Many people are wondering why Xiao Jin asked Mingchen directly about the officialdom, in fact, the reason is very simple, in the "future" he saw, Mingchen Zhenren is a very important role, he once served under Xiao Lie, assisted Xiao Lie to complete the unification of Jiangbei, and even represented Daozong and Mr. Hengqu Zhang Zai in Xiao Lie's court, realizing the pattern of Jiangbei Daomen and Jiangnan Confucianism. After Xiao Lie died in the northeast Yuanjue Temple, the herdsman rose into the eastern capital, Mr. Hengqu retired, and Mingchen continued his own road to Qingyun, after sixty years, who in the court did not know the prime minister of the feather coat?

I have to say that the current world is too different from the world that Xiao Jin saw, Xiao Yu and Lin Yinping should have defeated Xu Lin's hands and died in the fire of the grassland royal court; Qiu Ye should have completely lost his position and become a puppet in charge of the sect after the real person ascended; Qin Mumian should have been imprisoned to death in Houjian, and finally died in humiliation at the hands of Houjian's magnates; Xiao Lie should have swept the world and changed the dynasty; and now he was just the left governor of the central capital, Zha Mang, should have sat on the golden dragon chair. There are too many things that should have been, but because Xiao Jin came here, these should have become undesirable, so Xiao Yu and Lin Yinping did not die, and became the king and princess of the northwest who were expected to reach the top of the world; Qiu Ye lost his position in advance and lost his position as the first disciple when the real person in charge of the sect did not soar; Qin Mumian escaped from the predicament and became a guest of the Taoist sect; Xiao Lie was mired in the quagmire of the Eastern Capital, and the house had not yet been swept away. Zha Mang hadn't even deceived the shepherd's daughter, Mu Chu'er. And it is not surprising that Mingchen Zhenren, who should have stepped on the road of Qingyun, was sent to the northwest to serve at this moment with the body of a sin.

Xiao Jin was able to meet Mingchen, which was a real surprise for him. Before worshipping under the Taoist sect, Mingchen practiced in the public gate for more than 20 years as a casual cultivator, and was a sword and pen official, a staff master, a magistrate, a county official, a county order, a general judge, a prefect, and also a Beijing official. It is also these experiences that made him stand out on behalf of Taoism in the history known to Xiao Jin, and in the Great Zhou court established by Xiao Lie, he successively served as the Guozi Supervisor Wine, the Ministry of Rites, and the Imperial History of Zuodu, and finally became the head of the six Heavenly Officials Department Shangshu, and after the shepherd usurped power, he went further, ascended to the cabinet and worshiped the prime minister, and was known as the prime minister of the feather coat for 60 years.

With such a character by his side, isn't it easy to deal with a Xiliangzhou?

But after thinking about it again, Ming Chen's coming to the northwest may not be the arrangement of the real person in charge, after all, a person like him can exert the greatest effect in the worldly officialdom, and in the Taoist sect, it will only be a pearl and dust.

Xiao Jin was a little unsure of what the Taoist sect meant for a while, and he didn't know whether Xiao Yu sent Mingchen to his side, whether he was intentional to help him or unintentional. In this kind of thinking, Xiao Jin and his entourage entered Xiliangzhou and began the iron-blooded trip of the "little prince".

There is a welcome pavilion not far from the boundary monument of Xiliangzhou, from the early morning there are officials coming one after another, at noon it is already full of pavilion black yarn, dozens of people of all sizes and sizes, from the nine-grade petty official wearing a green official robe to the political envoy from the second grade cloth wearing a scarlet official robe, are all looking forward to it. Without him, just because he has to wait for someone.

After Li Chen and Chen Han were transferred away one after another, the political envoy and the commander of Xiliangzhou were served by Song Hu and Lin Dai respectively, of which the former was a native of the northwest of the great Confucian scholars, born in one of the few Song families who did not move out of the northwest, Xiao Yu was grateful for the Song family's knowledge of current affairs, and after the new policy, Song Hu, the head of the Song family, was appointed as the political envoy of Xiliangzhou. The latter is a general of the Qingzhuang faction personally promoted by Min Xing, as for the envoy in the three divisions, he is a grassland man, called Huang Liangmi, who has no ability, but he is an old man who follows the prince, and his uncle is Huang Hanji, one of the three major Taiji of the grassland.

At this time, these three Xiliangzhou officials were standing at the forefront of all the officials, constantly looking in the direction of the post road. After a few years of good life, Huang Liangmi became more and more wide-hearted and fat, and his fat belly almost broke the official robe of the envoy, at this time he was pressing his jade belt with both hands, and said to the two colleagues beside him: " I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two adults, my Lao Huang was a horseman who raised horses for the prince, and the days were not good at that time, fighting every day, fighting with the red lady today, fighting with Xu Lin tomorrow, fighting back and forth, fighting non-stop, and the horse died quickly, so when the prince came to Zhumadian in person, Lao Huang I was so frightened that I couldn't stand steadily, and knelt directly in front of the prince, no way, there was really no horse. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Liangmi's words changed, "But the prince is not here for the matter of horses, his old man is going to entertain guests in Zhumadian." ”

Lin Dai, who was originally a little impatient, became interested and asked, "Who does the prince want to invite?"

Huang Liangmi smiled and said: "At that time, the inspector of the central capital. ”

Lin Dai was not a person with a deep city, so he wrote doubts on his face at this time, and he couldn't understand why the prince at that time invited a secret guard.

For Song Hu, who is well versed in the rules of officialdom such as three festivals and two birthdays, Xiao Yu, the boss of the boss, has already memorized his preferences, birthdays, princesses' birthdays, and even some early experiences, so he indifferently opened his mouth to explain Lin Dai's confusion at this time: "It's the little prince." ”

The little prince is Xiao Jin, because Xiao Yu has no heirs, and Xiao Jin does not have a title, so I don't know who started first, and the title of Xiao Jin was quickly unified into an ambiguous little prince.

Lin Dai is not a reckless man who fights and kills with a mind, and after Song Hu is so little, he immediately suddenly understands.

Song Hu smiled and said indifferently: "The little prince was named the governor this time, and he also added the title of governor of the right capital, I think the two adults should know in their hearts, if necessary, the little prince can mobilize the defenders of Xiliangzhou, those defenders are under the command of the metropolitan governor's mansion, but they don't listen to the orders of the commander, Lord Lin is from the border army, and he should know better than me." ”

Lin Dai said with a wry smile: "Since the border army and the local army separated, because they were stationed in Xiliangzhou, it was inevitable that there would be some bumps and bumps, and I didn't hide it from the two adults. ”

Huang Liangmi said suddenly: "Look at the time, why haven't you come yet, hasn't the little prince come from the official road?"

The faces of the three changed in unison.

After the three of them glanced at each other, Huang Liangmi opened his mouth, there was no sound, but his mouth was the four words of micro-service private interview.

Song Hu's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "I'm waiting for an hour, if we don't come yet, we'll go back first." ”

An hour passed in a flash, Song Hu and other officials returned to Dunhuang City with ugly faces, and then the three of them gathered in the residence of the political envoy to drink, and a governor of the Qin mission from the middle of the capital was not taken into their eyes, after all, none of the three of them were helpless and helpless ghosts, Lin Dai had Min Xing behind him, Huang Liangmi had Huang Hanji behind him, and there was a Song family behind Song Hu! But this time the difficulty was difficult, as a "Qin Cha" Xiao Jin stood behind Xiao Yu, in the final analysis, it was the identity of the little prince that made them have to lower their figure and deal with it carefully.

There were only three people at the table, no maids, and no dancing girls. Lin Dai's face was cold, and he drank wine cup after glass, Song Lake's face sank like water, and he stopped at his mouth with a glass of wine, and he didn't move for a long time. Huang Liangmi's face also lost his smile, and he pondered for a long time, and said, "It seems that the little prince is going to use our Xiliangzhou as a stepping stone." ”

Lin Dai snorted angrily, and slammed the wine glass in his hand to the table, "He's not afraid of stumbling!"

Song Hu drank all the wine in the cup, put down the wine glass, and said gloomily: "Those who come are not good, those who are good do not come, the little prince is unwilling to come openly, this matter will be difficult to be good, two adults, we have to prepare early." ”

At this moment, an old Taoist with a fairy wind and a little Taoist boy swaggered into the territory of Xiliangzhou along the official road.
