Above the tea house, for a while, only mist and rain could be heard, but no human voice was heard.
Dou Qiushi and Chen Yu looked at each other, and then said slowly, "Yesterday, the Commander-in-Chief greeted me. I knew that the Commander-in-Chief had only been back to the city for a day or two, but I didn't know that he had already returned."
Chen Yu smiled and said, "Master Xie has a general in his family. It is normal for him to be more informed than the two of us. May I ask Master Xie, when did the governor return to the city?"
"It's noon today," Xie Wushang said while shaking his head, "Master Chen just said something wrong. Even if there is a general in Xie's family, and he is a general under General Luo, he doesn't know the news about the governor. They are far inferior to the children of the Supervisory Officer Yan’s family, and they are... much inferior."
After saying this sentence, not only Dou Qiushi, but also Chen Yu, who was familiar with the world, fell silent.
Dou Qiushi slowly picked up the tea cup and brought it to his mouth. He took a small sip and turned to Chen Yu with a smile, "What Mr. Chen said is true. The tea in this teahouse is indeed the best."
Chen Yu nodded with a smile, picked up the teacup in front of him, nodded at Xie Wushang, then lowered his head to drink the tea.
Dou Qiushi gently put down the tea cup, then turned to look at Xie Wushang and asked, "In the past few days, someone has indeed told me a few things about the juniors of the Yan family. They are so stupid and arrogant that it is annoying, but I don't know, Mr. Xie What did you mean by what you just said?"
Xie Wushang had already finished the tea in his teacup. He picked up the tea cauldron and slowly refilled the tea cauldron for Dou Qiushi and Chen Yu. He waited until he put the tea cauldron back on the stove and adjusted the fire again. He opened his mouth and said, "The Lord Commander and General Luo are old acquaintances and have a close relationship. Naturally, they should know the closeness between General Luo and the Lord Prefect, which is unmatched by others. But even so, every time the Lord Governor travels, no matter the route or the way back, , General Luo doesn’t know everything. Most of the time, he just knows a little bit earlier than the rest of us. This is already an incomparable favor and trust.”
Dou Qiushi nodded and said, "The governor's itinerary is not only related to his own safety, but also to the safety of the entire Li County. You must not be careless."
"That's right!" He secretly visited the person in a forbidden area..." He looked sideways at Dou Qiushi and Chen Yu, "Don't you two adults think there is something fishy about this?"
Chen Yu looked at his nose and heart without saying anything.
Dou Qiushi frowned slightly, chewing on the meaning of Xie Wushang's words, "Master Taishou, what else happened in Taiming City?!"
Xie Wushang shook his head, "At present, apart from General Lu, only a few people like the Commander-in-Chief and General Luo should know about the Governor's affairs in Taiming. There shouldn't be many people who know specifically, but... It is said that when General Luo rode out of the camp alone this morning to pick up the governor, he smashed two chairs..."
Chen Yu turned his eyes and held the tea cup with a somewhat dry hand, but did not lift it up. He looked at Dou Qiushi and asked slowly, "When the prefect was in Taiming, did you send a message back..."
Dou Qiushi nodded, "You and I all know about this. There is a problem in Heyu City, Yongchang County. The prefect wants to mobilize the army to help, and needs a lot of food and grass..." His expression suddenly changed, He fell silent as if he had thought of something.
The three of them drank tea in silence for a while, before Xie Wushang spoke again, "If it's just a few juniors messing around, in the big picture, it's still a small matter after all, but if it wasn't for the intentions of these little guys... ." He turned to look at Dou Qiushi and Chen Yudao, "We also have to think in advance about how things will change next."
Chen Yu remained silent this time, but Dou Qiushi put down the tea cup and asked an irrelevant question, "Master Xie, what kind of person do you think our Lord Prefect is?"
Xie Wushang said without thinking, "He has a great talent, a great strategy, and extraordinary courage. He can control the people of the court internally, and defeat demons and bandits externally. He can be called a young hero."
Dou Qiushi nodded and said, "Yes?"
Xie Wushang sighed secretly, Dou Qiushi
This word made him a little embarrassed to ask, but after thinking about it for a moment, he said calmly, "I'm still young, I'm easily impulsive, and I like to take risks."
Dou Qiushi nodded again and said meaningfully, "Master Xie's comments are fair. Our Lord Prefect is young and promising, and his outstanding achievements are obvious to all. There is no need to go into details. However, when a young man succeeds, he will inevitably become arrogant. , there is no room for sand in your eyes..."
Hearing this, Chen Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip very slowly.
Xie Wushang couldn't help but frown slightly, "Master Dou is saying that the prefect will use thunderous means to take advantage of this matter?" He said with some confusion, "That is to use thunderous means to kill those Yan family members. The disciples all had their heads chopped off, and..." He suddenly fell silent.
Dou Qiushi drank tea silently, wondering what he was thinking.
Chen Yu gently put down the teacup, and said slowly in an old voice, "Master Xie is right, we should think about how to deal with it next..."
Xie Wushang looked at Chen Yu, then at Dou Qiushi, and considered, "Suppose... this time there are many official positions in the supervisory chief officer department vacated, and even the position of chief supervisory officer... ....Can we push some people up and make some money?!"
Chen Yu retracted his hands into his sleeves and looked sideways at Dou Qiushi without turning his head.
Dou Qiushi held his teacup, rubbed it repeatedly, lowered his eyes and pondered for a while, but still shook his head firmly, "No, the time when the prefect has been on the throne is still too short, and he doesn't know much about us. In addition, the court We have just taken advantage of it, and now we have to compete for such an important position again. It will inevitably make the prefect have ambitious ideas that will be difficult to control in the future, and the gain outweighs the loss."
Chen Yu turned his eyes and nodded slowly, "That's all for other positions in the supervisory department. The position of chief supervisor is indeed too important."
Xie Wushang thought for a while and then asked, "Do you two adults think that if we don't compete for this position, who will the prefect prefer to join the court?"
Dou Qiushi shook his head, "Today's Lijun, Anling and Sancang are newly acquired places where no one can stand out. Cangyan and Baitong are still short of county chief officials who can compete on this matter. But there are only two people, Song Sheng, the governor of Taiming County, and Lu Bing, the governor of Shangyuan County. As for who they are, no one can predict them."..net
Xie Wushang pondered, "Of these two people, Song Sheng is cowardly and Lu Bing is conservative. No matter how we compare, they can't compare to Lu Cong, the governor of Ganyuan County here. If the governor really orders him... ....?」
Chen Yu lowered his head and shook it slightly.
Dou Qiushi said, "Although the chief supervisor is an important minister, he is basically just a ruler for the prefect to measure and beat officials. Since Lu Cong is capable of doing things, it would be a pity to put him here." ....."
Xie Wushang understood what Dou Qiu meant by the truth, his eyes lit up, and he nodded, "That's right!"
