Chapter 389: Sad News
After explaining Lu Tongzhi and Huang Tuiguan's own intentions, Xu Liang went to the backyard of the yamen again and gave some advice on resuming the construction.
For the restoration of the backyard of the prefect's yamen, Lu Tongzhi completely constructed the construction in accordance with the drawings given by Xu Liang. Change the rigid and strict style of the backyard of the yamen in the past, as soon as you enter the door, you will face an oval pond, there are two arch bridges in the middle of the pond, there are two arch bridges in the middle of the pond, the flower path paved with gravel, there are some evergreen flowers and plants planted next to the road, around the pond, it is a small attic, the buildings are not high, the highest is only three floors, the two floors are the majority, there are living rooms, tea houses, pavilions to enjoy the cool on the left and right sides...... Xu Liang walked around slowly and leisurely, feeling a little bit of the artistic conception of the Jiangnan courtyard, so he left satisfied, thinking that when he came back from the war in Hanzhong Mansion, the entire backyard could be moved in directly.
In the next two days, Xu Liang summoned the generals of the Liang army to determine the candidates who went out and stayed behind, and the troops ordered to go out began to assemble in the Dongda camp east of Pingliang City, and the collected grain and grass were also transported into the Dongda camp under the coordination of Luo Baiguan, the head of the Liang army.
Among the generals who went out to fight, Dai Feng, deputy commander of Pingliang, was particularly enthusiastic, and when Xu Liang inspected the East Battalion, Dai was accompanied by the whole process, and the loud voice made the generals surprised.
Deputy General Long Feng saw that General Dai's face was full of red light and his face was full of radiance, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "General Dai, have you encountered any happy events recently?" I see that you are so happy, your hair has turned a lot darker. ”
General Dai smiled proudly, glanced at Xu Liang, who was silent, and shook his head again and again: "Don't say, don't say!" Alas, it's better to have a daughter. ”
The generals laughed. said: "General Dai, are you saying the opposite?" It is said that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. How can it be better to have a daughter than a son? ”
General Dai laughed smilingly. Pouted and scolded: "What do you know! Only by giving birth to a good daughter can you marry a good son-in-law! ”
"Oh!" The generals suddenly realized that General Dai was praising the adults around the corner. So the generals looked at Xu Liang again, and someone asked, "Lord Xu, what good things did you send to the old man?" ”
Someone laughed and said: "That old general Dai's satisfied look, it must be that Lord Xu sent a few more infatuated and resentful women over." ”
"Well, that makes sense. General Dai is old and strong, and he is an ordinary little girl, and he really can't wait. ”
"Haha......"
The generals laughed. General Dai was not annoyed and listened happily.
Xu Liang couldn't laugh at all, he looked at General Dai's expression, and knew that the pair of twin sisters who had just been sent over must have asked General Dai to do it.
Xu Liang saw General Dai smacking his mouth happily, and couldn't help but sneer: I sent two girls over, but I only took care of your old man's diet and daily life, and it has only been a few days, and he actually took care of the bed! This is an old and disrespectful beast!
After inspecting the East Camp, General Dai accompanied Xu Liang out. He stepped forward and whispered to Xu Liang embarrassedly, "That...... Virtuous son-in-law, it's rare that you can take care of the old man's life so thoughtfully, the two little girls you sent over. The old man is very satisfied! The virtuous son-in-law has a heart! ”
Xu Liang's heart was dripping blood, and he said with a strong smile: "It's good if my father-in-law likes it......"
"Rejoice! Of course I like it! General Dai said repeatedly.
Xu Liang snorted, feeling that he was about to suffocate his internal injuries.
Just entered the east gate of Pingliang. I saw two prefects and yamen messengers coming on horseback, and saw Xu Liang's carriage. The two yacha reined in their mounts, turned over and dismounted. Walked to the carriage and reported: "Lord Xu, Lord Lu and Lord Huang, please hurry to the prefect's yamen." ”
Xu Liang poked his head out of the carriage and asked in surprise, "What's wrong?" ”
Yacha said in a nervous tone: "Jin, Jinyiwei is here." ”
Xu Liang was startled suddenly, and shouted to the horseman who was driving the car: "Go to the mansion." ”
Dai Feng next to him asked, "Virtuous son-in-law, do you want the old man to go with you?" ”
Xu Liang waved his hand and said, "No need." General Dai went back early to rest, and led the army to the expedition early tomorrow morning. ”
On the way to the prefect's yamen, Xu Liang was guessing the intention of Jinyiwei. Since the news of Wei Zhongxian's death came out, Emperor Chongzhen was furious, and Jinyiwei commanded Luo to receive thirty court rods, and after Xu Changqing, a thousand households in Xi'an, was assigned to Liaodong, the thousands of households in Xi'an have already been replaced, and the connection between Xu Liang and Jinyiwei has been broken.
At this time, Jin Yiwei came to the Yamen of the Pingliang Prefect's Mansion, what did it mean, Xu Liang really couldn't guess! Xu Liang thought about his watch in the past two months, and felt that there was nothing particularly out of place, even if there were some small mistakes, it was not worth the effort to drive the brocade guard.
If it is said that Jinyiwei is here to drive and take people, but the manpower who comes is obviously insufficient. Xu Liang asked the messenger who summoned him, and there were only three Jinyi guards who came to the prefect's yamen. Although the power of Jinyiwei is monstrous, and the color of hundreds of officials in the court has changed, Xu Liang is dignified and knows from the four grades of Pingliang and holds heavy troops. If the three people of the Jinyi Wei faction want to come to Xu Liang's trouble, it is obviously not enough to see!
Xu Liang thought about it again, but he still didn't figure out what Jin Yiwei was doing in Pingliang at this time.
The carriage drove smoothly into the prefect's yamen, and Xu Liang saw three tall military horses tied to the gate through the window, thinking that they should be the mounts of the three brocade guards.
Xu Liang got out of the carriage, and the officials who had been waiting for a long time led Xu Liang into the lobby of the prefect's yamen.
In the lobby, Pingliang Tongzhi Lu Yifa, the pusher Huang Daozhou sat on one side, and three brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives sat opposite. Xu Liang looked at the brocade guard sitting in his eyes, judging from his dress, that person should be the little flag of the brocade guard.
When Lu and Huang saw Xu Liang coming in, they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly got up, and bowed to Xu Liang and said, "Lord Xu is back." ”
Xu Liang sighed lightly, stood still in the hall, looked at the brocade guard Xiaoqi, and asked, "Three messengers, what advice do you have when you come to my Pingliang Mansion?" ”
Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi was stunned when he heard this, and then he was secretly annoyed. What kind of person is Jin Yiwei, ordinary officials, as long as they see the flying fish suit on Jin Yiwei's body and embroidered spring knife, they are so frightened that they can't speak, all of them are trembling and smiling.
And the red-robed Pingliang from the fourth grade in front of him, who knew Xu Liang, actually had no strange look on his face, and casually stood in the hall, and asked if he had any advice?
Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi was annoyed in his heart, his face was very ugly, he sat on the golden knife, looked at Xu Liang coldly, and asked in a deep voice: "You are Pingliang and Xu Liang?" ”
Xu Liang stood with his head held high, bowing slightly, "It's this official." ”
Xiao Qi snorted coldly and said proudly: "The officials of Pingliang Mansion listen to the order. ”
Lu Tongzhi and Huang Tuiguan listened, and hurriedly straightened their bodies, bowed slightly, and listened carefully.
How is it to obey orders? Xu Liang was really startled at first, at first he thought he was listening to orders, but later he reacted that he was listening to orders! Whose orders are you listening to?
Seeing that Xu Liang was still indifferent, Xiaoqi couldn't help but shout angrily: "Bold, Xu Liang, you dare to disrespect Shangguan!" ”
Xu Liang sneered: "Dare to ask the superior, whose order are you passing on?" ”
The commander of the Jinyi guard proudly bowed his hand to the north and said, "On the orders of Liu Zhongcheng, the new governor of Shaanxi and the prefect of Pingliang Prefecture, Liu Zhilun, I have come to convey Liu Zhongcheng's instructions to you. ”
Xu Liang banged in his head: Shaanxi Governor and Pingliang Prefect? Liu Zhilun? Didn't it say that Hong participated in politics and Governor Wu wanted to make every effort to promote himself to the prefect of Pingliang? Where did Liu Zhilun suddenly appear in this fight?
Lu Tongzhi and Huang Tuiguan also looked stunned and looked at each other.
Xu Liang asked blankly: "The court appointed a new governor of Shaanxi, why don't we have any news at all?" ”
Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi's nostrils turned to the sky, snorted coldly, and said: "The affairs of the court, how can you know about the second officials of the local government!" You don't know, no, didn't the brothers come to convey the order to you quickly! ”
"Lord Xu, do you still have doubts?"
Xu Liang's face was discouraged, his mouth was full of bitterness, and he said bitterly: "It's gone." ”
"Then listen carefully!" Xiaoqi said proudly: "Liu Zhongcheng ordered Pingliang to know Lu Yifa and Xu Liang to suspend the official inspection of Pingliang Mansion, and all officials must wait until Liu Zhongcheng arrives to make a decision!" If there is a violation, it will be severely punished......"
In fact, what the brocade guard Xiaoqi said in the back, Xu Liang didn't hear a word. After Xiaoqi finished speaking, Lu Yifa next to him gently touched Xu Liang with his elbow.
Xu Liangcai came back from the shock, looked at the Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi who had stood up, and then looked at Lu Tongzhi, and asked blankly, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Tongzhi whispered: "My lord, the order has been delivered. ”
"Oh." Xu Liang sighed lightly.
Seeing this, Lu Tongzhi whispered again: "My lord, it's time for you to reply." ”
Xu Liang couldn't help but look at Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi, whose face was as gloomy as a storm, and said dejectedly: "Liu Zhongcheng's order, this official knows. ”
Xiaoqi's face became even darker, and he said with a gloomy face: "Lord Xu, Lord Lu, and the three brothers ran on horseback for three days and three nights in order to convey Liu Zhongcheng's order, and the bones were about to fall apart, and the soles of the shoes were worn out several pairs. ”
What does that mean? Xu Liang looked at Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi strangely, only to see his left hand on his waist, stretched out two fingers and pinched it, and made a gesture of counting silver tickets.
Xu Liangden was furious, these three bastards brought such sad news to Lao Tzu, and they dared to ask for a reward?!
"It's hard all the way, since you're tired, please find an inn on the street to rest! The gate is over there, the three of them have gone all the way, and the official is not far away! ”
Xu Liang said coldly. (To be continued......)
