"Governor of Hedong Du ......"

The sharp-eyed officials saw the words on the banner clearly, and the officials couldn't help but look at each other. Four years after Zhide, the imperial court had an additional envoy with more power than the Jiedu envoy, that is, the local governor.

Of course, the fifth Qi knew about the several local governors who had been sealed out in the name of the Son of Heaven after Qin and Jin came to power, among which Du Fu was a confidant who had followed Qin and Jin for many years, and it had been four or five years since Feng Yijun was the Taishou of Feng Yijun, and the place where he patrolled was also the place that the imperial court attached the most importance to.

According to the practice of the imperial court officialdom, of course, an important minister at the level of the prime minister like Fifth Qi would greet him in person, but today was just an unexpected encounter, so the governor who had a very high reputation and had never seen him was only paid attention to from afar.

"Look at the governor's battle, compared to the festival envoy of the year, it is still worse, when the festival envoy of several major border armies entered Beijing to report on his work, the accompanying Hu can be dragged out for several miles from the front and back, and there is no ......end in sight."

"No, it was a good time at that time, but it's a pity that ......"

When the officials talked about the glory of the past, they couldn't help but sigh, but they also understood that this time was different from the past, and the festival envoys also had governors who restrained them. It's just that because of the bad influence caused by An Lushan and Shi Siming, even if he is as powerful as the governor, he can only act in a low-key manner.

When the horse team galloped closer, the officials could see clearly that Du Fu's entourage back to Beijing was only about two or three hundred people, and the fifth Qi secretly said:

This person is somewhat similar to Qin Jin's style, when Qin Jin traveled, he was near Chang'an, and there were only a dozen people with him, even in the counties farther away from Gyeonggi Province, there were only two or three hundred people with him.

This kind of situation absolutely did not exist in the past, for example, when Yang Guozhong or Li Linfu and other powerful ministers were in power, whenever they traveled, even in Chang'an City, they were accompanied by hundreds of people, and once they left the city, it was often more than a thousand people.

In addition to safety considerations, the most important thing is to demonstrate his own authority!

However, this habit was gradually changed after Qin Jin took charge of Chang'an, and the low-key gradually became imitated by officials, especially the governor of Hedong, who only brought two or three hundred people to Beijing to report on his work as a dignified border town marshal, which was also unprecedented.

"Xianggong, something is wrong!"

When Fifth Qi was looking at the back of Du Fu's horse team and secretly pondering, an assistant official whispered beside him with a serious face.

At first, Fifth Qi still listened to each sentence, but after a few sentences, his complexion changed suddenly.

"Who family dares to oppose the political hall like this?"

The official said softly:

"Daningfang Dugu Family!"

A fierce light appeared in the eyes of the fifth Qi, after Qin Jin's promise, he realized the opportunity, and now that someone bumped into him head-on, he was naturally happy to see it.

"Let's go, go back!"

……

It has been four years since he returned to Chang'an again and left at the beginning, and it is inevitable that there will be ripples in Du Fu's heart, but this ripple is only quiet at first glance. There was not the slightest fluctuation on his face, and the once poor and sour little official, who had nothing but a thick stack of poems, returned to Chang'an, and his status was no longer what it used to be.

"Fu Shuai, it's here!"

In front of him is the gate of the Shenwu Army Shuaitang, he has no home in Chang'an, so he naturally saves the trouble of going home, and then again, even if he has a family in the city, it is also business first for him.

The war in Hedong did not break out, taking advantage of this rare opportunity of calm, Du Fu returned to Chang'an, on the one hand, to discuss the plans of Hedong in the next few years, and on the other hand, the issue of the expansion of the Shenwu army. When it comes to the expansion of the army, neither Lu Qi, who is the envoy of Jiedu, nor Du Fu, who has the post of governor, has the right to decide.

Du Fu originally intended to let Lu Qi return to Beijing to report on his work, but the situation in Hedong suddenly recurred, and there were traces of Shi Siming's rebels in several mountain passes.

As a result, Lu Qi, who had more combat experience, could only stay in the town and return to Beijing by Du Fu.

Qin Jin was very happy when he learned that Du Fu had returned, and personally welcomed him out of the gate. Du Fu was low-key and didn't even send someone to the front station, and when he returned to Chang'an, he didn't use any privileges, and planned his itinerary in accordance with the existing regulations.

"After a few years, Du Gongqing has been reduced!"

Compared with a few years ago, Du Fu's face is more angular, his cheeks are sunken and his cheekbones are very prominent, but his eyes are bright and restrained.

Du Fu Shili said:

"If I can exchange peace in Hedong by myself, what's the matter? It's a pity that if the thief is not peaceful for a day, Hedong will not be at peace for a day!"

He came back this time to expand the army, of course, to expand the army for war, once there is a war, it will naturally not be a good thing for the people of Hedong. Du Fu is a compassionate official, Qin Jin treats the people as chess pieces, and can use and discard them at will, but in his place, he will never give up easily.

Looking at Du Fu with a dusty face, Qin Jin proposed that he should wash and bathe first, and it would not be too late to discuss serious matters after relieving his fatigue, after all, he would have to stay for at least three or five days after returning to Beijing, and many things would not be in a hurry even if he was in a hurry. According to Du Fu's idea, he naturally kept discussing the expansion of the army, but under Qin Jin's repeated insistence, he also agreed to relax and relieve fatigue first.

After washing and bathing, Du Fu took a nap again, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already afternoon. After putting on his purple robe, he hurriedly went to see Qin Jin, but when he saw Qin Jin, the other party had already changed into a brocade civilian clothes.

Qin Jin looked Du Fu up and down a few times, and said with a smile:

"Fu Shuai's purple robe is too eye-catching, let's go and change into ordinary civilian clothes, let's go out to eat!"

The cooks in the Shenwu Army are all born in military food, and the exquisite food is naturally inferior to those century-old wine shops in Chang'an City.

Today, Qin Jin is also a rare good interest, and he wants to drag Du Fu to the Qixian Building to open meat. This is indeed a meat opening for Qin Jin, the most important thing he pays attention to on weekdays is food and clothing, and all the uses are simple, including improving the brewing of clear tea is also adhering to the theme of everything being simple, abandoning the cumbersome brewing of tea soup.

In addition to Du Fu, Qin Jin is inseparable from Wu Hu Huaizhong, this fierce general from the Tongluo Department has been following Qin Jin for many years, repeatedly protecting Qin Jin on the battlefield, escaping death, originally rarely smiled, and today he also laughed a few words in blunt Chinese:

"Fu Shuai came back today, and I can be regarded as having been wiped out, and the coarse food in the army has long been eaten on weekdays, let alone drinking......"

Wu Hu Huaizhong's words are true, the military discipline of the Shenwu Army is very strict, and the soldiers are consistent, especially when it comes to eating, what ordinary soldiers eat, Qin Jin eats, and the rest of the generals naturally dare not engage in privileges, and over time this has become an unwritten rule in the Shenwu Army, and no one dares to violate it.

Du Fu was not entirely a serious and boring person, so he sighed and smiled:

"Doctor Qin's strict management of the army can be seen from this! Du Mou is also borrowing light to open meat today! Let's go, go to the Immortal Tower!"

Qin Jin grabbed Du Fu's purple robe and said with a smile:

"Fu Shuai will change out of the purple robe first and then go out!"

Du Fu suddenly patted his head.

"Yes, yes, yes, otherwise it won't be successful, but it will become a nuisance to the people!"

According to the custom, when the purple-robed ministers travel, they need to avoid on the street, which will of course cause trouble to the local people. The simple eunuch was dressed in a refreshing cloth robe, which was a bit like a Confucian student who had studied poetry and books, and the temperament of the purple-robed ministers had also faded a lot. Compared with Du Fu, Qin Jin wore a brocade robe, coupled with a well-repaired beard, and looked like a gentleman. Only Wuhu Huaizhong wears the Hu robe that the Hu people are accustomed to, which is not uncommon in the all-encompassing Chang'an. 、

Not to mention the prosperous situation of all countries coming to the dynasty during the Tianbao period, even now, walking on the street, Hu people from the Western Regions, or blond and blue-eyed people from foreign countries can be seen everywhere.

In order to get close to the people in the city, they walked on Chang'an Avenue on foot, and Du Fu kept sighing all the way:

"After leaving Chang'an for more than five years, I can't imagine that it is still the scene of the year!"

In Du Fu's imagination, Chang'an must have become much worse than before after experiencing two catastrophes, but there are no ruins and ruins in front of him, and even the people walking on the streets are difficult to see the fear and chaos after the war. As if those catastrophes had never happened!

Qin Jin said in a low voice:

"This is also thanks to Ma Xiangzhong Bajie's ambition, but as long as he has the intention of looting and leaving, I'm afraid that Chang'an at this time today is really only a ruin!"

When Du Fu heard this, he sighed again.

"The people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, don't say that the Hu people have never had a hundred years of national fortune, even if they enter the Central Plains, it is not so easy!"

Qixian Tower is in the most prosperous area of Chang'an City, and a group of three people arrived in less than a quarter of an hour. At the beginning, Du Fu was worried that Qin Jin would clear the field and disturb the people, but now it seems that he is too worried. Because the elegant seat upstairs was full, he waited downstairs for a while.

The three of them are all customers of Qixian Building, although the shop guys see that they are dressed luxuriously, they should not be ordinary people, but they are only regarded as officials or local gentry who have entered Beijing from other places. The people at the feet of the Son of Heaven naturally have a sense of superiority, even if they are nobles and nobles, as long as they are outsiders, the attitude of the shop guys is only polite and not polite.

Indeed, Qin Jin's accent is very different from that of Chang'an locals, Du Fu is silent, and Wuhu Huaizhong is even more born with a bearded face, so naturally he will not receive any care, and the three of them have to obediently sit at a temporary Hu table.

And Wuhu Huaizhong was originally from the nobility of the Tongluo tribe, and he was still able to abide by the military discipline of treating everyone equally in the army, but when he was snubbed in the market, he was a little annoyed.
