Royal Road - Chapter 205

[Chapter 204 | City]

The banquet was set after the Xia Ya, and it was getting late when Linghu Sheng drove to the Governor’s Mansion.

The people surrounding the governor’s house had long since dispersed, leaving only the soldiers standing guard with swords.

Under the guidance of the door, he entered the government office.

Contrary to what he imagined, the Governor’s Mansion is not what it used to be.

In just one day’s work, the extravagant aura Sima Teng left behind was all gone.

The furnishings in the mansion are simple and generous, with the solemnity that some official offices should have.

Just this, you can see the preferences of the new governor.

Linghu Sheng silently observed the guards guarding all over the place. Although they were dressed in plain clothes, these people all had stern faces and restrained murderous intentions. They were obviously elite soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield. To be able to use such people as personal guards, it was obvious that Liang Palace heritage.

Passing through several courtyards, the light in front of you suddenly became the inner courtyard of the governor’s mansion.

At this moment, the lotus flowers in the pond have not yet fallen, swaying in the slight summer wind, indescribably elegant and quiet.

A thin figure, standing under the pavilion by the pool, with plain noodles in green clothes, surpasses Bihe.

Seeing this, how could he dare to be negligent, Linghu Sheng stepped forward: “The last general will see the envoy!” Before

he could bow down, Liang Feng put his hands on each other: “Why should General Linghu be so polite? Please also take your seat.”

Logically speaking, Liang Feng could sit at the top of the table when entertaining an official of Linghusheng’s level.

However, with a sick look on his face, he still greeted him out of the pavilion, which was enough to show solemnity.

Just this small gesture made Linghu Sheng feel a little warm.

The two followed each other and took their seats.

After sitting down, Linghu Sheng realized that there were not many guests today, only Liang Shishi’s confidant Jie will be on the side.

Is it really a secret conversation?

Liang Feng seemed to have noticed his gaze and introduced with a smile: “This is Captain Yi, who has just been promoted to General Huwei, and came to Jinyang with me.”

Yi Yan immediately surrendered: “The last general has seen Fenwei. General!”

Linghu Sheng said: “I only heard of General Yi’s name in Yuan Jun’s mouth before, but when I see it now, it is indeed a rare general. This victory in Qixian County is thanks to General Yi’s ingenious strategy!”

“It was also General Zhechong who fought bravely and took the lead, and finally achieved full success.” Facing Linghu Sheng, how could he not mention Linghu’s situation?

Hearing this, Linghu Shengguo really laughed and said, “Yuan-jun has made great progress in the past in the party, and it is all thanks to the support of the envoy. I am afraid that it is Linghu’s line, this generation needs more talents!

” General Linghu is too modest. When Duke Linghu was the prefect of Hongnong, he had the name of Bingqing. I heard from my ancestors, and I admired it too. Lord Yuan is a plastic talent, and I should take care of it.” Liang Feng laughed.

The Duke Linghu he was talking about was Linghu Shao, the ancestor of the Linghu Sheng family, who was also a servant of Cao Cao along with Liang Xi, the ancestor of Liang Feng.

However, Linghu Shao was the prefect of Hongnong, and Liang Xi was the governor of Bingzhou, and the official positions were different.

In fact, Linghu Shao is also very famous, but unfortunately, the clan son Linghu Yu is conspiring against him, and he has been implicated in two generations without a high-ranking official. It is rare for Linghu Sheng to be promoted to General Fenwei.

Hearing Liang Feng’s words, Linghu Sheng’s smile became even stronger: “In the past, Duke Liang was appointed as the governor of Bingzhou, and now Shijun is the governor of Bingzhou. It seems that Linghu’s lineage is indeed related to Shijun.”

Who dares to say that Bingzhou was in the past.

The wealthy family, haven’t received Liang Xi’s care?

This relationship has twists and turns, but it’s not right.

Just a few words, that little bit of rust is gone.

Only then did Liang Feng call people and serve wine and delicacies.

Hospitality is just an attitude.

Whether you pay attention or not, you can tell at a glance.

However, Linghu Sheng did not expect that the dishes brought to him by the maids would be so exquisite!

A set of six plates and two bowls, all made of white porcelain.

The vegetables are not steamed or stewed, and they are lightly glossy. They are placed in the dish, and the patterns outlined by the ink pen on the side form a picturesque scenery.

Some are like bamboo forests, some are like lotus ponds, some are like plum seas, some are like clear streams, but the artistic conception is amazing.

Not to mention the use of such quality white porcelain!

The cup used to take the wine is also no trivial matter, it is a glass cup, and the color is very light, reflecting the thick wine in the cup like a golden brew.

Just put it on the case, there is a strong fragrance.

Such dishes, not to mention the original governor’s mansion, or even a top-level clan like Taiyuan Wang’s, are not necessary.

However, it seems that the governor of Liang is not a person who likes extravagance. There are no superfluous furnishings in the governor’s mansion, not to mention the clothes of the servants and guards, and even the master in front of him is just a single robe without much decoration.

It is for this reason that this table dish is more sincere.

Linghu Sheng couldn’t help but sigh: “I never wanted you to prepare such a feast! Is this bowl and plate made of white porcelain from the Liang Mansion?”

“That’s exactly what it is.” General Fox tastes the craftsmanship in my house.”

Such delicacies, coupled with the beautiful scenery of Yale, are really pleasing to the eye.

Liang Feng didn’t put on the pretense of a prefect, nor did he act elegantly, just casually chatting.

Given the face, and the full lining, this meal is naturally comfortable to eat.

However, Linghusheng made up his mind, no matter how much the other party showed his favor, he couldn’t vote for the governor’s mansion now.

We will have to wait for the new governor to take over Jinyang to see the situation.

But he made preparations, but the other party didn’t express his intention, just chatted and talked about the war in Bingzhou.

“I heard that there are also people in Xinxing County who disagree?” Liang Feng asked.

“It was Liu Hu that the envoy said?” Linghusheng knew all about the military affairs of Bingzhou, but he didn’t expect Liang Shishi to take office on the second day. I threw Liu Yuanhai. Baibu Xianbei has tens of thousands of cavalry, if it suddenly attacks, maybe Jinyang will be attacked by the enemy.”

Liang Feng frowned and put down the ivory chopstick: “Now the Huns are going to attack Sizhou, maybe they will move temporarily. No. It

‘s better to defeat Liu Hu first and then attack the Xiongnu.”

This is the old way, Linghu Sheng nodded silently in his heart.

But I can’t say anything, I have to wait until the Governor arrives and see the other party’s arrangements.

Liang Feng didn’t care about Linghusheng’s answer, and turned to ask Yiyan, “Can Shangdang still deploy troops?”

Yiyan said solemnly: “If you only defend and don’t attack, the county soldiers will be three thousand and the cavalry eight hundred, or I can take it out.”

“There are fewer people.” Liang Feng frowned, “Where are the troops?”

“It will take at least one winter to train troops in Jinyang. It only depends on how much land can be cultivated.” Yi Yan responded quickly.

“Oh, it really is an eventful autumn.” Liang Feng sighed.

Linghu Sheng frowned. On the basis of defending the city, Shang Dang was able to provide nearly 4,000 soldiers?

Don’t forget that Qixian also has Yiyan’s subordinates!

How many people are there in Shangdang County?

Moreover, inside and outside the words of the governor, why didn’t he mean to seek help from his own family?

Could it be that he didn’t take Jinyang’s military horses seriously?

Liang Feng did not mention Liu Hu again, but said to Linghu Sheng: “General Linghu is also a member of Bingzhou, and now I am afraid that he has also suffered a military disaster.

” “Linghusheng didn’t hide it.

Liang Feng sighed again: “My home is here, I know I am anxious. When the Liang Mansion was attacked, it was almost destroyed by Zhuangzi. When Shangdang defended against the Huns, the family was exhausted. If it was replaced by someone else, it would be too early Just throw away those small towns and just take care of your own safety.”

This is the truth.

How can outsiders work hard for their homes just like the local gentry?

Wait, this Liang Zixi is half a native of Bingzhou, but this may not be the case for the new governor!

Immediately understood the deep meaning of Liang Feng’s words, Linghu Sheng’s brows furrowed even more.

From this point of view, it is difficult to talk about his interests with the prefect, and with the governor.

This move is a good one.

Unexpectedly, unlike Linghu Sheng’s imagination, Liang Feng did not immediately show the intention of soliciting, and changed the subject again: “In a few days, the government will issue a decree to recruit refugees. It’s just the food stored in the government treasury, I don’t know if I can support it. If it can enrich Jinyang’s population, then spring ploughing in the coming year will give you two points of confidence.

”

Is there any other meaning in this word?

If the refugees are taken in, can the Linghu family also take the opportunity to enrich the story?

It’s just that there is always a shortage of food at home. Only by further stabilizing the situation around Jinyang can farming be more secure.

Is there going to be a fight this winter?

Just like a real chat, Liang Feng was so leisurely, chatting aimlessly with the guests.

Sometimes he talked about government plans, sometimes about military camps, and even mentioned that the children of the Linghu family could be admitted to Shangdang County School.

A meal lasts for an hour, and the feast is not over until the lights are on.

However, when Linghu Sheng got up to leave, Liang Feng didn’t say a word to win over.

Could it be that this prefect is just having a relationship with him, talking about his son and nephew?

A moment before boarding the carriage, a steward of Liang’s house came over: “General, this is a small gift from my envoy to the general, please accept it with a smile!”

It is disrespectful not to accept the gift.

He instructed his servants to take the gift, and after thanking him, he boarded the car.

Before the car started, he opened the exquisite wooden box.

I saw two glass cups placed in the box, and against the background of the lights, they were shining brightly.

How could such a gift be such a small gift?

Linghu Sheng couldn’t help sighing in his heart.

I didn’t hear any important words today, but after thinking about it carefully, every sentence is worth pondering.

In just an hour, he knew the future changes of Jinyang.

The surrounding villages will be renovated, farmland will be opened up, the refugees will be accommodated, and a medical center will be built in the city to avoid the occurrence of immune diseases.

After the initial stabilization, it is to settle the fields and turn the farmers into soldiers so that they can guard their homes.

If this is done step by step, will it be possible to save Bingzhou?

Asking himself, Linghu Sheng couldn’t think of a better way.

At that time, Liang Xi was famous all over the world, and he won the reputation of the first in political performance. It seems that the current Liang Inspector is not inferior.

Such a governor can be found wherever he is placed.

And does he need his own help?

If it is now, there may be some use.

When the troops are first formed, they have the same cohesive power as Shangdang. Will these underdogs under his command still be useful?

Tonight’s banquet, one sentence did not mention the matter of taking effect, but the meaning was clear.

It’s easy to send charcoal in the snow, but it’s difficult to add a icing on the cake!

If Liang Zixi has a firm footing in Jinyang, it doesn’t really matter whether he votes or not.

This meal is really worth it.

Silently closing the lid of the box, Linghu Sheng shook his head, now only to see how the future Governor’s Council will behave.

If the difference is similar, you can also consider one or two.

If the difference is too far, you will have to make an early decision.

“My lord, I didn’t say clearly this time, can Linghu Sheng make up his mind?” Here, Yi Yan frowned and asked the people in the seat after the banquet was over.

Liang Feng stammered: “This is really hard to say. But no matter who the court sends, he should think about it.”

This is not a simple issue of standing in line, but more about his own livelihood.

He has already laid out the conditions, whether to choose him or the imperial court, if he wants to come to Linghusheng, he should have a choice.

Pushing too hard will actually lead to a rebellious mentality in life.

Yi Yan nodded when he heard the words, stepped forward, stood beside Liang Feng, and stretched out his hand.

The rest of the words were all held back in the stomach.

After sitting for two hours, Liang Feng’s legs were already numb, and he couldn’t get up at all.

Just after the person left, he changed his sitting position and leaned in several directions, wanting to take a break.

Unexpectedly, Yi Yan had already discovered his embarrassment.

Avoid, maybe when you can stand up.

But accept…

that big hand with thick calluses and distinct joints was placed in front of him.

In his heart, embarrassing memories flooded up again, but this time, Liang Feng did not refuse, he stretched out his hand and let the other party help him up.

His movements seemed natural, but when he clasped his hands, he couldn’t help shaking.

Soon, Liang Feng restrained the strangeness, withdrew his arm, and walked slowly towards the other courtyard.

Yi Yan lowered her eyes and looked at her palm.

That feather-like touch disappeared in an instant.

Raising his head, he looked at the figure staggering in front of him.

If it was in the past, that person wouldn’t care, and would like to hang his whole body on him.

But now, it’s just a touch.

Clenching his palms into fists, Yi Yan kept silent and followed.
