Chapter 705: Winning People's Hearts
At dusk, at the Ping'an Gate of Bazhou Nancheng, he received the eighth wave of people who arrived in five days, Yue Qianqiu found the two familiar figures of Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning, and immediately rushed over with great joy, and dragged the two of them aside one by one, and he didn't care if he left out the others, and hurriedly asked the question he wanted to know the most.
"Where's Master?" He held back his stomach and had a problem to discuss with Yan Xu!
However, in the face of Yue Qianqiu's eager inquiry, Liu Fangyuan wanted to speak and stopped, and in the end, he simply hid behind Dai Zhanning with a weak heart. And Dai Zhanning's face immediately changed when he saw Yue Qianqiu, and he could only secretly scold Liu Fangyuan for growing so big or the same as when he was a child, and he was useless at the critical moment. scolded and scolded, but he had to deal with the senior brother in charge who was about to burst into a rage.
And Yue Qianqiu had already sensed some clues from Liu Fangyuan's strange reaction, and suddenly sank his face: "Don't lie to me, you know, I am a tolerant and generous person, I can forgive many things, but I will never forgive lies!" β
If you are tolerant, no one in the world will be careful!
Liu Fangyuan secretly slandered himself, but Dai Zhanning did not have the leisure and leisure of slander like him. He originally wanted to confuse Yue Qianqiu for at least ten days and half a month according to the fabricated story, but when he heard Yue Qianqiu's solemn warning, he hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to tell the truth: "Senior brother, Senior Uncle Yan has gone to Beiyan." β
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu froze there in an instant, Dai Zhanning didn't know that Yue Qianqiu must be angry and hateful, and hurriedly explained: "Uncle Yan said that he got the permission of the eldest princess before he came out, and he also brought a lot of elite soldiers and strong generals. Ah Yuan and I tried to stop him, but you also know that the two of us together are not his opponents, not to mention that he knocked Ah Yuan unconscious first, forcing me to cooperate with him to deal with those officials along the way...... Moreover, he also kept a similar stand-in. β
As he spoke, he turned his head angrily and glared at Liu Fangyuan, who was full of frustration behind him, and then turned his head again, and looked directly into Yue Qianqiu's eyes: "Uncle Yan asked me to tell you that you have what you should do, and he also has what he should do." For so many years, he has not been able to live happily according to his heart, this is the first time, maybe the last time......"
"Enough!" Yue Qianqiu finally couldn't hold back any longer, stopped Dai Zhanning's words, and then said viciously, "What the last time, he dares to say such unlucky words, even if it is not taboo, there should be a limit!" He is refreshing this time, and when he comes back, I don't have a good treatment for him with my sister and the big and small pairs! What else? What else did Master say? β
Dai Zhanning hesitated, as if he didn't know whether to continue, but at this time, Liu Fangyuan poked his head out and whispered: "Senior Uncle Yan said, let Senior Brother don't rush forward in everything, just hide behind." When the sky falls, there is a tall man on top, so there is no need to rush ahead to be a warrior. β
Yue Qianqiu suddenly snorted angrily: "He went to be a big hero himself, but let me be a coward and admit it?" I'm whoa, whoa! It's all on this, and he thinks I don't know? This Bazhou is immediately the front line, and there is going to be a war! β
The little fat man didn't know that his coquettish family letters and official recitals were all still on the way, and the emperor had already learned about the situation in Bazhou through the flying pigeon. Yue Qianqiu also didn't know that some of the most important people in Jinling had reached a tacit agreement and planned to turn Bazhou into the most cruel winch.
However, Yue Qianqiu has lived a lifetime longer than the former, although it has only been more than ten years, but in the end it is different. From the moment Kang Le showed up to meet the little fat man and presented the six seals of the Son of Heaven, he knew that something was wrong, and when he knew that it was the emperor and grandfather behind him, how could he not realize that something big was going to happen?
So, seeing Dai Zhanning smiling bitterly at this time, Liu Fangyuan was surprised, it was clear that one had already guessed, and the other had already realized it, so he left the two of them. When he came back to the others, he didn't need to pretend to be a tiger, and after looking at everyone, he said stiffly: "There were ten teams of people on the road before, if you count it like this, congratulations, you are the third from the bottom." β
In the face of such straightforward sarcasm, dozens of people with different affiliations were ashamed and angry, some were silent, and some were so annoyed that they wanted to judge, but they were pulled back by their companions, but at this time, Yue Qianqiu softened his tone.
"However, it's not your fault, who let your team mix in with my two junior brothers? Everyone thought they were there, and General Xuanlong Siyan and the crown prince must also be with you, so wherever you went, you were targeted by everyone, and you were so tired that you couldn't go too fast. So, with such a person who is dragging his feet, you still arrive earlier than the other two teams, which is already very powerful. β
This one was raised, and the latter words were derogatory to Liu Dai and the others, and everyone who was still indignant just now suddenly felt much better. Even Liu Fangyuan, who had just pinched a handful of sweat and hurriedly pulled Dai Zhanning over to be a peacemaker, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this time.
"When the first group of people arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promised that they would give priority to the places where they would be stationed. And they naturally occupied those courtyards closest to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. And after the next two groups of people entered the Taishou Mansion, the Taishou Mansion was completely full, and there were no empty houses, so you could only be stationed in the houses vacated by the households around the Taishou Mansion. β
Yue Qianqiu just stated an objective fact, but for these people who were late, it was a slap in the face. Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning were born in the Wuying Pavilion, and like the others in the Wuying Pavilion, they were the freshly baked guards of the East Palace who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince named to pass, and they belonged to the Prince's Guard's Mansion, but they were different. Such a rare opportunity is far away from the prince, how to behave?
No matter how sluggish Liu Fangyuan was, he would not ignore the gaze that suddenly turned to his two brothers. And Dai Zhanning was even more aware of the negative emotions of resentment, complaint, and anger, thinking that because Yan Xu was the shopkeeper, he had spent a lot of trouble to maintain this team along the way, although he was a little aggrieved, he also knew that Yue Qianqiu was not wrong.
If it weren't for the fact that Yan Xu was among them from the beginning, why would all the officials along the way be staring at their line?
However, after Yue Qianqiu first broke the good place and selected all the people, he said with a pleasant face: "I know this is not fair, but the rules are like this, and they can't be broken." However, the principle that the building near the water gets the moon first, does not work every time. Now, I can give you another option. β
Seeing that everyone who had just lost hope cheered up, and with an expression of willingness to hear about it, he smiled: "General Liu of Bazhou is about to reopen the Bazhou Field, but the original group of defenders has been completely rotten to the roots, so the General's Mansion has replaced all the people. The site is located in the north of the Urn City, which is at the forefront of the Northern Yan, which is very important, are you willing to represent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in it? β
Before everyone could agree or object, he put another weight: "If you think it's just an idle errand with nothing to do, then don't force it." I can tell you plainly that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has accepted the Six Seals of the Son of Heaven of Northern Yan, and the armies in southern Xinjiang, which were originally in chaos, will not sit idly by, and will make a move sooner or later.
So it is likely that there will be a war in Bazhou next, and nine times out of ten, Rongchang will bear the brunt. If you want to take the credit for defending the East Palace, then don't go to the field. If you want His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to see that the warriors are not only in the border army, but also in the guards and pro-army, then go. Of course, as I've said now, that's just a possibility, and maybe the situation will be calm. β
Speaking of this, Yue Qianqiu looked at Liu Fangyuan with a smile and said, "As for Ah Yuan, a team of people arrived before, but there was no you, and your father, General Liu, has already scolded several times." He is now a frequent visitor to the Taishou Mansion, and he wants me to say that if you stay in the Taishou Mansion, I am afraid that life will not be easy. The prince needs someone from his side to sit in the reopened field, will you go? β
What kind of person his father is, of course Liu Fangyuan knows best. Even if it is child's play to see who arrives in Bazhou first in the so-called competition this time, as long as there is a ranking, his third-to-last position is enough for Liu Jingxuan to beat him hard. So, he couldn't help but cry and said, "Do you need to talk about this? Of course I'm going to the field! If I can make a contribution, my father will be less angry. β
As long as you can stay away from Daddy!
Dai Zhanning was about to say that he would go too, but found Yue Qianqiu's eyes full of smiles. Seeing that he shook his fingers gently, it seemed to be mocking Liu Fangyuan, but when he looked at it, he felt that it was more like a hint that he should not mess around, so he could only close his mouth first. Sure enough, seeing that Liu Fangyuan agreed to go to the field, the others quickly made a decision.
"Lord Yue, let's go to the field!"
As one of the officers of the guards Ma Jun took the lead in speaking, one of the leaders of the Xuanlong Division immediately shouted: "Let's go too!" β
Seeing that those pawns did not raise their voices, Yue Qianqiu smiled and said: "Okay, this way, you are new to here, first follow me to meet His Royal Highness the Prince, and officially take this task down." lest you turn back and think that I have falsely decreed against you. β
As soon as Yue Qianqiu said this, the last trace of doubt in everyone's minds was finally put down. When they followed Yue Qianqiu to the Taishou Mansion, dozens of people thought that there was no way to go in together, but they didn't expect that Yue Qianqiu didn't just take the officers in to meet them, but pulled a large number of people to the courtyard in front of the inner study, so that the not spacious place was stuffed to the brim.
And as Yue Qianqiu brought Liu Fangyuan, Dai Zhanning and a few officers into the house, the door curtain was raised high and hung on the hook on the side, although most people were saluting, even if they secretly raised their heads and tried their best to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the dim room, but the other party's voice came clearly.
"It's all polite, you have worked hard all the way, not to mention that on the one hand, you have to help Lone to cover up, and on the other hand, because Ah Yuan and Ah Ning deliberately revealed their whereabouts, they dragged you back. When you first arrived, you were not afraid of hard work, and took the initiative to invite Ying to be stationed in the field, and praised the hard-working king, which was really a bit light. I can only say that I will not forget your efforts. β
Yue Qianqiu in the room looked at the grateful looks of several officers, and thought to himself that the little fat man had said these high-sounding words without blinking his eyes, and he was going to slip more and more, and his immature mind was making great strides to transition to an increasingly sound imperial mind, and he really didn't know how he would transform into a surprise to those ministers when he returned to Jinling one day.
To be able to say that this group of people have no choice and have to go to the field to see if there is a chance to make meritorious service is to take the initiative to ask for help, isn't this an increasingly mature political consideration?
Hearing the roaring response outside, and hearing those clichΓ©s that were broken and broken, even if he did what he did, Yue Qianqiu still couldn't help but be a little absent-minded. When the little fat man instructed Liu Fangyuan very familiarly, agreed to the other party's initiative to ask for help, and sent him to the field to supervise, he immediately smiled and asked him to give it away, he glanced at Dai Zhanning who was left, and pulled Liu Fangyuan out.
Sure enough, after going through the motions in front of the prince, even if most people didn't really see anyone at all, for them, it was already rare for the prince to open the curtain and say words of encouragement to them, who originally belonged to the penultimate third. However, Yue Qianqiu, who fell at the end, looked at the excited backs, and her thoughts flew away all of a sudden.
No matter what year it is, as long as the superior person has a word and a look, he can make countless people rush to death, no wonder so many people pursue power at all costs. As for those who already sit in the positions of the highest power, they are all concerned about consolidating power. This is the case with the emperor of Great Wu, from the puppet to the real king, all the internal and external troubles are being solved in the same way.
In contrast, what are the crazy people in Beiyan thinking?
However, when dozens of people poured out of the gate of Taishou Mansion, and Yue Qianqiu pulled Liu Fangyuan to whisper and instruct, slowly swallowing and hanging at the end, Liu Fangyuan, who was absent-mindedly listening and nodding at the same time, suddenly felt that the hairs on the back of his neck suddenly exploded, as if he had encountered a natural enemy. He immediately raised his head, and when he saw the black big cloud floating up not far away, he couldn't help but secretly cry out bitterly.
Without thinking about it, he immediately flashed behind Yue Qianqiu, and then shouted in a low voice: "My father is here!" Senior brother, you must help me, I don't want to be beaten by him with a horsewhip! β
Yue Qianqiu just used Liu Jingxuan to scare Liu Fangyuan before, but he didn't expect that people were really like mice seeing cats, and he couldn't help but cry and laugh. As soon as he pulled the person to his side and stood up, he said angrily: "Your father can still eat you in front of so many people?" Although I am not subordinate to him in the official face, no matter what, I am also the head of the Xuandao Hall! β
"Yes, yes, yes." No matter how big my father is, he can't help but listen to you, the head of the house!
Liu Fangyuan nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, but when he followed Yue Qianqiu to greet him, he heard another sentence coldly: "By the way, I heard that your father seems to be marrying the Dai family." I'm just a little curious, is it Aning marrying your sister, or are you marrying Aining's sister? β
As soon as these words came out, Liu Fangyuan was first frightened, and then he was overjoyed. Dai Zhanning's sister is very spicy, although she was eaten to death by Dai Zhanning, who seemed to be shy and quiet, but he definitely couldn't bear it, but the age gap was there, and she shouldn't marry him. But if Dai Zhanning marries his sister, then Brother Ning, who has always been respected, becomes a brother-in-law, and he is kissed and kissed!
He was so immersed in joy that he even forgot that his father was galloping on his horse, until the rider landed in front of Yue Qianqiu. What made him happy and disappointed was that Liu Jingxuan didn't even look at him at all.
"Lord Yue, I'm tired of informing the prince, there is news from Beiyan." Liu Jingxuan paused, and then said in a deep voice, "The sixth prince of Northern Yan, the king of Yong'an County, has ascended the throne and become the emperor in Shangjing. β
