was still deeply in love with Xiao Fengshan's sister and husband. elephant.

But now, the empress has passed away, the prince is suspicious, the emperor's heart is changing, treacherous officials are in power, and the state affairs are declining. Everything is no longer what it used to be.

But it doesn't matter, he is not who he was back then.

Xiao Fengshan walked all the way into the mansion, and the housekeeper greeted him, "Master, they are here."

Xiao Fengshan frowned slightly, and walked all the way to a side room next to the study with a bodyguard.

In the room, there are two people sitting.

Hearing the movement, he got up immediately, and the leader was Mr. Yuan, Qin Sichao's confidant who escaped from Zhongjing City. He smiled and saluted Xiao Fengshan, "I've seen Xiao Zhoumu."

Xiao Fengshan didn't have any intention of laughing with him, not only didn't return the salute, but also directly said coldly: "If I were you, I'd better get out of there with my tail between my legs before it's too late!"

Mr. Yuan was not afraid, "Master Xiao, I am here to help you out of your problems."

Swish!
Xiao Fengshan directly pulled out the saber from the waist of the guard behind him, and put it on Mr. Yuan's neck.

Mr. Yuan's guards were about to step forward, but were stopped by Mr. Yuan.

Xiao Fengshan's eyes were cold, "You incited the Cao Gang to cause chaos everywhere under my rule. I didn't send troops to encircle and suppress you. This is an extrajudicial favor. How dare you talk about it here!"

Mr. Yuan looked at Xiao Fengshan calmly, "Your Majesty Xiao, you are a sensible person. Let's open the window and speak out. Although the court trial led to the downfall of the Prime Minister's House, His Majesty's desire to abolish the Crown Prince has been clearly revealed."

"Once the crown prince falls, His Majesty will definitely take the position of Your Majesty. If His Majesty is always a benevolent king, you may be able to give Your Majesty a rich and idle old age, but does Your Majesty really not know about our Majesty's methods?"

"The Prime Minister has fallen, and my son is gone, but the power we have accumulated over the years has not disappeared in an instant. If you are willing, my lord, we can congratulate you!"

"The prince is weak, and we are also weak now, but if we join hands, His Royal Highness does not necessarily have to wait for death!"

"Bastard!"

Xiao Fengshan scolded angrily: "Since I joined the army when I was young, no matter whether it's a dangerous war or a dangerous officialdom, my loyalty to the emperor and patriotism have never changed! How dare you say such treasonous words!"

Mr. Yuan's heart is settled, because the knife on his neck is very stable, and there is no tendency to wipe his neck.

He calmly said: "My young master has already anticipated these things before. He said that if Mr. Xiao feels unsafe, there is a more secure way."

Then he lowered his voice and said a few words slowly.

Xiao Fengshan's knife moved away from his shoulder.

With the sharpness tempered on the battlefield and the depth of officialdom's ups and downs in his eyes, he looked straight at Mr. Yuan. His oppressive figure made anyone who was not determined to retreat subconsciously, and then, from his mouth He spat out a sentence, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you two and use your methods?"

Mr. Yuan smiled and said: "Although I cooperate sincerely, but the situation is not clear, I still understand the truth of saying half hide and half."

Xiao Fengshan walked to the window with his hands behind his back, "I have reported this matter to the imperial court, and the central government will definitely take action. As the matter involves Longshou Prefecture, His Majesty may even send imperial envoys to come."

Mr. Yuan smiled and said: "Lord Xiao and the Xiao family members have been running Longshou Prefecture for many years, which is equivalent to sitting at home. If even a small imperial envoy can't handle it, this big person doesn't have to think about it. It's better to get caught sooner."

Xiao Fengshan turned to look at him, "Let's go."

Mr. Yuan didn't ask any final opinion or anything like that, he saluted, put on his hat and left the mansion under the guidance of the Xiao family's confidants.

And Xiao Fengshan stood in that room, and took out from his bosom a secret letter that he had just received a few days ago.

A distress letter written by the prince himself.

Not to mention anything else, just the old sister's gentle care and friendship, and that uncle, made him unable to refuse.

He was calm and silent, his face was as flat as a lake, and his chest was full of thunder.
-
"Uncle!"

On the hillside of Tu Shan, Dongfang Bai rushed out with his short legs, and rushed towards his uncle happily.

Xia Jingyun squatted slightly, then rushed to pick him up, and said with a smile, "How is it? Are you still used to living here?"

Dongfang Bai nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "The three gentlemen and senior brothers are all very good. Uncle, you are so good! You even won three yuan! I heard the gentlemen and senior brothers are talking about it!"

Xia Jingyun rubbed his head with a smile, "If you're not so good, how can you be your uncle, haha."

He put Dongfang Bai down, "Okay, just get tired of crooked for a while, and if you are seen by the master later, you will say that you are rude."

Dongfang Bai smiled, took Xia Jingyun's hand and walked in together, and greeted Tu Shan's disciples along the way, the pride in his tone and demeanor was not close to [This is my uncle, you are not serious] Straight Speak up.

"Ouch, our champion is here!"

In a piece of farmland, Mr. Linxi, who rolled up his trousers and sat on the ridge to rest, looked at Xia Jingyun and smiled.

Xia Jingyun sat down on the side without hesitation, and said with a smile: "Mr. Linxi, don't let this junior down. This achievement of this junior is not worth mentioning in front of the three gentlemen."

Mr. Kongbi walked over, with a rare smile on his dark face, "We also participated in the imperial examination before, and we didn't win three yuan in a row like you. We can still be proud when we should be proud."

Mr. Wan Lin also came, and said softly: "The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in the imperial capital in one day. I am afraid that this poem will become the dream of the future generations!"

Xia Jingyun cupped his hands and begged for mercy, "The three gentlemen don't boast any more, otherwise you will really spoil the younger generation. The main reason for coming here today is that I will leave Beijing by the emperor's order in a few days. Before I leave, I will come and see the three gentlemen, and Say good-bye to him. He's not bothering the three gentlemen here, is he?"

Mr. Linxi said softly: "Ms. De Concubine has always been known for benevolence, virtue and generosity. Gao Yang, you are also a gentle and refined person. Naturally, the prince of Jiaodong County is not arrogant. He usually respects teachers, is tolerant and courteous. Disciple, I am very relieved to wait."

Xia Jingyun listened to these words, but saw that Mr. Linxi's expression was a bit wrong, so he asked: "Sir, does it seem that you have something to hide?"

Mr. Kongbi sighed, and was about to speak when a disciple rushed over, stood beside the three of them, glanced at Xia Jingyun, saluted the three of them honestly, and said, "Sir, Linjiang County King and Jiaodong County The king is fighting again."

Beside an open space, two children wrestled together, but it seemed that the smaller one was at a disadvantage.

Linjiang County King Dongfangtai was born in a family of generals. Although he was still young, he was not good at bowing and horses, but his education was more or less focused. Throw Dongfang Bai to the ground.

Then, taking advantage of your illness killing you, he squeezed his fist and threw it at Dongfang Bai.

He punched and greeted his face.

But Dongfang Bai had also practiced with Xia Jingyun before, among other things, he was already conscious when he was using his brain. The soil was thrown towards Dongfang Tai, and then burst out with all its strength, and immediately turned and pressed Dongfang Tai under him.

The two helpers sent by the British government to look after him didn't dare to do anything to Dongfang Bai, and they were jumping with anxiety.

Dongfang Bai directly returned several punches, but Dongfang Tai was indeed stronger, and after taking a few blows, he threw Dongfang Bai out again, and seeing that the two of them were about to wrestle again, a voice shouted: "Stop! "

Dongfang Bai subconsciously stopped, Dongfangtai took the opportunity to kick over, and kicked Dongfang Bai firmly in the stomach.

Dongfang Bai clutched his stomach in pain, Xia Jingyun grabbed Dongfang Tai's collar, and immediately raised his right hand.

"Uncle, no!"

"Gao Yang can't!"

Two shouts sounded at the same time, Dongfangtai looked at Xia Jingyun mockingly, and sneered.
