0979 Patrol the country
Located in a manor in Hangtai, Tushui Source, it is the place where King Yijia of Huainan stays today.
"According to the speed of downward movement, you can reach Luodu in the afternoon tomorrow. After passing by Luodu, Shouchun is already in sight. There are many trunks and forts along the way, and all the food and food can be used nearby. If there is no wind and rain, you can arrive in Shouchun within two or three days. And the Grand Commander has returned to the town, and you will be welcomed by the king at that time."
In the hall, Diao Yuan, the princess's house minister who was sent by Shen Zhezi to lead the Huainan King and his entourage, carefully answered the questions of the officials accompanying the Huainan King, and felt depressed.
Although he was just a retainer of the Princess's Mansion, few people dared to be rude to him in Huainan. But now, because the officials of the Huainan King and his family were dissatisfied with the neglect they encountered along the way, many resentments were vented on him, and they were in this hall and room without even a seat.
Diao Yuan didn't know what the governor was thinking, so he could only sigh in secret that he was unlucky to take on this quest. Even if he encountered any difficulties, he would not dare to change his color. After all, the subordinates of the Huainan Prince's Mansion were high-level personnel, and it was not something he, a retainer of the Princess Mansion, could compete with.
When the King of Huainan advanced north this time, in addition to Yu Baoyi and the guards along the way, the King of Wuling Sima Xi of Liang County sent 500 soldiers to follow the guards. Although Shen Zhezi did not pay special attention to this matter, he could not completely ignore it and sent Diao Yuan and his disciple Chen Jia to lead 200 knights of the tribes as the guide.
In addition, there were also a group of officials under the Huainan Prince's Mansion. At that time, everyone knew that the Huainan Prince had always been valued by the Empress Dowager, so the standard of opening the mansion was also extremely high, which was directly comparable to the King of Donghai Sima Chong, who inherited the inheritance of the Yue Mansion.
The chief minister of the Huainan King was Liu Yin, the former minister of Emperor Yuan, and the rest were Sima, Gongcao, chief clerk, and other officials. They were also excellent choices for the current handsome men, such as Zhuge Hui's son Zhuge Xian, Cai Mo's son Cai Shi, Yu Bing's son Yu Xi, He Chong's heir He Fang, Lu Wan's son Lu Na and Pei's country Liu Xian, etc., all of which were from the north and south to the north and south.
This also shows that the Empress Dowager has a deep hope for this young son, which can be said to be the most noble and prominent person in the founding of the sect kings. This time, the King of Huainan went north and most of them followed the north. Only Liu Xian and a few others were really not interested in Huainan and were lazy to follow.
These officials of the Huainan kings either have a deep experience, have a high position in their parents, or have a reputation when they are young, so they naturally will not take Diao Yuan, a mere princess's mansion, seriously.
Although Diao Yuan's attitude is quite respectful, the meaning of the words has not yet revealed the arrangements for the Governor's Office to receive an official reception, which cannot cover up the fact that they are neglected.
"This time the king is moving north, he may have to stop talking about private affairs in the door, but in a broad sense, it is not a blessing to the hard-working soldiers on the front line to show that the king has fulfilled his merits. We also know that the border affairs have not yet been decided, so we are unwilling to interfere with military affairs on the grounds of private affairs. However, the king of Huainan came in person, so why did the wise people in the countryside come to pay a long time to pay a visit? Such neglect of ethics will inevitably make people wonder whether the king's orders were in Huainan. In previous years, there were some real or falsehoods!"
Everyone in the banquet was either self-righteous or proud, and silent for a moment. But Zhuge Xian could not bear it. He had a close relationship with the King of Huainan, which was unusual, so he naturally regarded himself as the spokesperson of the King of Huainan. The King of Huainan was so contempt that he could not express his opinion, but Zhuge Xian could not sit idly by, so he immediately said unhappy as soon as Diao Yuan finished speaking.
Now that the trip is over halfway through, they and their group no longer expect the Huainan Governor's Office to change their attitude, especially no longer expect Chen Weizhou to come far away to greet them. But if they arrive in Shouchun like this, not only will the King of Huainan be destined to be majestic, but even the officials who accompany them will become a joke.
Chen Weizhou was domineering on one hand, and as a subordinate of Shiliu Gao, they actually watched Huainan King suffer such humiliation. Even if Shiliu did not praise or criticize, just dissatisfied the Empress Dowager, their political future would be half dim.
So at this point, it is no longer just a matter of the majestic treatment of the King of Huainan, but also closely related to their future. Previously, they might have hoped to stay in Huainan with the momentum of the King of Huainan and become an important candidate for checks and balances Fang Bo in Taichung. Now it seems that even the goal of maintaining basic decency is in danger.
After fully understanding the domineering nature of Chen Weizhou, Zhuge Xian and others dared not expect more. Even if the Huainan Governor's Office did not have an official reception, at least they should allow the local sect masters to come to pay homage to the King of Huainan?
As Zhuge Xian said, the king of the clan came across the river, and his destination was a nominal fiefdom, but he was treated so coldly. So was the king's order to govern the land, or was his Shen family's private residence?
Hearing Zhuge's soft and hard words, Diao Yuan smiled bitterly, not knowing how to respond. He is not talented, and the only thing he praises is to be respectful, otherwise he would not have been a minister in the Princess's Mansion for so many years. You should know that even his colleague Ren Qiu, who was called on Taiwan by Chen Sikong because of his long-term skills.
When everyone else heard Zhuge Xian say this, they were a little unbearable and scolded Diao Yuan to express their inner dissatisfaction, or to use it to ask for more things. Huainan despises them so much, so they naturally have to make a fuss.
Because the King of Huainan was absent, Donglai Liu Yin sat in the hall. He is now over 50 years old. With his qualifications, he is more than enough to serve as Fang Bo. Now he is only the leader of the King of Huainan, and he is indeed a bit in a position to be a leader.
But for this reason, he was more experienced and experienced than the young people in the table. He knew that no matter how embarrassed Diaoyuan was, this mere retainer was useless, but he was just angry.
So he rarely made a statement along the way. Now that it is approaching Shouchun, he saw that the situation still has no chance. After everyone vented, he said to Diao Yuan: "We will not use the imperial edict this time when we follow the king north. We are just moved by Liang Gong's great achievements and want to see the powerful posture of the king. By the way, Liang Gong would not refuse to pick up the secrets of Xiaoshouyi."
"It is not a bad guest who comes to visit, and he dares not harm public affairs because of private activities. Since the town is busy now, it is not convenient to rush to enter the town to disturb you. You can take this opportunity to accompany the king to wander around the countryside and investigate the affairs of the feudal state. When Liang Gong has time to make time, he will meet again in Shouchun."
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up. Yes, since Huainan did not like their visit, why should they rush to come forward and be slapped in the face?
Since there was no formal edict on this trip, they were treated so coldly by Huainan. But because of this, their itinerary also had room for freedom to play. Since the Governor's Office was not welcomed, they would simply not go. At that time, nearly a thousand people would sway around Shouchun City to see who would be anxious first.
After reacting to this section, everyone spoke up to what Liu Yin said, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that Jiang was still old. They had just been obsessed with the frontal negotiations before, but they did not expect to bypass the frontal and break through from the side. As an old minister who has been in the past three dynasties, Liu Yin did have his own extraordinary features. With a slight turn, he turned the passive situation into the initiative.
In this way, they will no longer be trapped. Even if the Huainan Governor's Office cannot show a matching etiquette scene, they will not bow their heads, so that Chen Weizhou will feel the feeling of being forced and embarrassed!
Diao Yuan was not capable of responding to the situation, but was run by Liu Yin and everyone, and he didn't know how to respond. He just nodded and said that he would tell the Grand Commander to tell the Grand Commander as soon as possible, and then hurriedly left and returned to the town to report the news.
"This old slave is so panicked that he is really gimmick!"
After Diao Yuan left, Yu Xi, who was also sitting in the table, sneered and said without any concealment. In fact, his cousins were all working in Huainan, so there was no need to have such a quarrel with the Governor's Office. Unfortunately, his father Yu Bing suppressed the Shen family for a long time and was idle for many years. It was not until in recent years that the Empress Dowager gradually improved as he remembered his friendship.
Under the influence of his eyes, Yu Xi naturally lacked a good impression of Chen Weizhou, especially among his own children, and he felt that Chen Weizhou deliberately made things difficult for him. Otherwise, even if he was not as good as his eldest uncle, Yu Bin, he would have been equal to Yu Man. But now even Yu Ji, the son of Yu Tiao, is even better known than him.
"After all, Liu Gongmiao's opinion is calculated. In this case, it depends on how Chen Weizhou will end!"
Zhuge Xian also snorted, intending to take this opportunity to make things difficult for Chen Weizhou. After all, because he has too much responsibility, he has been under pressure all the way.
When Liu Yin heard these young people praise and praise frequently, he just smiled faintly and didn't feel proud. The only thing that was embarrassed at the moment was Chen Weizhou's subordinates who were not allowed to use their retainers, which was really not worthy of happiness.
As for the appearance of these young people who are happy to show off, he feels more boring, and he even feels more ashamed because he is still mixed with such characters at this age.
Not to mention what these officials from the Huainan King planned, Diao Yuan sent someone to transfer quickly and headed north. When he arrived in Shouchun, it was already late at night.
Shen Zhezi had not yet rested and was discussing with his subordinates about holding a banquet to receive guests from Jiangdong later and asking for help.
After the messenger arrived at the Governor's Office, he was directly led to the meeting hall. After listening to the person's story, the faces of the people present inevitably changed, and they all felt that the matter had become a bit tricky. Just the King of Huainan went north to enter the town, which caused a lot of turmoil in the town. If he did not enter the city and only wandered in the county, he would not know what kind of variables would arise.
After hearing this, Shen Zhezi felt so annoyed that he pondered for a moment and asked, "How many people are the drivers of Huainan King Yi?"
"Yu Bao, Ban Jian, escorts, subordinates, and so on, a total of 1,600 people."
The messenger replied.
"Then let it wander. The King of Huainan inspects the country. It is reasonable. If it is stopped, it will be over. However, the Governor's Office has not received the order and dared not secretly build a sect residence with things and order the surrounding area to refuse to give away a grain of rice!"
Shen Zhezi said in a deep voice, he actually dared to threaten him with this, and he really didn't know who was the one in Huainan to make the decision.
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this. It's public or private. After all, the King of Huainan..."
When Yu Bin heard that Shen Zhezi was still so tough, he felt a little reluctant for a moment and did not want to get married to his relatives. He said, "The King of Huainan is quiet and elegant, and should not think so. Even if he has done something wrong or is urging the people, he might as well let me go and pay a visit to the King of Huainan and tell the King of Huainan that the matter is busy, and the King of Huainan should have understanding."
"In this way, I'll have trouble with Dao'an."
