The first among the civil and military officials after the county king is, of course, the governor of Sichuan, Liao Daheng.

Liao Daheng's complexion is very good, and his ruddy and plump face is in stark contrast to Chen Shiqi's emaciated sallow color not far away. After receiving Cheng Xiangfeng's report in the morning, Liao Daheng immediately gathered officials at all levels in Chengdu Prefecture and County, and personally led the Fubiao soldiers to the front line.

Liao didn't know much about the plague, but he knew that the plague was epidemic during the Lu'an Rebellion, which once affected the army's operations. His previous career experience was mainly dealing with soldiers and bandits, and he had never been a pro-people official in a prefecture or county. Even if there is a large-scale plague in the place, it has nothing to do with him. But that's no longer the case. He has just passed the test politically, and he is still in the stage of "observing the after-effects". He is the governor of a province, and if there is a major epidemic in the provincial capital, the local situation cannot be controlled, and he cannot escape the blame. He recently received a report from Zhang Jimeng, the prefect of Boryeong, who was forwarded by the Chief Minister, saying that the plague was raging north of Boryeong Province, and even some villages died. This may be a trick for Zhang Jimeng to shift responsibility for Bazhou's failure, but the information he received from other sources confirms that it is likely to be true. In addition to the news of the plague in the province, there is also a written description of the plague rampant in the Northland. "Ten do not save one", this sentence in the Di newspaper made Liao Tycoon remember deeply.

Zhu Pingjin's attitude of attaching importance to this matter made him feel the severity of the form. The four masters in his family once analyzed the style of the prince for him, and they all thought that the prince was extremely accurate and ruthless. For example, in the battle of Pengshan Jiangkou, the soldiers ambushed on the road of the bandits' homing, and the soldiers annihilated tens of thousands of bandits without blood, which made Liao Daheng, who had been fighting horses for more than ten years, also amazed. The prince suddenly asked his cronies to report the news quickly, and personally summoned the civil and military officials of Shudi, either with ulterior motives, or the epidemic has already burned his eyebrows. As for Shizi's judgment on the epidemic, Liao Daheng is very confident. His future father-in-law is the most famous miracle doctor in Chengdu, how could he make a mistake?

It is based on these considerations that Liao Daheng not only personally ordered troops and generals to escort the patients and their families home, but also ordered that all the neighborhoods near the patients were blocked, and they were not allowed to enter or leave. It's just that there are at least thousands of people in these neighborhoods, and these people want to eat and drink, and it is obviously not a long-term solution to surround them. Therefore, he also hopes that today's court meeting can reach a clear result under the chairmanship of the prince. If the plague were to spread, his responsibility would be much less.

Liu Zhibo, the new governor of Sichuan, sat quietly among the officials. He observes Zhu Pingjian. On the dragon chair, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, with a broad Chinese face inherited from the heavenly family, a plain crown and linen robe, looks very ordinary, not handsome, but looks high-spirited and confident. In front of a large group of officials in their forties and fifties, or even in their sixties, Gu Pan's expression was calm and natural, without the slightest nervousness or shyness that teenagers of this age often show. This couldn't help but remind him of his majesty's speech before leaving Beijing. It is also on such a platform in front of the palace, and also on such a dragon chair, that there is a dragon son and phoenix grandson. It's just that the supreme of the world who is in the prime of life, facing the empire under the river, his face looks extremely haggard, and his expression is very helpless. For the Sichuan patrol who is about to take office, it is just a few simple and ordinary words of encouragement, and there is no such thing as face-to-face teaching as he imagined.

Liu Zhibo made a comparison in his mind between the prince in front of him and the emperor of Jingshi, which made him sad for a long time.

This one is the flower of early spring, and the other is the leaf of late autumn, which is a world of difference.

It gave him a different feeling.

The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty were all fat pigs raised in the pigsty, only knowing the alcoholic women, and collecting treasures and wealth, which seemed to have become a fixed impression in the minds of court officials and even the gentry and common people. However, the first time he went out of Beijing to serve and the first time he saw the real Ming vassal king, this mindset was completely subverted.

In front of the prince of the Shu Domain, where can I find a trace of decadent and extravagant pigsty atmosphere?

Hearing is false, seeing is believing! Liu Zhibo sighed in his heart.

Liu Zhibo was born in imperial history, and rumors and words were originally his best skills. Therefore, when he first entered Sichuan, he began to consciously inquire about all kinds of things in Shu. The death of the king of Shu has spread throughout Sichuan, and the son who inherited the throne has come into his sight. Soon, he collected many well-known rumors about the fifteen-year-old son. Liu Zhibo summarized these rumors, divided them into positive and negative sides, and tried to restore the true face of this prince of Shu through comparison and analysis.

Positive rumor 1, the prince is smart, studious, well-read, knowledgeable, courteous and virtuous, and has the style of dedicating the king's legacy, which is no different from his father who died in his nest; Positive rumor two, the son of benevolence, righteousness and wisdom, in Wangzhuang reduced tax exemption, preferential treatment of widows, widows and orphans, Shu people rushed to invest in Wangzhuang, willing to die for it.

Negative rumor one, there is a fierce mother in the world, and there is a fierce wife in it. Princess Shu and her fiancée are very strong, very capable, and very good at collecting money; The second negative rumor, which is also the most outrageous and sensational rumor, is that the prince is greedy for money and lustful, forcibly seizes people's land, and colludes with Tusi, and has a heart of disobedience!

Regarding the rumors of disobedience, Liu Zhibo just laughed. Sichuan officials and troops gathered, and there were many Tusi soldiers. There is only one guard of a few thousand people in the Shu Palace, and the rebellion is just an egg hitting a stone.

Lust is even more outrageous, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, or a fluffy beard, what can he be lustful into? I'm afraid that the vassal king is lustful, and the emperor likes it!

But for other rumors, Liu Zhibo did not easily deny them.

There are many wonders in the world, and there are many strange things among the vassal kings, and it is difficult to guarantee that this prince of Shu is not one of them. For example, the Yin and Yang of the Shu Palace, Liu Zhibo thinks it is very possible.

It turned out that in Beijing, he heard Wang Yingxiong, a bachelor from Ba County, say that the women of Shu are diligent and capable, and their earning is often not less than that of the men in the family, so the status of the family is not low, and they can eat at the same table with men, even if there are foreigners at home - this is simply unimaginable in the north. The Northland family eats, the men go to the kang, and the women hide in the kitchen.

In addition, the greed for money in the Shu Wangfu cannot be denied. The Shu Wangfu is known as the richest in the world, according to the millions of ointment, and it has been rumored that the Shu Wangfu has a gold and silver secret refining method for two hundred years. Since there is the method of gold and silver refining, but he refuses to share it with the Son of Heaven and the people, what is this not greed for money?

The son of the world is erudite and talented, and Liu Zhibo does not dare to deny it easily. Since King Xian was personally praised by Emperor Taizu as "Shu Xiucai", people in the world did not dare to underestimate the Shu Palace. As everyone knows, the Shu Royal Mansion is very different from other royal mansions, attaches great importance to clan education, and the Chinese people in the palace gather, known as the source of Shudi literary style.

After collecting these rumors, Liu Zhibo threw the Shu Wangfu aside. His main target of work was not the royal palace, but the officials who supervised the three divisions of the county. But when he arrived in Chengdu, he refocused his attention on this Shu prince, and the cause was just a wine banquet.

As soon as Liu Zhibo entered Chengdu, there were many well-informed officials who sent all kinds of filial piety, and the main variety of filial piety was, of course, silver. But except for the annual minister's money that everyone has, Liu Zhibo refused to accept all the other things. He has always prided himself on being a Qingsuke, and from Beijing to Chengdu, the difficulties of people's livelihood along the way left him with deep memories. Taking filial piety is tantamount to knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow of the people!

can not accept filial piety, but Liao Daheng and the chief officer of the third division and other colleagues are in the dust, but it is impossible for him to refuse. When the wine was hot, Liao Daheng and others were full of praise for the prince, and the two adults of the political envoy and the envoy of the inspection echoed it. Chen Qichi, who participated in politics, openly declared that the son of the world is the immortal lord of Shudi!

All kinds of things at the banquet made Liu Zhibo keenly feel that this Shu Shizi was not simple. His tentacles have reached the highest yamen of the Sichuan government - Ertai and Sansi; His influence has spread to all aspects of Sichuan Province. If Zhu Pingjin was just one of the targets of Liu Zhibo's prevention a month ago. So because of this banquet, now Zhu Pingjin has entered Liu Zhibo's key monitoring list!

Today's gathering to discuss the prevention and control of the plague, Liu Zhibo is planning to take this opportunity to carefully observe the every move, word and deed of the prince, and deepen his understanding and understanding of the prince!

Seeing this, Liu Zhibo knew how outrageous the rumors might be. The traitor seems to be loyal, Liu Zhibo reminded himself that he was the eyes and ears sent to Sichuan by the imperial court. To fulfill one's mission well, one must not get involved with the royal government and some corrupt officials. He once again reminded himself that he was a patrol and exercised the power of supervision. If the palace allows itself to express its position on some specific matters, he must be cautious in his words and deeds to avoid being caught in a trap. If the prince of the world has a heart of disobedience, even if he is broken, he will expose him to repay the emperor's great kindness.

Liu Zhibo is observing Zhu Pingjian, and Zhu Pingjin is also observing Liu Zhibo through the cracks.

VARIEGATED CREW NECK, CHEST AND BACK WITH A HORN (XIEZI) COMPLEMENT, STANDARD WIND MAGISTRATE REGULAR WEAR. Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer officials who can wear regular clothes in strict accordance with the imperial court system. For example, there are several five-rank civil officials below, all dressed in bright red robes. As for the military attachés, they all used one or two lions to make up for it!

Liu Zhibo is about 40 years old, which is relatively young among high-ranking officials at the provincial and ministerial levels. Medium build, Chinese face, angular and angular. A pair of eyebrows are raised, which is very distinctive. As the saying goes, Jinshi has a pair of eyes, and Hanlin has two eyebrows. The eyes and eyebrows best reflect a person's character. Liu Mingsheng once reported that Liu Zhibo's raised eyebrows, according to physiognomy, are honest officials, high-minded, and flamboyant.

Looking at each other, Liu Zhibo hurriedly lowered his gaze slightly, so as not to be rude. Zhu Pingjin smiled in his heart, as long as you Liu Zhibo don't dare to confront it head-on! This person has only been in office for seven or eight years, and he doesn't have a strong atmosphere of officialdom fritters. Looking at Liu Zhibo, Zhu Pingjin on the dragon chair vaguely felt that if there were some episodes in today's deliberations, it would probably be the newcomer Liu Zhibo who was in the way.

It's time to come. Zhu Pingjin coughed lightly and politely said an opening sentence. Then Shi Zheng Anmin, the right chief of the palace, took the lead in standing up and briefly said that today's prince went out of the palace to find a teacher and encountered a plague; After Zheng Anmin finished speaking, the good doctor of the royal palace Zheng Li Liangde came out again, briefly explaining that the plague this time is called plague, which is caused by germs on rodents and is extremely contagious. Then Zhu Pingjin spoke, and as the son of Shu, he asked the officials in Sichuan to attach great importance to it and immediately come up with practical and effective prevention and control measures to save the lives of thousands of people in Shu.

Chinese meetings are similar in ancient and modern times. They all explain the situation first, throw out the topic, and then the participants express their own positions. If everyone agrees, then the moderator of the meeting, usually the main leader, summarizes and issues important instructions; If there is a controversy at the meeting, and the two sides are very different, either the main leaders will make a final decision and do so, or they will put aside the dispute, continue to study and study, and ask for instructions. Of course, officialdom meetings and civil gatherings are still a bit unique, mainly because lower-level officials generally have no right to speak, unless the leader arranges in advance or lets you speak by name on the spot. The superiors let the subordinates attend the meeting, which is nothing more than to let you know about the meeting so that you can better implement the decisions of the meeting, not to ask you to make extraneous branches and self-expression.

My wife has always scoffed at the meetings that Zhu Pingjin often attends, and she said that she was purely listening to people fart. Zhu Pingjin criticized her several times, but she still went her own way and did not repent.
