Chapter 913: Dig Your Own Pit

Xie Yubin smiled: "It's time, it's time!" Xie immediately sent someone to notify the prefectures, counties and villages, and the local government provided carriages and horses to escort the elders from all over the country to Yanzhou to face the Son of Heaven! In five days, the farthest part of the state should have arrived as long as they had quickened their pace. ”

Yang Fan smiled, and the two replied a few more words, Yang Fan showed a tired look, and said goodbye to Taishou, Xie Yubin immediately called a family member and asked him to lead "Yang Er" to the Benzhou Pavilion for proper placement.

As soon as Yang Fan left, Xie Yubin summoned two foreign stewards and instructed them one by one: "You go, immediately disperse all the merchants in the Xicheng Market, order them to leave the city immediately, and not return to Yanzhou for half a month!" The shops in this city also have to say hello, and all the things that are in the way of the eyes have to disappear for me, just like the last time Cheng Yushi patrolled! ”

The steward hurriedly retreated, and Xie Yubin said to the second steward: "You send someone immediately, and invite Lu Beijia, Ye Changshi, Lin Sima and Liu Cao to join the army, Sicang Sihu Sitian and other meritorious Cao to come to the mansion to see me, and say that there is something important to discuss!" ”

After speaking, Xie Taishou said to Li Yan, the steward who had just reported to the inner house: "You prepare a gift, this Yang Er, who came from Fengchen Prison, has already stayed in the pavilion, you go to prepare a generous gift, and then send a woman to serve him, so as to save him from wandering around the city for five days, which will harm me." ”

Steward Li hesitated: "Ah Lang, I heard that the men in this Fengchen prison are all the male concubines of the female emperor, but it is a gift to make it, will it be ...... to give women?"

Xie Taishou smiled and said, "In this way, he stole our things, and this mouth is sticky!" ”

Steward Li suddenly realized, cocked his thumb and said, "Ah Lang is wise, the villain will do it!" ”

After a while, Steward Li chose a beautiful woman from the inner house, and this beauty was also surnamed Li, who was with him five hundred years ago. Her name is Pinglan, and she hurriedly dressed up, changed into a gorgeous dress and left with him. At this time, the second mother of the house had prepared a gift, and Steward Li took it, ordered someone to set up a big car, opened the corner door and drove out, and went straight to the pavilion.

The eldest lady of Taishi Mansion is naturally Xie Yubin's wife, and now that Xie Yubin is developed, he has long looked down on the yellow-faced mother-in-law. Again. That mother-in-law is not beautiful, her background is average, and it is difficult to reach the elegant hall with the quality of conversation and treatment of people. Dealing with the official gentleman and his relatives really didn't give Xie Taishou a boost.

However, divorce is a taboo in officialdom, although Xie Taishou is far away from the emperor. I don't want to commit this taboo, so I just raise the yellow-faced mother-in-law. Rich clothes and food. She lacked everything, but never went up to the courtyard where she lived. Now it is Erniang who is in charge of the house, this is Mrs. Xie Taishou when he was the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in Luoyang, and now he is the master of the back house.

As for the Pinglan girl that Steward Li brought out of the back house, she was not Xie Taishou's concubine. Yang Fan is playing a small pawn in Fengchen Prison, such an official as big as a sesame mung bean. If it weren't for such a brilliant sign in the palace, Xie Taishou would not have looked at him squarely.

Rao is like this, the dignified side is too guarded, and there is no reason to use his own concubine to serve him. Too shou on the house. Raising a group of dancing girls, Xie Taishou sometimes comes in the mood, and will choose the favorite service pillow from among them, but such women have no name, and Xie Taishou will not see them as his own women, sometimes drunk with other drivers, Changshi and others, and stay in the guest room of Taishou Mansion at night, Xie Taishou will choose someone from this class of dancing girls to serve. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this has always been the custom of many wealthy families.

Steward Li led Miss Pinglan to leave from Jiaomen'er for only two quarters of an hour, and Lu Beijia, Ye Changshi, Lin Sima and Lu Shi joined the army, Sicang Sihu Sitian and other Gong Cao came to Taishou Mansion one after another.

Lu Zhenrong, the second person in Yanzhou Prefecture, is second only to Xie Jianshi in official position, and is mainly responsible for the judicial affairs of litigation and prison in this state. The history of the governor of this state is Ye Luoyu, who has the background of the Li family in Longxi and is now ordered by the Yin Sect, and he is mainly responsible for the civil affairs of the state.

There is also Sima Lin Bing, who is in charge of the military affairs and military endowment of the state, and is in charge of the daily affairs of the regiment training on behalf of the assassin Shi, ranking below the other drivers and long history. There are six Cao joining the army Li Qinshan, who is the guard of all Gong Cao, and then there are the three Gong Cao officials called by Xie Taishou who were specially named and summoned.

As soon as everyone heard this, Xie Taishou told them the reason for the incident, and advised: "Qin sent here to comfort the elderly, but after all, they are from the capital, and they should not be careless, if they are told to see something, it will inevitably be a bane, and you should be cautious." ”

Everyone hurriedly said yes, and Xie Taishou said to Si Cang and Si Tian Gongcao: "Zhang Changzong is here to comfort the elderly on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and it is not his responsibility to do the rest, just in case, you have to deal with it there, and you must distinguish between public and private!" ”

The two of them understood, knowing that this was Taishou reminding them to find another place to store the grain that had been corrupted by ink, and they must not be placed in the official warehouse.

Xie Taishou said to Ye Changshi: "Ye Changshi is here, quickly carry out two official documents, and order all prefectures, counties and villages to send the elders to Yanzhou." Qiao Sihu, you Sasuke Ye Changshi, there is that prickly head who can't control his mouth, report that one can't do it because of illness, don't let them come, they must be beaten and beaten, tell them to say what they should say, and don't talk nonsense when they shouldn't say! ”

Qiao Sihu nodded hurriedly, and Xie Taishou said again: "Changshi issued another official document to ask all prefectures and counties to suspend the payment of taxes and grain to the state capital, and said that the state would receive the envoys, and there was no time to accept it." I'll talk about it when I've sent him away. ”

Ye Changshi frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, and after listening to Xie Taishou's words, he nodded hurriedly and said yes. As a member of the Yin Sect, he was clear about what happened in Taiyuan Mansion, Danzhou Mansion and Dunzhou Mansion one after another, so when he heard that a Qin mission had come to Yanzhou, Ye Changshi was a little vigilant.

However, Taiyuan, Danzhou, and Juzhou have standing warehouses, but Yanzhou does not, so it stands to reason that it is impossible for Xianzong to notice this place. Moreover, the empress held a "Thousand Suo Banquet" a few years ago, and when she was too old, she suddenly rose up to comfort the elderly in the world and advocate the concept of respecting the elderly, which did not seem to be abrupt.

Thinking of this, Ye Changshi's heart gradually quieted down again. In fact, there is another reason why he has not clearly recognized the doubts in his heart so quickly, that is: even if his suspicions are true, it will not help. The big hole in Yanzhou is either not pierced, or if it is pierced, no one will be able to fill it.

Ye Changshi came to Yanzhou Mansion six years ago, he sat on the cold bench in Beijing for a few years, and the Li family in Longxi secretly operated, and got him an official position with real power in the field, but as soon as he arrived in Yanzhou, there was a cold reception from Taishou and Don't drive, and there were Sima, Gong Cao and other subordinate officials, and Ye Changshi became an official hanging in mid-air, and he was ineffective up and down.

After more than half a year of doing nothing, he gradually realized that there was a reason why everyone in the entire Yanzhou officialdom was in a group to exclude him. Ye Changshi wants to be recognized by everyone and really grasp power, so he can only work hard to integrate into it. At the beginning, Xie Yubin, Lu Zhenrong and others didn't dare to let him master all the inside stories at once, but just tried to test some small things, and when he fell in step by step, advanced and retreated with everyone, and was no longer inseparable, he didn't need to reveal anything to him, he also knew, but he had already become a part of it at this time.

The joint force from top to bottom has always given him a sense of security, but now he suddenly feels uneasy. The power that was originally sought-after is now suddenly a little hot. But he's sunk too deep, is there room to retreat? Ye Changshi could only pray secretly, hoping that the emperor's face was really just here to comfort the elderly......

Yanzhou Station is a courtyard with a seven-in-five bay structure, civil engineering structure, very few bricks and stones, looking at the high wall from a distance, a rustic atmosphere, in it, but there is also a pool and water, there is a garden and shade, especially the interior is Xuanlang, and the living is comfortable.

In the Tang Dynasty, the post was a place to receive past officials, and it was also the place where the post man passed on letters and official documents, and it also served as the responsibility of the command organization for the transmission of military supplies in wartime.

In these years, the traffic is extremely underdeveloped, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, and the roads are far away, which is daunting. Yanzhou, which is located on the Loess Plateau, has less contact with the outside world, and the most people in the city are the merchants who run the Western Regions, and Yanzhou Pavilion Station is naturally not for these people to come, because it is very quiet in the pavilion.

The bearer, the pocketman, the copyist, the delivery man, the release man, the post house servant and others are sitting on the porch with nothing to do, and the post man is not there, I don't know what to do, the family of the Taishou Mansion led Yang Fan to the pavilion post, and when he asked the post man was not there, he didn't bother to wait for someone to look for him back, so he called a steward and said: "This is a messenger from Beijing, and the Taishou has personally ordered it, so he is hospitalized." ”

The steward heard that it was a person from Beijing, and there was a personal order from the Taishou of Benzhou, so he changed his courteous appearance when he arrived, and immediately arranged a small courtyard with a separate courtyard for Yang Fan, three rooms in a row, the middle of the left bedroom and the right study is the hall house, there are quaint wooden tables and chairs in the courtyard, two big trees, a tree of osmanthus, full of fragrance, a tree of pomegranates, fruitful.

After arranging for Yang Fan to move in, the Taishou family left, and the steward asked diligently: "I don't know what to eat tonight?" ”

Yang Fan said: "Let's arrange it at will, pick a few special dishes from the sample state, and then sift the pot of wine to relieve the fatigue." Oh, by the way, please prepare some hot water, I'm going to shower. ”

"Okay, okay, you can rest first, and then go and do it right away."

The steward went out in a hurry, and in a moment he could hear his chirping in the distance. The hot water came quickly, filled a bath bucket, Yang Fan closed the door, widened his clothes, and took a hot bath, already looking refreshed. After getting out of the bathtub and changing into clean clothes, Yang Fan wanted someone to pour out the bath soup.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Li Yan, the steward of the Taishou Mansion, leading a handsome woman with a white face and big eyes into the courtyard......
