Standing on the Bayong Tower, which is several feet high, Li Xuan pressed the handrail and looked far into the distance.
In front of you is the quiet Wujiang River, the blue sky, and the green mountains.
Raising your head slightly, you will see a high pavilion with double eaves and a hilly roof. The wings are raised, and the stone swallows are about to fly.
His mood suddenly brightened.
Taking a gentle breath, Li Xuan turned around suddenly.
The golden robe with black background, the colorful silver headband, and the cold and upright figure make him look very noble.
With a sneer on his face, Li Xuan slowly walked into the main pavilion of Ba Yong Tower.
When he looked up, he saw several guards in different clothes rushing up from downstairs, quickly rushing to his master's side to inform them of what was happening outside.
The fighting that took place on the long street in the distance could not be hidden from these masters who were supported by various families.
What's more, the aristocratic families have their own way of doing things, and the surrounding long streets are under the surveillance of countless light and dark sentries.
Seeing Li Xuan walking in, the heads of the aristocratic families immediately waved their men to leave. Then they quickly stood up and raised their hands to Li Xuan at the same time: "I have met the prince of Nanchang and the prince Qianqiu!"
"Without courtesy, please take a seat." Li Xuan extended her hand with a gentle expression, and then took the lead to sit down in full view of everyone.
Then everyone else followed and sat down in their seats.
Watching everyone sit down, Li Xuan did not speak directly.
He first looked at everyone with a gentle but powerful look, then nodded slightly and said solemnly: "You must have received the message that there is an assassin intending to commit murder just two streets away from here. Two people , have all been taken down, and if nothing else happens, they are the murderers who assassinated Governor Wang two months ago."
"Ah!" The faces of everyone present were suddenly stunned, and then there was an uproar.
You know, those two assassins directly assassinated the assassin Wang Fanglin in full view of the public two months ago.
In the end, Wang Fanglin was seriously injured and dying, Chief Shi Li Ai died on the spot, and countless soldiers and officials suffered casualties. But in the end, the two extremely brutal assassins escaped the pursuit of the officers and soldiers.
In the past two months, officers and soldiers made several searches, but found nothing, not even a trace or clue.
But today, they all died, all of a sudden.
Everyone found it hard to accept it for a moment, and in the uproar, they all looked at Li Xuan carefully.
When he looked up, he realized that Li Xuan was looking at everyone with a half-smile.
There was a deep coldness in his eyes, which seemed to engulf everyone.
The conversations among the people present gradually stopped under the cold eyes.
Li Xuan gently knocked on the table in front of her and said word by word: "Those two people have been executed now. No matter what disputes they had behind them, it is now over.
I have asked people to pull carts through the streets all night long to tell the people of Wuzhou that with the concerted efforts of me and everyone else, the assassin who killed the king has been executed.
From now on, the people can be worry-free, you can be worry-free, and I, too, can be worry-free. "
Li Xuan's last words were spoken very lowly.
His eyes swept across the faces of Shen Tuo, Teng Yu, Qian Zhe and others, and when he saw their expressions gradually changing from surprise to horror, he nodded with satisfaction.
Behind the assassination of Wang Fanglin was the joint effort of the Wuzhou family and the Tianyin Sect.
But now, with the Tianyin Sect uprising imminent, Li Xuan can only choose to suppress the disputes behind her for the time being.
However, it is still necessary to take a closer look at these Wuzhou aristocratic families.
"Everyone." Li Xuan's face suddenly became serious, and he said with cold eyes: "I have been ordered by the Saint Queen of Heaven and the central ministers to come to Wuzhou to serve as a special agent, assist the governor, determine the state affairs, and sort out the affairs of the state. Although it is my responsibility to pay taxes and finally transport the divine capital, I also need your full help."
"You will live up to your responsibilities as an official." Everyone present immediately stood up, bowed their hands in salute, and looked solemn.
Li Xuan smiled softly, waved her hand, and motioned for everyone to sit down, and said at the same time: "Everyone, please sit down. This king is not reading an imperial edict. His Majesty and the Queen are just giving these words to me, so you don't have to mind. "
"Don't you dare!" Shen Tuo, Zhang Yi, and everyone behind them stood up at the same time, bowing their hands respectfully.
Although the southeast is prosperous, it is far from the center.
Even if there are people serving in the central government, their powers and responsibilities cannot be compared with those of the prime ministers.
Not to mention, Wuzhou is also not an important town in the southeast.
Compared with Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yuezhou, Wuzhou can only be regarded as a slightly inferior state.
"Okay, let's not talk about the center." Li Xuan waved her hand, then looked at Shen Tuo on one side, and said gently: "Old Shen, please take a seat. When I passed by Changzhou before, thanks to Governor Shen's introduction to Wuzhou in detail, Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to achieve anything in just a few days. I would like to thank Governor Shen and Mr. Shen for taking care of me."
"I don't dare, I'm ashamed of myself." Shen Tuo's expression changed slightly and he quickly handed over his hand again.
In panic, Shen Tuo glanced at the others present from the corner of his eyes, especially Teng Yu and Qian Zhe.
The two of them looked at him differently.
The Shen family is the largest family in the local area and the most powerful in the officialdom. It is the only family in the local dynasty that has a serving governor.
When Li Xuan first came to Wuzhou, he took out a letter written by Shen Qian, the governor of Changzhou, and Shen Tuo took it without any hesitation.
The Shen family has a close relationship with the King of Nanchang, and everyone present has seen it before.
Does this mean that everything the King of Nanchang has done in Wuzhou in the past few days, whether it is checking the soldiers, issuing bans and recruitment orders, has the support of the Shen family behind him.
There is also the sudden assassination incident today. They suddenly failed in the assassination and were killed. Is it also related to the Shen family?
At this moment, more doubts about the assassination appeared in everyone's minds.
The King of Nanchang is clearly in the Bayong Tower, so why would those assassins go to other places to assassinate him?
The place was wrong and the time was wrong.
Who is being deceived here, and who is being deceived.
Teng Yu and Qian Zhe looked at Shen Tuo with cold eyes.
Shen Tuo saw everything in front of his eyes, but felt a little bitter in his heart.
He is also an old fox. Of course he knows what these people are thinking.
But he didn't expect that King Nanchang would lead him into the trap with just a few words.
Now he already understands that the reason why King Nanchang returned Shen Qian's letter so easily that day at the city gate was for today.
What a plan!
"Shen Weng, please sit down!" Li Xuan stretched out his hand to signal Shen Tuo to sit down, and then his eyes turned to Teng Yu again: "Teng Jiaoyu!"
"I'm here!" Teng Yu immediately bowed his hands in salute with a solemn look on his face.
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "When I received the order to serve in Wuzhou, I was already in Luoyang and had no time to rush to Chang'an. However, I still wrote a letter asking someone to bring Tengji wine to the Imperial Academy. Jiu also wrote a reply very politely and asked me to forward it to you."
As she said that, Li Xuan turned her head and looked aside.
Li Zhu, wearing a black patternless robe, walked out from one side, holding a letter in his hand, and walked step by step to Teng Yu.
Teng Yu didn't even need to open it to read. Just by looking at the handwriting on it, he knew it was definitely written by his brother.
Teng Yu opened the letter with a cautious expression. The content of the letter was very simple. He asked the Teng family to try their best to assist the King of Nanchang in handling the affairs of Wuzhou and not to neglect this.
If you just look at this letter, it is just a simple official letter, but Teng Yu's eyes glanced at the wary looks on the other people's faces, and he immediately knew that the others had misunderstood.
Raising his head and looking at Li Xuan, Teng Yu's expression remained unchanged, and Zhuang Su held his hand in his hand: "Xia Guan will be in Dingyou in Wuzhou for one more year. As long as the prince has a destiny, I will try my best to help you."
Li Xuan smiled and nodded, and said gently: "I still have some friendship with Pei Gong, the governor of Xuanzhou. When did Teng Jiaoyu want to return to Xuanzhou? Tell me, although my face is useless, but It is still possible to write a letter to Mr. Pei."
Li Xuan had a good relationship with the Pei family, and he was the one who could solve the murder case of Luoyang County Lieutenant Pei Qizhe.
Not to mention, he personally saved Pei Sitong.
The relationship with Li Hong's Crown Princess Pei is also pretty good.
I wrote a letter to Pei Huanzhi, the governor of Xuanzhou, and asked him to help me with a little help.
Teng Yu didn't care how important Li Xuan was to Pei Huanzhi, but his expression became solemn.
What he was really afraid of was Li Xuan's style of doing everything in his head and calculating everything to the core.
Silently, your way forward and your retreat have been completely controlled by him.
"If necessary, I will definitely trouble the prince." Teng Yu handed himself over with an extremely solemn word.
He has no choice.
Li Xuan stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Teng Jiaoyu, please sit down."
Teng Yu sat down, and Li Xuan's eyes slowly fell on Qian Zhe.
Qian Zhe quickly bowed and said, "Qian is greedy and has done everything wrong. I hope the prince can forgive me."
Li Xuan smiled and shook her head, and said casually: "The Qian family is a rich family after all, and it is also the family of the wife of Brother Yue Wang. How can I be so careless about it?"
"Don't dare, don't dare." Qian Zhe quickly bowed in fear.
Although it is said that his sister was adopted by the King of Yue as a side concubine, a side concubine is a side concubine. She is not even comparable to a side concubine. How can she be said to be the wife of the Yue King?
There is only one real wife family of the King of Yue, and that is the family of the head wife of King Li Zhen of Yue.
In any case, the Qian family cannot live up to this title.
"No matter what, the relationship between the Qian family and this king is a little closer. If Qian's concubine can give birth to an heir, she will also be a blood relative of this king." Li Xuan's words that touched his upper and lower lips immediately made Qian Zhe's His face became more comfortable, but he still kept holding his hands and said: "Don't dare, don't dare!"
"Please take a seat." Li Xuan stretched out her hand slightly, and Qian Zhe immediately sat down in his seat.
Li Xuan then looked up at Zhang Yi, who was standing on the left, and said softly: "Join the army..."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to say any more!" Zhang Yi smiled bitterly and held up his hands, but he said sincerely: "Xiaoguan has received a message from my brother. No matter what happens to your Majesty in Wuzhou, I will definitely give you your full assistance."
Li Xuan nodded slightly. When he was in Hangzhou, he paid a special visit to the Lu family, Lu Yuanming, and Zhang Chun, Yuan Yi, Yu Yong and others were also there.
When leaving, Li Xuan also got a personal letter from Lu Yuanming.
However, Lu Yuanming did not write this letter to Zhang Yi.
The four families in Wuzhong are Gu Lu and Zhu Zhang.
Each family has different interests and demands. Using a letter written by the Lu family to ask the Zhang family to do things is somewhat inappropriate.
After all, it was Zhang Chun who was related to the Lu family, not Zhang Yi.
Hearing Zhang Yineng take the initiative to say this, Li Xuan also nodded slightly with satisfaction.
Lu Yuanming's letter is of great use, and it is not used here.
Say this later.
Li Xuan gestured for everyone to sit down with both hands, and then raised the wine glass in front of her: "Everyone, there is no need for me to emphasize again and again. The most important thing in Wuzhou now is the summer harvest.
Whether it is the Tianyin Sect or anyone else here, if anyone dares to cause trouble during the summer harvest, I will definitely let him know what it means to have a family destroyed and a person to die. "
Li Xuan's eyes were extremely cold, and everyone present was suddenly in awe.
"I don't dare!" Everyone present quickly stood up at the same time.
Li Xuan smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, please raise a toast together and wish that the treasury will be full this summer and the people will be happy."
"May the treasury be filled and the people happy." Everyone present raised their glasses at the same time and shouted in unison.
Li Xuan drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and the others did not dare to neglect at all, and immediately drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, put down his wine glass, and changed his tone and said: "Although the king has implemented a ban on people entering Wuzhou, it is difficult for this order to cover the entire people of Wuzhou, especially those who migrated from Muzhou back then. of.
Therefore, I plan to issue a new decree specifically targeting some Muzhou immigrants who have lived in Wuzhou for many years. The official document is here. Everyone who is working on it should take a look. "
Li Zhu immediately stepped forward, bowed and placed the official document in Shen Tuo's hand first.
Shen Tuo just glanced at the contents of the official document, and his expression changed slightly.
Orders to open up wasteland and grant fields.
