"Chong Yong Junhuang, so the country is also accepted; The high hall is far away, so it is pampered. "The chief official of Ningzhou is Zhizhou, and as an official of the five grades, his yamen is naturally the yamen of the five grades. Therefore, the official office of Ningzhou is naturally broader and grander than the Qipin Yamen of Baoan County and Heshui County.

However, regardless of whether it is a state or a county, the architectural design of the government office is centered on the state and county officials. The purpose of the establishment of the Department is political, and in order to highlight the position of the chief officer, there are many commonalities in the design.

In terms of architectural pattern, the state and county government offices adopt a horizontal and symmetrical vertical and horizontal axis layout. The longitudinal axis is the north-south direction, generally known as the left-center-right; The east-west direction of the horizontal axis is called the front, middle and back. The main building is concentrated on the longitudinal axis of the north and south, and the gate of the government office sits in the north and faces south, and is at the forefront of the longitudinal axis.

In front of the gate of the government office, there is generally a shadow wall, and bypassing the shadow wall is the main entrance of the government office. Most of the drum towers are built in the main gate, and after the drum tower is the instrument gate. The instrument gate is divided into three gates: left, middle and right, and only the chief officer and the superior can enter and exit the middle gate. The side doors on the left and right enter and exit the office in the manner of Wen Zuo Wu Right. The other two corner doors are used for general staff access.

The current situation is that the governor of the three sides, Yang Hedong, opened the heavy door and welcomed Zhang Mengcheng and the three into the office. Even in the guest house to the left of the door, the doors are wide open. Yang He just wanted to express his sincere attitude under the blue sky and white sun, and there was no suspicious attitude.

But except for Zhang Mengcheng, a former showman, who knows a little bit about the doorway, Liu Jin and Liu Hongru, the two big bosses, all look like they don't understand what Yang He means at all.

Under Liu Ke's recommendation, Zhang Mengcheng and the three of them planned to bow down as soon as they saw Yang He.

It's just that Yang He directly exempted this false salute, and personally summoned the three of them to the front, and said very sincerely: "The official army invaded the day before yesterday, and it was not the intention of the official. It's just that because of the turmoil in the prefecture and county, Zhang Yingchang, the deputy general of Dingbian, did not receive the official order. I hope you leaders don't be surprised. If you still have any grievances, you can make them clear to the official. ”

Zhang Mengcheng and the three naturally did not dare to complain, and they behaved quite respectfully.

Yang He saw that the three leaders were still a little restrained, and he also understood that he couldn't directly make the other party open his mind after a while. It's just that seeing the different hairstyles of the three people, Yang He is still a little strange.

Liu Jin and Liu Hongru, like the two small leaders Liu En and Wang Congren who came before, are very standard shaved and braided hair. It's just that Zhang Mengcheng obviously didn't shave his head, but just untied his hair and simply knotted it into a braid.

Yang He heard that the security city fell that day, and all the soldiers and civilians in the city were treated like Liu Jin, so he couldn't help but be a little curious about why Zhang Mengcheng was different. At the same time, in order to relax the restrained atmosphere, he smiled and asked Zhang Mengcheng: "I don't know what this leader is called, why don't you have shaved hair on your head, only braids?" ”

Since Zhang Mengjin and his gang had completely ceded Ningsai, except for some of the original defensive troops who went to Jinding Mountain, the rest had already reached the nose of Shen Yikui. Therefore, this group of men and horses who originally defended Ningsai had to learn from Zhang Mengjin and untie their hair into braids.

In order to maintain the cooperative relationship with Shen Yikui, Zhang Mengcheng and others reluctantly accepted. So at this time, Zhang Mengcheng made up a nondescript hairstyle, just like those Hong Kong-made movies that were not particular in later generations.

Hearing Yang He's question, Zhang Mengcheng was a little nervous, but he still replied clearly: "The little one's name is Zhang Mengcheng, nicknamed Zhang Xiucai, and he is the younger brother of the security guard monkey Zhang Mengjin. The man in charge of the plate is generous, and seeing that we do not want to shave our hair, he allows us to only braids and not shave. ”

After listening to Zhang Mengcheng's reply, Yang He also understood that this person was the person who was bent on appeasement among the thieves that Liu Keguan said. At the same time, he also remembered that this person was one of the Zhang brothers mentioned by Du Wenhuan before.

However, Yang He was not in a hurry for a while, so after praising Zhang Mengcheng for a few words, he turned his head and comforted the other two, and at the same time asked them some words of warmth. Liu Jin and Liu Hongru gradually let go of their restraints after Yang He's relief, and they were slowly able to communicate with Yang He.

Zhang Mengcheng saw Yang He's few words, and gradually opened up the situation. I can't help but sigh that historical records can often only reflect one aspect of historical figures. Although the history of the Ming Dynasty put Yang He in the biography of the ministers, Yang He was a feudal official after all. Some of the communication skills are still very sophisticated. He was able to let Liu Jin and others, who had a huge gap with him, let go of their restraints so easily, which shows that Yang He does have some skills.

After some small talk, Yang He beckoned a few people to eat together. I asked what the current attitude of Shen Yikui and other leaders towards Zhao'an was, and got a satisfactory reply. He also made some statistics on what the people of God needed help with, saying that he could help as much as he could.

At the same time, Yang He introduced the attitude of the imperial court, and said directly to the three of them: "This official has always insisted on taking measures against you, but at present, many officials and local squires are opposed. Even those who agree with the soothing policy believe that it is necessary to get rid of the first evil and then pacify it. It's just that this matter will definitely only force you to continue to resist, so this official did not agree. Now that Shen Yiyuan is also dead, there is something to say about their own officials. The matter of Heshui County has already been heard by this official. Presumably, above the court, this official needs to work harder. You must not continue to do evil and cause the destruction of the situation. ”

When the three of them heard that there were many people who opposed the situation, they were still a little worried. Later, when they heard that they were going to get rid of the first evil, they were even more frightened, for fear that Yang He would plan to kill their leader. Then they heard that Yang He was going to push everything on the dead Shen Yiyuan, and they were finally somewhat relieved. Although it seems quite unrighteous to do so, God One Yuan is dead after all, so they don't want to worry about it anymore.

As for what happened in Heshui County mentioned by Yang He, Liu Jin and Liu Hongru had already received instructions from Shen Yikui in advance. So after Yang He finished speaking, Liu Jin also replied: "What happened in Heshui County is not to blame us for the plate and other leaders. We were just trying to eat that day, and we didn't have much murderous intent. In fact, there was a famous leader in our battalion named Ru Chengming, who was too murderous and very fierce for others to provoke. We can only secretly save some of the people of Heshui County, and your cronies have also seen that there are some soldiers and civilians in Heshui County in our camp, and we have saved them one by one in private. ”

After Liu Hongru heard Liu Jin's words, he kept saying that this was indeed the case. Regarding Shen Yikui's behavior of making Ru famous and carrying the black cauldron, Zhang Mengcheng did not say anything. Before Zhang Mengcheng came, Shen Yikui had already been angry with his eldest brother Zhang Mengjin. As long as it doesn't harm his own interests, he is also willing to push everything on Ru Chengming, anyway, the people of Jindingshan have no friendship with Ru Chengming.
