The sky is clear, the wind is sunny, and the fragrance of flowers blows on the face, making people unable to help but be intoxicated.
In the postal pavilion ten miles south of the city, Ma Su, Qin Mi, Pu Yuan, Li Yu and others gathered here to buy wine for Yang Qing to see him off.
After three cups of wine, everyone finished their blessings one by one. Yang Qing got on his horse and was about to leave, but Qin Mi came over to grab the reins and said with a smile: "It is clear that all the sages are here, and we are about to part ways. Why not write a poem to express it." Thoughts by all."
Yang Qing nodded, closed his eyes and meditated. After a moment, he opened his eyes and recited loudly: "The city is auxiliary to the three Shu, and the wind and smoke look at Qiongdu. I want to say goodbye to you, and we are both eunuchs. There are close friends in the sea, and we are neighbors in the world. Inaction is here. On the divergent roads, children share the same fate."
This poem is simple and easy to understand, and among those present, Qin Mi is the most talented and learned person. As soon as Yang Qing finished reading it, he understood the main idea of the poem.
I thought this poem was about the three counties in central Sichuan protecting the majestic Chengdu. Now Mingzhi is looking at Yuexi County through the wind, clouds and smoke. When I say goodbye to everyone, I have infinite affection in my heart, because I am in the official world. People who are ups and downs, but as long as there are friends in this world, even if they are far away, they are as close as their neighbors. Therefore, you must not let your tears wet your clothes like passionate children when they part ways at the fork in the road.
The others are also people with outstanding talents and learning, and they also quickly understand the meaning of poetry. Everyone did not expect Yang Qingzhen to compose a complete poem so quickly, and they all secretly praised him in their hearts for his quick thinking, especially the line "My best friend in the world is as far away as the world" Neighbors are enough to be a famous saying throughout the ages.
Everyone was still immersed in this excellent farewell poem, but suddenly they heard the sound of a horse, and saw Yang Qing driving his mount, turning his back to everyone, raising his right hand and waving: "There are close friends in the sea, and we are neighbors in the world. Dear gentlemen, so-and-so Go."
Li Yu stood in the crowd and looked at Yang Qingyuan's retreating figure. He couldn't help but praise: "Ming Zhi is so chic." After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
On both sides of Yang Qing were Zhang Yi, Yang Xi, and Liu Yin. They all saw from a distance how everyone was seeing Yang Qing off just now. The three of them were also impressed by his talent. At this time, they saw him sitting on a horse and looking like a man. With a calm and contented look on his face, everyone thought that Mr. Fu was really a famous person.
Yang Qing finished reciting the famous poem that he had finally thought of that suited this situation, and he had a panoramic view of everyone's reactions.
Sitting on the horse at this moment, this guy looked calm as usual, but he was smug in his heart. He couldn't help but sigh to himself: Alas, it seems that I have been tricked again today.
On their way to Yueqi County to take up their posts, Yang Qing and his party planned to first take a boat from Chengdu to the Minjiang River to Bodao, the seat of Qianwei County, and then turn from Bodao to Anshang County not far to the west.
Jianwei County was established by Emperor Xiaowu in the sixth year of Jianyuan. At that time, there were 12 counties with a household registration of 100,000. During the reign of Liu Zhang, Jiangyang County was separated from this county, so at this time there were nine counties, large and small, with a household registration of tens of thousands.
When this county was first established, there were many barbarians in the southwest. Later, a large number of Han people continued to flow in from the north, bringing advanced culture to Jianwei County.
By the middle of the Later Han Dynasty, the Sinicization of this area had been basically completed. Although there were still many Yi people in the county, people at that time no longer regarded Jianwei County as a county where Yi people lived in the southwest. They even called this county together with Shu County and Guanghan County. Sanshu.
Qianwei County is 3,270 miles away from Luoyang and 150 miles away from Chengdu. At first, the county was governed in Fan County, and later it was moved to Nanguang County. Now it is further south to Bodao County.
Bodao is about 800 miles away from the northern border of Jianwei County, so Yang Qing and the others had to walk about a thousand miles to reach Bodao. Fortunately, there were waterways along the way, which greatly reduced their burden and fatigue.
Going south along the outer water, Yang Qing and his party arrived at Bodao in a few days. The prefect Wang Shi had already received the news and personally led all the civil and military officials out of the city to greet them at the riverside dock.
"Qing has met Mr. Wangfu. He is a junior. How dare Mr. Lao go out to greet him in person?" Yang Qing paid homage to Mr. Wang.
Yue Xi relied on Jianwei County, and the two counties were watching and helping each other. What's more, Yue Xi only had one county left, Anshang, and it couldn't do without the assistance of Jianwei County. Therefore, Yang Qing was very respectful to Wang Shi.
"Mr. Yang is young and promising, and he is one of the rare heroes in Shu. I have long wanted to make friends with you, but Chengdu and Bodao are separated from each other, so we have never had the chance to meet. It is fortunate that you and I meet here. How can we not not Are you here to greet me?" Wang Shi returned the greeting with clasped fists.
He is about forty years old this year. He is a native of Li County, Guanghan. He is a direct descendant of the Wang family of Guanghan. After the late emperor entered Shu, he first promoted filial piety and integrity. Starting from the head of Fujie, he successively served as the general of Yamen and the prefect of Danqu. He is very famous in Shu.
Wang Shi also treated Yang Qing with great courtesy. The reason why he went out of the city to greet him was not only due to the etiquette that colleagues with equal official positions should have when crossing the border, but also because he had a good impression of Yang Qing.
Wang Shi had not only heard of Yang Qing's talents, but also admired his courage to leave the center of Chengdu and go to Yuexi County to take up a post.
You must know that as the governor of Qianwei in neighboring Yuexi County, he is most aware of the complexity and difficulty of the situation in Nanzhong. Among the three rebellious Nanzhong counties, Gao Ding was the most arrogant and arrogant. After all, the two thieves Yong Kai and Zhu Bao were powerful Han people and had certain scruples. As the king of Yi, Gao Ding was much more lawless.
Therefore, Wang Shi was particularly curious about Yang Qing's strategy after he took office, and kept asking him questions on the way to the post house.
Yang Qing will have to rely on Wang Shi for help in the future, but he is willing to communicate with him so that they can take care of each other in the future. However, he secretly thought that based on the current situation of Yue Si County, he might have unilaterally asked Wang Yiqiang for help.
Wang Shi agreed very much that the two counties were helping each other. He waved his hand and agreed immediately. Seeing how happy he was, Yang Qing was a little confused for a moment, wondering if it was the Prime Minister who had said hello in advance?
Yang Qing was only half-guessed about this. Zhuge Liang had already said hello, but the main reason why Wang Shi was so talkative was that among the barbarians in Yuexi and Jianwei, there were Bo tribes from the same tribe. The Bo people in the two places had the same roots. Those with the same origin and the same Qi connecting branches often cause cross-border chaos.
What's more, most of Yuexi County is now occupied by the barbarians. If Yang Qing doesn't support him from the front, the next one to face the rebels' sword will be his Jianwei County.
Therefore, whether considering the overall situation or the peace of the county, Wang Shi will choose to strongly support Yang Qing.
Therefore, the two of them had a great time chatting with each other, and felt like they felt like old friends after seeing each other. Early on the next morning, Yang Qing wanted to say goodbye and rush to Anshang County, but Wang Shi insisted on staying because the important matter had not been discussed yet. Yang Qing refused and had to continue to stay.
During this period, the group of people was led around by Wang Shi to visit Shengyu in the city. The officials in the city also kept banquets, so Yang Qing and others stayed for two more days. It was not until the third day that Wang Shi saw that he could no longer stay, so he held a banquet. Practice it and send it out of the city in person.
There is a road from Bodao to Qiong, the capital of Yueqi County, which is called Anshang Road because it passes through Anshang County. Therefore, after Yang Qing and his party left Bodao, they followed the Anshang Road up the river for about 300 meters. After many miles, they entered Anshang County.
As soon as he entered Anshang territory, Yang Qing changed into his official uniform, and immediately asked people to hold a guard of honor for the prefect. He also ordered Shen Da to send people to the county town to report the news and ask the officials in the city to be prepared.
At this time, many officials in the county were lost due to the rebellion of the barbarians. The officials in the old city were headed by the county meritorious officer Wang Yi and the magistrate of Anshang County Lu Shen. Lu Shen was injured not long ago when the barbarian soldiers attacked the city. Fortunately, after more than a month of fighting, Recuperation is no longer a serious problem.
When he heard that the new governor had sent a message, he immediately did not dare to neglect it. He took the document from the messenger and quickly read it. He saw that the official seal was indeed the seal of the governor. Now he no longer doubted it and felt relieved.
After Lu Shen sent the envoy to report, he immediately summoned the main officials in the city to go out to greet him, and asked the commander of Qu Lei Xiong to raise a group of people and horses to protect him.
Lu Shen and others were less than two miles away from the city when they saw a red flag suddenly flashing across the hill in front of them, with a large Chinese character written on it. Everyone knew that the new governor had arrived.
