MTL - Peach Blossom-Chapter 55
Ji Wen and others wanted to catch up with the King of Han tonight and get acquainted with each other, so they racked their brains to prepare a banquet in the post.
In the absence of Shangguan's instructions, the postmaster hesitated for a while, thinking to himself, His Highness had been on the road for a day, and the wind and dust were exhausted. The two imperial envoys were afraid that they didn't even think about it, so they sat in one place to eat. Then they sent their meals to the two-person room.
, and sent it to the King of Han's room.
Only words and deeds are made under the spectator hall, whether it is to really despise Lord Ji, or to pretend to be in front of others to show justice and innocence. I think it is a master who pays attention to a decent reputation. I am afraid that he does not like to be too extravagant here, spread it out, and ruin his reputation. So, dinner is better to be simple.
The servant could not understand the intention of the postmaster, and his face was puzzled.
When dinner was delivered, Han Wang just came out of the shower, with a curling mist, his skin was red, and it could be broken by blowing bullets.
She hasn't had a good meal for half a month, and now there is not only A Yao, but also a fragrant meal.
After I was full, I felt sleepy, and my bones were languid, and I lay down in the princess' arms.
The princess took the crown for her, and gently kneaded the acupuncture point on her neck with one hand, just a few times, as if she could feel the blood of the whole body flowing slowly in the blood vessels, comfortable and comfortable. The King of Han changed his posture, his stretched body curled up, and the whole person was nestled in the arms of the princess, like a fluffy kitten curled up in a ball, whispering softly: "I want to hug and sleep."
The corner of the princess's eyes twitched: "Okay, hug and sleep." She stretched out her hand and took Han Wang's shoulder.
Han Wang closed his eyes with satisfaction, and actually fell asleep.
just fine.
The night is getting darker, the king of Han sleeps sweetly in the arms of the princess, Ji Wen and his party will go outside the city of Dongcheng County.
The captain patrolling on the top of the city agreed, and in the darkness, he vaguely saw the silhouettes of several people below the city that seemed to be adults, and quickly leaned out and stretched out his torches to look around.
"Your Majesty is here, why are you dawdling!" The general shouted loudly.
The captain just confirmed that he was busy opening the city gate and welcoming several adults into the city.
Dongcheng Station is 30 miles outside the city, and the imperial envoy cannot handle the case there. Ji Wen and the county governor originally planned to welcome the imperial envoy tonight, have a feast to wash away the dust, enjoy the wine, and after the banquet, rest at the official post for one night, and enter the city with the imperial envoy tomorrow.
In this way, after a dinner, the officials of Dongcheng County, both large and small, got to know each other well before the Han King and Lu Shang wrote, and started the case. , If you live a little mud, the case of the two counties will be over.
Who knows, at the beginning, it hit a hard nail!
Ji Wen tensed his face, went outside the county governor's mansion, and saw two lanterns on the door, and caught a glimpse of the heavy-faced officials behind him, he frowned. You know, people can't be distracted.
Several servants standing at the door stepped forward and took the reins. Ji Wen rolled over and dismounted, and the county governor stepped forward with a frown, and said, "Sir, His Royal Highness the King of Han seems to be quite difficult to approach, how can this be good?"
The imperial envoy must enter the city tomorrow, and entering the city is to investigate the case.
Ji Wen stopped and looked around, everyone looked worried. He said coldly: "What are you afraid of? Now that this is the case, is there any way out?"
Ji Wen raised his eyes and looked at the dark sky. The stars were twinkling in the sky, and there were no clouds in the sky. It must be a hot day with the scorching sun tomorrow.
"His Royal Highness the King of Han did not lie, but he may not have the intention to embarrass me. Don't forget, that Lu Lao Shangshu is not easy to be with."
Everyone was stunned.
How could Ji Wen know, he was also panicked in his heart, with a calm look on his face, calmly caressing his sleeves: "Tai Chang is always His Highness's father-in-law, he is involved, how can His Highness ignore it ? He must be picked cleanly."
However, it is too often involved. If you want to take him out, you have to settle the matter.
This truth is well known. The county governor nodded again and again, Ji Wen raised his eyes, and said lightly: "It's done, either live or die. There is me in your Highness's place, you have to keep your mouth shut."
Ji Wen was satisfied and walked to Fuzhong.
Before leaving the capital, the princess once said that the people of the two counties would have a hard time. She wanted to see it with her own eyes and prepare how to comfort the people, so she abandoned the car and rode.
Dongseong County is mountainous and you can see mountains along the way. The King of Han did not know how to harvest crops, but he brought some of his staff who were quite familiar with farming, and rode with her to explain along the way.
There are farmlands on both sides of the official road, and wheat is planted. Occasionally, farmers can be seen coming with hoes and working in the fields.
The staff is quite happy: "If the crops in a county are growing like this, the people will not worry about going without food this year."
Han Wang frowned, looking a little sad. She understands the truth of seeing is believing, but she believes in the princess more. The princess has a lot of knowledge and is more powerful than everyone. What she said must be right.
The staff saw that the King of Han was not happy but worried, and thought, His Highness became more and more unpredictable. Busy and serious, he served more and more respectfully.
Han Wang did not notice any changes in the staff, she thought hard, if what she saw was fake, how to maintain the illusion?
The wheat seedlings swayed in the wind, and at a glance, there were waves of wheat. It doesn't look fake by any means.
It would be nice to ask Ayao, the king of Han couldn't help looking at the car, and the princess was inside.
I really want A Yao to hug her, but A Yao feels cold, and she will make ice cubes to drive her away from the heat.
But no, the business must not be delayed.
Han Wang lowered his eyebrows with worry, looked at the car reluctantly again, and went to listen to the staff's explanation of the main crops of Dongcheng County.
Ji Wen and others have long been waiting outside the city. The King of Han did not dismount, but went straight to the city.
When I entered the city, Han Wang was even more surprised. I saw pedestrians in the city like weaving, constant exchanges, restaurants and shops, row upon row, a prosperous scene, although far less than the capital, it is also called peaceful and happy.
The people here seem to have never had any injustice, nor have they been exploited and looted, all with a smile on their faces, seeing the county governor, they hurriedly retreated to both sides of the road, and did not show any fear color, very natural.
Han King's brows knitted together, Lu Shangshu also lifted the curtains and looked at it, and his expression was not relaxed.
"Your Highness, the more abnormal it is, the more serious it will be." Lu Shangshu lowered his voice, "Dongcheng is the seat of the county, and it is common sense to be prosperous, but the people who come and go are too calm."
Han Wang blinked, not knowing what the minister said calmly, he wanted to ask. However, Lu Shang's book is strict, and now he is even more awe-inspiring because of the dangerous situation. The King of Han seemed to have met a gentleman who was fierce when he was young, and even the prince dared to reprimand him when he made a mistake.
She didn't dare to ask. With Ayao here, Ayao will teach me, Han Wang thought. Immediately put on a look of understanding, nodded: "Exactly."
Lu Shangshu sighed: "Being an official is not a virtuous person, and the people suffer. I'm afraid I need to stay here for more days."
The king of Han told him to sigh and his heart tightened. When he looked at the people who came and went, he only felt that their smiles were bitter.
Ji Wen originally negotiated with the county governor to recruit a rich businessman's garden for the two imperial envoys to stay.
Arrived at the county government office, it was noon, Ji Wen and others were still trying to be courteous, the King of Han hated them when they saw them. They dangled in front of their eyes, but still repelled them all and went to the house they arranged.
The princess was waiting for her in the room as usual.
There is a big demon as a princess, and her supernatural powers are revealed everywhere. When the King of Han thought that there were so many people here, but none of them could see the princess, only she could see it, and he was very happy, as if it had a special meaning.
She rode a horse all morning, and the scorching sun made her face flush red. Fortunately, she was always healthy and did not show signs of heat stroke.
I told the princess what Lu Shangshu said about her doubts on the road, the princess listened carefully, and explained to the king of Han: "Lu Shangshu said that the people were too calm because they did not look at His Highness, This place is far away from the capital, and it is rare to see nobles. Even if a prince like His Royal Highness does not attract people to greet him, it is rare for people to look around and discuss. The people are so calm, it can be seen that someone has taught them how to behave. "
Han Wang understood: "What I saw in the city today was taught by someone?"
When she was a young student, she had learned the Confucian sayings such as "the most difficult person is the heart of the people", but she never thought that the heart of the people could be taught. A county governor has such ability, and Ji Wen has such courage.
The princess comforted in a warm voice: "Lu Shang is a mature scholar, and he has already seen it. Your Highness can just listen to his advice and act."
Han Wang nodded: "Old Shangshu is very powerful." Although a little fierce, he is very capable. Those who are capable should be treated with respect.
The princess saw that she was sensible, smiled, and said: "The county government has many eyes, and it is not a safe place. Your Highness may wish to replace the servants and officers, just in case something happens."
The king of Han left the capital this time, the emperor specially allocated a thousand feather forests to her and her, plus the five hundred soldiers of the palace, a total of 1,500 elites, guarding one The county government is more than enough.
Han Wang earnestly agreed, she thought for a while, and then said: "The people in the city have been taught, but they won't tell the truth, I want to visit the villages outside the city later, or Counties further afield. They can't cover everything."
to ask.
The princess smiled and said, "It's very good for Your Highness to think so."
Received the compliment, Han Wang curved his lips, very happy, and said, "I have a soldier, so I'm not afraid of them, it's hot outside, Ayao doesn't need to accompany me."
Ayao is a tree. In summer, when the tree is exposed to the sun, the leaves will roll up, and it must be very afraid of heat.
The princess touched the back of her round head, and was about to speak, when Lu Shangshu's eager voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Is Your Highness here? I have something important to discuss with Your Highness!"
