Yangzhou is prosperous, and the flowing water is competing.

The figures are scattered and the attics are numerous.

Li Xuan rode on the horse, looking at the crowded and busy middle street behind him, and he was stunned for a while.

Who knows how they got out of it.

Even Qiu Zhenmu, who was wearing a Qianniu official robe, was also squeezed around.

The local people in Yangzhou are still a little afraid of Qiu Zhenmu's official uniform, but those who come from Zhenla, Waguo, Cham, Buyeo, and high-nosed and deep-eyed people don't care about this, they stride back and forth in the middle streets of Yangzhou without scruples.

The ghost knows how these people from the Western Regions came to Yangzhou.

"Lord, we should have come by boat." While Qiu Zhenmu was tidying up her appearance, she looked at Li Xuan with a wry smile.

Before coming, the post house had already told them that it would be very troublesome to go to the Dadu Governor's Mansion from Zhongjie Avenue at this time, but Li Xuan still chose to come on horseback in order to see the real Yangzhou City.

The soldiers they expected were patrolling at all, only the figures of people lining the streets.

The prosperity of Yangzhou is still beyond their expectations, with wealthy businessmen and giants, and they are well-dressed.

Woodware, lacquerware, jadeware, copperware, paper, books, tea, silk, and other shops can be found everywhere.

The goods made in it are not only excellent, but even famous overseas, and the trade is the most prosperous in the world.

"It's okay, Fenghua Ten Miles Yangzhou Road can be regarded as having seen it."

Li Xuan smiled very indifferently, but Yu Ze on the side gave him an angry look.

Before leaving the Shendu, the emperor explained that he would write a secret letter every three days to return to the Shendu.

This secret fold is not only for the prince to read, but also for the emperor, and even for the queen of heaven.

If you are not careful, it will also pass into the hands of the prime ministers.

Therefore, every time Li Xuan sent a letter to Shendu, he would consider it again and again, and then ask Yu Ze to supplement and modify it, and then send it to Shendu.

The last letter was written about the livelihood of fiber households on both sides of the canal, and now this letter will inevitably write about the prosperity of Yangzhou.

Of course, there will definitely be something secretly poked in the middle, and they, the king of Nanchang, always like to bring some private goods.

Land annexation, population displacement, and people's livelihood are things that many people don't want to see.

"Huh?" Li Xuan looked fiercely at the street in front of him, his eyes flickered, as if he saw something unbelievable.

"What's wrong?" Qiu Zhenmu's right hand was fiercely held on the Qianniu knife, and the whole person was instantly alert.

"I seem to see a familiar figure, but maybe I'm mistaken." Li Xuan smiled, but under his eyes, a relatively large point of light jumped away violently, and immediately, a familiar prompt entry appeared in front of him.

[Ye Wanwan, the holy daughter of the Tianyin Sect, charming and charming, scheming and vicious, congenital true seed great consummation]

She actually came to Yangzhou alive, and even before herself, she was ambushed and hidden outside the Governor's Mansion.

It seems that his original judgment was right, and the Tianyin Sect still has a hidden line in Luoyang.

A dark line that is still unknown.

The street in the distance is sparsely populated, and this street, which is wider than the middle street, is sparsely populated, but the shops selling antique calligraphy and paintings on both sides are full.

In the middle of the long street, a huge mansion is majestic and solemn. ….

Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

Under the huge plaque, dozens of elite soldiers wearing mountain armor and armed with guns stood on both sides.

Li Xuan turned over and dismounted, and the moment he dismounted, his eyes flashed from the pawnshop opposite, and a figure quickly shrank back.

Looking at the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion in front of him, Li Xuan's face suddenly became solemn, leaving all the distractions behind.

Yu Ze on the side handed the famous thorn in his hand to the porter, and the porter took it, bowed slightly, and then immediately ran towards the mansion quickly.

The Metropolitan Governor of Yangzhou has always been only received by the former prince or given to the deceased minister

The last person who was posthumously awarded the Metropolitan Governor of Yangzhou was Xu Jingzong, the Duke of Gaoyang County.

It's the British Duke Li Qian.

The history of the governor of Yangzhou, concurrently serves as the history of Yangzhou Thorn, from the three products.

It is equivalent to the history of Shangzhou Thorn and the same as Jiusi Temple.

What's more, Yangzhou is a heavy place, and the position of long history is already more than very, not to mention the Dou family.

Suddenly, the middle door of the Grand Governor's Mansion opened.

A middle-aged official wearing a dark crimson official robe, a silverfish bag at his waist, and a black hat walked out hurriedly, followed by more than a dozen subordinate officials.

The person who came respectfully bowed to Li Xuan and saluted: "Sima Changyu, the governor of Yangzhou, has seen the king of Nanchang County."

"I've seen the king of Nanchang County!" More than a dozen people bowed at the same time.

"Everyone, please hurry up, this king is just a private visit, why is there such a battle." Li Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and helped Sima Changyu up.

The governor of Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is the *** from the third grade, and Sima of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, who is second only to him, is an official from the fourth grade.

If it was Dou Xuande who personally opened the middle door to greet him, I am afraid that Li Xuan would have to jump to his feet, turn around and leave.

He is not a messenger who passed on the decree, why did he let Shi Kaizhong, the governor of Yangzhou, welcome him personally.

Is it too idle to be idle?

"Lord Wang, please, Changshi is already waiting in the middle hall." Sima Changyu immediately got out of the way, Li Xuan nodded, and took the lead directly.

When he was in Luoyang, Li Xuan could casually meet Sanpin ***, the prime minister's son, but in Yangzhou, the only one he was really afraid of was Dou Xuande.

The Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion covers a vast area.

The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, the water bridge comes and goes, and the figures are scattered.

"This was originally the Wu Wangfu of Li Zitong, the king of Wu, and after it was defeated by the king of Hejian County, it was used as the capital governor's mansion of Yangzhou." Sima Changyu introduced to Li Xuan the origin of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

In that year, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, with the assistance of Li Jing, attacked Bashu, captured Zhu Cang, destroyed Xiao Liang, broke the auxiliary Gongyou, swept the southeast, and established immortal feats.

It's a pity that Li Jing's prestige is too high, and Li Xiaogong, as a clan, has ambitions that are difficult to reach, and in his later years, he indulged in wine and died of a violent illness.

But it's better, it's better than being like Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, who was involved in the case of Fang Yiai's rebellion and died of exile.

Crossing the tall threshold and entering the second courtyard, a magnificent official office appeared in front of Li Xuan, and a figure stood at the door of the central hall of the official office, dressed in a purple robe, with a hard face and a cold expression.

"Boy Li Xuan, I've seen Dou Weng." Li Xuan respectfully bowed to Dou Xuande.

Although Dou Xuande's title is only a male from Julu County, in terms of seniority, he is Li Zhi's cousin, and he is the same generation as Li Xuan. ….

But he is now more than sixty years old, and the governor of Yangzhou is the most powerful, and Li Xuan should take a salute first.

Dou Xuande stretched out his hand to help Li Xuan, and his expression suddenly eased a lot: "The king of Nanchang is heroic and chic, no wonder Huaizhen wrote a letter saying that the king of Nanchang is quite respected by the prince."

"Brother Huaizhen is now the crown prince Qianniu, and he has a great future, which is incomparable to Xiao Wang." Li Xuan smiled and took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Dou Xuande, saying, "This is a letter written by Uncle Han Wang to Dou Weng, Uncle Wang knew that the kid was passing through Yangzhou, so he asked the kid to bring the letter."

Dou Xuande glanced at Li Xuan with a smile, and then took the letter and said, "It is said that the king of Nanchang has a wide range of friends in Shendu, and he will not deceive me!"

Dou Huaizhen, the son of Dou Xuande, is now the crown prince Qianniu, and Li Xuan asked him to write a letter in advance because he was coming to Yangzhou.

"Where, the kid is just doing too much." Li Xuan glanced sideways behind him, and many of the officials of the Governor's Mansion were looking at them.

Dou Xuande immediately understood Li Xuan's intentions, and shouted to the subordinates behind him, "Lang Xing stays, and the others return to their own duties."

"Whoa!" Many of the officials of the Governor's Mansion immediately bowed down and retreated.

"King of Nanchang, please." Dou Xuande stretched out his hand to invite Li Xuan into the middle hall, and at the same time asked, "I don't know if Gong Liu is in good health."

"Yue Weng is in good health, and Lao Dou Weng is worried." Li Xuan followed behind Dou Xuande, and as he walked, he said, "Yue Weng has to enter the palace every day before the end of the day

But after all, he is too old, and in addition to the war in Baekje Goryeo in the early years, there are a lot of old wounds, which is unbearable."

"As a Zaifu, Duke Liu still needs to take care of his body, King of Nanchang, please take a seat." Dou Xuande stretched out his hand and pointed to the Hu chair on the right side of the desk in the middle hall.

Li Xuan hurriedly excused himself: "How dare the kid."

Saying that, Li Xuan sat down at the bottom of the head, and then looked at Dou Xuande who was sitting down and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please also ask Xiao Wang to greet Dou Weng, and the Prime Minister, Dou Weng, I don't know about that, the Dou family can make a decision."

Dou Xuande's face changed slightly, of course he knew what Li Xuan was talking about.

"In the affairs of the family, there are a few brothers who are in charge." Dou Xuande pushed it out lightly, the Dou family is also a big family, divided into Chang'an, Pingling, Pingyang, Qingyang, Fengxian and other houses, and it is not Dou Xuande who is really in charge, and who the princess chooses is not up to them.

It was the Empress Wu who really made the decision.

Dou Xuande's light push in this matter also shows his attitude when Li Xuan came to visit Yangzhou.
