Chapter 142: A good show
The surname Xie is one of the top vassal surnames of the Dading Dynasty, but the Xie family in Lijun is only a branch of the Xie family in Jiangzhou, a branch that is no longer possible to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors.
At the same time, this Xie family is also a descendant in the circle of powerful people in Lijun. Because they were not descendants of the group of people who followed the Luo family to conquer the country nine hundred years ago, they moved to Lijun more than 300 years ago. Because of their pure family tradition and family background, generations of descendants have become the best in the business world. They have accumulated little by little, and have become a very high-ranking family among the powerful people in Lijun. They are regarded as representatives of emerging powerful families and can compete with the old powerful people in Lijun.
The old man who looked like he was about to be buried was the current patriarch of the Xie family. He was an important official of the two dynasties who had once served as the chief official of the Li County Office. His son Xie Wushang was the chief official of the Li County Certificate. The father and son of the Xie family entered the Li County court and became the chief official of the Five Departments. This is rare in the entire history of the Li County. This is also the reason why the representatives of the Gongsun family, where the county magistrate Gongsun Cuo, were located, were sitting at the bottom of the old man surnamed Xie.
But this old man, who has always been famous for his harmonious temperament and wisdom, first took the lead in bowing to the new prefect at this unprecedented ceremony to ascend to the throne of the military camp, and then questioned the young new prefect after expressing his kindness. After the operation, everyone was confused and made the current situation look even more hazy.
Luo Chuan was not surprised when he heard the question from the old man named Xie Kunpeng. He just looked at the old man opposite him who looked a little thin and asked, "Mr. Xie thought Luo Chuan was like this, what did he think?"
Xie Kunpeng said Oh, then slowly said to himself as if he answered the question, "The old prefect governed the country with civilization for 16 years, and did not spend any troops outside and did not dictatorship inside. He left the county to resume production and recuperation, and finally had the current prosperity. However, in the last game of chess, it was unexpected to use martial arts to determine the country. With the six armies set, the universe will be settled. Foreign enemies should not be humiliated easily, and internal troubles can be settled at any time... What do the new prefect think?"
There was silence on the platform, but how many people around me felt nervous when they heard it, and only their own family knew it.
"Mr. Xie had already said it before, unexpectedly," Luo Chuan replied.
Xie Kunpeng nodded again and said, "If even the new prefect feels unexpected, then this game of chess will probably be beyond the expectations of the world. The old prefect saves the people of the county from a disaster that is as good as it was ten years ago. In this chaotic world, the sudden alternation of new and old prefects was completed in a rare and stable way. Now the new prefect chosen by the old prefect wants to do the opposite?"
Zhao Wuji, who had never spoken after Xie Kunpeng spoke, turned his head to look at the old man.
Luo Chuan smiled and shook his head, "I just want to go further."
Xie Kunpeng narrowed his turbid old eyes slightly, and then smiled, and shook his head with a smile, "It is a good thing for young people to have lofty ambitions, it is a good thing..." He stretched out his hand and pointed his head, "We are old, and we thought we could be more successful and more enterprising. Now, when we were young and frivolous, we just pretended to be Lijun in our minds... Now this world is probably a more bloody and bleak world. If Lijun is only in our eyes, the people of Lijun will suffer. People say that the old prefect is not lucky, and the Lijun who took over was the worst Lijun in hundreds of years. Now he gives you a prosperous Lijun, but I think your luck may be worse..."
"The prefect asked me before, the old man, whether the soldiers of Ganyuan can win. The old man does not understand military affairs and cannot speak nonsense," the old man shook his head and said, "But the old man knows that no matter the victory or defeat of this battle, my family in the county can afford it. No matter the victory or defeat, the new prefect of my county must draw a sword. If this sword can be cut off the head of the foreign enemy and his own black hand, the old man's game will be considered a perfect ending with Wuding Kingdom. But... the new prefect wants to go further, and his thoughts must also be further."
Luo Chuan didn't look at the complicated gazes that came around, but just looked at Xie Kunpeng and nodded seriously, "Mr. Xie's teachings today, I will remember them in my heart."
"This is not a teaching," Xie Kunpeng shook his hand and sighed, "The old man is old and cannot enter the court or go to the battlefield. But my Xie family still has a few children and grandchildren. I will write them a letter to tell them that if they can die loyally for the prefect, they will be the greatest filial piety to me, the old man..."
Luochuan was solemn, "I heard from Jiang Bo mention Mr. Xie. Mr. Zeng Yan knew very well that righteousness was a pillar of Li County. Now that I saw that I am well-known, I think the children and grandchildren of the Xie family should be loyal and filial. I will go south to Licheng tomorrow. When I come to Ganyuan again, I can cook a pot of wine with Mr. Xie to discuss the world."
"Cook a pot of wine to discuss the world..." Xie Kunpeng stood up tremblingly with the support of the two servants behind him. He tightened his robes and said, "The prefect is so proud. Xie Kunpeng is waiting for the priest in Ganyuan."
After saying that, he rushed to the high platform to the words of a group of powerful families, raised his hand and bowed, turned around and got off the high platform and left.
The platform became quieter and quieter, but without waiting for the others to react, the Gongsun family sermon sitting next to Xie Kunpeng stood up and bowed to Luochuan, saying without raising his head, "The head of the Gongsun family is waiting for the prefect to return to his post. The Gongsun family has been loyal for generations, and the descendants are willing to die for the prefect to the prefect to the country!"
After saying it in a straightforward manner, the people present from other families followed suit, kneeling down and bowing, and expressing their sincere opinions.
Luochuan lost his cold and hard posture during the military parade before, and he smiled warmly to help the people of the powerful families on the high platform. With a deep smile, he talked with them one by one and sent them away one by one, especially Dou, Zhou, Chen, Lin and other major surnames, including Gongsun's family, were even more enthusiastic, as if they were not strangers who had just met today, but the friendship between the king and the ministers who had been together for more than ten years.
Only when there was no more powerful Ganyuan on the platform, only Luo Chuan and Zhao Wuji were left, the two got together again.
Luo Chuan's smile diluted. He stared at Wan Wu, the military formation still enthusiastically under the platform, and asked Zhao Wuji, "Uncle Zhao, how much do you think we can get in today's scene?"
"Seven or eight points," Zhao Wuji looked into the distance, and several carriages that finally drove out of the military camp had already been on the official road. "It would be great that the old man from the Xie family could do this today."
Luo Chuan nodded, "The Xie father and son are two important officials in one family, and their courage is naturally not small. In this way, even if Xie Wu is unable to get in the future, I will leave a road to heaven for other young people in the Xie family. If the young people in their family are really useful, it would be fine to give him a five-secret official..."
"The people from the Lin family are a little too quiet today..." Zhao Wuji said inadvertently.
Luo Chuan nodded again, his eyes cold, "No mistakes are allowed in this battle, so Uncle Zhao pulled him out for me," his voice calmly, "I can't accept such a good show, only seven or eight points... I just use the Lin family to make up for the last few points in the hearts of others!!"
