Chapter 36
The next morning, leaders of the mountain tribes entered the city one after another. Some tribe leaders participated in the banquet to welcome the imperial envoy yesterday. They knew that the Yisu Ceremony was going to be held today, so they did not leave that night, but stayed nearby. However, there were still a considerable number of small tribe leaders and some village security chiefs Li Zheng who did not have the opportunity to participate in the imperial envoy, and they arrived just today.
The address of the Yi Su Ceremony is located in the county school. The county school teacher Gu Qingge and the instructor Huang Xuan are busy and wandering around. One is responsible for the arrangements within the county school, and the other is responsible for guiding guests at the entrance of the county school. The leaders of the tribes who attended the meeting have different clothes. As for some of the security chiefs wearing Han costumes, they are actually Hu people, but their villages have long been assimilated, and these people are the people who least resist the Yi Su.
As the sun was noon, Hua Qingfeng, Xu Boyi, Wang Zhuanzhu and Ye Xiaotiancai accompanied the two imperial envoys to the county school. Li Xuancheng didn't sleep well last night, and his face looked very haggard. His heart was broken. He tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. When he thought of such a charming and beautiful person, he was possessed by a pile of shit, his heart hurt like a knife.
However, no matter what, after all, they have already had a husband, and Li Xuancheng's hope was completely shattered. Apart from his endless jealousy of Ye Xiaotian, he no longer thinks. People should be persistent, but they should not be paranoid. But the reason is simple, how many people can do it? Li Xuancheng is the kind of person who is easy to remain unmoved, but once they are moved, they can't extricate themselves.
Regarding Ye Xiaotian's statement, he had never thought about exploring the truth. Although he had learned Ye Xiaotian's methods as early as Jinling, he still did not expect Ye Xiaotian to use such fake news that he could use to deceive him. Besides, how could he inquire about his wife, the imperial envoy, and the current national uncle, how did he ask others about his wife?
When Li Xuancheng was in the capital, he was almost buried alive by the memorial to impeach him. When he thinks about it, he still feels scared. This time he served as the imperial envoy, and his entourage was a Wei faction in the court, and without his personal personalities, how could he dare to take a wrong step.
Minister Lin had a good rest. When he arrived at the county school, he saw the leaders of all races gathered together and his spirit was even more energetic. He did not expect Li Guojiu to be so obsessed with "inspecting officials". He just wanted to complete the ceremony of Yiyu as soon as possible and rush back to the capital as soon as possible to seize the position of the chief examiner.
Although the imperial edict had been read yesterday and the two imperial envoys were once again expressed at the reception banquet, on this occasion, Minister Lin still said another remark on behalf of the court, which was nothing more than praising the officials of Hu County headed by Xu County and praising the loyalty of the Hu tribe leaders present to the court.
But today is a formal occasion, and in the county school, Mr. Lin couldn't help but take a hand in hand, with four parallels and six parallels. He used many allusions and his words were simple, and he actually recited them impromptu and spoke in a complete manner. After saying something, even Hua Qingfeng and Xu Boyi felt a little difficult to listen to. Not to mention the Hu leaders below who couldn't even write their own names, they all felt dizzy.
After Mr. Lin finished speaking, the leaders of the Hu tribe who were suffering from mental torture were immediately revived. The destruction was finally over. Everyone immediately responded with warm applause. Mr. Lin was confused and said that these words were very popular with the people. He couldn't help but nod and smiled, feeling very relieved.
Next, it was Xu Boyi's turn to speak. There was no way, who made this matter his first initiative? Hua Qingfeng stood by, his uneasy smile made his face froze. Xu Boyi knew that the leaders present had limited culture and did not speak loudly. Although they spoke plain language, they were not without inspiring power.
When Xu Boyi was speaking, Luo Daheng was whispering to Gao Ya and Li Bohao in the corner. The county school scholars who borrowed today were all seconded to serve as concierge staff, and all three of them were among them. Gao Ya and Li Bohao seemed very impatient with Luo Daheng's earnest advice.
Gao Ya said: "Tycoon, when did you become a traitor? Just say this kind of thing again. Do you need to remind me over and over again?"
The tycoon said: "I can trust you two, but..."
Li Bohao immediately glared at his eyes and said, "What's the point? Can my father believe it?"
The tycoon said: "Don't be like a cockfight. I'm just going to be a father, so I won't quarrel with you."
Li Bohao was even more unhappy: "Are you trying to say that I'm very childish?"
The tycoon was annoyed and asked, "Aren't you childish?"
Li Bohao glared at the eyes, and before he could speak, Luo Daheng took out his ears and said, "You want to duel with me, right? Let's talk about this matter another day! I tell you, you'd better go to your side and stare at me now. There can't be any mistakes in this matter, otherwise..."
At this time, Zhou Bantou rushed in from outside in a hurry. When he arrived at the county school, he saw Ye Xiaotian standing on the stage. Zhou Bantou immediately walked around the front desk and rushed to Ye Xiaotian, whispering a few words. Ye Xiaotian was stunned.
Xu Boyi was still talking, Ye Xiaotian took a deep breath, moved to Hua Qingfeng, and whispered: "Mr. County Master, something happened on the post road."
Hua Qingfeng was absent-mindedly listening to Xu Boyi’s generous speech. When he heard this, he was shocked and quickly gave Ye Xiaotian a wink. The two of them quietly flashed aside. Hua Qingfeng asked anxiously: "Ye Dianshi, what happened on the post road?"
These two days, Hua Qingfeng was busy receiving the imperial envoy and never went to guard the post road. When he heard something happened, he was really a little hurried. Zhou Bantu came over and whispered to report: "Sir, a batch of military supplies sent from the post road early in the morning were robbed by bandits."
Hua Qingfeng was stunned for a moment and said, "This county is only responsible for the smooth passage of the post road. Escorting materials is the military's business, what does it have to do with this county?"
Zhou Banto said helplessly: "Sir, the baggage was robbed in this county. It has nothing to do with the post road, but it has to do with the public security of this county."
Hua Qingfengqi said: "Is it robbed in this county? Since the one-stop thieves were eliminated, at most, there are some thieves with shearing paths in this county. Where can there be a group of thieves who can rob military vehicles?"
Zhou Bantou smiled bitterly and said, "There is no county, but it can come from the neighboring county. Recently, the military supplies and resources on the post road have been continuously sourced, and it is fat. All the bandits and bandits in Guizhou have gathered on this post road. They have committed crimes from south to north. Two days ago, I heard that they are more than 300 miles away. Who would have thought they would appear here so soon."
Hua Qingfeng frowned and said, "Although the thief is going to be suppressed, but how can the thief who can rob materials from the army be easily wiped out? This matter needs to be discussed for a long time. This county is accompanying the imperial envoy, so you can delay them for a while."
Zhou Banto said helplessly: "Sir, in order to shirk responsibility, those military men blamed the issue of the post road in the county, such as the road was difficult to move, the difficulty in deploying defense, and the difficulty in getting rid of bandits. For example, weeds and trees were not removed on both sides of the road, causing thieves to hide, etc., the reasons were made at will, but in short, it was the fault of the county. After their thousands of officials arrived, they blindly favored his subordinates, and the humble position could not handle it!"
Hua Qingfeng stomped his feet and gritted his teeth and said, "When I say something to the two imperial envoys, I will go to the post road with you."
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "Do you need the official to go with you?"
Hua Qingfeng shook his head and said, "No! You are here! There are just a mess on the left and right sides of the post road, and I can't get entangled for a while. Let's go and deal with them perfunctorily. As for this place, I'll ask you."
Ye Xiaotian was a little surprised. With the usual character of magistrate Hua, it is rare to be willing to take responsibility.
Xu Boyi was talking, their whispers were already coming from the corners of his eyes, and a faint sneer appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Hua Qingfeng rushed to the side of Minister Lin and Li Guojiu and bowed: "Two imperial envoys, there are some things on the post road that need to be handled by the officials. Yunnan is in war, and a large amount of military capital passes through the border. The officials dare not delay, so they ask the two imperial envoys to forgive their crimes."
After Xu Boyi finished his speech, he rushed over at the right time. When he heard Hua Qingfeng's words, he said: "The post road is related to military information, and it is important. Changes and customs are related to people's hearts, isn't it important? What's more, the two imperial envoys here, and the county honor is the official seal of a county, so how can we abandon it and ignore it?"
Li Xuancheng was a little displeased when he heard this and said, "What Xu County Chief Xu said is reasonable. My uncle and Minister Lin came from the capital to preside over today's ceremony of the Book of Changes. This shows the importance of the emperor and the court on this matter. You, the official of your parents, are not present, so how can you make such a reason!"
Hua Qingfeng said: "The imperial envoy forgives his crime, but he is not to hide it. On the post road... there is a group of bandits wandering around the post road, plaguing the local area and robbing military supplies. The subordinates must deal with it."
Xu Boyi said sarcastically: "Oh? It is related to public security, that's what Ye Dianshi is responsible for? Just let Ye Dianshi handle it. An old saying goes: 'If you do your own things, you cannot appoint talent; if you cannot appoint talent, you will disperse all the talents.' You can't do everything yourself."
Minister Lin frowned secretly. He didn't like Xu Boyi's tone. He was so arrogant before he was above his old boss. No matter what grudges the two had, he shouldn't be so obvious in front of others. Such people have seen too much in his career. Even if they are smart and capable, they will not be able to become great with this kind of mind and demeanor.
Mr. Lin coughed and said, "Since it is related to military information, it cannot be ignored. County Magistrate Hua, go!"
Hua Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "Thank you, Lord Qin, please leave!"
Hua Qingfeng bet deeply at Ye Xiaotian, Ye Xiaotian nodded slightly, and Hua Qingfeng led Zhou Bantou to turn away.
Xu Boyi failed to transfer Ye Xiaotian away, which surprised him a little. With his understanding of Hua Qingfeng, the county magistrate should not be so responsible. However..., even if Ye Xiaotian stayed, there would be no big problem, so he would have been on guard against Ye Xiaotian.
He was defeated by Ye Xiaotian for a while. It would be a pleasure to watch Ye Xiaotian defeat with his own eyes. Xu Boyi smiled slightly and said, "Two imperial envoys, let's start now!"
: It’s Monday, I’ll ask you for a recommendation vote and persevere in asking for monthly votes!
