Han Zanzhou rode in an old-fashioned carriage, bumpy all the way from Nanjing, to Huai'an, and his bones were about to fall apart.

The carriage stopped in front of the Caoyun Governor's Palace, Han Zanzhou got out of the carriage, and the icy cold wind blew towards him, only to feel that his feet were soft, and he stumbled and almost didn't fall.

This situation reminded him of Yang Bo, and his new-style carriage, accustomed to sitting in the carriage of the stone temple, and it was unbearable to take this old-fashioned carriage again.

Seeing that it's the end of the year, count the days, Yang Bo has been on Peach Blossom Island for almost a full term, and it's time to come back, this kid is quite capable of tossing, this time he has been on Peach Blossom Island for so long, I don't know what he is tossing?

In front of you, stand side by side with three huge archways, the middle is the tallest, on the book 'important minister manager' four strong characters, the left and right two arches are slightly lower, on which respectively write 'total Shangguo' and 'autocratic Central Plains'.

Han Zan passed through Huai'an several times, each time in a hurry, and this was his first visit to the Governor's Palace.

The scale of these three arches is not small, the cold blue-gray tone, but it complements the street scene in the middle of winter, it looks cold and tall, solemn and solemn, quite a bit of the majesty of Xiao killing.

Han Zanzhou stayed in Nanjing, and waited for the emperor's secret decree, this time the emperor was very simple, and even directly gave Yang Bo the military post of guerrilla general, no need to wait for Liu Er's matter, it seems that Yang Bo defeated the Dutch again, which played a role, and it may also be that Liu Er tossed too much in Hongze Lake, which has threatened the safety of the canal transportation, and is in a hurry to obey the power.

The guerrilla general was a formal military position, and the Nanjing Military Department seemed to have been instructed without the slightest delay, and soon completed all the formalities, issued documents and seals, and even prepared a guerrilla general's armor for Yang Bo.

Han Zanzhou obviously felt that the matter was urgent, it must be that Liu Er was making waves again, and when he got the documents, he hurried to Huai'an, and he also had to meet with Yang Yipeng, the new governor of Caoyun, to discuss a charter, so that Yang Bo could send troops as soon as possible.

Yang Yipeng, Han Zanzhou has seen it in the capital, but it is just a one-sided relationship, not familiar, at that time, Yang Yipeng was just a soldier from the third grade? Now that he has been transferred to the governor of Caoyun, even if he is promoted to one level, he is only a third-grade official, and he is appointed as the governor of Caoyun, which is considered to be a low-grade and high-grade appointment.

It is said that this person is quite honest and honest as an official, good at financial management, and practice, most of them were officials in Banzhou, Shu and other frontier areas, in Banzhou, the local barbarians were in turmoil, Yang Yipeng was ordered to suppress and appease both, and quickly calmed down the situation, so he was transferred to Huai'an, and the emperor probably liked that he had suppressed bandits and had experience.

Liu Er of Hongzehu has been in trouble for a long time, the former governor Wang Ximing was ineffective in suppressing bandits, and the officers and troops of Huai'anwei and Dahewei suffered repeated defeats, Chongzhen was angry, and reprimanded Wang Ximing's corpse vegetarian meal, demoted him, and now only the official position of Huai'an prefect remains.

About Yang Yipeng, there are a lot of Han Zanzhou does not know, some subtle changes have occurred, this is due to Yang Bo, historically, at this time Yang Yipeng is in Dali Temple, after which the official worships the Ministry of Household Shangshu, five years later transferred to the governor of Caoyun.

Moreover, he is also the saddest one among the previous governors of Caoyun in the Ming generation.

Chongzhen eight years, that is, in the first month of 1635, Li Zicheng led the Kou soldiers, captured Fengyang, destroyed the ancestral tomb of the old Zhu family, stayed in the capital below the prime minister of Zhu, tens of thousands of officials and people were killed, Yang Yipeng stationed in Huai'an, the road is far away, it is too late to save, Chongzhen was angry with him afterwards, and sentenced Yang Bo Yipeng to the felony of losing the imperial tomb, and was decided.

And in this life, due to the appearance of Yang Bo, will Yang Yipeng's fate take a turn and escape this catastrophe? It is not yet known.

Han Zanzhou calmed down a little, and then walked straight forward, in front of which was the gate of the Caoyun Ministry, the two stone lions at the door, all snow-white, tall and mighty, placed on the three-foot high platform, Han Zanzhou knew that this pair of stone lions had some origins, and it was said that they were paid tribute from Persia.

Just as he was about to explain his confession, Zuo Wencan flashed out from behind the stone lion, obviously, Zuo Wencan was waiting for him on a special trip, his face turned blue from the cold, and it was estimated that he had been waiting for a while.

Seeing that Han Zanzhou finally arrived, Zuo Wencan didn't care about saying much, so he led the way and led Han Zanzhou into the gate of the ministry.

The two bypassed the Daguan Building, passed through the second gate, and came to the official hall near the left side of the second hall.

"Sit."

Seeing Han Zan coming in on Tuesday, Yang Yipeng only spit out one word, his eyes swept over the two, and then he buried his head again and continued to write.

Zuo Wencan entered the official hall, he was honestly afraid, his butt fell on the chair, he didn't dare to sit down, he lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, his eyes stared at the green bricks at his feet, and a few ants were drilling into the cracks of the bricks.

The house is quiet, sloppy, brushing...

Yang Yipeng just took care of the dragon snake with his pen, and from time to time he picked up the tea Wan'er, took a sip, and then continued to write, as if the two of them did not exist.

Han Zanzhou recognized that the paper was a special paper for the chapter, and Yang Yipeng should be writing the chapter.

After just a cup of tea, Yang Yipeng finally stopped his pen, blew the written paper, folded it again and again, and carefully put it into his arms, and then raised his eyes to look over.

"You came at the right time, in the past six months, there have been a lot of incidents in Haizhou, and this governor is about to talk to the two of you." Yang Yipeng's eyes turned to Zuo Wencan, a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "I heard that Lord Zuo's wife is also going to Shenjiabao to serve as the principal of the women's school?" ”

"This.." Zuo Wencan's heart froze, and he was speechless for a while, but he saw Yang Yipeng wave his hand and said: "This governor knows a little bit, Lord Zuo doesn't have to be embarrassed." ”

Yang Yipeng didn't let Zuo Wencan continue, took a thick fur hat, stood up, and said to Han Zanzhou: "Xiangwen, this governor goes outside to blow the wind, change his brain, and walk with me?" ”

When Zuo Wencan heard this, his heart was cold.

In the officialdom, Shangguan's every move, every look has a deep meaning, Yang Yipeng's posture is already obvious, this is clearly telling him that he is not welcomed, Zuo Wencan has been in the officialdom for a long time, how can he not see it.

This is the worst ending, although he had a premonition, but when it came to the end, Zuo Wencan still couldn't accept it, and he was afraid that his career was coming to an end.

Zuo Wencan stood there, looking embarrassed, at a loss for a moment.

"Oh.." Yang Yipeng got up and walked out, glanced at Zuo Wencan, and said: "Ben Du and Xiangwen will catch up first, you are bored and panicked when you stay here alone, you... You go to the next room to talk to Cheng Weizheng. ”

"Governor, it's okay to take a walk outside, we don't have to say anything, it's just that it's extremely cold outside, if the Governor freezes his body, our family can't afford it." Han Zanzhou smiled, flattered.

Han Zanzhou is still too young (Tian) light (true), he really thought that Yang Yipeng wanted to catch up with him, after all, not long ago, he was just a little eunuch in the palace of King Xin, and he was really not familiar with the officialdom.

Yang Yipeng smiled, "I think back then, the Savage Mountain in Banzhou, the dam in western Sichuan, and the Evil Wolf Valley in Shaanxi, the old man didn't know how many times he had experienced it before and after, and his body was strong, so why should he be treated with Xiangwen?" ”

Zuo Wencan watched the two of them drift apart, but he remembered someone, and suddenly felt indignant in his heart, the look on his face gradually turned cold, and a trace of cold light flashed in his eyes.

That person was Yang Bo, looking at him with a smile, very badly beaten, Zuo Wencan hated to break him into thousands of pieces, and then crush his bones and scatter ashes.

Outside the house, the water drips into ice, and the northwest wind blows in the ears, blowing on the face, like a knife, blowing on the body, pervasive, cold to the bones.

However, Han Zanzhou was in a good mood, and followed Yang Yipeng diligently, and the two walked on a sidewalk, which was paved with small stones and led to the garden behind the second hall.

"This governor has read what Xie Wenzhi wrote, tell me, what kind of character is this Yang Bo?" Yang Yipeng walked in front of him with a large stride, and asked without looking back.

Isn't it talking about reminiscence? How do you talk about Yang Bolai?

Han Zanzhou was stunned for a moment, and quickly understood that the reminiscence in Yang Yipeng's mouth was just an excuse, and it was Yang Bo who wanted to learn from him.

When the conversation opened, he couldn't stop, from Zheng Shicong to Qiu Sizhou, as well as Yang Bo's big projects, the July No., the Burisham, etc., all came together, some things, Han Zanzhou just heard people, and some things he personally experienced, such as Yang Bo's capture of the July No.

Yang Yipeng listened carefully and asked from time to time, especially interested in Yang Bo's 'Home Ownership' project, and asked a lot of questions.

Han Zanzhou tended to think that Yang Bo's intentions were very big, and there was a lot of worry between his words, but Yang Yipeng didn't seem to be worried at all, which was somewhat unexpected by Han Zanzhou.

Ahead came to an artificial pond, all frozen, there are some dead lotus leaves on the ice, there are no life, there are a few old pines on the shore, there is a curved corridor around a rockery, the curved corridor is connected with a pavilion, this place is the famous to come to the crane Xuan.

The two walked to Hexuan, Yang Yipeng beckoned Han Zanzhou to sit down on the bench, took a breath, and said: "Two times against the Dutch, both won a big victory, it seems that Yang Bo does have some ability, but I don't know if it can be used by me?" ”

Yang Yipeng came to take office this time, not only to supervise Caoyun and the four prefectures in Jiangbei, but Chongzhen also added a ministry to him, and also took care of coastal defense.

This can make it difficult for Yang Yipeng, in the Huaiyang area, the official army and naval division do not even have a decent sea ship, there is almost no defense, and the defense fort on the coast has long been abandoned for many years because of the absence of Japanese invaders, so how can he take care of coastal defense.

Yang Bo can defeat the Dutch twice, which shows that the strength is not bad, if Yang Bo can be used by him, Yang Yipeng's difficulties will naturally be solved.

Probably, the emperor also had this thought, but he didn't say it.

"Yang Bo, this kid, to the court, to the government... How to say it.." Han Zanzhou scratched his ears and cheeks, racked his brains, and couldn't find a suitable adjective, "Or in his words, the sense of distance.."

"Distance?" Yang Yipeng turned his head to look at it and said strangely: "You mean it looks raw?" ”

"Yes, yes, it's a raw point, he doesn't seem to have a good impression of the government." Han Zanzhou hurriedly said.

Yang Yipeng looked at the pond in front of him, his eyes stopped on the withered lotus leaves, and sighed: "It's no wonder that there are indeed unsatisfactory places in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty now. He turned around and said to Han Zanzhou: "This governor wants to meet this Yang Bo." ”

"Commander, are you planning to let Yang Bo come to Huai'an?" Han Zanzhou was taken aback, and said with a hesitant expression: "It's just that Yang Bo's kid went to the Zhoushan area a few days ago, and it's almost over, so I don't know if I'll come back?" ”

"Xiangwen, aren't you also going to Shenjiabao to announce Yang Bo's appointment? The Governor also wants to go, so let us go together. ”
