Within two days, the official ship of Wei King Zhao Dezhao arrived at Xuyi. Yang Hao and Xuyi County Magistrate Yun Tianxiao went to the dock to meet him, and welcomed King Wei into the magistrate's office. County Magistrate Yun couldn't wait to complain to King Wei and went south to collect grain.
Yang Hao, the vanguard, had a leisurely look on his face, not caring at all.
When he was patrolling the Jianghuai Road, Yang Hao advocated aimlessness and followed his footsteps. Murong Qiuzui pretended to be a senior and taught him a lesson, but he was ridiculed and rebutted by Yang Hao. At that time, Yang Hao's idea was to kill as a warning to others.
In any dynasty, there is no shortage of good officials and dirty officials. No matter how clear the government is in the dynasty, therefore, the more the yamen represents huge interests, the more corrupt officials will be. Yang Hao knows that he is in the right place.
He was not worried that he would not find the chicken to scare the monkeys along the way, but he did not expect that the one he found in the end was Deng Zuyang. As a faint official, Deng Zuyang's ability to perform politics was certainly insufficient, but his own end was really pitiful.
some.
However, staying in Sizhou for so long this time and finally catching up all the corrupt officials still played a due role as a deterrent. The enthusiasm of the officials in Jianghuai Road to buy and transport grain and rice was unprecedentedly high. Grain gentry, rice and grain market
The Ya people and the petty officials who buy food in the official warehouses no longer dare to collude unscrupulously to make profits. Now, as long as the dams and sluices built everywhere can stand the test of practice and ensure the smooth flow of the canal waterways, then the millions of residents of Kaifeng will not be able to
Mi Xia Chui's dilemma can be solved, so Yang Hao's mentality is very stable at the moment.
As for the dispute between Huaiyin County and Xuyi County, he didn't pay much attention to it. He also learned about it in the past few days and knew that what the two county magistrates said was true. Huaiyin County suffered a disaster and Xuyi County had a good harvest.
In that year, Huaiyin County also secretly sent people to Xuyi County to send grain and rice. If Xuyi County encountered difficulties in its own purchase task, it would also send people to obstruct it, but in ordinary years, it was different from this time when the court issued a grain and rice purchase task.
It was urgent, so the conflict between them had never been so intensified. Since this was a chronic disease in the officialdom, many capable advisers could not come up with a solution that would satisfy both parties, so he did not bother to use his brains.
Is this mentality entirely due to a chronic illness that cannot be cured, or did Ziyu's words of scolding him that day play a role? Yang Hao has never thought about it deeply, but his mentality has changed unknowingly. The thoughts of his daughter's family are the most important.
Sensitive, Wu Wa'er has been vaguely aware of his change.
After Wei King Zhao Dezhao was welcomed into the magistrate's office, Yunzhi County immediately reported the disputes between the county and Huaiyin County to the King of Wei. He was extremely angry at Huaiyin County's ban on buying goods. Zhao Dezhao was also not very concerned about this kind of thing.
After hearing this, he thought that Huaiyin County was deliberately trying to embarrass his colleagues and sabotage the imperial acquisition. He couldn't help but became furious and immediately declared that he would deal with the matter strictly.
After Na Yunzhi left happily and Murong Qiu was drunk, Cheng Yu and others spoke one after another and told the King of Wei the reasons for the shortcomings. Only then did the King of Wei realize that he was young and ignorant, and it was too rash to express his position in such a hasty manner.
In this matter, the Xuyi County Magistrate was certainly right, but the Huaiyin County Magistrate was also righteous. The reasons for the internal situation were extremely complicated. How could he easily bring out the Imperial Envoy's Yue and violently interfere with Huaiyin County?
But he was a dignified prince and an imperial envoy who patrolled the sky. He had just promised to handle the case strictly. How could he break his promise now? Zhao Dezhao knew Meng Lang, but he didn't know how to stop. After thinking hard for a long time, he suddenly saw Yang
Hao sat aside with nothing to do, and it was as if he saw a savior.
It was only Yang Hao who gave him advice along the way, so that he could overcome obstacles and make everything smooth. When he thought, Yang Hao must have a way to not only preserve his dignity, but also resolve the disputes between Huaiyin and Xuyi counties. Zhao Dezhao immediately became friendly.
He asked Yang Hao: "Mr. Yang, how many days have you been here earlier? You must be familiar with the situation. I wonder if the envoy can have a two-pronged strategy to teach me?"
Yang Hao originally wanted to stay out of the matter, but he didn't expect that he would still ask the question. After a moment of hesitation, he leaned forward and said: "Your Majesty, Xuyi County sent the purchase, and Huaiyin County stopped the purchase. Their purpose is for the imperial court. There is no doubt about your loyalty. Therefore,
When there is a rift, it is a helpless move. Because the two places have different food and rice shortages, there is no solution to this dispute that will bring the best of both worlds.
In the opinion of the lower officials, the prince sent an experienced and prudent official to Huaiyin County to conduct an investigation. This would appease the heart of Yun Zhi County of this county, and at the same time, it also considered the wishes of Li Zhi County of Huaiyin. At that time, he would mediate between them.
That’s two counties
It's all for the sake of the court, and for the sake of the prince, naturally there will be no more resentment. As for the difficulties in Yunzhi County, as the hunting minister, the prince can report the situation to the officials and ask for some money and food to be exempted on his behalf. Yunzhi County
I will definitely be grateful."
When Zhao Dezhao heard this, he said happily: "What Yang Yuan Envoy said is reasonable, then... Yang Yuan Envoy is willing to take the place of my king and his party?"
"Well..., I've been working hard these past few days, and I'm a little acclimated to the climate. I'm in the process of recuperating, so I might not be able to make the trip. Besides... I'm here to be a peacemaker. I'm impatient and can't bear the heavy responsibility."
, Your Majesty should choose an official who is mature, prudent and well-respected by people, that is the best candidate."
"Being mature and prudent, people in Sufu look forward to it?"
Zhao Dezhao glanced at Chu Zhaofu, the Third Chief of Staff who was sitting beside him and was leading him to death. Old Chu knew that there was hope that the food shortage could be solved now, and he had saved his life, but he would definitely not be able to serve as an official of the Third Chief of Staff.
He would be dismissed as soon as he returned to Beijing. When he first left Beijing, he spent the whole day thinking about what to do.
In order to take care of his own funeral, how to find a way out of his predicament, he spent all day thinking about how to find a way out for himself. In the past few days, he had been writing letters back to Beijing, and was letting his family members move around, busy trying to clear the relationship for him.
, If you can’t put out your own fire, how can you think about putting out other people’s fires?
Zhao Dezhao saw that Chu Zhaofu was out of his mind and looked so depressed that he could not be used at all, so he had to turn his head to look at the other officials... Zhao Dezhao turned his attention to Cheng Yu and Cheng Dexuan, the two leaders.
He has been in prison for many years, and every day he is either interrogating or sentencing prisoners, and his fighting face is always on his face.
They were tensed and looked extremely serious. When they saw him looking at them, although they tried to look gentle, the lines on their faces were still a bit harsh. This kind of virtue was enough for them to go to Huaiyin to intimidate.
, guaranteed to scare the babies away from crying at night, and asking them to be peacemakers is not like it at all...
When Murong Qiuzui saw King Wei turning his attention to Cheng Yu and others, he quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "If you don't mind me being a thousand years old, I would like to go to Huaiyin."
Murong Qiuzui was worried. This Huaiyin County Magistrate was also an official promoted by Zhao Pu. Originally, Zhao Pu was the leader of hundreds of officials, and it was his duty to appoint talents and talents. He did not have a sharp eye. There were many good and bad officials.
method, but if someone is interested in it and deliberately takes this
It was really hard to make a fuss over everything. Murong Qiuzui was afraid that the Nanya people in Huaiyin County would find out something, so at this critical moment, he repeatedly gave Zhao Kuangyin eye drops, so that the officials would not get angry.
Weird, so when he saw that King Wei wanted someone from Nanya to come forward, he immediately took the initiative to ask for help.
"Is this..." Zhao Dezhao looked at Murong Qiuzui, who looked kind-hearted and looked like a kind-hearted elder, and felt a little moved. However, after all, Murong Qiuzui was only a staff member of the prime minister's office and had no official position in the court. He hesitated and said:
"Okay, then I'll give Mr. Murong a trip. Hmm... Judge Cheng, let's go together. This Jianghuai food collection will soon be a success. You should act properly and don't create any complications."
"Yes, then I will go with Cheng Gongcao to accompany Mr. Murong." Cheng Yu glanced at Murong Qiuzui with a smile. When Fang Zhengnan heard that he was busy, he stood up and said: "Anyway, Xuyi has nothing to do. I have been taking a boat for days.
, I feel that my body and bones are aching, so I just go with Mr. Murong."
The four people on both sides looked at each other coldly, with a provocative light in their eyes again. Chu Zhaofu yawned boredly, and glanced at Yang Hao unintentionally, and saw that Yang Hao also had the same lazy look on his face, and looked at Cheng
Yu, Murong Qiuzui and others seemed not to care about the overt and covert fighting, and couldn't help but be startled. His eyes turned slightly, and Chu Zhaofu showed a thoughtful expression.
After leaving King Wei's residence, Cheng Yu hurried a few steps, caught up with Yang Hao, and said with a smile: "The King of Wei wants to invite the envoy to Huaiyin, which shows how much he relies on the envoy. How can the envoy refuse with any excuse?"
Are you feeling sick? Are you really feeling unwell?"
Yang Hao stopped and turned around, glanced at Murong Qiuzui and Fang Zhengnan in the distance, cupped his hands and said, "Haha, Mr. Cheng, please."
Yang Hao walked side by side with Cheng Yu and said with a smile: "Huaiyin County ignores the difficulties faced by colleagues and blatantly acts as a beggar to its neighbors. It's just because Xuyi County's actions affect the interests and political achievements of Huaiyin County. As long as the quota of grain and rice is purchased
It is still an examination for officials in various prefectures and counties, and the output of grain and rice in each place cannot be large, so this kind of dispute will never be cut off among local officials, and it will be useless and impossible to reconcile anyone who is sent here.
.”
Cheng Yu smiled slightly, and Yang Hao added: "Your Excellency is the judge of Nanya, and has handled tens of thousands of cases. You should know that no matter how good the legal system is, it must be executed and obeyed by people. Wherever there are people,
There are different interest groups, so there can never be a monolithic system.
Regardless of whether a law or a system can be implemented and to what extent it can be implemented, it depends on whether the group that benefits from it is the most powerful among various groups, rather than on fairness and justice. Huaiyin, Xuyi
The battle between two counties,
It's just a local conflict of interests that conforms to the general interests of the imperial court. Speaking of which, the two counties each have their own difficulties. In the final analysis, they are just trying to be peacemakers. I really can't do this with my fiery temper.
It’s a job, haha, so I have to give way to Xian.”
Cheng Yu glanced at him in surprise. He didn't expect that this seemingly reckless person could see so clearly. At the same time, he could be so confidant to him, which obviously meant that he recognized his Nanya faction identity and put himself in
As one of his own. Thinking of this, Cheng Yu was very happy and said to Yang
Hao also got closer and smiled and said: "Haha, what I said makes sense. This kind of thing cannot be perfect in every aspect. After making peace with each other, although it can calm things down, but if you want everyone to be happy, it is absolutely impossible.
Instead of doing this, this thankless peacemaker might as well not do it."
He glanced at Yang Hao with a smile, and laughed in a low voice: "The woman on the ship that I used to hide my identity must not have been hired to make up for my salary, but is indeed a member of my family, right?"
"Uh... Brother Cheng has a keen eye."
Seeing that he wanted to get close to him, Yang Hao called him brother, so he also changed his name to brother Cheng. When he heard him ask about his female family members, his heart skipped a beat: "I had known my whereabouts, and they wouldn't have ignored me, but...
…Cheng Yu suddenly asked me what the purpose of the female family members on the ship was. Could it be that he had already noticed Yanyan’s identity? Impossible. The conditions of this era have been well-known for a long time. There are many people who don’t know her. He probably doesn’t know Yanyan.
Bar."
Cheng Yu laughed heartily: "I've heard that Brother Yang has taken the girl from Meihu Caves as his concubine. She is charming and charming, and is famous in the capital. It's a blessing for me to have this beautiful girl in my private house. It's a pity that I'm newlywed.
He was caught on official business, haha, it’s okay, now it’s a matter of public and private matters, let’s go to Huaiyin, no one will come to hinder your good things, I can take my beautiful family to visit the scenery of Xuyi.”
Cheng Yu winked at him again and whispered: "Don't worry, the Brotherhood will keep this matter a secret for you and no one will know about it."
Yang Hao smiled and said: "Thank you Brother Cheng. Brother Cheng and Brother Dexuan went to Huaiyin together. It was probably because of Murong and the two, right? Speaking of which, the brothers' straight-forward nature made it difficult to deal with these yin and yang old foxes.
I really can’t learn from it. Brother Cheng could just go and deal with them. Alas, now that I think about it, it would be more pleasant to deal with the Qiang people and Zhe Fan in Luzhou. At least they would be happy and angry.
, they will not call each other brothers in person or use swords behind their backs."
Cheng Yu's face heated up, and he just said that he was alluding to the past behavior of himself and Nanya officials towards him. He was willing to complain to his face, which showed that he now regarded himself as a family, so Cheng Yu laughed.
, Tairan explained: "This is naturally different. Although the northwest vassals and you and I are both named ministers of the Song Dynasty, they actually have nothing to do with each other."
"It doesn't matter?"
"Yes, the northwest vassals are dominated by Qiang people. Among the Qiang people are the Xifeng clan, Feiting clan, Yeli clan and other tribes. Among them, the Tuoba clan and Zhelan clan who were born in the Northern Wei Dynasty are the most powerful. Whether it is Xiazhou
The Tuoba clan and the Hexi Zhe clan are both large Northern Tibetan clans. They have their own territory, govern the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, collect their own taxes, and appoint their own officials. Although they have not yet claimed the title of a country, they have ruled their land for a long time!
Even the Yang family of Linzhou, who lived in a remote area, belonged to the chaos, were mostly involved in the barbarian style, and had little knowledge of the court's orders, were regarded by the court as aliens from the Tibetan tribe. Even if they had the intention of betraying their sincerity, you would really believe it if you told the court.
Really? At the beginning, the official family's inheritance of "because of their chieftains, Xu's inheritance" was because they were unable to take care of them at that time, so they made such comforting words. The northwest vassals also imagined that our dynasty would follow the old rules of the Tang Dynasty and continue to allow them in the northwest.
It’s so arrogant and arrogant, huh, it’s really ridiculous!”
Yang Hao remembered what Zhe Ziyu said, and his expression changed slightly. Cheng Yu continued: "The last time the officials issued an order to give them official positions and make them go to Beijing to serve as officials, they must have noticed the official's thoughts.
, naturally I will no longer have a good look towards you, the prefect appointed by the imperial court. But I, an official in the Central Plains, are very different. Even though I have different political views and different affiliations, after all, we are both ministers of the Song Dynasty. Even if my bones are broken, my tendons are still connected.
How can we compare with those of the Fanyi people? Haha, not to mention that you and I are now on errands in Nanya, and we will get closer in the future. Brother Yang, please don’t worry about the slight injustices you suffered in the past.”
"Yes, what Brother Cheng taught is that brothers have been taught."
Yang Hao smiled and agreed, but sighed sadly in his heart: "Zi Yu's statement is not wrong. After all, she is the person of this era, they are the people of this era, they are the people who were born and raised here,
As a person from later generations, my philosophy is really far different from that of people of this era.
At this time, the people of China and Japan are still very friendly, but if a current person traveled to the streets of Nanjing in 1945 and talked about Sino-Japanese friendship, it would be strange if he was not beaten to death by the people. My so-called
Isn’t the national concept and national concept unbelievable and absurd to people of this era? It’s really ridiculous for me to sell the national concept and national concept of more than a thousand years later to the heroes of this era..."
"Huh? What is Brother Yang thinking?"
"Oh, haha, the lobsters in Hongze Lake are delicious, and now is the time when autumn crab paste is plump. I was thinking that if I have a few free days, I can travel to Hongze with my beautiful concubine, taste the delicious food, and have a good time."
Cheng Yu laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "In that case, I won't bother you. I will go to Huaiyin tomorrow. Now I have to go see Magistrate Yun to learn more about the situation and say goodbye."
"Farewell!" Yang Hao smiled and cupped his hands, looking at Cheng Yu's back, his mind suddenly moved: "When he goes to see Yuntianxiao, will Yuntianxiao tell him about the injustice he suffered on the Huaihe River that day?"
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh again: "Although Nanya is at odds with the Prime Minister, transporting timber and knocking over a small boat is not a major event. Nanya will not make a fuss about such a trivial matter, right? Besides, it's not a big deal.
He said, although I, Yang Hao, don't hide from trouble, I also don't look for trouble. Ziyu should have returned to the northwest now. Apart from the Central Plains,
Wawa and Yanyan, there is no one else I can care about. Since the imperial court has never regarded me as one of their own, there is no guarantee that Zhao Er, a guy who specializes in stealing other people's wives, will not have ideas about my family. This time he returned to the capital.
After everything has been arranged, I should look for an opportunity to escape. Why should I care about these things? Go, go, go home and be with my wife."
With his mind made up, Yang Hao felt calmer and more relaxed than ever before. He walked out of the magistrate's office, briskly got on the carriage driven by Lao Hei, and ordered: "Let's go back to the boat.
"
As soon as the sedan curtain was opened, he leaned on the pillow, raised his legs, squinted his eyes slightly, and hummed: "Hong~~ The waves are hitting the waves, the waves are hitting the waves, there are a pair of beautiful people on the shore of Hongze.
My dear, I will go sightseeing in the boat with my beauty in the early morning, and come back in the evening to enter the bridal chamber, enter the bridal chamber..."
