Chapter 1 Appointed to Thang Long

In summer, green is the dominant color.

This is especially true in Borneo, where the climate is different from that of the Central Plains, where there are no four seasons, only two seasons, which are divided into a dry season and a rainy season. The common people generally sow in the rainy season and harvest in the dry season. There are also some islands that are hot and rainy all year round, with dense rainforests that can be sown at any time and harvested in all seasons.

In a sense, this place is much better than some bitter cold places.

When it comes to the rule of Borneo, it can actually be traced back to the last time the Daomen were in charge, that is, before Confucianism. If it is said that the Great Qi mainly opened up the territory of the Western Regions, then the Great Wei mainly restored the territory of Borneo, such as the famous Sanxuan Liuwei.

As we all know, the concept of the so-called state of Great Wei and Daxuan should actually be the Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, under which are the prefectures and counties. In addition to the prefecture and county, there is also the Tusi, which is equivalent to the Fu, that is, the Xuanfu Division and the Xuanfu Division.

During the reign of Taizong of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Great Wei invaded Borneo and set up a state here, with 56 prefectures and 210 counties under its jurisdiction. It has to be said that Emperor Taizong of the Great Wei Dynasty was eloquent and strategic, and this move was not simply to show his force, but to echo his fleet of sailors, making it a base for trade with ships from Western countries.

It is a pity that the local officials at that time were incompetent and mediocre, wantonly amassed wealth, and were brutal and unkind, which provoked a large-scale revolt in Borneo and infighting with each other, resulting in a completely out of control situation. Coupled with the incompetence of their descendants, the father and son of Renzong and Xuanzong of the Great Wei finally gave up their rule over Borneo in the name of benevolence, and allowed many Tusi forces to establish independent states and become vassal states of the Great Wei, and the Great Wei no longer directly ruled Borneo. This move greatly damaged the prestige of the central court, dealt a heavy blow to the prestige of the Great Wei court in the Nanyang region, and shook the suzerainty status of the Wei court. Not only did the Great Wei lose the South Seas, but also seriously blocked the channels of communication between the Central Plains and the West.

In the Daxuan period, with the support of Daomen, the Daxuan court returned to Borneo, but at this time, Borneo had been independent for a long time, the people's hearts had been lost, and the hostility was quite great. However, the countries of Borneo were also afraid of the force of Daxuan, and they all expressed their submission, and the main energy of the Daxuan court was in the north, so they did not start a war to directly recover Borneo, but set up the Nanting Protectorate here, mainly stationed in several important seaports, to control and contain the strait, to ensure that the throat of the South Seas was in their own hands.

There were three major prefectures in the Imperial Court, namely the South Courtyard Metropolitan Protectorate, the North Courtyard Metropolitan Protectorate, and the Xizhou Imperial Protectorate.

Needless to say, the Xizhou Metropolitan Protectorate mainly refers to the part of the northern territory seized by the Golden Horde, after the Great Xuan Imperial Court recovered it, because these places are vast and sparsely populated, it is not easy to set up prefectures and counties, so they directly rule with the army, which is the Northern Courtyard Metropolitan Protectorate.

According to the original idea of the Great Xuan Imperial Court, there were four courts to protect the palace, which belonged to the four sides, and the four sides of the arch guard, in addition to the south court and the north court, there were also the east court to rule Fenglinzhou, and the west court to rule the Western Regions. It's just that after the establishment of the state in Xizhou, the Xiting Metropolitan Protectorate was renamed the Xizhou Metropolitan Protectorate. Due to various reasons, in order to avoid intensifying the contradictions, the Daomen decided to unify but not govern, and the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion was the pawn of the horse, and the Japanese were governed by the Japanese people, or the Japanese were called to control the Japanese people, so the Dongting Metropolitan Protectorate was finally abolished.

Unlike the Western Prefecture, the Nanting Prefecture generally does not intervene directly in Borneo's internal affairs unless there is a large-scale rebellion or invasion by foreign enemies.

At the level of the imperial court, Daxuan did not directly rule Borneo, but at the level of the Daomen, the Daomen directly included Borneo under their control and established the Borneo Provincial Government.

The Borneo Provincial Government has also always adhered to the concept of Taoism, and will not interfere too much in specific political affairs, leaving a certain amount of space for the local small court.

Today, the most powerful of the Borneo kingdoms is called Dayu, which at first glance sounds equivalent to Daxuan, and it seems that it is also a great unified dynasty. In fact, the so-called Dayu Dynasty wanted to submit a table to Emperor Daxuan, the lord of the Heavenly Empire, and asked for canonization, and then Emperor Daxuan canonized him as a king, lower than the emperor, equivalent to a prince, and was one of the many vassal states of Daxuan.

The province of Borneo was established in Thang Long, the capital of the kingdom of Dayu.

A flying boat skimmed over Borneo and headed for Thang Long.

Qi Xuansu looked at the turquoise color below through the window of the flying boat, everything was growing wildly, and there was a scene of vitality everywhere.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but recall the scene of his first time on the flying boat, many people were crowded together, and there were about one ???????????????? just the passengers 100 people. This time, he still took the flying boat, but it was his exclusive flying boat.

At this time, Thang Long City was already in sight.

At this time, opposite Qi Xuansu, sat Yao Shu, the chief deputy hall master of Ziwei Hall.

Of course, it is impossible for Donghua Zhenren to personally send Qi Xuansu to the post - it will be too exciting, and it will cause unnecessary reactions from all parties, and maybe the next day there will be rumors that Qi Xuansu is actually the illegitimate son of Donghua Zhenren.

However, in order to show his attention, Donghua Zhenren still sent the second person in Ziweitang, who was also Yao Shu from the Yao family.

In terms of the generation of the Yao family, Yao Shu is Yao Pei's uncle, just the same age as Qi Xuansu, and the two can still be commensurate with each other, Qi Xuansu shouted big brother.

In terms of the generations of the Daomen, Yao Shu is a disciple of seven generations, and he can be regarded as Qi Xuansu's predecessor.

The key is that the two are still colleagues, but Qi Xuansu doesn't have much time in Ziwei Hall, so he doesn't have much intersection with this chief deputy hall master.

The two got along quite well along the way, Yao Shu joked: "Recently, there have been a series of personnel changes in Daomen, I am not idle at all, I just sent Zhang Zhenren to Jiangnan Daofu some time ago, and then I want to send you, Qi Zhenren, to Borneo Daofu, I am afraid that after I go back, there will be a new errand waiting." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "If it is a normal time, with the identity of Chief Yao, I am afraid that I don't have to go out for a few months." It's like farming and farming, and now is the farming season. ”

"That's just as well." Yao Shu agreed with Qi Xuansu's statement.

Soon, the flying boat began to descend slowly.

Below a side of the blue lake, named Guijian Lake, legend has it that the founding lord of the Dayu country got a sword body by coincidence before the incident, engraved with the word "Shuntian", and later picked up a sword hilt, put together to become a divine sword. He used this sword to defeat many of the Great Wei armies, and later became king, and while cruising on this lake, he suddenly saw a golden turtle surface, swam to the side of the boat, and said to him: "The enemy army has been defeated, please return my sword." As soon as he finished speaking, the sword on the waist of King Dayu suddenly shook and fell into the mouth of the golden turtle, and the golden turtle dived to the bottom of the lake with the sword in his mouth. The king of Dayu and his ministers were very surprised, thinking that it was a fairy who appeared, and called the golden turtle the god golden turtle, in order to express their respect for the golden turtle, the name of the lake was changed to Guijian Lake. Later, legend has it that the sword was returned by the immortals and inserted into the lake, leaving the hilt on the surface of the water, forming a small pagoda in the center of the lake.

Today's Guijian Lake has become a port where flying boats take off and land.

The people of Borneo Province got the news early and were already at the lake.

The person at the head was Chen Shuhua, the chief deputy governor of Borneo Province, and several other deputy governors.

After lowering the gangway, Yao Shu appeared first, followed by Qi Xuansu.

Chen Shuhua first greeted Yao Shu, and then greeted Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu secretly looked at this future colleague, a female Taoist priest, about thirty or forty years old, her appearance was naturally good, but she was not as dignified as Cihang Zhenren, and her temperament was slightly feminine.

Zhang Yuelu is Danfeng eyes, thin but not small, black and white, black eyes are hidden and not exposed, the tail of the eyes is smooth and slightly upturned, and the amplitude is just right, showing a bit of sharpness and majesty.

If it is too narrow and long, it becomes a fox eye, as the name suggests, just like the fox's eyes, less sharp and majestic, more ruthless and soft.

This chief deputy mansion master was born with a pair of fox eyes, which made Qi Xuansu remember it deeply.

The structure of the Dao Gate is like a triangle, the highest corner is naturally the head of the house, and the bottom two corners are the chief and second seats. Now Qi Xuansu is secondary, not the chief's subordinate, but more like the chief's containment or opponent.

If Qi Xuansu went to work alone, or was accompanied by other deputy hall masters, then it was unlikely that Chen Shuhua would be greeted at this time, and it was likely that it was just other deputy hall masters. But because of the arrival of Yao Shu, the chief deputy hall master, the entire specification was suddenly improved a lot. It can be seen from this that although Donghua Zhenren did not come in person, his heart has arrived.

As for Lan Hexu, the real person of the Zhangfu, and Wang Jiaohe, the real person of the Zhangfu, they were greeted at the Sheji Palace of the Provincial Government of Borneo.

Sheji Miyaben is the Confucian Temple of Dayu Kingdom, which is not only a sacrifice to Confucian saints, but also the highest institution of learning. It's just that after Daomen seized the world, there was no need for Daomen to order, and the court of Dayu took the initiative to rebuild the Confucian Temple into a Daogong Palace, so as to curry favor with Daomen, hoping that Daomen would not directly recover Borneo.

Of course, the Daomen and the Daxuan Imperial Court would not give up the direct recovery of Borneo because of a Taoist palace, but only considering the problems of insufficient foundation, difficult governance, excessive financial burden, and easy to cause contradictions, Borneo maintained its status as a vassal state, and this Sheji Palace, which was rebuilt from the Confucian Temple, was laughed at by the Daomen and became the location of the Borneo Provincial Government.

The convoy came to the gate of Sheji Palace, and the two people standing in front were the real people of Zhangfu and the real people of Zhangfu.

In addition to Yao Shu's reason, it is now rumored that Qi Xuansu came down with a "task", mainly for some factions existing within the Borneo Provincial Government and sorted them out.

Don't underestimate the word "combing", this is just a more euphemistic statement within the Daomen, if it is really understood as purging, there is no problem, I don't know how many heads will fall to the ground.

In a sense, Qi Xuansu is the minister sent from above, representing not only him personally, but also Jinque, and the Borneo Provincial Government naturally has to treat it solemnly.
