Chapter 390 Appointments

A gathering of many civil and military personnel came to an end in a hurry.

The civil and military officials retired, came out from the main gate of Jieshuai Mansion, and summoned their subordinates to lead horses and carts to see them off.

At this time, some people did not wait for the expected appointment, and were slightly disappointed; some people guessed what disturbed the gathering arranged by Guo Ning, and stood at the door to discuss with their colleagues.Hundreds of people rushed out, which actually made the gate of Jieshuai's mansion a little crowded.

At this time, the subordinates have different styles due to different origins, and they can distinguish them very clearly. For example, the group of warriors who defected to Guo Ning at the Feijunhe camp were full of arrogance and loud voices.

This is a rare opportunity for outsiders who have recently come to Shandong.So after Liang Xunyi was sent out of the door politely by Chu Cai, he stood by the door and looked at it calmly for a while.

He didn't turn around until everyone dispersed one after another.

A companion came over with a horse and asked him to get on the horse.He shook his head in refusal, walking slowly along the road.

The former experience officer of the Xuanfu Department of Xianping Road, about forty years old, of medium height, with a very elegant appearance, a high nose bridge, a few shallow wrinkles on his forehead, a little weather-beaten, A long black beard grew under his chin, fluttering slightly as he walked.

The young man with the horse beside him followed him for a while, and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what happened? Didn't it mean..."

Liang Xunyi glanced at him.

The young man laughed twice and covered his mouth.

This young man is Liang Xunyi's cousin, called Liang Chisheng.Because of his strength and good shooting, he has always followed his brother as a guard.

On that day Puxian Wannu was serving as the Xuanfu envoy of Liaodong, and Liang Xunyi was his experience officer in name, but in fact he had been excluded all the time and kept secrets.But when Pu Xianwannu raised his troops, Liang Xunyi led a few trusted servants to stay out of the house. Pu Xianwannu was intimidated by his reputation and did not dare to invade him rashly.

Later, there was chaos in the city, and the soldiers and civilians harassed them. Some bandits took the opportunity to rob the house, but Liang Chisheng shot with his bow, killed several people, and forced the bandits back.

After the death of Puxian Wannu, various warlords in the Northeast re-divided the land, and Xianpingfu Road fell into the hands of Heshi Liehuanduan, but Liang Xunyi was a descendant of nobles, generations of Confucian officials, with a somewhat arrogant personality, and he couldn't get along with Heshi Liehuanduan.So he met Guo Ning and asked to go south with the fleet and then go to Zhongdu.

As a result, after arriving in Laizhou, Guo Ning was busy with business, and Liang Xunyi asked to see him several times, but he didn't see him, so the next step of the itinerary had to be postponed.And just yesterday, Guo Ning suddenly came to the door again to pay a private visit.

According to Guo Ning's intention, a special experience department should be established in the Jiedushi's mansion to be responsible for the cashier of Wenyi.

The position of the experience department is very noble, on par with the government affairs department who moved Chucai, and Xu Xuan's record department. With Liang Xunyi's reputation and qualifications, he is naturally the candidate for the experience officer.In addition, Wang Rubi, a well-known Confucian scholar in Fuzhou, will also serve in it.

Liang Xunyi did not immediately agree, but when Guo Ning invited him to participate in the civil and military assembly the next day, he did not object either.

Liang Chisheng knew about this meeting, and he also knew that after Guo Ning left, the lights in Liang Xunyi's room were kept on almost overnight.

Liang Chisheng is a warrior by nature, he has some admiration for Guo Ning who put down the rebellion in Liaodong, and he is quite happy to stay in the stable Laizhou.So he is looking forward to today's gathering.But I never thought that the meeting was suddenly suspended before the appointment was made?

With his hands behind his back, Liang Xunyi took two steps slowly: "Yang An'er has lost."

"what?"

"On the Shandong side, there is a famous rebel named Yang An'er. This Yang An'er called himself the emperor, gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, and controlled most of Shandong. Wanyan Heda fights back and forth, regardless of the outcome. However, this time, this person is estimated to be defeated. The situation in Shandong will soon undergo a huge change!"

"How did brother know?" Liang Chisheng asked.

Liang Xunyi pondered for a moment, but what he said started in another way: "Guo Jiedu sent troops to Liaodong this time to control Fuzhou and Gaizhou. With this appointment, he will firmly control the territory of Dinghai and Liaohai. But he is also very clear that the Dajin court is the court after all, unless he wants to immediately rebel, otherwise, he must give the court some face."

Liang Chisheng gasped: "Rebellion? Is this Guo Jiedu actually the same as Puxian Wannu?"

The two were strolling on the street, the street was bustling with pedestrians, and the cries of various shops kept coming and going.A farmer carrying a load and selling leeks walked past the two of them.Liang Xunyi waved his hands again and again to make his cousin speak softly.

"Guo Jiedu and Puxian Wannu are naturally different, you will understand later."

Liang Xunyi replied, and then said: "Puxian Wannu is rebellious and unruly, with great ambition and talent. He has three points of strength, so he dares to do things that are six points, and raise the banner of ten points. Guo Jiedu..."

"Didn't you say that he is also very rebellious?"

"Jieao?" Liang Xunyi couldn't help chuckling: "This Guo Jiedu has been very strong for a long time, but he only does six points, playing the banner of three points. You think he is unruly, but in fact, he It has been restrained very much!"

"Then, is he a loyal minister of Daikin?"

"In the past, Yang An'er's forces ran across Shandong, and his three states of Denglai were isolated from the outside world. Therefore, he can naturally fight steadily, hold the banner of the Dajin court, and cultivate his own strength safely. In the process, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts with the court. Contradictions naturally need to convey sincerity to the court from time to time."

"He asked me to be the experience officer of the Dinghai Navy because he wanted to use us Liaodong officials and Confucian scholars as a cover. He wanted to use our name to show loyalty to the court, or to show temporary loyalty; I want to use our name, hehe, it means to be a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone, to pose to outsiders."

Liang Xunyi twirled his beard and walked slowly on the street:

"However, Dinghai and the imperial court maintain a stable situation, so he has this need. If Yang An'er's troops are defeated, the imperial court's soldiers and horses, as well as those of His Royal Highness King Sui of Nanjing Road, will all invade Shandong, and Guo Jiedu will naturally They will not give up Shandong to others. The three families are fighting for each other, and if they are not sure, they will turn their faces and fight each other."

Liang Chisheng nodded again and again: "If Guo Jiedu is determined to turn his back on the court, what's the point of having a group of scholars who are loyal to the court in the official office? It is guaranteed that there will be no trouble! If he is appointed today, he will be deprived of his position tomorrow. He was laughed at by outsiders. So, he simply suspended the meeting and made arrangements when he figured it out tomorrow?"

Liang Xunyi laughed twice, and lowered his voice slightly: "It's not just the arrangement of a few sour scholars, there are many things that need to be adjusted and mobilized to decide what the navy really wants to do! I think the Jieshuai's mansion is here. One night, there may not be any results from the discussion!"

"Then brother, what should we do?" Liang Chisheng was worried.

"What do you think we should do?" Liang Xunyi asked back.

Seeing his cousin stunned, he smiled lightly and said, "Don't panic, let's lie down and watch."

At this time, in Jieshuai's mansion.

Guo Ning sat in the study, contemplating, but occasionally got up impatiently and looked outside.

"What did the medical officer say?" He asked a little angrily, "Think of a way to wake up the person first! Ask me clearly!"
