Yu Rongqi, the scholar of the Li Fan Academy, is a well-known old-fashioned person, and the etiquette is the clearest, and at this moment, seeing a lowly grass man who dares to speak directly to the prince, he can't help but reprimand: "Dare to make a mistake, dare to commit a crime?" Come, take him down! ”

A group of guards were trying to take people according to the order, but they heard a gentle voice from behind them: "It's just a little thing, don't frighten the people!" He set aside the crowd behind him, walked slowly to the old man, and looked at him carefully. The people around them had never seen such a posture, and their bodies fell even lower, eager to bury their heads in the dust. Even the old man who had the courage to speak out just now was worried in his heart, and Yu Rongqi's words just now undoubtedly scared his soul away.

"Old man, you look up." Feng Wuxian looked down at the old man underground condescendingly, and commanded calmly. The old man's body trembled visibly, and he didn't even dare to say it.

"Wasn't you quite bold just now? Isn't Lone with a blue face and fangs, is it so scary? Feng Wuxian asked half-teasingly, "If you don't dare to answer, it will be your county magistrate who will be affected." You also heard what the adult said just now, if it is investigated, Kang Muchen will inevitably be charged with lax discipline. ”

These words had some effect, and not only did the old man raise his head, but even the other people around him straightened their backs. "His Royal Highness the Prince, please don't blame the county master, he is a talented man who has been in our place for ten years, loves the people like a son, and even Yulu is often used to help the people, he is really a good official!" As soon as the old man said this, the surrounding echoes were one, and these small people didn't know what was going on, and they talked about Kang Muchen's exploits one by one.

Feng Wuxian was a little suspicious at first, but when he heard it, he was shocked and moved, only to see that from near to far, those people looked like they were dancing when they mentioned this county magistrate, and the official voice of the county magistrate was really good. He nodded slowly, "Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, your praise and recognition have all understood, Master Kang is well governed, and the imperial court will not forget such capable people, nor will they blame him." He waved his hand and summoned Kang Muchen, and then ordered, "Lone knows your suffering, but now there is no need to wronged these people kneeling here, they are all hard ground, which is not good for the old man's health." ”

Kang Muchen sensed a trace of satisfaction from the change of his face, and his heart was immediately overjoyed. He, a talented man from Shandong, has been in the bitter cold land of the northwest for ten years, firstly, he will not be able to go to the constitution, and secondly, this place is too poor, and it is rare for the officials to get a middle level in the evaluation, let alone talk about outstanding promotion? Now the people under the rule praise a few words in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, which is more effective than any flattery. When he answered, he beckoned the crowds of people to disperse.

"But the people of the northwest are simple and simple, and everything they say is true." Feng Wuxian said with emotion, and then turned his head to the stunned officials behind him and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the respect on the faces of the people is far less than the gratitude in their hearts. "Since he, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, has spoken, where do those officials dare to say anything, it is nothing more than a promise, only Xiao Yunchao said a few good words in a funny way. He was startled at first, thinking that Kang Muchen was giving him eye medicine through the people, but then he didn't like it, so he was relieved.

When he arrived at the Qin Mission, Feng Wuxian turned around and ordered the officials who followed not to follow, these people had all rushed over from other states and counties, including Fang Mingji, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. He was originally a confidant of the third prince Feng Wuyan, but he was transferred from Zhejiang to the northwest by the emperor, and now that Feng Wuyan has lost power, he has no backer, and he must not seek a noble person to rely on at this moment. However, since Feng Wuxian had already spoken, even if these people were unwilling in their hearts, they could only disperse in a huff. However, Yu Rongqi, as the scholar of the Imperial Academy, was naturally not among those magistrates, so he followed him into the Qin Mission.

When the three of them entered the house, Xiao Yunchao lost his initial smile, and after the guest and host sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "His Royal Highness the Prince, although Prince An has reported that Dzungaria has agreed to the alliance, but Ketu Ce Ling is a capricious villain, and the wolf's ambition is well known to passers-by. ”

Yu Rongqi on the side didn't expect Xiao Yunchao to be so straightforward, and he was stunned for a while. Feng Wuxian knew Xiao Yunchao's deep meaning, his two years in the northwest were almost wasted, and he naturally wanted to reveal one or two. Moreover, the Xiao family is now at its peak, if something goes wrong with the prince, it will not be of any benefit to the Xiao family. Thinking of this, he nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you Uncle for mentioning it, Lone will definitely be cautious." However, I have to send a few princesses to the grassland to complete the marriage, so there is no need to worry about the Kurteng Ministry, the Suotu Ministry, and the Sark Ministry, as long as these three tribes can still be used by my Lingyun, the wolf ambition of the Dzungar people will not succeed for a while. ”

For those princesses and county lords who are destined to marry far away, Xiao Yunchao doesn't pay much attention to them, Lingyun has had many clan women who have allowed to marry foreign clans since ancient times, and even the real golden branches and jade leaves are no less than dozens, but there are not many who can deter their husbands. However, Princess Rongqing, the youngest daughter of the founding Taizu, once single-handedly subdued the rebellious nobles in the tribe, and helped her husband become the leader of the alliance at that time, and was known as the grassland goddess for a while. However, after the marriage between Lingyun and Mongolia for generations, it also brought the bloodlines of the princes and nobles on both sides closer, and under the order of the imperial court, the military horses of many powerful Mongolian tribes can often be used by them, so from the point of view of detaining Mongolia, these clan daughters have undoubtedly fulfilled their responsibilities.

Yu Rongqi saw that the two of them were silent for a while, and hurriedly asked, "Lord Xiao, this place is only two hours away from the northwest camp, why hasn't Prince An come to greet him so far?" Although Prince An is a prince and a general who commands the army, after all, he and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince belong to the monarch, how can they be so lazy? ”

After being reminded by Yu Rongqi, Feng Wuxian thought that Feng Wufang hadn't come yet, and he didn't care, but he couldn't show such a look in front of the other two, so he just replied lightly: "Prince An is a general, and Xu is the military affairs of the northwest military camp are complicated, and he can't get out of it for a while." Lord Yu doesn't have to worry so much, you are old, and you should take a rest after so many days. ”

Yu Rongqi saw that Xiao Yunchao was also silent on the side, knowing that Feng Wuxian didn't want to pursue the matter, so he didn't bother anymore at the moment, and retreated first with a deep salute. This nephew and uncle haven't seen each other for a long time, so they should have something to say, and it would be too boring for him to be here if he was still here.

Xiao Yunchao finally breathed a sigh of relief, the successive events just now had already made him a little tired, although he was worried that the person in front of him was the crown prince of the dynasty, but Feng Wuxian was still his nephew after all, so his expression couldn't help but be a little relaxed. "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, although you have ascended to the storage position now, you can't relax until that moment. The emperor sent you to preside over the alliance this time, firstly, because he wanted you to make meritorious contributions, and secondly, I am afraid that it will also be a test. The He family lost the opportunity to compete for the throne for no reason, and also made a big enemy of you, I'm afraid it won't be so quick to give up. ”

Feng Wuxian nodded, "What Uncle said is extremely true, and Lone will not forget this." However, this time, the father has a will first, and you and I will go together when the alliance is met, so you have to be extra careful. He pondered for a long time, and finally said with a pun, "None of the cousins in the Xiao Mansion can inherit the mantle of their uncle, and the people who come and go are complicated, so they can't even take care of avoiding suspicion." There are many people who come to complain here, and there are even those who complain to the queen mother, so if the uncle returns to the court, he should pay more attention. ”

Xiao Yunchao's face has completely changed, of course he knows the virtues of his sons, so when he stays in the capital, he rarely covers up and indulges, and he disciplines him very strictly, after all, He Furong's youngest son He Molin still has a lesson from the past, and he doesn't dare to be too indulgent. But Feng Wuxie's intention to suddenly mention this matter made him wonder through, according to his understanding of this nephew, he shouldn't be for that little thing, unless...... He shuddered suddenly, unless it was his son who was out provoking other princes or royalty.

He stole a glance at Feng Wuxi's face, and then said, "Your Highness, rest assured, once Weichen returns to Beijing, he will definitely teach them." He couldn't think of what he should say, so he could only burst out with this sentence.

After dinner, Feng Wuxian summoned Kang Muchen, the county magistrate with a respectful look, obviously already prepared. After he had settled all the people in the morning, he returned to the county government to handle official business, and although he was praised today because of those people, he did not dare to slack off, after all, if someone was interested in pursuing it, he would be charged with inciting the people.

However, Feng Wuxi's first sentence made him really embarrassed. "Kang Muchen, your name is not bad, the court is now full of so-called elegant characters, and it is actually the name given by Hu ** who tampered with his parents." Kang Muchen was ridiculed many times by his classmates in the private school because of this awkward name when he was a child, who would have thought that he would be praised at this time, and his face was immediately flushed.

"Your Highness laughed, the humble post has already settled these people in accordance with His Highness's will, and he disturbed the places under his rule before, and I ask His Highness to forgive his sins." After all, Kang Muchen is an old man who has been serving as the commander of a county for ten years, even if Feng Wuxian is polite at the moment, he does not dare to be too self-conscious, but he deeply apologizes, "Although the humble position is never promoted, but I dare not complain about the heavens and people, it is my duty to govern a county and let the people under my jurisdiction live in peace, and I don't dare to exaggerate ......."

"You don't have to say more." Feng Wuxian suddenly interrupted his words with a wave of his hand, got up and paced a few steps, and then turned around, "It's clear who is right and who is not lonely, in your remote northwest place, even if the imperial court or the constitution sends a small official, you have to pretend to be smiling and agree, over time, of course, the people are overwhelmed, fortunately, you are the parents and officials, and it is also their luck." Feng Wuxian saw that Kang Muchen's face was already sad, and added, "A sincere official like you, Lone will not easily add guilt to trivial matters, nor will he be reused because of a person's words, I hope you can always remember this." ”

Kang Muchen was stunned for a long time, and finally kowtowed sincerely and convincingly: "His Royal Highness the Prince's mention, the humble duty will always be remembered in my heart, and I will work hard to serve in the future." "Either way, he finally managed to leave a name in the back of Wind Traceless's heart, and that was enough.

PS: There seems to be a lot of opinion about marriage, but this is not the same as the system of harmony in the Han Dynasty. Since most of them are based on the Qing Dynasty, many of Lingyun's concubines are from Mongolian nobles, such as Empress Xiaoci, the mother of Emperor Feng Huanzhao. Therefore, it is very common for the princess of the royal family to marry Mongolia, because at a critical moment, they must be able to play their role. Of course, Lingyun's royal family is Han Chinese, and this must be reiterated. In addition, the alliance mentioned here is just a concept, and I don't want to spend too much effort here compared to the complicated policy of the Qing Dynasty towards Mongolia. (To be continued)
