Li Xiangrong put down his chopsticks, faced the table full of wine and delicacies, and sighed softly, looking slightly lonely. Master Bai, who was with him on his left hand, immediately asked sensitively: "Why did Li Shi sigh, but is the dish a little unpalatable?" ”

Ye Xiaotian also stopped and looked at Li Xiangrong a little strangely. Li Xiangrong didn't answer, only shook his head, and said to Ye Xiaotian in an unpredictable and profound manner: "Lord Ye, you and I once went to Mercury Mountain on business together, and we can be regarded as good brothers who were born and died, don't you say?" ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled and nodded, "That's natural, Xia Guan has always regarded Brother Li as his own brother." ”

Li Xiangrong sighed again, patted Ye Xiaotian on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "But now that my brother has come to your territory, your brother Ye is not interesting enough, very uninteresting!" ”

Ye Xiaotian was at a loss, he looked at the table, all of them were delicacies from the mountains and seas. This is the third day that Li Xiangrong has come to Huxian, except for breakfast, every meal is a land and water delicacy, extremely grand, "Taibaiju" has now become Li Xiangrong's designated canteen.

The big shopkeeper Sheng Long was repeatedly instructed by the officials of Huxian County to treat Li Xiangrong as the emperor of Weifu's private visit, and bought the most expensive and best ingredients, all of which were used to entertain him, and even the grand shopkeeper, who had not been cooking for many years, put on an apron again.

Wine is also a good wine, the Year of the Crane in Kyoto, the apricot blossoms in Shanxi, the Xifeng in the willow forest, and the sauce in Banzhou, you can choose. Tea is also good tea, jade leaf Changchun, Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots, Bijian Mingyue, whatever you taste, why do you still feel dissatisfied with Li Shi?

Li Xiangrong smiled, ignoring Ye Xiaotian's puzzled gaze, just took a toothpick, picked his teeth, drooped the corners of his eyes, and pursed the corners of his mouth, looking very unsatisfactory. Master Bai's eyes rolled slightly, as if he had realized. After a while, he quietly left the table, and went outside to call the grand treasurer of Shenglong and whispered.

After the banquet was over, Luo Xunjian, Ambassador Li and others who accompanied the banquet said goodbye one after another, and Ye Xiaotian and Master Bai sent Li Shi to the back room. This Taibaiju is not only a big restaurant, but also the best inn and hostel in Huxian, and the best upper room is now Li Shishi's residence.

Ye Xiaotian and Master Bai sent Li Shi to the door and left, and when they left Taibai Ju, Ye Xiaotian said to Master Bai: "Waiting for good wine and meat every day, what is Lao Li not satisfied with, how can we say that we are not interesting enough?" ”

Master Bai smiled but said nothing. When they broke up, they said to Ye Xiaotian: "Xia Guan has figured out a few points, whether he guessed correctly or not, he will see tomorrow." After that, he arched his hand to Ye Xiaotian and left with a smile, leaving Ye Xiaotian confused.

Besides, Li Xiangrong pushed open the door unhappily, his upper room was very large, and it was as big as an ordinary guest room, with a study, a bathroom, and a living room. Li Xiangrong was slightly drunk, staggered into the bedroom, and saw that the lights and candles in the room were bright, as bright as day.

Li Xiangrong raised his eyes. I saw a pair of beauties standing in the room, and when I saw him coming, I bowed down and said in a coquettish voice: "The slave has seen the old man." ”

I saw these two beauties. A slender figure, skin like snow and jade, dressed in evening clothes. The crisp chest is half-full, the white and tender and tall trembled slightly, the light is reflected, the round hemisphere is shiny, white and red, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, the sweetness, maturity, plumpness, and beauty of the flesh filled his field of vision......

Li Xiangrong finally withdrew his gaze, and then looked at the woman next to him, and his eyes lit up again, this girl was at most fifteen or sixteen years old, with a small waist like a willow, immature eyebrows and eyes, a petite figure, a little baby fat dough and a pretty face, wearing a Miao costume and silver jewelry, her body shone when she moved slightly, and Li Xiangrong's two eyes suddenly glowed.

Master Li's drunkenness seemed to suddenly worsen a little, and he asked, "You...... ...... are you? ”

The two beauties, one big and one small, pursed their lips and smiled at the same time, and they came up and grabbed his two arms, and said coquettishly: "Nunu Hong'er (Mi'er), wait for the eldest master to sleep peacefully!" ”

The next day, Li Xiangrong dragged two soft cotton legs, and when he saw Ye Xiaotian and Master Bai, he said with a smile on his face: "Oh, two adults, you guys are so interesting, so interesting, hahaha, how embarrassed does this make Li." ”

Master Bai arched his hand to him and said with a smile: "Adults work hard, it's a small meaning, it's just a little expression of my heart in Huxian County, not respect, not respect." ”

Li Xiangrong smiled and said: "Where is it, Li is already very satisfied with your hospitality, the two adults are so attentive, Li is really embarrassed, since you are so interesting, Li will definitely be interesting enough, you understand what I mean, right?" ”

"Understood! Got it! Master Bai smiled, Ye Xiaotian was still at a loss in his heart, and took an opportunity to quietly ask Master Bai for advice: "Lao Bai, what does Lao Li mean?" ”

Master Bai smiled and said meaningfully to Ye Xiaotian: "My lord, you have a beautiful concubine in your family, and she is attentive." Li experienced being alone, but he couldn't sleep in the cold, we can't be full of men and don't know that hungry men are hungry, you know what I mean, right? ”

Ye Xiaotian muttered to himself: "So that's what it means......"

When Li Xiangrong was in Huxian County, Zhao Wenyuan had already returned to Banzhou with the coffin. According to the system, if an official's parents died, regardless of the official position, he or she had to return to his ancestral home for 27 months from the day he learned of the funeral.

If it is an important figure in the cabinet or a border guard, because it involves the national political situation or the military, it is generally necessary to write to the court and wait for the permission of the court, but like Zhao Wenyuan, he is only a post and does not need it, he handed over the post to the deputy post officer, wrote a letter to the court, and left Huxian in a hurry.

To Yu Junting's surprise, Zhao Wenyuan did not send someone to Banzhou to report the funeral first, he was worried that he was in the field, and once the brothers in the family learned the news, they would divide the family property first, and when he went back, the dust would have settled, although he had his father's "will", it would be difficult to take out the fat in other people's mouths.

Therefore, Yang Yinglong learned the news from the eyes of the Yamen of the political envoy he arranged in Guiyang, and learned that his right-hand man Zhao Xin died, Yang Yinglong was greatly annoyed, Da Amu died, and he needed to promote another cronie to succeed him in this important position, but promoting any one of them would cause vacancies in other positions, and there would inevitably be a series of adjustments.

The Yang family has been running Banzhou for nearly 800 years, the Zhou Dynasty in ancient times. The Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Western Zhou Dynasty combined are less than 800 years, which shows the vigorous vitality of the Tusi family. After 800 years of operation, Banzhou has formed an independent and stable bureaucratic system, and the determination of any important position needs to consider all aspects of the relationship, and Yang Yinglong needs to consider it carefully.

At the same time, he also learned that the Governor of Tongren Zhang planned to promote Ye Xiaotian as the official of the government, and the white master book was promoted to the county order on the spot. And this idea was actually proposed by Yu Junting.

Yang Yinglong was plotting against Tongren, and he really didn't want Ye Xiaotian to go to this place, Yu Junting only thought that he could watch this monkey by delegating Ye Xiaotian to an idle position, but he knew very well that Ye Xiaotian had another layer of identity, so this person's energy should not be underestimated.

It's a pity that he and Yu Junting use each other, including their secret marriage contract is also part of the cooperation, so they have hidden something from each other, and neither of them has revealed all their hole cards to the other party, which has caused an asymmetry of information. As a result, they often do things that tear each other down.

Yu Junting didn't know that he had a secret agreement with the Zhan family before, and as a result, he made a self-defeating decision, but this time because Yu Junting didn't know Ye Xiaotian's identity as a Gu Sect Venerable, he once again made a decision that was contrary to Yang Yinglong. When Yang Yinglong got the news. The Guizhou Political Secretary has reported this to the imperial court, and if Yang Yinglong prevents the appointment of a magistrate, it will be too eye-catching, and he can only swallow his anger. Secretly hoped that the imperial court would veto this proposal.

The turmoil at the court has not subsided to this day. The liquidation of Zhang Juzheng is nearing its end after more than a year. Presiding over the matter is the successor Zhang Siwei. Zhang Siwei originally relied on Zhang Juzheng to enter the cabinet, but Zhang Juzheng's respect for him was far less than that of Shen Shixing.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, Zhang Siwei progressed to become the first assistant. If he wants to keep his position, he must step on Zhang Juzheng in accordance with the holy will, and in order to establish his prestige, he still has to step on Zhang Juzheng, so Zhang Siwei stepped on Zhang Juzheng very happily, not only stepped on Zhang Juzheng, but also stepped on the great eunuch Feng Bao, who had lost his holy favor.

In addition to these two achievements, during his more than a year as the first assistant, he also followed Zhang Juzheng and turned his son into a jinshi, but his prestige and authority were far less than Zhang Juzheng back then, so he didn't dare to be as blatant as Zhang Juzheng and directly arranged a champion for his son.

Shen Shixing, as the heir to the mantle of Zhang Juzheng, did not agree with Zhang Siwei's series of ideas, but in the current environment, he could only protect himself, and it was inconvenient to fight against Zhang Siwei and the emperor in these matters. When the liquidation of Zhang Juzheng came to an end, the two had differences in political opinions, and then they began to confront each other.

Zhang Siwei had already stepped on his hand, and was about to step on Shen Shixing half to death again, but God refused to fulfill him, so he let his father hang up at this time.

Thinking that Zhang Juzheng died of his father, he refused to leave in the position of the first assistant in vain, and was scolded when he was alive, and he was still scolded when he died.

This time, Shen Shixing was promoted to the throne and became the first assistant of the dynasty. When the chapter about Huxian was sent to the imperial court, it was just when Zhang Siwei got out of the way and Shen Shixing took the throne. Shen Shixing was more inclined to Zhang Juzheng's policy ideas, but although he was open-minded, he had a mild-mannered temperament, not as radical as Zhang Juzheng.

Running Guizhou, turning Huling into Huxian County, and setting up liuguan to govern, intending to use this as a breakthrough to open up the situation of Guizhou's millennium of self-reliance and self-isolation, and even secretly sent Jinyiwei to instigate the Tusi rebellion, in order to provide an excuse for the imperial court to crusade, this series of radical measures were all measures taken by Zhang Juzheng during his reign.

As Zhang Juzheng's heir to the mantle, Shen Shixing also attaches great importance to the management of Guizhou, but he does not agree with Zhang Juzheng's unscrupulous approach to achieve the goal, and he prefers to use upright means to change Guizhou with subtle effects.

After the news about Huxian County came up, Shen Shixing carefully considered it, Bai Zhushu was the former Jiangpu Zhi County, and he had no background in Guizhou, and judging from his resume evaluation, he was still a cadre, which was useful. If the main book is used, the original county commander will have to be transferred, so that it is convenient for the new county commander to preside over government affairs, so for the promotion of Ye Xiaotian to Tongren to promote the official, Shen Shoufu also agreed.

So, with a stroke of Shen Shixing's pen, the scourge, the Tai Sui, and the monkey who caused trouble were sent to Tongren Mansion.
