My princess grows into gl

It was already at the gate of the palace that Yi Yi rested, and Chen Hai was like an ant on a hot pot, extremely impatient, the envoy couldn't stand it any longer, so he comforted him: "Instead of worrying here, Mr. Chen, it's better to get your head straight. I will report to the prime minister in a while."

Chen Hai patted his forehead and said: "Master Special Envoy doesn't know, it's hard to explain this matter clearly!"

"Master Chen has been at the border for a long time, hasn't he dealt with the prime minister?"

"I vaguely met once this summer."

The special envoy said: "That's it. The prime minister is a wise woman, so naturally she will not be easily confused by appearances. Mr. Chen only manages the matter from beginning to end, and tells the truth. The prime minister has his own judgment. Isn't it better than your lord here?" Is it better to worry about it?"

When Chen Hai heard it, his heart froze, and he suddenly realized, "It's the truth, it's the truth!" After finishing speaking, he called his followers to prepare paper and pens: "I tell you to memorize, and you can't miss a single word." .”

The entourage hurriedly chose a relatively flat stone beside him, spread out the rice paper, dipped the pen in the ink, and when Chen Hai said something, he wrote a sentence like flying, and occasionally Chen Hai stopped to think carefully, so he could rest for a while.

When the last word was completed, the attendant put down the pen, blown away the ink on the paper, and then picked it up to read with Chen Hai. Chen Hai himself went through it carefully, and said: "Very good." At this time, someone came out of the palace and sent them in. The special envoy responded, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "Master Chen, it is inconvenient for me to accompany you on this next trip, please." .”

Chen Haidao: "It's time to work."

Leaving the entourage behind, he followed the palace people through the palace ban, entered the palace, and walked all the way to Chaoyang Palace without saying a word.

At this time, the first seat in the Chaoyang Hall was empty, the second seat on the left was occupied by Prince Shang Ti, the second seat on the right was Lin Zhiluo, and the people from the cabinet and the Third Division were lined up in the next steps.

Chen Hai cleared his throat, took out his posture, entered Chaoyang Hall, stopped about three steps away from the steps, and saluted to the top: "Ganzhou Inspector Chen Hai has seen His Royal Highness, the Prime Minister."

After the ceremony, he looked around and nodded again: "My lords."

Lin Zhiluo glanced at the crown prince, and the crown prince hurriedly said: "Chen Yincha made a long journey to Beijing, it's hard work."

Chen Haidao: "It is my duty to rush to Beijing to report on my work under the order of Prince Jun."

The prince stopped talking and looked at Lin Zhiluo. Lin Zhiluo frowned imperceptibly, but he still said: "Chen Ancha must have known the reason for entering Beijing this time. I don't know how Chen Ancha should explain it. All ears are respectful."

Chen Hai hurriedly said: "Yes, Your Highness, let me know." He took out the four folded paper from his sleeve and handed it to the servant standing below: "I have written the whole story on the paper, Your Highness and the Prime Minister please read it carefully."

The prince said: "Submit it."

The palace man took it, held it in both hands, walked up the stairs slowly, and handed it over to the prince's personal attendant, who took it and looked at the prince, the prince said: "Master Prime Minister?"

Lin Zhiluo: "..." Prince, you are so simple and cute, how could you be a student of someone like Shangguan Jing'an?

The servant had already come to her, but Lin Zhiluo was helpless, so he took it, unfolded it for a closer look, the furrow between his brows became deeper as he looked down, after a long time, after about a stick of incense, he folded a piece in half and gave it to her The waiter said, "The prince will also take a look."

The crown prince took it as he said, but Lin Zhiluo ignored him, and asked Chen Hai who was standing below: "According to what you said in the paper, the Ganzhou government has not issued an order to violently expel the refugees?"

"Exactly." Chen Hai squeezed sweat in his palms.

"So according to Master Chen, the governor of Shandong lied in the report?"

"The lower officials don't know why the governor of Shandong lied about the report, but the lower officials have never heard that the government has issued an order to violently expel the refugees."

"Where there is no wind, there are no waves, and there is no wind without holes. Think about it carefully." Lin Zhiluo said: "Mr. Chen has been an official in Ganzhou for several years, and his blood and sweat have been sprinkled on the border of Ganzhou. I believe in Mr. Chen's character. Now His Royal Highness The people from the Santai Division are all there, Master Chen might as well go into more detail."

Hearing the words, Chen Hai settled down a lot in his heart. After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly remembered an incident a few days ago. He didn't read the official documents at that time carefully. He thought it was just a trivial matter, so he didn't take it to heart. But something was wrong, just about to speak, he raised his eyes to see the cabinet and the three divisions that were being circulated, and swallowed the words in his throat, saying: "Those few days are busy, I can't think of more details. of."

Lin Zhiluo raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, the prince wanted to ask again, so he heard Lin Zhiluo say: "Forget it, send someone to Shandong to investigate. This matter is of great importance, so there should be no delay." After that, he went to call the prince again: "Your Highness , Mr. Chen has traveled far and hard, why not let him have breakfast in the palace?"

The prince didn't have any objections, so he ordered Chen Hai to have dinner.The people in the cabinet and the three departments were all puzzled, since the relationship was so important, why did they let Chen Hai go so easily, and stopped interrogating him?

The head of the cabinet said suspiciously: "Prime Minister, look at this Chen Hai..."

"The truth of this matter has its own plans, you don't need to worry about it, just do your own thing." Lin Zhiluo still had a calm expression on his face: "Go back."

Those people looked at each other in blank dismay, and had no choice but to retreat as ordered.

The author has something to say: There is a typo in the previous part. The chief envoy's surname is Han, Han Li, not Chen. Of course, it has no effect on the full text.

☆、Chapter Twenty

After everyone retreated, Lin Zhiluo said to the prince who was also puzzled: "Zhiluo is also a little hungry, I wonder if the prince would like to keep the breakfast?"

Shang Ti was still a little confused, not knowing what her plan was, so he followed her and said, "Guzheng has this intention."

So he walked to the side hall together with Lin Zhiluo and a group of servants, asking along the way: "What does the Prime Minister mean by this? Just look at what Chen Hai said, there are many inaccuracies."

Lin Zhiluo asked back: "Where does the prince think that the details are not complete?"

"Just looking at the writing on that paper, they are all evasive words, and there is no detailed description of the refugees."

Lin Zhiluo smiled and said: "Prince Huiyan, that's true." After a pause, she continued: "However, Zhiluo believes in Mr. Chen's character, so he no longer pursues doubts."

Shang Ti was a little speechless to her explanation, always felt that the reason why Lin Zhiluo didn't ask any more questions was actually another reason, so he choked for a long while, so he had to ask: "How does the prime minister plan to solve this matter?"

"Comfort the refugees first, and wait for the disaster to pass." Lin Zhiluo replied lightly.

"Since it's so simple, wouldn't the Prime Minister pay so much attention to it before?"

Lin Zhiluo pondered for a moment, looking at Shang Ti with unclear meaning: "I'm not afraid of the seriousness of the matter, I'm just afraid that it's unclear and out of control. Does His Royal Highness understand this truth?"

Shang Ti seemed to be thinking about her words, and before he knew it, the two had arrived at the door of the side hall, Lin Zhiluo asked: "Your Highness, do you want to come together?"

Shang Ti was startled, raised his head, saw that the sky was getting brighter, and said: "No, I'm not hungry, so I'll go back to the East Palace first, the Prime Minister will take it slow."

It stands to reason that the empress is not there, and the crown prince is the heir apparent, so the food minister should be there too. Although Lin Zhiluo is a frequent visitor to the palace and the crown prince's cousin, he is also a foreign minister, so the crown prince's move is quite rude.Lin Zhiluo was stunned for a moment, then looked at Shang Ti, Shang Ti seemed to be aware of the inappropriateness of his words, and quickly added: "The Taifu assigned daily homework before leaving, so I dare not delay."

Lin Zhiluo couldn't say anything more, so he said, "Your Highness should study hard and study hard."

After the two exchanged a few words, Shang Ti took his leave and left. Lin Zhiluo looked at his hurried back, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, he stood there thinking for a moment, then turned and entered the side hall.

Chen Hai had been waiting inside for a long time, when he saw her coming in, he quickly stood up from the stool and saluted: "Prime Minister."

"Master Chen, you don't need to be too polite." Lin Zhiluo glanced at the untouched food on the table: "Is it not to your liking?"

Chen Hai hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, it's not. I didn't explain this clearly, and I can't handle it."

"It's a good thing if you can't eat enough, at least you know that you feel ashamed." Lin Zhiluo sat down and pushed back the others: "You are the inspector of Ganzhou, and you can't even manage the state affairs. Don't you feel ashamed of being promoted by the court."

"Yes, the prime minister has taught you the lesson, and the subordinate officials have neglected their duties."

Lin Zhiluo didn't talk to him in an official tone, and said directly: "There is no one else here except you and me, so you may as well speak up if you have something to say."

Chen Hai licked his dry lips, and then said in a low voice: "Just now, the prime minister reminded me that the officer remembered something. It was an official document from the military camp, saying that there was a problem with Xiongchuguan's defense change, and I suspected that there were spies. If you sneak in, you will investigate the people in the city."

"Has it been verified?"

"It's an official document sent by General Bai himself. Without verification, the subordinate officials directly handed it over to the governor."

"The change of defense is such a big matter, why are you hiding it and not reporting it?" Lin Zhiluo frowned, and asked in a stern tone: "Is Ganzhou still the imperial court's Ganzhou?"

Chen Hai rubbed his hands together, with a shame on his face: "Yes, the lower officials have neglected their duties. It's just that the prime minister doesn't know that Ganzhou is the rear defense of the border. On the surface, the three of us are the leaders. In fact, General Bai is the leader in many things. The subordinate officials dare not exceed their powers without orders."

"Confused!" Lin Zhiluo scolded him: "You were also a lieutenant general in the army, why have you been in the officialdom system for a long time, and you can't even tell the seriousness!"

Chen Hai blushed and couldn't speak, Lin Zhiluo said again: "Bai Xiang is a military general, and the government office is a civil servant, and each of them performs his own duties. It's good for you. The majestic governor of a state is headed by a military general. Isn't that true?" Are you messing around?!" She exhaled, and asked in a calm tone, "Afterwards, Zhou Hongkuang followed the official documents?"

Chen Hai hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth under Lin Zhiluo's scrutinizing gaze, and said: "Although General Bai submitted the official document, I have already waited for the approval to be completed. So the matter of exile should be caused by the mistake of General Bai's subordinates." He knelt down in front of Lin Zhiluo, bowed his head and said, "I'm guilty of a crime, and I've failed the court's long grace. I dare not take up the post of inspector in Ganzhou. I'm willing to return my official seal and wait to be punished!"

Lin Zhiluo was silent for a while, feeling unspeakable in his heart, and sighed: "Master Chen, Mr. Chen, before his father passed away, he mentioned you to him many times, saying that Mr. Chen is upright, loyal and patriotic, and he is willing to do practical things." Yes, it is a blessing to have you in Ganzhou, now that the officialdom has been ups and downs, you have also learned the tricks of Beijing officials?"

Chen Hai was taken aback for a moment, he had been honored by the old man for his life, but when the old man left, he was at the border, and he didn't have time to return to Beijing to express his condolences, so he was very ashamed, and he also respected Lin Zhiluo a lot, now he heard Lin Zhiluo couldn't help but sigh when he talked about the old Prime Minister, his face was flushed red: "Chen Hai is ashamed of being valued by the old Prime Minister. This official is sincerely taking the blame, not trying to get him, the prime minister is clearly aware."

As a general, Bai Xiang shouldn't be ignorant of the court's policies and taboos. If he stipulated a little bit, how could the group of soldiers under him beat people to death without knowing the severity?Besides, the change of defense is a major matter. Although he has the right to make a judgment first, he should report it to the court. Why hasn't he seen a report yet?Lin Zhiluo felt that this matter was complicated. It would be impossible for Chen Hai to resign and leave, and it would involve General Huben. The prime minister, it is even more difficult to question the general directly, and said: "I don't mean to blame Mr. Chen too much. This matter is quite complicated. We will make a decision after the queen enters the fasting and exits. Mr. Chen has not been in Beijing for a long time. It's almost deserted, Master Chen has already been cleaned up, all the furniture and things are ready, it seems that the Chinese New Year is about to come, Master Chen will stay in Beijing, and see the New Year's atmosphere in Beijing Son, there is no need to think about walking around with the old man, just fill your stomach and nourish your energy at this moment."

Chen Hai thanked him, but because of Lin Zhiluo's presence, he reluctantly fed a few mouthfuls of porridge, and then left. Lin Zhiluo knew that he didn't have much appetite, so he didn't force him anymore, and it was getting late , thinking that Shang Qingye must have woken up, so he asked the palace staff to clean up, sent him out to the gate of the palace and got into a carriage, then turned back to the palace, and found the queen's personal lady to ask the queen's whereabouts, the lady faltered Refusing to answer, Lin Zhiluo was tortured by her and had no choice but to say: "Such a big incident has happened in Beijing, and you are still hesitating to cover it up and not report it. Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"

When the female official was pressed by her, she panicked and beat her hands and said: "Prime Minister, you can't tell where His Majesty is if you press your slaves like this, how dare your slaves ask!"

"Is there anything unusual about the queen before she left?"

The female officer thought for a long time before saying: "No, since His Majesty left, His Majesty often looks at one place in a daze, as if he is not in good spirits."

Lin Zhiluo frowned, said nothing, and told her not to tell anyone about the Queen's absence from the palace, and then went back to the palace.Shang Qingye had already washed and dressed, and was sitting obediently on the threshold of the front hall, waiting for her to come back for breakfast.

So a group of people accompanied her and stood behind her to escort her. Only when she heard footsteps at the door, she stood up and ran towards the door. Lin Zhiluo stopped, and watched helplessly. The chubby little girl led more than 100 people from the whole house and ran towards her rumblingly, and shouted with a bunch of chant: "Princess, please slow down!" "Princess, be careful!"

Immediately, he froze on the spot, subconsciously caught Shang Qingye, and asked, "What are you guys playing?"

Shang Qingye was also confused, followed her to look around, and replied: "It's nothing to play, they have to follow me."

Qing Ye came over, sent everyone away, and smiled helplessly: "If the son-in-law isn't coming back, everyone in the mansion can't do anything."

"kindness?"

"When the princess catches people, she asks when you will come back. She has asked everyone in the mansion more than a dozen times. There is no other way. I have to wait here with the princess."

Shang Qingye pursed his lips and stamped his feet to tear off the corner of Qingye's clothes: "No!"

Lin Zhiluo couldn't laugh or cry, he looked down at Shang Qingye whose face was buried on her waist: "If you want to see me, why don't you come to me directly, isn't it cold to sit on the threshold?"

Shang Qingye shook his head vigorously, and after shaking for a long time, he muttered: "It's not cold."

It was Qing Ye who explained for her: "Princess sees that the son-in-law is busy with political affairs these days, and is not in a good mood. I don't want to disturb the son-in-law's business, so I don't want the servant girl to send someone to disturb you."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiluo didn't know what to say for a while, pursed his lips, pushed Shang Qingye's little head away, squatted down, took Shang Qingye's hands, put them to his mouth and breathed out: "Look, It's so cold, isn't it cold?"

"No." Shang Qingye stared at her lips, and said obediently: "I've covered them with my sleeves for a long time. Prince, your mouth looks good."

Lin Zhiluo stopped breathing, and when he raised his eyes, he felt unnaturally stared at by her naked eyes, and felt his lips dry, so he let go of her and said, "What are you thinking?"

Shang Qingye didn't understand what was wrong with her, and his expression was quite innocent: "I miss you."

"..." Well, she was thinking too much, but Lin Zhiluo unnaturally thought about what happened after returning from Liu's mansion that day, so she felt guilty and changed the subject: "Haven't you eaten yet? Let's go, let's eat together, early in the morning, you can't be hungry."

When Shang Qingye heard the meal, he touched his already hungry stomach, and opened his hands: "My son-in-law, give me a hug!"

Thick snow covers the border, and the general returns after a hundred battles.

The soldiers and armor are cold, but the imperial court is wide-eyed.

Bai Xiang is also considered to be an old military general. After Shangguan Fei Bai died in battle, the imperial court temporarily transferred an old general who was ready to return to his hometown for retirement for half a year. Because of his health, the old general couldn't stand the environment at the border, so he made repeated mistakes several times. Asked to disarm and return to the fields, the court had no choice but to transfer Bai Xiang from the Suwei camp to take over.

Bai Xiang was originally the chief of the Suzhou Suwei Battalion, in charge of the local military affairs in Suzhou. Because of an emergency at the border, he dispatched a team of 3000 elite cavalry from the Suwei battalions of various states to assist the border. The extraordinary achievement bought precious time for the army to repel the enemy's invasion. The old general admired him, and at the same time he sent out a good report, he wrote a booklet and handed it to the capital. Wizards, military skills, strategy, and formation are all outstanding, and they are not at all like generals who have lived in Qingping for a long time. They patted their chests and recommended Bai Xiang to take over the position of Xiongchu Guan. The queen was still young at that time, and the court After careful consideration and various inspections, it was decided to adopt the old general's suggestion. He appointed Baixiang as the general of Xiongchu Pass, led 30 guards in the pass, and awarded the title of General Huben.

Since Bai Xiang garrisoned the border, the border has been cleared since then, and the enemy country has settled down a lot. After reading the scriptures, the imperial court believed that the two parties were fighting to hurt their vitality, so they reprimanded each other, asked the old minister, and decided to divide Xiongchuguan and Ganzhou into two areas, no longer under the jurisdiction of one body, Xiongchu If people in the customs want to act in Ganzhou, they need to obtain official documents or approvals. Only in this way can they solve a hidden danger, but it can also be seen that the court attaches great importance to Bai Xiang.

Shangguan Jing'an was invited to Xiongchuguan to discuss some state affairs. When she arrived at the big tent of the military camp at Xiongchuguan, she found that there was no one there. A sergeant was pulled out to ask General Bai where he was going. The sergeant glanced at her up and down, and said with disdain: "The general is busy with affairs, and it is you who can see it? I have seen people like you a lot!"

Shangguan Jing'an is the one who is aggrieved, she has always been the only one who choked others, how could anyone else choke her?He replied to him on the spot: "What's wrong with a person like me? No matter how hard I am, I'm still a human being. You dog looks down on people, how dare you look down on me?"

The sergeant was a rough man, and she was about to throw her out immediately after she said that. Shangguan Jing'an quickly took two steps back and pulled a safe distance: "What's the matter, is that what your general taught you? I'll look at you With this body, the official rank should not be low. Why do you always think about fighting? You fight like this. If you disagree, you draw your sword? I am a guest invited by your general."

The sergeant looked at her carefully again, and he didn't speak as harshly as before, but he still said: "Do you know where this is? Our general is in charge of so many people, and he is busy. You are on your own." Wait in the tent for a while."

"Speaking of which, it's not a problem. I gave General Bai face, and I came all the way here. The customs here are no better than those inside the customs. The wild wind is blowing, and you didn't even mention a brazier in your tent. , then make me a cup of tea anyway? Who do you want to freeze to death?"

The sergeant already looked impatient: "No, I want to drink water, I want a brazier, I need to find something to cook by myself, I still have something to do!"

After saying that, the sergeant left in a hurry, and Shangguan Jingan took a step to the left to avoid being bumped by him, with a puzzled look on his face, she is here as a guest, and she is here to be wronged?In the past, I only heard about how the frontier soldiers had their noses turned upside down, but today I understood it, and it was too cold outside, so I entered the big tent again, wandered around inside for several times, Bai Xiang was still nowhere to be seen, she was so bored , then looked around the picture on the big table for a long time, and finally fell on a piece of paper the size of a fingernail at the foot of the table. A bit of red seems to be the color of the seal.

She knelt down and picked up the scrap of paper, cleaned it up, and it revealed the shape of a small half of a seal. After carefully identifying it for a long time, she couldn't recognize the scrap of which character it was. Fold it up and throw it on the ground.

After waiting for so long, she always felt something was wrong, just at this time there was a sound of armor outside the tent, she lifted the tent and went out to have a look, Huo!Good guy!A pair of soldiers were lined up and ready to go, and the sergeant standing on the high platform in front of her was the sergeant who choked her before. She looked around carefully, and there were two sergeants squatting and chatting leisurely in the distance. In the posture of going to war, he pulled a small soldier at the end who was standing solemnly waiting to hold his halberd, and asked with a sharp head: "Why did you General Bai go? Which alley did you go to meet him? I haven't seen anyone for a long time." You must be drunk and gentle!"

The little soldier was fooled by her: "What kind of lover? General Bai went to the government office at noon today."

"What?" Shangguan Jing'an asked repeatedly: "You General Bai went to the government office at noon today? Didn't you come back?"

"Yes."

What a Bai Xiang, how dare he play tricks on her!Shangguan Jing'an took a deep breath: "What are you doing?"

"The general is also in charge of government affairs in Ganzhou, and sent us to defend." The soldier replied, and then he realized: "Who are you? Why are you looking for our general?"

Shangguan Jing'an was stunned, she didn't have time to answer his question, she snatched the horse from the side and galloped in the direction of the Ganzhou government office, the cold wind cut her face like a knife, ignoring it.

This Bai Xiang, taking advantage of the suspension of the governor of the state, deliberately dismissed her and transferred the army to the state privately. What was he trying to do?And it's nothing more than a transfer of troops, but they even want to replace Ganzhou's defensive guards. If Bai Xiang turns his back on him, the loss will not be as simple as a Xiongchu Pass. Once Ganzhou is broken, the enemy will attack the capital like a broken bamboo Shangguan Jing'an, who had always had nothing to do with herself, also began to faintly feel that the Great Shang Dynasty, which had been in peace for too long, seemed to have a hint of agitation.

When she rushed to the Ganzhou government office, the small officials and officials who used to go around were no longer seen inside and outside the government office. They were all soldiers patrolling back and forth. Shangguan Jing'an reined in his horse, and before it stopped, he got off his horse and ran towards the government office, but was stopped by soldiers at the gate, Shangguan Jing'an directly pulled away the spear in front of him, and reprimanded them: "I am the government official. You are the overlords of the Xiongchu Pass, and when you arrive in Ganzhou, you should be the warriors of the Great Shang Dynasty! Back off!"

The two soldiers were stupefied by her training. They heard that she was the new person in charge of the government office. They looked at each other, put away their weapons and retreated. One of them kindly reminded: "General Bai is getting angry inside. , be careful, my lord."

Shangguan Jing'an didn't even have time to take a look at him, so she rushed in. She didn't stop the momentum until she reached the entrance of the hall, took a deep breath, straightened her messy hair, and stepped in.

The scene inside is not in a mess, not the place, but the people.On weekdays, the official airs are full, the majestic governor Zhou Hongkuang, and the chief envoy Han Li who doesn't give her a good look are standing in the middle with his head drooping timidly, and the brand-new official uniform is stained with water stains and two pieces of tea leaves , Bai Xiang sat on the head with a big horse and a golden sword, his face was serious, and he didn't get up when he saw her coming in, he just said: "Shangguan, please sit down."

Is Shangguan Jing'an a good friend?He didn't pick up his faults at all, and walked around to Zhou Hongkuang and Han Li, pretending to be surprised: "Hey, aren't these two officers? What are they doing?" He tugged at the collars of their official uniforms: "This It’s okay for ordinary people to drink tea, but clothes also learn to drink tea?”

The two were embarrassed, but they took a sneak peek at Bai Xiang behind Shangguan Jing'an, and Shangguan Jing'an turned around to face Bai Xiang, with a bright smile on his face: "It's hard for General Bai to invite me to Discussing matters, speaking of General Bai’s military power in his hands, how can I be a small councilor to speak about this government office matter? The capital is also the same, General Bai’s military exploits are outstanding, why not just hand over Ganzhou to General Bai In his hands, he has to play formalism, and let the subordinate officials go to the big tent of the Xiongchuguan military camp for nothing, and eat so much sand, do you think this is the reason, General Bai?"

Bai Xiang didn't know what he was thinking, after being dismissed by her like this, his eyes were heavy, but he suddenly smiled and said, "What's the matter with Shangguan's consultation, he is a military general, and he is not familiar with state affairs, and he still needs Shangguan Please give me more assistance. As for the matter of inviting you to the big tent in the military camp, it was indeed my mistake, I didn’t expect to delay here for so long, and neglect the Shangguan’s consultation.”

"Should be, should be." Shangguan Jing'an was relieved when he answered his mouth, and glanced sideways at Zhou and Han: "General Bai, this is..."

"Oh, this is the first time I will take over, and I will hand over to the two adults." Bai Xiang's smile seemed to be squeezed out of his cheeks, and he turned to Zhou and Han: "Thank you two adults for your cooperation and advice. I'm tired, go back and rest earlier."

According to the law of the great merchants, General Huben took the title of the second rank, and the governor also took the title of the second rank, but the two quickly bowed and left, no matter how they looked at it, it was not a ceremony of equal rank, and Shangguan Jing'an became more suspicious. At this moment, Bai Xiang said: "This general is usually in charge of military affairs, but I really can't manage the government affairs and people's livelihood. What good opinion does the Shangguan have?"

"The lower official is just a counselor, and he has only been in Ganzhou for a short time. The general just needs to maintain the status quo." Shangguan Jingan sat down on her own, saw Bai Xiang's slightly frowned brows, and smiled indifferently: "It's just a lower official. If there is something unclear, I would like to ask the general.”

"Oh, what can trouble the clever Shangguan Taifu?"

Shangguan Jing'an heard the sarcasm in his words, but pretended not to hear: "Your official heard that the general intends to replace and clean the guard camp in Ganzhou, but the general wants to use the government office as his own?"

☆, 22

"I heard that the general intends to replace and clean the guard camp in Ganzhou. I don't know if the general wants to use the government office as his own?"

Shangguan Jing'an seemed to be smiling sincerely, but in fact she was secretly vigilant and provoked him with words.The expression on Bai Xiang's face was as calm as ever, but his eyes were poking at her like needles: "The guard camp in Ganzhou has been soaked in alcohol and sex all year round, and they have lost their fighting power long ago in this city of Ganzhou. As the backbone defense of Ganzhou."

"However, I have been in Ganzhou for a long time, and there has never been such a situation in the Suwei camp as the general said. The commander Fang of the Suwei camp is also quite popular in the local area. What's more, although the general's soldiers are strictly disciplined, they are also bloody. Those who fight out of the fire are really good as a defense army, but when it comes to criminal laws and people's livelihood, it is killing pigs with a knife in the moonlight, and it is too much."

Bai Xiang was unmoved: "Shangguan Taifu also said that he is a newcomer and doesn't know much about the situation in Ganzhou. Since the imperial court asked you to assist this general, you only need to do your job well on weekdays. The rest, Don't bother asking."

"The general's words are reasonable, but you are a local general, and the next official is the Taifu who was relegated from the capital. It is more like an assistant than a supervisor, right? What's the matter, general, you want to monopolize the government affairs of Ganzhou and establish your own government. country?" Shangguan Jing'an sneered: "Speaking of this, Xiaguan remembers the rebel who was personally beheaded by General Shangguan Feibai when the late Emperor was here. It's ridiculous to be arrogant and occupy a state capital and make yourself king."

"Hehe." Bai Xiang twitched the corners of his mouth, not knowing whether it was a sneer or something: "I have heard about the person Shangguan Taifu said, and he is indeed a stupid person. Since Shangguan Taifu insists, then according to your opinion , what should I do?"

It was his words that Shangguan Jing'an was waiting for, and immediately continued: "If the officer asks the general to withdraw the troops who have already dispatched, it is obviously impossible." She raised her eyebrows, and saw a sneer flashing across Bai Xiang's face, His gaze sank a bit, and he said calmly: "Why not, it's an honor for the lower officer to serve as the general's assistant, so the external defense is under the general's control, and the internal defense is under the jurisdiction of the lower officer and the guard battalion."

To put it bluntly, Ganzhou's external defense is nothing more than Xiongchuguan, and internal defense is the big deal. She basically has Ganzhou in her own hands. Bai Xiang, who was sitting at the top, finally got up, put his hands behind his back, and approached her, with the corners of his lips curled up, a smile that was not a smile: "As expected of Shangguan Taifu, he came down from Beijing, he is really a smart person, but you think this Are you going to be blown stupid by the strong wind at Xiongchu Pass?"

"General, all the people in the guard camp are still there."

"You are just an insignificant councilor now, who will listen to you."

Shangguan Jing'an shook her head, as if sighing at his stupidity: "This official is not talented, and he has a good relationship with the prime minister of the current dynasty. This official is careless, and when he came, he brought nothing but a tiger talisman. Do you want to try it, General?"

Bai Xiang stared at Shangguan Jing'an's face with dark eyes, Shangguan Jing'an let him look at it and accepted it calmly, but said: "Is there something dirty on your face, the general wants to look at me like this? Ah, That's right, Xiaguan is also a rare beauty in the capital, and the general should have lost his mind."

"..."

The expression on Bai Xiang's face froze, his cheeks twitched a few times unnaturally, and after a long while he let out a sharp breath and said, "Okay, okay, I will follow the advice of Shangguan Taifu, if something happens in Ganzhou City in the future The matter should not be counted on the general's head!"

Shangguan Jing'an cupped his hands: "I, Shangguan Jing'an, are not that useless." His eyes swept around the soldiers outside the hall: "General Bai, please."

"Withdraw!" Bai Xiang was never offended by her attitude, instead he snorted, strode out of the hall, waved his hand, and left with his subordinates.

After they left the gate of the government office, Shangguan Jing'an finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Bai Xiang didn't have any disobedience, but she always felt that something was missed, and she couldn't remember it after thinking about it for a long time. He couldn't control that much, and ordered the officials of the government office to restore the old system. After they each figured out their own affairs, they rushed to the Suwei camp stationed in the open space on the left side of the city gate without stopping, and handed over instructions to Commander Fang. Fortunately, Commander Fang It is also under Chasi's subordinates. Although he is a military general, he was a student of the old man in his early years. His thesis and discussion on martial arts are all good. Now that the Shangguan came quietly, he hurried out of the camp to greet him. He listened to his instructions, even more He nodded repeatedly and said: "At noon, I received an official document from the Inspectorate, ordering me to wait on the spot and wait for the people from Xiongchu Pass to take over the patrol. Fang is still wondering, when will Xiongchu Pass be able to control the patrol in the city? Well, it turns out that’s what happened.”

Shangguan Jing'an said: "If there is no written reply from me in the future, don't bother with it. In the past few days, the city has been on high alert to guard against people with evil intentions taking advantage of the chaos to make trouble."

If Bai Xiang is not reconciled, he will randomly send a few young people to stir up trouble in the city, causing some minor incidents, and if one of them fails to deal with it, he will be caught and reported to the capital. I am afraid that half of Ganzhou will If it really fell into Bai Xiang's hands, Commander Fang naturally understood this truth, so he agreed immediately and made arrangements immediately.

Shangguan Jing'an lingered for a while, thinking that there was still a Shang Ying in the mansion, she was not at ease, so she wanted to rush back, and from the corner of the eye, she saw a person peeking through the cracks in the wall, not knowing what he was doing there, and the back was familiar That's right, the man hadn't noticed yet, Shangguan Jing'an went up and kicked him in the buttocks, he was so focused on watching, he couldn't guard his lower body, and threw himself directly into the mud, which made him turn around quickly.

Shangguan Jing'an took a closer look, wasn't this gray-faced and sneaky guy the little official who disturbed her slumber, and said: "Oh, I wonder who is shrinking here and stretching his neck like a bastard? , so it's you? What are you looking at, are you looking at when Bai Xiang's people will replace Suweiying?"

The little official didn't know whether it was nervous or something, so he didn't speak, and waved his hands repeatedly. Shangguan Jing'an leaned against the wall with his arms folded: "This Ganzhou hasn't changed its owner yet, so you're just trying to please the new chief. You're really clever." , or, you..."

She deliberately hesitated for a moment, and she saw the little official explaining with a flustered face: "No, it's not, little... Little one, don't come over here... Come here..." He looked around, and the next words came to a conclusion. Can't get out of the throat.

Shangguan Jing'an saw how funny he looked, so she helped him out: "You came here to find out the situation for me, didn't you?"

The little official was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a flattering smile as if he had suddenly realized, and nodded suddenly: "Ah yes, yes, yes, the little one is right.
