Suddenly, the news that Li Yuan went to disaster relief came, Yang Guang was a little surprised, and Li Yuan himself was the same.

Li Yuan looked at Yang Guang and waited for Yang Guang's meaning.

"Li Yuan, since it is a holy decree, of course you have to follow it first."

Li Yuan immediately knelt down and received the order with both hands, minister, thank you for your kindness.

The eunuch who delivered the decree said with a smile: "Congratulations to Tang Guogong for his ascension, and his rise is just around the corner." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Li Yuan responded with a smile, sent people away, and looked at Yang Guang with a worried face: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this ......"

Yang Guang smiled and said: "Cousin, you used to be a Beijing official, although you are in charge of Yingyangwei and other affairs, everything is very critical, but the Great Sui Dynasty has always had to have the experience of the feudal officials in various places to go to the center, and it is easier to continue to be promoted after having mature experience in the locality. ”

"But, Your Highness the Crown Prince, in that case, I can't go with you."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal in my business, it's overkill for you to follow me out, cousin, it's good for you to go to office with peace of mind, and I will do my best to support you."

Li Yuan respectfully said to Yang Guang: "His Royal Highness the Prince, obey the order." ”

Yang Guang pulled Li Yuan and whispered: "Cousin, you may not be familiar with disaster relief, I have to remind you, in the father's will, these are the towns, the towns and the towns, the towns, the disobedient are the towns, the obedient are the victims, the affected places, once the food is difficult to deliver, the hungry people can do anything, and you have to deal with it carefully." ”

"There are also things like this, which may involve some pickled things of local officials, and you have appointed the past, if the local officials and gentry have some things that may deceive you, you are in charge of the Eagle Guard, you have seen more of these things than me, you should know how to deal with them."

"Your Highness, rest assured, the minister understands."

"Be careful, if you need any support, just ask."

"The minister understands, send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yang Guang waved goodbye to Li Yuan.

Without Li Yuan by his side, although there is one less person to give advice, it is also a good thing that Li Yuan can get the opportunity to be promoted.

In ancient times, the fastest way to be promoted, in addition to fighting, is two kinds, one is to patrol the heavens, supervise one party's important cases, such as the case related to a certain feudal official, the people in the court are paying attention, and you can be promoted soon if you do a good job.

The second is disaster relief, which also went out on behalf of the emperor, maintained stability, and helped the victims, so that the emperor was satisfied, and the people were satisfied.

After a short hiccup, Yang Guang's motorcade set off again.

The origin of the 500-person guards was to protect the army and Qin Qiong, and to protect the law left and right, in addition to the regular personnel, this time they also brought Li Tongan, because she said that she wanted to follow, so she brought it.

In the wide carriage, Li Tongan asked curiously: "Your Highness, what do you say is delicious and fun in Shandong?" ”

"We're not here to play, we're serious about things."

"Isn't it just a small thing?"

This matter is very "dangerous". ”

"Huh? What's so dangerous about this? ”

"It's dangerous in another sense."

They galloped along a wide avenue, and the scenery along the way was breathtaking, and the sun was faint, hanging in the blue sky, sprinkling wisps of golden light, reflecting the whole land.

On both sides of the road are fruitful orchards, willows are planted beside clear streams, the breeze blows, wafting the elegant fragrance of flowers, in the fields, farmers are trying to harvest their crops, golden ears of rice swaying in the wind, like a sea of gold.

Small bridges cross the clear and bright stream, reflecting the blue sky and the surrounding mountains, and the occasional egret flying by and shuttling through the verdant woods, adding a touch of agility to the whole scene.

At the foot of the mountain beside the road, there are several ancient and solemn temples, the eaves are carved with gorgeous patterns, the temple is full of cigarette smoke, and there are bursts of melodious bells and drums, and the wind blows, which is particularly quiet and solemn.

A few days later, Yang Guang arrived outside the city of Qufu, and in front of this temple, officials from Qufu and Shandong were waiting for Yang Guang's arrival.

"Taishou, according to the itinerary, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have arrived."

"Don't worry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely arrive today."

The one who replied was Cui Chengjun, the Taishou of Lu County, the son of the Cui clan of Qinghe, the Taishou of a county, and he was followed by the officials of the county, and then the local officials of Qufu.

It stands to reason that such an event must involve the Kong family, but Cui Chengjun led people out of the city and did not bring the Kong family.

Because he knew what happened to Yang Guang and Kong Sheng Kong Bo before, he was afraid of upsetting Yang Guang, so he came out of the city first, firstly to show respect, and secondly, to probe the wind.

Now the Kong family in the city is waiting for it? No matter how you say this Confucian holy land, it is still surnamed Kong.

When the convoy arrived in the distance, Choi Sung-jun immediately greeted him when he received the news.

Lai Hu'er, the leader, carried a spear, turned around and said to Yang Guang: "Your Highness, someone has come to greet us in front, there are not many people in this way, it is a bit rude, do you want me to come and teach a lesson." ”

"I want them to be rude, the most "polite" people, if they lose their manners, we will not get anything for nothing, and continue to move forward, without doing superfluous things. ”

Lai Hu'er looked at Qin Qiong: "Little Qin Qiong, go ahead, I can't deal with this group of people when I'm old, you go." ”

Qin Qiong was speechless, but walked to the front, and the majestic young general rode a horse to the front.

Cui Chengjun walked out of the crowd alone and arched forward: "Weichen Lu County guards Cui Chengjun, welcome His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Qin Qiong reined in and asked condescendingly: "Cui Taishou, I am His Royal Highness the Prince, the former general Qin Qiong." ”

Cui Chengjun said respectfully: "The original General Qin Qiong, I heard that there were two generals in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, one was Qin Qiong, the other was Laihu'er, the young general, the black-faced King Kong, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its name, General Qin Qiong was already a well-known general in the sea when he was less than twenty years old, and he was disrespectful." ”

Cui Chengjun's words were very full, and Qin Qiong asked: "Cui Taishou, it stands to reason that you should greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the gate of the city, why is it that there is still twenty miles of land from Qufu here, and you are waiting here." ”

"General Qin Qiong, I have always admired His Royal Highness the Prince, and I have never had the opportunity to meet him before, so I specially went out of the city twenty miles to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to show respect."

Qin Qiong rejected his request to meet: "Cui Taishou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has encountered the assassin before, you must have heard of it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a noble status, this trip will never change any itinerary, where to go and where to stop, there are arrangements, will not stop rashly, nor will you travel rashly." ”

In order to avoid the next scene, Cui Chengjun couldn't clean it up, so he had to continue to speak: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once sent Yang Xuangan Yang to our Cui family, and there was a relationship at that time, and I, the Taishou of Lu County, was decided by Lord Yang Xuangan and Jingzhong after that time, so I want to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person." ”

Favors, even if they are not big favors, can sometimes play some roles, Cui Chengjun moved out of Yang Xuangan, not because he was very familiar with Yang Xuangan, but in order to get in touch, he made it clear that he became this Taishou after Yang Xuangan came and Yang Xuangan and Jingzhong recommended him.

What he wants to say is that he is a member of the prince's party, that is, Yang Guang's people.

Qin Qiong really went to report, and after Yang Guang heard it, he said, "In that case, let him come forward to meet." ”

Cui Chengjun came to Yang Guang's frame as he wished, Yang Guang pushed open the door and walked out, and said to Cui Chengjun: "Cui Taishou, you are blocking the lonely road, I don't know what the so-called thing is?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is blessed and safe, it has not been a matter of one or two days for the subordinates to admire His Royal Highness, and when he learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming, he came here early to wait, and His Royal Highness Wanwang is not strange."

"Now that you've seen it, stand down."

Yang Guang didn't plan to delay too much effort here.

"Your Highness, the ministers have something to tell you."

"Say."

"At this time in Qufu City, a bunch of men, women and children want to meet His Royal Highness like ministers, and guards have been arranged on both sides of the main street, but I don't know whether His Royal Highness the Prince likes to be quiet or lively, after all, there are many local elders in the city, and the old people also want to meet His Highness, and the excitement is lively, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness will not like it, and it will delay the trip."

"If Your Highness thinks that these elders are troublesome, the subordinates will order someone to go back and dismiss them all first, so as not to make His Highness unhappy."

Yang Guang understood what Cui Chengjun meant, this was because he was worried about his relationship with the Kong family, but he was a little embarrassed in the face of this group of people of the Kong family.

It's really convenient to not see, but you always have to see it, and at this time, I deliberately dismissed it, but it seems that I don't dare to see people because I have a ghost in my heart.

"It's okay, it's okay to be lively, it's not an important errand this time."

Yang Guang said so himself, and Cui Chengjun nodded and prepared to retreat.

Yang Guang stopped him and said, "Cui Chengjun, Cui's people." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"You're good, Lone remembers you."

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for your kindness."

After a short hiccup, the convoy moved on.

It didn't take long to come to the outside of Qufu City, and Yang Guang saw the appearance of Qufu City through the small window.

The city walls are not high, and there is no way to resist any army pressure, but Qufu generally does not experience any military disasters.

The city gate was wide open to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Dynasty, and Yang Guang's carriage entered Qufu City surrounded by everyone.

The streets were not wide, and they were crowded with people who wanted to see the crown prince of the dynasty.

When the carriage came to the center of the city, several young Confucian scholars suddenly rushed to the high platform and shouted from the side: "Depose the hundred schools and respect Confucianism alone." ”

A group of young Confucian scholars began to shout, and for a moment the streets were filled with this voice.

Cui Chengjun suddenly felt bad, this group of old guys still secretly made some small moves, this is the prince's car chasing you so high is tantamount to demonstrating to the prince.

Hurriedly rode forward and came to Li Qiu's frame, and said in a panic: "Prince, Your Highness, they did this, the minister didn't know, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me." ”

Cui Chengjun, who was flustered, couldn't see the prince's expression, but heard the prince's voice.

The voice was very soft, as if nothing had happened, and said lightly: "Cui Taishou, it's okay, when you get to the place, you can go to the house with me." ”

The shouts of deposing the hundred schools and respecting Confucianism sounded all the way, and the momentum was very strong.

When they arrived at the place where they stayed, Qin Qiong and Lai Hu'er took the guards to search all the surroundings, and after making sure that there was no problem, Yang Guang got out of the carriage and walked inside, Cui Chengjun lowered his head and followed.

At this time, Cui Chengjun was so scared, in his opinion, Yang Guang lost face today, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the current dynasty had to swallow him alive.

Yang Guang summoned Cui Chengjun, and Cui Chengjun knelt down tremblingly when he entered the middle hall.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen is not doing well, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive his sins."

Yang Guang gently blew the tea in the cup, then took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Don't panic, you specially went out of the city today to remind Lone, it was Lone who decided to swagger into the city, it has nothing to do with you, and there is no need to ask for guilt." ”

Cui Chengjun didn't expect Yang Guang to be so easy to discuss, and immediately kowtowed: "The minister is really guilty, I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive me." ”

"Get up, don't kneel, I'm going to ask you something."

Cui Chengjun got up uneasily, and Yang Guang also gave him a seat, which was inconsistent with the outside world's performance, which made Cui Chengjun more and more scared the more he thought about it, but he couldn't do anything else except being afraid, so he had to sit down obediently according to Yang Guang's wishes.

The hall was very quiet, Yang Guang didn't speak, and Cui Chengjun didn't dare to speak, he only felt a huge pressure from the calm Yang Guang, and he didn't dare to gasp.

I don't know how long it took, Yang Guang's voice finally came: "Cui Taishou." ”

"The subordinate is here."

"Don't be nervous, you, as the Taishou of Lujun, just want to ask you, what should you be guilty of if someone blocked the prince's car today?"

Cui Chengjun was shocked, this matter still has to be counted on his head.

"This ...... This...... This ......"

"Cui Taishou is the Taishou of a county, don't you know what the crime is?"

Cui Chengjun had no choice but to say: "Gathering a crowd to make a rebellion is also a crime of exile." ”

Yang Guang nodded: "Well, since Cui Taishou is familiar with the law, and he has heard that Cui Taishou is good at making decisions, the group of people who gathered to make trouble today will be handed over to Cui Taishou for interrogation. ”

Cui Chengjun didn't dare to say more, he felt that although Yang Guang looked peaceful now, he probably should be angry, and if he annoyed Yang Guang, he couldn't eat and walked around.

After Cui Chengjun left, Qin Qiong stepped forward and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, arresting many people today with great fanfare may cause public anger." ”

"The people's anger, not enough food and clothing is the people's anger, this group of rotten Confucians is at most to arouse the anger of the rotten Confucians, before I was still entangled and there seems to be no excuse not to promulgate the holy decree, now it's good, send it to the door, at least the promulgation time of the holy decree is pushed back, if there is really any big movement, maybe it can really end up in a light province."
