Jin Jian stood up, he was burdened with heavy responsibilities, and the information that was collected on his desk every day was piled up, and he really didn't have the effort to spend here, and the matter of dealing with Li Gu tonight was also because Wang Shang's return to Fuzhou was imminent, and these trivial matters needed to be dealt with in place.

After getting up, with a slight groan, Jin Jian made a powerful hand gesture.

A military intelligence officer walked quickly behind the Pu family and stabbed him hard with a short knife in his hand.

The Pu family was strangled by two strong men, although their eyes rolled and they struggled with their dead force, but the pain in their backs was unabated, and the person who stabbed him was still turning the handle of the knife in the back of his heart, and this person soon stared at the two dead eyes, and blood flowed out of his eyes, mouth and nose.

"Dispose of the body," Jin Jian said casually, "Now is not the time to move the Pu family." ”

Many military intelligence personnel do not know the overall situation, the Pu family is now living in Quanzhou, and there are many eyeliners to inquire about the news every day, unless both internal and external efforts are carried out, and a large army is dispatched to clean up, otherwise the Pu family is bound to flee.

It's not that I'm worried that the Pu family will be able to do something earth-shattering if they escape, but Xu Zixian deliberately keeps the Pu family and gives them the opportunity to cooperate with the outside world, and when the time comes, the Pu family and Pu Xingfeng will be uprooted, which is what Xu Zixian wants to do the most.

The matter in front of him was just an ordinary thing for these military intelligence personnel, but Li Gu's heart was beating when he saw it, and at this moment he realized that he and others thought that they had a deep plan, but in the eyes of others, they were like watching the fire, which was simply ridiculous.

As soon as he thought of this, this staff member, who had always prided himself on being clever and tried to keep his waist straight after being arrested, couldn't help but collapse his waist, as if he had been drained of his spirit.

Jin Jian's face showed contempt, and he no longer spoke much to this person, and only ordered, "Keep an eye on Zhao Wangfu, inform Zheng Ti of the punishment, and use the people from the robbery camp to send people from Zhao Wangfu back to the palace, without our king's warrant, Zhao Wangfu is not allowed to release even a fly!" ”

……

When it was dawn, he suddenly heard that the city was full of noise and noise, Xu Xiashang woke up from his sleep and asked unconsciously, "What happened in the city?" ”

The entourage's cronies had already inquired about the news, and when they heard the words, they entered the inner room and said, "Xiangye, it is His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan who has entered the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city have heard about this and have gone to the city gate to greet them." ”

Xu Xiashang was a little tired, but he still smiled and said, "It turned out that His Royal Highness returned to the city, of course, it was not for me, but for the edict in the old man's hand." ”

He smiled and said, "Of course, I also admire Xiangguo, Xiangguo is an elder of the clan, and he has been in Beijing for Xiangguo for many years, and he has a lot of support for His Royal Highness King Zhongshan......"

"Don't talk about these old things." Xu Xiashang waved his hand and said, "After that, if the old man wants to live in Fuzhou, he has to rely on the King of Zhongshan." ”

Having said that, Xu Xiashang is still a little reserved, after all, as he said in front of him, he is a famous Confucian at home, has been in the country for many years, and has returned to his hometown to live, of course, he wants to live a comfortable life for a few days, at this time Xu Xiashang is also a little complacent, after all, he still has a vision, if it weren't for Xu Zixian's more support back then, the current situation would be a little embarrassing.

When Xu Xiashang was washing and changing clothes, the noise in the city became louder and louder, which also made Xu Xiashang slightly enlightened, it seems that his previous information was not sufficient, and the prestige of Xu Zixian, the king of Zhongshan, in Fuzhou was so high that it had exceeded his imagination.

Yesterday, before and after Xu Xiashang entered the city, there were a lot of onlookers, and people were indeed full of curiosity and awe about this rumored Confucian minister, the old minister of the Four Dynasties, and the Xiangguo, and quite a lot of officials, gentry, and students all showed this

。

But as now, the city is jubilant, the cheers almost break through the sky, compared with the two, the prestige of the seventy-year-old Xiangguo in the eyes of the hometown is not as good as a twenty-year-old young prince, Xu Xiashang thought about it, almost slightly embarrassed.

However, in the blink of an eye, the mentality also calmed down.

Fuzhou was besieged a while ago, the thieves were ferocious and violent, if the city of Fuzhou was broken, I don't know how many people would die, how many wives would be separated, not to mention Li Kaiming's bandits, it was Yan Qi's pirates who came to attack, and the whole city was not also panicked?

After thinking about it, Xu Xiashang felt a little depressed, upholding national politics for many years, although he did not reach the top to become the left servant, that is, the left minister of the first civil official, but after all, he is also the right minister, holding real power, the national economy and the people's livelihood, but under his own control, day by day is not as good as day by day. The external troubles are not stopped, and the internal worries are frequent, I really don't know where Dawei will slide? Of course, this is related to the stubbornness of today's son, his impatience, his poor level of handling military and political affairs, and his inability to recognize and employ people, but on the whole, the morale of the people in the Great Wei Dynasty is sluggish, and the official style is corrupt, and it is not all about the Chongde period.

Fortunately, there is still the king of Zhongshan in the southeast!

When Xu Xiashang changed into an official hat with a foot and a head, a purple round-necked official robe, a jade belt, and a goldfish bag, etc., although the eyebrows were white, the waist was slightly bowed, and the image of the important minister of the country was also fully revealed, at this time the noise outside had reached the outside of the Confucian Fang, and soon after Lin Douyao, Yang Shiwei, Zheng Liqi, Xiao Zan, Zhao Debang and other officials arrived, all the officials were dressed exquisitely, Lin Douyao first said to Xu Xiashang, "The criminal official should also ask the old minister to appease the envoy to preside over the edict." ”

In the edict, there is also a disposition of King Zhao, Lin Douyao, Liu Guangsi and others, which is based on the matter in front of them, but it is not Lin Douyao, the pacification envoy of Fujian Road, who can preside over it.

The carriages and horses in front of the gate have been prepared, and more than 1,000 people have come to the robbery camp and the government officials to maintain order, and the crowd is like a stream of water, and the road has been opened up from the middle.

When to pacify the envoy outside the government, the crowd gathers more densely, here is the center of the city, the square paved with square bricks is huge, there are many archways, stone tablets, pavilions and other buildings.

This official office that sits in the north and faces south is the center of gravity of Fujian Road, covering an area of about 30 acres, the square outside is also more than 10 acres large, the opposite side is the school palace, one on the left and right sides is the yamen of the punishment envoy, the other is the system of the envoy, several yamen together occupy a very wide area, and it is also the ruling center of the military states of Fujian Prefecture.

At this time, the open space outside the yamen was full of people, but when Xu Xiashang arrived, there was an open space in front of him.

There were about 100 cavalry, holding and leading the horses, and no one dared to crowd around...... This is not surprising, with Xu Xiashang's experience, although he is a civilian official, he has also served as a pacification envoy, and he has also had the experience of commanding generals and envoys. Judging from Xu Xiashang's experience and vision, he was also surprised by the knight in front of him.

Many of the cavalrymen were expressionless, their eyes were sharp and indifferent, and although the crowd around them was enthusiastic, these cavalrymen only looked around with vigilant and cold eyes, which made many gentry and people dare not approach too closely, and people were shocked by the murderous aura of these cavalry......

In addition to holding shields, most of these knights also held shields, and dozens of horses were spread out into a fan shape, half lifting the large shield more than one person high, so that even if there was a cold arrow shooting from a distance, it would be completely blocked by the giant shield.

Xu Xiashang noticed the details of these rides

Most of the soldiers had blood stains on their bodies, and some of the smudges on the cavalry and war horses had dried up and solidified, and the black-purple blood stains were quite conspicuous and dazzling.

As for the marks of swords and axes on the armor, most of these cavalrymen wore one-piece forged armor, and many of them had obvious holes pierced or pierced at the front of the armor, and there were many long or short scratches......

"Mingda, your subordinates seem to have experienced a hard battle."

Xu Xiashang has not seen these wolf-like soldiers for many years, he once served as Qin Fenglu's pacification envoy, and when his subordinates fought with Xiqiang or Beiyu, they also walked down from the battlefield with a murderous aura, this kind of aura seems to be an exaggeration of literati, but in fact, it is quite obvious and certain.

However, Qin Feng's forbidden army is not inferior in terms of temperament, and its physique is still above the Fujian army, but this kind of neat queue and military slaughter pattern is obviously inferior to Qin Feng's forbidden army.

When Xu Zixian came over with a smile and saluted Xu Xiashang, Lao Xiangguo was also quite emotional, and praised one after another, "No wonder the Zhongshan army is invincible, and sure enough, your subordinates are all tigers and wolves." ”

"The old Xiangguo has won the award." Xu Zixian bowed and was very respectful.

The ethics and character of this old man with eyebrows, as well as the siphoning effect on talented people that he will form in Fuzhou, are also quite obvious, and they should be a big help. Moreover, Xu Xiashang's care for Xu Zixian was not fake, when Xu Zixian first started, he was just a son of the Houfu, with no power, no power, and no financial resources, if it wasn't for the appreciation of the old Xiangguo and His Royal Highness King Qi, the rise would be so fast, if it weren't for the old man in front of him, I'm afraid it would not be able to do so now.

It is because although Xu Zixian is also wearing a purple robe, and his rank is only one level inferior to the old man in front of him, he is still very respectful, and he has not returned from a big victory and will be the proud posture of opening the mansion.

Not far away, Chen Dujing also bowed slightly, of course he was extremely satisfied with the son-in-law in front of him. Outstanding military achievements, invincible, this is the first class of good men among men.

"It's a lot of courtesy." Xu Xiashang was slightly moved, his white eyebrows stirred a few times, he stepped forward, held Xu Zixian's hand, and said, "The old man will retire in Fuzhou, and after that, he will be honored and disgraced, and he will be entrusted to Mingda." ”

"Old Xiangguo rest assured, rest assured." Xu Zixian said calmly, "This premise is a personal favor, so that people at home like Lao Xiangguo and the old ministers of the four dynasties live in peace, it is the duty of the prince of the Great Wei Dynasty to open the palace, and it should be the same for both public and private." ”

At this point, Xu Xiashang nodded with a smile and said, "Since this is the case, the old man should issue an edict here." ”

Xu Zi nodded first, then took a few steps back, waiting for Xu Xiashang to read the edict.

At this time, the soldiers who did not wait for the capture and robbery camp shouted and reprimanded, or whipped and intimidated, and all the onlookers and ordinary people held their breath and waited for the edict to be issued.

Since the beginning of the country, there have been no generals and ministers to open a mansion, let alone a prince. At the beginning of the country, the kings, ministers, and generals were all famous ministers above the history of the country, in folk parlance it was the graphic Lingyan Pavilion, and then more than 200 years, the Son of Heaven guarded the country, the prime minister ruled the center, the cardinal envoy controlled the forbidden army, the local pacification, the system, the punishment, the transfer of the four envoys to share the civil affairs, the law, the military, the financial affairs, and then the patrol and supervision, the rights and responsibilities were clear, and the local political operation was smooth, of course, there was no need to set up the opening of the house, so as not to become a big tail.

Xu Zixian opened the mansion with the dignity of a prince, just like a prince, because when Xu Xiashang was about to start reading, everyone present held their breath, and the atmosphere was also a little tense......
