0979 Patrol the Closed Country
Located in a manor at the source of the water, it is the place where the Huainan Wang Yijia stays today.
"According to the current speed, we will arrive at Luodu tomorrow afternoon. After passing Luodu, Shouchun is already in sight, there are many Tunbao garrisons along the way, and the food and drink can be used nearby. If there is no wind and rain, you can reach Shouchun within two or three days. And the governor has returned to the town, and he will greet the king under the city. β
In the hall, Diao Yuan, the princess's family minister who was sent by Shen Zhezi to lead King Huainan and his entourage, carefully answered the questions of the officials accompanying King Huainan, and there was no lack of anger in his heart.
Although he is just a retainer of the princess's mansion, but in Huainan, few people dare to be rude to him. But now, because King Huainan and his subordinates were dissatisfied with the neglect they encountered along the way, many grievances were vented on him, and he didn't even have a seat in this hall.
What the Metropolitan Governor's mind was, Diao Yuan didn't know very well, so he could only secretly sigh that he was unlucky to take on this drudgery. At the moment, even if he encounters any difficulties, he does not dare to change color and fight, after all, the subordinates of the Huainan Royal Mansion are highly matched, and it is not something that he, a retainer of the Princess Mansion, can compete with.
The king of Huainan marched north this time, in addition to Yu Baoyi and the guards along the way, Sima Xi, the king of Wuling of Liang County, sent 500 armor soldiers to escort him. Although Shen Zhezi did not attach great importance to this matter, he could not completely ignore it, and sent Diao Yuan and his protΓ©gΓ© Chen Jia to lead two hundred knights as guides.
In addition, there are still a number of subordinate officials of the Huainan Palace. At that time, everyone knew that the king of Huainan had always been valued by the queen mother, so the specifications of the opening of the mansion were also extremely high, which was directly compared to Sima Chong, the king of the East China Sea who inherited the heir of the Yue Mansion.
The one who served as the long history of the king of Huainan was the former minister of Emperor Yuan, Donglai Liu Yin, and the rest of the subordinate officials such as Sima, Gong Cao, the main book, and engaged in it were also excellent choices for the current Junyan, such as Zhuge Hui's son Zhuge Yong, Cai Mo's son Cai Xi, Yu Bing's son Yu Xi, He Chong's heir He Fang, Lu Wan's son Lu Na and Peiguo Liu Yi, etc., all of which were out of the north and south.
It can also be seen that the queen mother has deep hopes for this young son, and it can be said that she is the most noble and important person in the current palace. This time, the king of Huainan went north, and most of them also followed the north, only a few people such as Liu Yi were really not interested in Huainan and were too lazy to accompany him.
These Huainan royal officials either have deep qualifications themselves, or their parents have high positions, or they have a good reputation when they are young, so they naturally will not take Diao Yuan, a mere princess and retainer, in their eyes.
Although Diao Yuan's attitude was still respectful, the meaning of his words did not reveal that the Governor's Mansion had arrangements for official receptions, and the fact that they were left out in the cold could not be concealed at all.
"The king's words this time to the north may stop at the private affairs of the portal, but if it is general, it is not a reward for the toiling soldiers on the front line, so as to show that the king's grace has lived up to his high achievements. We also know that the border affairs have not yet been decided, and because of this, we do not want to interfere too much in military affairs on the grounds of personal interests. But the king of Huainan came in person, why didn't the sages in the countryside come to visit him for a long time? Such neglect of etiquette and religion inevitably makes people wonder whether the king's order is carried out in Huainan, and it has been passed down in previous years, and it is a bit true or false! β
Everyone in the banquet was either self-contained or self-contained, and was silent for a while. But Zhuge couldn't bear it, he had a close relationship with the king of Huainan, which was unusual, and naturally he regarded himself as the spokesman of the king of Huainan. King Huainan suffered such contempt, and it was inconvenient for him to express his position, but Zhuge Ying couldn't sit idly by, so as soon as Diao Yuan finished speaking, he immediately said unhappily.
Now, halfway through the trip, their group no longer expects the Huainan Governor's Mansion to change their attitude, especially no longer expecting Shen Weizhou to come out to greet them. But if they arrive in Shouchun like this, then not only will the prestige of King Huainan not exist, but even their accompanying subordinate officials will become a joke.
Shen Wei and Zhou are on the one hand, and they are the ones who are selected by the high school of the times to be used as the subordinates of the king of Huainan, and it is also difficult to escape the blame for watching the king of Huainan suffer such humiliation. Even if the current of the times does not praise and disappoint, if the Queen Mother is dissatisfied with it, their political future will be half bleak.
So at this point, it is not only a matter of the prestige treatment of the King of Huainan, but also closely related to their future. Previously, he also hoped to stay in Huainan with the help of the momentum of King Huainan and become an important candidate for Taichung's balance Fang Bo. It now appears that even the goal of preserving basic decency is in jeopardy.
After fully comprehending Shen Weizhou's dominance, Zhuge and the others didn't dare to expect more, even if the Huainan Governor's Mansion did not have an official reception, at least those local township sect masters should be allowed to come to meet the king of Huainan, right?
As Zhuge said, King Zong crossed the river and came to the nominal feudal country, but he was treated so coldly, so is this Huainan ordered by the king to rule the land, or is it his Shen family's private residence?
Hearing Zhuge Yu's soft and hard words, Diao Yuan smiled bitterly, not knowing how to respond. He is not a highly talented person, and the only person he praises is to be obedient, otherwise he would not have only served as a family minister in the princess's mansion for so many years. You must know that even his earlier colleague Ren Qiu was used by Shen Si Air Conditioner to work in Taiwan because of his long-sleeved dancing.
Hearing Zhuge say this, the other people were also a little impatient, and they all opened their mouths to reprimand Diao Yuan, express their inner dissatisfaction, or use this to ask for more things. Huainan despised them so much, they naturally had to make a mess of it.
Because of the absence of King Huainan, Donglai Liu Yin sat at the top of the hall. He is now over fifty years old, and in terms of qualifications, even if he is more than enough to serve as Uncle Fang, now he is only the head of the Huainan King's subordinates, which is indeed a bit condescending.
But it is precisely because of this that he has a little more experience than these young people in the banquet, and he knows that no matter how difficult he is, it will not help the retainers of this district at all, but he is just angry.
So he rarely expressed his stance along the way, and now that he is approaching Shouchun, seeing that the situation is still not turning around, he waited until everyone vented before he said to Diao Yuan: "I waited for this time to travel north with the king, and it is not useful in itself, but I am just impressed by the great achievements of Liang Gong, and I want to see the majestic posture of the king master." By the way, if Liang Gong is useful, he will not hesitate to pick up a little help. β
"I am not a bad visitor, and I don't dare to harm official business because of my private behavior. Since the town is now busy, it is inconvenient to rush into the town to disturb it, so he can take this opportunity to accompany the king to the countryside and inspect the affairs of the feudal state. When Liang Gong has time to take the time, he will see each other in Shouchun. β
When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up. Yes, since Huainan didn't want to see their visit, why did they rush forward to be slapped in the face.
Since there was no official edict on this trip, they were treated so indifferently by Huainan, but because of this, their itinerary also had room for free play, since the Governor's Mansion was not welcome, then they simply did not go. At that time, a group of nearly 1,000 people will swagger around Shouchun City to see who will be in a hurry first.
After reacting to this section, everyone echoed what Liu Yin said, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that after all, Jiang was still old and spicy, and they were only obsessed with positive negotiations before, but they didn't expect to bypass the front and break through from the side. Liu Yin, as an old minister of the three dynasties, is indeed extraordinary, and with a slight turn, he turned the passive situation into an active one.
In this way, it is no longer them who are trapped. Even if the Huainan Governor's Mansion can't put on a matching ceremonial scene, they won't bow their heads, and they want Shen Weizhou to feel the feeling of being persecuted!
Diao Yuan didn't have the urgency to respond, and he was so squeezed by Liu Yin and the others, he didn't know how to respond, but he just nodded and said that he would tell the governor as soon as possible, and then hurriedly left to report to the town.
"This old slave is in a panic, it's really a gimmick!"
After Diao Yuan left, Yu Xi, who was also sitting in the seat, sneered and said, unabashedly contemptuous. In fact, several of his cousins are all working in Huainan, so there is no need to be so stiff with the Governor's Mansion, but unfortunately, his father Yu Bing has suppressed the Shen family for a long time, and they have been idle for many years, and it is not until recent years that the Queen Mother has thought of her family and friendship, and it has gradually improved.
Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Yu Xi naturally lacked a good impression of Shen Weizhou, especially now that he had a weak reputation among his own children, he felt that Shen Weizhou deliberately embarrassed him. Otherwise, even if it is not as good as the eldest son of the uncle, Yu Bin, he should be able to be equal to Yu Manzhi. But now even Yu Tiao's son, Yu Yi, is more well-known than him.
"After all, it is Liu Gongmiao's argument, so it depends on how Shen Weizhou ends!"
Zhuge Wei also snorted, planning to take this opportunity to embarrass Shen Weizhou, after all, he was too responsible for his responsibility, so he was also under pressure all the way.
Hearing the frequent praise and praise of these young people, Liu Yin just smiled faintly, and he didn't feel how proud, what was stumped at the moment was just a retainer under Shen Weizhou's command, which was really not worth being happy about.
As for the happy appearance of these young people, he felt quite bored, and even faintly ashamed that he was still mixed with such characters at this age.
Not to mention what these Huainan royal officials planned, after Diao Yuan withdrew, he sent people to change horses quickly, and galloped north, and when he arrived in Shouchun, it was already late at night.
At this moment, Shen Zhezi has not rested, and is discussing with his subordinates about holding a banquet to receive Jiangdong guests and asking for material aid later.
After the messenger arrived at the governor's palace, he was led directly to the council chamber, and after listening to his narration, the faces of several people present inevitably changed, and they all felt that the matter had become a little tricky. The king of Huainan alone 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, I don't know what kind of variables would be born.
After listening to this, Shen Zhezi only felt annoyed, and after a little muttering, he asked, "How many subordinates are Huainan Wang Yi's drivers?" β
"Yu Bao, Ban Jian, Hu Servants, Subordinate Subordinates, etc., a total of 1,600 people, etc."
The messenger replied.
"Then let it wander, the king of Huainan patrols the feudal country, it is reasonable, if it is stopped, it will be overstepped. However, the Governor's Mansion was not edicted, and he did not dare to secretly form a mansion with things, and ordered the surrounding areas to not be allowed to grain rice! β
Shen Zhezi said in a deep voice, he dared to threaten him with this, he really didn't know who was in charge in Huainan.
"I'm afraid that something is wrong, in public and private, the king of Huainan ...... after all"
When Yu Bin heard that Shen Zhezi was still so tough, he was a little unbearable for a while, and he didn't want to see his in-laws become enemies, so he said: "The king of Huainan himself is quiet and elegant, he shouldn't think like this, even if he does something bad, or the group is pandering. It is up to me to pay a visit and state to the king of Huainan that he is busy, and the king of Huainan should understand. β
"In this way, it will be troublesome to Dao'an."
In fact, if there are not too many external factors, Shen Zhezi has no prejudice against the King of Huainan, and when he heard that Yu Bin was willing to come forward to make peace, he nodded and agreed, and said: "If the King of Huainan goes north, there will naturally be arrangements for food along the way." If you change careers elsewhere, you will follow my orders and never embezzle public funds for reception! β
