Outside Lanxi County, the official ship slowly moved away, and Lanxi County Magistrate Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the King of Nanchang did not make any guarantee, Xu Wen's credit has been clearly reported, so it should not be difficult to offset the blame with merit.
Turning around, Xu Wen cupped his hands towards Zhuge Yun and said, "This time Sun is going north, and with the care of the King of Nanchang, there will be hope for spring next year."
"The county magistrate has given you too much praise. Minghui is young and this time he is just traveling." Zhuge Yun returned the greeting with a wry smile.
Although Zhuge Minghui has some talent and learning, compared with those talents who come from aristocratic families, he is not even the slightest bit inferior.
"Actually, it's not necessarily true. Talent is talent and science is science. There is a big difference." Xu Wen looked proud, but then he laughed at himself and said, "There are many seniors around the King of Nanchang. There is no need for me to say more here... Your Majesty still has many arrangements, Mr. Weng, I will take my leave now!"
Xu Wen and Zhuge Yun said goodbye and quickly returned to the county government office.
Although the King of Nanchang only stayed in Lanxi for half a day, he made many arrangements.
Xu Wen did not dare to delay at all.
The official ship slowly sailed upstream. Li Xuan looked at Zhuge Minghui, who was sitting on one side and was studying official documents, and asked casually: "Minghui, are there any elders in the Zhuge family now in the court?"
Zhuge Minghui hesitated for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "During the late emperor's time, there was an uncle named Zhihong Wenguan of Nanyangfang. Later, after his death, no one from the Zhuge family served in the central government, but many of them served in various states. Those who join the army have remote bloodlines.”
"Zhi Hongwen Guan?" Li Xuan looked at Yu Ze who was standing aside in surprise. Yu Ze thought for a moment and said, "It should be Zhuge Zhen, a direct scholar of Hongwen Guan. He was a straight bachelor, but he passed away within a few years."
"It's good if there is a connection." Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and a series of operating methods flashed through his mind.
As long as he does it properly, even though Zhuge Minghui's talent is not that extraordinary, he still has a chance to win the Jinshi.
Zhuge Minghui on the side listened in confusion, wondering how much this great-uncle, who had died of illness many years ago, had anything to do with him.
Li Xuan looked up at Yu Ze and asked in a low voice: "Qiu Beishen is still following Master Shiyin?"
"Yes!" Yu Ze nodded and said, "Now, everyone has noticed that something is wrong. Zhonglang has been missing for such a long time. Kuaiji Prefecture, Huangshan Prefecture, as well as Shezhou and Muzhou all sent people to look for the two men in the mountains. After going back and forth, there is still no trace at all. It could be that some smart people have cleaned up all the traces in advance and deliberately prevent others from finding him."
"Inner guards!" Li Xuan couldn't help but sneered, and then said with confusion: "What on earth are they doing?"
"There is no news about Qiu Changshi in Shezhou, which means that he has not returned to Shezhou. He is the governor of Shezhou. Unless the Second Sage has ordered him to do other confidential tasks, then the only possibility now is that he has already On the way back to the capital of the gods." Yu Ze suddenly looked up at Li Xuan and said with a look of astonishment: "He got something very important in his hand."
Yu Ze didn't know about the death of Qiu Shenji, and even almost everyone didn't know about it.
Yu Ze's words are very reasonable. If Qiu Shenji is still alive, there is only one reason why he has not shown up.
That is, he has obtained a very valuable thing and secretly returned to the capital of God.
This may be what Ming Chongyan wants others to think. If the person who killed Qiu Shenji before suspects that Qiu Shenji is not dead, then he will naturally investigate with suspicion and fear, and even send another killer.
If someone is certain that Qiu Shenji is dead but does nothing, then it will naturally arouse Ming Chongyan's suspicion.
Li Xuan felt a little strange in his heart. Qiu Shenji clearly died in the hands of Empress Qiu, but why was he launching an internal investigation now?
Knocking on the table gently, Li Xuan said in a deep voice: "If this is really the case, General Zhonglang is probably very close to the gods now. We are not suitable for getting too involved in this matter, so we can keep it at any time."
"Your Majesty, you have to be careful that General Zhonglang will be in the Holy Land.
Renhe and Tianhou are confusing right and wrong, so they should go to Xinshezhou and Yuezhou and ask Captain Xue and Governor Duan to be more careful. Yu Ze suggested in a low voice.
Li Xuan frowned slightly. He had to be careful in this matter, because his opponent was no longer Qiu Shenji, but Ming Chongyan.
If you do too much, it will easily arouse the resentment of the queen. If you do nothing, it will easily arouse Ming Chongyan's suspicion.
Therefore, it must be done, but it must be reasonable, and Ming Chongyan must not be given any chance to use the topic to his advantage.
"Forget it about Shezhou. Before General Zhonglang disappeared, Captain Xue worked with him to write a memorial and sent it to the Governor of Shezhou King. Everything is enough. If you do more, you will make more mistakes. As for Governor Duan." Li Xuan lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Write a letter to Governor Duan and ask him to speak kindly to Qiu Beishen. We have also revised the memorial we wrote before."
"Your Majesty wants to push Qiu Bei up." Yu Ze immediately understood what Li Xuan was thinking. This was indeed a brilliant move.
"Let the Qiu family deal with the Qiu family's affairs, so that all aspects can be accounted for." Li Xuan's expression was very calm.
In this way, it is most in line with the approach of Li Xuan, a wise prince.
The technique is like an antelope hanging its horns, unconstrained and extremely effective.
If Ming Chongyan wanted to find the murderer of Qiu Shenji, he might have to think elsewhere.
But Li Xuan couldn't figure out what went wrong.
Su Lianyu has now detoured to Huguang and returned to Chang'an from Shu. With the capabilities of the inner guards and Baiqisi, it is not difficult to find out what happened.
Just take advantage of the situation and do tricks on Su Lianyu's head. Why do you focus on other places?
Unable to figure it out, Li Xuan quickly put the thought behind him. The less he paid attention to this matter, the better for him. What he really has to deal with now is the changes in Wuzhou.
Qin and Ming Dynasties transferred him to the post of governor of Muzhou, and Wang Fanglin wanted to be transferred away again.
The three positions of governor, Sima, and chief historian are vacant, and it is not known who the central government will assign to handle Wuzhou's government affairs.
But if you think about it carefully, Li Xuan won't have much time in Wuzhou.
After taking a short rest in Wuzhou, you have to return to Chang'an to get married. A few months after the wedding, you should be transferred back to the central government to serve in Honglu Temple.
After things in Wuzhou are settled, it's time to move on to Chang'an.
Chang'an.
Wuzhou Nancheng Wharf, a huge official ship is docked at the wharf.
The planks of the ship were put down, and Li Xuan quickly stepped off the ship, followed closely by Yu Ze, Wang Bo, Du Bixing, Xu Jian, Qi Guang and others.
Seeing Wang Fanglin, Zhang Yi, Han Jiang, Wang Qin and others waiting on the dock, Li Xuan felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy. He took the lead in saluting Wang Fanglin: "I have seen the envoy!"
"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work. Our officers and soldiers in Wuzhou have made many contributions to the victory over Muzhou. Even this state has been praised by the central government... But this state has to thank you, Your Majesty and everyone!" Wang Fanglin said with a smile. Li Xuan returned the gift.
"Don't you dare!" Li Xuan quickly stepped aside and then greeted Zhang Yi, Han Jiang, Wang Qin and other officials, as well as Shen Tuo, Yang Yan and Qian Zhe, the chiefs of several major families in Wuzhou. After that, he said: "Everyone, let's go back to the Yamen and talk about it."
"Master Shi Yin and Master Dao Yin?" Wang Fanglin looked at Li Xuan in surprise.
Li Xuan glanced back at the deck, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's temporarily inconvenient for you two, I'll go back to the Yamen first. Zhang Canjun, please handle the follow-up on the ship, and be more cautious."
Zhang Yi's brows were filled with joy, and then he immediately raised his hands solemnly and said, "I will accept your order."
"Well!" Li Xuan saw that there was no movement on the ship behind, so she approached Wang Fanglin in a low voice and said, "Uncle, please ask someone to clean up my nephew's mansion. The queen's body needs to be placed in the mansion." , mobilize soldiers to guard."
"Uncle Shi understands." Wang Fanglin, a sophisticated man, immediately understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words.
Li Xuan's eyes fell on Qian Zhe on one side. Although Qian Zhe behaved normally, his eyes often fell on the black coffin on the back boat.
Many people in the Sixteenth Wuyue Family are aware of the relationship between the Qian family and the Chen family.
Now that Chen Shuozhen has been eliminated, the last hidden danger of the Qian family is gone.
But unfortunately, there is also the King of Yue.
In the backyard of the state government office, Wang Fanglin held a banquet to thank Li Xuan, Du Bixing and other meritorious officials who had returned from Muzhou.
After drinking to his heart's content, Wang Fanglin waved to Li Xuan.
Li Xuan was a little surprised, but she still sat down with the wine glass in front of everyone.
Wang Fanglin looked at the dozens of Wuzhou bureaucrats, as well as more than a dozen patriarchs and legitimate sons of aristocratic families in the entire backyard, and whispered to Li Xuan: "Not long ago, news came from the Ministry of Personnel that His Majesty appointed Qin Sima to serve in Muzhou. As governor, Du Shenjun was reinstated as Wuzhou Sima, and Han Jiang was appointed again. The post of Hu Cao was held by Jinhua County Magistrate Ning Yi, Bing Cao Cannian Xu Jian was promoted to full-time, Cang Cao Cannian Li Yuanyi was transferred to Yuezhou Bing Cao, and Yuezhou Bing Cao Cannian Li Ji, transferred to Muzhou Facao to join the army..."
Scatteredly, Wang Fanglin made the next arrangements for Wuzhou officialdom and told Li Xuan.
Li Xuan nodded with a heavy face. Wang Fanglin served as the governor of Wuzhou, and his subordinates Sima, Fa Cao, Cang Cao, and Gong Cao were all his people. But now, except for Wang Qin, a meritorious officer who joined the army, all the others have Transferred.
"What about Uncle Shi?" Li Xuan's face was solemn. After Wang Fanglin said so much, Li Xuan had already vaguely guessed something.
"Uncle Shi will not move, he will still be the governor of Wuzhou." Wang Fanglin looked at the wine glass in front of him and said softly: "The good nephew will be transferred away in a few months. If uncle Shi is also transferred, then the governor, Sima, and the chief minister will all be transferred. He is a newcomer, which is not conducive to the stability of Wuzhou."
Although Du Bixing has been inspecting Wuzhou Sima for more than a few months, in the eyes of the officials, he is still a proper newcomer to Wuzhou.
"It's okay if you don't transfer. That way it's less likely that someone will find an opportunity. If you really transfer to the Western Region, once a war starts, although it's easy to make meritorious deeds, it's also easy for others to take advantage of you." Li Xuan's voice was very low, so low that only Wang Fanglin could hear it. Got to see.
Wang Fanglin nodded, with a somewhat emotional look on his face. He had already prepared to fight to the death in the Western Regions, but he didn't expect to be retained in Wuzhou.
"Your Majesty's consideration may be due to Muzhou. Brother Qin was first appointed as governor, and Muzhou was inappropriate in all aspects. I'm afraid he still needs more support from Wuzhou. If Uncle Shi was able to get the news in advance, I'm afraid your majesty is deliberately conniving."
"Yeah!" Wang Fanglin nodded slightly, he also expected this.
In a blink of an eye, Wang Fanglin looked at Li Xuan and asked with a smile: "My nephew's wedding is coming soon. When will he leave to return to Chang'an?"
