Chapter 465: To Yuezhou

"It's here, it's here! In front is the capital city of Yuezhou. ”

Thanks to Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, he ordered people to dig the Yongji Canal and the Tongji Canal, which can be regarded as connecting the north and south. Before the canal was built, there were not frequent exchanges between the north and the south, and the economic center was always in the north along the Yellow River.

Later, during the period of the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, the chaos that lasted for hundreds of years led to the southward migration of the northern scholars, and the economic center slowly moved south. It was not until the establishment of the Sui Dynasty that the canal was built and the north-south exchanges became frequent.

Otherwise, in the past, it took a long time to come to Jiangnan from Chang'an, not to mention that the road was not easy to walk, and the waterway was much more convenient. Xue Lang's exile was mostly on the water, and only some sections of the river could not be sailed due to the season, so he walked a few steps. Get on the boat from the Guangji Canal, pass through the Yellow River, and then pass through the Tongji Canal, and arrive at Hangzhou by boat, and the section from Hangzhou to Yuezhou is available by land and water.

When he arrived in Suzhou, Jiang Lin didn't get off the boat, but he still sent Xue Lang to Yuezhou with him, and he had to see that Xue Lang was really settled before he would return to Suzhou.

As far as Xue Lang's heart is concerned, he doesn't want anyone to send him away. When he left Chang'an, he informed all his relatives and friends two days in advance and stopped them from sending them off. Princess Pingyang is his wife, and he can't refuse, otherwise, Xue Lang really doesn't want anyone to send him off, and he feels ashamed.

Xue Lang felt that he was exiled, which was not a glorious thing, so it was good to leave in a low-key manner, and a group of people would send him off...... I'm afraid that others don't know the concubines of Rui Guogong and Princess Pingyang of Anguo, the former right attendant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Xue Lang, was exiled that day!

Therefore, on the day Xue Lang left Chang'an, in addition to Jiang Lin, who went to work with him, and Su Han, who came with him because he couldn't find a suitable doctor and was afraid of illness on the way, Xue Lang declined the send-off of Li Fu, Ye Qing and others, and said with a smile that he didn't need to send him when he left Chang'an, and when he returned to Chang'an three years later, if everyone could go out of the city for ten miles to greet him, it would be excellent.

Jiang Lin knew that he didn't want anyone to say goodbye, so he deliberately advanced the departure time, and asked the relatives who sent him back to the city first, and he took his own soldiers to wait for his brother by the official road.

Compared with the prosperity of Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places seen along the way, Yuezhou seems to be a little behind, and the scale of the city is not as good as the above states.

Since ancient times, exiles, after arriving at the place of exile, have to go to the local area to report, and the local people will arrange work and arrange a place to live for easy care, and they are not allowed to leave without permission. Xue Lang didn't know what work he would be assigned to do. Yuezhou is a famous land of fish and rice in modern times, with complex topography and diverse landform types, such as lakes, plains, mountains, basins, etc., rich in water resources, which is conducive to agriculture.

Under the leadership of the officer, he went to the Assassin's Mansion, and the official went in to report with the paperwork, and after a while, in a burst of footsteps, it was the Assassin who came out with the long history

Xue Lang raised his eyes and looked at it, seeing that this thorn history was slender and eyebrow-eyed, handsome, with a short beard, and looked similar to Xue Lang in age, but he had an outstanding temperament and extraordinary bearing.

Thinking that he would have to make a living under others in the future, Xue Lang knew that he should be low-key, modest and cautious no matter how much he had emotional intelligence, so he took the initiative to step forward and saluted: "The sinner Xue Lang has seen the envoy ......"

Before the ceremony was finished, and before the words were finished, he was strode forward by the assassin Shi and said: "How dare you be a horse salute!" Hurry up, don't bother the officials. ”

Although Xue Lang was exiled, his position as the Duke of the State and the rank of Lieutenant of the Horse were not taken away, and he was only removed from his post as a practical official in the court. The name of this assassin is not wrong!

Thorn Shi said: "The subordinate should visit the horse." ”

As he spoke, he was about to salute, but Xue Lang grabbed him and said, "Xue Lang is an exiled person, how dare he be the courtesy of the envoy." Well, why don't we both be exempt? ”

Thorn Shi groaned slightly, stretched his eyebrows, and said, "It's okay, just listen to the words of the horse." ”

Xue Lang nodded and asked, "Haven't consulted the assassin yet?" ”

Thorn Shi said: "Xiaguan Pei Yunzhao, the word is clear." ”

It's actually surnamed Pei?!

Xue Lang's heart moved, and he asked: "The envoy is surnamed Pei, I don't know which Pei family he comes from?" ”

Pei Yunzhao said: "Don't hide the horse, Yun Zhao is from the west family of the Pei family in Hedong, and Pei Ju, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is Yun Zhao's grandfather." ”

The history of Yuezhou Thorn turned out to be Pei Ju's grandson!?

Xue Lang really didn't expect it, no wonder before leaving Chang'an, Princess Pingyang never said anything about the history of the Yuezhou assassination, thinking that it was because she knew who the history of the Yuezhou assassination was.

When Xue Lang served in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, although he and Pei Ju did not say that they had a good relationship, they could be regarded as happy cooperation. Yuezhou Thorn Shi is Pei Ju's grandson, it is really a good thing, and it has a bit of a relationship. However, if this is a coincidence, Xue Lang does not believe it!

couldn't help but think of the saint's voice and smile when he was in the prison that day, Xue Lang was very suspicious in his heart

The choice of Yuezhou as his place of exile was deliberately chosen by the saint, right? Otherwise, where do so many coincidences come from in the world?

Thinking of the saint, Xue Lang was ashamed and moved in his heart. The minister is incompetent, cannot solve the worries of the saint, and is still taken care of by the saint...... Shame on you!

Xue Lang barely suppressed the fluctuating emotions in his heart, and said to Pei Yunzhao: "It turned out to be the grandson of Pei Gong, I am ashamed to say that when I was in Chang'an, I was the right attendant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and I was taken care of by Pei Gong a lot in the past, and in the future, I will have to work hard to make the king." ”

Pei Yunzhao said: "The horse is polite, the name of the horse, Yun Zhao has heard a lot in the past, since you and I have this origin, there is no need to say more, please enter the house." ”

"Wait a minute."

After Xue Lang confessed, he turned his head to look at Jiang Lin and Su Han, who had been silently accompanying him, and said to Jiang Lin: "Ah Lin, are you relieved now?" Go back and don't miss your appointment. ”

Jiang Lin knew that Pei Ju took good care of Xue Lang when he was in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and wanted to think of this old friendship, coupled with the protection of his sister-in-law, and his upcoming governor of Suzhou, this Pei Yunzhao should not be too embarrassed brother. What's more, as the governor of Suzhou, it is not convenient for him to follow up with the Yuezhou government.

So, Jiang Lin nodded to Xue Lang, and then saluted Pei Yunzhao sincerely: "Pei Tingshi, my brother will ask you to take care of him in the future, Jiang Lin is in a hurry to go to the post, and it is inconvenient, so I will not visit Pei Tingshi today, and when everything is arranged, I will come to visit the monarch's mansion again." ”

Pei Yunzhao said politely: "It turned out to be the Governor of Jiang in person, Pei Mou is relatively unknown, Governor Jiangdu, please rest assured to go to the post, Pei Mou will definitely take care of the horse." ”

Jiang Lin nodded, saluted Pei Yunzhao again, and then said to Xue Lang: "Big brother, when I settle down in Suzhou, my little brother will come to see you again." Hengyu, big brother, please leave it to you! ”

Su Han on the side nodded and said, "Haoge, don't worry, I will wait for Youyang to settle down before returning to Chang'an, and when I pass through Suzhou on my way back, we will meet again." ”

Jiang Lin nodded, and after saluting Pei Shi, he led people to separate from Xue Lang and Su Han and rushed to Suzhou.
