Chapter 615: Tiger's Den and Wolf's Den
Wei Xuanzhen set off from Yuzhou to Xiazhou to take office, and walked slowly and leisurely along the way. Because he is the ruler of the country, the officials and gentry along the way have to be honest and sincere. Today this stays for a few days to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, and tomorrow the forced one will take his family to the mountains and rivers.
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Wei Xuanzhen has not yet walked out of Guanzhong.
Xue Shaoke was a resolute soldier, and he was about to go to Fengzhou in a hurry, waiting for a seven-trick student to be angry. The subordinate generals were afraid that Xue Shao would be angry and chop up the national ruler, so they quietly sent a few messengers to urge Wei Xuanzhen to hurry up and speed up the trip, and come to the governor's mansion to report as much as possible.
Wei Xuanzhen was a little unimpressed, still coming from a slow tour of the mountains and rivers, calmly enjoying the filial piety and stammering of the officials along the way.
Wei Du in the south of the city went to the sky five feet, Wei Xuanzhen, like many children with famous surnames, has developed an arrogant and chronic personality with eyes above the top since she was born, and no one looks down on her. Not to mention facing a Xue Shao, even if he entered the palace, he often put on an arrogant demeanor, and he did not avoid the prime minister when he met him, and he did not bow down when he saw the prince. Because he felt that although the Li clan in Longxi was a royal family, his background was not as noble as their Jingzhao Wei clan. So he felt that marrying his daughter to the Li family was a bit humiliating, so when he went on a blind date, he asked for a large sum of "money".
The second saint was too lazy to deal with a little person like him who didn't know what to do, so he fulfilled everything. In this way, Wei Xuanzhen felt more and more that he felt that he was amazing, and even the second saint was careful to marry his baby daughter.
From the day Empress Wei married Li Xian, Wei Xuanzhen's arrogance and villain ambition were famous in Chang'an. It can be said that whether it is the royal family of the Li family or the princes and prime ministers of Chang'an, none of them really like Wei Xuanzhen, a frivolous person who makes a fortune by marrying his daughter.
Of course, Xue Shao didn't like it either.
By now, he didn't like it very much, and he had an urge to stomp him like fish fat.
Walking out of the gate, Wei Xuanzhen more or less heard some rumors of "Xue Rentu". So he quickened his pace a little and rushed to Xiazhou, but it was still slow.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and Xue Shao's mood is becoming more and more irritable. After delaying for so long for a wine bag and rice bag, how could Xue Shao's temper be so good?
Knowing that Wei Xuanzhen had already entered the Helong Realm, Xue Shao patted his thigh, "Okay, it's finally reached the realm where my army can move around at will!" ”
With Xue Shao's order, the fierce Hu general Ashina Zhongjie led five hundred iron horsemen, rushed to Wei Xuanzhen like an erupting volcano day and night, and only asked, "Your Excellency is the new governor of Xiazhou, Wei Guozhang?" ”
Wei Xuanzhen sat in the carriage and scolded arrogantly: "It's this official!" Who are you, who dare to be rude and noisy when you see this official? ”
"Up!"
Ashina Zhongjie didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and with an order, several sergeants rushed into the carriage and dragged Wei Xuanzhen out and put him on the back of the horse directly. Wei Xuanzhen was so frightened that she struggled desperately, Ashina Zhongjie didn't say a word, and personally led half of the men and horses to take Wei Xuanzhen and rushed forward with a smoke.
A large number of Wei Xuanzhen's family members and servants who were left were so frightened that the six gods and five masters exclaimed loudly, "Someone! Come on! There are robbers! There are robbers! ”
"Shut up!!" The sturdy sergeants slapped the carriages of the Wei family's relatives with their horses, shouting, "Get into the carts!" ”
The people of the Wei family are used to being arrogant, but it doesn't mean that they are really not afraid of death. In the face of such a fierce and domineering sergeant, they all got into the carriage like a chilling cicada, and none of them dared to come forward again.
"Day and night, move forward quickly!"
The remaining half of the iron horseman, escorting Wei Xuanzhen's family and children, came to a rapid march and went straight to the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion. The Wei family really suffered a living crime now, and they couldn't stop running all the way in the carriage, and they were all dizzy and their bones were about to fall apart.
Wei Xuanzhen was like being kidnapped, and was soon "detained" by Ashina Zhongjie to the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion. Hundreds of miles away, without stopping for a moment.
Horseback riding is not fun in this kind of weather, especially at night when the water is cold and splashes into ice. Shuofang's soldiers have long been accustomed to it, and they only froze the pampered Wei Xuanzhen half to death. In front of Xue Shao, he almost only had his eyeballs left to move, and he wanted to speak, but he only heard his teeth thumping, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.
When the generals saw him like this, they all smiled with relief.
"Ashina Zhongjie, what are you going to do?" Xue Shao pretended to be angry and scolded, "This official asked you to go and invite Wei Changshi, how can you tie people up like this?" What a bold and reckless act, how can it be justified! ”
Ashina Zhongjie hurriedly bowed, "All the governors forgive their sins!" …… The subordinate is a Hu man, who has lived outside the Sai for a long time and is illiterate, only knows the sword soldiers and does not know the etiquette! ”
"Get out!" Xue Shao was furious.
"Yes......" Ashina Zhongjie confessed, touched his nose and left with a secret smile.
Wei Xuanzhen wrapped her cloak tightly and was still shaking, as if she had been electrocuted.
"Wei Changshi, I'm really sorry." Xue Shao walked up to Wei Xuanzhen and said with a smile, "My subordinates are ignorant, stubborn and uncourteous, please forgive me!" ”
"None, none...... Ho, ho! ”
Wei Xuanzhen trembled desperately and laughed vigorously, and finally squeezed out these words. No matter how stupid and arrogant he is, he can see that this is Xue Shao's deliberate arrangement. Now he finally appreciated the power and domineering of Xue Rentu, which is really not something that ordinary people can parry!
――If you don't accept softness, you will find death?
"Someone! Hurry up and wait for Wei Changshi to go to the bath and change clothes to enjoy wine and dinner, and call the military doctor to come to dispel the cold for diagnosis and treatment! Xue Shao shouted loudly, "Wei Changshi is the head of the dynasty, and no one can be lazy!" ”
"Yes!" Several sergeants agreed to the promise, rushed forward and lifted Wei Xuanzhen up, and carried him out directly.
Wei Xuanzhen really wanted to cry without tears now...... These vulgar and impudent reckless! - What kind of sin have I created?!
Xue Shao looked coldly at Wei Xuanzhen, who was carried out, "Look, don't say that you are a mere national master, even if Queen Wei comes in person, I won't take it seriously." Playing with me, can't I cure you? ”
Guo An's henchmen and generals around him were all laughing happily, which was called a happy one.
It was only in the middle of the night that all the family members of the Wei family rushed to the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion. It's just that they didn't look very good when they arrived, and none of them sat in the carriage upright, stacked like goods.
Xue Shao asked people to settle together, and the food and living things that should be given were not left behind, and the treatment specifications were quite high.
When the Wei family came all the way, they were coaxed by the state officials and county orders along the way, and when they arrived in Xiazhou, they were immediately choked by Xue Shao. They are not stupid, now they know that Xue Shao is not easy to mess with, and these reckless men in the army are completely different from the officials and gentry of the state and county.
Therefore, the Wei family only dared to complain about their bitterness behind closed doors, and did not dare to openly express any dissatisfaction. Wei Xuanzhen herself almost lost her life and was completely cured. He lay in bed for three days before he could breathe a sigh of relief. As soon as he was able to walk freely on the ground, he hurriedly took the initiative to come to see Xue Shao.
Xue Shao and the generals beside him all laughed, "Fortunately, this guy is still acquainted!" ”
The number of etiquette that should be exhausted still cannot be abolished, and Xue Shao personally held a banquet in the Governor's Mansion to welcome and celebrate the appointment of Wei Xuanzhen's new official. The Governor's Office and some important officials under his rule also accompanied him.
There was no need for Xue Shaoduo to give orders, his state officials and subordinates were actually quite polite to Wei Xuanzhen. Most of these people are all natives of the Tang Dynasty, and they are used to respecting nobles and famous people, not to mention that Wei Xuanzhen is still the ruler of the dynasty and the justifiable governor of the capital.
Wei Xuanzhen finally felt some courtesy, and the anger and apprehension in her heart faded a lot. But there is one thing that he doesn't dare to forget, this is the territory of the people slaughtering Xue Shao, and the land of the army. We must not regard Xiazhou as an ordinary state and county, let alone these polite officials and generals in front of us as ordinary state officials and county orders - they are Xue Rentu's subordinates, and they dare to kill people one by one!
Therefore, Wei Xuanzhen carefully clamped her tail, not daring to show her previous arrogance at all. In this way, the people in the Governor's Mansion seemed to be more friendly, which made Wei Xuanzhen secretly sigh out...... Fortunately, it's much stronger than the expected tiger's den and wolf's den!
The atmosphere of the banquet is generally okay.
At this time, Xue Shao personally brought Liu Youqiu to toast Wei Xuanzhen.
Wei Xuanzhen saw that it was Xue Shao who came, so she didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly got up to greet her.
"Wei Changshi, I want to solemnly introduce someone to you." Xue Shao said, "Liu Youqiu, the marching manager of the Shuofang Army under the command of this commander, has been acting as the governor of the Governor Shi before you come to take office, and is familiar with the people's livelihood and government affairs under the Governor's Mansion, which is my right-hand man in governing the state and county. ”
"I beg to meet Wei Changshi!" Liu Youqiu bowed very respectfully.
"Courteous, courteous." Wei Xuanzhen returned the salute and asked habitually, "Dare to ask Mr. Liu, where is the county?" ”
Liu Youqiu showed a hint of embarrassment, "In the next ...... Born in a humble family. ”
Xue Shao said lightly, "Yang Tong Liuyuan is of noble birth. ”
Wei Xuanzhen's face immediately turned cold, and he hurriedly smiled: "In the army, you should put aside the idea of opening the door and be pragmatic!" …… This official really shouldn't ask more questions and punish himself with three cups! ”
After that, Wei Xuanzhen really drank three cups by herself.
"Good amount of wine." Xue Shao smiled disapprovingly and said, "Wei Changshi, the military situation ahead is urgent, and I will go to Fengzhou to handle military affairs in person in the near future." Xiazhou Governor's Mansion, I will entrust it to you. ”
Wei Xuanzhen was surprised when she heard this, but said: "In such a cold winter, it will snow, but the governor wants to go to Fengzhou in person, won't he be guilty?" ”
"Hugh said it was snowing, and even if it was an arrow, I had to go." Xue Shao said, "After I leave, Liu Youqiu will assist you in taking care of the big and small government affairs of the Governor's Mansion." But there is something unclear, Wei Changshi just asks Liu Youqiu. ”
Liu Youqiu bowed to Wei Xuanzhen.
Wei Xuanzhen's eyes were straight, but she was not stupid, and hurriedly smiled and said, "In this case, please ask Mr. Liu to help me more!" ”
"I will do my best under the next by all means!"
