Chapter 139: The Emperor's Death
When Ling Xia and Xia Ning'er rushed to the yamen of the governor's mansion in Liulijiang, the governors of the ten provinces of Liulijiang, the political envoys, the commanders of the military aircraft, and the great superintendents of the territorial united front had all gathered in front of the yamen of the governor's mansion to wait for the summons.
"Meet the princess and congratulate her on her promotion to the governor of Liulijiang."
"Meet the colt and congratulate him on being named the first warrior."
After the forty civil and military officials saw Ling Xia and the two, they immediately bowed their hands, and after Xia Ning'er ordered the exemption, everyone stepped forward in turn to introduce themselves, Ling Xia observed everyone, while silently remembering each other's names, after a while, forty people had already introduced themselves, and then, everyone asked Xia Ning'er and Ling Xia to inspect the yamen of the governor's mansion.
Unlike the dilapidated and deserted Ziyanjiang Governor's Palace, the Liulijiang Governor's Mansion Yamen is very clean and tidy, although the architectural layout of the two Governor's Palaces is almost the same, but the Governor's Mansion Yamen here is obviously higher.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a unicorn stone statue standing on both sides of the gate, the stone statue is almost more than two meters high, the carving is lifelike, it looks both shocking and imposing, there are ten war guards on both sides of the stone statue, and there are soldiers patrolling in front of the door.
On the west side of the yamen of the governor's palace there is a team of 100 people, they are responsible for guarding the safety of the yamen of the governor's palace, after entering the door, the courtyard is full of all kinds of flowers, the maid ring and servants who are responsible for serving are more than 20 people, after seeing the princess, they have saluted and worshipped.
After going around the mansion, Xia Ning'er was very satisfied, and when she came to the conference hall, Xia Ning'er sat in the main seat, Ling Xia sat next to her, there were twenty generals sitting on the left, and twenty civil servants sitting on the right, everyone looked happy.
After talking with those people for a while, Ling Xia gradually understood that the reason why Liulijiang was so harmonious and there was no deep civil and military estrangement was all due to the former governor Dou Baoguang, who was worried that there would be a civil and military discord in the jurisdiction, so he thought of a way.
He asked the civilian officials to assist in military affairs, and everyone went to the border line to garrison the war zone, and changed the defense every two years.
Over the past few decades, these civil servants and generals have basically cooperated with each other, and they have a comradeship with each other, and most of them are married, and they are either in-laws or comrades-in-arms with each other, so everyone has tolerated each other.
Although there will be some small friction occasionally because of the difference in the concept of government affairs, but it is all at the level of work, as soon as there is a dispute, someone will come forward to coordinate, if the difference is large, it will be ruled by the governor, so over the years, Liulijiang has always been a monolith.
Ling Xia admired Dou Baoguang's hard work very much, he praised it in public, and encouraged the princess to continue to implement this plan and unite the civil and military forces in the jurisdiction.
At noon that day, Ling Xia and Xia Ning'er participated in the reception banquet held by everyone, the banquet was very simple, although there was no big deal, but the taste was delicious, seeing that Ling Xia and the two of them ate with relish, everyone proposed to compete with Ling Xia for the amount of wine.
At this time, Ling Xia remembered the disaster area in his heart, and some couldn't drink it, seeing Ling Xia's preoccupied appearance, everyone asked the reason, and learned that Ling Xia was worried about the things in the disaster area, and everyone praised Ling Xia for caring for the people.
Speaking of this, everyone shouted outside, and after a while, hundreds of catchers walked into the courtyard carrying two hundred heavy wooden boxes, and then, those governors told Ling Xia that they were two million jade coins, which were donated by the ten provinces of Liulijiang to the disaster area.
Looking at Ling Xia's surprised eyes, everyone explained, they had long known that the governor of Ziyanjiang was a concubine, and the princess was concurrently serving as a concubine for the time being, so that the two frontiers were a family, and now that there was a natural disaster in Ziyanjiang, how could they sit idly by.
Because of the expenses and material supplies to be maintained by the ten legions, the burden on the governors and yamen was very heavy, but no matter how difficult the matter was, the disaster victims could not be left alone, so the provinces and the commanders discussed and temporarily suspended the payment of the salaries and materials of the ten major legions.
donated the money saved to the disaster areas of Ziyanjiang, each province made up 200,000 jade coins, and the ten provinces made up a total of 2 million jade coins.
Ling Xia and Xia Ning'er didn't expect this result, looking at the smiling group of civil and military ministers in front of them, feeling the kindness of everyone, Ling Xia sighed sincerely: "In these years, unity is strength." ”
Joyful and happy, Ling Xia also put down the shelf, he competed with the generals present to test the amount of wine, and the Wenchen present to test the poetry, during which he drank to the fullest, several commanders of the general army challenged Xia Ning'er to test martial arts with Xia Ning'er.
As a result, Xia Ning'er fought against the five commanders of the general army alone with one enemy and five, these five people were all at the peak of internal strength, and they were already first-class masters, but Xia Ning'er only used thirty moves to defeat those five people, and after the defeat, the five commanders of the general army were convinced.
Lost to Xia Ning'er in the competition, they can't drink, Ling Xia's amount of alcohol is not covered, I saw him a left glass, a right cup, after saluting Wenchen and respecting the generals, after saluting this table and that table, after a competition, everyone was drunk and unconscious, and Ling Xia was only slightly drunk.
Stayed overnight from the Governor's Palace, and the next morning, Ling Xia led those catchers back to Ziyan Territory, while Xia Ning'er did not go back, she also had to go to the front line of the border to visit the soldiers who guarded the territory, and also went to various mansions to inspect local government affairs.
After Ling Xia returned to Ziyan Territory, he called all the ten general soldiers over, and he distributed all the two million jade coins to everyone, so that they could use the money for disaster relief.
To tell the truth, it was rare for them to see so many funds replenished, and after hearing Ling Xia's instructions, Yue Yunding and the others immediately said that they would make good use of every penny and spend all this money on the disaster victims, and would never fill their own pockets and squander the people's life-saving money.
With the joint help of the local yamen and the military, all the victims have been properly resettled, the wounded have been almost treated, human and animal carcasses have been cleaned up, and the rubble and roads are being repaired and cleared.
Because of Ling Xia's effective governance and clear rewards and punishments, he has accumulated super high popularity and prestige in just a few days, and the victims are grateful to Ling Xia from the bottom of their hearts.
Time was lost day by day, and three months later, all the soldiers of the Battle Flag Division actually rushed to the disaster area, which was a month earlier than the time Ling Xia had scheduled.
Just when the soldiers under his command rushed to the fiefdom and Ling Xia was about to make a drastic move, a shocking news came from the imperial capital, and the emperor Xia Ding died last night.
