The happy life of a prodigal

Why did I run into an acquaintance at this time.

"Yuan Junzhe..."

Liang Hu looked at Yuan Junzhe, with a rare playful smile on his face, and asked, "Do you know him?"

The soldier from the Shenji camp next to him saw his general questioning him, and hurriedly replied: "If you go back to the general, I used to be a neighbor of this man. Later, I heard that he was working as an official in King Kang's mansion, so I seldom interacted with him."

This soldier was frank and frank, and did not hide anything.

Liang Hu nodded, looked at Yuan Junzhe, and asked knowingly: "Since you are from Kang Wang's mansion, why do you hide your identity? Lie that you are a merchant?"

Yuan Junzhe didn't know how to answer when he heard this.

Could it be that he is actually an envoy sent by His Royal Highness Kang Wang to cooperate with the Qiyan Department?

Let's not talk about what the general Huben in front of him will do to himself.

Let's just talk about this... It's really embarrassing!

"me......"

Yuan Junzhe lowered his head guiltyly, for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

At this time, Liang Hu said: "Since you are from Kang Wang's mansion, it is not good to stay here. This general will send a few people to take you back to the capital mansion..."

Yuan Junzhe was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then, ecstasy appeared on his face.

He is worried that there is no way to go back!

Unexpectedly, there is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright. This Liang Hu actually doesn't know his identity or the purpose of coming here, and he wants to send himself back. It's really...

As soon as he thought this way, he heard Liang Hu order the guards beside him: "This man is the counselor of His Royal Highness King Kang, you send a few more people to escort him well, and when he arrives in the capital, you must sing praises of his great achievements.

Just one person dares to go deep into the tiger's lair and deal with many barbarians from the Qiyan tribe, it's really amazing..."

"Yes, General!"

At this moment, the people in Shenji Camp could already vaguely guess what the attendant of King Kang's Mansion did when he came to the Begging Yan Department.

There is contempt in the eyes.

Hearing what the general said, he should claim it.

"This this......"

Yuan Junzhe was taken aback when he heard this, and then he was completely dumbfounded.

Praise?

Great achievements?

Didn't he say he was going to parade himself in the street?

Doesn't everyone in Kyoto know that they have colluded with the begging department?

That's all, the most important thing is that I represent Kang Wangfu.

If this matter spreads, what face will Prince Kang's Mansion have?

Hasn't His Highness King Kang become the second His Highness King Ning?

This... must not!

Never!

Just as he was about to beg for mercy, two guards came up and held him up, one on the left and one on the right.

The voice is also full of coldness.

"Master Yuan, don't struggle, follow me back to the capital!"

"This...General Liang, listen to my explanation, listen to my explanation!"

Yuan Junzhe still wanted to struggle to the death, and shouted loudly at Liang Hu.

Liang Hu ignored him and left directly.

And Yuan Junzhe was dragged into the carriage by two guards, and sent back to the capital!

Kyoto Prefecture, Fangfu.

It was dusk again.

As usual, Fang Xiu lay lazily on the recliner in his yard.

Close your eyes and rest quietly.

In fact, he had nothing much to do.

During this period of time, the people under him have become popular, and they can barely take charge of themselves.

On the other side of Qingzhou, there was a cheap old man supporting him, but he didn't bother him much.

In Jiangnan Road, Qianzheng is flourishing there. Although he has no official position, he occupies a high position by relying on sweet potatoes and land.

Even the prefect of Gusu Prefecture treated him with courtesy.

After all, everyone knows that Qian Zhengqian is a member of the Xin'an Hou Mansion.

As for Kyoto Prefecture, it goes without saying.

Whether it's Wang Baole from Baolefang or Lu Si from Zhuxuanzhai, they are people who don't need Fang Xiu to worry about.

If there is no major problem, they can solve it by themselves without asking for instructions.

If there is really anything to worry about, only Chang Ru is left.

It will be autumn soon.

This is the first autumn since the reform of the imperial examination, so naturally it needs to be taken seriously.

The chief examiner of the Kyoto Prefecture is the newly appointed Minister of Rites, whose surname seems to be... Zhou.

Fang Xiu also couldn't remember clearly.

The servant of the Ministry of Rites has changed two in just one year.

Fang Xiu didn't take it too seriously either.

No matter what, this autumn is still important.

In the past, a few Hanlin were sent, or they were just cabinet bachelors.

This time, he was directly appointed as the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

The other departments are all officials from the Ministry of Rites sent from Kyoto Prefecture, and the deputy examiner is Hanlin.

It can be seen that the imperial court attached great importance to this imperial examination.

According to common sense, both the main examiner and the deputy examiner are selected by His Majesty the Emperor.

This time the situation is special, many people are quite critical of this new style of imperial examination, especially the emperor...

And almost full of civil and military affairs.

Therefore, it is not an easy task in itself to pick out the chief examiner and the secondary examiner from the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

It was the three elders of the cabinet who came to the court in person, and after a long time of persuasion, someone was willing to be the examiner.

Other than that, nothing seems to be going on.

It turned out that the news that the tribes of the grassland were going to march south had spread throughout the entire Great Chu.

All the officials from the capital city to the small people in the southeast province all know about this matter.

No matter who it is, everyone feels nervous.

Although the grassland tribes are not as powerful as before, their brave and cruel images are deeply engraved in the hearts of every Chu people.

It would be a lie to say not to worry.

However, more than a month has passed, but they haven't heard anything about the four northern states.

That is to say, I saw a newspaper once, which seemed to say that the grassland tribes were besieging Qiuning Prefecture City.

The soldiers of Qiuning Fucheng persisted for a full ten days.

Other than that, there seems to be no other news.

Now, half a month has passed since the tribes of the grassland besieged the city of Qiuning, but they don't know if the city of Qiuning has been defended.

If it hadn't been defended, where would the army of the grassland tribes be now?

Will it threaten Kyoto Prefecture?

These issues will be discussed in the restaurant at the beginning.

However, gradually no one discussed it.

Because of everyone's miraculous discovery.

This southern expedition of the grassland tribes has almost no impact on their daily life.

In the past, at this time, food prices had already risen.

The prices of mansions in Kyoto Prefecture have already dropped.

Last time, because of this, Marquis Xin'an earned a lot of money.

This time, there was no movement.

Other than that, even the merchants who were doing business in the four northern states remained silent.

I don't know why nothing happened!

certainly......

Only Fang Xiu knew.

Where nothing happened, it was obvious that everything had been resolved!

Chapter 895 The Steam Engine

For the people of Kyoto Prefecture, and even the entire Chu State, the news of the southern expedition of the grassland tribes is just ordinary news.

From the newspapers published in Zhuxuanzhai, there is no news.

But what they don't know is how much effort Shenjiying, Yirenju, and the secret spy department have put in behind this.

What price did the soldiers in the four northern states, especially Qiuning Town, pay?

These, the entire Kyoto Prefecture, perhaps only Fang Xiu knows.

Other people, even if they know it, only have a half-knowledge, or a relatively one-sided understanding.

Fang Xiu looked at the setting sun, the fiery red gradually disappeared, replaced by grayness.

There was some inexplicable emotion in his heart.

What would Dachu and the Qiyan Department be like without him.

There was no time for sad autumn and spring, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the yard.

A servant walked quickly to Fang Xiu's side, stood upright, saluted respectfully, and then said: "Master, there is news from Qiuning Town."

Fang Xiu raised his eyes, glanced at him, waved his hands, and said calmly: "Nian."

"Yes, sir."

"Your Majesty, I am humbled by..."

The servant read it word by word.

The content is nothing more than that.

Where is the Shenji Camp now, what is the current trend of the Begging Yan Department, and the [-] labor force ordered by Lord Hou, how much has been gathered now.

Fang Xiu listened and listened, feeling a little tired, so he got up, waved his hands, and said: "Understood, go down, let Liang Hu stay in the Qiyan Department.

If there is any change in Qi Yanyan, don't show mercy. "

When he said this, he was very indifferent, as if he just said a trivial matter.

The servant felt a burst of cold.

This short sentence almost decided the life and death of 5 to [-] people.
