Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 240 Daqing
There were still many people in the tea room.

Moreover, many of them were important figures from all over Jizhou Prefecture. Some of them Yang Qian knew, and some he did not.

At this time, these big shots had no mood to drink tea, nor did they show off anything profound. Those who knew each other gathered together to talk, all of which were about why Prince Yue came to see Master Liu.

When they saw Yang Qian come in, most of these people's voices suddenly became quiet, and many of the topics turned to Yang Qian.

"That's him!" or "Awesome!" or "Stay away!" and other words could not escape Yang Qian's ears. His current body was no longer an "ordinary person". Without the use of magic, his hearing and eyesight were very sharp. As long as he wanted, the whispers of everyone in the teahouse could not escape his ears.

For example, at this moment, the people in the tea room were talking about the reason why Yang Qian was avoiding them, which was because of Bai Yuan’s previous incident.

The dignified Zuofu Yamen was able to do what it said, and it must have forced Bai Yuan to join the army. How many years has it been since Jizhou Prefecture has seen such a capable person?
As for the behind-the-scenes game, it was no more than Liu Chuan and Yue Wangzhong. Who among the adults present didn't know about it? Even many of them were involved in it themselves.

Who would dare to approach Yang Qian before the outcome of this matter was decided? Naturally, they would avoid him.

Yang Qian didn't care about the gossip about himself. These officials were not on the same side as him, so there was no need to bother with them. But Yang Qian was somewhat interested in what they were saying about Prince Yue coming to the government office.

"Sir, what do you mean by 'Daqing'?" Yang Qian smiled and turned to ask the person closest to him. The man was wearing the robes of a yamen master, and it was unknown which city under the jurisdiction of Jizhou Prefecture he was from.

Perhaps he didn't expect Yang Qian to come over so suddenly. He was obviously stunned for a moment, then he forced a smile on his face and said, "Master Yang, don't you know that the triennial Colorful Cloud Festival will be in three days? That's what Daqing is talking about."

Colorful Cloud Festival?
Yang Qian suddenly realized. He was curious about the decorations on the streets in recent days, thinking that some wealthy family was going to get married and that was why the whole city was decorated with lanterns, but he was too anxious to think about it. He forgot the most important festival in the Hongwu Dynasty.

Caiyun Festival is a unique festival in the Hongwu Dynasty, in memory of a woman named "Caiyun".

It is said that this woman was a great hero in a national war at the beginning of the Hongwu Dynasty. She led the old and weak in the city and continued to hold on for several days after the guards fled in the battle. Finally, the army of the imperial dynasty came to rescue and saved the people in the city. However, she died of exhaustion on the city wall just before the victory.

In the Hongwu Dynasty, the birthday of Yin was counted as three Yang and one Yin, so the Caiyun Festival was held every three years, which was actually to celebrate the birthday of Yin for "Caiyun".

It is said that every time this festival came, people of all ages in the Hongwu Dynasty would revel for three days. Local government offices also held many celebrations for the people to enjoy together.

Why is it said? Because Yang Qian had never celebrated the Colorful Cloud Festival when he came to this world, and the scenes of this festival only existed vaguely in his memory.

"In the past, did Prince Yue come to the palace to discuss Daqing affairs with the Lord?" Yang Qian, in line with the idea of ​​not bothering two masters for the same matter, continued to ask the yamen master in front of him, who was from an unknown city.

"That's hard to say. Prince Yue is a respected person and he usually doesn't come to the government office. Lord Yang is close to the Lord of the Mansion, so why don't you ask the Lord of the Mansion in person later?"

There is thorn in these words, but it is unclear what the basis is, and it is difficult to tell whether they are close or distant. The distance seems close or far.

Otherwise, why do we say that these people are all big shots? With this simple sentence, he not only answered Yang Qian's words, but also deliberately stabbed Yang Qian. The sense of distance was perfectly grasped.

Yang Qian smiled and nodded at the other party, then turned around and didn't ask any more questions. The other party answered what he should answer, and also expressed his unwillingness to contact. If he continued to pester him, he would not know how to proceed.

"Yue Wang is a respected person, and he usually doesn't come to the government office."

This means that it is very unusual for Prince Yue to come this time. Even if it is speculated to be related to Daqing, Prince Yue should not come to visit. Instead, he should invite Liu Chuan to go to the Shattered Mirror Lake Manor outside the city.

Yang Qian’s first reaction was that since Prince Yue was here, he must be ready to make a move.

It seems that the warning given to Yang Qian in the restaurant was not just talk. Before he finished his cup of tea, there was a voice outside the teahouse. Prince Yue came out of Liu Chuan's official room. Without stopping, he led the golden sword guards and left quickly. He ignored the people who saluted him on both sides. He had a noble air that Yang Qian had not felt before they met.

As soon as Prince Yue left, a guard came over and called out the number, but he directly called out Yang Qian's name.

"Master Yang from the Patrol Office, the Palace Master wants to see you."

This sentence once again made Yang Qian the focus of everyone in the tea room. Everyone held a number card, with similar identities, and some even had titles two levels higher than Yang Qian. But it was obvious that Yang Qian was more valued by Liu Chuan at this time, and he didn't even sort them out, and directly called Yang Qian in.

They were all smart people, and no one was discussing right and wrong at this time, but they were all thinking in their hearts that after today, it would be better for them to avoid coming to the capital city for some time, as they felt the atmosphere here was unusual.

It would be strange if it could be ordinary.

On one hand, the prince came in person, but Liu Chuan only escorted him to the door of the government office? On the other hand, the department relied heavily on the patrol department, and with all the previous rumors, it seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.

In the public office.

"See the Lord of the Palace!"

"Well, did you see Prince Yue who just left?"

"I noticed that Prince Yue brought a lot of royal guards with him today, and he didn't look very happy."

"He's probably unhappy that I didn't send him out. Tsk, can you guess why Prince Yue came here?"

"I don't know. But I think it's not a good thing."

"Haha." Liu Chuan laughed, "Good thing? Does drinking count as a good thing? King Yue is here to post something for me."

As he spoke, Liu Chuan picked up a gold-embossed invitation from the table and handed it to Yang Qian, motioning for Yang Qian to take a look.

"The third day of the first lunar month. Three days later? The Rainbow Cloud Festival?" Yang Qian was surprised. He didn't expect that the people in the teahouse had guessed the reason correctly. It was just that it was not a grand celebration, but a banquet.

The prince personally sent the invitation to the door, so Liu Chuan had to go even if he didn't want to. No wonder Liu Chuan looked unhappy and didn't even see Prince Yue off.

"How come you also received the invitation?" Liu Chuan joked.

"You are joking, my lord. I am not qualified for this."

"I'm not kidding. Just now, Prince Yue praised you in front of me, saying that you are a man who knows how to handle current affairs and has ability, and asked me to give you more responsibilities in the future. He seemed to be very familiar with you.

I thought you would have an invitation too."

Yang Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, I am not close to Prince Yue. And even if the invitation is really sent, I dare not go. Sir, you should think twice before acting."

"Oh? Please tell me."
