Chapter Eighty-Three: Yizhou

Xiao Jingxuan was not in a hurry this time, but walked and listened to Yang Yi all the way, and it took a month for the two of them to reach Dazhou City.

Looking at the current prosperity of Dazhou City, Xiao Jingxuan was very satisfied, two years ago, Dazhou City only had more than 30,000 garrisons. There is not even a city, only one level.

But now it has become a fortified city. Look at the busy traffic on the streets, bustling assortment. I can't help but be satisfied.

Holding Yang Yi's hand, he walked leisurely. Don't be too cozy on a small day.

At this time, I saw a group of soldiers coming from a distance and walked straight in front of Xiao Jingxuan to stop.

Seeing this posture, Xiao Jingxuan knew that his identity was exposed, and he saw the leader of the general kneeling on the ground, his hands clenched into fists.

"The last general, Gongsun Sheng, see the marshal."

As Gongsun Sheng saluted, the soldiers behind also saluted and shouted: "See the big marshal." ”

Xiao Jingxuan pointed to Yang Yi on the side and said, "This is my wife." ”

Then all the generals saluted in unison and said, "See the princess." ”

Hearing everyone salute, Yang Yi's face turned red in an instant, and he said in a panic: "Get up quickly, don't kneel." ”

When he turned his head and saw Xiao Jingxuan's evil smile, he immediately pinched Xiao Jingxuan's waist and twisted it fiercely.

Xiao Jingxuan immediately pretended to be in pain and said, "It hurts, wife, let go, you get up quickly." ”

Yang Yi was completely speechless about Xiao Jingxuan's rogue behavior. Quickly put down his hand, twisted his head, and didn't look at Xiao Jingxuan.

Xiao Jingxuan hurriedly hugged Yang Yi and said, "Okay, just kidding, don't be angry." ”

He turned his head and said to Gongsun Sheng: "Prepare a carriage for me, I want to return to Yizhou." ”

"Yes, the end will be arranged immediately."

"Well, arrange the affairs in hand, go back with me, and then quickly notify the Yizhou side, and say that I am back."

"Yes, the last general commands."

After a while, Gongsun Sheng arranged for a carriage to come over, and Xiao Jingxuan took Yang Yi and got into the carriage.

Under the escort of Gongsun Sheng, the two finally returned to Yizhou.

After returning to the palace and settling Yang Yi, Xiao Jingxuan immediately summoned Zhao Gang, the leader of the secret guard, to inquire about the situation in Yandi during his absence.

After Zhao Gang arrived at the study, he made a detailed report to Xiao Jingxuan about the situation during this time, and after listening, Xiao Jingxuan finally understood the situation in Yandi during this time.

When Xiao Jingxuan first disappeared, a large number of masters broke into the palace at night to inquire about the situation.

However, the first few waves were solved by Xiao Jingxuan's master Cui Xiwen, but Cui Xiwen did not stay in Yizhou for too long.

A month later, the news of Xiao Jingxuan's disappearance spread, but fortunately, Xiao Jingxuan left secret orders for several generals before leaving, otherwise there would really be a big mess.

After that, Zhao and Great Wei launched several attacks on Pingzhou, but they were all repelled by the Pingzhou guards.

Later, Wei sent Qin to Yingzhou to woo the commanders of the battalions and the governors of the state capitals. However, those who have been shaken have been solved by the dark guards.

As Xiao Jingxuan disappeared for longer and longer, the barbarians also launched several attacks on Baicheng and Shenzhou. But it's all in vain.

As for government affairs, Ding Weiran monopolized power, and had several conflicts with Ling Huizhi and Wei Ming, but in the end, Wei Ming took the initiative to back down.

Nowadays, Ding Weiran's status in Yandi is somewhat transcendent, and he is somewhat closely related to the Pingzhou guards. Ding Weiran also married his daughter to Liu Xiu, the commander of Pingzhou.

Hearing the news, Xiao Jingxuan frowned slightly, and at this time, Zhao Gang continued.

"Some time ago, Ding Weiran intended to carry out the imperial examination, but due to your absence, Wei Ming and Ling Huizhi's fierce opposition, it was over."

Xiao Jingxuan nodded and said, "Someone." ”

That's when a guard walked in.

"The end will be."

"Sending a bowl of pickles to Ding Weiran's mansion said that it was given by the lonely king. Then come back to your life. ”

"Yes, the last general commands."

After the guards retreated, Xiao Jingxuan continued to ask, "During this time, how is Yulin Academy?" ”

"Back to the prince, the scale of Yulin Academy has expanded again, because in the past two years, there have been a lot of homeless people in the territory, and these people have been sent to the gate of the academy in order to prevent their children from starving to death. Today, there are almost 8,000 students in Yulin Academy. ”

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jingxuan asked about the situation in the Central Plains, probably because he had just gained a foothold, and there had not been much war in the Central Plains in the past two years. Relatively speaking, the situation is relatively stable.

Hearing the news, Xiao Jingxuan was surprised. I thought that there would be a scuffle in the Central Plains, and I would be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. I didn't expect them to be so peaceful.

After understanding the situation, Xiao Jingxuan ordered that the battalion commanders should immediately hand over military affairs to their deputies and return to Yizhou to report on their work. At the same time, he sent an envoy to ask Emperor Yan for a seal and named himself the King of Yan.

After that, Xiao Jingxuan waved Zhao Gang away and began to check the reports of the Yushitai to various places during his absence.

Although Xiao Jingxuan only gave the right to inspect the imperial history, these news and the news of the secret guard can form a powerful complement.

In this way, no matter who you are, you can't easily deceive yourself.

After reading the official report of the imperial history, at this time, it was a little late. So, Xiao Jingxuan got up and returned to the harem.

It is said to be the imperial palace, but in fact, this palace is larger than the previous Liangguo Mansion.

When he came to the harem, Yang Yi was watching the sunset on a deck chair in the garden at this time.

After seeing Xiao Jingxuan coming, he didn't get up, but just pointed to the recliner on the side and motioned for Xiao Jingxuan to sit down.

Seeing Yang Yi's idleness, Xiao Jingxuan planned to find something to do for him to save him boredom.

"Xin'er, how about I find you something to do?"

"Tell me?"

"Well, I have twenty disciples in the palace, when I have time, give me some training."

"Not interested."

"Then why don't I pick some clever people from Wenchen's family to come into the palace to talk to you?"

"It's too tiring to talk to them."

"There are some opera troupes juggling in the city, why don't you call them into the palace?"

"I don't understand."

After seeing that Yang Yi was not interested in any of these, Xiao Jingxuan also had a headache, so he asked tentatively: "Why don't we have a group of children to play?" ”

Yang Yiteng suddenly stood up from the recliner. looked at Xiao Jingxuan with a red face.

"Hooligans."

"What's the hooligan, aren't you planning to feed the demon with your body, isn't this just right?"

"You're busy, I'll be shopping around the city these days."

"Okay, remember to bring money when you go out. I'll just take care of the things in hand in the next few days. ”

After speaking, Xiao Jingxuan and Yang Yi continued to lie on the recliner and leisurely watch the night.

……

Early the next morning, Xiao Jingxuan came to Yang Yi's courtyard, and the maids had already prepared breakfast.

After the two had breakfast warmly, Xiao Jingxuan came to the study to continue to deal with official business.

As soon as he sat down, there was a report from the waiter, and the left and right Changshi asked to see him.

Hearing the report of the waiter, Xiao Jingxuan was slightly displeased.

"Did the two of you come together?"

The chamberlain bowed down respectfully and replied, "Back to the prince, Wei Changshi arrived first." ”

Xiao Jingxuan nodded and said, "Let Ding Weiran come in." Wei Ming waited outside. ”

After a while, Ding Weiran came to the study.

looked at Ding Weiran, who saluted respectfully. Xiao Jingxuan opened his mouth and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Ding Changshi?" ”

"Back to the prince, the lower officials came to report the government affairs during this period to the prince."

"Well, you name it."

So Ding Weiran began to report to Xiao Jingxuan on the transfer of officials, the tax situation, and the resettlement of displaced people, the reclamation of wasteland, and the establishment of prefectures and counties during this period.

After listening to Ding Weiran's words, Xiao Jingxuan nodded and said with relief: "Well, yes, it's been a hard time for Ding Changshi during this time." In this way, someone came, and gave Changshi some gold, silver, and silk. Long history, these political affairs will have to be bothered a lot in the future. ”

Seeing that Xiao Jingxuan had the intention of sending off guests, Ding Weiran thanked him and hurriedly retired.

After Ding Weiran completely retreated, Xiao Jingxuan's face immediately pulled down. With a serious expression, he said to the waiter: "Pass Wei Ming." ”

After Wei Ming arrived, he was interrupted by Xiao Jingxuan without waiting for the salute.

"Okay, brother, why are you doing so much?"

However, Wei Ming still stood aside after finishing the salute.

"Come, give a seat."

After Wei Ming sat down, there was immediately a waiter serving tea.

"Wei Ming, let's talk about it."

Wei Ming immediately stood up, saluted and said, "Lord Qiqi, everything else is fine during this time, but Lord Ding has some thoughts about the patrol camps in various states, and in addition, he has also extended his hand to the granges in various places halfway. ”

"Do you know who's behind it?"

"I don't know, but there's a lot to cater to."

Xiao Jingxuan sighed.

"Back then, I said that I hoped to have a good start and end with him, but I didn't expect it, but it will be like this in two years."

"Adults are angry, in fact, this is also a good thing, after all, it was discovered early"

"Anything else?"

"My lord, Liu Xiu ......"

Without waiting for Wei Ming to finish speaking, Xiao Jingxuan slapped the table directly, shattering the teacups on the table.

"You don't have to worry about this, step down."

"The subordinates retired."

After Wei Ming left, Xiao Jingxuan rubbed his eyebrows. I was very troubled.

Liu Xiu can be regarded as following him for many years, and he is an old man from Zuo Xiaowei, and he has been brave in all the wars.

If he didn't cross the line, Xiao Jingxuan was willing to give him a chance, but from the intelligence of the secret guard and the official documents of the imperial history. Xiao Jingxuan knew that Liu Xiu had made a big mistake this time.

However, even so, Xiao Jingxuan is still willing to give him a chance, as long as Liu Xiu can explain to himself in person this time, even if he is really guilty, Xiao Jingxuan intends to open the net.

Because he has been absent for a long time, there are a lot of official documents in the study, and each one needs to be seen by Xiao Jingxuan in person.

In the evening, there were still a lot of official documents that I hadn't read. Xiao Jingxuan got up and stretched.

He said to the left and right: "Spread the king's will, and tomorrow let the people of Hanlin come to the study to assist the king in handling official business." ”

"Yes."
