Royal Road

Looking at the young governor's book in front of him, Zhang Sima smiled reservedly: "I never thought Liang governor would come so quickly. Tomorrow I will call the governor to welcome the envoy."

He was born in the Zhang clan of Anping. Although his family is not obvious, his uncle Zhang Zai has a great literary name. The brothers Zhang Zai, Zhang Xie, and Zhang Kang called the "Three Zhangs" together. They were as famous as the "Erlu" of the Lu Ji and Lu Yun brothers. It is precisely because of such a family background that he can take up Sima Teng and hold an important post like Sima in his military mansion.

Now this Jinyang city is his highest position, the new governor comes, naturally he will lead the crowd to welcome him.

But this "welcome" can be exquisite. Going out of the city is welcoming, going out of the house is welcoming, sitting in the middle of the house is welcoming. But the meaning is completely different. He said that, obviously he was not ready to mobilize people. And such an attitude, for Liang Feng, who took office as a new official, is tantamount to disagreement.

It seems that the lord's expectation is not bad. Duan Qin smiled peacefully and said, "With Zhang Sima's words, the official will feel relieved."

The two Piliyangqiu chatted a few more words, and Duan Qin got up and said goodbye. Looking at the other person's back, Zhang Sima narrowed his eyes slightly. Now this situation is really no fault of him.

Before the state, Sima Teng was in charge, and the General Mansion replaced the Cishi Mansion. The "Shang Zuo" in the Fuzhong, that is, Chang Shi, Sima, and the Consultation Army, are the highest-ranking and best-speaking staff. On the contrary, as the official staff of the governor of the Assassin's House, he was engaged in different degrees of overhead.

When Sima Teng escaped from Bingzhou, he took Gao Changshi and Yu Canjun away, leaving him to preside over the overall situation in Jinyang. During this year, I don't know if it was because of fatigue or fear. The formerly incumbent did not drive and fell ill one after another during the treatment. The officials in the governor's office were all waiting for the arrival of the new governor before electing the governor.

Under such circumstances, he alone had the final say in the Cishi Mansion. If the court sends a prince with a military horn, then everything is easy to say, just follow the usual practice. However, the imperial court sent a bicycle governor who did not lead the rank of general, but appointed another candidate for the governor. In this way, the situation can be complicated. He was an officer from the General's Mansion, and he will be responsible to the newly appointed General Ningbei in the future. This is a question of stance, and there is no room for sloppiness.

The governor and the governor have never been harmonious because of the relationship between status and position. Sometimes it is even fought over because of the fight for power.

As Sima, he was responsible for the military affairs of the General's Mansion. Congratulations to a bicycle janitor, maybe what the future chief will think about it. But on the other hand, if he ignores Liang Cishi and is neither cold nor hot, the other party can't do anything about it. After all, the post of Sima was assigned by the court, and the military government had the final say. Could Liang Zixi dismiss himself casually?

This plus one minus determines Zhang Sima's final attitude. When someone enters the Cishi Mansion, it is enough to welcome them, why bother to fanfare?

In other words, this Liang Zixi is not enough. The Liang family is mere, and the family is flat, not as good as the roots of the Zhang family. Hearing the rumors, his marriage to the Jinyang Wang family also failed, and he killed a girl waiting to be married. Now that Wang Wen has left Bingzhou, the remaining Wang's offshoots are uncertain how to treat him!

It is important to know that a state’s independent driving and governance must be selected from the local high-ranking sects, who are originally scholars who represent local interests. At that time, it is still unknown whether Liang Zixi can suppress those Jinyang noble families with higher eyes. How to look at such a guy who doesn't have any future, it's worth Zhang Sima's bother to indulge.

In a blink of an eye, leaving the poor master book behind, Zhang Sima carefully calculated when the new governor would arrive in Bingzhou.

The bullock cart creaked, walking down the dilapidated street. Looking at the foreground, Duan Qin was also full of emotion. How prosperous Jinyang was at the beginning, although it is not as good as Luoyang and Yecheng, it is also a first-class city in the North. But what about now? The thorns become a forest, and the house is destroyed. The mansions left behind by the rich and powerful are more like ghost houses, withered and desolate.

What would the people look like in such a city? The city of Luoyang and Chang'an, which were besieged at the beginning, is the best portrayal. On the way, the people have dishes on every side, and they are not covered in clothes. His eyes were full of fear and numbness, like walking dead.

Jinyang just broke the siege, and the people still do. How can such a lifeless tired city arouse its vitality?

It seems that the man's plan is right, not to mention the dismissal, the most important thing is to let the people of Jinyang know that they have not been abandoned by the imperial court and their new governor.

With a sigh drifting by in the wind, the ox cart slowly swallowed and continued to head west of the city.

※

Ge Hong was still quite reliable in his work, and he didn't know where he got a vertical car. The canopy was replaced overnight, and the craftsman was ordered to repair the body. Although it is not comparable to the big cart used for the outskirts, it is also able to get by without any worries about breaking the rules.

Liang Feng ordered Yiyan to find two extraordinary Wusun horses. The two thousand elites they brought were also turned into ceremonial guards and followed the car. Everything was packed to a halt, and the convoy drove towards Jinyang again. But this time, it's not the low-key style when I came here.

The group of people came to Jinyang City in such mighty force. Seeing that it was the governor's car, the guards in the city dared to neglect, and immediately opened the city. Liang Feng boarded the standing car and stood by Shi. The wheels rolled, unobstructed, and drove into the wide Jinyang gate.

"Come! Really! The Buddha has come to Jinyang!"

An exclamation cut through the clear sky. In front of the motorcade, there appeared people's shadows, densely crowded. I don’t know where the news came, and there were people guarding the road!

Liang Feng had been to Jinyang City. Three years ago, he came for the Bon Ceremony of Huai'en Temple. At that time, Jinyang had just escaped the threat of the epidemic, and he was invited to come to worship the Buddha and pray for the people of Jinyang to eliminate disasters. Many people have seen his true face, and were even more shocked and impressed by the look of a god-man. The scene of thousands of people calling out the mountains and paving the road with flowers and rain is still praised by others.

And what the Buddha left behind is not just a matter of avoiding the epidemic. The star fell in Lucheng, the thunder fell in Yangyi, and Jinyang was besieged for a year, so that countless wives were scattered, and the terrible Huns and thieves who lost their lives in Huangquan had to retreat to the Buddha. Even if you don't know these rumors, you should know the porridge farm of Huai'en Temple. If there is no Buddha's initiative, how many people will starve to death in this lonely city?

The Buddha who could save them from their misery finally came back! Come back to serve as the governor of the state!

As soon as the news came out, it immediately flew around Jinyang inside and outside like wings. Those high-ranking and noble families, aristocratic families, have long abandoned this lonely city and left for a long time. Most of the people who stayed behind were helpless and poor people. They are not reconciled to abandon their inherent homeland, nor do they have the courage to flee far away. Like a bird in a cage, they are worried all day long, tortured by threats and fears. There is also the burden of defending the city, the military service, there is no way other than waiting to die, and struggling to make a profit before dying.

When can I get my head out? When will someone come to rescue them? !

Now, that person is right in front of you!

Above the high car and under the canopy, a jade-faced Langjun stood upright. He was dressed in court clothes and a crown of beams on his head, and the seal of identity was hung in front of him. The breeze blew up his broad sleeves, hunting and fluttering, like a canopy flag on his head.

And after that day, there is a strong soldier with bright armor. A team of ten people, walking side by side, vast and mighty, without end to end. On the face of those soldiers, there was a fierce and solemn expression, the spearhead was red, if it was soaked in blood!

The footsteps are like one, and the sound of hoofs is like thunder, overwhelming the crowd. The people who greeted each other in the middle of the road only froze for a moment, and then uttered a louder shout. Countless people knelt to the ground, crying aloud. They are saved! The Buddha returned with his King Kong guard! As long as this person stays in Binzhou, why worry about Binzhou? !

I don't know how many people shouted in the name of Buddha, stumbled and followed on both sides of the long convoy, rushing towards the governor's mansion!

"What are you talking about? Liang Zixi has entered the city, and has also caused the people in the city to join the road to welcome?!" In the governor's mansion, Zhang Sima's complexion changed suddenly and suddenly he got up.

how can that be? ! How many governors has Jinyang changed, and who can cause such a commotion? So how can Liang Zixi and He De, make the people of Qianshou like crazy? !

This can't work! Just a moment of consternation, Zhang Sima reacted. If the other party enters the city with this kind of momentum, but he sits high in the governor's mansion, I am afraid that Wanfu will be able to make him like a man. He must come out!

"Quick! Order the state government up and down, go out to greet you!"

After a lot of turmoil, Zhang Sima brought all his subordinates and opened the gate of the governor's mansion to welcome the new chief from afar. However, when he stood on the street and saw the scary scene, he couldn't help being stunned.

Jinyang has been besieged for a year. Before that, Sima Teng led countless high-level clans to leave Bingzhou. How many people were there at that time? I am afraid that most of Jinyang City is empty. And now, as far as the eye can see, all are people! Men, women and children, all dressed in various styles, regardless of gender or age, are like coming out of the city, just to welcome that one person!

And that Liang Cishi did not take the security car, set aside the Yi team, and walked in a proper way. He actually stood on a standing car, followed by two thousand elite soldiers, like a suburban sacrifice, appeared in such a deserted city with shocking deterrence!

The governor can have a private part, and even many governors were appointed by the court precisely because the private soldiers were too strong. But isn't this Liang Zixi promoted to the governor because of his excellent management of the county and his military merits? Could it be that when he repelled the Xiongnu, he did not use the county soldiers, but the private soldiers? !

At the front of the queue, a Jie Ren wearing a clear armor and a bright helmet looked over, a pair of gray-blue eagle eyes staring at the wolf, locking the crowd out. That gaze seemed to have chills and killing intent, making people two fights.

Cold sweat came out of his forehead. How dare Zhang Sima dared to neglect, stepping up to meet him, lowered his head in front of the tall car, and said, "Xiaguan Zhang Lin, respectfully welcome the governor to Jinyang!"

The two tall horses stopped neatly, and Liang Feng stepped out of the standing car, but directly responded. Instead, he turned around, raised the volume, and said to the people behind him: "Liang has entered Jinyang this time to relieve the danger of merging the prefecture. Although he is not talented, he has the heart and strength. I wish to be the emperor, the court, and This is Yang Yang Li Shu, do your best!"

His voice is clear and graceful, and his sincerity is even more heartbreaking. Where did the governor promise to the people? But this promise is comparable to a daughter!

Those who could hear clearly, and those who could not hear, all blushed and bowed to the governor who saluted them. Liang Feng didn't persuade them to get up. Instead, he unfurled his sleeves and said to Zhang Sima, who was a little stupid beside him, "I have a job, Zhang Sima will come out to welcome you. I am here for the first time, and Sima will lead the way."

The two words "lead the way" set the status of the two people. But what can Zhang Sima say at this moment? The official is humble, the momentum is inferior, and the public opinion is raging. There is really no other way but to listen.

With a dry laugh, he made an inviting gesture, led Liang Feng up the steps, and stepped into the gate of the Cishi Mansion.
