Chapter 105: Taizong's Decree

Back in Yuhang, Qin Xuan and He Xingjian's father and daughter went back to their respective homes. For more than half a month, He Ning never appeared, and Qin Xuan did not take He Ning to heart, and accompanied Qian Ruyu to play in the mountains and rivers every day, so he was not at ease. Qian Ruyu knew that Qin Xuan wanted to take back Manyun and take the opportunity to compensate herself, so she didn't say anything, but enjoyed every moment with Qin Xuan.

One day, the sun rises in the east, and the earth is sprinkled with bits and pieces of sunshine, and the smell of warmth and comfort is diffused everywhere. Yuhang County under the sun is slowly becoming lively, and the number of pedestrians on the street is gradually increasing.

Suddenly, a special team walked into the West City Gate. Two columns of majestic Qianniu guards, riding high-headed horses, the armor on their bodies is shiny, and the waist knives hanging from their waists are exquisite. Qian Niuwei surrounded a beautiful carriage, and after entering the city, he went straight to Yuhang County.

In the county office, in Qin Xuan's room. Qian Ruyu gently leaned on Qin Xuan's arms, and Qin Xuan's right hand gently stopped Qian Ruyu's small waist. "Yu'er, in a few days, I will prepare to let Qingrui go to Xiangyang and pick up Manyun."

Qian Ruyu was slightly stunned, then smiled softly, nodded, and opened her lips lightly: "En!" Brother Xuan, since you have already made such a decision, let's take Manyun over as soon as possible! ”

Qian Ruyu's words made Qin Xuan very happy, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I have to trouble my Yu'er beauty to write a letter to the county lord of Yushuang in this matter, otherwise, Qingrui will definitely return in vain!" ”

Qian Ruyu hugged Qin Xuan and said softly: "Brother Xuan, I'll write a letter in a while......"

At the same time, Li Qingrui hurriedly ran to the door of Qin Xuan's room and said hurriedly: "Childe, it seems that someone from Kyoto is here!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan couldn't help frowning, and said secretly in his heart: "The Hangzhou Salt Incident is over, and I also know that Li Shimin will definitely issue an order to arrange the officials of the Assassination Mansion." But it's too fast, it's only been more than half a month! "I didn't have time to think about it, let go of Qian Ruyu, held Qian Ruyu's face, and kissed it gently." Yu'er. I'll check it out first! ”

Qian Ruyu was caught off guard, and after being kissed by Qin Xuan, she looked a little shy and nodded slightly. "Brother Xuan, go ahead!"

Qin Xuan took Li Qingrui and Xing Honglin and hurriedly walked out of the county office to greet them. I saw a magnificent carriage parked at the gate of the county government, and on both sides were Qian Niuwei riding fat and strong war horses, all of them were energetic and mighty.

Qin Xuan was sure that the person who came was from Kyoto, and he was here to announce the decree. Standing respectfully in front of the carriage, I saw the curtain of the carriage door lifted. Walked down a chamberlain eunuch. Not too old. It's just forty or fifty years old. The body is slightly rich. The red light on his face looks extraordinarily energetic.

Before Qin Xuan could speak, he saw the eunuch facing Qin Xuan with a smile, his hands clenched into fists. He bowed his head slightly and said: "This must be the Qin County Order that rectified the salt tax in Hangzhou!" Miscellaneous Yang Heng is polite! ”

Qin Xuan knew that Yang Hengjun had come to Yuhang to announce the decree, and he didn't dare to slack off. hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand and said, "Gonggong Yang has broken the official." The next official Yuhang County ordered Qin Xuan to see Yang Gonggong! After speaking, he stretched out his hand and signaled: "Father-in-law Yang, please!" ”

Qin Xuan was quite attentive, which made Yang Hengjun very happy, and chuckled: "Hey, Qin County doesn't need to be so polite, let's go with the miscellaneous family!" As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Qin Xuan's arm. Walk towards the precincts.

Walking into the lobby, a group of thousands of guards lined up on both sides, raising their heads and chests, standing majestic. Yang Hengjun walked directly to the table in the lobby and turned around. coughed lightly, and said crisply: "Yuhang County ordered Qin Xuan to take the order!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan secretly said in his heart: "Sure enough, I was right, Li Shimin is really quick to do things!" Hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Minister Yuhang County ordered Qin Xuan to take the order!" ”

Yang Hengjun slowly opened the holy decree and said crisply: "The sage said: Hangzhou salt tax is the foundation of the country. Recently, I heard that an official of the Hangzhou Assassin Mansion deceived his superiors and subordinates, corrupted the law, and filled his pockets. Fortunately, Qin Xuan, the commander of Yuhang County, although his status is humble, he turned the tide, personally involved in danger, strategized, and investigated and dealt with all these rebellious ministers and thieves. Therefore, Qin Xuan is a man of great righteousness, full of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness...... Be an example for the officials of the world and learn from them. ”

Yang Hengjun read it impassionedly, and Qin Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground, was numb in his knees and uncomfortable. I couldn't help but slander in my heart: "Li Shimin, you said that you made a holy decree and directly said how good things are, do you need to be so verbose!" ”

For a long time, Yang Hengjun was still foaming at the mouth: "Those who have learned are teachers, although Qin Xuan is old, he has both ability and political integrity, but he can also be a teacher......"

Hearing this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but say in his heart: "Master? Is it difficult for Li Shimin to make me a master, whose master is it? When Qin Xuan was thinking wildly, Yang Hengjun read again: "Qin Xuan's merit, I haven't figured out how to reward it, so I announced that Qin Xuan entered Beijing and rewarded it again!" Hangzhou Assassin Mansion, so that Yang Linqiu was appointed as the long history, and Zhao Siyuan temporarily took the second position of Sima and Don't Drive. The rest of the officials of the Assassin's Mansion will be nominated by Qin Xuan to play, and I will arrange ...... as appropriate."

After the holy decree was finally recited, Qin Xuan immediately gave another salute and shouted, "Minister Qin Xuan received the decree and thanked him!" But in his heart, he secretly slandered himself: "Li Shimin is really relieved, he even asked me to nominate a state official!" ”

Yang Hengjun saw that Qin Xuan had received the holy decree, and immediately said with a pleasant face: "Congratulations to Master Qin, for this great achievement, presumably Your Majesty will definitely reward it vigorously, and you will need more care from Master Qin in the future!" ”

Qin Xuan couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "Master Qin? Why did Yang Gonggong say this? ”

Yang Hengjun frowned, stunned slightly, and then explained with a smile: "Didn't Master Qin hear the holy decree clearly? Your Majesty's will is very clear, as an example of officials in the world, let officials at all levels learn from you, what is wrong with the miscellaneous Qin master? ”

"I'll go, Li Shimin's trouble is really level, and Master Qin, why don't you make me a prince!" Qin Xuan secretly scolded a few words, and then said with a smile: "Yang Gonggong raises love, and the lower officials dare not be ashamed!" ”

After a few words of greeting, Yang Hengjun took out a folding book from his sleeve pocket and said with a smile: "Master Qin, there is also a secret decree of His Majesty!" ”

Qin Xuan didn't bother to kneel on the ground, and directly stretched out his hands to take the folding book. Seeing this, Yang Hengjun couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, he came back to his senses, but he didn't bother with Qin Xuan, turned his head and said to Qian Niuwei on the side: "Quickly bring in the things that Your Majesty has rewarded!" ”

Qin Xuan directly opened the folding book, only to see that it was written: "I already know about Hangzhou, and I am very pleased with what Qing has done." I heard that you have a few personal slaves, and this credit is not small, so I will reward them with a seventh-rank official rank, but they have no official position, so you will go back and tell me together. Okay, I won't say much, the matter in Hangzhou will be dealt with quickly, and I still have important matters to hand over to you! ”

After Qin Xuan finished reading, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Yu Guang saw two Qianniu guards walking in with a wooden box, and asked suspiciously, "Grandpa Yang, what does this mean?" ”

"This is a gift from His Majesty to Master Qin!"

Qin Xuan was a little curious, and saw Yang Hengjun's eyes staring at the wooden box tightly, thinking for a moment, and immediately said, "Please open it for this official!" ”

As soon as the wooden box was opened, Yang Hengjun leaned forward slightly, glanced at it, and drooped his face in disappointment. Qin Xuan took a step forward, and saw that there were three Qianniu guard armors and two official robes in the box, and he couldn't help frowning and thinking about it, remembering what Fang Cai had just said, and even understood what Li Shimin meant.

"Master Qin, the miscellaneous family still wants to go to Qiantang to announce the decree, so I will leave first!" As Yang Hengjun spoke, he rubbed his hands together, paused in front of his chest, and was about to turn around and leave.

Qin Xuan didn't know what to think, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly spoke: "Gonggong Yang is tired of traveling and driving, it is better to rest in the mansion for one night, and wait for the next official to go to Qiantang with Gonggong Yang tomorrow!" Speaking of this, Qin Xuan paused slightly, and then said: "Moreover, Xia Guan still has some confidant words, and he wants to talk to Yang Gonggong!" ”

Yang Hengjun saw Qin Xuan winking at him, he was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Since Qin Xuan is invited, then the miscellaneous family will bother!" ”

The sunset was sinking, and under the old tree in the west courtyard, there were some wine and food on the stone table, and Qin Xuan and Yang Heng were both sitting on the table. After three rounds of drinking, Li Qingrui came slowly with a wooden box. Qin Xuan said with a smile: "Father-in-law Yang, this is a little bit of the official's mind, and I hope that Father-in-law Yang will not refuse!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Li Qingrui.

Li Qingrui comprehended and respectfully placed the wooden box in front of Yang Hengjun. Yang Hengjun glanced down at the wooden box a few times, stretched out his hand and pushed it for a long time, pretending to be righteous and awe-inspiring. "Master Qin, what does this mean?"

Seeing Yang Hengjun's funny appearance, Qin Xuan knew that Yang Hengjun was pretending to be high, and he didn't break it, so he smiled slightly. In order to announce the decree to the lower officials, Yang Gonggong traveled thousands of miles to Yuhang. Xia Guan didn't mean anything else, just a little heart, and I hope that Yang Gonggong will accept it! ”

Yang Hengjun paused slightly, then chuckled a few times and stretched out his finger to point at Qin Xuan. "Since Master Qin is so insistent, if the miscellaneous family refuses again, it will be too embarrassing for Master Qin!" As he spoke, he placed the wooden box beside him.

Hearing this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but chuckle a few times, and said in his heart: "Such persistence? I just said two kind words, also called persistence? Take it if you want! I thought truthfully in my heart, but I couldn't say that, and said angrily: "That is, if Gonggong Yang doesn't accept it, the next official will be unhappy!" ”

Three days later, Qin Xuan also discussed with Yang Linqiu the list of officials of the Assassination Mansion. Yuhang County Ya, several carriages quietly parked at the door, Xing Honglin and Li Qingrui, who had changed into the armor of Qianniuwei, and Ye Le, who was dressed in a civilian official robe, stood beside the carriage with a smile on their faces, and the three of them talked and laughed, looking very happy.

After the people in the mansion put all Qin Xuan's things on the carriage, Li Qingrui and Xing Honglin jumped directly into the first carriage, raised the horsewhip, and slowly walked towards the west gate of Yuhang.

Not long after leaving Yuhang County, I saw several carriages parked in a long pavilion in the distance. He Xingjian took He Ning, who had changed into his daughter's clothes, and stood on the side of the road expectantly. Xing Honglin and Li Qingrui glanced at each other, and then gently tugged on the reins of the horse. When the carriage stopped, Li Qingrui jumped out of the carriage and greeted him. Xing Honglin, on the other hand, ran directly to the carriage that Qin Xuan was sitting in behind him......
