254 For one term of office, for the benefit of one party, Qianshou Li Min, my parents
"The Imperial Horse Supervisor?" Lian Zining said: "I still have a relationship with the eunuch Liu, the commander of the imperial horse eunuch. β
"Hey, I can't remember this if you don't say this!" Xu Fugui slapped his thigh: "Look at my surname!" Before we came, my husband Liu also told me to say a few words to you. β
"Oh? Please speak! Lian Zining immediately realized the importance of these words, and listened attentively.
"Husband Liu said, even the battles you fought are very beautiful, not only the people in the court, but also the emperor in the eyes." Xu Fugui said softly: "It's just that you are too young and rising too fast, so your foundation is unstable." This errand was not arranged by the lord behind you, and before the emperor issued the edict, he did not summon others. β
Lian Zining listened carefully, lest he let go of a sentence, because he knew that Liu Jixiang's few words of understatement could determine his future and fate.
After listening to it, he thought about these words confidently in his heart, but only tasted four words from them - Jane is in the emperor's heart.
"Looking at this, this time Lord Dai did not exert any force from it, but the emperor made his own decision to put me here, because my foundation is unstable, and I will be hung here for a year and a half, so as not to be criticized by others. I think it's because of these successive victories that have attracted the attention of this supreme! Jane is in the emperor's heart, hehe, Jane is in the emperor's heart. β
Lian Zining figured out the joint, and his heart was a little excited.
In this era, no matter who knows that the Supreme Being of the World will pay attention to himself, it is almost the same. After all, these four words are not just words, but will bring tangible benefits, faster promotion, and more benefits.
Lian Zining said: "Father-in-law Xu, after I go back, please say a word to my husband Liu, don't thank you for your kindness, after a few days, there will be a good gift." β
He knew that the favor owed this time was not small, and it was not something that could be thanked in a word, so he made up his mind to send someone back to Beijing after settling down in a few days. As for Liu Jixiang's kindness, he naturally understood that this was an investment, and it was naturally Lian Zining's wish to have a good relationship with the bigwigs in the inner court. However, this relationship is maintained by a large amount of white money.
ββββββ dividing lineββββββ outside Leling County, ten miles into the long pavilion, Lian Zining is bidding farewell to Chen Dakang.
At this time, it is already late autumn, and it is about to enter winter, and it is a deep and distant dry yellow, and the sky is high and the clouds are light, adding a desolation.
Thousands of troops lined up in a neat queue and waited on the side of the road, watching their commanders say goodbye to Lian Zining, the former president of the Wu Yijun and the current town guard of the six counties.
"Alright brother, let's send it here! If you send it down, will you want to send it all the way to Zhending Mansion? Chen Dakang laughed.
Lian Zining is not that hypocritical, he waved his hand, and the soldiers next to him sent a lacquer plate, a pot of wine, and two wine glasses. Lian Zining was full of two cups of bamboo leaf green, picked up a cup, and said with a smile: "Little brother here wishes Brother Chen a smooth journey and a smooth career, and he said goodbye, it is good to replace the complement with a lion." β
Chen Dakang smiled: "You have good luck!" These days you are the landlord, see you next time, my brother invites you to drink! β
The two clinked glasses and drank a full glass of wine.
Both of them are martial artists, the etiquette can be done, and it is not verbose, Chen Dakang turned over and got on the horse, turned around and waved his hand to Lian Zining, haha laughed, and then hit the horse and went west. As he stretched out his hand, thousands of officers and soldiers of the Shenwu Right Guard, followed closely behind, rolling westward.
Looking at the team that was far away, Lian Zining sighed, feeling a little stunned in his heart.
He finally knows now, why the ancients said goodbye, because in this era, there is no telephone, no Internet, fish pass on rulers, geese send lovesickness, transportation is extremely underdeveloped, a parting, it is really possible that sentient beings will never see each other again.
Especially he and Chen Dakang, both are people with official status, and they are even more involuntary, and they say goodbye today, I don't know when they will be able to meet?
A thin figure dressed as a soldier next to him leaned into his ear and said, "Master, everyone has gone far away, and it is time to go back." The squires and wealthy families of the six counties have already arrived yesterday, and I will see you early this morning, but now I am afraid that I am already in a hurry. β
Lian Zining nodded and said, "Let's go, go home!" β
Dozens of soldiers surrounded him and galloped in the direction of the county seat.
After announcing the holy decree, a banquet was held that night to invite the angels, and it was lively, and finally sent the aggrieved Xu Gonggong away.
In the next few days, Zhang Yanchang handed over the jurisdiction of the six counties to Lian Zining, and the other armies except Wu Yijun left the counties, and Wu Yijun was stationed in hundreds of households to maintain law and order and declare authority.
Zhang Yanchang was busy with affairs, and after this matter, he naturally would not do it again, and after eating a banquet, he agreed with Lian Zining to partner in overseas business, and then returned to the capital with his two thousand personal soldiers.
A few days later, the armies left separately, Lian Zining, as the host, was the biggest winner of the war, so he naturally had to set up a banquet to send off.
However, this is finally over, except for the Shenwu Right Guard, the other armies have already left. Chen Dakang and Lian Zining talked about speculation, and the two had already become New Year's friends, so they had been talking for a few more days, and now they finally left.
At this time, in the land of six counties, only Lian Zining and his Wu Yi army were left.
In the past few days, the writings of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials have already arrived in Jinan Prefecture, and then transferred from Jinan Mansion to the following prefectures and counties. With these words, the legal status of the Admiral's six county guards and Ma Zhengyamen can be regarded as established. These days, in addition to the hundreds of households stationed in each county, most of Wu Yijun's army has been transferred to Leling County, and the Zhou Mansion in the past has now been changed to the garrison of Lian Zining in the six counties.
Since he has done this errand of guarding the towns of the six counties, and the civil officials of the six counties have not been sent down, Lian Zining naturally has to temporarily act as the government of these places, and the first thing he did was to send orders to the counties, so that the famous squires and wealthy families in the counties, as well as the famous Xiucai people, came to Leling County.
The group soon entered the city, the city wall of Leling County was built by the Song Dynasty, at that time it was still not far from the border, and it was built tall and majestic. When the white-robed army attacked the city, Leling County ordered Li Fa to lead the three classes of officials and the people in the city to resist, the white-robed army could not attack for a long time and dug tunnels, the city wall was dug down, and the white-robed army entered the city from here. At the mouth of the collapsed city wall now, there are more than 100 laborers, climbing up and down, and a large number of city bricks, rice pulp, loess, and grass ash are piled up next to it.
A small banner of Wu Yijun was standing there.
When they entered the city, the group slowed down and drove slowly, and when the pedestrians saw them coming, they avoided the side of the road and looked at them in their eyes, but they were not afraid and disgusted, but more, but respected from the heart.
From time to time, people knelt on the side of the road, kowtowed to Lian Zining, and shouted: "Master Xie lives me!" β
More and more people knelt down, starting from the city gate, and continued continuously.
At first, there were still one or two, but later, they fell to their knees one by one, and there was no one standing on the whole street, except for their group.
As far as the eye can see, 10,000 people kowtow, this is the taste of power, which makes Lian Zining intoxicated for a while.
He only felt a tremor in his heart, and his whole body trembled slightly, and his face could also float a blush.
At this moment, he was full of pride, but after a moment, he was shocked again.
Qianshou Li Min is what the rulers of the past called them. Indeed, compared with those nobles who wore luxurious soft hats and hats and bright clothes, these people either wore simple turbans, or bare heads, and only tied their hair with soft scarves, at first glance, they were so humble, but closer, looking at the swarthy faces, calloused big hands, strong and sturdy figures from labor, even if they were kneeling, they taught Lian Zining, who was on a horse, to never dare to have a heart of contempt.
It is they who hold up the backbone of this huge empire.
Just a month ago, they single-handedly forged the white-robed army that crisscrossed northern Lubei, and how many children joined the white-robed army and became a member of the anti-thieves. And how many of them died at their own hands? But at this moment, they don't hold a grudge against themselves at all, but instead bow down to themselves with gratitude.
In these words, Lian Zining purchased the grain captured by various armies, and spent money to buy a batch from other places and sent it out. Then he hired craftsmen to repair the houses destroyed by the white-robed army, and distributed quilts and firewood, which was not much, so that these people could barely survive this harsh winter without starving to death. Quilts and firewood just keep them from freezing to death. Lian Zining believes that he just did what he should do, and in his heart, the people under his rule should not have been frozen and starved to death.
But at this moment, they are bowing down with gratitude, blessings loudly, thanking themselves for everything they have done.
The more Lian Zining listened, the more he felt sour.
The Chinese people are really easy to coax.
Regardless of the past and present life, every time I read and read history, I will always be impassioned in my heart, determined to cultivate myself and govern the country and level the world, and determined to do something good for the people of the world! But as an official, with power, and money, I don't know when I started, but I no longer have that attachment and nobility in my heart!
Lian Zining asked himself, if this continues, you can enter and exit the phase, Xuan He for a while, and what is the difference between Yan Song, Xu Jie, and others in history? It's just a Zhang Juzheng!
However, Lian Zining knows that he and them are different!
Next to him, Kang Su looked at Lian Zining and said softly: "The master opened a warehouse to release grain, all kinds of good governance, I don't know how many people can be saved, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a Buddha in ten thousand families." I heard that many people have already provided your place in their homes! β
Lian Zining sighed: "The people of the country are the kindest in the world, as long as they are not driven to a dead end, they will be docile and obedient, and they will work hard." I'm just sitting in my part, at most doing a little better, and they are so grateful to Dade, but they make me a little ashamed of you! β
Lian Zining's eyes swept to the side of the road, where an old man was trembling and kneeling, with gray hair, but only wearing a brown single coat, which was already tattered and shivering in the cold wind.
Lian Zining sighed, dismounted, walked to the side of the road, and helped the old man up, the old man looked at him, his lips trembled, obviously excited to the extreme, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
Lian Zining smiled warmly: "Old man, at your age, if you want to kneel to me, you will let me die." β
After saying that, he took off the mink fur from his body and draped it on the old man's body.
The old man was already frightened, looking at Lian Zining, suddenly his eyes were red, and two lines of tears poured out, and for a while, he was already in tears, crying silently.
Lian Zining smiled warmly, got on the horse, glanced around, and said in a loud voice: "Fathers and fellow villagers, this official Lian Zining is the town guard of the six counties, and he is an official for one term, and this official will benefit one party, so that the people under my rule can live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing!" Lian Zining hereby assures all the fathers and fellow villagers that he will definitely give everyone a bright sky! β
The scene was quiet at first, and then there was thunder.
