Chapter 419: Going to the Banquet
"What do you mean by this, my lord?" Yan Zhi was very sensitive and immediately asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The king of Yanping County frowned again, and he understood a little why Gan Tang sent this person, this person was probably not popular in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so he deliberately asked him to come over and touch a big nail, and by the way, he drove this person away.
It's so aggressive!
The king of Yanping County didn't wait for Wang Xun to answer, so he rushed to the front, and said warmly: "The emperor's will, this matter will be jointly implemented by us and the Prime Minister's Mansion of Shangshutai, and now the people of Shangshutai have not yet arrived, how to implement it, who to urge first, and then who to urge, and then agree together, now you don't fight, first find out the situation." ”
"Isn't the situation very clear!" Yan Zhi frowned and said, but his expression was not so excited, he picked up the list and asked, "What else do you want to check?"
"Find out their property," said the king of Yanping County: "On this list, some people want to repay the debt, and some people really can't pay it back, just like this, Xin Zheng, a doctor from the Hanlin Academy, as far as I know, his family is very poor, don't look at only six hundred taels of silver, he just can't pay it back, so it can't be generalized." Only by checking all these things can we achieve a targeted goal and get twice the result with half the effort, understand?"
This was reasonable, Yan Zhi was silent, and then he hugged his fists and saluted: "I understand my humble duties." ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the king of Yanping County reassured: "Everyone knows that it is not so easy to recover the arrears of the treasury, so we must fully estimate the difficulties in advance, understand each debtor clearly, and formulate a collection plan." ”
Wang Xun and Yan Zhi promised at the same time, and the king of Yanping County was a little relieved, and then asked Wang Xun how many people were transferred to participate, Wang Xun told him that Cao Li was checking the grain depot and government treasury of the imperial capital to make room for this year's grain, so Cao Nei could not transfer many people for the time being, and he only transferred sixteen people.
"It's just such a few people," the king of Yanping frowned, this number of people is definitely not enough, he thought about it and said to Yan Zhi: "Can you ask the Prime Minister's Mansion to send more people." ”
Yan Zhi thought for a moment and shook his head: "Lord Wang, I think it's best to ask Hu Benwei or internal guards to come forward to help, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”
The king of Yanping County was silent when he heard this, Wang Xun couldn't help but shake his head, this guy was too bold, and he openly proposed to let the internal guard Hu Benwei intervene in this matter, which violated the taboo in the court, especially the internal guard, from the top and bottom of the court, from the vassal king to the minister, are deeply jealous, even if the emperor wants to use the internal guard, he can only do it quietly, how can it be so blatant.
"Lord Wang,..." An official of the Duzhi Cao next to Wang Xun was worried that the king of Yanping County would be tempted, and reminded carefully.
The king of Yanping County shook his head at him slightly, the official immediately closed his mouth, and the king of Yanping County smiled at everyone: "The main forces of the Tiger Benwei and the internal guard are in the Chen State, and the imperial court can't draw many people, but I'll try it and see if I can transfer some people from the forbidden army." ”
Wang Xun quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and had a little confidence in the king of Yanping County, the officials of Duzhi Cao were purged after Tian Ning, and he was transferred not long ago, he thought that Gu Wei would be in charge of Duzhi Cao for a long time, but he didn't expect that Gu Wei didn't stay long before he was transferred and came to the king of Yanping County, this prince is famous for his music and rhythm in the imperial capital, and before he arrived at Duzhi Cao, he has always been the commander of Zongzheng Mansion, and has never done other government affairs, can he control Du Zhicao?
Not only Wang Xun is suspicious, but Du Zhicao is suspicious, but now, Wang Xun has a little confidence.
The more the king of Yanping County thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was too good, Du Zhicao was short of manpower, and he didn't dare to fully believe these people, Prime Minister Gan Tang had a good personal relationship with him, but now he sent a stunned young man, and it seemed that he was not optimistic about this matter.
The king of Yanping County immediately wrote a note, asking the court to provide manpower support, halfway through the writing, he put down the pen again, and slightly condensed the song into a ball, and then sighed long, there are a lot of wastes in this forbidden army, if a few wastes are transferred, it is better not to.
After thinking about it for a long time, the king of Yanping County picked up his pen and wrote a new note, and this time he made it clear that he would send the forbidden army to assist.
“.... The forbidden army shoulders the security of the inner city and the palace, and the strength is weak, but the recovery of the arrears of the treasury is the top priority of the imperial court at present, and the manpower of the Duzhi Cao is insufficient, and the recovery of the arrears, the situation is complicated, so please ask the forbidden army to assist, the minister heard that the forbidden army is Liu Han, the command of the army is well-organized, and the troops of the department are the first-class elite of the forbidden army, and his majesty must transfer the willow department to assist the minister in collecting the arrears...."
Liu Han wants to know, I'm afraid he will be ashamed of himself, gamble with the soldiers, fish for three days and dry nets for two days, and actually become a first-class elite, and he still commands the troops well!!
The king of Yanping knew that his letter would arrive at the emperor's desk tomorrow at the latest, and Shang Shutai did not dare to stop it, let alone drown it, because the recovery of arrears is the top priority now, and it is also the last straw for the imperial court, and no one dares to delay.
In the evening, Liu Han returned to the camp and inspected the barracks again to let the brothers rest well before leaving.
As soon as he got out of the camp gate, he saw the carriage parked on the side of the road, Liu Han went over with a little contemplation, two guards stood next to the car, saw Liu Han pass, the coachman put down the ladder, Liu Han went up, opened the door curtain, and the king of Yanping County sat inside, and the water on the small stove next to him gurgled loudly.
"I'm sure I'm going to drink later, so I won't invite you to drink, I'll invite you to tea. King Yanping scooped a small spoonful of tea leaves from the teapot and put it into the teacup.
Liu Han sat down opposite him, stretched his arms, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Wang, then you're welcome." ”
"When have you been polite to everyone Liu," the king of Yanping County smiled and ordered outside: "Drive, Princess Jingming's mansion." ”
"The princess came to us today, and she sat down and talked about it?" Chu Mingqiu asked.
"Who knows," the king of Yanping said casually, "However, there is something to tell you first." ”
Liu Han was slightly stunned, did not speak, and quietly looked at the king of Yanping County, who looked at it and showed a smile: "Don't be so nervous, in fact,.... , It's very simple, I'm in trouble, the emperor asked me to recover the arrears of the national treasury within three months, 1.2 million taels, I have no one in my hands, I can't believe those officials, so I have to ask the court to let you come and help me. ”
"Let me help you, how can I help you?" Liu Han was very surprised in his heart, and looked at the king of Yanping County in confusion, he couldn't judge the good or bad of this matter for a while. "I am sparse to the emperor, Du Zhicao is short of manpower, besides, this time the arrears are all important ministers and royal clans, the situation is very complicated, so it is best to have the support of the army, otherwise, I really don't know how much I can recover. ”
Liu Han's head suddenly grew big when he heard this, it was actually this kind of thing, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, you are pulling me to jump into the fire pit." ”
The king of Yanping smiled bitterly: "It's a fire pit, but it has to be burned, and I am the first to burn to death, and I will get you in that round." ”
Liu Han nodded approvingly: "This is true, the sky is falling, you tall people can withstand it, if you can't stand it, I will crush you to death first, and then I will get my turn." ”
When the king of Yanping heard this, he was stunned at first, and then pointed at Liu Han and laughed.
The carriage drove out of the inner city, and soon arrived at Princess Jingming's mansion on Yangliu Street, Princess Jingming did not come out to greet her, but the maid in the palace led the two to the back garden, but this time, the backyard was full of fragrance, surrounded by yellow and white pink flowers.
The banquet was still set up along the canal, but there were not as many people as last time, only six, and two of the empty seats were obviously reserved for them.
"Brother Wang, Mr. Liu, it's just in time," Princess Jingming was still sitting on the main seat opposite the canal, and when she saw the two of them coming in, she stood up with joy and saluted the two of them, and the four of them also stood up and saluted the two of them.
From the beginning of getting out of the car, Liu Han was very obedient to let the king of Yanping County walk half a step in front, when the two of them chatted privately in the car, they could be unscrupulous, but in front of the public, he still kept the courtesy; before entering the hospital, he hid behind the king of Yanping County.
The king of Yanping County smiled gently at the four people, Liu Han looked at it, three people knew each other, one person didn't know, sitting in the third place was Xue Mi, and the one who sat in him was the one he saw last time, a Jizhou scholar named Lu Xiu, and his next head was also a scholar named Le Fan who was seen last time, only the middle-aged man who was about thirty years old who sat at the end looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it there, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Liu Han sat down on Xue Yu's head, and after a while, the maid brought wine and food, as before, and everyone had a maid waiting for them.
"These Wang brothers and Mr. Liu all know each other, that one is Mr. Yuan Wang, and he is a hermit. Princess Jingming introduced with a smile, and then turned to the man and said, "Mr. Wang, this is Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu Hanliu, who is famous all over the world and shakes the imperial capital." ”
Wang smiled faintly, and saluted the princess slightly: "Please also let the princess know that the grass people have seen Brother Liu and have drunk and enjoyed ice together." ”
Liu Han remembered it for a moment, and smiled at Yuan Wang: "It turned out to be Brother Yuan, I was in a hurry that day, and there was no news from Mr. I, I don't want to see you here today, I am really lucky, lucky, the little brother borrowed flowers to offer Buddha." ”
Saying that, Liu Han raised the wine glass and saluted Yuan Wang, Yuan Wang smiled slightly and also raised the wine glass in return, both of them drank it in one gulp, and then looked at each other and smiled.
"The gentleman looks much better. Liu Han said, Yuan Wang nodded slightly: "I have been at home for a winter, and it is already well, thank you Brother Liu for your concern." ”
I met Yuan Wang at the beginning of the freezing of the Yellow River, but he left a deep impression, whether it was his flute, or his poems, or conversation, they all left a deep impression, so to speak, back to the Great Jin Dynasty for so long, I have seen so many characters, this Yuan Wang can be ranked in the top five.
"Since Mr. Liu and Mr. Wang have met, there is no need to introduce them. Princess Jingming interrupted the two with a smile: "A few days ago, I got an ancient score, there are some missing on it, and it is easy to repair it. ”
After speaking, without waiting for others to ask, Princess Jingming was about to clap her hands and call the piano.
"Wait!"
Princess Jingming looked at the person who spoke in a little surprise, it was Xue Mi who was sitting under Liu Han.
