"The student begged Your Majesty three times to come to Yunzhou. These three times, the student himself felt uncomfortable. Fortunately, the teacher is here."
After Xie Yelan said this, Jin Shengchang understood.
The prince has an unreliable father who is incredibly unreliable.
Since Prince Ye took charge of the army in Beiye, he felt as if he had completely given up on himself when he returned to Geling.
He has a wife and children but does not care about his family. He has an official position but does not work as an official. He stays in a brothel all day long, with beauties in his eyes and dust all over his body.
But before that, he was actually like this, a famous good-for-nothing prince in Geling City.
Therefore, the prince knew from a very young age that it was better to rely on himself than on him.
The prince begged your majesty three times, once for himself, but your majesty refused. The prince should have self-awareness and understand his duty. After this time, he should give up.
The prince asked Your Majesty for the second time for the sake of his descendants. His father ignored him, so he cannot ignore his descendants.
Emperor Jade rejected him again, but the Crown Prince had to do it a third time, and the third time was for Jin Sheng.
Everyone in Yunzhou City knows that Mr. Jin was born in the imperial examination and has no background.
That's because Mr. Jin himself never mentioned that before he became an official, he was the enlightenment teacher of the four-year-old child in Prince Ye County's palace.
It's ridiculous to say that.
The dignified county prince's palace invited Jin Sheng, who was no more than a rich man at the time, to be the prince's enlightenment teacher because they had no money.
Prince Ye was extravagant and spent all his salary and rewards on his own. Even the food and clothing in the Prince's mansion depended on donations from others.
The princess asked Jin Sheng to visit her because Jin Sheng didn't need any money, just food and accommodation.
Because at that time Jin Sheng went to Geling alone to prepare for the imperial examination, and he had no relatives, so it would be best to have a place to stay.
He never mentioned that he was the prince's teacher, maybe because he felt that Prince Ye's reputation was too bad.
This resume will not make the robe he has worked so hard to obtain more beautiful, but will instead add one or two stains to the robe.
If he doesn't mention it, the prince doesn't have to mention it, but then he won't be the prince.
Xie Yelan has known what kind of person he should be since he was a child. If he is not, then change it.
If it's not easy to change, then punish yourself and force yourself to change. If you still don't change, then harm yourself.
It was in such a harsh and perverted way that he became the gentle and elegant yet decisive and brave prince in the eyes of others.
The crown prince who has nothing to do with Prince Ye.
"gentlemen."
The prince asked the maid to put down the clothes she had brought.
"After changing clothes, sir, he went back to the government office with me."
Jin Shengchang said quickly: "I am a minister of Dai Sin. Without the permission of the imperial court, I cannot..."
The prince said, "I came here on the emperor's orders. Don't you understand, sir?"
He did not say that he was an imperial envoy because it was not necessary. As an imperial envoy, he suppressed King Kitano and forced him to go out of the city to greet him. Of course, there was no problem.
But he doesn't like it and can't do it. He must do what he should do and let go of what he shouldn't do.
"Sir, starting from tomorrow, he will resume his position as governor of Yunzhou Prefecture and help me manage Yunzhou well."
The prince said: "Today, sir, I can't resume my official position because I don't want to meet you as the city lord today. It's better for me to be master and disciple. We can drink more wine."
He laughed and said, "The wine in Prince Kitano's Mansion was actually mixed with water. You think it's funny or not?"
When Jin Shengchang heard this sentence, his expression changed obviously.
The courtyard behind the government office is not very big. The wind in the middle of the night made the lamp sway, and the light could shine into every corner, but it all passed by in a flash.
A few vegetarian dishes, a pot of old wine, the master and the apprentice faced each other, but it was a little awkward at first.
After all, they hadn't seen each other for ten years, and Jin Shengchang never mentioned it, and even wanted to forget about it.
But for the past ten years, the prince has written to him every year, and during every festive season, he will send people thousands of miles to deliver gifts.
Therefore, he could never forget this relationship no matter how much he wanted to.
For ten years without interruption, the prince's thoughts made Jin Shengchang feel guilty and afraid.
Just when Jin Sheng was in a daze, he heard the prince ask a question. "Sir, what do you think the first thing for students to do when they come to Yunzhou?"
Jin Sheng said: "I'm going to be the official..."
He said two words and then changed his words.
"I don't dare to make random decisions for the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince should have already had an idea."
The prince nodded: "Yes... When my husband taught me, I once said that the person who understands me best in the world is my husband. Over the past ten years, I have continued to write letters with him, and he is still the person who understands me best."
.”
Jin Sheng lowered his head.
The prince said: "In the palace, I asked my husband, how can the superiors convince others? My husband said, kindness and power should be given together. Kindness comes before power, and power is above kindness."
He said: "I have been studying these last ten words for more than ten years, and I still only have a partial understanding of them."
Jin Shengcheng still bowed his head and remained silent.
The prince said: "I heard about the banditry in Yunzhou before I came here, and it was quite violent."
Jin Sheng raised his head and glanced at the Crown Prince, then quickly lowered his head.
The prince continued: "Since there is banditry, it will be convenient for the people. Mr. Tomorrow will open a position for me."
He got up and walked around the yard and said: "When I entered the city, I saw that there were still porridge shops set up by kindhearted people to help the poor. I was very happy, but I was also dissatisfied because that should be a matter for the government.
.”
"The matter of opening the warehouse tomorrow will be left to sir. Not only people from Yunzhou City can come, but also people from all counties under Yunzhou can come and receive it."
After saying this, he looked at Jin Shengwen: "This matter is huge, complicated and tiring. Thank you for your hard work, sir."
Jin Shengchang stood up quickly: "I will take care of this matter."
When he raised his head, the prince asked him: "Sir, will you go home tonight?"
Jin Sheng shook his head: "If you don't go back, I'll go directly to the treasury later to check the inventory and arrange the carriages and horses."
The prince smiled: "Okay."
When leaving the government office, Jin Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and already began to miss Bu Guxin.
Bu Gu didn't want to engage in any major issues concerning people's livelihood. He just wanted to overthrow King Kitano. For the past ten years, he had not stopped thinking about this every day.
But the prince is different.
Therefore, I will probably have to walk on thin ice in the days to come.
In the courtyard, the maid who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old leaned over and asked: "Your Majesty, do you want to rest?"
The prince shook his head: "Prepare the car and go to Qi Barracks."
At this time, there is only a few hours left before dawn, which is probably the time when people sleep the deepest.
In the darkness, the cavalry stopped at the entrance of the Qi Barracks and lined up on both sides. The people on duty at the Qi Barracks immediately stepped forward to inquire.
Upon learning that the Lord of the City had arrived, he immediately opened the door to welcome him, and soon after, drums sounded.
The prince stood waiting at the door of the big tent, letting people count the time.
The little book boy held a special hourglass and held it there. At this time, the silence was a bit ridiculous, and the slight sound of the sandglass seemed to become harsh.
The hourglass only lasts half a moment.
Big account.
Xie Yelan was quite satisfied when he saw that everyone above the rank of captain had arrived. When he came to Yunzhou, he first went to Beiye Prince's Mansion, then to Tianshuiya, then to Dalao, and finally to Qi Barracks.
But in fact, Qi Barracks was the place he wanted to come to the most.
"I am a very strict person, please remember, that's why I came to the camp at this time."
Xie Yelan said: "I am very pleased that General Yuan has managed the army well. I am very satisfied that you all have fulfilled your duties."
"From a few days ago, the Qi Barracks came under the jurisdiction of the City Lord's Mansion, so..."
He looked at Yuan Qingze: "General Yuan, as well as all the other generals, have been transferred to the Qi Military Camp by King Beiye to assist in training troops. If they are transferred to the city lord's palace, they will break the rules of the border army and be disrespectful to King Beiye."
Yuan Qing's expression changed.
Xie Yelan said: "I give all generals the choice to stay or leave freely. If you want to stay in Qi Barracks, you need to register as a member of the Beiye Army. After staying in the camp, your military position will not change, and your salary will be five times the original. One portion will be paid by the court, and four will be paid by the court.
The identity comes from the city lord's palace, so you don't have to worry about the court investigating."
"If you can't stay in Qi Barracks, after handing it over to the right person under your command today, the generals can return to the Beiye Army and report to the King of Beiye. Thank him for cultivating talents for Yunzhou."
No one expected that the prince who had shown favor to King Beiye as soon as he entered Yunzhou City would come to seize the military power of the contract camp that night.
Those who saw him going to Kitano Prince's Mansion yesterday had all changed their original minds and felt that the Crown Prince would not confront Prince Kitano in the future.
But once this incident became public, people's minds probably changed again.
Yuan Qingze stepped forward and said: "Lord City Lord, when we come here, we follow the general's orders. When we return, we should also follow the general's orders."
Xie Yelan nodded: "What you said makes sense."
He reached out to the side.
The little book boy immediately took out a bright yellow imperial edict and handed it to Xie Yelan with both hands.
Xie Yelan also took it with both hands and unfolded it.
"Order of the Emperor."
As soon as these three words were spoken, everyone knelt down.
The decree was very simple, so simple that there were only a few sentences in total. It meant that Xie Yelan would take over Qi Barracks and rectify the public security in Yunzhou from the day he took office.
Another meaning is that Xie Yelan has a sacred mandate and a sword given by the emperor. He is not only the city lord, but also an imperial envoy.
The status of an imperial envoy is limited, and it is specially designed to handle a certain task. After completing the task and returning to duty, he will naturally no longer be an imperial envoy.
But who can guess what the errand the prince has to do?
He did not reveal this identity in front of King Beiye, nor in Tianshui Cliff. He only revealed it in the Qi Barracks, and the meaning was particularly obvious.
"My ministers, please obey your orders."
Yuan Qing stood up and retreated.
"Wait."
Xie Yelan said: "Take this decree back to King Beiye and explain it to King Beiye for me. This is a holy will and cannot be violated."
Yuan Qing took the imperial edict with both hands, turned around and left without being sloppy.
But among all the generals in the branch camp, which one doesn’t curse in his heart?
The Qi military camp, which has been training for more than a year, has almost reached the level of strength that can be used to fight foreign enemies.
It happened that the imperial envoy came at this moment, and the fruit of a year's hard work was picked casually.
"As far as I know, there is only one person above the rank of captain in each battalion who is not a member of the Kitano Army."
Xie Yelan looked at Lin Ye: "Captain Lin, it's you."
Lin Ye said: "Yes."
Xie Yelan said: "It seems that no one with the Beiye Army membership above the captain is willing to stay in the Qi Army Camp. For the general positions of each branch camp, I will not arrange for outsiders to come in at will, so I will select them from the captains of each camp."
.”
Having said this, he looked at Lin Ye: "Captain Lin does not need to participate in the selection. You can directly replace him as General Lan Ziying."
Lin Ye cupped his fists: "Yes."
He did not shirk the blame or say anything else, because it was better for him to be the general of Lanziying than to fall into the hands of others.
Xie Yelan walked up to Lin Ye and said with a smile: "I heard that Captain Lin is only fifteen years old?"
Lin Ye replied: "Yes."
Xie Yelan said: "You are young and have a lot of potential. It's great. I'll give you more to worry about in the future in Qi Barracks."
He turned around and looked at all the captains and said: "General of the Qibing Camp, I will temporarily take on the concurrent role. When I am not in the Qibing Camp, you can ask Captain Lin for advice on everything... No, it's General Lin."
Soon after, Xie Yelan left Qi Barracks. When he left, Yuan Qingze and other generals from the Beiye Army also left.
Everyone looked at Lin Ye with complicated expressions.
Of course some people were envious, some were jealous, and of course more people scolded him.
Over the past year, everyone has respected Yuan Qingze and other generals. Lin Ye suddenly became a thief like the Lord of the City and picked this big and sweet fruit.
Under the early sun.
General Jiang Shengshang was the last to leave. He deliberately waited to find Lin Ye after Xie Yelan left.
"You have to be careful, there's something wrong with him."
Jiang Shengshang patted Lin Ye on the shoulder: "I have never advised young people to give up their future, but today I have to advise you, if you can't hold on anymore, go home."
He was about to leave, but Lin Ye opened his arms to hug him.
Lin Ye said: "If I leave, there will really be no one to protect those guys. They still can't see clearly. Everyone who can see clearly can't leave."
