Chapter VIII: Grievances
Leaving Luoyang all the way to the south, there is a road to the south boat and the north horse, the more the river to the south, the more slowly it increases, but the weather also
It's getting hotter and hotter, and sometimes Xiao Zheng takes advantage of the early morning to set off without hurry. Abandon the shore to board the boat when entering the Tongji Canal, and the post station is early
Four large boats have been prepared and headed south along the Grand Canal.
Li Tai and Xiao Changning went out for the first time and also got on the boat for the first time, looking at the boats coming and going on the canal, standing
They shouted at the bow of the boat, but it wasn't long before the two little ones began to get seasick. wiped a little ten thousand on the temples of the two of them
Jin You let me go back to the cabin to rest first, but fortunately, Xiao Zheng and they used an official ship, which was much more comfortable than other civilian ships, otherwise
But it's really enough for the two little guys.
There was nothing to say on the road, and I arrived in Yangzhou twenty days later.
It wasn't until Xiao Zheng entered Yangzhou that he knew that Yangzhou was called Guangling County at this time, including dozens of counties in Jinling and Chuzhou
Fu, no wonder Sun Wuji told him that his line was set in Yangzhou, and Xiao Zheng wanted to ask why not
Located in Hangzhou, this is fortunate not to ask, if this is a shame to ask.
Before the ship docked, I saw a field of officials in various colors standing on the dock from a distance, since people knew it
You're welcome.
Dozens of officials who got off the boat bowed and saluted and said, "The lower officials have seen the chief manager and His Royal Highness the King of Wei."
Seeing the leader Xiao Zhengle, it was none other than Ying Guogong Wushi Tong.
When I asked, I found out that Wu Shi Tong was also transferred from Yizhou in Shu by the court last month to serve as the assassin of Yangzhou, and he said that he would meet it
After the children's words, Xiao Zheng looked at the back, and there was also an official who was familiar. This person saw that Xiao Zheng was paying attention, and he stood up very politely
Come to bend to give a salute and say: "Xiaguan Yangzhou, don't drive Xu Jingzong to see the chief manager."
"Let's talk and forget about business," Wu Shi Tong turned around and introduced the officials behind him to Xiao Zheng one by one.
When I asked Xu Jingzong, I found out that this guy was transferred to Zhongshu Province after he was promoted to the post of locust, and he was housed within a few months of doing it
Xuan Ling didn't even give a reason and was released out of Yangzhou.
It can't be this guy's talent, it must be Lao Fang who saw that this guy was a dangerous person and wrote directly from it
The province was kicked out, but fortunately, Fang Xuanling still had a little conscience and found him a good place.
Since it is to catch the wind, eating and drinking must be inevitable, follow the crowd along the street, Yangzhou is really like fireworks
Brocade, as far as the eye can see, there are many flower boats in the canal, all of which are carved and painted, or luxurious or simple, with different charms.
Some of the women on the boat were leaning on the railing, and even when they saw these officials, they did not have the slightest timidity to shout
Greetings, especially when I saw a super handsome guy like Gong Ruoyi, the women who passed by on the road stopped and watched.
The women on the painting boat greeted them even louder, and some of them were bold enough to take off their jewelry from their heads and wrap them in handkerchiefs
ran to the shore with the pedals on the boat, but before he could reach the front, he was blocked by the Xuanjia army with an angry sword, and he was unwilling to take it
The handkerchief was thrown at Gong Ruoyi across the crowd.
Some were even more daring, shouting while following the flow of people, which made some officials want to laugh uncontrollably. only
It's this guy who still has a rigid face and doesn't even look at these women.
"Xiao Gong, your guard is really like Song Yu, and the Jiangnan woman is as enthusiastic as fire, you can let him be on guard."
jokingly said to Xiao Zheng.
Turning his head and kicking the public loss Ruoyi, he said: "You don't care about other people, you watch people throw you."
's jewelry, it's all real money, you pick a point, take it back and exchange it for some rice, let's have dozens of them
People, it's easy for me to raise you, you don't pick any money, you are stupid."
"With you, the God of Wealth, would he care about this little money? This kid came to this land of fireworks like a fish in water, with him
With this look, there is no money, and those "all knowing" in the studio have to rush to find this kid," Ji Chun on the side said with a smile.
"As soon as I mentioned money, Lao Tzu remembered that you detained me, whether he went or not, you don't have the ability, him
What is the heart doing, let the attendants look for the valuable jewelry on the ground. Ask you, what kind of play is 'Know'?"
Xiao Zheng asked Ji Chun.
poked Ji Chun's sore spot, and Gongyi Ruoyi couldn't hold back his laughter when he heard the conversation between the two, which attracted more
The girl screamed.
Ji Chun glared at Xiao Zheng and said, "If the old man hadn't seen that you had the king's order, he would have to throw you into the river."
As soon as I heard this guy say it, I knew that 'all knowing' was the name of the top people in the Qinglou, and it turned out to be the top brand, so I said it earlier
No, it's fine.
Not long after being surrounded by a group of civil and military officials, he arrived at a very luxurious wine shop, and there was no samurai
After sitting down politely, he said to Xiao Zheng: "Xia Guan knows that you are good at the art of Yiya, but the delicacies of this Huaiyang land are also quite good
Many, Xiao Gong also please taste one or two".
As soon as the dish was eaten, Xiao Zheng felt that although it was a little light, it was extremely delicious, and it was rare to come to Datang for so long to eat a meal
Delicious meal, the two little ones ate without raising their heads.
Sure enough, after the wine passed the three rounds of the cloud board, the dancing girls came out after the sound of silk and bamboo, and Xiao Zheng came to see these songs
The female is also the middle and lower posture, but these officials also look at it with relish.
The officials who greeted Xiao Zheng saw that although he was young, he did not make a gesture, and stepped forward to give him and Li Taijing
Wine, Xiao Zheng also did not refuse, that is, Xiao Zheng drank Li Tai's wine and returned the salute, winning a full house for a while.
The meal was enjoyed by the guests and the hosts, and at dusk they sent away the officials from all walks of life who came to Jin, Wu Shi Tong and Xu Jingzong
Accompanied Xiao Zheng slowly towards the mansion. At this time, the summer heat in Yangzhou City has gone, and the boathouses in the river are lit with lanterns, reflecting the river
The surface is colorful.
Since the Sui Dynasty, there is a saying that "Yang Yi Yi Two", although Yangzhou City has experienced war, but the market is far above
Chang'an City is prosperous a lot, that is, there are many people who walk on the road and carry baskets wearing silk through the streets
It is the richest place Xiao Zheng has seen since he came to Datang.
Seeing Xiao Zheng was very happy, Wu Shi Tong also smiled and said: "Yangzhou has not had a curfew since the two Jin Dynasty,
The night is more prosperous than the day, Xiao Gong has just arrived here, and the local customs are very different from Chang'an
constant".
"I'm thinking about what this Yangzhou City would be like if it hadn't experienced the war, and it would depend on Wugong and Yan
clan and other princes".
The two of them didn't dare to say anything, and after walking for a while, Wu Shi Tong and Xu Jingzong glanced at each other, only to see Wu Shi Tong say:
"Gong Xiao, there is something I want to give back to you."
"Lao Wu, if you say this again, the two of us won't be able to do this, if you have something to say, you can say it directly."
"Okay, I'll just say it bluntly, this time there is actually one less person to pick you up and wash the dust."
"Oh?" Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment and didn't speak, on the official position, Xiao Zheng left the capital not only in Yangzhou, but also in Jiangnan
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a power leaning for a while, unless there is an extremely unexpected situation, as long as it is an official who has won the stage in Jiangnan
Definitely coming.
"This person is Dou Yun, the governor of Yangzhou, and he boarded the ship to go back to Chang'an early in the morning when you came," Wu Shitong said.
"I have no impression, I have no grudges with him, why don't you give this face in the officialdom?" Xiao Zheng was a little puzzled.
"Xiao Gong doesn't know, this person's father is the son of Dou Wei, the uncle of the Empress Dowager, and his talent is very ordinary
At that time, he persuaded him to see King Wei even if he didn't see you. Unexpectedly, this person said that he was born in a family and was ashamed to be with you, he was
As the cousin of King Wei, if you don't see that the elders have the final say, you ......," Xu Jingzong said beside him.
"The Yan clan is right," Samurai Tong said.
Since you have gone like this, everyone is clean on both sides.
When he arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Xiao Zheng saw that Xu Jingzong had already arranged all the utensils, and after saying thank you, the group also came
I went to bed early.
I got up early the next morning, practiced calligraphy and played Tai Chi for a while, and put on my official uniform and went to the main hall.
Yangzhou officials had been waiting in the front hall for a long time, and Xiao Zheng was not polite, and after saying a few words, he was ready to let everyone go
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sudden sound of grievances outside the yamen.
This is interesting, Xiao Zheng is also strange in his heart, this is just the first day of taking office, someone sued, and it was just before
Lao Tzu said goodbye to the human form, and today I didn't expect to take someone else's paper again.
ordered the servants, and when they brought people in, they saw that it was an old woman, who looked to be in her sixties, with gray hair and hands
Carrying a wooden stick, she walked forward as she probed, and when she whispered to her, the old woman knelt down and trembled from her bosom
Tremblingly, he took out a roll of paper and held it high above his head and said: "The folk woman Ye Li has seen the adult, please ask the adult to avenge the grievances of the child Zhaoxue."
Wonderful!
