Royal Road - Chapter 121

[Chapter 121]

For Sima Teng, it’s been a month since he left Bingzhou.

The achievements of retribution were all in vain, and the allied army’s attack on Ye was also abandoned halfway, and even the back road was copied.

Thanks to the restoration of the food supply, the army was able to fill their stomachs, otherwise they would have to go back to Bingzhou hungry.

All these, one by one, made Sima Teng furious, wishing to arrest all the bad officials and punish them severely.

However, when the main gate of the Prefect’s Mansion opened wide, a handsome man in a black shirt with a sick face greeted him.

Full of anger, suddenly lost the direction of the outbreak.

After a few dry words, Sima Teng followed Liang Feng into the Prefect’s Mansion.

The prefect’s mansion was still the same mansion, but the number of officials who came to greet them was less than half.

Look at the officials who are timid and trembling, and then look at the jade people who are sitting upright and undisturbed.

Sima Teng coughed dryly and said, “I never thought that it would be Zixi who rescued Shangdang this time. I wonder why Zixi suddenly came to Shangdang?

” It was too strange, so I decided to do it and came to the prefecture, and I really saw through the thief’s tricks.” Liang Feng’s answer was brief, neither exaggerated nor detailed, and he understated the reason for the incident.

It’s like he did not an important task that was enough to save the Shangdang and the lifeline of the army, but a trivial matter that could not be mentioned.

Sima Teng was speechless.

Is this an attitude of taking credit?

Naturally not.

This man was just like when he first met him, neither arrogant nor flattering.

Elegant and handsome, he is not shocked at all times, and he has the demeanor of a celebrity.

However, what he did was indeed a great achievement.

No reward is not enough to reassure the army.

After a moment of silence, Sima Teng put on some smiles: “If Zixi should have set up the General’s Mansion, I’m afraid no one would be able to solve this crisis. Such a great achievement should be rewarded. I will report it to the court. , I will give you an official rank, and I will give you a meal.”

He didn’t mention any actual official position, just mentioned it in general terms.

There was no joy on Liang Feng’s face, but instead he bowed his hands and said, “This time I came to Shangdang, and I have nothing else to ask for. It is just that Shangdang is in danger, and it is not allowed to be explored by outsiders. However, the Huns are powerful and domineering. The heart of rebellion will endanger the state! I also hope that Dongying Gong will be cautious and cautious, don’t ignore it.”

What?

Did he come to Bingzhou just now because he was wary of the five tribes of the Xiongnu?

Sima Teng couldn’t help but ask: “Didn’t Zixi know Captain Liu?”

The subtext of these words was clear.

You don’t believe in Buddhism, you have been in close contact with Liu Xuan, and you still want to make him famous?

Why are you suddenly attacking the five Huns?

Liang Feng shook his head in awe: “I’m not talented, scriptures and porcelain are just for the winter. Since last year, leather goods have been rarely seen on the market, and the sales of the five books have decreased by more than 70%. Not only that. In addition, the Shangdang rebellion, the Huns dispatched 500 elite cavalry, is really not a good omen. If Yecheng is defeated and Liu Yuanhai returns to his own family, I am afraid that disaster will happen!

” What Sima Teng said was far beyond Sima Teng’s expectations.

However, just looking at the other party’s serious expression, he knew that this was probably not a lie.

If the five tribes of the Xiongnu rebelled, then Bingzhou would bear the brunt and face the front of the army.

His face changed and changed, Sima Teng finally said: “Zixi is very worried, I will go to Jinyang.”

With these words, Liang Feng just made a look of relief, and agreed again. A few documents were uploaded.

There are county affairs in recent days, documents to strengthen customs defense, and records of meritorious deeds to exterminate the chaotic party.

Everything is clearly understood, and it can be seen how serious the people who deal with these matters are.

After handing over these things, Liang Feng took out the seal of the prefect and handed it to Sima Teng: “This thing should also be handed over to Dongying Company.”

Sima Teng looked at the seal with a complicated expression.

If someone else took this seal, I am afraid that I would have to work hard to climb to a high position, how could I give it back to him so lightly?

Liang Feng didn’t care about the other party’s mood. After reporting everything, he calmly saluted and withdrew.

After knocking his finger on the case for a long time, Sima Teng ordered someone to call in Linghu Kuang, who also made great contributions.

In the face of such a noble family hero, Sima Teng’s attitude was much more comfortable, and he praised with a smile: “As expected of a general, if Commander Linghu hadn’t seized the city and killed the enemy, the army would not be able to return safely. This merit should be rewarded. !”

After working so hard for so long, this is it.

Linghu Kuang hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

The five hundred heads, plus the credit for retaking Huguan and rectifying the army, were enough to make Linghu Kuang rise several ranks, and because he was quite popular in the army, Sima Teng made a decision to promote him as General Zhechong and appoint him at the same time. Leading thousands of troops and horses, guarding the party.

Linghu Kuang’s uncle was only a fourth-rank general. This time, he was directly promoted to fifth-rank, and he was in charge of the party’s soldiers and horses, which was considered extremely preferential treatment.

Such a reward was enough to make Linghu Kuang feel grateful.

Unexpectedly, Linghu Kuang did not take the order, but instead said: “This time, thanks to Liang Ye’s strategy, Huguan can be decided in one fell swoop. I am ashamed of my humble position.”

“What?” Sima Teng was really surprised this time. Quickly ask the other party to report carefully.

Linghu Kuang didn’t hide it, he told the story of how to turn against the Huguan and lure the enemy into it.

Then he said: “If there is no Liang Ye, Shangdang may have fallen into the enemy’s hands. Now it is safe and stable, which is really the merit of Liang Ye.”

It’s that Liang Zixi again!

Sima Teng suppressed the tumultuous thoughts in his chest and said with a smile: “Liang Lang is naturally rewarded, but your credit cannot be buried. Shangdang is the throat of Bingzhou, and only a good general like you can guard it.”

If Linghu is greedy Sima Teng may still have some doubts if the merit is concealed.

But now he has given Liang Feng’s credits one by one, which shows his honesty and courage. Such a general is the most reassuring.

Moreover, the Linghu family are all in Bingzhou. With this heavy relationship, it is the best candidate to let him stay in the party.

When Linghu Kuang heard such a compliment, his face flushed with excitement: “The last general will definitely live up to the entrustment of General Ningbei!”

Sima Teng nodded and suddenly asked: “If you replace the prefect of Shangdang, who do you think is suitable? ”

This is a question that shouldn’t be asked, but Linghu Kuang didn’t think about it that much, and immediately replied: “It’s not Liang Ye!”

This answer is too fast.

However, Liang Feng is really not a person worthy of flattery, and even his every move does not seem to want to seek officials, but on the contrary, to save people and pacify the chaos.

Such a person, used well, is enough to stabilize one side.

It’s not good to use, but it’s also a hassle.

Whether to use it or not, Sima Teng really couldn’t decide for a while.

Therefore, when Linghu Kuang retired, Sima Teng recruited his confidants again, and carefully inquired about the words of other officials in the prefect’s mansion.

※ “My lord, Duke

Dongying

has summoned a lot of officials from the prefectural government today. Will it be bad for the lord?”

This matter is very important, and Yi Yan will let it go.

“It’s okay, let him inquire.” Liang Feng smiled and didn’t care.

In the past few days in the Shangdang, he has actually done a lot of things, and it is impossible to hide it.

Even if he hides it forcibly, it will only make people suspicious, suspecting that his intentions to gain power are wrong.

It’s better to let it be, just ask the other party.

Now the prefect’s mansion has been carefully selected, and most of the officials who remain in office are not very clean, and these people will not be stupid enough to frame him for seeking official positions.

Seeing Liang Feng’s confident look, Yi Yan hesitated for a while before asking: “Dongying Gong seems to be wary of the lord, why does the lord vote for him?

” It’s not an errand under the general’s mansion, but an official position in the imperial court. Shangdang, a county, can no longer fall into the hands of mediocre people.”

This is also what Duan Qin’s letter mentioned before.

Although there are Liangxing and several nearby counties, Liang Feng has no official position and no military power.

Barely manageable when there is no conflict of interest.

Once there is a real crisis, a Liang Mansion is far from enough to let those people do their bidding.

In this way, there is a right gap, which is very easy to cause problems.

In addition, the small piece of land cannot constitute a real strategic depth, and neither is a long-term plan.

But this time in Lucheng, it was completely different.

As long as he can get the post of the prefect of the party, the entire party will be under his control.

Although Shangdang is a battleground for military strategists, it is also a great barrier in the world, and it is extremely difficult to overcome.

With this hard bone, in a short period of time, he can make all the people who coveted the party go back.

Likewise, this place will also be a barrier, enough to make him full of wings and gather strength.

Shangdang, he is determined to win!

As for whether Sima Teng trusted him or not, it was actually a secondary issue.

In the face of the enemy, will a sane person guard the gate with a mediocre confidant, or will he guard the gate with an upright minister who is not greedy for power?

This is not a question worth hesitating at all.

It is precisely because of this that Liang Feng made an arrogant attitude of giving up completely, taking retreat as advance.

Whenever he showed a little bit of nostalgia for power, Sima Teng would have doubts in his heart and would not dare to use him!

Now, just waiting for the Lord of Bingzhou to make a decision.

Seeing that the lord looked so energetic, Yi Yan closed his mouth.

This was actually not what he expected, but this time, he didn’t feel angry, but silently accepted the reality.

The district Liang Mansion is still too small for the lord.

After understanding his true intentions, all delusions, all yearnings, turned into a mirror, and it was out of reach.

And this humble mind must not let that person notice.

He is not Yan Ji, and he does not want to face the same disgusting gaze from the master.

So, everything went back to where it started.

If the lord wants to flutter his wings, he can only follow him and turn into a gust of good wind to help him shake for nine days.

Just like any minister who is loyal to his lord.

Yi Yan lowered his eyes and once again covered all his emotions under that cold face.

※

“It seems that this Liang Feng does have the ability to calm the people.”

After listening to his subordinate’s report, even Sima Teng had to admit it.

If there is no Liang Feng, I am afraid that it will not be able to quickly reunite the Shangdang that has been devastated by the chaotic party.

This kind of ability can already be regarded as a minister.

It is worthy of being the first in the world to become Liang Xi, but it still seems to be somewhat similar to his ancestor.

Such a person is absolutely capable of being tasked.

But not a confidant, can it be of great use?

Sima Teng was indeed a little murmured.

How could he not know that this Liang Zixi had no intention of serving him.

Without this affiliation, what should I do if I use him and don’t obey orders?

But if you don’t need it, Shangdang is still in a mess. Can someone else, like Liang Feng, quickly enter the state and rectify the land of a county?

Sima Teng asked himself that there was no such virtuous person in his hands, and the troubles caused by Jiang Taishou this time made him extremely worried about these confidants.

This is not other counties, but Shangdang!

Who dares to give his throat to a fool?

Sima Teng is indeed not a good judge, but soon, a piece of news cut off his hesitation.

“What did you say? Liu Yuan returned to Jiuyuan, and the five armies assembled, intending to rebel?!” Hearing the news from the messenger, Sima Teng’s heart and lungs were about to explode.

How dare that Shuzi, Sima Ying, do this?

!

!

No, he must return to Jinyang as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation!

Suppressing the panic in his heart, Sima Teng loudly ordered: “Please ask Liang Zixi!” After a

short time, Liang Feng came to the main hall, Sima Teng did not give him time to react, and immediately said: “Zixi, Liu Yuanhui Arrived in Bingzhou!”

Sure enough.

Liang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly: “Please return to Jinyang on the Dongying Expressway!”

In his words, there was no hesitation, nor the slightest anxiety.

Such a person is a good minister who can be entrusted!

In an instant, Sima Teng made up his mind: “I will leave tomorrow, but the chaos in the Shangdang has not been completely eliminated. If the Xiongnu thieves send troops to invade again, it will be enough to spoil the Jinyang event. Therefore, please also ask for this matter. Zixi is in his hands.”

The prefect printed the letter and pushed it back intact.

This might not be a temptation.

Whether the Xiongnu rebelled or not had a completely different impact on the Shangdang.

If the Huns did not rebel, Shangdang would only be a way to send troops.

And if the Xiongnu rebelled, this place would immediately become a place of four battles, and there was a danger of being harassed by chaotic troops at any time.

Not everyone has the courage to take on such a danger.

However, Liang Feng didn’t have any fear on his face, but solemnly bowed: “Dongying Gong is willing to entrust Shangdang to Xiaguan, and Xiaguan should use his life to protect this place!”

He used the word “life”.

As if a big stone fell from his chest, Sima Teng let out a long sigh: “I have heard about the appearance of a state scholar, but I can only see it now. With Zixi in the party, my heart is at ease!” On

the same day, a letter was sent to me.

to Luoyang.

Please make Liang Zixi the prefect of Shangdang, enter the township, and donate 2,000 households.

It’s a pity that the emperor is not in the palace now, and I don’t know when this order will be approved.

But with Sima Teng, the actual owner of Bingzhou, this formal procedure is not important.

Once again, Liang Feng took the prefect’s letter and stepped into the main hall of the prefect’s mansion.
