This time, for the sake of Mrs. Fan, I softened my heart a little. Next time, I would like to show this old fox some color. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong looked at Fan Jian who was slumped on the chair, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. You old fox wants to use Fan Jian to contain yourself or express something, but you just can't let him do what he wants.
However, looking at Fan Jian's pale face at this time, I remembered that he had been seriously injured for himself, and he almost failed to save his life. Even though Huang Qiong was cold-blooded now, she couldn't help but feel a trace of apology in her heart. It reminds me of the past between the two of them. Now this former right-hand man has become a pawn in the battle between himself and his grandfather. Huang Qiong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
It's just that I feel a little sorry for Fan Jian in my heart. But Huang Qiong knew that it was really for his own good that he transferred Fan Jian away from him. Otherwise, if he continues to stay by his side and become a pawn in the fight between himself and his grandfather, Fan Jian may be hurt even more in the future. Thinking of this, even though he felt a little reluctant to give up, Huang Qiong still gritted his teeth and said: "You can't stay with me any longer."
After Huang Qiong said this, Fan Jian, who had been lying on the chair before, was stunned. He wanted to explain something, but was stopped by Huang Qiong. Looking at Fan Jian, who was already pale after hearing his words, his face became even paler. Huang Qiong sighed and said: "If you continue to stay with me, it will be detrimental to you and me. Brother Fan , you and I hit it off right away, and I don’t want to hurt you.”
"You have experienced a lot of government affairs by following me. And although you are a bit loose-tempered, you are extremely talented. It is really a pity to only stay with me as an aide. Ningxia Mansion is united. The county is still short of a magistrate. You clean it up and take office in three days. Other things will be figured out when you calm down completely. "
Fan Jian, who knew Huang Qiong's character, immediately turned pale after hearing Huang Qiong's decision and knowing that even though this master was young, it was difficult to change once he made up his mind. Looking at Fan Jian who looked like a dead man, Huang Qiong couldn't bear it and sighed softly: "If you can restore Tongxin County's vitality within three years, I will transfer you back to the capital."
But Huang Qiong's relief was obviously in vain. After hearing Huang Qiong's decision, Fan Jian, who was a little distracted, just nodded numbly. Just when Fan Jian turned around and was about to leave, Huang Qiong's voice came from behind: "Brother Fan, you are a bit lazy, but you are talented. Staying with me will not broaden your horizons, and you will also be a bit inferior to your talents." ”
"In the same way, if you stay with me, you will never be able to get rid of the Fan family. If you keep spinning in that small circle, you will never be able to get out, and the pattern will always be limited. If you really get out, what will happen to you? Your mind and structure are beneficial. Go ahead and do it well. I believe that with your ability, you can do anything well. Three years later, I will be waiting for you in the capital."
"However, if you really want to break out of this circle and completely get rid of the Fan family's ties to you. Then don't ask for any help from the Fan family in these three years. And don't let inertia completely destroy you. . Those who can really achieve great things must have enough vision and structure. Promise me, in these three years, you will only rely on yourself to govern Tongxin so that no one will pick up the lost items on the road and never close the door at night. "
We are all smart people. If Fan Jian, who was a little confused and at a loss because he just heard Huang Qiong's decision, did not listen to Huang Qiong's words, let alone Huang Qiong's words that he would be transferred to him in three years. The meaning in Hui Jing dialect. But Fan Jian, who was now more awake, understood the meaning of Huang Qiong's words. He changed the look of despair on his face, bowed deeply and strode away.
But even though he had made up his mind, he would at least temporarily transfer Fan Jian away from him. But Huang Qiong, who was still worried about this guy's weak body, not only ordered Dr. Li to check his body carefully before he left, but also got him a batch of supplements. He also personally selected several party girls for him from among the family members of the party leaders and family members who were still being held captive, to serve and take care of him with him.
Because the entire Tongxin County Government Office is currently deserted. He also carefully selected a group of government officials for him from among the Longyou local guards led by Du She. At the same time, he also arranged for Longyou to appease the envoy and assigned him all his subordinate officials as quickly as possible. What Huang Qiong did was almost like helping the horse to get a ride. Faced with Huang Qiong's kindness, Fan Jian was a little embarrassed.
Within a month, Huang Qiong sent Fan Jian away one after another to take office with Tongxin. Because the rebellion in Ningxia Mansion has been put down and the situation has been completely stabilized, He Yuanfeng, who was transferred back to Chang'an, and the border troops who retreated to their original garrison. Even Du She, who reorganized the Ningxia Prefecture's guards, led his troops to evacuate Ningxia Prefecture and return to Lintao Prefecture, where Long Youzhi was located, because of the arrival of the new Ningxia military envoy.
Of the original tens of thousands of troops in Ningxia Prefecture, only the 3,000 imperial guards led by Huang Qiong were left, plus Zhou Zhiyuan, who was appointed by Huang Qiong to be transferred from the border army to Ningxia's military envoy, and the reorganized 1,500 guard troops. Originally, the number of Ningxia Prefecture Guards was one thousand. In view of the Dangxiang rebellion, Huang Qiong specially expanded the number to 1,500, and the additional 500 were horse troops.
During this period, Huang Qiong received several imperial edicts from the old man in succession. In the imperial edict, although the old man approved the transfer of Ningxia government to Lingzhou, he also reprimanded Huang Qiong. In addition to expressing dissatisfaction with the handling of the Fan family matter. The old man told him that he was the ambassador of Longyou and Shaanxi, not the ambassador of Ningxia. It is not appropriate to stay in Lingzhou, so he should be transferred to Chang'an as soon as possible.
Chang'an is the accompanying capital, and there are also the Privy Council, the Palace Department, the Four Ministries, the Yushitai and other departments left behind, which is more appropriate for handling the northwest government affairs. The last imperial edict was that the old man asked him to go to the Changling Tomb of Taizu on behalf of the old man in mid-November. Since the old man ascended the throne, except for the first few years when the Huaiyang County Prince took power and the subsequent relationship with the court, he has not been personally involved in this matter.
Since the throne was firmly established, the old man has led the princes over ten years old who have not yet entered the vassal domain, as well as the concubines who have concubines, to worship in person every autumn. Because the old man came to Xijing not simply to worship Emperor Taizu. They also need to meet with the leaders of the Tubo and Uighur tribes within them. Therefore, every autumn, the old man would stay in Xijing for more than a month, and did not return to the capital until last winter.
Even occasionally, for a few years, I have to spend the New Year in Xijing before returning to Beijing. Over the years, the only exception was last year's partial turmoil in the DPRK caused by the loss of several sons and the rebellion of the second son, so I did not attend the ceremony in person. Even so, the Duke and the Minister of Rites were sent to Xijing to worship Taizu's mausoleum. The rewards given to the Tubo and Uighur tribes were also doubled.
Putting down the old man's imperial edict, Huang Qiong frowned slightly. It seems that the old man is still somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that he has been stranded in Lingzhou for three full months. Especially when the rebellion in Ningxia Mansion has been put down, he still stays in Lingzhou. The old man's dissatisfaction may have reached a certain level, otherwise he would not have issued these imperial edicts in succession.
It is now less than half a month away from November. In other words, if he followed the old man's request, he would now set off to return to Xijing. As a result, my original plan to patrol Longyou in the past few days may be completely pushed back. But you still have a chance, are you going to inspect Longyou? After I have finished my sacrifices to the Taizu Mausoleum, I am afraid that the imperial edict to return to the capital will be issued.
Although Huang Qiong had a headache regarding these imperial edicts from the old man, she could only obey the old man's wishes. Some time ago, during the counter-insurgency war, not only did he personally come to Huanzhou to take charge, but he also went to the front line to participate in the battle. He had been severely reprimanded several times by the old man who originally asked him to stay in Xijing. He was criticized for not taking such a huge risk and going to the front line to supervise the battle.
Therefore, this is actually an imperial edict to return to Xijing. Huang Qiong had no intention of making the old man angry again. Thinking that the major events in Ningxia Mansion have basically been settled now, there is no problem with Zhang Qian's ability to handle the remaining unfinished matters. Huang Qiong also knew that it was indeed time for him to leave. Otherwise, I would sit here, let alone Zhang Qian, the prefect.
I'm afraid that all the officials in Longyou are a little trembling and feeling uncomfortable. It would also be a relief for them to leave early. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong sighed and immediately ordered to pack his bags and set off back to Xijing the day after tomorrow. As for the inspection of Longyou, we can only wait until the sacrifices are completed at Taizu's Mausoleum and see what the old man's subsequent intentions are.
If there is really no chance this time, we can only wait for next time. In fact, after receiving the imperial edict, Huang Qiong felt somewhat mixed in her heart, and now she really misses her wife and children at home. Especially a month ago, Duan Jin gave birth to a son, and he couldn't even be with her. Looking at what the old man has arranged for himself now, I'm afraid he won't be able to fulfill his promise.
Duan Jin seems to be strong and independent, but Huang Qiong is very clear about his true nature. Even though she was born into a noble family, her martial arts skills were also the highest among the girls around her. But in fact, deep down, she is still a little woman, and she is still very dependent on herself. During the delivery, she was not able to be with her, and she missed the baby's full moon, so she might have felt sad.
Thinking of his wife and children at home, Huang Qiong sighed softly. Then he thought of the four party women again, and Huang Qiong had a headache again. That day, the news that he had executed the remaining men of the Tuoba family reached the four women. Because the four girls used their tribe as a threat, they did not do anything to seek death. But he always treats his husband-killing enemy coldly.
In the boudoir, he looked like a wooden man. Just let yourself play with it, without any response. It felt like I was facing a few pieces of wood, with no interest at all. Although he still provides them with delicious food and drinks, he basically doesn't go to their place. Now that he is leaving, how to arrange the placement of these four women has become his biggest headache.
Staying in Lingzhou, after getting along with each other these days, I am still a little reluctant to let go. Taking them away, he was not interested at all when thinking about how these women looked now. After hesitating for a while, Huang Qiong finally decided to ask those women what they thought. If you are willing to follow, you can take it away yourself. At the worst, you can raise it. If you want to stay, just pay some money and silk.
As for the other two, it is easier to deal with them than these four women. They can just take them away together. Thinking of this, Huang Qiong left the study and came to the yard where the four girls lived. After seeing Huang Qiong arriving, the four girls also bowed politely. But when he saluted, his face was cold. He didn't even look at Huang Qiong.
