In the early morning of the second day, Duan Fei left Xi'an, the people of Xi'an City poured out of the city, sent each other along the street, Duan Fei and Qian Rujing's boots were taken away by the people, saying that they wanted to build a temple to worship, Duan Fei and Qian Rujing received countless umbrellas for the people, and some people were even more excited to block the city gate to prevent the two Qincha from leaving, the scene was even grander than when they rushed to the customs that day.

Duan Fei led the guard of honor to leave Xi'an under the weeping of all the people, and this scene left a deep memory in everyone's hearts.

Even Qian Rujing sighed incomparably, but Duan Fei was not very happy, he still had some nostalgia for last night's incident in his heart, because he disappeared after leaving Qincha Xingyuan, Duan Fei secretly sent many people to look everywhere but couldn't find her, could it be that she was really caught by Shao Jiayu who was watching on the side? This speculation was like a dark cloud, weighing heavily on Duan Fei's heart.

Everyone saw that he was not in high spirits, and there was nothing to say all the way, so the Qincha team returned along the same road, first went to Huayue Temple to worship the god Yue and make a vow, and then crossed the Yellow River to Taiyuan.

In Taiyuan Mansion, the Qincha team was warmly welcomed by the local officials and squires, and unlike the last time they went around the city, this time Duan flew into Taiyuan and planned to stay here for one night.

He and Qian Rujing met with officials in Shanxi Province and expressed their appreciation for everyone's efforts in dealing with the sudden epidemic, but Duan Fei's voice changed and he named several people, all of whom were corrupt and perverted the law.

When Duan Fei ordered the Taiyuan Wei to command Sheng Yingji, Gan Huiquan, the political envoy of Shanxi, bowed to Duan Fei and said: "My lord, the former Taiyuan Wei commander Sheng Yingqi has moved to the Liangguang Governor's Mansion to serve as the governor of Tongzhi. ”

Duan Fei sighed and said: "He is going fast, forget it, since he has gone to Liangguang, this official has to impeach him after returning to Beijing, who is the new commander of Taiyuan Wei?" ”

Gan Huiquan replied: "My lord, the new commander of Taiyuan Wei is named Zhang Yin, whose ancestral home is Shanxi, and he is a distant relative of the local Zhang family, and Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, personally recommended him to the emperor. ”

Duan Fei nodded and said: "No matter who recommended it, it is good to protect the country and the people, he is from Shanxi, and he must be more attentive in fulfilling his duties......

Duan Fei told Shanxi to strengthen supervision and management, and never allow the Demon Sect to develop and spread within its jurisdiction, and at the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the pox epidemic, strictly prevent the recurrence of the ashes, and pay more attention to urging the people to plant cowpox, which is a long-term strategy to eliminate acne.

Qian Rujing is more concerned about the people's livelihood and governance policies, the two Qincha took turns to fight, said that it took more than an hour to finish, Shanxi officials had already set a banquet, the two Qincha happily entered the table, and everyone joined hands to rejoice, dispelling the concerns in the hearts of many people.

After staying only one night in Taiyuan, Duan Fei waited for the next day to continue his journey and return to the capital.

It's already the middle of May, and the weather is already a little hot, Duan Fei took off his Qincha robe and only wore a short jacket, which was comfortable, but it looked like a little chivalrous man who had just left the school and entered the rivers and lakes, where did he look like Lord Qincha?

Everyone was completely speechless about him, and Duan Fei didn't care, anyway, the intelligence said that Zhengde would not go out to greet him in person, and Duan Fei also planned to go home to bathe and change clothes for a rest meeting, and then go to the leopard room to find Zhengdeli.

However, he didn't expect that outside the long pavilion that was still ten miles away from Yongding Gate, a Xuanhuang Tianzi dragon flag was flying high, Zhengde was covered in golden armor, and he was energetically riding on the black Saiwai horse 'Black Whirlwind', behind him were hundreds of civil and military officials and 5,000 royal forest troops, as well as countless people, that scene was really a wonder.

Duan Fei was shocked when he saw the flag, and it was too late to change his clothes, so he had to slap his horse forward, and came to Zhengde to dismount and salute: "Your Majesty, Weichen Duan Fei has lived up to the emperor's order, and has successfully eliminated the pox epidemic. ”

Zhengde turned over and dismounted, grabbed Duan Fei's arms, pulled him up from the ground, and said with tears in his eyes: "Duan Aiqing, you have worked hard!" ”

Duan Fei replied: "The ministers are not bitter, it is the people who are suffering, and the ministers implore the emperor to reduce or exempt Shaanxi's taxes this year, so that the people can recover." ”

Zhengde agreed without hesitation: "I'm right!" Fei Hong, Zhang Rui, have you all heard? The decree was issued to reduce Shaanxi's taxes this year. ”

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" The people in the distance cheered, Zhengde smiled and touched Duan Fei's head, and pinched his shoulder, Duan Fei was inexplicable, but Zhengde smiled: "Duan Aiqing, I heard that you have become a bull demon king after planting cowpox, and you have horns on your head and hooves on your shoulders, why didn't I touch it?" ”

Duan Fei said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, Weichen has already sharpened the horns, and the cow's hooves have also been cut off by Weichen painfully, so of course the emperor can't touch it." ”

Zhengde laughed and said: "What a general with horns, Duan Aiqing, I will make you the Golden Bull General, Zhang Aiqing, you go back to the Ministry of Engineering and ask someone to design a set of armor with horns, I will give it to Duan Fei, so that others can be as his name!" ”

Duan Fei didn't think that he would have such a result if he made a joke, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Wechen is not used to wearing such heavy armor, you see, Wechen returned to Beijing, and it was so hot that he didn't even wear a robe, if you reward Weichen with a set of armor, won't Wechen be bent over?" ”

Zhengde said with a smile: "No wonder you wear this strange clothes to return to Beijing, be careful that others want to join you again, how can I change my golden mouth and jade words, so let's do it, if you go to the battlefield in the future, you must wear a full set, go to the court...... Just put on your horn helmet, and I'll be able to find you at any time, and ......."

Zhengde couldn't help laughing, he didn't continue to say what it was, Zhang Yue suggested: "Your Majesty, Lord Duan went to the disaster relief to successfully complete the task, and the emperor will definitely praise him, since Lord Duan is already a Golden Bull General, it is better to change the name of Jinyiwei to Golden Bull Guard, and each person will be rewarded with a horn helmet, which is worthy of the name, and it will definitely be more majestic." ”

This guy obviously didn't have a good heart, if Jinyiwei really changed to Taurus, it would be strange if it didn't become a joke in the future.

Duan Fei was about to refuse, but Zhengde said happily: "Good suggestion, Duan Aiqing, these five thousand loyal and brave soldiers who went to Shaanxi with you will be used as your personal guards in the future, and I will give it the name Jinniuwei, what do you think?" In the future, the Han general will also be included in the Golden Bull Guard, and the Golden Bull costume will be given by the Emperor, which must be extraordinarily powerful! ”

Duan Fei breathed a sigh of relief, if it was just his own personal guard called the Golden Bull Guard, it wouldn't hurt, not to mention that even the Han generals standing in the hall would be included in the Golden Bull Guard, in the future, only the emperor and the Jinyi Guard would command the envoys to have countless Golden Bull Guards standing behind them, which was a supreme honor.

Zhang Zilin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, objected: "Your Majesty, now that the treasury is tight, if you change equipment collectively, it will cause a lot of waste, please take back your life." ”

Zhengde frowned, the sea has already been opened for trade, and the treasury is still so empty? When he was thinking about it, Guo Zhen spoke, and he sighed: "The people brought to Shaanxi by General Han and Lord Duan are no more than 10,000 at most, can we not even afford this?" Your Majesty, the matter of the Taurus Guard's armor is wrapped up in the old slave. ”

Zhengde said: "Then it is decided!" Duan Aiqing, I will call you General Taurus from now on, haha......"

Duan Fei smiled bitterly: "Weichen thanks the emperor for his favor, but ...... Only 3,000 Jinyi guards were brought to Shaanxi by Weichen, and the remaining 2,000 were people from the Shenji Battalion, besides, ...... According to the rules of the imperial court, the number of personal guards under command shall not exceed 500, and the emperor gave me 5,000 personal guards, is it too much? ”

Zhengde smiled: "Not much, not much, even the Han generals have more than 10,000, but they are not your personal guards, but I am just temporarily borrowing you to take care of them, hehe, I heard that your musket team is more powerful than the Shenji Battalion, in this case, I will hand over the Shenji Battalion to you, is there any problem?" ”

Duan Fei hesitated in his heart, wouldn't this be even more jealous? However, none of the civil and military officials and Zhang Rui or others objected, and Duan Fei couldn't find an excuse to dispel the emperor's interest, so he had to grit his teeth and admit: "Weichen obeys the order!" ”
