The scenery of Qiongchi in March is even more charming. The rays are dazzling, the lake is rippling, and the willow trees and peach blossoms on the shore are in full bloom. The occasional whisper of Yan makes the intoxicated tourists feel more relaxed and comfortable.
On the boat, Yang Qing leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. He saw several fishing boats parked on the lake in front of him. There were many naked fishermen on the fishing boats, and they were throwing fishing nets into the water.
"It turns out someone is fishing. Okay, let's go take a look and buy some fresh fish to stew in soup." Yang Qing said to Zhou Xing who was standing at the bow of the boat.
"Yes, Mr. Fu."
Suddenly Yang Qing said again: "By the way, let's go down and tell everyone not to reveal their identity, so as not to disturb others while fishing."
"yes."
Today Yang Qing finally had some free time and had time to go out of the city to visit Qiongchi. This time he did not call anyone else, but only brought a few guards from Zhou Xing out incognito. Today he wanted to relax alone for a day.
The reason why he went out to play alone was not because he saw other people being upset, but because he wanted to walk around the Qiongdu city alone, and then find a clean and comfortable place to think about something quietly by himself, and think about his next move. How to go through the stages.
He had received news that the imperial court had decided to transfer him away from Yuexi and arrange a new official position for him. The envoys who came to deliver the order were already on their way, so he did not have much time in Yuexi and Nanzhong.
Now that he was leaving, he had to make relatively stable arrangements for various political and military affairs in Yuexi. He didn't want the good situation he had finally established to decline easily.
Not only for his two years of hard work, but also for the sake of the people in Yuexi, he had to plan carefully and deploy carefully, so as not to leave the government after he left.
"Well, this fish soup smells so good!" Yang Qing moved his index finger while looking at the white fish soup stewed in the bowl.
Just now, Zhou Xing bought three large white fish from the fisherman and gave them to the cook on the boat to cook them. Two were stewed in soup, one was steamed, and they were paired with several refreshing and crisp side dishes. It was really delicious.
Yang Qing drank a bowl and felt very comfortable in his stomach. He immediately called everyone to come over and have a taste.
"De Mao, I'm going to be transferred back to Chengdu. If you have any plans, just tell me directly. Do you want to go out on a flight or stay behind and change jobs? As long as it's reasonable, I will make arrangements for you." After eating and drinking, Yang Qing Calling Zhou Xing to the bow of the boat, the two of them talked while blowing the warm spring breeze.
He was about to leave Yuexi, so it was natural that there should be a suitable arrangement for everyone who would follow him south.
Two years ago, Yang Xi and others left the flowery world of Shuzhong and followed him to Nanzhong, a desolate land full of miasma and numerous barbarians. They settled in an isolated city and overcame all obstacles to finally complete the great cause of regaining the entire county.
During this period, everyone had already formed a deep friendship. Now that Yang Qing was leaving, he naturally had to give an explanation to these old friends.
In fact, Zhang Yi and others were lucky. They all got promoted in their official careers due to their meritorious service in putting down the rebellion. Only Zhou Xing, who had been serving as his subordinate, had almost no chance to go into battle to kill the enemy, so he has not been promoted yet.
Therefore, Yang Qing felt that he owed Zhou Xing, and now that he was leaving, he had to find a good future for him no matter what.
Zhou Xing, as his guard leader, naturally knew that Yang Qing was going to be transferred away, but when he heard Yang Qing's sudden words, he was still a little stunned.
After being stunned for a moment, Zhou Xing cupped his hands and said, "Xing has no plans. I just ask the master to transfer him away from Yuexun so that he can take Xing with him."
Yang Qing was slightly surprised by such an idea, and asked again: "De Mao doesn't want to stay in Yuexi?"
"Xing is only willing to follow Fujun, and Xing will go wherever Fujun goes?" Zhou Xing shook his head at first, and then replied firmly.
Yang Qing pondered for a while, and after a moment he smiled and said: "That's fine, you can continue to follow me. To be honest, I don't trust others to protect me without you."
Zhou Xing is cautious and meticulous in his work, and he also knows how to be flexible. With him guarding him, Yang Qing feels much more at ease.
A few days later, the messenger from Chengdu finally arrived in Qiongdu. The messenger summoned officials at both the city and county levels in Qiondu and publicly announced the appointment of Yang Qingxin by the imperial court.
Yang Qing resigned from the post of governor of Yuexun and was transferred to the Prime Minister's Mansion to join the army. Since Prime Minister Zhuge's transfer order was urgent, Yang Qing was asked not to wait for the next governor of Yuexun to return to the capital, but to rush back to Chengdu within one month. .
Because the court has not yet determined the candidate for the next governor of Yuexun, after Yang Qing left, the political affairs of the county were temporarily presided over by the county prime minister Wang Yi.
After hearing the order, all the officials had different expressions. Some of them had heard about this before, so they didn't appear too surprised at this time.
And those who heard it for the first time were naturally shocked, with thousands of thoughts and ideas in their minds.
In fact, most people knew that Yang Qing would not stay in Yuexun for a long time. After all, the court would not let such a talent stay in the rear area of Nanzhong for a long time.
But when they heard the news at this moment, everyone was more or less filled with a feeling of reluctance. Needless to say, old people like Yang Xi who came from the south, even former officials like Wang Yi felt incomprehensible.
Although Yang Qing was appointed governor for only two short years, the changes he brought to Yuexun can be described as earth-shaking.
Not to mention that he captured Gaoding with weak troops in an isolated city, quelled the rebellion, and recovered the entire county, but that since he took office, he has promoted agriculture, promoted trade and travel, opened roads, set up workshops, settled the refugees, and pacified the barbarians...
Various measures were taken to manage Yuexun in an orderly and prosperous manner. Not only did the people feel grateful for their kindness, but even Wang Yi and other officials were grateful.
Without Yang Qing to turn the tide, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to secure their jobs. By then, being dismissed from office would probably be a trivial matter, and whether their lives could be saved or not is a matter of difference. Not to mention today's promotion, a glorious resume, and a promising career?
"Master Fu?" After the envoy was brought to the post to rest, everyone in the hall looked at him with bright eyes.
Most of the people were thoughtful people, and they did not say anything that would hinder their future, such as persuading others to stay. They bowed and said, "Congratulations to the Lord of the Palace, congratulations to the Lord of the Palace!"
Seeing the reluctance on everyone's faces, Yang Qing was moved in his heart and said politely: "Thank you all very much. I won't say much more. I will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight and have a drink with you all."
Seeing how heroic he spoke, everyone was deeply affected. Their reluctance was much lessened, and they all laughed and said, "I would like to get drunk with you."
That night, Yang Qing spent his own money to host a banquet in the back garden of the government office to entertain a group of close officials. Zhang Ni and other old friends who were far away in other counties were also summoned back to Qiongdu by Yang Qing a few days ago. Therefore, tonight was a full house, so all the old people were here. .
"Thank you all for your help in the past two years. Without you, the Qing Dynasty will be difficult to achieve. In order to revive the Han Dynasty, Qing will temporarily leave Yuexi today. I hope that after Qing leaves, you will cherish yourselves and work together to achieve great governance for Yuexi." Yang Qing said loudly while holding the wine glass.
Everyone stood up and said, "We will obey the Lord's teachings."
"Okay, let's drink this cup together, please."
"Master Fu, please."
In the bedroom, Yang Qing took the hot tea handed over by Mulan, drank it in one gulp, and suddenly felt much more awake.
It was already late at night, and the banquet had already dispersed. The reason why he hadn't rested yet was because he had something to do.
"Is everyone here?"
Mulan replied: "General Zhang and others are waiting in the public room."
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Although Yang Qing had warned everyone one by one at the banquet just now, Zhang Yi and other close friends naturally wanted to talk alone.
"Boqi, Wenran, Xiuran, Botong, Demao, how are you sobering up?" Yang Qing asked with a smile as soon as he entered the door.
Everyone stood up and smiled, knowing that they had already woken up. Yang Qing motioned for everyone to take a seat and said: "There is no need to say more about the purpose of keeping you here. I will only say two points now."
He paused and said: "After I leave, you must still work hard and take good care of the results we have gained through life and death."
"Your Majesty, please bear in mind your instructions." Zhang Yi and others responded.
Yang Qing nodded and continued: "The second point is that you are all talented people, and the imperial court will not let you wait in Nanzhong for a long time. In the future, if a certain person establishes a foothold in the north, if you don't give up, a certain person will I am also willing to work with all my brothers to revive the Han Dynasty."
"As long as the Lord of the House calls you, I will definitely accompany you." Zhang Yi said, clasping his fists.
Liu Yin also said firmly: "Yin is also willing."
"The play is the same."
"Same for so and so." Shen Da said with his fists clasped.
Zhou Xing wanted to go north with him. Although he didn't say anything at this time, his firm eyes showed his thoughts.
"You all have great righteousness, and I would like to express my gratitude to you."
Yang Qing said to Zhang Ni again: "By the way, Bo Qi, I have recommended you to the imperial court to take over as the governor of Yuexun."
"Thank you, Mr. Fu." Zhang Ni saluted excitedly.
Yang Qing smiled and said: "Don't be too busy thanking me. Whether it succeeds or not depends on the court's wishes."
"No matter whether it is successful or not, the great kindness of the Lord will be unforgettable."
Yang Qing nodded, said no more, stood up and said, "Everyone, I'll see you later."
Three days later, Yang Qing took Mulan, Zhou Xing and more than a dozen people to leave, which would disturb the people. Yang Qing told Wang Yi and others not to make any noise.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the group arrived at the city gate, they saw a group of people supporting the elderly and the young gathered together. It seemed that they had been waiting for Yang Qing here for a long time.
"Prince, Bo Qi?" Yang Qing asked in confusion.
Wang Yi smiled and said: "Perhaps someone leaked the news, but the people are in agreement, so the Lord should not refuse."
"You guys..."
Yang Qing had no choice but to get off his horse and walked towards the people, gesturing with his hands as he walked.
"Can Mr. Yang not leave?" An old man came to Yang Qing with a cane and asked.
"My father-in-law, Qing has to obey the imperial court's order." Yang Qing explained with a smile.
"Master Fu, can you not leave?" Yang Qing was about to continue walking forward when suddenly all the people urged him to stay.
When Yang Qing heard this, he stopped and was moved. He couldn't help shouting with tears in his eyes: "Folks, the court has orders, and Qing has to obey them. After a certain person leaves, the new prefect will definitely implement benevolent governance and make the lives of the villagers better." Richer."
After saying that, he bowed and bowed to the people. Unexpectedly, the people's condolences became more enthusiastic and the road was blocked, making it impossible to go. Yang Qing was moved and helpless, so he looked to Wang Yi beside him for help.
Wang Yi understood, raised his voice to stop the people's voices, and said loudly: "Folks, Mr. Yang has to go on his way. We, the people of Qiongdu, don't miss Mr. Fu's future. Let's send him out of the city together to show our gratitude. Translate the hearts and minds of the people."
After hearing this, the people slowly moved out of the way, and everyone followed Yang Qing to send him out of the city gate.
Seeing that the people had been sent away for several miles, Yang Qing stopped everyone with tears in his eyes. He glanced at the people one by one and then looked at Qiongdu City in the distance. Then he gritted his teeth and got on his horse, bowed his hands and bowed again, and then took the lead. Then Mulan and others left.
