In the evening, seeing off the last group of congratulatory guests, the county lord himself gathered and left the people from his home for a big meal.

It's not that I am reluctant to invite those people to dinner, I have already learned a lesson last time, and this time it was a trivial matter.

is a title, in the current environment, there are dozens of princes in the capital alone, plus the marquis who runs everywhere, a position like an earl is really not worth celebrating.

Also, the timing is very sensitive now, and we must not do it again last time.

In addition, the party is not at home, how to celebrate is a little inappropriate, if Yuan Rui sets a few tables at home, it is nothing to have a simple meal.

In this case, there is an emergency over there, so forget it.

Of course, my family is different, and it's okay to eat no matter how I eat.

Wei Guogong and his wife, plus Xu Guangguang, the county lord of Ding'an and his little nephew, as well as the two Meng scholars and his wife, a whole big table.

During the meal, the county lord looked at his nephew and Xiaohe's big fat son, a little envious, and whispered.

"If you want to say that this kid is losing, he could have inherited the title."

"Sister, you can do it, my father said it, that is the immortal Jiashanbo, and it can't be passed on at all." Xiaohe snickered.

This time it's really, and somehow, when the saint was canonized, he was given the rank of the most inferior earl.

Now Yuan Rui's two daughters are both county lords, and there is really no one who can inherit them, if you want to say that the saint did not mean it, no one believes it at all.

"You're stupid, just rely on his father's cleverness, and replace it with a hereditary one that doesn't play with it."

"Sister, no, even if it becomes hereditary, isn't it good to leave it to the future of your family."

"Hmph, a count's position, I'm not rare, my son is at least the prince."

"I think so, just with your Yuan Rui's tossing strength, Guogong doesn't have to run."

The county lord of Ding'an, who was sitting on the side, heard the whispering of the two, and while his son was running to find his grandfather, he also turned his head and participated in the discussion.

Seeing his grandson coming, Wei Guogong and Scholar Meng stopped talking and turned their heads to coax their grandson.

During this time, Scholar Meng really couldn't see through the situation in the court, and he was a little panicked, wondering if he was going to submit his resignation and return home.

This time I came to see the county lord, and I also had the intention of asking Wei Guogong. Wei Guogong had a good impression of Scholar Meng, and he also knew that this was a person who was not good at being left and right in the court, so he would tell the truth to Yuan Rui's face.

At present, it has no impact on Scholar Meng, he is a literati of the Hanlin Academy, and he is originally two lines with the court, and he has no intention of fighting for power and profit, so he can't hinder others from doing anything.

Therefore, Wei Guogong directly comforted him not to worry, and looked at it slowly, for the court, there were almost no people staring at them.

"Master, what my father said may also be a little biased, but at present, I have heard a lot in the court that this is also the case, Hanlin Academy, Beijing Academy, these will not have any impact, this time the saint is to prepare for the northern expedition, and it will pass soon."

Xu Guangguang, who was sitting on the other side of Scholar Meng, saw that the old man was busy coaxing his grandson, and then said.

"Don't hide it from the world, I'm not obsessed with official positions, according to my intentions, I wanted to submit my resignation last year, but at that time, I had just been given the title by the saint, and I was worried that it would cause the saint to be dissatisfied, so I didn't keep silent. This year, Yuan Rui went out as an official, and his grandson was born again, if I had to choose, I would rather take my grandson to play at home! ”

"Yes, yes, it's good to bring your grandson, we are so old, what are we tossing, it's comfortable to go home and bring your grandson." Wei Guogong coaxed his grandson and turned his head to echo.

"However, don't worry, don't rush for a while, otherwise the Holy Lord will think that you really have any ideas, don't join in the fun, and when the time comes, everything will be easy."

"Yes, yes, Guogong is very right, I don't care, don't make trouble for Yuan Rui."

"Master, don't think about it, that kid just pierced the sky, and the saints won't trouble him, don't worry."

It may be that this sentence was loud, and the county lord on the opposite side heard it, and immediately attracted the county lord's eyes.

I don't know if the old man believes in Yuan Rui too much, and now it has come to this point, and the old man is not in a hurry at all.

The county lord is different, she is really a little worried.

More than half a year has passed, and I heard that the situation over there is getting worse and worse.

"Sister, you said that Xianggong has been gone for so long, when will he be able to come back."

"He, he doesn't know how to be comfortable outside, how can he want to come back." The county lord couldn't help but pout.

"Sister, either or not, I'll take Xiwen to Tanzhou to have a look," Xiaohe asked softly.

"Actually, it's okay, but the second brother said that after a while, when he gets married, he may come back from the guild, or wait for him to come back, and then discuss what to do."

The county lord is not a jealous person, and for such a long time, Xianggong really needs someone to follow him.

The second brother came back at that time and discussed with the old man, it was best to find an opportunity for Yuan Rui to come back, there were many things that he needed to deal with.

If it weren't for the fact that this incident was too sudden, Wei Guogong would have thought about finding a time to mention this matter to the Shengshang, but unfortunately, this incident happened too suddenly, and he could only wait for the next opportunity.

Chenzhou Mansion was called Yuanling in ancient times, located in the west of Tanzhou, north of Hengzhou, and adjacent to Shuzhou. Chenzhou is a multi-ethnic area, with only one-third of the Han people, half of the Miao people, and a small number of other ethnic groups such as the Dong and Yao peoples.

Luyang County of Chenzhou Prefecture is in the middle of Wuling Mountain Miao people and Wugang Village, less than 200 miles east of Wulingman, less than 100 miles west of Wugang Military Village, is a buffer zone between Han and Miao, and most of the Han and Miao transactions in the past were also carried out here.

Since the court set up a trading department in Jingzhou, Luyang has become embarrassed here, and many items from other prefectures and counties are no longer traded here. As a result, what the Han people in the vicinity were able to come up with was far from meeting the needs of the Miao people.

There is no way for the Luyang County Ya, Jingzhou was originally under the jurisdiction of the Guizhou Inspection Department, and it has nothing to do with Tanzhou, and the second is that the Jingzhou Trading Department is directly under the Ministry of Households.

Not to mention Jingzhou Mansion, even the Guizhou Inspection Envoy can't manage it, let alone a county magistrate who can point fingers, and if you have opinions, you can only hold them in your stomach.

Luyang Zhixian is not worried about floods like most officials in Tanzhou, but because of the topography, Luyang has almost no damage this time, whether it is crop yield or other agricultural affairs, it is normal.

Liu Jinglin, the county governor of Luyang, was originally a native of Guang'an Mansion in Shuzhou, with an average family background, his ancestors were small officials, and his father was a lecturer in the county edict.

Therefore, he has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and his talent is not bad, he ranked second and fifty-seventh in the imperial examination in Xining's nine-year imperial examination, and was directly awarded the county of Luyang, and has been in office for six years now.

Originally, he hoped that he could return to Shuzhou to be an official, but at that time, the officials were elected officials, and he had no connections, and his ranking was not high.

Luyang is not a very bad place, and it should be a relatively popular place, but there is one point, there are too many Miao people in Luyang, and many new Jinshi are still more concerned about such an environment, so they vacate Luyang.

He is different, he has been in Shuzhou for more than 20 years, born and raised, not only familiar with the Miao people, but also has a lot of understanding of other ethnic groups.

There are some rumors in Liuzhi County, saying that the Miao people in the mountains are becoming more and more dissatisfied, not only as simple as complaining, but also some radical means.

At first, Liu Zhixian didn't care too much, after all, there are too many such things, there are often such rumors, you can't believe it, you can't believe it all, everyone still has to make do with it.

For Liu Zhixian, even if he knew that the Miao people might be unfavorable to the Han people, it was not easy to prepare, and he couldn't do anything like locking down the city and arresting people.

Perhaps, in the county town of the average Han people, such a thing is very simple, but in a place like Luyang, where more than half of the Miao people are accounted for, the county town is full of Miao people, if you really want to use force against the Miao people, don't say anything about such a trivial matter as news leakage, it is not good, there is no need for Miao people outside the city, just the Miao people in the city can drive the Han people out.

But that's it, he, the magistrate of the county, still has to do something, in case something really happens, he can't stay in the county office and wait for death.

He also has a little experience, that is, first find the more famous Miao people in the city and explain the matter and contradictions clearly.

But when he saw these people, he immediately noticed that something was wrong, and these people were usually very polite and respectful of him.

As a magistrate, there are still many people who listen to him in Luyang, and everyone has more connections with each other, so when there is no conflict of big interests, it is very realistic.

But this time, it was a little different, and politeness was also polite, but the expressions of several people were a little alienated and tentative, not only did Liu Zhixian fail to hear the specific news, but also aggravated his suspicions.

In the evening, the county Cheng secretly came and told him a tricky news, the Miao people were really preparing to use force.

Although he usually has some disagreement with the county magistrate, he believes that on this issue, the county magistrate will not talk nonsense, and if something goes wrong, not only will he be unlucky as the county magistrate, but all the officials in the county will be unlucky.

I don't know if it's too late to send the news out now, there are still a lot of border troops in Wugang Military Village, as long as the anger of the Miao people is calmed down first, and then talk slowly.

But before he could react, there was an accident in the county, and the Miao people informed most of the people in the city that as long as everyone lived normally as they were now, there would be no damage to their property and life.

That night, a senior grandfather of the Miao people went to the county government and had a formal discussion with Liu Zhi County.
