Chapter 526: If There Is No Will, It Is Will
In the cold farewell officer's house, the black coffin containing the body of the queen was parked in the center of the lobby.
There was no incense, no worship.
On the long couch in the inner room, Ming Chongyan and Sima Chengzhen looked at the chessboard in front of them with serious faces, as if there were countless mysteries on the chessboard, no one was willing to raise their eyes, occasionally the chess pieces fell, and faintly, they could even hear the sound of swords, guns and swords and the sound of lightning.
Li Xuan cautiously entered from the outside with a few plates of vegetarian dishes and a wine jug in her hand.
Glancing at the chessboard, he immediately withdrew his gaze, his face was calm, his eyes were clear, and he looked unaffected in the slightest.
"Two real people!" Li Xuan put the vegetarian food and wine jug on the table in the inner room, then walked up to the two of them, and arched his hand: "I heard that the two real people rested here all night last night, I wonder if it is not appropriate to arrange the bedroom?"
"No, the state government bedroom is very well placed, but the two of us can't leave here for a while." Sima Chengzhen glanced up at Li Xuan, his eyes were full of deep meaning.
The seven-day period of the queen's soul is approaching, and she will either return in these two days and try to resurrect, or she will not appear at all in these two days and die completely, so these two days are particularly important.
Sima Chengzhen didn't want to talk too much about this matter, so he asked, "When will the king return to Chang'an, and it is better to take a hitchhike on the poor road?"
Li Xuan straightened up, arched his hand and said, "Xiao Wang is waiting for His Majesty's will, if there is no His Majesty's order, Xiao Wang will not dare to move lightly."
Ming Chongyan Heizi fell, and then looked up at Li Xuan: "Even if it is eight hundred miles in an emergency, it will take several days to get from Muzhou to Shendu, not to mention, the central palindrome is even slower, and it will take at least ten days to go back and forth...... But then again, it was just in time for the king to go back to Chang'an to get married."
Ming Chongyan's words seemed to mean something else.
Li Xuan looked completely incomprehensible, and arched his hand in the direction of Shendu and said, "Xiao Wang, everything is arranged by His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven."
Speaking of this, Li Xuan once again bowed his hand to Ming Chongyan and Sima Chengzhen and said: "Two real people, Xiao Wang will go to the counties tomorrow to inspect the autumn planting and county learning in various counties, and it will take three or five days to return, and I am here to inform the two real people today."
"Three or five days?" Ming Chongyan frowned, looked at Li Xuan and said puzzledly, "It seems that the King of Nanchang has stopped caring about the affairs of his wife since he returned to Wuzhou, somehow?"
Ming Chongyan's gaze was as sharp as a sword for a moment.
Li Xuan smiled faintly, and then said slightly apologetically: "Some things at the beginning were not done properly by Xiao Wang, and I apologize to the two real people here."
"Oh?" Ming Chongyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and his face showed a puzzled look.
Sima Chengzhen raised his head, looked at Li Xuan thoughtfully, and asked, "There are masters around the prince...... I wonder if the prince can talk to Poor Dao, what is not done properly?"
"At the beginning, it was Xiao Wang who was cranky, and at that time he had a life, so he had to act recklessly, and asked the two real people to forgive his sins." Li Xuan just lightly touched on it, and did not go into the matter further.
"So now, the center has no will, how can the prince be sure that he is wrong?" Ming Chongyan still held on to his bite.
"There is no will, but there is will." Li Xuan arched his hand at Ming Chongyan, then bowed, turned around and walked back.
Looking at Li Xuan's back as he left, Ming Chongyan frowned and said, "It seems that the King of Nanchang is sure of something?"
"Although Fang Scale, the king of Wuzhou Thorn History, is the cousin of that one, he has sophisticated governance methods, and he also has his own opinions on the affairs of the center, maybe he has seen something, and he may not be able to point out the king of Nanchang." Sima Chengzhen waved his hand, and the chessboard in front of him was immediately thrown into chaos.
Ming Chongyan glanced at Sima Chengzhen angrily, and then his face immediately became solemn, he thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "If you say so, what was wrong at the beginning, not only him, didn't we also misjudge, and we only reacted now."
Sima Chengzhen waved the dust in his hand and said calmly, "The two of us are just guarding the only hope."
Ming Chongyan raised her eyebrows, and said with a frown, "Could it be that she really gave up all this and did it
A lonely ghost, waiting for death in peace?"
"Immortal Dao Guisheng, since she is no longer an immortal, naturally she will no longer survive." Sima Chengzhen pinched a sunspot, then looked at Ming Chongyan, and said softly: "You said just now that I made a mistake in judgment before, why can't you be firm on this."
Ming Chongyan sighed: "It's not that I don't want to believe it, it's really that this decision is too amazing, if that's the case, then it means that Empress Yuan not only gave up on herself, but even gave up everything she once had, what is she trying to do?"
"You don't think as thoroughly as the King of Nanchang." Sima Chengzhen swept slightly at the chessboard, and the black and white pieces fell into the chess box, and he continued: "Do you remember when the king of Nanchang was and his attitude changed?"
"When the city of Muzhou saw the new Muzhou assassin." Ming Chongyan remembered very well that after meeting Qin Ming, Li Xuan almost seemed to be a different person, and his attention to the affairs of the queen was extremely reduced.
"No, that's just the result." Sima Chengzhen shook his head lightly and said, "Do you still remember what the King of Nanchang once asked when he was on the Xin'an River, who was the person who took the prince's seal?"
"King of the Eastern Sea." Ming Chongyan gave a categorical answer.
Sima Chengzhen nodded lightly and said, "The identity of the King of the Western Regions has now been determined, and you are afraid that you are already using means to deal with him now, so what about the King of the East China Sea, what is his identity, you have been checking for so many years, I am afraid that it is the closest now, but as soon as the queen dies, all the clues are lost."
"So, do you mean that the king of Nanchang is also aware of this, so he will decisively give up control of the queen of the concubine?" As soon as Ming Chongyan finished talking about his question, he immediately gave a positive answer.
"Wise man!" Sima Chengzhen sighed lightly, looked at Ming Chongyan and said, "Qiu Shenqi's matter, if you want to give an explanation to the queen of heaven, you should ask the king of Nanchang well."
After Sima Chengzhen finished speaking, he closed his eyes slightly.
Ming Chongyan lowered his head slightly, and a trace of indifference flashed in his eyes.
Qiu Shenqi has his own way of dealing with things, so why do you need to ask others.
Qiu Shenyu's death must be a mystery.
With a light breeze, Li Xuan stood on the bow of the boat, wearing a golden brocade robe on a black background.
Ahead is Dongyang County, and after so much time, Li Xuan finally returned to Dongyang again.
"I've seen the king." Cheng Gu Tan of Dongyang County stood on the dock, looked at Li Xuan who walked off the boat, and immediately bowed his hands.
A group of familiar Dongyang County officials behind him also bowed their hands, and they all claimed, "I've seen the king."
"Everyone, please." Li Xuan looked at everyone, raised his hand in a gentle voice, and everyone stood up straight.
Li Xuan took Yu Ze and Wang Bo to get into the carriage with everyone, and then went to the county government together.
In the hall of the county government, Li Xuan sat behind the public case.
Gu Tan has successively made a tribute to Li Xuan about the summer harvest and autumn planting in Dongyang, the construction of county schools, and the improvement of river channels during this period of time.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and said, "This king is here this time for the matter of the Yonghui Monument."
"Eternal Monument!" Gu Tan's expression immediately tightened.
The rumors about the Yonghui Monument came from Li Xuan's posting to the counties mentioning what he had done in Muzhou to build the Yonghui Monument.
Such a thing, the old and spicy officials everywhere saw the danger at a glance.
"A large Yonghui monument should be erected outside the south gate of Dongyang County, and a small one can be erected in other townships." Li Xuan's gaze fell on Gu Tan's body, and Gu Tan's face suddenly hesitated.
Li Xuan casually played with the arrow on the table, and said seemingly casually, "You should know that the position of Jinhua County Commander is about to become vacant?"
"Yes, the lower officials have heard some rumors." Gu Tan lowered his head slightly, and his expression suddenly tightened in the place where he couldn't see.
Li Xuan nodded, and then said, "This king heard some rumors a few days ago, and the Huang County Commander of Guixian County is seeking the position of Jinhua County Commander?"
Gu Tan suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Xuan with some surprise on his face: "The body of the county venerable is finished
Fully recovered?"
In the final analysis, Gu Tan is not Dongyang County, but a few months ago, the county commander Huang Jin was seriously injured, which gave him the opportunity to take charge of Dongyang County, and he followed Li Xuan before, Gu Tan also made a lot of contributions, under normal circumstances, it is not a problem to be promoted to the county commander.
Now Huang Jin took the initiative to seek the position of Jinhua County Commander, which happened to vacate Gu Tan's position.
"It should be, but with the current situation, it is not realistic for the Huang County Commander to seek the position of Jinhua County Commander." Speaking of this, Li Xuan said calmly: "Jinhua County is an upper county, and the county order is on the seventh grade, and one step forward can be a state and county official, but although Dongyang County is a middle county, in the recent turmoil, the Huang County order has really not contributed much, and the level adjustment is already the grace of the imperial court, how can you still ask for another step."
Li Xuan's words made everyone stunned for a while, and Kang Yao, the county lieutenant on the side, couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say that Huang Xianling and Du joined the army were married?"
"Du joined the army in the counterinsurgency, and made great contributions to the establishment, but it was Du who made meritorious contributions, so what is the entanglement with the Huang County Order?" Li Xuan turned his head to look at Gu Tan and said softly, "If it is the Huang County Order, and the pursuit of Jinhua County is not possible, then it is impossible to say, he will come back to take charge of Dongyang affairs again."
As Li Xuan's gaze fell on Gu Tan's body,
The crowd at the scene immediately understood the subtext in Li Xuan's words.
Once Huang Jin comes back, then the power of Dongyang will inevitably fall back into the hands of Huang Jin.
With Huang Jin in front of him, Gu Tan wants to seek the position of Dongyang County Commander, so the first hurdle that needs to be passed is Huang Jin.
After going around such a big circle, everyone immediately understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words.
Suddenly, everyone's mood couldn't help but sink.
During Huang Jin's absence, Gu Tan took over from him, and almost became the de facto county commander of Dongyang.
Now, although Gu Tan has made a lot of contributions in the previous counterinsurgency, if Huang Jin really comes back, if he doesn't want to be blocked on the road of the county Cheng, then he can only find a way to go somewhere else to serve as the county commander.
Although with his merits and the strength of the Gu family, he can definitely do this, it also means that all the hard work he has been working in Dongyang has been in vain.
Looking up at Li Xuan, Gu Tan arched his hand very decisively and said, "The lower official is willing to set up a monument of eternal emblem from the order of the prince."
Li Xuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled.
The Yonghui monument of Wuzhou City has been erected, Jinhua County and Lanxi County have also begun construction, and now with Dongyang, Li Xuan is easily in the next city.
Raising his head, Li Xuan looked at everyone and said, "Now that Muzhou is at the beginning of peace, the five counties of Wuzhou are vacant, and the Huangxian county is considerate and loves the people, Muzhou is not an ideal place."
In just a few words, Li Xuan had already kicked Huang Jin to Muzhou.
Seeing the horror on everyone's faces, Li Xuan said lightly: "Although this king doesn't mind that today's words are known by Huang County, in order to avoid turmoil, I still hope that you can keep it a little secret."
After Li Xuan finished speaking, Gu Tan immediately looked at everyone fiercely, and there was no clearer understanding of the foundation of everyone present.
