"Yuzhou, I, Chen Jiu, am back again." Standing at the gate of Yuzhou City, Chen Jiu let out a sigh.
At the city gate of Yuzhou, colorful flags were fluttering, and there was a sea of ??people. The governors of Yuzhou and the families of major aristocratic families were standing there, waiting eagerly.
After all, he is the Third Marquis. This powerful man in Yuzhou City still has to give face. Even if he is dirty secretly, he must show a friendly smile on the surface. Otherwise, you dare to expose this Marquis today. Tomorrow the court will be wary of you. Isn't this a slap in the face of the court? The court is the orthodox one.
"I've met the Marquis." Yuzhou Prefecture stood at the front of the officials. At this time, after seeing Chen Jiu's bicycle frame, he bowed.
Looking at the parents of the officials in Yuzhou, Chen Jiu returned the favor: "There is no need to be polite, sir. I was just kicked out of the capital by your majesty. I came here just to visit the mountains and rivers. There is no need to be formal."
There is always an old man with a plain appearance around the state capital. If it were not introduced by an acquaintance, no one would notice this ordinary-looking old man. He is the housekeeper of the state capital.
After everyone saw the ceremony, the governor showed a smile: "Master Hou, I have prepared a banquet in the Yamen."
¡°Then I¡¯ll thank you, sir.¡±
Just as he was saying this, a big man came over with a full body of evil spirit: "I'm sorry, do you still remember me, General?"
Chen Jiu turned his head and showed a gentle smile: "I have seen the general."
This big man is Zhu Kui, the general of Yuzhou Town.
"I didn't expect that the Marquis would be a white man a few years ago, but in the blink of an eye he would become a new member of the court, a prestigious Shangsanwai. I, Lao Zhu, have been living like a dog all my life. Today the Marquis returns home, and he is not drunk. ".
Chen Jiu nodded: "I won't go home until I'm drunk."
The banquet was held at the Yamen of the State Government, and the person cooking the food was naturally not the chef of the Yamen of the State Government, but the chef hired by the big restaurant.
When Chen Jiuchu arrived in Yuzhou, he naturally went to restaurants in a low-key manner. This was not a place with underdeveloped transportation like in his previous life. The speed of the powerful Yinshen here exceeded the speed of light. Maybe what you are doing now, the emperor in Beijing already knows.
The Lord of the State Government is quite thoughtful. Chen Jiu secretly praised in his heart.
The sky is blue. Everyone held a banquet in the open air of the Yamen of the state government.
Chen Jiu, the state capital, and Yuzhou's nobles were sitting everywhere, and the courtyard was full of people.
Zhu Kui sat next to Chen Jiu: "Master Hou, when you came to Yuzhou, did your Majesty give you any secret orders?"
A smile appeared on Chen Jiu's lips. He gently put the wine glass to his lips and took a sip: "Since it is a secret order, how can you say it?"
Chen Jiu¡¯s words were ambiguous. The meaning of the words gave everyone a headache. This could be understood to mean that Chen Jiu did have a secret purpose, but he could not say it out. Another meaning is vague, neither telling you that I have it nor saying that I don¡¯t have it.
Zhu Kui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head: "This is exactly the reason, and it will be outrageous in the end."
As a Marquis, his status is naturally not comparable to that of a defender: "The last general will punish himself with a drink."
Watching Zhu Kui finish the drink, Chen Jiu took a sip and then said, "Mr. Mingyang has returned to Yingtian Academy, right?"
The Lord of the Prefecture nodded: "A few days earlier than you."
Chen Jiu understood and was thinking secretly in his heart when he heard someone say: "Master Hou, I am Liu Bonian, the head of the Liu family. Liu An is the child. I have heard that the child has offended Master Hou unintentionally. Please don't forget it." If you are a villain, please forgive me once."
"I, the head of the He family, He Tian, ??and my son, He Zhongguo, have also offended the Marquis. I would like to ask the Marquis to ignore the villain's fault and spare the child."
"I hate the head of my family and I hate you. I have seen Mr. Hou. My son once made trouble with Mr. Hou. I would like to ask Mr. Hou to give him a lot."
"I, Wu Ming, the head of the Wu family, have offended Mr. Hou as a child. Please forgive Mr. Hou."
The smile on Chen Jiu's face remained unchanged, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. These four masters were trying to intimidate themselves.
"They say it's the father's fault if a son doesn't teach. I don't think these young masters are playing games with me, intercepting and killing me on the way. Is it possible that this is also a game?" Chen Jiupi smiled.
"This,,," the four masters were silent for a while. They originally thought that Chen Jiu would be forced by the general situation to avoid the edge for the time being. Unexpectedly, he would directly confront everyone. Chen Jiunai was a high-ranking official pardoned by the imperial court. He had a distinguished status and occupied Naturally, righteousness cannot be compared to that of a few families.
Seeing that Chen Jiu was about to have a quarrel with the four masters, the small clansmen in the distance turned their attention secretly one by one, preparing to join in the fun.
Zhou Fu is a veteran of peace and quiet, and smiled softly: "It is a great joy for the Marquis to come here today.""We only talk about romance and nothing else."
Seeing the sharp light flashing in the eyes of the governor, the four heads of the family were a little unable to handle it. The general of the town, Zhu Kui, snorted coldly: "Today is a happy day. What will happen to the heads of the house in the future?" Besides, don¡¯t disturb Lao Zhu¡¯s pleasure.¡±
It is extremely funny for a general, a murderous general, to talk to you about elegance.
The state capital represents the imperial court's literary department, Zhu Kui represents the imperial court's military force in Yuzhou, and together with Chen Jiu, all the important figures representing the imperial court's will are basically here.
At this time, I am arguing with a few people, and I just can't get along with the court.
The four heads of the family drank a glass of wine with a smile on their face and said: "It's very, very true, I disturbed everyone's interest, I will punish myself with a glass of wine."
"Punish yourself with a drink."
"Everyone did it."
A banquet lasted the whole afternoon and dispersed when it was almost dark. The Lord of the Prefecture came to the study with light steps and took out a map that included the entire Yuzhou territory. Chen Jiu, Chao Xiaoyu and other four people The Taoist priest is standing in front of the map.
The Lord of the Prefecture took out a writing brush and circled an area: "This is the fiefdom of the Marquis."
Chen Jiu looked at the fiefdom, which accounted for one-fifth of the entire Yuzhou, and smiled: "I didn't expect Qingchi County to be so big."
The Lord of the Prefecture said with a slight worry: "Master Hou, this Qingchi County is the lifeblood of our Yuzhou. Most of Yuzhou's tax revenue comes from Qingchi County, and this Qingchi County is divided up by four major families. Later I also want to It is not easy to truly control Qingchi County."
Chen Jiu shook his head: "Your Excellency, you are overly worried. This Qingchi County is my fiefdom, so naturally I have the final say."
"But the four major families are constantly at odds with the Marquis, and they will definitely not hand over the control of Qingchi to the Marquis. After all, the Qingchi is related to the lifeblood of the four major families."
Chen Jiu showed a cold expression: "You just need to know that this is my territory. I have all the power of life and death in the territory. What will happen if the four major families don't cooperate? If they just withdraw obediently, that's it." , if they don¡¯t cooperate, I will kill all the members of the four major families in the territory until they cooperate. I don¡¯t believe they dare to resist. This is naked killing. If they resist, it is resistance. The imperial court committed a serious crime of treason, which happened to uproot the four major families. This Yuzhou completely belongs to the imperial court."
The cold meaning in Chen Jiu's words made the Lord of the Prefecture shudder, and then he changed the topic: "The Marquis will be stationed in Yuzhou for a long time in the future, so he cannot live without his mansion. I have an official residence in Yuzhou." How many seats, I don¡¯t know if the Marquis is satisfied or not.¡±
¡°With that said, the Lord of the Prefecture circled several official residences on the map of Yuzhou City.
Chen Jiu's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked around: "These mansions are all in the city, but some of them are close to the outside of the city. I have to meditate all year round. The city is bustling with dust and the dragon's energy is too suppressed."
Hearing this, the prefecture government thought for a moment: "Xiaguan has several villas outside the city. If the Marquis doesn't dislike it, just choose one."
Chen Jiu nodded and casually circled a mansion in the city: "I can't ask for this villa in vain. When the taxes from Qingchi come up, I will send you the money."
The state government looked out the door: "Here comes someone."
A servant in green clothes from the Yamen came in and said, "What are your orders, sir?"
"Take the Marquis to see the mansion," he said, looking at Chen Jiu: "The Marquis should go and see the mansion, I won't keep the Marquis anymore."
Chen Jiu clasped his hands and said, "Farewell."
Looking at Chen Jiu¡¯s leaving figure, the Lord of the Prefecture touched the paperweight on the table and said: ¡°The purpose of the petitioner is unknown. Things are about to change in Yuzhou. No matter who wins or loses, the imperial court will completely intervene here.¡±
After finishing speaking, the Lord of the Prefectural Government muttered in his mouth: "Push for rebellion, protest against rebellion, who are you asking for? Who is rebelling?". (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
