A few days later, Zhao Shuo's team arrived in Yanzhou, outside the city of Yanzhou was the Fuchun River, where Zhao Shuo was going to cross the river and go to Wuzhou. Of course, Zhao Shuo came here for another purpose, that is, to find the support www.biquge.info of the magistrate here.

The name of the governor of Yanzhou is Lu Kuan, who is in his thirties and was born as a Jinshi. When his subordinates reported to him that when King Pingnan arrived at the north gate of Yanzhou, Lu Kuan, who was still admiring the flowers, immediately changed into official clothes and summoned all the officials of Yanzhou to go to the north gate to greet him.

They know who King Pingnan is, and they also know the purpose of King Pingnan's southward journey. As for the relationship between King Pingnan and Gaozong, they have also heard of it slightly.

With complicated feelings, a group of officials came to the north gate. After seeing the soldiers brought by Zhao Shuo with his own eyes, the mood that was originally a little apprehensive settled down. They knew that the rumors were true.

"Xiaguan Yanzhou Zhizhou Lu Kuan, see King Pingnan."

"Xiaguan Yanzhou General Judgment ......"

"Xiaguan Yanzhou Master Book ......"

……

A group of officials fell to their knees one after another!

For such a big welcome ceremony, Zhao Shuo really didn't expect it, and was slightly stunned, Zhao Shuo raised his hand.

"Get up!"

After all the officials got up, Zhao Shuo continued. "This king went south this time to pacify the mob, passing through Yanzhou, it is indispensable to disturb you, and I hope you are psychologically prepared!"

When other officials meet, they first greet each other for a while, then eat and drink, and only after they are full of wine and food will they talk about some affairs. As soon as Zhao Shuo met, he said the purpose, which made the officials stunned, they couldn't understand, what did this young prince want to do?

"Hehe......" Lu Kuan, who was an old fritter in officialdom, laughed twice and resolved the somewhat embarrassing atmosphere. Where did the prince say, the prince traveled thousands of miles south to pacify the mob, but it was for the safety of the society of the Great Song Dynasty. As officials of the Great Song Dynasty, we should make a contribution to this. If the prince has anything, just give orders, as long as I can do it as an official in Yanzhou, I will definitely bow down and die. ”

That's a good point! This is the evaluation given by Zhao Shuo, and Lu Kuan was given three words separately - old fox.

The high-sounding mentioned earlier, in the end, it is the one who can do it and die with all his might, what can be done and what cannot be done, not by mouth casually.

Zhao Shuo rubbed the tip of his nose and frowned slightly, this Lu Kuan is not easy to deal with.

"Lord Lu is chivalrous, loyal and patriotic, and he is really a model for officials in the world!"

"The prince praised it falsely, the lower officials dare not be ashamed, and they dare not be ashamed!" Lu Kuan bowed and smiled.

Zhao Shuo was speechless, Da Song became like this, and it had nothing to do with too many officials like this, sighed, and went straight to the point. "Lord Lu, our army wants to cross the Fuchun River and exterminate the southern mob, so we must rest in Yanzhou for a few days, and in these few days, we will harass Lord Lu."

"Where did the prince say, he could contribute to pacifying the mob, Lu couldn't ask for knowledge." Speaking of this, Lu Kuan made a gesture of please. "Lord Wang, please!"

Zhao Shuo nodded slightly, and walked forward, followed by Gonggong Feng, Lin Feng, Ling Yun, Zhu Feng, Zhang Chujiu, Yan Wu, Xiao Fluttershy, and others behind him.

A group of figures had just entered the gate of Yanzhou, and Lu Kuan ran to catch up. "Lord, stay here."

Zhao Shuo turned around. "Lord Lu regretted it!"

"The prince laughed." Lu Kuan pointed to the more than 600 soldiers who followed behind Feng Gonggong and others. "It is natural for the prince and the generals to enter the city, but these soldiers ......"

"Lord Lu is afraid that they will rebel?" Zhao Shuo smiled sideways.

"The prince really loves to laugh!" Lu Kuan smiled a little awkwardly. "The prince really doesn't know?"

"If you have anything to say, you can just say it, I don't like to beat around the bush." Zhao Shuo said lightly.

"Lord, the law of the Great Song Dynasty clearly stipulates that soldiers are not allowed to enter the city without special circumstances." Lu Kuan saluted.

"Oh? That's it! Zhao Shuo scratched his temple with his index finger. Maybe Lord Lu has misunderstood, look at them, the old, weak, sick and disabled, where are the soldiers? If you really want to give it a name......" Zhao Shuo pondered for a moment. "I can only count as a descendant of my Zhao Mansion."

"Inferior?" Lu Kuan was dumbfounded, his slightly open mouth never closed, and his finger pointed at those soldiers. "A subordinate in a military uniform?"

"Alas!" Zhao Shuo let out a long sigh. "I can't help it, although I am a prince, but the court has not given me any money, now let me pacify the mob, I have to organize these unsuccessful subordinates. As for the military uniforms, they were all picked up on the road, and I didn't expect that there would be so many deserters. ”

Zhao Shuo was completely fighting for his eyes and talking nonsense, but Lu Kuan did not refute it. "Since this is the case, it is rude for the lower officials, I hope the prince will understand."

Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "Hey~, Lord Lu is serious. Lord Lu is also to maintain the law and discipline of the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty can have an official like Lord Lu, and this king is deeply grateful. ”

After another false gesture, everyone entered Yanzhou.

Lu Kuan arranged a separate mansion for Zhao Shuo, Feng Gonggong and others, and those soldiers were arranged into the surrounding inns! Since he was not a soldier, he could not arrange to enter the barracks, which made Lu Kuan very unhappy, because these soldiers made him spend a lot of money, but there was nothing he could do.

Zhao Shuo's residence, after eating and drinking nonsense, everything returned to calm again, and sent away the person who accompanied him to eat; Lu Kuan and other officials also sent away Gonggong Feng, Lin Feng and other generals, and Zhao Shuo, served by Fluttershy, returned to the bedroom and lay down on the bed, he wanted to have a good rest.

I don't know how long I slept, but I dimly heard someone talking at the door.

"The prince is resting, you can't go in."

"I have an urgent matter now, and I must see the prince."

"I said Second Lieutenant Ling, if there is anything you can't say tomorrow, you have to wait for the prince to rest, do you know that the prince hasn't slept for a day along the way? Now that I'm finally asleep, I don't allow you to disturb him at all. ”

"Miss Fluttershy, oh, I'm in a hurry, if you don't let me see the prince, if something goes wrong with the army in the future, you can't pacify the mob, but it's all your responsibility!"

……

Zhao Shuo turned over, rubbed his cheeks, sighed, and spoke. "Fluttershy, let Lingyun in!"

Fluttershy snorts from outside the door, followed by a very unfriendly voice. "Let's go inside!"

Squeak~, the door opened, and Ling Yun rushed in with an anxious face.

"What's the matter, in such a hurry, could it be that the mob has attacked Yanzhou?" Zhao Shuo rubbed his temples and said.

"This is not it!" Ling Yun stabilized his figure. "Is it about the material of the shell?"

"Say!" Zhao Shuo snorted again.

"The man who was sent out to buy materials has returned, but nothing has been found......"

Before Ling Yun's words were finished, Zhao Shuo spoke. "That's for sure, the shells are government-run, how can the people have the materials to make them."

"Huh? Lord Wang, why didn't you say this earlier? Ling Yun was dumbfounded.

"This is common sense, my Second Lieutenant Ling!" Zhao Shuo shook his head speechlessly. "If you need materials, go to Lord Lu to ask for them, I think he should have a little bit here."

Ling Yun lowered his head and said with some embarrassment. "The last general is gone, but Lord Lu said that the materials for making cannonballs belong to the control of the Gunpowder Bureau, let us write a note to the imperial court first, and wait for His Majesty to give an order, and the Gunpowder Bureau can only give it to us after the Gunpowder Bureau has an approval."

"Are you stupid?" Zhao Shuo stared at Ling Yun with a cloudy face. "Aren't you just a Gunpowder Bureau officer? Do you think my uncle will approve me if I write a recital? I said, you look very smart, why don't you turn your brain so much! ”

"Then I'm ......" Ling Yun opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"If you go to that Lu Kuan again, just say that you are an official of the Gunpowder Bureau, and then take the holy decree given to me by my uncle and let him see it for himself."

Fluttershy sensibly takes the decree, and Zhao Shuo gives it to Ling Yun. "If that Lu Kuan is smart, he knows what to do! And, it should be very proper! ”

Ling Yun nodded and withdrew with the holy decree.

As soon as he left Zhao Shuo's residence, Ling Yun began to gasp for breath, sweat overflowing from his forehead, and his back was already soaked.
