Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh one hundred secrets and one sparse
Song Qing sighed helplessly: "You are the imperial envoy, and we are all your subordinates. You can just tell me what to do. I will collapse sooner or later if I play with your brains."
Liu Mingzhi rolled his eyes. Do you think I want to be dirty? Isn't it all forced? People think that he was also a young pioneer with moral, intellectual, physical and artistic skills.
"It will get dark later. You can find a way to take the imperial envoy's seal out of the city and summon the imperial envoy's guards to enter the city. Lian'er and I will go to the Governor's Mansion first to find out the news. After the imperial envoy enters the city, he will first settle down in the hotel and directly send orders to the guards.
The food will be brought to the camp for the victims. Let’s let the people eat thin porridge first. If the porridge is thick, there won’t be enough food!”
"No problem, but what if officials from Qingzhou Prefecture want to meet with you, the imperial envoy?"
"No, just find any excuse. Lian'er and I will find a way to continue to find out some information, and try to make these Qingzhou Prefecture worms speechless and confess their sins on the spot."
"Okay, be careful. If something goes wrong with you, the imperial envoy, we will all be implicated."
"Don't worry, let alone the fact that I am no longer a helpless scholar, your brother and sister's snake is enough for others to drink from!"
Song Qing said no more and quietly retreated, disappearing into the camp of the victims under the cover of night.
After Song Qing left, Liu Mingzhi went to Chang Yunfeng, who was comforting the victims: "General Chang, I have a presumptuous question that I would like to ask!"
The soldiers under Chang Yunfeng obediently made way for Liu Mingzhi. They were not ungrateful people. Although Liu Mingzhi only asked Chang Yunfeng just now, the grace of saving lives was greater than heaven. They thanked Liu Mingzhi from the bottom of their hearts for his advice.
Saved their general's life.
Chang Yunfeng looked around and nodded: "Brother, come with me. Let's go to Chang's camp to talk."
"Okay, time to work."
"Yang Bo, take care of the victims with your brothers. This brother and I will come as soon as we go."
"General, don't worry. We are not the executioners in the Governor's Mansion. We all come from poor families. Whoever doesn't understand us should understand."
Chang Yunfeng patted Yang Bo on the shoulder and turned to look at Liu Mingzhi to indicate that the arrangements were made: "Brother, please come this way."
Liu Mingzhi followed Chang Yunfeng to an ordinary tent and sat down.
The items placed in the camp were extremely simple, a simple bed, a worn-out table and two chairs. There was a rough porcelain teapot and four large rubble bowls on the table, and that was it.
"Brother, please take a seat. Chang will pour you some tea!"
"Thank you, General Chang is also a sweet-tempered person!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the furnishings in the camp. At least on the surface, Chang Yunfeng lived a simple and unpretentious life.
"Well, we have no choice but to do so. In Qingzhou, there are nine disasters in ten years, either drought or locust plague. The drought is better and does not make the people miserable. Although the people's livelihood is a little more miserable, they can still have food to eat. But when the locust plague comes,
One year’s harvest has been completely wiped out, and now there are still dense swarms of locusts outside the city!”
Liu Mingzhi's face was filled with joy: "General Chang, are you saying that it's autumn and there are still locusts outside?"
"Yes! Dingzhou Prefecture has also been affected, and I don't know what the situation is."
"Please drink tea. A bowl of crude tea is a thank you for saving my life. It's disrespectful."
Liu Mingzhi, who was about to pick up Wan, saw Chang Yunfeng suddenly looking at him blankly, or rather looking at his feet. He looked down and said with a startled look on his face that it was bad.
It's really a sparse thing. It's too late to pray that Chang Yunfeng doesn't recognize his shoes.
The porcelain bowl rolled to the ground with a clatter, and Chang Yunfeng knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Mingzhi: "Chang Yunfeng, the guerrilla general of Qingzhou City under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture, comes to see you, sir."
Liu Mingzhi looked down at the moire-chiselled gold boots on his feet, which were embroidered with auspicious clouds. He smiled bitterly. It is true that the hundred secrets are sparse. He discovered He Qi's identity with the moiré boots, but he forgot about himself.
I only borrowed clothes from the owner who brought me to the inn without changing my boots.
After all, I didn't expect to have any dealings with Chang Yunfeng.
"You know the boots on my feet?"
"Returning to your lord, the boots on your feet are made of gold brocade with auspicious clouds and the gold buckles on the toe. They are the moire and gold boots worn by the third-rank officials of this dynasty. Only officials in the capital have this uniform. Officials in various prefectures can only
Wearing official boots with brocade moiré patterns, I will never dare to use gold threads and will not embroider a piece of auspicious clouds. I didn’t know that my lord is coming, and I am not welcoming you because of my humble position. Please forgive me!"
"You know quite clearly, I forgive you, get up!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"sit down!"
At this time, Liu Mingzhi actually had the intention to turn his back on guests.
"No, no, no, sir, please take a seat!"
Liu Mingzhi was startled: "It's okay. I'm fine sitting here. You don't have to mind. General Chang just now is not this submissive!"
"I'm humble and disrespectful, please forgive me!"
"Sit down when I ask you to, that's an order!"
"yes!"
The official position of Dalong is ninth grade and eighteenth grade. Chang Yunfeng is an official of the fifth grade and follows the third grade, but there is a gap of six or seven levels. The first grade is the highest, and the official level is overwhelming, not to mention that it is several levels higher!
If it weren't for Liu Mingzhi's forced order, Chang Yunfeng would not dare to sit in Liu Mingzhi's position even if he was beaten to death. At the same time, Chang Yunfeng felt a little excited in his heart.
He knew that the gentleman in front of him had some appreciation for him. A third-rank official in the capital was more powerful than his own governor of Qingzhou Prefecture. Although they were both third-rank officials, how could a governor in a remote place compare with a third-rank official in the second rank?
One in the sky and one on the earth.
It is true that Chang Yunfeng is upright, but it does not mean that he is a fool. Whether he can reach Qingyun in front of others is not an exaggeration.
Liu Mingzhi raised the teapot and was about to pour tea. Chang Yunfeng hurriedly stopped him: "Come on, humble job, come on humble job!"
After taking a sip of herbal tea, Liu Mingzhi looked at Chang Yunfeng: "What size shoes do you wear?"
"ah?"
"I asked you what size shoes you wear?"
"Eight and a half inches!"
"Eight and a half inches, about the same size. Give me a pair of your shoes. When I go to meet the governor later, I will wear a pair of ordinary shoes so that my identity will not be revealed. General Chang, what do you say?"
Chang Yunfeng was stunned for a moment and immediately understood: "Yes, yes, sir, just call me Beizhi Yunfeng. Please rest assured, Beizhi will definitely not leak out your arrival!"
"You just said that the rice used for making porridge is your Qingzhou governor Gu Zhiheng's own food?"
"Yes, you don't know something. Master Gu also wanted to open a warehouse to release grain for disaster relief. However, without the emperor's imperial edict, Master Gu did not dare to open a warehouse privately. He could only find some rich people with sufficient food to raise some donations. This was a drop in the bucket.
The people from the Dudu Mansion took 10% off!"
"Didn't you just say that the grain in the treasury was transported to northern Xinjiang for business?"
"Sir, I've only heard about humble positions! But it should be like this in ten cases, but it won't mean that you won't leave any food behind!"
"You mean the governor of Qingzhou is a good official?"
"This is what I think, sir. Please tell me something!"
"Well, do all the Qingzhou soldiers obey your command?"
"Sir, my humble position can only command half of the troops. The other half can only be mobilized with the command of Qingzhou Sima!"
"Well, there are advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Once the war comes, there will be no time to discuss things, but there is nothing we can do about the situation!"
Chang Yunfeng didn't dare to answer. Liu Mingzhi dared to say these things, but Chang Yunfeng didn't dare to say them.
