Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 398
Continuous rain, and biting cold wind.As for the Northland, it may be easy to guess that this is either the cold in early spring and winter, or the bleakness of everything in late autumn.After all, it snows in winter there.

Not so in the South.

Even in winter, with its natural geographical advantages, it will not turn the crystal clear water ruthlessly into biting white snow.But the cold is still indispensable.So what winter brings to people is naturally clothes that will never dry, and the sky that will never turn blue.

Therefore, in addition to the brocade hat and mink fur, there must be a pot of charcoal fire to keep the body warm.

Luo Yan was quite comfortable. After arriving in Yizhou, he sent people to plant the peppers brought from Chang'an in the backyard of the governor's mansion.After so many years of cultivation, it really came in handy.In addition to scallions and ginger, the harvested peppers are served with some condiments, and a few plates of chopped lamb.Eating hot pot over charcoal fire is simply a kind of enjoyment.

The governor's office didn't know how many officials were jealous of Luo Yan's life.Who made the original unremarkable chili, the soup taste so hot after cooking.Yizhou, which is located in the basin, is inherently humid. Ginger is usually eaten to get rid of dampness. Now there is an additional seasoning, so it doesn't make people greedy.

Ever since he was dragged by Luo Yan to eat hot pot once, Chang Shi Yangrui said that as long as he smelled the smell of chili pepper, he would come here to savor it.

Inadvertently, chili diplomacy has become a sharp weapon for Luo Yan to win over officials.

On November [-]th, as a loving dog who had honorably left the ranks of single dogs, Luo Yan invited officials from the governor's office to the back office with a wicked sense of humor.Although it was a pretense to invite everyone to dinner out of interest, many officials still shuddered seeing the somewhat mysterious smile on the corner of Luo Yan's mouth.

Be good, the governor isn't trying to trick someone again, is he?

However, when the cook brought the small stoves one by one and smelled the enticing fragrance emanating from the small pots on the fire, the officials knew that they really thought too much this time.

"Everyone has worked hard with me for more than half a year. I invite you here today to thank you all. During this period of time, Luo has developed a new way of eating. Most of you have heard of it. For today, I will let you all see it. Come and serve the food."

Although they are called dishes, they are actually all kinds of meat bought by Luo Yan's messengers.Since it's a treat, naturally it can't be too stingy, right?

Seeing that their boss is so generous, the officials of the governor's mansion are naturally not polite.One by one, they brought the food they liked to the table, imitating Luo Yan's way of eating, putting the vegetables and meat into the water, and scalding them.Seeing that it is ripe, take it out and dip it in seasonings, it is very happy to eat.

The banquet was in the middle of it.All of a sudden, the servants came running from the front office and shouted: "Masters, there is a messenger from the imperial court and they are waiting in the front office. Please tidy up and go to receive the order."

If it is an ordinary document, Luo Yan can still be calm as a governor.But when I heard that it was an imperial decree, I couldn't sit still.

Looking at the officials under his seat, Luo Yan smiled: "After waiting for two months, it's finally here. Ladies and gentlemen, go to the side room to wash up. I'll go to greet the imperial decree later."

Two months is not a short time.Some things have been able to make people gradually forget.It seemed that many officials in the seat were wondering what Luo Yan said.

Of course, there are many scheming people among them, so they naturally know the meaning of these words.He didn't ask any further questions, and walked to the side room very calmly.There, servants have already prepared water.

The road to Qianya is very short.I don't know who built the governor's mansion in the first place, but they actually built two very wide corridors.Even if it is raining obscenely in the sky, Luo Yan and his subordinates don't need someone to hold an umbrella at all.

Walking to the front office very calmly, Luo Yan suddenly discovered that the people who came to proclaim the decree this time were a bit heavy.

Zhaojun Wang Li Xiaogong.

At this time, he was sitting in front of the stove in a uniform, drinking the ginger soup poured by the servant very comfortably.Seeing Luo Yan leading a large group of subordinates coming in from behind, Li Xiaogong smiled, nodded to Luo Yan, and stood up.

"Mr. Cheng made me wait for a while. It is said that there is a banquet in the mansion. If there is no emperor's order, I would like to smell the smell and go to have a meal." Li Xiaogong spoke very politely, without any reason The lord and official position are slightly higher than Luo Yan, so he is a little arrogant.

For this junior, Li Xiaogong owed him a big favor.Back then when he was sick in bed, it was this one who cured him.Although they don't communicate with each other very often, it is really polite to meet each other.

Luo Yan bowed his hands to Li Xiaogong: "After the imperial decree is announced, Luo Yan will naturally treat the prince well. Otherwise, wouldn't Luo Yan be blamed for not knowing etiquette?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and at this time, the guards had already set up the incense table.

Receiving the imperial decree from the guards, Li Xiaogong recited forcefully: "Yizhou Inspector Luo Yan behaved improperly during his tenure and harmed the state. After a joint discussion between the court and the Central Committee, he was ordered to be immediately dismissed from his position as Yizhou Inspector and went to Beijing to accept the imperial decree." Investigate. Yizhou government affairs are temporarily in charge of Chang Shi Yang Rui."

A few simple words shocked the officials.Unexpectedly, what Luo Yan said earlier with deep meaning should be here.

After handing over the imperial decree to Yang Rui, Li Xiaogong said to Luo Yan: "This matter is causing a lot of trouble in Beijing. I don't know if Cheng Guogong is still in the mood to treat me to a big meal."

"Haha, it's raining heavily, King Zhao just wants to take Luo back to Beijing at this time, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient. If King Zhao doesn't mind the tiring journey, we will go to Houya to continue the banquet just now .”

Luo Yan knew that such a day would come, so even though he was no longer the governor of Yizhou at this time, he still answered Li Xiaogong openly.

Before this trip, Li Shimin specially called Li Xiaogong to Tai Chi Palace, and gave him many instructions.Luo Yan held the gold order and was able to mobilize all the soldiers and horses in Yizhou, so Li Shimin had to worry.

The reason why Li Xiaogong was asked to come was also just in case.

When the Tang Dynasty was founded, Li Xiaogong was in command of the soldiers and horses in the entire southern region.Today, many of the chief generals of the Yizhou Tianwei Tianjie lords are still Li Xiaogong's subordinates back then.If Luo Yan had any other intentions, Li Xiaogong could shock the whole situation.

So from the moment the decree was announced, Li Xiaogong has been observing Luo Yan's expression.

If Luo Yan would express dissatisfaction, Li Xiaogong actually understands it very well.It's just that this person is like a normal person, after the imperial decree has been read, he still looks like he should eat and drink.

It is impossible to say that Li Xiaogong is not afraid.

Luo Yan looked at Li Xiaogong's ecstasy, with a smile on his lips, he said cheerfully: "The food and wine prepared today must be eaten immediately, and it will lose its original taste tomorrow. Here, it will be a reception banquet for Duke Zhao, and also my farewell banquet. Since then, it has saved a lot of trouble."

After saying this, Luo Yan stopped waiting for Li Xiaogong who was still puzzled, and walked to the back office first.

Hearing Luo Yan's explanation, Li Xiaogong temporarily let go of his guard and followed closely behind.And all the officials in Yizhou looked at Yang Rui who was holding the imperial decree in a daze.Now this person is in charge, whether to follow Luo Yan or not, it is up to this person to speak.

In fact, Yang Rui was also a little pleasantly surprised to be able to temporarily take charge of Yizhou affairs.But seeing the officials looking at him one by one, he quickly put away his joy, and said very deeply: "What are you looking at, why don't you go in with Governor Luo."

He was not as short-sighted as these people, thinking that Luo Yan would never have a bright future after leaving.Reminiscent of what Luo Yan said before, he waited for two months, and Yang Rui knew very well that this matter had already been expected by Luo Yan.

What's more, the mountain man was all appeased, even if Luo Yan had done something, it would be worth the merit and demerit.

Looking at these subordinates whose IQ still needs to be improved, Yang Rui shook his head helplessly, sighed, and then walked to the back office.

A hot pot feast that seemed to be a joy for the guests and the host, kicked off the prelude again.

After the banquet, Luo Yan became the body to wear a crime.When the sun rose again, Luo Yan was invited to a luxuriously decorated carriage, followed behind Li Xiaogong's carriage, and slowly left Chengdu prefecture under the eyes of Yizhou officials.

I bid farewell to Dongyu in the south, but I didn't even have time to say a word of farewell.Except for the officials of the Governor's Mansion, even without knowing anyone, they went all the way to the north.

For a month, the rain gradually turned to snow, and the sky turned from gray to blue.The charcoal fire in the carriage was changed again and again.Finally, the majestic Chang'an City came into Luo Yan's sight.

Li Xiaogong outside the carriage finally let out a long sigh of relief.

To be honest, escorting Luo Yan was not an easy task.Not only must it be kept secret along the way, but Luo Yan must also be taken care of.Although he still chats with Luo Yan when he has nothing to do, he is not afraid of others' jokes when he speaks out. Without Luo Yan's official position, Li Xiaogong feels like a child when standing in front of him.

However, he is already close to fifty this year.He is almost 20 years older than Luo Yan.

"Haha, it's finally here. Duke Cheng, this time it's not only you, I'm finally relieved." When he said this to Luo Yan, Li Xiaogong didn't feel any psychological burden at all.Chatting with Luo Yan these days made him further realize that the young man in front of him must not be taken lightly.

"That's right. Don't tell me, I don't know if Prince Zhao is relieved. Anyway, I think I can finally sleep soundly in a house. This carriage wobbles all the way, it's really uncomfortable .”

Luo Yan followed Li Xiaogong's words, and didn't say anything unfathomable. Instead, he complained a little about the carriage.

　After spending a few days with the beautiful nurses in the hospital, Xiaodao finally returned to the cramped rental house.Finally, I can update the code words again, and this time the trail will never be broken again.Please forgive me.Still old time update.
