Chapter 251: The Post House
Yao Xiong replied with a smile: "If the envoy refers to the fact that His Majesty allowed the subordinate officials to tell the old man to resign, then he is naturally satisfied!" Of course, for the recent affairs of the court, the lower officials are also satisfied......"
Before the words were finished, I saw the officials of Qingyang scattering in an uproar, obviously this Yao County Order made the same old mistake again, which pot is really not opened and which pot is not mentioned, who doesn't know that Feng Yanji, the left minister who is trapped in the order, and the Wei envoy in front of him can be the same party?
Wei Cen replied coldly: "Since you have resigned from your official position as you wish, you will be white in the future, and you don't need to worry about the major affairs of the court!" If it weren't for the fact that you are the elder of the two dynasties, based on your words today, believe it or not, and then promote you to be the commander of Qingyang County? ”
"Don't, don't ......" Yao Xiong immediately shut up.
Zhang Wenbiao suddenly stepped forward and said: "Envoy Wei, since the decree has been completed, let's settle down first, let's talk about it, after rushing for so many days, we can't stop to eat!" ”
"What are you here for? Thinking about resting and eating first? Wei Cen glanced at him, nodded and replied: "In this way, I will ask Yao County Commander to vacate the county office, and the prime minister will live in the county office, and it will be convenient to go in and out." ”
Yao Xiong opened his mouth, thought about it or closed his mouth, he is now living in the county government's house, the imperial court is not a new county order to come to the handover, he obviously can't leave, and if Wei Cen and his party have to live in the county government today, then dozens of people in the family may have to move out in advance.
The problem is that Yao Xiong has been in officialdom for most of his life, and he has not purchased any other residence except for the county government here, and the whole family has nowhere to settle down for a while. The elderly Yao Xiong suddenly blamed himself, he had squandered so much money for decades, but in the end he forgot to buy a private property for his family, and he felt guilty.
Zhang Wenbiao seemed to see a trace of embarrassment from Yao Xiong's pale face, and then said suddenly: "I don't live in the county government, I'm used to marching, just live in the post house." ”
Wei Cen said coldly: "Please, Zhang Yuhou, the prime minister only tells you that the prime minister will set off and enter the mountain at dusk, don't forget the hour, if you are late, the prime minister can't wait for you." Don't say you didn't know when the time comes. ”
"Envoy Wei rest assured, the stakes are high, and I will not be late no matter what." Zhang Wenbiao arched his hand, then leaned closer and whispered: "But there is one thing, Wei Envoy, what is the matter with your holy decree?" Let's go the same way, why didn't I know from beginning to end? Could it be that this decree of yours is true? ”
Wei Cen seemed to have a premonition of what Zhang Wenbiao was about to say, and immediately waved his hand and snorted coldly: "This holy decree was written by Feng Xiang a few days ago, and His Majesty imprinted it on it, there is no doubt. Zhang Yuhou, this is a central matter, what does it have to do with you? Could it be that everything in this picture has to be explained to you one by one? ”
Zhang Wenbiao shook his head and sighed: "Wei Envoy, this is not a cooperative attitude!" Well, it's true that this matter has nothing to do with me. Again, since you and I have the heart to cooperate, it's better not to hide anything from each other. ”
Wei Cen frowned and thought about it: "Okay, it's up to you, and I won't hide it from you in the future." Meet in the county hall at dusk, don't forget Zhang Yuhou! ”
Zhang Wenbiao didn't expect him to agree so happily, but he was a little surprised.
The conversation between the two standing on the steps made Yao Xiong have some numbers in his heart, it seems that Zhang Wenbiao and Wei Cen are not the same way, it seems that the two can go the same way, perhaps because of temporary common interests, some ulterior agreements have been reached, in response to this vulgar situation, Yao Xiong, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, has long been surprised......
Thinking of this, Yao Xiong suddenly felt frightened, as soon as Feng Yanji, the left prime minister, was detained by Dali Temple, Wei Cen and others came to Jiuhua Mountain impatiently to visit, this time they brought a forbidden army general, and his command is still guarding the imperial city's palace, plus this Zhang Hou is a general, what are these people plotting......
"Yao County Order, can you order someone to point out where the post house is?" Zhang Wenbiao asked Yao Xiong, who was in a daze.
"Oh, Yao will lead the way for Zhang Yuhou." Yao Xiong said busily.
Wei Cen frowned and said, "Yao County Order, you don't have to lead the way." Until the new prefectural order arrives, you'd better not wander around. Since Zhang Yuhou doesn't live in the county office, there are still some places, so how about your family continue to live in it? ”
Yao Xiong was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Obey." ”
Zhang Wenbiao was secretly amused, Wei Cen seemed to be afraid that he and Yao Xiong would be alone and ask questions, but in fact, Zhang Wenbiao didn't mean this at all. Yao Xiong, the old man, Zhang Wenbiao doesn't understand at all, for him, what kind of flowers can a small county order ask? Wei Cen was obviously a little oversensitive.
At this time, Zhang Wenbiao's goal was very clear, and his mind was only on the mysterious and ethereal Jiuhua Mountain, which was the first major matter related to his fate.
"Just call someone else to show me the way!" Zhang Wenbiao said nonchalantly, and then turned his gaze to the black-robed old man who was very conspicuous in the crowd: "Uncle, why don't you accompany me to the pavilion." ”
Looking at Zhang Wenbiao's gaze, Wei Cen found the black-robed old man standing alone on the side, the obviously familiar face made him a little frightened, and hurriedly stopped him: "No, I still have important matters to discuss with the county officials at the moment, don't affect the official affairs......
Zhang Wenbiao looked at Wei Cen with a suspicious face, and then he didn't think much about it, and then turned to smile and said: "It seems that Ben Yuhou can only ask for directions by himself, Wei Envoy, you seem to be guarding against me Zhang Wenbiao as a thief, I am the Marquis of Yu, and there will be any problems with sending a small official to follow me?" ”
Wei Cen didn't want to argue with Zhang Wenbiao, but just frowned and kept looking at the black-robed old man.
I saw that Zhang Wenbiao didn't seem to notice Wei Cen's eyes, and waved his hand and smiled boldly: "That's it, I'll go." Along the way, the dry food was blistered in my mouth, and I wanted to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and eat a good meal. I wanted to invite Wei Envoy Xiang to have a meal together, but it seems that Envoy Xiang must be a businessman and don't want to waste time. ”
Wei Cen arched his hand and turned his head to walk towards the county government hall, Zhang Wenbiao had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and step down the steps. An inconspicuous official spoke beside him and said: "Zhang Yuhou, it's better to let the villain take you, the villain is just a servant, and it will not be the villain's turn to be on duty today." ”
Zhang Wenbiao smiled: "Okay, so hard for you." ”
The little official led the way, Zhang Wenbiao got on the horse alone and followed, Qingyang County is not big, there are only two main streets, and the rest are alleys. The county government went west and crossed two intersections to the west where the post house is located, although it is simple, but it is also neat. There are only two courtyards in the post house, which are empty at the moment, and the courtyard on the west side has already been inhabited by a group of people, so Zhang Wenbiao naturally chose a courtyard on the east side.
This little official is quite diligent, in the end, Zhang Wenbiao is a general of the forbidden army, where does he get the blessing of being a servant in a small place to serve such a nobleman, and he naturally has some secret thoughts in his heart, so he took Zhang Wenbiao to settle down after some busyness, but he did not leave, and stood at the door of the room for more than an hour with a heart of clinging.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wenbiao has been staying in the room, not taking a step, let alone using wine and food, which makes the little official with numb legs and feet can't help but feel weird. Finally, after plucking up the courage to call the door a few times, seeing that there was still no response, I had to leave in a huff......
Dusk approached, "squeak", Zhang Wenbiao, who had changed into ordinary clothes, finally walked out slowly, only to see him looking left and right for a moment, as if to confirm that no one was around, went straight through the corridor, but walked to the door opening where the east and west courtyards meet, got in, groped to the door of a wing room in the west courtyard, straightened his waist, and gently asked: "Li Shangshu can ......"
