Xu Liang said: "Please wait for a while, and wait for the official to go and explain some things." ”

The two heralds hurriedly bowed their hands and said with a smile: "Lord Xu, please." ”

Xu Liang returned to the front desk of the school field, and in the puzzled eyes of the generals of the Liang army, he smiled helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "Something happened temporarily, and Governor Wu urgently summoned this official to Guyuan Prefecture. Then, this time the Liang army went out, and the official could not go in person. He pointed at Dai Feng, the guerrilla general of Pingliang, and said: "This expedition, General Dai is the commander, Luo Rucai is the vanguard, all the generals should work together, obey the command, and the official is waiting for you to return victoriously in Pingliang Mansion." ”

The generals promised, and Dai Feng said: "Lord Xu, this is going to Guyuan Prefecture, and it will only be a two-day journey back and forth, why don't you take the army to go first, and then catch up after the matter is over?" ”

Xu Liang shook his head and said: "Counting today, it has been nine days since we left Hutou Pass, and there is not much grain and grass in Hutou Pass, so we can't hold on for long!" The soldiers are fast, and there is no delay, so it is better for General Dai to go out as soon as possible. ”

When Dai saw this, he stopped persuading. Xu Liang looked at Luo Rucai, the vanguard of the Liang army, called him aside, and commanded softly: "General Luo, although this official has not personally led the troops there, but during the war, if you can get in touch with the fourth lady in the Li family's army, it is always good to get her help." ”

Luo Rucai blinked his eyes and asked, "If the fourth young lady really helped us and did the internal response, after the matter is completed, will you let Li Jiajun enter Pingliang Mansion?" ”

Xu Liang smiled, his face sank like water, and said: "After the matter is completed, once the Li family's army enters the territory of Pingliang Mansion, you will besiege them in the name of suppressing bandits by the officials and soldiers of the court. Capture the fourth lady Li Ting and her dead ghost grandfather alive. ”

"As long as it's alive?" Luo Rucai asked.

Xu Liang said: "It must be alive, and there is no meaning in the dead." ”

Get everything in order. Xu Liang took a team of Tsing Yi guards and sat in a carriage. With the two heralds, they went to Guwon State.

He went out early in the morning, and only in the evening did Xu Liang enter the governor's yamen. As the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion entered the study of the Governor's Lord Wu Zhiwang, he lowered his head and went in, and when he looked up, he saw that Wu Zhiwang and Hong Chengchou both stood up, facing a red-robed official opposite, Xu Liang looked at it and recognized that the person was actually Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang.

Governor Wu nodded lightly at Xu Liang and turned to face Zhang Fengqi. Said: "Governor Zhang's request will be considered by the Governor at his discretion." Lord Zhang will go back for the time being, and wait for the governor to play the court in everything, and then make a decision after seeing the attitude of the court. ”

"In this case, then it will be the Governor of Lao and the Governor of the Politics Minister. The next official retires! Governor Zhang nodded and said with a bow, and retreated outside the study.

Xu Liang could feel that before Governor Zhang went out, he glared at Xu Liang with a cold gaze.

There is only Wu Zhiwang left in the study, Hong Chengchou. Xu Liang three. Hong Shenzheng chuckled at Xu Liang and said, "Guozhong, have you seen it all?" ”

Xu Liang was stunned and said, "What did the lower officials see?" You mean Governor Zhang? ”

Hong Senzheng nodded and said, "Governor Zhang's mansion suddenly encountered such a big change, and the situation was uncertain. Some excesses are understandable. ”

"What excesses did he do?" Xu Liang asked amusedly.

Hong Shenzheng said: "Since yesterday, Governor Zhang has stayed in the Governor's Mansion and pestered the Governor. Weeping and begging the Governor to redress his grievances. He looked at Xu Liang and said seriously: "In order to appease Zhang Futai." I have ordered the arresters of Xi'an Prefecture to come to Pingliang and thoroughly investigate the fire in the Yamen of the Pingliang Prefect's Mansion. ”

Xu Liang hurriedly said: "It should be checked." Rest assured, the officials of the Pingliang Mansion Yamen will fully cooperate with them in investigating the case. ”

Hong Shenzheng looked at Xu Liang Liang for a long time with a scrutinizing eye, and said, "Guozhong, you can think like this, and finally live up to the expectations of the Governor and me." ”

"The lower officials are terrified." Xu Liang said.

"Hehe," Hong Shenzheng chuckled, glanced at Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides, and saw that this second-grade senior official was spreading out the rice paper, ready to pick up a pen and write something. Then he said to Xu Liang: "Before the facts of the case are clarified, neither Master Wu nor I will give any promise to Governor Zhang." It could be seen that Governor Zhang was very disappointed, and he cried again, asking to be transferred from Pingliang and return to Beijing to take up an idle post. We have no objection to this article. ”

Xu Liang sneered and said, "He thinks it's very beautiful, he made a fuss in Pingliang Mansion, patted his ass and wanted to leave?" ”

Hong smirked. Suddenly, I heard the hearty voice of the governor Wu Zhiwang on the three sides behind the desk: "Yan Yin, Guozhong, how about the two of you come and see the hand of this governor?" ”

When Xu Liang and Hong Shenzheng heard this, they both approached, only to see that on the large white rice paper placed in front of Governor Wu's desk, four strong characters were written in rough pen and ink: Tranquility and Far-reaching.

Hong Senzheng stroked his palms and smiled: "The trip of the husband and gentleman, quiet to self-cultivation, thrift to cultivate virtue, non-indifferent and unambitious, non-quiet and far-reaching." These four words of the adult can be said to be the end of the life of the adult. ”

Governor Wu laughed, pointed at Hong Shenzheng and said, "Yanyin, you are making fun of the old man again." ”

Hong Shenzheng seriously arched his hand and said: "Xia Guan is really a heartfelt statement, how can he make fun of it." ”

Xu Liang's face was hot when he heard this, and he secretly said that he really couldn't see that Hong Chengchou's level of patting his superiors' sycophants was so superb! It is no wonder that he can always be appreciated by the trilateral governors Wu Zhiwang, and enter and exit the trilateral governors' palaces like their own back garden.

Governor Wu smiled, looked up at Xu Liang steadily, and asked, "Guozhong, what do you think of these four words?" ”

Ga? When Xu Liang heard this, he was immediately blinded! He could recognize what those four words were reading, but he was too unfamiliar with calligraphy to comment on why. However, although Governor Wu seemed to ask casually, who knows if this old man was hiding something else?

Xu Liangxin's hands began to sweat, pretending to look at the handwriting, looking at it carefully, but his mind was thinking sharply, how to come out with nonsense, not to lose the face of Governor Wu, but also not to appear too hasty?

"Tsk, tsk!" Xu Liang sighed and said: "Governor, although the lower officials don't know calligraphy, their own pen skills are even worse. However, even a vulgar person like a subordinate official saw this handwriting of Dutai, and felt that it was extremely well written. ”

Governor Wu looked at Xu Liang and chuckled: "Oh, Guozhong, tell me, what's so good about the word old man?" ”

Xu Liang began to scratch his ears and cheeks, and said in a whisper: "Hehe, Dutai, you insist on going down to the official, the next official really can't say it, in short, it's excellent!" ”

Governor Wu and Hong couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "You slippery head!" ”

Governor Wu stroked his long beard, looked at Xu Liang and said slowly: "Indifferent and ambitious, quiet and far-reaching." Guozhong, you are in a high position at a young age, and it is inevitable that you will be arrogant and not rub sand in your eyes. It's just that in life, not everything can be satisfied, eager for quick success, everything has to fight, grab a grab, often in the end is a bamboo basket for nothing. Guozhong is your character and ability, and you are the best choice, and you are a rare talent. It's just that the mind still needs to be tempered, be ambitious, think twice before acting, not impatient, not arrogant, in order to go long, but to become one of the top few people in the Ming court. ”

The people at the top of the Ming Dynasty, what else can they be besides cabinet scholars? Xu Liang received such a high evaluation from Governor Wu, he blushed a little, and sneered: "Governor, you are too elevated to the lower officials. ”

"No!" Governor Wu shook his head firmly and said, "The old man has a lot of confidence in you!" Then Governor Wu looked at Xu Liang, his eyes were full of regret, and he sighed: "It's just that this time, you are too Meng Lang!" ”

Xu Liang was stunned, he realized that Governor Wu had said so much, and he went around and around, and finally returned to the fire in the prefect's yamen.

Xu Liang waved his hand again and again, and defended: "Dutai, this matter really has nothing to do with the lower officials......

Governor Wu interrupted Xu Liang and said, "Guozhong, you don't have to explain, the old man is also from here!" You Pingliang Prefect Yamen don't have to interfere in this matter, and leave it all to the catchers of Xi'an Mansion to deal with. He looked at Xu Liang fixedly and said, "The head catcher in Xi'an Mansion is surnamed Niu, you have to believe him, just like you believe in the old man." ”

Xu Liang couldn't help but be stunned, so it seems that Hong Shenzheng transferred people from Xi'an Mansion to investigate the case, and it was actually the meaning of Governor Wu? Xu Liang felt Governor Wu's intention to protect him, and he couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, and he was very moved.

Governor Wu folded the handwriting, put it in Xu Liang's hand, and said, "This pair of words, the old man will give it to you." ”

Xu Liang nodded heavily, took it carefully, and looked at Governor Wu, his eyes were wet, and he was speechless for a while.

Governor Wu waved his hand and said, "Don't play sensationalism in front of the old man!" I heard that your 30,000 Liang army has already set out? ”

Xu Liang nodded.

Governor Wu looked relieved and said: "Then the governor will not leave you overnight, 30,000 troops are on the march, logistics supply is a big matter, you go back early and deal with it carefully!" ”

After saying that, Governor Wu turned his back and shouted to Chonghong to participate in politics: "Yanyin, you send Guozhong out of the mansion for me." ”

Hong participated in politics and sent Xu Liang, who wanted to stop talking, out.

In the study, Governor Wu quietly turned around, rubbed his eyes, and scolded softly: "This kid is really sensational!" (To be continued......)
