Chapter 598
,,,,,,,,,,,,
That night, Liu Jing and Sun Shangxiang were full of love, like fish in water, and integrated the long-lost lovesickness into the passion of meeting.
The next morning, before dawn, Liu Jing got up and went to the General's Office. He was about to set off for Hanzhong. This morning he needed to finish all the official duties in his hands, which made him particularly busy and he would rush to the official office before dawn.
Liu Jing walked into the official office, and many officials had arrived at this time. Secretary-General Cui Si came forward to report to Liu Jing: "Qi Bizhou Governor, Xu Changshi sent someone to deliver a letter early in the morning and will be able to return tomorrow."
Xu Shu went to Brazil to inspect the autumn harvest. Because Liu Jing was going to Hanzhong, he sent someone to urge him to come back. Liu Jing nodded, "I understand."
He quickly walked towards the official room and walked a few steps. Liu Jing remembered something again and smiled at Cui Si and said, "Last time you recommended Xun Zhi as the supervisory envoy to me. It's very good. He was called the Iron-Face Duke by the Hanzhong people. He seized the case of collusion between officials and businessmen in Ju County and selling official grain in private. I am going to further promote him."
Cui Si quickly saluted and said, "Thank you for the praise of the provincial governor. Xun Zhi is not only talented, but also upright and upright. As long as he is given a chance, he will not disappoint the provincial governor."
Liu Jing smiled and said, "Young people have a strong spirit and have not yet been infected with the habits of the officialdom. Cui Jun, you should also consider going to the local area to experience it. Always staying in the general's mansion will lose many opportunities."
Cui Si was stunned. He suddenly realized that this was his opportunity and hurriedly said, "Weichen is willing to go to the local area to hone his skills, and beg the governor of the state to give me a chance."
Liu Jing smiled slightly and walked into the official room quickly. Before Cui Si could react from Liu Jing's words, after the vocational examination last year, Xun Zhi and Deng Hong went to the local officials, and he followed Liu Jing after he entered the secretary-general of the General's Office. This made many scholars who entered the officialdom with him envious, and Cui Si was also proud.
However, Xun Zhi's rise deeply stimulated him. Xun Zhi first went to Lingling County. In less than a month, he responded to the call and took the initiative to transfer to Nanguang County, Zhuti County, Nanyizhou as the chief clerk. He taught the Yi people to farm and carry out repairs. He achieved remarkable political achievements. In just one year, he was promoted to county magistrate. Even Liu Jing noticed him and promoted him to Hanzhong Supervision Envoy.
Xun Zhi was selfless in Hanzhong, and even broke the case of corruption in grain, and received praise from the general's mansion. The limelight was far greater than Cui Si, which made Cui Si start to reflect that perhaps the right way to become an official in the local area.
A few days ago, he hesitated to Yin Jing and expressed his intentions to Yin Jing. Today, Liu Jing mentioned this matter. Cui Si immediately realized that it must be Yin Jing's mention of this matter to Liu Jing. His heart was filled with expectations. He couldn't help but feel excited. He jumped high and ran out.
In the afternoon, Jia Xu's carriage slowly stopped at the VIP hotel. A guard opened the car door and helped Jia Xu off the carriage. The chief of the library hurried forward to greet him. Jia Xu laughed and said, "Go and tell Chen Zhongcheng, and then he said that his old friend Jia Xu is here to visit him."
Although Chen Qun was young, he had a long-lasting relationship with Jia Xu and had a good relationship. The chief of the library rushed in to report. After a moment, Chen Qun hurriedly greeted him, walked to the door and bowed and smiled, "Mr. Jia, are you safe?"
"I'm fine, I look good."
The two held hands and laughed, and Chen Qun quickly invited him into the VIP hotel. Jia Xu was naturally entrusted by Liu Jing to come to negotiate with Chen Qun. However, Jia Xu was experienced and experienced. Before the formal negotiations, he would first try his words and test Chen Qun's true intention for this mission.
The two of them came to the inner hall to sit down. Jia Xu looked around and asked with a smile: "Why is Mr. Zhi not here?"
"He didn't know that Mr. Jia would come today, so he took a few followers to visit Qingcheng Mountain early in the morning."
Jia Xu nodded and smiled, "There are many beautiful scenery in Shu. I have been to Bashu for half a year and have only been to a few places. I have not been to Qingcheng Mountain yet. When will I have time? How can we go to Qingcheng Mountain together?"
Chen Qun also stroked his beard and said, "I would like to go with Mr. Jia."
The two looked at each other and laughed again. At this time, Chen Qun pondered for a moment: "At the beginning of the New Year, the Prime Minister mentioned some old ministers while drinking at the banquet, and also mentioned Mr. Jia. Does Mr. Jia know about this?"
Of course, Jia Xu knew Cao Cao’s nostalgia, and mentioned Guo Jia and himself, and he missed him quite much, but Jia Xu understood what Chen Qun meant at this time, and it was nothing more than using feelings to win over himself first, and then slowly talk about the serious matter.
Jia Xu sneered in his heart, but said without a look on his face: "The Prime Minister took me and Fengxiao together, which is to suggest that I should go to meet Fengxiao."
"Mr. Jia misunderstood, and the Prime Minister has no intention of this."
Before Chen Qun could continue to say anything, Jia Xu waved his hand and interrupted him, "Long, it's no point to say these things now. If I still have nostalgia for the past, I won't come today. Let's talk about the important things."
Chen Qun had no choice but to nod, "Since that's the case, I will go straight to the point. This time, Zhigong and I went to Chengdu on the order of the Prime Minister. There are two main things. One is that the Prime Minister agreed to the last time that the governor of the state proposed the Yizhou governor to change his clothes and belts. Out of sincerity, we have brought the heavenly decree and officially appointed General Liu as the governor of Yizhou."
Jia Xu smiled slightly, took out a wooden box from the cloth bag he carried with him, and handed it to Chen Qun, "This is the original robbery. Please bring it to the prime minister. In addition, my family's governor has another saying, we will no longer recognize the robbery."
Chen Qun was overjoyed. What the Prime Minister wanted was the last sentence. As expected, the Prime Minister did not expect, and returning the robbery was to recognize the Prime Minister's legal status. He opened the box and looked at it. He recognized Liu Xie's handwriting at first sight. He smiled happily and said, "In this way, many things will be easier to discuss."
"If that's true, please tell me the second thing."
Chen Qun pondered for a moment and said, "The second thing is about the Han army heading north. The Prime Minister does not want another war like in spring. In other words, the Prime Minister hopes that Liu Zhoumu will stop the northern expedition."
Jia Xu smiled, "Is this sentence not necessarily a little simpler? I can't answer it. I believe the Prime Minister has some follow-up words, so why don't I say it clearly?"
Jia Xu tried his best to get Chen Qun's bottom line without expressing his opinion. Chen Qun had no choice but to continue, "If Liuzhou Mu was willing to agree, then as compensation, the Prime Minister promised to persuade the emperor to confer Liuzhou Mu the King of Han and grant Liuzhou Mu the right to be titled. In addition, the Prime Minister would send troops to assist the Han army in capturing Jiangdong. How could Jia Gong think this condition can be considered?"
Jia Xu smiled and shook his head, "This condition is great, I can't answer for a long time. I must ask the provincial governor to ask for instructions."
"We'll talk tomorrow"
Jia Xu shook his head, "I'm afraid it will take a few days. The provincial governor has already set off for Hanzhong to inspect the autumn harvest at noon. I'm sorry, please wait patiently for a few days."
Chen Qun felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart. No wonder Liu Jing asked Jia Xu to negotiate. His bottom line was revealed, but Jia Xu was not clear and he didn't say anything. He had to delay time. He still couldn't beat Jia He.
However, Chen Qun also realized that Liu Jing's trip to Hanzhong might not have been to inspect the autumn harvest, but to inspect and prepare for the war. It is probably impossible to convince Liu Jing to give up the northern expedition.
...........
Liu Jing did leave Chengdu at noon and head for Hanzhong. Thousands of soldiers guarded Liu Jing and his second wife Sun Shangxiang and drove to Hanzhong in a mighty manner.
This time, Sun Shangxiang followed Liu Jing north to Hanzhong. Although she did not have the amazement of famous mountains and rivers like the last time, she was still very interested. Although she sailed thousands of miles to Jiangdong and enjoyed the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River, she never had much interest. The key was that she did not follow her husband and did not accompany her. It was like there was no salt in the dishes, and no matter how exquisite the dishes were, they were tasteless.
As long as she is by Liu Jing's side, even though she retraces the old path of Hanzhong, she doesn't feel bored. As soon as she comes up, she tells Liu Jing about her interesting story about her return to Jiangdong. "I don't know who revealed that I want to go back to Jiangdong. As a result, my boat arrived at Jingkou, the husband guessed what happened. It's really touching. Tens of thousands of people came to the dock to greet me on their own. There are so many people. When I got off the boat, tens of thousands of people cheered, and I was crying at that time."
"What are they cheering?" Liu Jing asked with a smile as he rode on the horse.
"What else can I cheer? I'll cheer for long live the princess. If I could live ten thousand live, wouldn't I become the queen?" Sun Shangxiang laughed out loud. She remembered that many soldiers shouted long live the provincial governor, so wouldn't this husband become that...
Liu Jing glanced at her and asked strangely: "Why are you laughing at?"
"nothing"
Sun Shangxiang held back her smile, took Liu Jing's arm, and said softly: "I know that it is because I married you that the people of Jiangdong think that I am enduring humiliation and bullying for Jiangdong. Therefore, when I come back, they will run to the dock to welcome me like they welcome their daughter back to their parents' home."
Liu Jing was immediately angry, "What do you think you are bullied by me?"
Sun Shangxiang looked around and saw that the personal soldiers were tactfully far away from them and could not understand their conversation. Several female guards were several feet away. Sun Shangxiang bit her lip and whispered: "You bad guy, didn't you bully someone overnight last night?"
Liu Jing's heart was shaking and couldn't help laughing: "That's not called being bullied, I'll continue tonight."
Sun Shangxiang pinched him and said shyly: "You can't say anything more."
Liu Jing scratched his head and smiled, "Mom reminded me that I will be stationed early tonight. There is Jianmen Pass in front. After passing Jianmen Pass, I will not be able to find the camping place."
"After leaving for the past few days, I'm almost exhausted and I'm going to have a break tonight."
Sun Shangxiang smiled and said, "Let's agree first, we will sleep in our own tents tonight. You are not allowed to harass my dreams. If you dare to come secretly, be careful that I will kill you as a thief and use it to kill you."
Even though he said that, when Liu Jing was about to send an order, Sun Shangxiang grabbed him and whispered: "If you dare not come, I will kill you with one sword."
Liu Jing laughed loudly and clasped his fists and said, "Zu Ling, mom."
Liu Jing rode away from the horse, and Sun Shangxiang looked at him and couldn't help but smugly to himself: "Whoever says political marriage means misfortune, this girl is not."
