Taiyuan.

Control the mountains and rivers, standing on the shoulders of the world.

The four stoppers are rushed, and the capital of the five plains is controlled.

As an ancient capital with a history of more than 2,000 years, Taiyuan City has too many places to praise.

It was the defeat of Xun Wu's Northern Expedition of the Jin Kingdom and the blame of the Chidi Tribe, and it was too far into the territory of the Jin Kingdom.

It was the second year of King Xiang of Qin Zhuang, Qin General Meng Fu attacked Zhao State, took Yuci, Wolf Meng 37 cities, Taiyuan into Qin, the next year in Jinyang Taiyuan County, for the beginning of Taiyuan County.

It was the fourth year of the first peace of the emperor, and it was the sphere of influence of Gongsun Zhan.

It was Jian'an for three years, occupied by Yuan Shao.

It was the spring of the eleventh year of Jian'an, owned by Cao Cao.

It is a hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, starting from Gaozu Li Yuan as the ambassador of Shanxi Hedong, Taiyuan stayed, and led the Jinyang palace supervisor.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Taiyuan Prefecture governed six states, twenty-two counties, thirteen counties, and nine counties.

Taiyuan City has a vital position in the layout of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Taiyuan City is connected to the border pass Datong town in the north and the Central Plains Henan Road in the south. Control Taiyuan, out of the customs can go outside, into the Central Plains, around Shandong Hexi.

The royal palace and the three divisions and counties gathered.

Countless gentlemen and businessmen gathered.

At sunrise, the rising sun climbs over the top of the mountain from the east side of the Taihang Mountains, the morning sun spreads, and the morning light is gently sprinkled in Taiyuan City.

On the official road in the south of the city, the Yamen of the Shanxi Provincial Political Envoy had already blocked the entire southern city as soon as the city gate was opened.

From the official road outside the southern city all the way to the city gate, and then to the main street of the three divisions and yamen in the city, officers and soldiers were arranged everywhere to be on duty, and the people were strictly forbidden to approach and pass through.

According to the previous news, His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince will be outside Taiyuan City today.

From early in the morning, Yue Xinghui, the county magistrate of Quyang County, took people to arrange it outside the southern city.

The open space next to the official road has been cleared and leveled and paved with wooden platforms.

The two groups of Taiyuan gong and drum teams have changed into red clothes, put on the food guys, and just wait for the northern tour of the imperial grandson to arrive, and they will beat the gongs and drums to greet them.

Yue Xinghui looked at the empty official road in the south, and then looked around at the errand officers, officers and soldiers gathered around, with a little anxiety on his face.

God knows when the emperor's grandson will come outside Taiyuan City, but now none of the three divisions of the Yamen and the chief officials of Taiyuan Mansion have come.

The representatives of the gentlemen and businessmen in Taiyuan City, who were originally promised, were not present.

Yue Xinghui looked up at the sky, so he had to wave his sleeves and hide under the pergola on the side.

Da-da-da-da.

The sound of horses' hooves came from outside the pergola.

Yue Xing, who had just sat down and had not yet touched the teacup with his hand, immediately stood up, walked to the edge of the pergola, and looked up at the front of the official road.

I saw two officers of the county government rushing over on horseback with dew.

"Where is the county?"

"Where is the county honor?"

In the distance, two errand officers who had been running around all night outside were calling out to the people on the official road with shriveled throats.

Someone in front of him turned and pointed to the pergola.

Soon, the two messengers drove their horses to the pergola, and before the horses stopped, they had already turned over and jumped off their horses and arrived in front of Yue Xinghui.

"Returning to the county, His Royal Highness Taisun is traveling north in the team, and he will arrive in Taiyuan City after noon."

Yue Xinghui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and smoothed out some messy clothes.

"It's okay...... OK...... It's still too late. ”

Yue Xinghui said in his mouth, and turned to look at the subordinate officials of the county government: "Cheer up, don't do anything today, just wait here for His Royal Highness Taisun." Let the gong and drum team be ready, ask the county government to send wine and meat, feed them, and when His Royal Highness comes down, they will beat this master vigorously! ”

Yangqu County Cheng nodded: "These have been arranged, don't worry about the county." ”

Yue Xinghui had a cold face: "How can you not be in a hurry?" It's all at this time, and none of the people from the three divisions and the government have arrived. If the grandson comes, can our county government bear it? ”

The county official said a few words to the county book on the side, and then said with a smile: "Since the third division and the government have passed the word early in the morning, I think they have long known when the Taisun will arrive in Taiyuan City." The county is respectful and at ease, even if there is something, there is still a top on it. ”

Yue Xinghui snorted twice and stopped talking.

If something happens to Taiyuan City, it will not be a small matter, it is a big thing, and it can poke a hole in the sky.

"Where are the officials?"

Yue Xinghui finally asked a little uneasy.

The county man stepped forward and said in a low voice: "It's all fishing over there in Fenshui." ”

Yue Xing turned his head and looked at the county in a daze: "At this time, he was still fishing?" ”

……

"Who is that person next to Guo Shenzheng?"

On the shore of Fenshui on the southwest side of Taiyuan City, countless officials, errand soldiers, officers and soldiers stood on the shore, looking at the few people holding umbrellas and fishing on the trestle bridge.

Someone on the shore asked.

The people around him smiled and looked at the six people sitting under the umbrella on the trestle.

Shanxi Province left the government, according to the inspector, the commander of the envoy, the left to participate in politics, Taiyuan prefect.

In addition, the head of the Jin merchants of Shanxi Province and the head of the Li Mansion Courtyard, Li Wenxiang.

and a middle-aged man wearing brocade standing behind Guo Yuchuang, the political envoy of Shanxi Daobu.

"Oh, that's it." The man chuckled and said, "It's a businessman over there in Xingxian County, and a child in the family went to the year to get lifted, so he began to wear brocade brightly." ”

"A businessman, how did you come here? The middle man began to wear brocade, but he didn't know how to hide it. ”

The person who opened his mouth to explain continued to explain with a smile: "It's not that there are children in the family, and I see that I am about to enter Beijing to take the public examination, and I heard that I want to go to the household department, but it can be regarded as a fit for family learning." ”

"Is this here to ask for a relationship? Then you should also find a political envoy. ”

The man nodded: "Where will the political envoy take care of such a trivial matter, it has never been handed over to Guo Shenzheng to deal with." I heard that this person not only asks for a relationship, but also hopes to enter the Chinese system and share the supply of grain and grass at a border gate. ”

"The heart is very big."

The first person to speak couldn't help but ridicule.

The people around him sneered: "I've heard that this person took out half of his family assets to get the qualification to stand behind a few Shangguan today." I also heard that half of the money I would make in the future would be offered. Otherwise, do you think that the officials can let this vulgar person stand here? ”

"This person is not in a hurry, he has to bump into the day when Taisun came to Taiyuan City today."

"Let's wait, won't the imperial grandson wait until after noon?"

The people on the shore looked at the Zhengyin Hall officials who were in charge of the entire Shanxi Road on the trestle and whispered in a low voice.

On the trestle bridge, the chief officer of the Yamen of the Third Division of Shanxi Road is holding a fishing rod in his hand, and he is at ease.

Several people have not spoken until now, and the businessman who came from Xingxian County who was standing there has been holding his hands and bending over with his head bowed silently, even being cautious when he gets out of breath.

It's not a good time to fish.

The fish in early winter are far less good than those that come after the beginning of spring.

After half a ring, when the temperature gradually rises.

Li Wenxiang, who was sitting on the very edge, said: "It seems that there is nothing to catch today." I have already explained to the house, and a banquet will be sent later, and after a few people have eaten, you can go to the south of the city. ”

Li Wenxiang looked at the fish float in front of him that had been floating on the water for a long time, with a smile on his face.

How can a straight hook catch a fish?

At this time, just wait for which of the three chief officials can catch a big fish in Fenshui, and today's fishing will be over.

Sun Gong, the political chief of Shanxi Daozuo, said softly: "But there is no need to worry, that one will not arrive until after noon, we will go early, it will only make the people of Yangqu County nervous." ”

Changsun Gong has been an official in Shanxi Province for nearly 20 years, and in the case that the political envoy Si Yamen has no right government, the affairs of Shanxi Province are almost handled by him.

The eldest grandson Gong, who is nearly fifty years old, holds a lot of power in his hands, and his face is also very good, so he can't tell his true age.

Zhou Yunkun, who had a somewhat dark complexion on the side, said with a smile: "Uncle Fang is compassionate under the rule, this is a blessing from Shanxi Province. ”

Zhou Yunkun, the envoy of Shanxi Province, has also been an official in Shanxi Province for 15 years, and he is also on an errand with one hand.

Changsun Gong responded: "You can't do anything if you stay there, it's still in the way, it's better to broaden your horizons by this Fenshui River." ”

"The three guards and horses of the Jin Palace's Mansion have left Taiyuan City a few days ago and have been transferred to Ningwu."

At this time, Liu Liang, who had never spoken and was wearing a military attache robe, spoke in a low voice.

Changsun Gong and Zhou Yunkun turned their heads at the same time.

Both of them frowned slightly.

Liu Liang continued: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin is concerned about the military affairs of the border pass, and I think he is preparing for the beginning of spring next year, waiting for the imperial court to order the northern expedition to prepare." ”

Zhou Yunkun nodded, and looked sideways at Changsun Gong: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has always been keen to personally lead the troops out of the northern expedition. It's just that now that the New Year is approaching, in addition to the guards and horses, shouldn't other places also take a break? ”

At this time, Li Wenxiang on the side had also looked over, and his eyes were flowing silently.

Changsun Gong groaned and said: "This year's harvest is good, and the charcoal money at the end of the year is enough, so send it out early." Let the people in the mine outside also discuss in advance, and go home for the New Year when they should go home for the New Year, and they will work all year long, and they always want to have a hot meal together as a family. ”

Song Shenggui, the prefect of Taiyuan Mansion, who was sitting with Li Wenxiang, immediately smiled and said: "So the officials all said that the political envoy was sympathetic to his subordinates. Before going to Nancheng, the lower officials will write everywhere, so that the people below can be happy for a few more days. ”

After speaking, Song Shenggui quietly turned his head and glanced at Li Wenxiang beside him.

I saw Li Wenxiang with a smile on his face and nodded.

Let the people in the coal mines everywhere be ready to go home for the New Year, and when the time comes, the officials and guards in the mines will be less, and they will be better able to do things.

Crash.

When a matter on the trestle was quietly arranged, there was a splash on the water surface of Fenshui in front of him.

Everyone looked over.

Guo Yuchuang, the political envoy of Shanxi Province, who had never spoken, was already holding the fishing rod tightly in his hand with both hands, and his body also fell backwards to offset the big fish that was holding down the bait underwater.

"Quick!"

Guo Yuchuang's words were concise and to the point, but his eyes were wide, and the corners of his mouth were full of joy.

I'm going to win the top spot today.

At this time, there were only these few people on the trestle, and there was no one else.

However, the fishing rod in Guo Yuchuang's hand was getting more and more bent, and was dragged into the water by the big fish underwater.

Just as people were waiting for their fishing rods to break.

Poof.

Without allowing a few people to react, I saw a figure that had jumped into the Fenshui in this early winter.

Bang la blah.

The river was constantly cut open by the hands of the man who jumped into the water.

When the man got to the position, he took a deep breath and stabbed a manhole under the water.

Immediately, the water fell silent.

The fishing rod in Guo Yuchuang's hand was also loosened, and several people around him stretched out their heads to look over.

"It's someone from Naxing County?"

Zhou Yunkun looked at Guo Yuchuang, who was still holding a fishing rod in his hand.

Song Shenggui, the prefect of Taiyuan, glanced back, then nodded and said, "It's that person, but I didn't expect this person to be so decisive." ”

Changsun Gong just said in a surging voice: "It's a dare to fight." ”

Guo Yuchuang had a smile on his face, and he still looked light.

"It can't be drowning."

Li Wenxiang looked at the calm water and joked on the side.

At this time, I saw a splash suddenly explode on the surface of the water, and the Xingxian businessman wearing brocade was already holding a big fish with small arms tightly with both hands, and he drilled out of the water with joy on his face.

Li Wenxiang couldn't help but exclaim: "I actually asked him to catch him!" ”

And the man had already buckled into the gills of the fish, and swam under the trestle with one hand in the water.

At this time, someone on the shore had already rushed over, stretched out his hand and pulled it up from the water, with a deep admiration in his eyes.

This person didn't dare to stop, and knelt behind Guo Yuchuang with the fish in both hands.

"Participating in politics, the fish are coming up."

Guo Yuchuang turned his head to look at the people on the left and right, and then looked down at the Xingxian businessman who was kneeling in front of him and holding the big fish in his hands.

Xingxian Shangjia lowered his head, but his heart under his chest was beating violently. The future of his son and the future of his family are now raised by himself in these hands, and whether he succeeds or fails depends on today.

Guo Yuchuang looked at the businessman in front of him, his eyes calm.

He has seen too much of such a person who seeks glory and wealth.

He also knows exactly what these people want.

"After the beginning of spring, Yulinwei's grain and grass will be for you to raise and transport."

His surging words made the Xingxian businessman full of joy, carefully put down the fish with both hands, and bowed on the trestle.

"Thank you for participating in politics."

Guo Yuchuang waved his hand: "This fish is too big, you can take it back and eat it." ”

"The villain must have even fried the fish bones and ate them in his stomach."

Guo Yuchuang nodded, and then looked at the people left and right.

Changsun Gong was the first to get up, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the shore.

The rest of the people also got up and followed.

When the trestle was empty, the Xingxian businessman who was kneeling on the ground dared to raise his head slowly.

Seeing no more people on the trestle, the Xingxian businessman turned his head cautiously.

At this time, there is also no one to be seen on the shore.

He was the only one left, lying on the trestle in front of him, and from time to time he was powerlessly slapping the big fish on the trestle with his tail.
