Linzhi

He Zhan looked around at the crowd, his demeanor was completely different from when he was in Sangjiazhai. With a restrained smile, he was even a bit more shocking and majestic than He Rong. Unable to hide the murderous aura.

Especially when they just passed by the city gate and saw the head of Li Zhan hanging high on the city tower, Sanza and others couldn't help feeling afraid.

Looking at He Rong next to him, he felt a little more friendly.

"King An is going to return to Beijing in a few days, and I will stay here for a while longer. Tan Jin and Zhou Yi and the others will take over the things that King An discussed with you earlier, such as the establishment of elementary school. You may wish to get acquainted with them first, so that you can deal with them in the future." .”

After He Zhan finished speaking, he introduced Tan Jin, Zhou Yi and others for Sanzha and the others: "These two have been officials in Fangzhou for many years. They are in charge of one side, and they are also people whom Wang An and I can trust. If you have any difficulties in Lingnan in the future, you may as well talk to them Let's discuss it."

Sanza finally found an opportunity to interject, and hurriedly asked, "Why is King An going back to Beijing so well?"

He Rong said: "Just when you came here, there happened to be a decree from Chang'an, asking me to return to Beijing first, but considering that there are still many things to be done here, so after I discussed with King Xing, he decided to stay longer. A period of time to ensure a smooth transition."

What he said was different from the casualness in Sangjiazhai a few days ago.

At this moment, King An has changed into a prince's robe, solemn and elegant, with a radiant face.

"King Xing and you are also old acquaintances. You can rest assured that he is with you in everything. In the future, Tan Jin will not only be the governor of Guangzhou, but will also serve as the economic envoy of the five Lingnan prefectures. As for the post of deputy envoy, the imperial court has just issued a decree. , I agree that you six departments will nominate one person first, and then Tan Jin will go up to the imperial court to formally confer the title."

He Rong had already communicated with them before, and Sanza was naturally prepared. Hearing the words, he cupped his hands and said, "I am grateful for the grace of the imperial court. After serious discussions with the various villages in Nanyi, we have decided to elect me as the first deputy envoy." , Sanzha is not talented, and is willing to use this body to serve the imperial court and seek the well-being of the people of Lingnan."

It is said that it is the six tribes of Nanyi. In fact, after Li Zhan and others were killed, their village has been merged into the Sangjia village. This result is not surprising. He Rong and He Zhan also prefer to have Sanza as the deputy envoy. She is a descendant of Mrs. Guiyi, and understands Chinese, and is willing to fully cooperate with the implementation of the imperial court's policy on Nanyi.

He Rong and He Zhan looked at each other, the latter nodded and said with a smile: "Master Sangzhai deserves his name, and he will do his part. From now on, you will be the bridge between Han and Yi. The imperial court will try its best to arrange the livelihood of the Yi people It also depends on Village Master Sang to contribute a lot."

He Rong also said: "Mr. Mengxue, Tan Jin has already arranged for the artisans who teach the barbarians to cultivate silkworms and weave fabrics. It is expected that the first batch of two schools will be opened first, one in Sangjiazhai and one in Anjia villages are all villages close to the county seat, and the specific location will be decided after you discuss with Tan Jin."

Sanzha said gratefully: "Your Highnesses' kindness to Nanyi, we will all remember it in our hearts. In the future, we will set up a shrine for the two of you and offer a longevity tablet!"

He Zhan laughed: "That's unnecessary. All we did was to hope that Lingnan could maintain peace forever. As long as the Sang village master does his best and has no regrets in his heart, it will be considered as a reward for us."

He Rong's eyes passed over Sanzha, and landed on Sang Lin who was eager to speak behind him, and suddenly said: "Master Sang, during the time I was in Nanyi, I had a very happy conversation with Sang Lin, and now I am returning to Beijing , I also want to take him along, let him go out to gain some knowledge, so that he can better contribute to the people of Lingnan in the future, I don't know what Sangzhai's idea is?"

Sanzha was taken aback, he subconsciously thought of the allusions related to the hostages in the Central Plains, but Sang Lin was obviously not as worried as his father, and without thinking about it, he immediately said: "I am willing!"

He Rong seemed to see Sanza's hesitation, and smiled: "Master Sang, don't worry, I have no intention of holding Sang Lin as a hostage, but Sang Lin is good at skills, and it's a pity to stay in a corner of Lingnan all his life. There should be a wider road to choose from.”

Old Sanza blushed and was a little ashamed: "Forgive me, Your Highness. I didn't think too much about it. It's just that people are old and dull. You don't think it's too early for A Lin. Just take him away. You don't need to be beaten or scolded, Your Highness." Show mercy."

Sang Lin showed a look of joy, looking at that appearance, he wished he could set off immediately and follow An Wang away.

Sanza shook his head secretly, feeling very disappointed.

After everyone left, He Rong said to He Zhan: "Just now, the little girl has been watching you from the beginning to the end, and you can't bear to stop her, so you can stay here to comfort her?"

He Zhan couldn't help but rolled his eyes, he didn't have the sternness he had just shown in front of others.

"If you didn't bring her here, how could it be like this?"

He Rong: "Her father is now a respectable leader in Nanyi, and is about to become the deputy envoy of economic strategy. It is well known that she admires you. You are unmarried and unmarried. She just wants to come and have a look. You, if I don't agree to such a small request, wouldn't it seem unreasonable?"

He Zhan snorted angrily: "I think you just want to watch a good show!"

He Rong raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that I am such a person in your eyes?"

He Zhan said without hesitation, "Yes!"

"..." He Rong was speechless for a moment, then suddenly sighed: "My younger brother is getting older and has his own ideas. It seems that I should go back to the capital as soon as possible, so as not to stay and trouble others."

He got up to leave, but He Zhan grabbed him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Okay, third brother, stop joking! Tell me quickly, why did the imperial court suddenly issue an edict to let you return to Beijing first?"

He Rong originally planned to stay here for a few more months and watch Mengxue build up with his own eyes before leaving, but now, just as they said to Sanza, the edict came suddenly and completely disrupted their plan.

"The victory report of the pacification of Nanyi has been sent to Chang'an. It stands to reason that if we came together, we should also leave together. Why do we just call you back now?" He Zhan frowned and wondered, "Could it be that something happened in Chang'an? What's the matter?"

He Rong shook his head. Although he had plans in his mind, he was only a mortal after all, and he was thousands of miles away, so it was impossible for him to foretell.

During the journey from Chang'an to here, many things happened in between.

"My only worry is that Your Majesty may transfer Li Kuan to guard Ganzhou because of Zhang Tao's death."

He Zhan frowned: "Last time, we have suggested to His Majesty that Li Kuan may be related to the rebellious case back then. Your Majesty will not let the other party take charge of the army again, right?"

He Rong: "So far, Li Kuan has done nothing, everything is just our suspicion. Last time we saw the big food merchant in Luoyang, it was he who proved that the spice was bought by Li Kuan ,do you remember?"

He Zhan nodded.

He Rong: "Later, I sent someone to Luoyang to look for him. The merchant had left the Central Plains and disappeared, and his shop was closed. I sent someone to find the owner of the Bao family, who bought another spice. , but he told me that although that kind of spice is rare, it is not unique. At least he took that kind of incense and went to the incense shop to find someone to restore it. As long as it is an experienced incense maker, it can also make incense with almost the same taste. square."

He Zhan didn't expect this incident to have such a follow-up, and was stunned for a moment.

"So, the fragrance on the letterhead we found in Weng Hao's room may not have come from Li Kuan's hands?"

He Rong nodded: "According to what Mr. Bao said, it's true. Later, I bought some spices from Bao's family and asked the incense maker in the capital. What he said was similar to what Mr. Bao said."

The only suspicion can't be proven. It would be fine if Li Kuangong is a high-ranking master, but his performance all the time has been impeccable. No matter how suspicious the emperor is, he will not attack a non-threatening foreign relative, not to mention that the court is currently employing people. At this time, without Zhang Tao, Emperor Jiayou would never abandon Li Kuan for no reason.

He Rong said again: "Last time I sent a letter to Wen Jiang, asking her to enter the palace and ask Empress Pei to come forward and stop Li Kuan from guarding the border town. It would be safer for such a person to stay in the capital, but Empress Pei has always been neutral. I may not be willing to take this muddy water. I guess this temporary call back to Beijing may have something to do with Fu Nian Khan's proposed marriage. His Majesty is not a belligerent king, and seeing that I have been sent to the Western Turks, maybe it is to let I'll go to East Turk again and propose peace talks to Fu Nian."

He Zhan frowned: "Fu Nian's wolf ambition is completely different from the situation in Western Turks at that time. How can he be a person who can negotiate? This is absolutely impossible!"

He Rong patted him on the shoulder: "This is just my guess. I won't know until I go back. Don't worry, I know exactly what it is."

He Zhan took his arm and said solemnly: "Third brother, I really don't want you to go back so soon. Although this place is located in the south of the sky, it is far away from disputes. You and I just focus on winning the battle and stabilizing one side. You don’t have to worry about anything, how happy you are.”

He Rong: "If you had to worry about it, how would you choose?"

He Zhan was taken aback.

At first it sounded like he was asking whether he would choose to stay in Nanyi or return to Chang'an, but after careful consideration, it seemed that there was more to his words than to his words.

He was staring blankly, when He Rong pushed his hand away, got up and walked out.

"where are you going?"

"I'm hungry, go get someone to make something to eat." He Rong complained as he walked out, "You have a majestic Governor's Mansion, don't you even have a refreshment?"

He Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Isn't this being occupied by Li Zhan earlier? He didn't trust the Han people, so he drove out all the servants in the Governor's Mansion and replaced them with Nanyi people. You haven't been able to call them back for a while, so you just sit there Come on, I'll find someone to cook for you whatever you want to eat!"

He Rong didn't turn his head back: "Fry bugs!"

He Zhan hurried to catch up: "Can't we eat something else?"

The sound faded away.
