After giving the name card to the doorman Li Ji, Xiao Mo and Zhao Guanying were invited to the guest hall, and then the guards entered the inner courtyard to report to Li Zhun.

Li Yuan looks no different from an ordinary mansion, but after all, it is the old mansion of the imperial court, of course, there are some differences, such as the backyard, which is a garden of dozens of square meters, which ordinary people dare not compare.

The garden is planted with many flowers, including peonies, orchids, begonias, ...... There are also some ornamental trees after all, Li Zhun dressed up as a farmer, personally repaired flowers and trees, and read books in the pavilion for a while when he was tired.

Hearing the report from the guards, Li Zhun took the name post, and found that it was his son Li Ji who signed it, so he laughed and said to the guards: "This Xiao Ziheng is finally here!" Hehe...... Let him in! ”

The guard frowned and asked, "My lord, summon him here?" ”

He wasn't sure that this garden was where Li Zhun entertained his friends on weekdays, and that Xiao Ziheng looked like he was just a teenager, and in his own image, Master Li didn't have such a year-old friend!

Li Zhun nodded and said, "It's here, he was originally the governor of the Shaofu in Shen County, and he was forced to come to Jiangning!" ”

"It turned out to be Da Lang's man, hehe......" The guard nodded when he heard this.

When he returned to the guest hall and learned that Li Zhun had summoned him to the backyard, Xiao Mo was a little flattered, and followed the guard to the garden, and on the way, Xiao Mo politely asked the name of the guard.

The guard's name is Fu Heng, Xiao Mo didn't say anything after hearing the guard's name, but Zhao Guanying's face changed next to him, and he found an opportunity to take advantage of Xiao Mo's inattention, and told him in a low voice: "Fu Heng turned out to be the vanguard of the Taiyuan Xiang Army, I didn't know how to come to Li Xiang's mansion......"

When Xiao Mo heard this, he nodded, he had already seen that this guard was not an ordinary person, he seemed to have a high reputation in the Prime Minister's Mansion, it turned out to be a general!

However, after the defeat of Taiyuan, the officials and generals who were too far away were all decentralized, and it is estimated that it was for this reason that Fu Heng came to Li Zhun's side.

After seeing Li Zhun, although Li Zhun was dressed as a farmer, Xiao Mo could still see Li Ji's appearance and outline from his face, so he hurriedly saluted and said, "Student Xiao Mo, meet Li Xianggong!" ”

"Huh...... Ziheng is polite! Li Zhun laughed: "This Xianggong's name, don't mention it!" ”

"Xiao Mo?" Fu Heng next to him was surprised when he heard this, and asked Li Zhun: "My lord, but Luzhou Xiao Mo...... The Xiao Mo who made Han Qianzi be demoted? ”

"Exactly!" Li Zhun nodded at Fu Heng.

Listening to Fu Heng's words, it seemed that he and Han Ying had something to do.

"Disrespectful!" Fu Heng hugged Xiao Mo with a fist, and Xiao Mo hurriedly returned the salute.

"Who is this strong man?" Fu Heng looked at Zhao Guanying again.

Zhao Guanying said: "Under Zhao Guanying, the ancestral home is Taiyuan ......"

"Taiyuan ......" Fu Heng's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and then fell silent.

It seems that Fu Heng thought of the war in Taiyuan a few years ago, and Li Zhun saw that everyone was silent, so he smiled and said: "Ziheng is a guest from afar, why is he so polite?" Let's all sit down! ”

Then Li Zhun had some refreshments served, and the four of them sat down opposite each other in the pavilion.

Wuyi Lane, the gate of Xie Mansion.

A carriage was heard at the door, Xie Yan frowned and asked the servant next to him: "Go and see, Jing'er hasn't come out yet." ”

The servant said yes and was about to enter Xie's mansion, but saw Xie Yunjing running out with a smile, and then hugged Xie Yan's arm and said, "Grandpa, the eldest brother said that there will be a poetry meeting in Phoenix Terrace later, so he won't go!" ”

"Poetry Club?" Xie Yan looked at Xie Yunjing curiously, and said with a smile: "Jing'er, don't you want to join in the fun if there is a poetry club?" ”

"What's so lively, Jiang Ning's talent is just like that......" Xie Yunjing dared to say anything in front of Xie Yan, and said Jiang Ning's talent like a straw bag in one sentence. The last time I heard that Yan You from Hangzhou was coming, I deliberately followed it to see it, but as a result, it wasn't an empty run, and I didn't hear any articles! ”

This is a fact, but that time Qi Fang Pavilion was not without gains, at least I met Xiao Mo, didn't he?

"It's always good to get to know more talented people with your brother!" Xie Yan grimaced, and scolded with a smile: "Like a wild girl all day long, follow me, an old man, what kind of handsome talent can you know, you will always marry in the future......"

As soon as it came to getting married, Xie Yunjing instinctively became nervous, and then pulled Xie Yan into the carriage without reluctance.

Inside the carriage, Xie Yunjing asked, "Grandpa, where are you going this time?" ”

Xie Yan said: "Oh, I went to Li Xianggong's mansion, I haven't played chess with Li Xianggong for a long time, and I have some itchy skills...... Hehe! ”

"Li Xianggong, ......" Xie Yunjing pouted and said, and suddenly had no interest, so she had to think that she was accompanying Xie Yan.

Li Yuan, in the pavilion in the backyard, Li Zhun and Xiao Mo started a routine, and then talked about the situation in Shandong.

Glancing at Xiao Mo, Li Zhun said intentionally or unintentionally: "Ziheng, I heard that you were in Luzhou, and you once fought with the White Lotus Sect, and you also let them defeat Shen County and become a lost dog, I don't know what Ziheng thinks of Shandong?" ”

Here it comes! Xiao Mo's heart was shocked, and he quickly sat up straight, and said: "Students serve their mothers at home every day, and they don't even have a pitiful amount of time to study, but they are afraid that the students will not be able to answer the questions of adults!" ”

Not salty, not light, neither humble nor arrogant, Xiao Mo's calm tone resolved Li Zhun's temptation.

Li Zhun frowned, it seemed that Xiao Mo didn't care about the situation in Shandong, in fact, Li Zhun knew that Xiao Mo was making a show for himself, indicating that he didn't want to get involved in dealing with the White Lotus Sect.

Originally, with Li Zhun's identity, he could ask Xiao Mo for advice, which shows that Li Zhun intended to let Xiao Mo help him, and the imperial court wanted to restore Li Zhun, of course Li Zhun himself was also clear, but Li Zhun also knew that it was impossible for the emperor to restore his previous position at once, so he could only give himself a similar identity as a Shandong Economic Envoy first, first sweep away the White Lotus Sect, and then transfer back to the capital.

Since he had to deal with the White Lotus Sect, Li Zhun certainly hoped that Xiao Mo could help him.

However, the current Xiao Mo seems to have no intention of going to court at all, of course Li Zhun is unwilling to let Xiao Mo go like this, so he said with a straight face: "Ziheng, since you call yourself a student in front of the old man, then you will be blamed on the old man's words, Ziheng said to take care of his mother, filial piety first, of course it is true, but the prince of heaven and earth, loyalty and filial piety, the order must be clear!" This Shandong matter is to disturb the country's capital, can't Ziheng make a statement? ”

This is a trick, Xiao Mo heard this, and sighed helplessly in his heart, it seems that Li Zhun recognized himself, so he had to say: "Since Master Li said this, the students will know everything!" ”

"That's right!" Li Zhun nodded.

"Master Li, it's still the same sentence, the student is really not so clear about the affairs of Shandong......" Xiao Mo paused, saw Li Zhun displeased when he heard his words, and hurriedly said: "But the student is in Huainan, and he still knows something about the two Huai!" ”

The two Huai are Huaidong and Huaixi, and in the An Dynasty, Huaidong Road and Huaixi Road are collectively called the two Huai Road.

"Oh?" Li Zhun was surprised when he heard this. "What can these two Huai do? No matter how much the White Lotus Sect jumps like this, it won't be able to get out of Shandong! ”

This is a fact, since the imperial court plans to use troops against Shandong, of course it will do a good job in the defense of the rear, the White Lotus Sect is extremely strong in Shandong, but it does not dare to come out, as soon as it comes out, I am afraid that it will become a paper tiger, without the advantage of the head snake, so against the imperial court?

"Lord Li is right, but have you ever thought about it, once the territory of Shandong, the Xiang army is defeated, what will be the consequences?" Xiao Mo asked, and reminded again: "My lord, think more about the people!" ”

Li Zhun shook his body when he heard this, and then looked at Xiao Mo. "Ziheng is saying, homeless?"

Li Zhun also thought of it, but it was under Xiao Mo's reminder!

Fu Heng next to him was also surprised when he heard the word 'homeless', he had experienced the defeat of the Taiyuan army, when the Taiyuan army was defeated, the deserters and the wave of refugees like locusts all over the mountains were deeply left in his memory, and now when he thinks about it, Fu Heng's heart will hurt!

That's my conscience, condemning myself for not doing my duty!

Of course, Fu Heng can't be blamed for the defeat of Taiyuan, after all, he is just a pioneer all the way, and he has no decision-making power, and the defeat of Taiyuan is caused by many reasons combined, Fu Heng thinks so, but he feels ashamed of his father and fellow villagers!

"Yes, it is the displaced people, not the adults and the officials of the two Huai, have you ever thought of how to settle the upcoming wave of refugees in Shandong?" Xiao Mo's words struck a thunderbolt into a sunny sky, which shocked Li Zhun's heart, and then glanced at Xiao Mo with a complicated look.

Now the officials of Lianghuai are watching the war in Shandong, but no one thought that under the unfavorable situation of the war, the situation that Xiao Mo said, in terms of the number of people in Qingzhou, if the refugees really go south, I am afraid that there will be hundreds of thousands, and if we don't make arrangements early, I am afraid that it will really cause a catastrophe at that time!

Li Zhun finally believes it now, why does Li Ji respect Xiao Mo in his letter to himself, and he must let himself find a way to take Xiao Mo to Shandong.

The first is that Li Ji is worried about his father Li Zhun, so he wants Xiao Mo to assist; Second, isn't it an affirmation of Xiao Mo's ability?

In Li Ji's heart to Li Zhun, he commented on Xiao Mo like this: "Ziheng is a frank person, has the people in mind, and is resource......ful in good governance."

Good governance is resourceful, such an evaluation can be said to be very high!

Throughout history, how many people can be called 'good governance'?
