The middle-aged scribe looked at this "Dengzhou News", although the content of the article was spicy and direct, but now it is only built yì, and it has not formed the implementation of the order of the yamen. In tea shops, restaurants and on both sides of the street, you can hear the discussion of Shimin businessmen on this matter, and as soon as this "Dengzhou News" came out, this matter obviously became a hot topic in the streets and alleys.

The style of discussion in Dengzhou made the middle-aged scribe thoughtful, but it was not this that he valued most. This time, the imperial court sent him to Shandong, and of course he also experienced the deep meaning. Just like when the emperor summoned him, he asked, "What is the first thing to do?" ”

And his answer was: "If you want the world to be peaceful, you are choosing to obey the order; Observe the order of merit or not, in the superintendent; Inspector Si Xian, in the patrol side; Inspect the party virtuous or not, in the general constitution. The general constitution wins people, and Yu Shi'an dares to defy the law." It means that the world's government affairs are nothing more than employing people, and using the right people will naturally get twice the result with half the effort. This answer made Emperor Chongzhen Longyan happy, and even made an exception to give the imperial banquet hospitality. Thinking about the words of the emperor during the banquet that day, the middle-aged scribe also knew very well what his mission was in Shandong.

The Emperor wanted to be the one who used it right. Shandong has been suffering for a long time, Liu Zeqing has just died, Zhu Ping'an has taken over the power at the beginning, and the emperor hopes that he can clear the rule of Shandong officials, inspire the people's livelihood, and forge a clear land in the north of the Ming Dynasty.

It is undeniable that scholars have a good name, and Qingliu is even more so. When the middle-aged scribe saw this "Dengzhou News" today, he seemed to understand why Zhao Guangluan, Yang Tinglin and others were willing to stay away from the center and serve as magistrates in this corner of Shandong.

Penglai City is not big, but it looks really vibrant in front of him, which makes the middle-aged scribe feel emotional, and he is also a little tired from running all the way, so he randomly found a small inn to rest.

……

But at this time, the Dusi Yamen was lively. The reason is that there are distinguished guests who came to the door this evening, and it is the wife of Sun Chuanting, the governor of the three provinces who are now suppressing bandits in Henan and Shanxi, as well as his daughter Sun Ruoxuan and the young Sun Shining.

As early as two months ago, Zhu Ping'an received a letter from Lu Xiangsheng. Yan Dao Jingshi epidemic was rampant, Sun Chuanting was outside, his wife was already weak, Sun Chuanting could not rest assured, so he wrote a letter to Lu Xiangsheng in his busy schedule, wanting to send his wife to the Jiangnan area to recuperate.

Lu Xiangsheng immediately thought of Zhu Ping'an's Dengzhou. There is no other reason, Sun Chuanting is now the governor of the three provinces, and he is also a figure on the cusp, once the family members go south, no one may use this as a mouthful. But Dengzhou, Shandong is different, Zhu Ping'an has a good relationship with himself after all, and admires Sun Chuanting very much, I heard that Dengzhou is now more and more prosperous, and he will also leave for Dengzhou to serve in the martial arts hall in half a year, so it seems more appropriate to introduce Mrs. Sun and her party to Dengzhou.

Zhu Ping'an naturally raised his hands to welcome. Today's Sun Chuanting is the supervisor of the soldiers and horses of the three provinces, Shandong is under his jurisdiction, and the current Shandong soldiers and horses have become Zhu Ping'an's private soldiers, although Sun Chuanting led the formation of the regimental training soldiers and Li Zicheng to deal around, but has never transferred Zhu Ping'an's Shandong soldiers and horses, in addition to the absence of the emperor's edict, Lu Xiangsheng and his own face also played a certain role, just for this point, it should be good to entertain Sun Chuanting's family members who came from afar.

After all, Dusi is a yamen, and the identities of Mrs. Sun and others are also quite sensitive, externally, Zhu Ping'an only said that Mrs. Sun's trip was just to seek medical advice, so as not to make a big fuss about it, saying that the supervisor and the town will collude with each other.

Zhu Ping'an's house is not large, and now that Mu Yanzi has simply moved in, it is a little stretched to accommodate Mrs. Sun and her party. Fortunately, the Mu family's mansion is still vacant, and everything is complete, and Lu Xiangsheng has sent the news early in the morning, everything has been replaced with brand new, so there is no problem for Mrs. Sun and her party to move in. Mu Yuling also made arrangements early and selected more than ten diligent servants and maids to serve in the house.

Such enthusiasm made Mrs. Sun feel a little overwhelmed.

Zhu Ping'an is a good "complaint". When Mrs. Sun and her entourage left Beijing, they did not inform Dengzhou, because Zhu Ping'an did not know when Mrs. Sun would arrive in Dengzhou, so he had to send a letter and order the commanders of the Shandong Guards to send troops to meet them along the way, but no trace of Mrs. Sun and her party was found.

Mrs. Sun smiled apologetically, "Master Zhu......!" ”

Mu Yuling on the side had already taken over, "Madam is really polite." My family officials and Lu Shaobao and Sun Inspector are also teachers and friends, and now my wife can come to Dengzhou, it is the honor of my husband and wife, where dare to be worthy of the title of Mrs. 'Adult', just call 'Ping'an'! ”

Zhu Ping'an smiled and nodded repeatedly.

Mrs. Sun couldn't help it, so she had to agree, although Sun Ruoxuan on the side lowered her head, she raised her head curiously from time to time to peek at Mu Yuling, who was dressed in cyan armor and dignified and generous.

"Ping An misunderstood, and it was also a coincidence. My lord has a close friend, a few days ago also rushed to Shandong to take office, learned that the old body and his party are going to Shandong to invite peers, the road is also a good response! ”

Zhu Ping'an was stunned, "Dare to ask Governor Sun's best friend ......?" ”

"It's the new governor of Shandong, Lord Fang Yue Gongfang!"

Zhu Ping'an was suddenly taken aback, he never expected that Fang Yuegong, the new governor, would actually sneak into Penglai City.

Mrs. Sun was even more apologetic when she saw this. On the way, she also offered more than once to send a messenger to Dengzhou to deliver letters, and such a reckless visit is always a bit of a lack of etiquette. However, Fang Yuegong made up his mind to take this opportunity to visit the people of Shandong, as the foundation for his future administration. Because of this, Mrs. Sun had no choice but to follow Fang Yuegong's mention and take small roads along the way. Fortunately, now that Shandong is becoming more and more peaceful, after Liu Zeqing's rebellion, the new army went out in a big way, taking the opportunity to wipe out the Xiangma bandits in Shandong, which indirectly ensured that Mrs. Sun and Fang Yuegong and her party arrived in Dengzhou safely.

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but smile bitterly, and hurriedly exchanged glances with Mu Yuling, "But I don't know where Master Fang is now?" ”

Mrs. Sun was also helpless, "This Fang Qingquan's temper is really stubborn to say." The old man originally wanted to invite him to come to the Yamen of the Dusi together, but he refused, and he had to take a walk around this Penglai City to learn about the customs! ”

"But now that the city gate is closed, I guess Lord Fang should have settled somewhere in the city, right?"

Mrs. Sun nodded, "It should be so, I heard what Lord Fang said, I have to go to Weihaiwei tomorrow to have a look, and I can't go out of the city tonight, so I should rest somewhere in the city!" ”

Fang Yuegong's plain matter made everyone's conversation a little more embarrassing. Fortunately, it didn't take long for Sun Shining to finish washing, change into a brand new clothes and jump out, he recognized Zhu Ping'an, as soon as they met, he threw himself into Zhu Ping'an's arms, and shouted loudly: "Brother Ping'an, last time you said that you wanted me to be a general, learn to bow and fight tartars, don't you know how to speak?" ”

One sentence immediately amused everyone, and the entire mansion also added countless liveliness and liveliness because of Sun Shining's child's existence.

Mrs. Sun held back a smile and straightened her face, "Shining must not be rude!" ”

Sun Shining tilted his head, but he ignored his mother's reprimand, "Brother Ping'an personally promised me that day, he is a good man who stands up to the sky, is it possible that he can still speak?" ”

Zhu Ping'an smiled and stroked Sun Shining's little head, "Shining has already given me the name of a hero, how dare I break my word!" ”

Turning his head to Mrs. Sun, he said: "When Shining said this, the little nephew remembered something, in a few months, Lu Shaobao will go to Dengzhou Lecture Hall to serve as the teaching director, which is the place where I train officers for the Ming official army." A few months ago, in a letter, he set up a children's class in the lecture hall to teach the scriptures and the military affairs on the other, so that he could cultivate both civil and military affairs for a long time. Now that many famous families and martial artists in Dengzhou have sent their children over, I wonder if Mrs. is willing to let Shining go to this children's class to practice? ”

Mrs. Sun is not a rigid person. Although Sun Chuanting was born as a civil official, and the eldest son Sun Shirui in the family also took the imperial examination, but the young Sun Shining liked to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, and he admired his father even more, and now it is rare that Zhu Ping'an also likes him very much, and recommends him to Lu Xiangsheng's door, how can Mrs. Sun be unwilling!

Seeing that his mother agreed, Sun Shining's little face suddenly blossomed. Zhu Ping'an also stood up at the right time and invited everyone to the front hall for a banquet.

Sun Shining held Zhu Ping'an's hand and insisted on going with him. Mu Yuling approached Zhu Ping'an with a smile, "I can't see that you are quite childlike!" ”

Zhu Ping'an smiled and whispered in her ear: "Since you know this, don't hurry up and spread the branches for my Zhu family!" ”

Mu Yuling's face suddenly turned red, and one hand had reached under Zhu Ping'an's ribs unconsciously and pinched it fiercely.

These small movements of the two couples were not noticed by others, but they were seen by Sun Ruoxuan, who was walking last, looking at the harmonious appearance of the husband and wife, Sun Ruoxuan's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of imperceptible loss.

After the dinner began, Zhu Ping'an was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he specially arranged for Yang Dekai and Yin Shigang's wives to accompany him with Mu Yuling, and he said goodbye and returned to the Dusi Yamen.

As soon as he entered the official hall, Yin Shigang had already run in out of breath, "My lord, it has been found out that Fang Yuegong has settled in the Yuelai Inn in the east of the city!" ”

"How many people are with you?"

"But two of them, and four servants!"

Zhu Ping'an touched his chin and smiled, "I can't see it, but this governor is quite bold, just these few people dare to make a private visit and go to the grassroots level to investigate!" ”

Yin Shigang gasped for breath and laughed, "This governor is only in his thirties, but he seems to be both civil and military, and the spies can see it very clearly, his saber that never leaves his body is definitely not an ornament!" ”

"Have they made sure about tomorrow's itinerary?"

"This Lord Fang's personal entourage has asked the people at the inn about the route to the trade zone, and he should visit there tomorrow!"

"Good!" Zhu Ping'an clapped his hands, "Since the governor has arrived in Dengzhou, then we have to say hello to him!" ”R1152
