The weather in Hangzhou is changeable. By evening, it was already drizzling.
The carriage walked on the bluestone of the street, making crisp sounds.
Li Xuan looked out through the car curtains. Throughout Hangzhou, countless pavilions and pavilions stood in the hazy mist and rain, which was particularly poetic and picturesque.
[Zong Ling, the true immortal Taoist woman, the innate true seed state of great perfection]
[Xin Jian, the master of Wushengdao Mountain South Hall, the Great Perfection of the Innate True Seed Realm]
These two entries started in the morning and have been followed until now.
No one from the Tianyin Sect came forward, but other sects from the Demon Sect were wandering in front of Li Xuan.
This makes it difficult for Li Xuan to take action. This is Hangzhou, and who knows how many people are secretly watching his every move.
Observe him, record him, study all his movements.
The killer of the Wusheng Dao and the Taoist girl of the True Immortal Dao are lurking in the dark and plotting against each other.
It's a pity that this is not Wuzhou, otherwise Li Xuan would have mobilized a large team of troops to encircle and suppress them.
This is Hangzhou. If you want to kill them, you have to choose a place with few people and then send them to hell.
Withdrawing her gaze, Li Xuan lowered her head and looked at the secret file in her hand.
The Qianniu guards under Qiu Zhenmu had only been out for half a day, but they had already found out many things about Mr. Qi.
A native of Hangzhou, this Master Qi is actually a native of Hangzhou.
His so-called aunt was the concubine of Yuan Jiazuo, the governor of Hangzhou.
Yuan Jiazuo is a native of Youzhou and was born in Hebei.
He was a Jinshi during the Zhenguan period and was transferred to Hangzhou three years ago to serve as the governor of Hangzhou.
Yuan Jiazuo was an upright man, so he left his wife to support her mother in her hometown in Youzhou, and he came to Hangzhou with his scholar and master to work.
But perhaps because of his loneliness, or perhaps because of the "good intention" of the Hangzhou aristocratic family, Yuan Jiazuo married this Qi woman as his concubine, and incidentally accepted the "filial piety" of many aristocratic families in Hangzhou.
Perhaps because of this, Yuan Governor's governance in Hangzhou began to go smoothly.
Yuan Jiazuo was one of the few governors Li Xuan had encountered over the years who could truly love his people like his own son.
When he took office, he dredged rivers, taught farmers and mulberry trees, conducted public trials and prisons, attracted foreign businessmen, and suppressed wealthy families.
Remarkable political achievements.
How could such a governor create a useless guy like Mr. Qi?
Closing the secret file in her hand, Li Xuan pondered in her heart, whether this was done deliberately or out of favor.
Thinking about what Mr. Qi and Hu Yu did today, we can confirm that the conflicts between these aristocratic families in Hangzhou and this Yuan Governor have once again amplified after many years of honeymoon period.
Li Xuan's appearance now has become a trump card to break this balance deadlock.
"Your Majesty, the governor's office has arrived!" Qiu Zhenmu's voice sounded in front of the car.
Li Xuan tidied up briefly, then opened the car curtain and walked out.
An oil-paper umbrella was held above the head, and lanterns had been hung up in the Hangzhou Governor's Mansion under the gloomy weather.
Hangzhou Governor Shi Huyu was waiting at the door. When he saw Li Xuan appear, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"I've seen the prince, please, prince!" Hu Yu held an umbrella in his hand and took the lead in leading the way.
Hangzhou Governor's Mansion occupies a vast area. As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will see a huge empty courtyard. When Li Xuan stepped in, the official mansions on both sides were already empty.
"I heard that Yuan Changshi was in power in Hangzhou and his officials were in charge of the Ming Dynasty. Officials in Hangzhou rarely arrived late or left early, and they didn't have to work extra hours. Is this possible?" Li Xuan turned around and said this suddenly.
Hu Yu nodded and said, "This is true. The governor is considerate of us. Sometimes we can go home as long as we finish our official duties. However, there must be no mistakes in this official work. Otherwise, we will immediately reprimand you. In serious cases, you will be directly punished." He was dismissed from office, so no one dared to show any signs of neglect."
"Yuan Jishi is really a wise man!" Li Xuan exclaimed. Yuan Jiazuo is one of the few people in the world who can understand the word efficiency in this era.
figure.
Li Xuan didn't expect that she would meet this No. 1 person in Hangzhou.
In the courtyard of the backyard, the lights are bright, but only bright, not deliberately to the point of being brightly lit.
An old man in his fifties, wearing a black linen robe, with a thin build, a short straight beard, a wrinkled face and sunken eyes, stood at the door of the nave, looking at the wind and rain outside, also waiting for Li Xuan.
From a distance, Yuan Jiazuo immediately became solemn when he saw Li Xuan arriving.
Li Xuan came to the door and first raised her hand to Yuan Jiazuo: "Young man Li Xuan, I have met Yuan Jishi."
"I have met the Prince of Nanchang." Yuan Jiazuo returned the gift politely, then extended his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please!"
"Yuan Weng, please!" Li Xuan followed Yuan Jiazuo and walked into the central hall.
In the middle hall, there is only an old round table. On the table are a plate of fish, a plate of edamame, a plate of bamboo shoots, and a pot of old wine.
Quite frugal, even a little too much.
"I have long heard that the governor is diligent and thrifty. I am really ashamed to see Xuan today." Li Xuan sincerely handed over to Yuan Jiazuo.
Although Qiu Zhenmu's men had previously launched an investigation into Mr. Qi, they also investigated the reputation of Yuan Jiazuo, the governor of Hangzhou.
Not only is he upright and loving to the people, he is also diligent, honest and fair.
The people of Hangzhou are now about to put Qingtian's name on his forehead.
Looking at Yuan Jiazuo's slightly worn black robe, Li Xuan sighed in her heart, if this person is not a female thief who commits great evil, then she is a truly honest official who is rare in the world.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat." Yuan Jiazuo waited for Li Xuan to sit down first, then sat down beside him, and then said softly: "A few days ago, I heard about the poem that Your Majesty wrote when he was in Yangzhou. , The eagle strikes the sky, who doesn't know, the young hero is admirable."
Yuan Jiazuo spoke very slowly, as if he was carefully considering every word, which made Li Xuan couldn't help but concentrate. It's not easy to deal with such a person!
"To be honest with Yuan Weng, although the boy made it at that time, it was actually considered over and over again in the past few days before it finally took shape." At this point, Li Xuan sighed with emotion and said: "From the capital of God , to Yangzhou, and then to Hangzhou, the boy felt that the wind and rain were coming suddenly, and if he didn't pay attention, he would be in danger of capsizing..."
"I understand that the prince is worried that the Tianyin Sect's power will endanger the stability of the entire Jiangnan. I understand this." Yuan Jiazuo nodded, but then chuckled and said, "People like this are just women doing dangerous things. They are just villains, everything they do is done in the dark, and it is difficult to see the light of day. What they do mostly depends on luck, but if there is disharmony, they will be defeated immediately."
"Yuan Weng is thorough." Li Xuan lamented, aren't the people in the Tianyin Sect just like rats hiding in the dark sewers?
They don't dare to see the light of day at all, but they have to do it forcefully, so they don't see any chance. Maybe it's not uncommon for them to kill each other in the end.
The key is that Yuan Jiazuo's Qingming rule in Hangzhou almost destroyed the foundation of the Tianyin Sect's uprising.
Even if they wanted to do it by force, it would be difficult for them to reach the level of Muzhou and Wuzhou.
"However, it should be noted that Yuan Weng is the pillar of Hangzhou. If the Tianyin rebels attack Yuan Weng, the situation will immediately be in danger of overturning." Li Xuan sat there and reminded her seriously.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't leave the governor's compound during this period of time. They won't directly enter the governor's compound. If that happens, I'm afraid it won't be the governor's mansion." Even the entire city of Hangzhou will fall into the hands of those people. At that time, it won't matter whether they attack the governor's mansion or not.".z.br>
Yuan Jiazuo spoke calmly. The situation in Hangzhou was now in danger, and he recognized it directly.
"Yuan Weng's heroic spirit is admired by the little king." After saying that, Li Xuan took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, and said at the same time: "This is a letter written by the prince, the supervisor of the palace, when this junior left the capital. Now, Judging from Yuan Weng's arrogance, I think the boy did a little bad."
"It's okay." Yuan Jiazuo waved his hands with a smile and said, "Your Majesty has done everything right. I haven't received a letter from my old friend in many years."
, Wang Dezhen was able to take a step further from the Weiwei Temple Minister and be promoted to the Palace Supervisor. I am also quite grateful. "
Yuan Jiazuo and Wang Dezhen, the former minister of Weiwei Temple, were of the same age. One was the governor of Shangzhou and the other was the supervisor of the palace. They were not much different.
"As for the matter in Hangzhou, Yuan Weng is here, so I don't need to have any wild ideas. However, when I met your nephew Mr. Qi today, I always felt that there were some secretly instigating people around him. What happened today is quite strange." Li Xuan He changed his tone and spoke about today's events lightly.
It was not as easy as imagined for Hu Yu and others to borrow Li Xuan's sword.
Hearing what Li Xuan said, Yuan Jiazuo was also a little surprised. He then nodded secretly and said, "He also told me the reasons behind this incident. He said that he listened to a friend's words and went to the dock. I hope you will forgive me for those reckless actions."
"There is nothing here, Xiao Wang, it's just..." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "Please Yuan Weng forgive me for taking the liberty, and ask the people around my nephew, Mr. Qi, to inquire carefully. If at other times, maybe There is no need to be so careful, but now, the Tianyin rebels are coming, and they will not let go of any opportunity they can seize, especially the Jiaofang Division..."
After speaking, Li Xuan lowered her head and looked at the wine glass in front of her.
The wine is flowing, asking questions about people's hearts.
Yuan Jiazuo nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said in agreement: "My lord is very concerned. After I am appointed, I will immediately order people to close all the teachings in the city, and order my officials to strictly teach the children at home, at least in this month. During this time, no one will be allowed to act recklessly, and once verified, they will be dealt with strictly."
Li Xuan was slightly surprised that Yuan Jiazuo could completely understand the hidden meaning in his words, so he simply said directly: "Not only the Jiaofang Division, but also many people gathering places in the city, please ask Yuan Weng to send people to strictly examine , especially where there are a large number of weapons and equipment, you need to be more careful.”
"I never thought that the prince would think of this." Yuan Jiazuo looked at Li Xuan in surprise, and then said: "The prince is unaware of this. Regarding this matter, an official document has been sent from the Yuezhou Governor's Mansion, and I have also been here for a long time. It was put under strict scrutiny half a month ago.”
The Tianyin Sect has always had a huge influence in the land of romance.
Officials, as well as officials' children, will fall into the trap if they are not careful.
Therefore, to combat the Tianyin Sect, we must start from many aspects at the same time.
"Besides, Mr. Qi will inevitably offend some villains when he acts in Hangzhou. I hope Yuan Weng will be more careful." After Li Xuan finished speaking, his breathing almost stopped.
The deepest temptation always occurs when you least expect it.
"It doesn't matter. He still has some good players around him. Don't worry about the little things." Yuan Jiazuo waved his hand easily. However, Li Xuan opposite him felt as if he had fallen into a cold pool, but he quickly reacted.
"Yuan Weng is wise, and with Yuan Weng's ability, there will be no omissions. In this way, Master Qi will be safe, and Hangzhou will be safe. But I have some requests, and I hope Yuan Weng can agree." Li Xuan sincerely handed over to Yuan Jiazuo. .
"Your Majesty, please speak." Yuan Jiazuo became serious. He would not casually agree to Li Xuan's request.
Hangzhou is also experiencing wind and rain now. If there is a slight loophole, it is very likely that the embankment of a thousand miles will be destroyed by an ant nest.
"Xiao Wang plans to recruit a group of Wuzhou sailors in Hangzhou, and asks the Hangzhou Navy Captain to send people for training. In addition, he also needs to purchase a batch of ordnance... There are not many soldiers in Wuzhou, so Xiao Wang needs to prepare in advance." Li Xuan was a little worried. Embarrassingly he bowed his hand.
"It doesn't matter. As for the navy, the prince can discuss it with Captain Ji. Wuzhou sailors can also recruit on their own. After all, if something happens to Wuzhou, they may not be safe in Hangzhou." After a pause, Yuan Jiazuo said: "As for the I don’t know how many weapons the prince wants to recruit. If there are not many, the Hangzhou Governor’s Office will give them to the prince."
"Young Weng Yuan, you're welcome!" Li Xuan handed over his hand and said, "Xiao Wang is not lying. In fact, Xiao Wang only plans to recruit thirty or fifty people, and the fewer the better... the soldiers should not be more numerous, but better. To deal with the Tianyin Sect, Those rebels and elite soldiers are more able to display their combat power."
"Indeed, soldiers are not more numerous but more skilled. Now the prince can be said to have mastered the three flavors. It seems that this time, with the prince here, I can
The officials no longer have to worry about the traitors coming from Dongyang to kill the generals. "The smile on Yuan Jiazuo's face began to fade, but his eyes really relaxed a lot.
Li Xuan sat aside and smiled lightly. None of the governors in Jiangnan were easy to mess with.
Wen Fuzhi, Manager Wen, are you really ready?
