Chapter 580: Chop first and then play, butcher's knife held high
Under the plaque of "Gongming and Honest Authority" in the lobby of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion, Li Xuan unfolded a holy decree with both hands, his face was solemn and his expression was solemn.
Below, including Shi Dou Xuande, the governor of Yangzhou, all knelt on the ground.
"In the second year of the reign of Wei Shang, the year of Yihai, on the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, the emperor said:
Shi Dou Xuande, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, was appointed as the ambassador of Jiangnan Province, and Li Xuan, the king of Nanchang County, was appointed as the deputy envoy of Jiangnan Province.
The armies obey the order, but it is not harmonious, and they can be cut first and then played.
Chinz is spoiled, but he can't be careful!"
After Li Xuan read the holy decree, Dou Xuande immediately held his hands up, accepted the decree, and then thanked him heavily: "Minister Dou Xuande, thank Your Majesty Longen, long live, long live, long live, long live."
"Hooray, hooray, hooray." Many Yangzhou bureaucrats present immediately bowed their heads at the same time.
"Dou Weng, please get up, everyone, please get up." Li Xuan stretched out his hand to help Dou Xuande up, and then pointed to the secretary Lang Xue Zhongzhang and the member of the military department, Wai Lang Laisui and others, and said: "This time, the army preparation, the military department, the household department, and the industrial department all have members who are in agreement, and all matters need to be filed with the military department, the household department, and the industrial department."
"I've seen you!" Dou Xuande was very polite and gave up his hands to everyone.
"I've seen Dou Weng." Xue Zhongzhang and the others also bowed their hands to Dou Xuande, and then, Xue Zhongzhang personally held the two boxes held by the officials behind him to Dou Xuande and Li Xuan.
The ambassador of the Jiangnan Provincial Army and the deputy envoy of the Jiangnan Provincial Army.
With these two big seals, Li Xuan and Dou Xuande can both cut first and then play.
The faces of everyone in the hall couldn't help but show a trace of doubt.
It stands to reason that this kind of thing is enough to have an ambassador for the army, why arrange a deputy envoy for the army, and both of them have their own seals, which means that both of them have the right to cut first and then play, which is a little wrong.
Everyone present is an old man in the officialdom, and they can smell the strange smell here, but no one will ask directly stupidly what is going on.
After all, even Dou Xuande didn't have any doubts, how could they dare to easily question the instructions of the imperial court.
After Dou Xuande took the seal, he sat directly under the lobby, Li Xuan sat on the side, and the officials of the other prefectures stood on both sides, bowing their heads to listen to orders.
"Sima." Dou Xuande turned his head to look at Sima Changyu, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately send the Dengzhou Navy Division and the Hangzhou Navy Division, and order them to immediately renovate the warship, recruit sailors, and prepare all the supplies to go to sea.
"Whoa!" Chang Yu immediately surrendered.
Dou Xuande then looked at Lan Zhe of Hanjiang Zhichong Mansion, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Lan Du, I order you to quickly repair the ship with the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry from now on, and on the first day of the tenth month, this governor will see that all the sailors in the entire Hanjiang Mansion are all ready."
"Obey." Lan Zhe gave up his hand with a solemn face, and then retreated.
"Lu Sima!" Dou Xuande looked at Sima Lu Yuanfang of Yangzhou Thorn History Mansion,
Lu Yuanfang immediately stepped forward and arched his hand, "Please give orders!"
Dou Xuande said solemnly: "From now on, mobilize all the grain, grass, and timber in Yangzhou, prepare household registers, and fully cooperate with Hanjiang Mansion to prepare for going to sea, there must be no mistake."
"Subordinates obey orders." Lu Yuanfang did not hesitate to give up his promise.
Although Lu Yuanfang is only the Sima of the Yangzhou Thorn Mansion, in fact, he is in charge of the entire Yangzhou Thorn Mansion.
Dou Xuande served as the governor of Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and concurrently served as the Assassin of Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion.
The permanent imperial official served as the Sima of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and concurrently served as the governor of the Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion.
Although they served in the Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion, these two people stayed in the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion on weekdays.
Yangzhou Thorn History Mansion, all the trivial matters in Yangzhou City, are presided over by Sima Lu Yuanfang of Yangzhou Thorn History Mansion.
Over the years, Lu Yuanfang has been in Yangzhou Assassin Mansion, and nothing has happened there to worry Dou Xuande.
Glancing at Lu Yuanfang, Dou Xuande turned to look at Li Xuan: "King of Nanchang."
"The subordinates are here.
Li Xuan immediately stood up and obeyed the order.
"Let you rush south to Hangzhou three days later, and urge the Hangzhou Navy to prepare for the matter, and the Hangzhou Assassin Mansion should fully cooperate, if there is any obstacle, you can cut it first and then play." A hint of murderous aura flashed in Dou Xuande's eyes.
"The Lower Officials obey the order." Li Xuan's face was also solemn, this time the seriousness of the matter, both of them were very clear.
The slightest deviation will affect not only Andong Dao, but even the entire Hebei Province and the imperial court's war preparations for Tubo.
In the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Xuan was still young and didn't know anything, but Dou Xuande had experienced it.
The Dou family and the royal family surnamed Li are on the same holiday, and the two of them are equally clear about the importance of this.
Dou Xuande's face soothed, turned his head, looked at the people present, and said, "From today on, the Governor's Mansion, the Assassin's Mansion, the county and county offices, and the officials at all levels will be on duty, and if anyone can't find anyone on duty, they will be dismissed immediately."
"The Lower Officials obey the order." Everyone present gave up their hands at the same time, and they didn't dare to ignore Dou Xuande's words.
It is now the rhythm of the semi-war period, and if they are deposed at this time, even if they have a relationship background, it will be difficult to save the situation.
Dou Xuande took a deep breath and looked sideways at Li Xuan: "King Nanchang, is there anything else?"
"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded, then looked at everyone, his eyes swept sharply over everyone, and he shouted coldly: "From today on, the Governor's Mansion and the Assassin's Mansion shall not be disclosed to the outside world at will.
Li Xuan said a word, and everyone present subconsciously looked at Dou Xuande.
Dou Xuande raised his head lightly and looked at everyone: "It's not the first time you have known the king of Nanchang, if you have any handle in his hands, this governor will not be able to save you."
The expressions of everyone present suddenly turned awe-inspiring.
The last time Li Xuan came to Yangzhou, he only did two things.
One is to reorganize the Cao Gang, the leader of the Cao Gang, Xu Jidang, was imprisoned, and the internal forces of the Cao Gang were reshuffled; The other thing was to kill Wen Bingyan, the master of the Huaiyang Hall of the Tianyin Sect, and An Rongxiang, one of the four elders.
Although this incident will not directly break the situation in the entire Yangzhou, it is frightening, lest the butcher's knife fall at any time.
You must know that Li Xuan at that time was just a passer-by in Yangzhou, and he had already made such a big move, and now, he has arrived in Yangzhou again, and he even has the right to cut first and then play.
At this time, the top of everyone's heads was like a butcher's knife hanging at any time.
But fortunately, three days after the king of Nanchang, he will rush south to Hangzhou.
Strange, since it was a rush south to Hangzhou, why didn't you start as soon as possible, and you had to start three days later.
Some people with a keen mind have already sensed some wind and rain that cannot be seen.
"Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard the words of this king?" Li Xuan drank coldly again, and everyone present immediately turned around, and at the same time arched his hand and said, "The lower official obeys the order."
"In that case, let's go down and get busy." Dou Xuande waved his hand directly and asked everyone to leave.
However, just as everyone had just left the lobby, Dou Xuande spoke again: "Xu joins the army for a while, and prepares a simple dinner tonight to entertain all the Qincha from the center."
"Don't dare." Xue Zhongzhang and the others present hurriedly surrendered their hands, they didn't dare to think that they were Qincha, and only Li Xuan had this qualification.
Dou Xuande waved his hand casually, then looked at Li Xuan and asked, "The king of Nanchang will live in the Governor's Mansion this time, and there are all the official envoys, it is convenient to live and send envoys."
Li Xuan took a light breath, the expression on his face gradually soothed, and then he bowed his hand to Dou Xuande: "If you compare, you will trouble Dou Weng."
The last time Li Xuan came, he lived in Yangzhou Station, but now he lives directly in the Governor's Mansion.
The waning moon is like a hook, and in the back office of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, rows of tables and tables are placed under the flower hall in the backyard, like flowing water.
Li Xuan and Dou Xuande sat on the top, and on the left were Sima Changyu and Thorn Shifu
Sima Lu Yuanfang, on the right are Xue Zhongzhang, Lai Sui, Zhou Qian, Cui Ding and others, although their official positions are not high, but they are real Beijing officials.
The food and wine at the banquet were relatively simple and not luxurious, which disappointed some Beijing officials who hoped to see the prosperity of Yangzhou.
But after glancing at Li Xuan and Dou Xuande, who were talking seriously at the first moment, the minds of everyone present quickly converged.
Li Xuan had just drunk the wine in the cup, and at this time, he heard Dou Xuande ask, "Virtuous nephew, why didn't you see Qianniu Weiqiu preparing for the south this time!"
"What Dou Weng wants to ask about General Qiu Zhonglang, right?" Li Xuan showed a wry smile on his face, and then said, "Actually, the little nephew doesn't know what the situation of General Qiu Zhonglang is now, since he chased and killed his wife in Muzhou, the little nephew hasn't seen him now. Even Qiu Beishen, for some reason, after returning to Chang'an, the little nephew never saw him again."
Dou Xuande didn't answer directly, but just turned sideways and played with the wine glass in his hand, and said softly: "It is rumored that Qiu Shenli went to the grassland, and the last time the grassland tribe received Jieli and Tuli's descendants to flee from Chang'an, it really angered the queen of heaven, so Qiu Shenqi was sent to the grassland."
"Maybe it's working." Li Xuan looked at the waning moon in the wine glass, and said softly: "General Zhonglang has a cold personality, I heard that in the Western Regions back then, he was also a decisive general, and he was so prosperous that he even had the intention of chasing after the prince of Pingyang County."
Xue Rengui, the prince of Pingyang County, is known for his decisiveness in the future, and his ruthless, bloody and cruel attacks can even make babies stop crying.
At the beginning, when the grassland tribes heard that Xue Rengui was transferred to Daizhou to assassinate the history, the outstretched minions were so frightened that they immediately recovered, and the entire tribe bowed down and made a gesture of sincere fear.
Although the grassland tribes participated in the escape of Ashina Nishulu and Ashina Gana, there were no grassland tribes in the clouds.
Xue Rengui's prestige was almost all slashed with a blade.
Qiu Shenqi is not far behind in this regard, cruel and ruthless, fierce and murderous, not inferior to Xue Rengui, the prince of Pingyang County, but it is a pity......
"Get down to business." Dou Xuande's face instantly became solemn, and he asked in a low voice, "What is the next matter, how does the virtuous nephew think about it?"
"First of all, we must start with the Silla envoy, the little nephew came south this time, and he set off from Chang'an all the way, and the news was blocked along the way, some people should be in a hurry now, whether it is Silla or the king of the East China Sea, now it is just pushing the boat."
The corners of Li Xuan's mouth showed a slight sneer, and now the show has just begun.
