Chapter 158 The old man convinces people with reason (for the beaten sister Yu 6)
Incense was burned in the duty room.
When Yang Xuan arrived, Zhou Ning was rubbing incense sticks.
"What's this?"
"Smell it." Zhou Ning closed his eyes.
Yang Xuan sniffed, "Aning, you have an indescribable smell about you. It's not really fragrant, it just smells good."
Zhou Ning opened his eyes, feeling ashamed and annoyed, "It's that fragrance."
"Aha! You actually describe a woman's body fragrance in such a simple way, what a talent!" said Suzaku.
Yang Xuan sniffed and said, "It's quite peaceful."
"It's for concentration." Zhou Ning said as he rubbed it, "I found a prescription from a metaphysician senior who said that this kind of incense is most suitable for concentration and calmness during cultivation. You are in Northern Xinjiang with all the complicated things and it is hard to calm down.
, I’ll take a few boxes back when I’m done.”
The two of them were rubbing each other side by side.
The rolled incense had to be dried, so Zhou Ning asked: "When will you go back?"
"Two more days."
Eyes facing each other.
"Assistant teacher."
A clerk came outside.
The two of them quickly sat up straight, feeling a sneaky feeling arise spontaneously.
"Aning."
"What's the matter?"
"Do you have that kind of recipe?"
"What recipe?"
"that is……"
Later, Zhou Ning blushed with embarrassment, and Yang Xuan stood by to apologize.
"Second Lady!"
When Xie Yu came, he glanced at Yang Xuan, and when he saw Zhou Ning's reddish face, he became angry instantly.
But he is only in charge, not the master.
So he suppressed his anger and said, "Second Lady, there is a banquet at home today, and your husband wants you to go back."
He added: "The guests have admired the name of the Zhou family for a long time, and they respect the second lady even more."
This is a hint.
Xie Yu glanced at Yang Xuan and couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw his calm expression.
"I'm not free today."
Zhou Ning stood up and said, "Go back and tell Aye that I haven't been free recently."
Xie Yu said respectfully: "Yes, I will resign."
After he left, Zhou Ning glanced at Yang Xuan and said, "This is Xie Yu, the steward of the family. He used to come to the Imperial College."
"You don't need to explain." Yang Xuan smiled and said, "The Zhou family is the Zhou family, and you are you."
Zhou Ning lowered his eyes slightly and blinked his eyelashes.
"Aning."
"Um!"
"Do you think I like horse racing or chess?"
"Let's play chess!"
"No, I like you."
…
Early summer in northern Xinjiang is like a magnificent picture, with beautiful scenery everywhere.
The same is true for Tanzhou.
Groups of cattle and sheep moved slowly on the grassland, like clouds.
The herdsmen rode their horses to follow, and melodious singing slowly came.
He Lianchun, the uncle of the Daliao Emperor, was watching this scene not far away.
"This year the pasture will be rich and fertile, and the cattle and sheep will grow strong."
Local officials are showing off their merits.
But the emperor's uncle remained indifferent.
Did I say something wrong?
The local official's brain suddenly twitched, "Thanks to the emperor's new canal, the pastures will be plentiful and the crops will be harvested."
The emperor's uncle had a touch of satisfaction on his face and patted him on the shoulder, "Not bad."
The local official smiled flatteringly, "I don't know, uncle, but the people of Tanzhou have been rejoicing since the water conservancy project was started! Many people spontaneously prepared the Ten Thousand People's Umbrella, and some people said that without the emperor, Tanzhou would have declined long ago!"
"
It’s embarrassing to drag out a piece of writing!
Officials who were traveling with him felt that this person was unlearned and unskilled.
The emperor's uncle coughed dryly, his fat body trembling slightly, "Let's do it tomorrow, the king will prepare a banquet tomorrow."
This means preparing to take him under the wings of the emperor's uncle.
"Thank you, uncle!"
The official shed tears of gratitude and wished he could rush up and lick the emperor's boots.
How ugly!
But other officials wished they could take their own lives.
The emperor's uncle coughed dryly and said, "We must pay close attention to water conservancy matters. However, I am busy with everything, so this matter has to fall on others. You have to supervise it."
"yes!"
Someone said: "Uncle, there is a messenger."
More than ten horses came galloping, "Where is your uncle?"
"The king is here!"
The messenger came closer and said: "Your Majesty has an order."
The emperor's uncle waved his hand and the others dispersed.
The messenger then said: "Your Majesty ordered the emperor's uncle to incite the three major ministries to attack Chenzhou."
He Lianchun nodded and asked: "Lin Ya was defeated, your Majesty did not kill him?"
The envoy said: "Your Majesty is magnanimous. Your right minister sheds tears of gratitude and swears allegiance to your Majesty."
"Ha!" The emperor's uncle smiled honestly, "It's a good thing. I'll report it back to Your Majesty, I know it."
The messenger mounted his horse and rode away.
Behind him, the emperor's uncle said quietly: "This is my king's business!"
Returning to his residence, He Lianchun found his confidant Liu Song.
"Your Majesty ordered me to mobilize three major troops to attack Chenzhou. What do you think?"
Liu Song, who looked like a little old man, said: "After Lin Ya lost the battle, His Majesty was obviously in a happy mood, but he pretended to be angry."
"You are also a wonderful person." He Lianchun smiled honestly, "With Lin Ya's defeat, the rebellion case at the end of last year was temporarily stopped."
Liu Song said: "Originally, if Lin Ya was defeated, Xiao Hua's ambush would be effective, and then he would turn defeat into victory. Your Majesty would be able to kill Lin Ya. But he didn't expect that Huang Chunhui actually withdrew his troops, and Lin Ya ran into the ambush. This
It’s embarrassing and makes people want to find a way to crawl in.”
"Huang Chunhui ruined your majesty's plan, but he is old and should go back." He Lianchun stroked his short beard and said, "I have people go to the three major departments and tell them that this year is not going well, and Chenzhou is
I heard that we are getting richer and richer, so go grab some."
…
"Invasion of Chenzhou?"
"right."
"Ben Khan knows."
Huazhuo, the Khan of the Wase tribe, saw off the emperor's uncle's envoy and turned back into the tent.
"This is venting anger!"
Wahai, who was sitting in the corner, coughed dryly.
"The injury hasn't healed yet?" Hua Zhuo asked with concern.
Wahai shook his head, "It's still a little worse, but it won't hurt if you do it."
"When I find the person who did it, I will avenge you!" Hua Zhuo gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
Wahai said: "It is said to be King Wei."
Hua Zhuo: "..."
If King Wei is killed, no matter what the Tang Emperor's temper is, unless the emperor's uncle can bring the Waxie tribe under his wing, he will have only one way to escape.
Wahai pursed her thin lips slightly, "It doesn't matter. By the way, we are attacking Chenzhou... where should we attack?"
"Of course it's Taiping." Hua Zhuo said with a ferocious smile: "Taiping grew a lot of grain this year, but he trampled all of it."
"How many troops will be dispatched?" Wahai said calmly: "Is it worth it to collect chestnuts from the fire in Bei Liao?"
"Let's take a look first." Hua Zhuo calmed down.
…
"What's happening next door?"
King Wei is getting moldy from staying in the house.
Huang Ping smiled and said: "Director Cao Ying, there are two other women in the back house all day, and Nan He is training troops. Your Majesty, the Taiping Army is all armored this time, and there are many more cavalry. They are training at the foot of the mountain all day.
.”
"Your Majesty."
A guard came in and said, "A letter from the princess."
King Wei said with a cold face, "Why should I write a letter if I have nothing to do?"
He took the letter, opened it, read it quickly, and then squinted in thought.
Huang Ping knew that something was wrong. He waved his hand and the guards left.
"The King of Yue is quite friendly in southern Xinjiang." King Wei sneered, "You kid is trying to win people's hearts!"
Huang Ping said: "The king of Yue is weak and it will be useless to win people's hearts."
"Aye was furious and scolded the prince for not caring about his body. This is strange."
"This...does your Majesty want to reuse the prince again?"
King Wei frowned, "With four surnames in the family behind him, such a prince will only make Aye jealous."
The person next door was wondering why the emperor suddenly changed his mind towards the prince, and was quite troubled.
Yi Niang was not much better.
"The butt needs to be sent first, the butt!"
"Hey! You should walk softly. You walk so stiffly. Where is the softness of a woman? Will your heart be moved when you see her?"
Zhang Siniang almost wanted to cry.
Yi Niang said fiercely: "Practice again."
After dinner, she talked to Cao Ying.
"Zhang Siniang is not very enlightened."
"It's pretty long." Cao Ying stroked her beard.
"Do you think my husband will be short of beauties in the future?"
"My husband has no shortage of beauties, but he lacks beauties that he can trust. So you train Zhang Siniang and want her to be the woman who takes care of things around him, right?"
"Old fox!" Yi Niang said with some emotion: "People's hearts are unpredictable. To be honest, I can't even trust Zhang Siniang."
"You are crazy." Cao Ying found it a little funny, "How can there be anyone trustworthy in this world?"
"That's right, only by letting your husband control their life, death, honor, disgrace, wealth, and honor can they be trusted."
"Calm down, Zhang Siniang has been walking around the back house all day, be careful of lameness."
"Hey! When do you think Lang Jun will come back?"
"How could I know?"
"Old Cao, something hasn't been right with you lately."
"What's the meaning?"
"You look so tired, are you going to be a thief?"
"..."
"How about I give you acupuncture?"
"I'm afraid of dying under your silver needle."
Cao Ying rubbed her eyes, "The population in Taiping is increasing, and there are more and more affairs. What's terrible is that Taiping has now become a popular place, and some people want to come and serve."
"Hey! Isn't this a good thing?" Yi Niang said with a smile: "The county is short of many people, and a few of them can help."
Cao Ying raised her head, "They want to be my Shangguan."
"County Magistrate?"
"right!"
“They are beautiful!”
Cao Ying said: "Taiping now has the Taiping Army, cattle and sheep, and a lot of cultivated fields. In time, it will be Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall. It has attracted many people to covet it."
"It's because of Lang Jun's ability."
"yes!"
In Lin'an City.
"Your Majesty, many people want to go to Taiping recently. This is a rare thing."
Lu Qiang entered the check-in room with a smile.
Liu Qing put down his pen, rubbed his face and eyes, "Those people are interested in Taiping's current prosperity, but they can't see the crisis."
"Yes!" Lu Qiang sat down, "Bei Liao is newly defeated, and they will come to take revenge no matter what. The Waxie tribe is opposite Taiping, hey! Sir, why do I think that someone else can't defend Taiping?"
Liu Qing nodded, "When Yang Xuan went to Taiping, the first thing he did was to convince those criminals. To be honest, the moral integrity of those criminals is probably better than that of many officials. If someone else goes there, I'm afraid they won't be able to suppress them."
"They want to plan for the position of county magistrate."
Liu Qing said: "Let them come, I will see for myself."
Later, five officials came in.
"They all look good."
Liu Qing's first words made the five people feel happy.
"Being the county magistrate, waiting for Yang Xuan to take over after he gets promoted, and then using the Taiping Army to achieve military exploits. This is a good idea. I don't think there is anything wrong with it, just one sentence."
The five people raised their heads, their eyes burning.
"Where's your face?" Liu Qing slapped the table, and the envoy roared after a long absence.
"Where's the face!"
"It's common for officials to be shameless, and they can't be promoted if they want face. What I'm asking is, how shameless do you think you can suppress those murderers?"
"Not just the Taiping Army, there are all kinds of people in the city, murderers, thieves, liars..."
"How many county magistrates were defeated in the Taiping period? It wasn't until Yang Xuan died that he became more attractive. Do you think that if he can do it, you can do it too?"
"roll!"
Outside the door, more than a dozen people who had been in the dust dismounted from their horses, and the leader praised: "Your voice is full of energy, good."
The disciple raised his hand and said, "I have met Yang Ming's house. Yang Ming's house is back from Chang'an."
"Well, go ahead and report it."
Menzi shook his head, "The envoy said that Yang Ming's residence can be entered directly."
No one else has this kind of preferential treatment.
Yang Xuangang had not gone far when he saw five disgraced officials coming out.
"Hey! How did these people see my shameful and angry look?"
The old thief nodded, "He looks a little embarrassed and angry, but I don't know why."
Wang Laoer said, "I must think that Lang Jun is more handsome than them and is jealous."
This baby!
"The second one is getting smarter."
Yang Xuan smiled and entered the check-in room.
"I've seen the envoy, and I've seen the driver."
"Hey! Zitai is back."
Lu Qiang stood up and said with a smile: "This person really can't say anything. He will come as soon as he says it."
Liu Qing said with a straight face, "Will there be any gains from this trip to Chang'an?"
"Yes." Yang Xuan sat down, poured himself a cup of tea without anyone seeing him, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Zhongcheng became Xianggong."
"But you stayed in Chang'an?" Liu Qing's expression changed slightly.
"No, we came back together this time."
Liu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Ministry of War has allocated a batch of armor and weapons to Northern Xinjiang. Sir, I have contributed a lot to this matter, and I deserve a big share."
After hearing what happened, Liu Qing cursed: "Do you think you can persuade that old guy Song Zhen with just your mouth? Bullshit! This is clearly a move by those people to block public opinion."
Lu Qiang explained: "In the past, Chang'an treated Northern Xinjiang poorly, and everyone knows this. If the DPRK doesn't get some good things, let alone Northern Xinjiang, I'm afraid there will be people in Chang'an... scolding!"
Who are you scolding?
Call him a dog emperor!
The three of them looked at each other, and a tacit understanding emerged.
Liu Qing thought of what happened before, "By the way, your Taiping still lacks officials, I will fill them here for you."
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Thank you so much, envoy. However, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has said that Cao Ying, the current county lieutenant of Taiping County, has done a good job and plans to promote him to county magistrate."
The matter was wiped away.
"Bei Liao is newly defeated, so be careful of their revenge. You are facing the Waxie tribe in Taiping, and Hua Zhuo hates you very much." Liu Qing stood up, "In this case, I won't keep you, go back quickly."
"Your Majesty." Yang Xuan solemnly handed over his hand.
"Go." Liu Qing waved his hand.
"Your Majesty." Yang Xuan held his hand again.
Liu Qing's cheeks trembled slightly, "You are already an old man and you still want to beat me up?"
"Just one thousand catties." Yang Xuan refused to give in.
"You have your own flock of sheep, and you slaughter a lot of them for dried meat."
"Those are seeds!" Yang Xuan said sadly and angrily: "If you die of hunger, you won't eat the seed grain, and if you die of poverty, you won't eat the seed sheep!"
"You damn girl, you said it so smoothly. I'll give you eight hundred catties, get out!"
"Thank you so much, envoy. I'll come back next month." Yang Xuan bowed his hands and resigned.
"I'll break your legs again!"
Amid the roar, Yang Xuan found the official in charge, "Eight hundred kilograms of dried meat, hurry up!"
"You damn girl, you're like a gangster, you just have to eat my flesh." Liu Qing laughed and cursed.
Lu Qiang whispered: "Cao Ying's promotion must be the result of Yang Xuan's own operation."
"Are you worried that Taiping will become a self-contained entity?"
"yes."
"If something happens to Taiping, we can support you at any time?"
"It's difficult, the road is too long."
"Since you can't help, then let go and let the young people go and have their own way."
Liu Qing turned around and said softly: "Chang'an is restricting our northern border. Could it be that I, Chenzhou, should follow suit and hold back Taiping?"
Lu Qiang smiled bitterly, "I'm just worried that someone will criticize me."
"I'm here. If you want to criticize me, please come and argue with me first."
"Your Majesty's loud voice is well-known in Northern Xinjiang. Most people would not dare to do so for fear of being sprayed all over their face by you."
"I convince people with reason!"
