Yangzhou is prosperous and the flowing water competes with it.
There are scattered figures and numerous attics.
Li Xuan was sitting on the horse, looking at the crowded and busy Zhongjie behind her, and was speechless.
Who knows how they got out of it.
Even Qiu Zhenmu, who was wearing a Qianniu official robe, was still squeezed and staggered.
The local people in Yangzhou are still a little afraid of Qiu Zhenmu's official uniform, but those business travelers from Zhenla, Wa, Champa, Fuyu, and the tall-nosed and dark-eyed people don't care about this. They stride around the middle streets of Yangzhou. , without any scruples.
Who knows how these Western Regions people came to Yangzhou.
"Your Majesty, we should really come here by boat." Qiu Zhenmu looked at Li Xuan with a wry smile while adjusting her appearance.
Before coming, Yiguan Yicheng had told them that it would be troublesome to go to the Dudu Mansion from Zhongjie Avenue at this time, but Li Xuan still chose to come on horseback in order to see the real Yangzhou City.
The soldiers patrolling as they expected were nowhere to be seen, only the shadows of people walking shoulder to shoulder all over the street.
The prosperity of Yangzhou was beyond their expectation, with wealthy businessmen and well-dressed merchants.
Various shops including woodware, lacquerware, jadeware, copperware, paper, books, tea, silk, etc. are everywhere.
The goods produced there are not only extremely sophisticated, they are even famous overseas, and trade is flourishing all over the world.
"It doesn't matter, I have seen the splendor of Yangzhou Road for ten miles."
Li Xuan smiled calmly, but Yu Ze rolled his eyes at him angrily.
Before leaving the divine capital, the emperor told him to write a secret letter and return to the divine capital every three days.
Not only the prince, but also the emperor wanted to see this sealed seal, and even the Queen of Heaven wanted to see it.
If you are not careful, it will reach the hands of the prime ministers.
Therefore, every time Li Xuan sent a message to the capital of God, he would think twice about it, and then ask Yu Ze to make additional corrections before sending it to the capital of God.
The last secret letter was about the livelihood issues of fiber households on both sides of the canal, and now this letter is bound to be about the prosperity of Yangzhou.
Of course, there will definitely be something secretly added in the middle. Their King of Nanchang always likes to bring some private goods.
Many people do not want to see things like land annexation, population loss, and people's livelihood suffering.
"Huh?" Li Xuan looked fiercely at the street ahead, her eyes flickering as if she saw something unbelievable.
"What's wrong?" Qiu Zhenmu's right hand fiercely grasped the Thousand Ox Sword, and his whole body instantly became alert.
"I seem to have seen a familiar figure, but I might have seen it wrong." Li Xuan smiled, but in his eyes, a relatively large light spot suddenly jumped away, and then, a familiar prompt word The bar appears in front.
[Ye Wanwan, a holy girl from the Tianyin Sect, is charming, scheming, and has a perfect innate talent]
She actually made it to Yangzhou alive, and even got ahead of herself, hiding in ambush outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
It seems that my original judgment was right. Tianyin Sect still has a secret line in Luoyang.
A hidden thread that is still unknown.
There are only a few people on the street in the distance. There are only a few people on this street, which is wider than Zhongjie. However, the shops selling antique calligraphy and paintings on both sides are full of people.
In the middle of the long street, a huge mansion stands majestic and solemn. ….
Governor's Mansion of Yangzhou.
Under the huge plaque, dozens of elite soldiers wearing mountain armor and holding firearms stood on both sides.
Li Xuan turned over and dismounted. The moment he dismounted, his eyes flashed from the pawn shop opposite, and a figure quickly retracted.
Looking at the Governor's Mansion of Yangzhou in front of him, Li Xuan's face suddenly became solemn and he put all distracting thoughts behind.
On the side, Yu Ze handed the famous assassin in his hand to the concierge. The concierge took it, bowed slightly, and immediately ran towards the mansion quickly.
The Governor-General of Yangzhou has always been given to the deceased princes, or given to the deceased ministers.
The last person who was posthumously awarded the title of Grand Governor of Yangzhou was Gaoyang County Duke Xu Jingzong. Before that,
It is a British public figure.
He is the governor-general of Yangzhou and concurrently serves as the governor of Yangzhou, ranking third in rank.
He is the same as the governor of Shangzhou and the minister of Jiushi Temple.
What's more, in the important place of Yangzhou, the position of chief historian is extremely important, let alone the Dou family.
Suddenly, the central door of the Governor's Mansion opened.
A middle-aged official wearing a dark crimson official robe, a silver fish bag at his waist, and a black hat walked out quickly, followed by more than a dozen subordinate officials.
The visitor bowed respectfully to Li Xuan and said, "Sima Changyu, the Governor of Yangzhou, has met the Prince of Nanchang."
"I have met the Prince of Nanchang!" More than a dozen people bowed and saluted at the same time.
"Everyone, hurry up and get up. I am just visiting for a private visit, why do you have such a battle?" Li Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and helped Sima Changyu up.
The chief of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, Shi, was an official of the third rank, and the Sima of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, who was second only to him, was an official of the fourth rank.
If Dou Xuande personally opened the middle door to greet him, Li Xuan might have jumped up, turned around and left.
He was not an imperial envoy delivering orders, so why should he be welcomed personally by Shi Kaizhong, the governor-general of Yangzhou?
Is it because Xian Yushi is too leisurely?
"Your Majesty, please, Chang Shi is already waiting in the middle hall." Sima Changyu immediately moved out of the way. Li Xuan nodded and took the lead.
When he was in Luoyang, Li Xuan could easily meet third-grade prostitutes and prime ministers' children when he went out, but in Yangzhou, the only person he really feared was Dou Xuande.
The Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion occupies a vast area.
Smoked willows paint the bridge, wind curtains and green curtains, water bridges pass by, and people's figures are scattered here and there.
"This was originally the Wu Palace of King Wu Li Zitong. Later, after it was conquered by the Hejian County Prince, it was used as the Yangzhou Governor's Palace." Sima Changyu introduced the origin of the Yangzhou Governor's Palace to Li Xuan.
At that time, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, with the assistance of Li Jing, conquered Bashu, captured Zhu Can, defeated Xiaoliang, defeated Fu Gongyou, and conquered the southeast, establishing unparalleled achievements.
It's a pity that Li Jing's reputation was too high, and as a member of the clan, Li Xiaogong had difficulty fulfilling his ambitions. In his later years, he even indulged in drinking and sex, and died of a sudden illness.
However, it is better than being involved in Fang Yiai's rebellion like Jiangxia County Prince Li Daozong and dying of illness in exile.
After crossing the tall threshold and entering the second courtyard, a magnificent government office appeared in front of Li Xuan. A figure stood at the door of the government office's central hall, wearing a purple robe, with a hard face and a cold expression.
"Little Li Xuan, I have met Dou Weng." Li Xuan bowed her hands to Dou Xuande respectfully.
Although Dou Xuande's title is only that of a Julu County boy, he is Li Zhi's cousin and the same generation as Li Xuan in terms of seniority. ….
But he is now over sixty years old, and the head of the Yangzhou Governor's Office, Shi, holds the most powerful position, so it is appropriate for Li Xuan to walk first and salute.
Dou Xuande stretched out his hand to help Li Xuan, and his expression suddenly became much gentler: "The King of Nanchang is handsome and handsome. No wonder Huaizhen wrote that the King of Nanchang is well respected by the prince."
"Brother Huaizhen is now the prince of Qianniu, and has a bright future, which is unparalleled by Xiao Wang." Li Xuan smiled and took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Dou Xuande, saying: "This is written by Uncle Han Wang to Dou Weng Uncle Wang knew that the boy was passing through Yangzhou, so he asked the boy to deliver the letter."
Dou Xuande glanced at Li Xuan with a half-smile, then took the letter and said, "It is said that the King of Nanchang has many friends in the capital. You are not deceiving me!"
Dou Huaizhen, son of Dou Xuande, is now crown prince Qianniu. Li Xuan asked him to write a letter in advance because he was coming to Yangzhou.
"No, the boy is just being prepared for things." Li Xuan glanced sideways behind him, and many officials from the Governor's Mansion were looking at them.
Dou Xuande immediately understood Li Xuan's intention and shouted to the subordinates behind him: "Lang Xing stays, and everyone else returns to their duties."
"Here!" Many officials in the Governor's Mansion immediately bowed and retreated.
"King of Nanchang, please come." Dou Xuande extended his hand to invite Li Xuan into the central hall, and at the same time asked, "I wonder if Liu Gong is in good health."
"Old Yue is in good health. I miss Dou Weng." Li Xuan followed Dou Xuande and said as he walked: "Old Yue will enter the palace every day before Yin hour.
North Korea, but he is too old after all, and coupled with the war in Baekje and Goryeo in the early years, he has many old wounds, which is unbearable. "
"As the prime minister, Mr. Liu needs to take care of himself. King Nanchang, please sit down." Dou Xuande stretched out his hand and pointed to the chair on the right side of the table in the middle hall.
Li Xuan quickly declined: "How dare you?"
After saying that, Li Xuan sat down at the bottom, and then looked at Dou Xuande who was sitting down and said: "Your Highness, the prince, also asked the little king to say hello to Dou Weng, and the Prime Minister, Dou Weng, don't know about that, Dou Weng. The family can make decisions."
Dou Xuande's expression changed slightly. Of course he knew what Li Xuan was talking about.
"The elders have the final say in family affairs." Dou Xuande pushed him out easily. The Dou family is also a large family, divided into Chang'an, Pingling, Pingyang, Qingyang, Fengxian and other houses. The real decision-maker is not Dou Xuande. Moreover, it is not up to them to decide who to choose as the Prime Minister.
It was Empress Wu who really made the decision.
Dou Xuande's light handling of this matter also showed his attitude when Li Xuan came to Yangzhou for a visit. .
