"What?! Zhang Yan took his three children and flew away on a shuttle-shaped object from Shilin Slope outside the city!?"
Even though Emperor Yang Sheng was usually very sophisticated, and had a very deep and deliberate training and concealment of his manners and emotions, he still couldn't control himself when he heard that Zhang Yan flew away with the Skylark Shuttle outside Yuanding City. He immediately jumped up from his chair.
Last night, Yang Sheng was still talking to his personal eunuch about Zhang Yan's ability to move in the air during a fight, and then thought of a legendary saying that a warrior who had reached the realm of nine gates and opened three gates could physically cross. Taking the inkstone as an example, the legend should not be a fantasy. But how long has it been? Unexpectedly, Zhang Yan took the three children and flew directly, and it was not the kind of flight last night, but "straight into the sky, saying he wanted to fly back to Langyuan City."
Yuanding Imperial City is thousands of miles away from Langyuan City. Flying back? !
"Go to Feiyu in Langyuan City and ask how long it will take for them to arrive!" This is the only thing Yang Sheng can do. But this news made him confused. Even the state affairs that he usually handled easily could no longer be handled with peace of mind. Calling the eunuch, he drove to the small lake behind, preparing to go fishing to change his mood, and also to ponder the various impacts of Zhang Yan taking people all the way back to Langyuan City.
Yang Sheng doesn't like eating fish, but he likes fishing. All the fish he caught would go away and then he would put them back. This makes it increasingly difficult to catch fish in this small lake. But Yang Sheng didn't mind and still liked to come here when he was thinking about some troublesome things.
It has been almost thirty years since Yang Sheng ascended the throne of emperor at the age of twenty-seven. I can't say that I am an expert in running the affairs of Nanyuan Kingdom, but I am familiar with the road and know all the twists and turns.
The most difficult problem, and one that emperors of all dynasties have been trying to solve but are still unable to effectively reverse, is: how to rule the counties in the country efficiently and effectively.
The key to this problem lies in the two words "the road is far away".
Just like Beijiang County. Yang Sheng hoped that Shi Xuan, the general manager of the East Route Military Road in Beijiang County, would send troops south at any time to fill the power gap between Yuezhong and Yuanding. Just such a matter requires Fei Yu to go back and forth time and time again. Even if Shi Xuan has other ideas, there is no way to exchange opinions quickly. There was no way to force Shi Xuan to give an answer. And if we want to send the supervisory army to pass the order, it will take more than half a month for one side, which is too slow.
And just like this time, Shi Xuan's plan finally came back after Yang Sheng repeatedly urged it. But because of the limitations of flying feathers, I can't explain it in detail. I can only give a general idea. The detailed strategy still needs to be delivered separately by emissaries, and the time is at least half a month.
If there is a problem in any link, it is uncertain how long it will take to get the response.
Even news and decisions are so lagging behind that strict rule becomes a beautiful vision. It is also because we know that there are many officials in various places harboring evil and evil, but it is difficult to eliminate them on a large scale. I can only hunt tigers and pretend not to see flies at the same time.
Is it disgusting? Definitely disgusting. But even if Yang Sheng was the most powerful person in Nanyuan Kingdom, there was still no way to eradicate this trouble. In fact, it wasn't just Yang Sheng. Who among the emperors in the world didn't worry about this matter? Feiyu was created by the efforts of our predecessors. Earlier it was more difficult to be an emperor.
But now things have changed.
"It's not crossing with the body, but with an artifact... You can also carry three more people... fly back to Beijiang County..." These fragments were in Yang Sheng's head. It was extracted by him, and finally refined and kneaded together to form an idea that made him couldn't help but feel secretly excited.
"If Zhang Yan's method can be popularized..." Yang Sheng did not dare to think deeply, because he was worried that if this method could not be popularized, his happiness would be in vain.
A few days later, Feiyu returned, and the news he brought back made Yang Sheng jump out of his chair at one point.
"One day! It only took them one day to arrive at Langyuan City from Yuanding!?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. According to the news from Langyuan City, starting from the time Zhang Yan entered Langyuan City, it only took three and a half hours before and after he flew away from Yuanding. In addition, including the time he landed early and walked He probably only spent three hours."
Yang Sheng did not go to the small lake behind to figure it out for himself this time. Instead, he paced in the study and asked, "Tell me your opinion. Do you think it is possible to popularize the flying method?"
"Reply to Your Majesty. Although I have fought against Zhang Yan before, I still can't understand or guess his methods. But if his flight this time is with the help of artifacts instead of his own ability, then I think the promotion It is also possible to open the door. But whether it is really as the old slave guessed, we have to directly check with Zhang Yan later. Maybe it will be easier to ask if the Thirteenth Prince opens his mouth."
"The benefits of utensils! Zhang Yan's ability is always beyond expectations. The bell he took out before and the long shuttle he took out this time are not simple! Compared with the big weapons he took out for sale It's like a fire stick! This man seems to have all the good things in his hands.
Xiao Shisan is a smart kid, but it was a pity that he couldn't practice martial arts before. Now I didn't expect that there would be another future. Seeing how much Zhang Yan likes Xiao Shisan, it shouldn't be a problem to find an opportunity to ask. I don’t know if Zhang Yan will pass down this weapon-making method, no, it should be called "weapon refining". If Xiao Shisan can learn it, tsk tsk, that will be the great blessing of the country! "
"Your Majesty is right. But if the Thirteenth Prince asks about the long flying shuttle, can he also help the Special Cases Department from the side? It is true that Shen Wujiu does not dare to go straight to find Zhang. Yan urged, I hope it can..."
However, Yang Sheng waved his hand and interrupted the old eunuch's words, and said displeasedly: "The Special Case Division has always been in contact with Zhang Yan. Just continue on the path that you should take. Why do you need Xiao Shisan to help knock on the edge?" Gu? It’s okay to ask questions out of curiosity, but it’s not appropriate to let Little Thirteen get involved in specific matters. This is the minimum bottom line.”
Although he is Tie Shi's confidant, Yang Sheng is also rare and stern at this time, and he is not prepared to leave any room for the other party. Now in his heart, the position of the Thirteenth Son was far more important than those annoying and disturbing things in the case department.
If in normal times he saw the emperor talking about this, the old eunuch would know what he was talking about and wouldn't say anything more. But this time he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I know that the Thirteenth Prince's position is very important at this time. However, bad news spreads frequently in various places, showing the situation of blooming in many places at the same time, and even one family in a remote village has died. situation. The best way is to use that kind of bell to pursue and patrol..."
Yang Sheng snorted coldly, but he also heard the old eunuch's anxiety. After thinking about it, he said: "Then let Shen Wujiu be the middleman and escort the first batch of longevity stones from Linxia and Yumen to Zhang Yan. With the longevity stones as a stepping stone, Shen Wujiu should be able to speak. Bar?"
