Chapter 80: Futai arrives

Hua Qingfeng and Li Xiangrong seemed to hit it off at first sight, and the two soon talked and laughed. With Ye Xiaotian, the plague god pestle, beside him, others were reluctant to come forward to disturb, so Hua Qingfeng and Li Xiangrong talked for a while.

At the third pole of the day, a quick horse came to report that the governor's guard of honor was ahead, and everyone immediately got ready.

The liuguan is arranged in three columns, and the local officials are arranged in three columns. The three columns of liuguan are respectively arranged according to the categories of civil officials, military attachés and retired officials, and then according to the size of seniority and official position. The three columns on the side of the local officials were arranged in three columns according to the civil officials, military attachés, and the Tusi who did not have official positions appointed by the imperial court. As for the ordinary gentry, they stood on both sides and took on the task of waving the flag.

In fact, Governor Ye's convoy should have arrived half an hour earlier than this time, but he also sent people to the front from time to time to explore the way.

They traveled through mountains and rivers, and it was impossible for them to carry signs and flags, and they had strict guards of honor all the way. At this time, he changed into a bright official uniform, and played various brands and flags of silence, avoidance, official rank, and fame.

Hundreds of people changed their clothes and changed clothes, and they were really busy for a while, so they were delayed for a while. When all the people and horses were prepared, Governor Ye officially started the majestic governor's guard of honor, sounded the gong all the way, and went straight to the Shili Pavilion.

The shadow of the governor's convoy could already be seen in front of him, and all the officials and gentry immediately stopped the commotion and stood up one after another, ready to greet them. At this time, another group of men and horses suddenly came from behind.

The two teams of knights, guarding a sliding pole in the middle, sat an old man with a clear face and white beard, with a faint smile on his face, slowly walked over from the middle of the two lines of liuguan and tuguan.

There was a commotion among the crowd at first, who had arrived at this time, and seemed to be even more ostentatious than the governor who had come from afar? is slightly criticizing, turning his head to look. Seeing that it was the old man of Anguo Wei'an, the king of toast, everyone couldn't help but change their faces again.

"Old man An?"

"Why is he here?"

"Even Old Man An is here, our new governor really has face!"

No wonder everyone was surprised, when the successive governors arrived, the head of the An family never came to greet them.

As a feudal official, the governor holds great power and can act in a way that kills and kills, in fact, he is the emperor of the soil within his jurisdiction, except for a few civil and military officials whose status is only slightly inferior to him, and the governor has no right to deal with them. Everyone else snorted at him.

But Guizhou is different from other provinces, this is the world of local officials, there are too many local emperors, and the influence and authority of the governor will be greatly affected.

Now that Old Man An is here, in the hearts of everyone, Ye Mengxiong, a powerful minister who has admired his name for a long time, has also climbed a level in the hearts of everyone. The officials, who were still a little disappreciative in their hearts, didn't feel it anymore.

The sliding rod stopped at the front of the line, and the eldest prince An and his father pulled the saddle and dismounted, standing on the left and right of the sliding rod, and the old man An still sat on the sliding rod and did not stand up. It wasn't until the team approached that Old Man An stepped lightly on the sliding rod, motioned to the pole bearer to put him down, and slowly stood up.

The governor's guard of honor arrived first. The cavalry team, the foot team, the flag team, and the card team ...... and when they got closer, they all cracked to the left and right, slowing down and slowly passing by the welcoming men and horses. When the carriage stopped in front, the honor guards on both sides stopped in unison, and Huo Ran turned to the middle and stood opposite.

Sixteen ironclad horsemen stood on either side of the governor's chariot, the tall horses were majestic and majestic, the knights on the horses were brightly armoured, the swords were hung with shields, the spears in their hands were the thickness of cobblestones, and the sharp blades of the shining steel spears were a foot and a half long, which was daunting.

They are not allowed to dismount, they are heavy horses, once they get on the horse, they will not come down easily, because it is too difficult to get on the horse again, and if there is no one next to them, it is difficult for them to put on a heavy armor and re-mount the horse. But the other horsemen dismounted in unison, and stood solemnly.

Ye Xiaotian's eyes narrowed slightly, and the information about this Governor Ye slowly flashed in his mind. Some people have investigated Governor Ye's resume, some have inquired about his preferences, and some have guessed the main direction of his administration......

Ye Xiaotian who came out of the prison has a special angle of doing things, he has seen a lot of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in prison in the prison, so he has always thought that looking at those high-ranking officials with decent scenery and grand prestige from the table, he can't see anything at all, and he has to investigate their private ethics and private behavior, so that he can most accurately judge a person's character, character and style of doing things, so he also sent people, but what he investigated was Ye Mengxiong's most private behavior.

However, the results of the investigation did not make any eye-catching findings, Ye Xiaotian is not a gentleman, he also has a lot of privacy that is not humane, but this Governor Ye does not, he is a real gentleman, what he looks like in public, what he looks like in private.

To be able to be a feudal official, the methods and means of doing things, scheming and wisdom are naturally there, and the upright and stupid people don't know how to be flexible to the point of a mess and can still be a high-ranking official, and they have been just a Hai Jui for thousands of years, but such a person can be known for his honesty and morality at most, and the officials can't talk about it.

If you want to make a career in the most complex ecological environment of officialdom, how can you not have a little strategy, even the highly praised Bao Qingtian is actually not like the stage stage, he is a good official, but the real Bao Zheng in history, getting along with colleagues and accompanying the emperor, the means are also quite sleek and clever.

Ye Mengxiong is the same person, for example, this time he bowed down to Old Man An, and forced him to come to greet him, so as to enhance his prestige, which was one of his means. But after Ye Xiaotian's investigation, Governor Ye did indeed have no personal virtues, and he did not have any handles for others to handle.

Such a bright and upright gentleman, Ye Xiaotian is naturally very admired, but admiration is admiration, once he is faced with such a person, it is obviously extremely difficult to deal with. Although Ye Xiaotian had listened to the hexagram given to him by Ye Mengxiong beforehand, he was still a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Ye Mengxiong, loyal and honest, talented, daring, strategic, proficient in the art of war, good at power and change, is a famous minister in the world......"

An Guowei squinted a pair of old eyes, silently reading his evaluation of Ye Mengxiong, and looked at the governor who lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage with a crown in court clothes.

Ye Mengxiong was fifty-six years old at the time, but his beard and hair were all black, and he was handsome, and he should have been a beautiful man when he was young. In fact, there is no one who can be named a jinshi who looks bad, just good literary talent and good grades are not enough, and official etiquette is also an important criterion for choosing you to be an official.

Ye Mengxiong walked out of the sedan car, his eyes swept towards everyone, he had been in the officialdom for a long time, and the majestic and solemn temperament cultivated by his experience had a terrifying momentum. Everyone was heartbroken when they saw it, this old man is not the kind of person who is easy to bluff.

Ye Mengxiong's sharp eyes swept towards everyone, and he took in everyone's expressions, he smiled slightly, stepped down the pedal, suddenly accelerated two steps, stretched out his hands, and the shoulders of the old man An, who was about to shake, were just shaken by him. The courtesies are still exchanged, and the old man An has given him enough face, and Ye Mengxiong has to repay him.

"The old gentleman is the old man An, he has admired the name for a long time, and he has admired the name for a long time!" Ye Mengxiong took Old Man An's hand, shook it a few times affectionately, and said enthusiastically: "Ye Mou is an official in your land today, and I will maintain it more in the future!" ”

An Guowei said humbly: "The governor is too polite, the old man is looking forward to the coming, but he is looking forward to Ganlin." In the future, with the presence of Lord Futai, Guizhou will be politically harmonious, all industries will be prosperous, and the old man will be very happy. ”

The two of them held hands and laughed, Hua Qingfeng squeezed in front of the two of them with a red face, since Ye Mengxiong asked him to play the front station, the qualification of introducing the local gentry to An Guowei naturally belonged to him, and this was an opportunity to show his face.

He has been going around the three divisions for the past few days, and he came early today to communicate with various families, in fact, it is not just to delay the time to meet Ye Xiaotian and satisfy his personal vanity, but also to know the people he should know in advance for introduction, which is also a major reason.

"Dong Weng, the student introduces you, this is the Song Xuanwei envoy of the Song family in Shuidong......"

Hua Qingfeng seriously started to introduce Ye Mengxiong, and first introduced the four heavenly kings in the order of the four major families of An Song Tian Yang, and then the three directors. It can also be seen from this that in addition to this governor who has the power to overpower and has the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot, the status of the three divisions is below the four heavenly king-level toasts.

Ye Xiaotian watched Yang Yinglong walk up for the fourth, his smile was slightly stiff, and he couldn't help but think secretly: "If it were me, I would obviously be at least second in strength, but I still have to be subservient to others according to the order set hundreds of years ago, I'm afraid I won't feel too comfortable in my heart." ”

Everyone stepped forward one by one, those who were qualified to hold hands with Ye Mengxiong, said a few words, and those who were not qualified stepped aside, and when it was Ye Xiaotian's turn, Hua Qingfeng paused and said, "This is Ye Xiaotian, the chief official of the Lying Cow Chief." ”

There were a sea of people in front of Shili Pavilion, but at this moment it was silent, and everyone watched with their breath, they didn't believe that Ye Mengxiong came to Guiyang, and they didn't send someone to understand the situation here in advance, even if he didn't know everything about Ye Xiaotian, he should know most of it, but it depends on how he treats this person.

Ye Mengxiong just smiled and nodded at other officials who were not of the same status, whether that look fell on the other party's face or not, the other party was difficult to determine, but at this time, as soon as Hua Qingfeng said Ye Xiaotian, Ye Mengxiong's eyes were really fixed on Ye Xiaotian.

Ye Mengxiong slowly retracted his polite smile, looked at Ye Xiaotian's eyes carefully, nodded slightly, and said indifferently: "Ye Muchen? Well...... old man has heard of you! ”

"Ye Muchen? How did Ye Xiaotian become Ye Muchen, could it be that this is his cousin? How did Lord Futai know his words? Among the powerful people present, ninety percent of them had never heard of Ye Xiaotian's words, and they couldn't help but look at each other at this time.
