Chapter 205: Yin and Yang: Miscellaneous Matters along the River (4)

Gu Qingfeng did not inform anyone in Chengdu of his secret return, and did not take out the whole set of Luan Yi until Luan drove to the city gate, which made the patrol battalion on duty startled, and hurriedly sent someone to report to Zhuo Gong.

Who would have thought that such a habitual move of his would set off a bloody storm in Chengdu, the Montessori couple are not hegemonic people, but the queen actually had to notify Zhuo Gong first when she returned to Beijing, not to mention whether she respected the queen, and the one who stayed in Chengdu for a year was Meng Jingke, the king of Shu, and there was no Zhuo Bailing among the four auxiliary ministers.

Gu Qingfeng pressed his temperament and entered the city, and the auxiliary ministers led by Gu Yanfeng hurriedly came to greet him with hundreds of civil and military officials, and when he saw Meng Jingke, who was staggering and walking, he felt a little sorry for this child.

"Gu Zhongtang, Yingshuai, Chenghou, Yan Lingjun, thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty is still on the river, and you have ordered the palace to temporarily regent!" After that, he immediately took out the golden silk nanmu order from his arms, which was a symbol of Emperor Daxuan.

Gu Yanfeng saw Gu Qingfeng's actions, and suddenly felt that his head was big, with his sister's personality, even if he was a temporary regent, he would not be so public, it seemed that His Majesty was dissatisfied with some people in Chengdu City, and the Daxuan Dynasty might be about to earthquake.

Gu Yanfeng has been abiding by his duties for many years, and he has never dared to exceed the rules, even if His Majesty trusts him, he does not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi, he thinks that this is the duty of a courtier, although Meng Yan is different from the emperors of previous dynasties, but there is one thing that cannot be forgotten, no matter how different he is, he is also a king.

Gu Yanfeng and Yanlan are the most sensitive, and the subordinates will always care more about things, especially when Su Qing rushed back from Jiujiang to replace Deng Ang as an auxiliary minister, the two of them smelled the sense of danger, and the factions in the court became more and more obvious during the year of the emperor's inspection, and it is estimated that the emperor deliberately made these factions surface.

"Obey the will of the mother!" Yan Lan was the first to react and quickly responded.

Gu Qingfeng glanced at the crowd that there was really no Zhuo Bailing, and snorted coldly: "Let's do our jobs, Cheng Hou will enter the city with the palace, handsome, you will be sent to the King of Shu to study in Qingyang Academy." โ€

Simple arrangement, but with a different taste, everyone has a ghost in their hearts, but everyone guessed that the atmosphere of the queen's return this time was not right.

The atmosphere in Chengdu is roughly similar to that in Dongchuan, as soon as Yu Geng entered Fuling City, a group of old brothers who started from the old Chen came to the door one after another in the hope of banqueting the only commander of the Great Xuan Dynasty who was still leading the army outside.

The banquet is nothing more than two reasons, one is that there has been friendship for many years, and it is impossible to say that you don't get together in Fuling; The second is that the children in the family are used to being arrogant, and they must be unwilling to be civil officials, so let's see if they can hold a half-official position under the account of Hu Shuai.

Although Yu Geng participated in all the banquets with a smile, but his eyes became more and more sharp, hatred and regret coexisted, Yu Geng was very disappointed, they are all the brothers of the old Beidou, His Majesty has given them preferential treatment, and the most unpromising is now the captain stationed in a county, which can be described as a generous kindness, but what about them? Extravagance and lasciviousness are already praised, robbing people's daughters, forcing good people to become prostitutes, the military regulations that can be violated are basically not pulled down, colluding with businessmen to control the market, and the people of Fuling are angry and dare not speak, in the hearts of the people, they are all responsible for the merits of the dragon, no matter what they do, Your Majesty will open the net.

"Hu Shuai, everyone's situation has been figured out, they have more contact with Zhuo Gong and Ye Shuai in the court, what should they do with them?" An Cang said expressionlessly.

Yu Geng sighed and said, "Your Majesty has just arrived in Ba County, you should block Fuling City first, and wait for Your Majesty's will," and then hesitated for a moment and said: "They are all 'Beidou' old brothers, you can't humiliate them too much, even if they are allowed to die, there should be a decent way to die!" โ€

An Cang blinked slowly, and then said coldly: "Hu Shuai, the last general is only assisting you in controlling Fuling, their life and death are no longer within the duties of the last general, whether they can live until the day when His Majesty's will comes, depends on their own creation." โ€

"Ann! Don't think that the old man won't dare to kill you! Yu Geng hated An Cang's indifferent words very much.

"Of course Hu Shuai can kill me, but you have to give them decency, have they ever given dignity to the people of Fuling and even the entire Dongchuan?" An Cang said calmly.

"You!ยทยทยทยท" Yu Geng stopped suddenly, what An Cang said made sense, and more importantly, this may be what His Majesty meant, His Majesty has been fighting for the freedom of the people since he was a former minister of Chenguo, and now these people who are fish and meat are probably dry bones in the grave in His Majesty's heart.

"If the tiger marshal has no other orders, the last general will go down to seal the city!" An Cang deliberately said heavily, An Cang's distress may only be understood by Yanlan, he has been in charge of the internal guard and the forbidden army all the year round, and he is the henchman of His Majesty's henchmen, he can't and can't have any attitude, His Majesty's attitude is his attitude, he understands Yu Geng's emotions in the face of these old people, but he can't have feelings.

The matter of locking down the city must be fast, once these spirits react and send a letter to Chengdu, His Majesty and Niangniang's plan will fall short, and the sudden disappearance of Xue Chen, as the third person in the internal guard, can very well show His Majesty's firm determination.

An Cang looked at the sun that was about to set in the west and muttered, "Xue Chen! Xue Chen! Don't be foolish! โ€

Xue Chen, who was walking in disguise all the way, sneezed several times in a row, looked up at the coldness of the moonlight, wrapped his robe and said, "Brothers, hurry up!" Before sunrise, we must take over the Nanchong camp! โ€

Xue Chen accepted Meng Yan's secret order all the way west to receive the military power of the scattered states and counties along the river, and now he is away from the Nanchong camp, which is also the last key camp, many of the Nanchong camp are Zhuo Bailing and Ye Bohuai's old subordinates, and some of the old subordinates of the King of Xiang who transferred from Xingtan, the Nanchong camp has always been the most headache for the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and the tripartite forces are very stubborn, but the Nanchong camp is the reserve battalion, and the combat experience is the best military horse in command independence.

Xue Zhen accelerated forward, weighing the military talisman token in his arms, thinking about what Yanlan said to him before leaving, "Boy, don't have any other thoughts, don't tell me, you only remember one thing, you are one of Your Majesty's internal guards, and there is only one thing in your heart and eyes, and that is Your Majesty." โ€

Thinking of this, I can't help but shudder, Xue Chen is sociable, but he is not lacking in heart, Yan Lan's words sound simple, but in fact the connotation is profound, and then he touched the military talisman token in his arms and firmly believed that His Majesty had already moved the idea of killing, since the founding of the country, His Majesty has never had a large-scale killing, and even avoided the number of executions after the autumn of the punishment as much as possible.

Just when everyone was nervous, Meng Yan was enjoying the clear spring of the mountain stream in Ba County, he sat quietly in the gurgling stream in a single dress, there were all kinds of melons and fruits on the stones on one side, and the tea on the other side was still slightly steaming.

However, the people standing beside him are a little confusing, the prince said that he was back in Chengdu, but he has not appeared, who would have thought that he had been waiting in Ba County, and the people who barbecued not far away were even more surprising, it stands to reason that he should be in western Sichuan with the army to suppress bandits, but now this intelligent His Royal Highness King Yongwang is roasting sheep.

The father and son didn't speak, and after a while, a breeze blew, and Meng Yan opened his eyes, slowly opened his mouth, and said, "Second brother, you can't do this craft!" I haven't smelled the fragrance yet, you've been in Sichuan for so long! โ€

"Father, the sheep in this county are not as good as those on the grassland, you can make do with it, and one day you and your eldest brother will go to the grassland to try my craft again." Meng Jingyi said with a little dissatisfaction, he felt that this Bajun sheep was a waste of his craftsmanship, and he had asked Di Xin for advice for a long time when roasting whole sheep.

"Second child, okay you, my father's mouth is so tricky, I have been in the army for many years and my skills are much better than yours, but I was also ridiculed by my father a few days ago, father!" Meng Jingyan glanced at Meng Yan slightly, and then said: "The mouth of the father and the emperor only thinks that what the queen mother makes is delicious!" โ€

The brothers glanced at each other, and then laughed, and suddenly felt that the pressure around them was huge, and they immediately felt out of breath, and the two brothers did not hesitate to kneel down and beg Meng Yan for mercy, Jiuchengong is not something anyone can bear, begging for mercy is the right way.

"Stinky boy! Dare to make fun of you Lao Tzu, your skin is itchy, right? In the past few years, I've been playing wild outside, I think it is! Meng Yan scolded with a smile.

The intimate time of the father and son is a gobble, and the three of them caress their belly in the same posture after they are full of wine and food, which is genetic.

"Second brother, what do you think of those people in Sichuanxi?" Prince Meng Jingyan asked with a full hiccup.

"They are all quite good, they are honest and duty-bound, but there is one thing to say, they can be said to avoid the government, especially Chaoqun and Di Xin." This is Meng Jingyi's evaluation of western Sichuan.

Meng Jingyan didn't ask casually, after all, the nominal marshal of the Snow Wolf Marshal Mansion was Ye Bohuai, and the object of his father's rectification this time was Ye Bohuai.

"Chaoqun is also from the Gu family, and his mother and two uncles also take care of him, but there is always a hurdle in his heart that he can't overcome, there is no way, this is different from his uncle." Meng Jingyan sighed.

"Uncle? His reputation stinks in Chengdu, and the bad reputation of the Neiwei Mansion is basically because of his old man. Meng Jingyi didn't look down on Gu Sheng at all, and this uncle didn't know how many people were far away.

Suddenly, Meng Jingyi received a chestnut from Meng Yan on his head, only to hear Meng Yan say lazily: "What do you know, Gu Sheng is the smartest one, a bad reputation is not necessarily a bad thing, you think about what hurtful things he has done, gambling money lost, smashing gambling houses, visiting the Qinglou and drinking too much, leading soldiers to surround the Qinglou, it seems to be all ridiculous, but think about it, did he really do something wrong?" โ€

The two brothers glanced at each other, nodded, and Meng Jingyi asked, "So Father, every time you protect him, it's not because he is the Gu family?" โ€

"Even if you are enlightened, Gu Sheng has been An Cang's deputy all the year round, and An Cang can't handle mundane things, Gu Sheng is more comfortable in dealing with this kind of thing, otherwise because you use Gu Sheng's character, An Cang will tolerate it because of me?"

"By the way, father, our father and son are all in Ba County, will it be a little unauthentic for Chengdu to be left to the queen mother?" Meng Jingyi changed the topic and asked.

Meng Yan first glanced at Meng Jingyi strangely, then kicked him, and scolded with a smile: "Do you think that your father is not kind or do you think that your mother is incapable?!" โ€

Meng Jingyan helped his younger brother up, and said: "The queen mother is more handy in handling government affairs, as long as we stabilize all the military on our side, the queen mother in Chengdu will deal with it quickly, don't you find that the most powerful person in Chengdu is the Gu family now?" โ€

Meng Yan nodded with satisfaction, the prince's thinking is still good, he transferred An Cang and the others out, the most powerful in the entire Chengdu is the Gu family, the quartz couple with the most soldiers, and Yan Lan is in the middle, even people like Ye Bohuai and Zhuo Bailing dare not win easily.

Suddenly Meng Yan's face changed suddenly, there was something wrong with the prince's words, he was sarcastic that he didn't know how to deal with the government, he was a hands-off shopkeeper, and as soon as he raised his feet, he found that the two brothers had fled outside the dense forest by supporting each other, accompanied by the laughter of the two brothers.

Meng Yan shook his head, it's really a big child...
