Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 76 It's a Little Messy
A holy decree from the imperial study was sent to Dali Temple, and Xuanping Hou was released from prison.
Also on the same day, the remnants of the Chenghua Gang fled overseas, leaving only a few corpses.
Half a month later, things changed again.
Qingzhou has long been a pen waved at will in the prince's hand, and the verbal criticism can be started.
The prefect of Qingzhou said that King Xian intended to let go of the salt criminals, and also fought with the local officials in Yangzhou, and for a time the public opinion in Yangzhou was in an uproar, and it seemed that some people did not believe that His Majesty the emperor really loved these people of the previous dynasty.
The people are afraid that if they make the prince unhappy one day, they will end up like the Dongtai Zhixian County.
The matter is not over, Li Yuanhuan, the king of Xianwang, was in a hurry to advance, and he forcibly requisitioned fishing boats, so that the fishermen in the East China Sea actually wrote bloody letters, risking death to skip the ranks, which is tantamount to adding insult to injury for the king.
However, what made Xi Yuanxiu and others find it interesting was that Zhou Wenbin actually supported the king, and in the afternoon of the same day, the military eagle falcon sent a holy decree urgently, and Zhou Wenbin was appointed as the prefect of Yangzhou and took office immediately.
The next day after half a month.
Qingzhou.
The prince is in a study at the moment, pacing back and forth, muttering in his mouth: "It's really interesting, can't even this bring him down, ten thousand blood books, plus a Qingzhou prefect, how much ability has he had over the years?" ”
The Qingzhou prefect beside the prince stood aside a little nervously, not knowing how to answer his words.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a bad temper, it is a matter that has been spread all over Jingguo, even if he doesn't dare to do anything too much to him, the prefect of Yangzhou, he doesn't want to be scolded for no reason.
The crown prince was a little annoyed, because his uncle told him not to engage in these innocuous fights with the king first.
But he just couldn't get angry, and there was a letter written by Wang Xiangguo on the desk in the study, persuading him to honestly clean up the affairs of Qingzhou and not do more.
"You talk about this old thing, I don't have the guts, is it possible for me to become like him, timid, Chai Song entered the prison of Dali Temple that day, he should be pressed inside!"
After the prince finished speaking, he picked up the letter, clutched it in his hand, looked at the Qingzhou prefect and continued: "Silent, it's good now, my father released a holy decree to him again, do you think he is old and confused, soft egg?" ”
When the prefect of Qingzhou heard the prince say this, he knelt directly on the ground and said tremblingly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't be angry, maybe Lord Xiangguo also has something unspeakable!" ”
"What is unspeakably hidden, the grand Xiangguo, and the uncle of the country, this palace is really..."
The prince almost crushed the letter in his hand, and when he finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, as if he could dissipate the deflated food on the king with this breath.
The prefect of Qingzhou was still lying on the ground, and he didn't dare to take a breath.
However, no one mentioned the new prefect of Yangzhou, because they didn't think that his kind of person would be in the same league as Chai Song and others.
......
......
Yangzhou.
The guards beside Zhou Wenbin felt that this Lord Zhou, who had been with him for some years, was a little unfathomable at this time.
Zhou Wenbin also had a letter on his desk, which was written to him by Xuanping Hou.
Xuanping Hou actually has a wonderful relationship with Zhou Wenbin, the two can be called the same family, but they are completely different from each other.
Chai Song's method of winning over Zhou Wenbin is also very simple, he has never said to the latter about the party struggle, he just told Zhou Wenbin that he can do everything he wants, petition for the people, and serve the country wholeheartedly.
But there is only one thing, if it is to his liking to do things, then please help him with one or two.
And yesterday, Zhou Wenbin did it.
It wasn't that he didn't think the 10,000 blood books were unimportant, for he had seen the fishermen ignore the remnants of the Salt Gang as they fled the sea.
He had also seen how the Dongtai Zhixian County assigned government soldiers to fight with Yangzhou soldiers.
He had a measuring stick in his heart, and he thought that what the king had done was right, and those who resisted should be killed, and those fishermen who did not know the harm should be ignored.
He knew that he was no longer the child who came out of the mountain village.
It can't be said that he has changed, it can only be said that the position he is in at this time is no longer up to him.
If you ask for your life for the people, you should also see what kind of people you are asking for and what kind of life you are asking for.
Zhou Wenbin looked at the guards around him and knew that he was a little critical of himself.
"You know that I am not such a person, I can see too many corrupt officials and people, I have actually changed a long time ago!"
The guard nodded in response, knowing that what Zhou Wenbin said was true.
But Zhou Wenbin's next words made him shocked and frightened.
"That Xu Shaoxia said that I was pedantic, but I think Your Majesty is even more pedantic, I want to treat those barbarians in Xiliang back then, Your Majesty didn't directly fight westward, and only then did you stop until the other party destroyed the country, but now I am afraid that these remnants of Dongyue will be rebellious, and appeased everywhere, it seems that Your Majesty is old after all!"
When the guard was frightened, he didn't forget to cover Zhou Wenbin's mouth, for fear that others would listen to him.
"My lord, I'm afraid you're going to die, if you are listened to by those people in the mirage, you will lose your head!"
The guard's voice was so low that only the two of them could hear it.
Zhou Wenbin shook the guard's hand aside, and said loudly: "What if they listen to it, is it that Your Majesty is pedantic and can't allow others to say it, if it is really Your Majesty back then, how can you let Xue Luping's life be left until you enter the capital to face the saint, I'm afraid it will be killed long ago!" ”
The guard knew that Zhou Wenbin said so loudly that it was deliberate, and he would rather be captured by those people and face the saint himself than be indecisive on his majesty's part.
But Zhou Wenbin didn't know that at this time, a person outside the door quietly left.
......
......
In half a month, Scoop City can be said to have become the busiest place in Jingguo.
Because in recent days, important news has been passed on from Qingyang, Chang'an, the Golden Horde, and other two countries, and there are more and more things that need to be decided by Xi Yuanxiu.
Aside from the matter of Qingyang and Yangzhou, in Chang'an, the Lord Xiangguo fell ill in bed for some reason, claiming that he only felt a cold occasionally, but no one thought so.
The old khan of the Golden Horde, Chan, was located in his son, and the court was divided, and for a time it became a mess.
Nanzhao's matter is much more interesting, Yu Jia, the director of the Ren family, personally came to the palace, refused this family business, and after returning home that day, he stabbed four elders in the family.
The incident of Beiwei happened at the border pass, which is related to the last seizure of the ore vein.
And the Northern Guard military actually led the army back by Cheng Qingzhi, who had not appeared for many years, and it seemed that there was some posture of breaking the net, and the last news was also what Xi Yuanxiu was most interested in.
