The prefect left, and Li Minglou prepared to write a letter and asked Yuan Ji to ask Han Xu about the latest news about Li Mingyu.
"The young master went to Shannan boundary to greet him in person, and received Han Xu ten days ago." Yuan Ji said, "According to the instruction of the eldest lady, the young master left him on Shannan West Road. The letter sent three days ago said that Han Xu agreed. This
No new news for several days."
"Han Xu's willingness to stay shows that he is attracted to Shannan." Li Minglou said.
The soldiers and horses on Shannan Road were in a bit of chaos. The road was built together with Longyou. Soldiers and horses were transferred from various places to join the chaos. There were three Jiedushi envoys on one road. The three Jiedushi envoys were always fighting openly and secretly among themselves. Before the rebellion, they fell apart.
.
Chaos is also a good opportunity. If you can take advantage of the chaos to seize Shannan Road, you can also seize the scattered soldiers and horses in your hands.
If Han Xu could see clearly the situation on Shannan Road, he would be reluctant to leave without having to express it explicitly. Rather than letting Daxia's troops and horses be in the hands of these useless people, it would be better to have them in his own hands.
Yuanji is still worried, Mingyu is still a child, and Han Xu is not a kind person, especially since he doesn't like Li Mingyu and has intentions for Jiannan Road.
"What if he wants to be with the people in Shannanxi?" he said.
It is not to cooperate with Jiannan Road to annex Shannanxi, but to annex Jiannan Road with Shannanxi. Anyway, for him, the purpose is to control more soldiers and horses to calm the troubled times. As long as there are soldiers and horses, whoever annexes them will be conquered.
Same.
Li Minglou tightened his grip on the pen, feeling a little nervous and a little regretful.
She should have sent Yuanji to Mingyu. Mingyu was younger than her and didn't know the secret. In his last life, he grew up under the care of Xiang Yun. Although Xiang Yun had evil intentions, he also worked hard to capture Jiannan Dao.
Help Li Mingyu.
In this life, Mingyu doesn't have Xiang Yun by his side. He has the generals of Jiannan Road to assist him in military matters. Who will provide support and guidance in other matters? Especially when dealing with these adults who have been immersed in the officialdom for many years.
In the previous life, she was not able to accompany her brother in person, and she cannot be with him in this life. She lost her parents, and her only relative, her sister, is far away from her. The ten-year-old child holds the Jiedu Envoy, and is sitting on tens of thousands of troops, gold, mountains and silver.
Mountain, are you happy?
He is the most pitiful child.
.....
.....
Soldiers and horses were galloping on the streets of Xingyuanfu in Shannan Dao. The people gave way one after another and asked questions with confused expressions. But in this world, it is impossible to find accurate information. Everything is in chaos.
"We are lucky enough." Some people also enjoyed the hardships. "In other places, the troops and horses are either in rebellion or insufficient. We in Shannanxi have sufficient troops and horses, and we also have troops from Jiannan Road."
"Didn't the young governor of Jiannan Road leave a few days ago?" someone asked, thinking of the rumors.
"It's not like he left, the young governor went to pick someone up." Someone immediately refuted the rumor, "A high official from the imperial court is here."
No matter how chaotic it is, the imperial court always has sustenance in everyone's hearts, and the arrival of a high-ranking official from the imperial court is even more reassuring, so everyone began to talk about this high-ranking official, admonishing the officials, reading poems and books, and being beautiful...
.As for what this high official did, it doesn’t matter.
Han Xu didn't think it was important whether the people knew what he was here for. What was important was that he came, that he was here, and that what he had to do was not just the previous assistant manager of Jiannan Road.
He is going to do bigger and more things.
"Doctor Han, it's great that you're here. This matter must be decided by you."
Two officials from Shannan West Road came forward and took Han Xu's hands.
"Master Zhang, the governor of Jiedu, has been waiting for a long time."
"Master Wang, the Jiedu Envoy, has been waiting for a long time."
The two officials belonged to different military governors, and one held Han Xu's hand. Fortunately, the third military governor hid in his own city and refused to come, otherwise it would not have been enough.
Han Xu nodded to them with a smile and let them pull into the hall. Zhang An, the governor of Shannan West Road, sat on the right, and Wang Lin, the governor of Shanxi Middle Road, sat on the left. Seeing him come in, they both stood up to greet him.
: "Doctor Han, please sit down quickly."
In terms of official position, Jiedushi was of a higher rank than Han Xu. There was no need to salute. Just saying "please" was a courtesy.
Han Xu returned the courtesy and glanced around the room. There were two seats between the two Jiedu envoys. He went over and sat in one of them.
The other officials in the hall stood in front of the positions where the wings of the wild geese were spread out on both sides, but did not sit down.
"Invite Governor Li to come," Zhang An said.
An official led a person in. He was a ten-year-old child, and it was still difficult to cross the high threshold.
He wore the same official robe as Zhang An and Wang Lin. The smaller version of the official robe didn't look funny because of his bright eyes and white teeth.
His expression is not pretentious and dignified, but bright, bright, innocent, and charming, making people feel cute and generous.
"Captain Li." The officials saluted the child.
Han Xu stood up, Zhang An and Wang Lin extended their hands to invite them, and Li Mingyu walked up to them, clasped her fists in return and said hello to the three adults, and Shi Ran took the remaining seat in the middle.
With all the chief officials ready, the hall began to discuss important matters of the government. Recently, there was a rebellion by rebels in the East Road of Shannan. The East Road Jiedushi asked for help, but should the soldiers and horses of the West Road or the Middle Road go to rescue?
It was still up for debate whether to go or not to go.
There were noisy discussions and arguments in the hall. It was the first time for Han Xu to hear it, but it was no stranger to it. Li Mingyu had told him about it when she picked him up.
"Master Han, Master Zhang and Master Wang are busy, please forgive them for not being able to pick you up." The young Jiedushi, who was wearing official robes and holding his hand like an adult, said seriously, "I also ask for your forgiveness for not being able to send you to the sword in person."
Nandao, I want to stay here to help."
This child Jieduzhi spoke in an official tone, and it was obvious that he was being taught, but after all, he was just a child who couldn't hide his stiffness.
Han Xu asked him what was going on and guided him to talk. From the time he got on the carriage to the time he returned to Xingyuan City, Han Xu had already learned about the entire Shannan Road from the confusing and disorganized words spoken by this little Jiedushi.
"Master Han is here at the right time. I will feel at ease with you guarding Jiannan Road." Li Mingyu said happily, telling him his intention, "After I finish helping Master Zhang and Master Wang, I will go to Linzhou to see His Majesty.
I... brewed good wine for Your Majesty."
The eyes of the child wearing official robes sparkled with childish cunning.
Han Xu smiled. He used to talk about making wine to coax children. Well, now children use it to coax others.
At first, Li Mingyu was reluctant to go to the capital and asked to make wine halfway. It was clear that he did not want to go to the capital.
Although Quan Hai was relying on Quan Hai in the capital at that time, Cui Zheng and Quan Hai were enemies and were eyeing him covetously. Jiannan Dao would not be stupid enough to send him to his door at that time and fall into the vortex of the struggle between the two.
Now that the wine is finally ready, what I want to give to His Majesty is not the wine, but himself.
The emperor ordered the guards stationed there not to enter the capital. In fact, there was still a shortage of soldiers and horses. Li Mingyu went to Linzhou to be with his majesty at this time, and he would definitely be put into great use. He was young and originally disobeyed the crowd, but if he grew up in front of the emperor, he would be able to wield a sword.
The soldiers and horses of Nandao protected the emperor, which was very different in the eyes of the emperor and in the eyes of the world.
"I have wanted to leave for a long time, but Master Zhang and Master Wang are worried about Jiannan Road. If Jiannan Road is in chaos, they will be in danger, so they don't want me to leave." Li Mingyu said, looking at Han Xu's excited expression,
"It's alright now. Master Han is here. With Master Han here, Jiannan Road is worry-free."
Han Xu burst out laughing. He could still respond to the compliments from adults, but he couldn't help laughing when the children said it. In fact, it would be better to let the person behind the scenes talk to him, and everyone would be better at acting.
Children are children after all, and acting will always make people laugh.
Of course he understands Jiannan Dao's plan. He didn't want him to come to Jiannan Dao before, but now he really wants him to go to Jiannan Dao. Firstly, he has the emperor's destiny, which is enough to scare the world. Secondly, Li Mingyu grew up in front of the emperor.
Who can take away his Jiannan Dao? When the time comes, Han Xu will still be in control of Jiannan Dao whether he is alive or dead.
Han Xu didn't care about the child's imaginative future, the most important thing was now.
"Captain Li, I suggest you wait until the crisis in Shannan is resolved before leaving," he said.
It seemed that no one taught him how to deal with this. It was obvious that the people behind it didn't care about the crisis in Shannan Road, and even took pleasure in its misfortune. Li Mingyu's expression was that of a child's curiosity: "It's hard to understand, they have been discussing it for a long time."
"Then let us help them." Han Xu smiled and made a request, "If you don't help, even if I go to Jiannan Road, Jiannan Road will not be worry-free."
If you don't help me, I won't help you, and you won't want to go to the emperor to build up your prestige.
The young Jiedushi didn't make a decision immediately. He went back and thought about it all night, and told Han Xu that he agreed the next day.
"Master Han and Jiannan Road are one. We will do what you say." The child shook Han Xu's hand with a sincere expression, "I don't have a father anymore, and I would like to treat you as my uncle."
The child who lost his father was indeed very pitiful. Han Xu sighed softly and reached out to touch Li Mingyu's shoulder. His expression was sympathetic but his eyes were cold. The child who lost his father was very pitiful. He should put down his military skills, otherwise there would be no one else.
No one will pity him, and no one will treat him as a child. This is the cruel world.
The thought flashed across his mind, and Han Xu stood up, interrupting the noisy argument in the hall.
"Everyone, please let me help Shannan East Road." He said loudly.
The hall was quiet and everyone looked at him and breathed a sigh of relief. It was great that someone was finally willing to jump out.
