Chapter 48, Yuezhou Mansion

After breakfast the next day, Ji Xuan took Guo Dongming and Zheng Tai to bid farewell to Xue Chen, Chen Qi and Ding Muxi, and then went directly to the Yuezhou Mansion.

When Ji Xuan came to the door of the palace with people, the door of the palace was still closed, and a guard officer was about to knock on the door when he saw this.

Guo Dongming stopped this person, then walked straight to the drumstick, picked up the drumstick, and beat it hard and quickly, and a rapid drum sound suddenly spread all over the radius.

"Looking for death, I came to beat the drum so early, and my grandfather's dreams were disturbed, and I knocked so quickly, the dead people in the family ......"

After Guo Dongming knocked dozens of times in a row, a voice came out of the door, followed by the sound of the door opening. The door was opened a crack, and a servant scolded without raising his head with sleepy eyes.

When Guo Dongming heard his voice, he put down his drumstick and came to the gate to wait for him to open the door. As soon as the man opened the door, Guo Dongming lifted his foot and kicked him back into the courtyard.

"Ah~ you fuck, you dare to kick Lao Tzu, see if Lao Tzu doesn't kill you, I ......"

The official scolded and stood up from the ground, but when he saw Ji Xuan enter the courtyard under the escort of many heavily armed guards dressed in software, he was immediately stunned, and even stopped his half-drawn waist knife, and the whole person looked like a sculpture.

Guo Dongming looked at him coldly, "Go and call your prefect out." ”

The official was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said to Guo Dongming, "What did you say?"

"I said call your bullshit prefect quickly!" Guo Dongming said, snatching the half-drawn knife from his hand, pulling out the scabbard, and then flicking it casually, the knife flew towards the pillar of the lobby and plunged deep into it.

The servant trembled with fright, spread his legs and ran to the backyard. Since he was in a panic and ran to the back, he didn't even bother to look at the road, and when he ran to the turn of the cloister, he collided with a man.

"You rabbit cub, the fire is burning, I don't see Lao Tzu......" The man who was hit scolded as he spoke

"I'm sorry, Master Li, the little one has something important to tell the Lord Fu, and I bumped into you in a panic ......"

"What's the matter, who is the drummer?"

The official didn't dare to speak, and glanced at Master Li. Master Li is also a smart person, knowing that this person must be strange in a panic, he poked his head out of the corner slightly, and saw the guards all over the courtyard, he knew that it was not good, and immediately pulled the man to turn around and walk back.

"You immediately go out from the side door to the Xiangyun Inn, and let the officials who came to attend today's meeting rush to the government office immediately, and I will go to tell you, go quickly!"

After Master Li finished speaking, he pushed the official again, and the official saw that the master looked solemn, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he ran away in a hurry.

"This master came without saying a word......

Ji Xuan sat in the lobby of the mansion, Guo Dongming stood on the right, Zheng Tai stood on the left, and the accompanying guards stood on both sides of the courtyard road with weapons in hand.

About half a pillar of incense, the prefect of Yuezhou ran into the hall in a panic, knelt in the middle of the hall with a plop, and then bowed deeply, "Zhang Ping, the prefect of Yuezhou, see His Royal Highness the King of Qi, please forgive His Royal Highness for the crime of not welcoming the minister." ”

Ji Xuan said, "Get up." ”

"Your Highness Xie!" Zhang Ping finished thanking, stood up, and bowed to the side.

Ji Xuan waited for him to stand up, looked at him and said, "Three days ago, I told you in the post house that I would hold a disaster relief meeting in your government today, and asked you to summon the main officials of the counties to participate, I don't know if you can summon it." ”

When Zhang Ping heard this, he replied: "It has been assembled." ”

Ji Xuan said: "Do you remember what time I said that day?"

Zhang Ping was startled, sweat was already on his forehead, Ji Xuan's sudden arrival had scared him a lot, and he asked the time of the meeting at this time, but he didn't remember.

"The minister remembers that His Highness said that day. Zhang Ping thought about it and felt that this time was the most appropriate, it was too early, and a prince like Ji Xuan was at most having breakfast at this time.

Ji Xuan said: "It seems that Master Zhang's memory is not very good, you don't fully remember what I said that day." ”

When Zhang Ping heard this, he knelt down in a hurry, kowtowed and said: "Please atone for your sins, the minister did not intentionally forget the things assigned by His Highness, but it was the first time he met His Highness that day, and the minister was a little frightened, and only remembered that he wanted to convene the county officials to come to the government for a meeting today, but he forgot the time of the beginning, and the minister had already sent someone to call." ”

Ji Xuan said: "Master Zhang is too nervous, I didn't say that I would punish your crimes, get up." ”

"Your Highness Xie forgiveness!" Zhang Ping knocked again, and then stood up.

As soon as Zhang Ping stood up, with a noisy sound, more than a dozen people wearing official uniforms appeared at the gate of the palace, but before these people could approach the gate of the palace, they were stopped by the guards outside.

"Let them in!" Guo Dongming shouted.

Hearing Guo Dongming's voice, the guards immediately let him go.

When these chief officials of various counties heard that Ji Xuan had arrived at the inn, they were already frightened, and they came to the gate of the mansion in a panic, and they were stopped by the armed and mighty guards, and they were even more frightened in their hearts.

When the prince summoned him personally, but they were late, "Who the hell is this news about, can it be reliable?"

While scolding secretly, these people trotted into the hall in great horror, and then they didn't dare to stand on the stage, and they all knelt down, "Wait for the ministers to meet His Royal Highness the King of Qi!"

Ji Xuan looked at these people, all of them panting, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please get up." ”

When everyone stood up, Ji Xuan said with a smile: "It's really that this king came too suddenly, which disturbed all of you, and this king apologized to you." ”

The dozen or so people who had just stood up immediately knelt down and kowtowed again when they heard this, "Please atone for your sins, Your Highness!"

Wei Wudao: "If you want to punish the crime, you can't cure your crime, it is me who gives the order, and it is Lord Zhang who conveys the order, so it is the two of us who are guilty, you get up." ”

When the dozen or so people heard this, they were about to get up, Zhang Ping took a stride and knelt down for the third time.

Zhang bowed and said: "Your Highness is not guilty, this crime is the minister's, it is the minister's negligence, and he failed to do the things that His Highness explained, please punish Your Highness." ”

Ji Xuan said: "Lord Zhang is so sincere and takes the blame, this king is not good to go unpunished in front of your subordinates, so let's do it, the thing we are discussing today is disaster relief, then Lord Zhang will make more efforts for disaster relief, you are the parent official of Yuezhou, so that the people of Yuezhou can feel your love for them......"

"The minister is willing to give a hundred taels of silver......

Ji Xuan smiled and said, "One hundred taels? Isn't Lord Zhang too stingy? Lord Li Zhi, the prefect of Yunzhou, must know about it." I heard that someone took tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets from his secret room, and that's not all, you are both prefects, and I don't think you will be worse than him. ”

Zhang Ping's face was pale, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat again, "The minister can't compare to Lord Li, that Yunzhou is a rich place, presumably Lord Li has more ways to make money, this Yuezhou itself is poor, and the minister is always self-disciplined, and his sleeves are clean, so he really doesn't have so much money." ”

Ji Xuan said: "It's not as good as Li Zhixing, and Master Zhang won't be worse there, so let's do it, you pay 10,000 taels, and it is also an example for these officials below you." ”

"This ......" Zhang Ping looked embarrassed, but he saw Ji Xuan staring straight at him, revealing irresistible majesty, and immediately said, "The minister obeys the order." ”

Ji Xuan praised: "This is the model of the officials in Yuezhou, you all get up." ”

When everyone stood up, Ji Xuan said: "Lord Wu of Ningyuan County, Lord Zhao of Dongping County are here!"
