"Xiaguan Yuezhou Governor Deng Juan pays a visit to His Royal Highness the King of Wei!" As soon as Zhao Hao's boat docked, a middle-aged official who had been waiting on the shore for a long time stepped forward and saluted, only to see that this official was tall and full of righteousness, but Zhao Hao and Xing Shu looked at each other and smiled when they saw each other, because they both knew that this Deng Juan was a person, which was also the main reason why they were confident in controlling Yuezhou.

Speaking of Deng Xuan, this person is also famous, he used to be the champion of the Great Song Dynasty, there is naturally no problem in terms of talent, but he is also a capricious villain, when Wang Anshi changed the law, he was a firm changer, but when Wang Anshi resigned for the first time, he took refuge in Lu Huiqing, and helped the other party to suppress Wang Anshi's henchmen, and later Wang Anshi visited the prime minister again, but he went to Wang Anshi's house to take refuge, but was driven out by Wang Anshi, and finally in desperation, he actually took refuge in the conservativesto help Sima Guang fight against Lu Huiqing.

Although the character of this king Deng Huang is not good, but his last luck is good, he finally stood on the right team and became a member of the conservatives, after the Empress Dowager Gao listened to the government, Sima Guang almost monopolized the power, with Deng Juan's ability, he should have mixed a good position in the court, but unfortunately Sima Guang looked down on Deng Juan's capricious character, and as a result, a few years ago, Deng Huang was demoted to Yuezhou as the governor, and he did it for several years.

"Hehe, Deng Zhizhou doesn't need to be polite, we are all old acquaintances in the capital, but when we said goodbye to the capital, I didn't expect to be in such an overseas place when we met again!" Zhao Hao hadn't opened his mouth yet, but he saw that Xing Shu had already taken the lead, he had some friendship with Deng Xuan, when Deng Xuan left Beijing, he also went to see him off, and at this time he could just set up a friendship.

"Xing Zuosi is too polite. When Xia Guan heard that His Royal Highness and Xing Zuosi were coming, he was also excited and couldn't sleep at night, and now he has set up a table of wine banquet in the largest hanging sea building in the deep-water port to catch the wind for His Highness and Zuosi! At this time, I saw Deng Juan's square face full of flattering smiles.

"Haha, Deng Zhizhou has a heart, this king came to Yuezhou this time. I also hope that Deng Zhizhou will help a lot, if everything goes well, this king will definitely not forget Deng Zhizhou's merits in the future! At this time, Zhao Hao also smiled and said, and the meaning of the words was already very obvious.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness will definitely do your best to assist Your Highness!" Deng Juan also said with a look of surprise on his face when he heard this, as if he was very grateful to Zhao Hao for his kindness. Seeing this, Zhao Hao and Xing Shu looked at each other again and smiled, they had encountered walls everywhere in Guangzhou and Qiongzhou before, and the original plan did not enter the palace at all. Seeing Deng Xuan's expression now, this makes them finally see some hope.

In addition to Deng Xuan, there were some local officials in Yuezhou who came to greet them, and Deng Xuan also helped them make an introduction, but Zhao Hao and Xing Shu keenly found that compared to Deng Xuan's enthusiasm, although most of the other officials were smiling, they always made people feel alienated. Zhao Hao is not surprised by this, after all, Yuezhou is Zhao Yan's territory. The officials here are probably the same as Hu Yanping, and they are a little repulsed by his arrival.

Accompanied by Deng Juan and others, Zhao Hao and Xing Shu got off the boat and walked to the dock, and then came to a restaurant not far from the dock with each other, only to see that this restaurant was located on a prominent cliff, and under the cliff was the sea. Therefore, it is named Hanging Sea Building, here is a restaurant opened by a big merchant in Guangzhou, and the chefs who are invited are also from Guangzhou, and the seafood banquet is a must in the deep-water port.

Deng Juan had already booked a private room in the Hanging Sea Building, and waited until everyone was seated. Deng Juan smiled and raised his glass to Zhao Hao on the main seat and said: "Your Highness has come from afar, and the lower officials will first salute Your Highness on behalf of the people of Yuezhou!" ”

Zhao Hao also deliberately wanted to win over Deng Xuan, so naturally he would not refuse, so he also picked up the wine glass and touched it with Deng Xuan, and then drank it all, and then Deng Xuan saluted Xing Shu again, and then toasted by others, and after three rounds of wine, Zhao Hao said: "Deng Zhizhou, this king came this time because the situation in Yuezhou is unstable, but this king doesn't know much about Yuezhou, so how about asking Deng Zhizhou to explain on his behalf?" ”

"Originally, Xia Guan wanted to wait for His Highness to rest for one night and then report to you about the situation in Yuezhou, but since His Royal Highness asked about this matter regardless of fatigue, then Xia Guan will explain it to His Highness!" Hearing this, Deng Juan hurriedly stood up again and said, and by the way, he also praised Zhao Hao in his words, which also made Zhao Hao smile a little.

"Your Royal Highness, Yuezhou was originally the hometown of Jiaozhi, and later His Royal Highness the King of Yue destroyed Jiaozhi and incorporated Jiaozhi into the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, and later changed to Yuezhou, compared with the domestic state capital, the territory of Yuezhou is several times wider, but most of the area is dominated by jungles, these jungles are dark and damp, in addition to the local natives, we Song people are almost dead after entering, so my Great Song Dynasty's control of Yuezhou is mainly concentrated in the towns around Yuezhou, these towns are connected by cement roads, if there is a rebellion in some places, There will be an army at full speed immediately, so I don't have to worry about the safety of the place, but ......"

Although Deng Xuan's character is not very good, he does have extraordinary talents, and he is also well aware of the situation in Yuezhou, first introduced the situation in Yuezhou, and then talked about the reasons for the instability of the situation in Yuezhou. It turned out that after Li Rizun's death, his wife and children were all captured by Nong Zong, but Li Rizun had too many sons, and the Thang Long Mansion was too chaotic at that time, so he didn't know how to do it, and even let some spies go to the cell where Li Rizun's son was held, and as a result, Li Rizun's eldest Li Qiande was let go, and later Hu Yanping sent people to chase him, and he almost caught the other party several times, and even Li Gande was shot by a Song general, and was seriously injured, and then the other party fled into the mountains in desperation. With his injuries, he almost killed himself, and the Song army did not dare to go deep into the jungle, so the pursuit behind could only be stopped.

Zhao Yan also received news about Li Gande's escape, but in his opinion, Jiaozhi has been destroyed, even if there are some undead Jiaozhi sins, it is not a problem at all, so he didn't care much, in fact, it is true, when he was sitting in the south, Yuezhou has been very calm, and Li Gande has no news, as if he has died in the jungle.

But not long after Zhao Yan returned to the capital, the Jiaozhi Zuo led by Li Qiande jumped out, these people did not dare to act openly at first, but secretly contacted some tribes dissatisfied with the Great Song Dynasty, speaking of which, although there are many towns in Yuezhou, but the most are still the tribes of the local natives, and even some towns are in the hands of these tribes, and it is also very troublesome to completely clean up the influence of these tribes, so as long as they do not oppose the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, the local government will not be embarrassed by them.

In fact, in good conscience, since Jiaozhi was ruled by the Great Song Dynasty, because of the development of transportation and commerce, the overall living standards of Yuezhou have been greatly improved, which also makes many tribes feel at ease to accept the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, but there are also some tribes who see that the Song people who come and go are a hundred times richer than them, and their status is higher than them, so they are dissatisfied, and as a result, these people have become the object of Li Gande's wooing, and soon formed a large force.

Li Gande has those tribes as a team, and his actions are even more rampant, the southwest region of Yuezhou has almost become their world, and the decree of the Great Song Dynasty cannot be conveyed there, and even a few Song people were killed there some time ago, although the government sent people to investigate, but because of the deliberate concealment of those tribes, the government could not find the murderer at all. In addition, Li Qiande's people are also desperately infiltrating Thang Long Mansion, although Thang Long Mansion has become a dilapidated small city, but it is of great significance to the Jiaozhi people, if Li Qiande regains control of Thang Long Mansion, he is likely to raise troops there to rebel.

"What a guts! I didn't expect these Jiaozhi sins to be so arrogant, and this king will definitely arrest them all and escort them to the capital to subjugate! Zhao Hao heard this, but he took the case and said, he didn't care about the lives of those Song people, he just thought that Li Gande's actions were already provoking the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the face of so many local officials, he also had to make a show to buy people's hearts.

"Your Highness is wise, and the lower officials also feel that Li Qiande and these people must be sentenced to death in order to show the majesty of my Great Song Dynasty!" Deng Juan also echoed at this time, but then he said with a flattering smile, "But Li Qiande's climate has been established, I don't know how His Highness plans to deal with these people?" ”

"Isn't this simple, what Li Qiande relies on is just the remnants of the homeland of Jiaozhi, and those tribes who have taken refuge in him are also lucky, thinking that our Great Song Dynasty will not do anything to them, but now that this king is here, those tribes naturally know that if they follow Li Qiande to mess around, there is only one way to die, plus this king has brought thousands of people and horses, if there are still people who dare to be stubborn, they will choose a few leaders to be destroyed, in order to kill chickens and monkeys, and wait until Li Qiande loses support, and then send someone to arrest him, Yuezhou naturally settled down! Zhao Hao said very complacently, in his opinion, he came to Yuezhou with the respect of a prince, and those small tribes in Yuezhou would naturally feel extremely afraid, and a small Li Gande could not be compared with him at all.

However, Deng Juan and the surrounding officials were all embarrassed when they heard Zhao Hao's words, because they all knew that Zhao Hao's thinking was too simple, if Yuezhou could be pacified so easily, they would not have written to the court several times.

Thinking of this, Deng Juan just wanted to say something more, but at this time, he only heard a stiff voice from outside the door of the private room: "If you follow this method of Your Highness, I'm afraid that within a month, the entire Yuezhou will be in chaos!" (To be continued......)
