The carriage stops slowly, Xu Fengnian lets off a burning a joss stick time to fish general Huyan Guanyin with the water jar, bends the waist to raise the curtain screen, saw that three ride to stop by the post road, has not worn armor, the rivers and lakes hand-to-hand fight in tights attire, is very neat, what is different from the martial arts world people are the waist wears a Beiliang blade, a young knight especially loses face/shows off, the surface like the jade pendant adorning a hat, the horseback hung not a big solid leather bag, inserts five Liuzhi short halberds. After Xu Fengnian sees these familiar faces, jumps down the carriage with a smile, stamps the feet, the cold weather, the post road ground is stiff, three ride to see Your Highness Heir to get out, rushes to turn over/to stand up dismount, Xu Fengnian beckons with the hand, hints them do not toss about overelaborately these overly courteous. Three ride is the Phoenix Character Battalion white horse righteousness from the family background, indistinctly becomes in Beiliang is that a handful person of good class origin and performance, let alone Hong Shuwen in three people close a service in the iron gate, impressive, grasps the double blade, butchered six palace guard and a gold/metal blade guard, the nickname Hong Henzi young knight becomes woof Zhi vice general now, in name is going against the long water Commandant official title, other day had also made an appearance in Longqing Prefecture Fish and Dragon Gang, this time called in the Lingzhou General mansion, Xu Fengnian remembers at that time with woof Zhi important person time, woof Zhi anxiety trembled, died parents' facial expression, then turned hostile rapidly, is laughing and playing brazen-faced and shameless. Wanted two realities to lack the Commandant government position with Your Highness Heir as the compensation. Xu Fengnian wanted his warhorse with Hong Shuwen, this long water Commandant rides a horse with robe Ze, four people three ride, in addition a carriage, goes to Huangnan Prefecture together. Xu Fengnian smiles to ask: „Hong Shuwen, did Ning Emei teach you short halberd?” 马车缓缓停下,徐凤年放过才一炷香功夫就跟水缸里捞出来一般的呼延观音,弯腰掀起帘子,看到有三骑停在驿路旁边,不曾披甲,江湖短打装束,很干净利落,不过与武林人士不同的是腰间都佩有一柄北凉刀,其中一名年轻骑士尤为出彩,面如冠玉,马背悬了一只不大的结实皮囊,插有五六枝短戟。徐凤年见到这几张熟悉面孔后,笑着跳下马车,跺了跺脚,天寒地冻,驿路地面生硬,三骑见世子殿下都下车,赶忙翻身下马,徐凤年摆摆手,示意他们不要折腾那些繁缛多礼。三骑都是凤字营白马义从出身,在北凉隐约成为最是根正苗红的那一小撮人,何况三人中的洪书文在铁门关一役,让人刮目相看,手持双刀,宰了六名御林军和一位金刀侍卫,绰号洪狠子的年轻骑士如今成了汪植副将,名义上顶着长水都尉的官衔,上回在龙晴郡鱼龙帮也露过面,这次被调入陵州将军府,徐凤年记得当时跟汪植要人的时候,汪植肉疼得直哆嗦,死了爹娘的神情,然后迅速变脸,死皮赖脸嬉笑着跟世子殿下要了两个实缺都尉官职作为补偿。徐凤年跟洪书文要了他的战马,这位长水都尉则跟袍泽共骑一马,四人三骑,加上一辆马车,一起前往黄楠郡。徐凤年笑问道:“洪书文,宁峨眉教了你短戟？” Always Hong Shuwen of desert alone wolf ruthless spicy makings side Your Highness Heir, the little darling collected the Yin offenses of many a person's appearance reflects what is in their heart, was several points of shyness, the nod said unexpectedly: „Rather General said that I somewhat with halberd talent, when with the short halberd, taught me again the great halberd.” 总给人一种大漠独狼狠辣气质的洪书文在世子殿下身边,乖乖敛去了许多相由心生的阴戾,竟是有些几分腼腆,点头说道:“宁将军说我有些用戟天赋,什么时候用惯了短戟,再教我大戟。” Xu Fengnian does not have deliberately to take the spoken language to buy the hearts of the people, after chatting several, progresses before wholeheartedly, rushes. 徐凤年也没有刻意去拿言语笼络人心,闲聊几句后就一心策马前奔。 Close to the noon, to the Huangnan Prefecture border small town, led a horse the line, in the town/subdues has the end of the year rural fair, the nearby village common people purchase the new year's goods, had the county administration government official to put up a stage to light a candle while this opportunity says the rare book, for the action of benevolent official group believers cherishing the people, but the Beiliang common social practice was valiant, to this kind of matter on only the lively joke looked, Liyang elsewhere state county kind to the act that the official the official career embellished , the quite solemn silence, said that the person of rare book must the clothes be pure, had the suspicion of neither fish nor fowl in Beiliang, slightly knew the writing the messenger coming up skewer field, Commandant that even some liked showing off curled up the sleeve also on. Mounts the stage to assume an air of self approbation, like Xu Fengnian at this time settling down far view, on stage enunciation unclear petty official, even if plays the same old tune, still misread the paragraph, some memory good the thoroughly cooked in heart young child has created a disturbance, children one noisy, side many Sirs still follow to boo, the petty official fell the face, stares to extend to refer, seizes a man to curse angrily, the man does not fear the lesser official prestige of this chicken feather signal arrow, the big voice abuses each other, then the young married woman also look of man teased several charmingly, the petty official was not really annoyed, had a big mouth, takes the opportunity to play tricks on that chest plentiful woman, where may Beiliang woman be able. Is the thin-skinned lamp which is economical on oil, several brave words meat words make to be red in the face the petty official, in such scandalous noise, said that mechanically stodgy the rare book also becomes the jubilation matter that everyone had fun. 临近晌午,到了黄楠郡边境小镇,牵马而行,镇上多有年关集市,附近村庄百姓都来购置年货,有县衙官吏趁此机会搭台点烛说善书,替父母官行教民亲民之举,不过北凉民风彪悍,对这类事情就只当个热闹笑话看,离阳别处州郡这类给官员仕途点缀的行径,也颇为庄严肃穆,说善书之人务必衣冠素洁,在北凉就有非驴非马的嫌疑,很多都是略识文墨的差役上去串场,甚至一些喜欢出风头的都尉卷起袖管也就登台去摇头晃脑,像徐凤年此时驻足远观,台上口齿不清的小吏即便是老调重弹,仍然读错了段落,一些个记性好早已烂熟于心的稚童就起哄,孩子们一闹,身边许多大人也跟着喝倒彩,小吏落了脸面,瞪眼伸指,逮住一个汉子就怒骂起来,汉子也不惧怕这点鸡毛令箭的小官威,大嗓门对骂起来,然后汉子的婆娘也眼神娇媚调笑几句,小吏原本也不是真恼火,口无遮拦,借机戏弄那胸脯丰腴的妇人,可北凉娘们哪里能是脸皮薄的省油灯,几句豪言荤话就把小吏弄得面红耳赤,就在这样不成体统的喧闹中,刻板迂腐的说善书也成了人人乐在其中的喜庆事。 Xu Fengnian looks all around, making Hong Shuwen look for the family/home restaurant, so long as pure on line. The group have had the lunch, continued to leave to go to the Huangnan Prefecture city, Xu Fengnian buys for Huyan Guanyin temporarily withstood/top the spacious marten hat, blocked from the forehead facial features, making her beauty be insufficient extremely to shock everybody, three left after Phoenix Character Battalion transfers permeates retinue of Beiliang place government from not to look askance, particularly Hong Shuwen, from beginning to end, Huyan Guanyin did not exist probably. Starts, is folded into a post road branch road by the rural fair, the state prefectures and counties third-level division of Beiliang post road except for outwardly on, in addition in many mountain passes, several can eat money the covert post road, seems like that the errand runners and minor employees of burden are raising with the large sum of money, if not the Beiliang financial resource is weak, Xu Xiao also has the great writer to carry out. But under the Liyang royal government in Zhang Julu insists, pays taxes „flowing out” to pour into north line border gluttony abdomen, south of the Jiangnan, mostly the post road varying degrees were abrogated the deflation, regarding this Zhang Julu reprimanded several proceeding to the capital place high-ranking officials in that stretch/open Lu very much severely, afterward has the new face slightly, the regression normal state, compares the post road at once in addition, Zhang Julu must grasp the horse politics incident personally, Sir Senior Grand Secretary not three heads and six arms, really cannot branch out too many energy to go in the post road reorganization to personally take care of things, moreover Gu Dang dominates the Ministry of War entire 18 years, Zhang Julu not only mixes horse Zheng, but also directly perquisite astonishing horse politics big fat bowl. Carried, Ministry of War high and low has the complaint, when therefore was in charge court eunuch Sun Tanglu previous time to walk Beiliang red, returning to nearby Capital City to say Beiliang business that personally saw, after mentioning the post road, making Emperor your majesty being lost in thought speechless very long. Xu Fengnian does not have the whip mounted constable to spread, the post road under Beiliang warhorse oppression of the people are developed, the itself/Ben is the double knife-edge, can guarantee soldiers and horses grain and fodder revolution rapid at the same time, if Beimang near 350,000 the army beat the Beiliang cavalry, that can cross the border in one vigorous effort, without a doubt, the road of going south opens access. Zhao Family bears and forbears to Xu Xiao, even the salt and iron incident turns a blind eye, in the past years the transporting grain by water entered coolly is not quite awkward, the Beiliang gateway has not for fear that opened the worry of calamity and Central Plain greatly, later makes Chen Zhibao confer the title of prince upon into Shu, does not favor Xu Fengnian to wield Beiliang Military Eminent, the royal government made the worst plan, if Beiliang Xu Family cannot haunch Zhao Shi northwest summer beam, the good and evil also has the Chen Zhibao Shu to take the second defense line. Arrived Xu Xiao Zhang Julu this level, schemes and tricks its consolidation resulted in the significance is not big, the technique power and influence, being in power wins the world. 徐凤年环顾四周,让洪书文去找家酒楼,只要洁净就行。一行人吃过了午饭,继续动身前往黄楠郡城,徐凤年给呼延观音临时买了顶宽大貂帽,遮住额头眉眼,让她的姿色不至于太过惊世骇俗,三名从凤字营离开后转为渗入北凉地方官场的扈从始终目不斜视,尤其是洪书文,从头到尾,呼延观音好像都不存在。重新上马,由集市折入一条驿道枝路,北凉驿道除了明面上的州郡县三级划分,此外许多座关隘之间,还有几条更能吃银子的隐蔽驿道,很多看似累赘的驿卒都用重金养着,如果不是北凉财力不支,徐骁还有大手笔要落实。而离阳朝廷在张巨鹿坚持下,赋税“流泻”倒入北线边境这只饕餮腹中,江南以南,大多驿路不同程度被裁撤缩减,对此张巨鹿在那栋张庐很是严厉申斥了几位赴京的地方大员,事后稍有改观,就旋即复归常态,加上相比驿路,张巨鹿要亲自抓马政一事,首辅大人也没有三头六臂,实在分不出太多精力去在驿路整顿上事必躬亲,而且顾党把持兵部整整十八年,张巨鹿不但搀和马政,还直接把油水惊人的马政这块大肥肉连碗都端走了,兵部上下早已心生怨言,故而当红掌印太监孙堂禄上次走了一趟北凉,回到京城跟前说了一宿亲眼所见的北凉事务,其中提及驿路后,让皇帝陛下陷入沉思无言境地很久。徐凤年没有鞭马快驰,北凉战马铁蹄下的驿路发达,本就是双刃,可以保证兵马粮草运转迅速的同时,如果北莽三十五万边军击败了北凉铁骑,那就可以一鼓作气越过边境,毫无疑问,南下之路畅通无阻。赵家之所以对徐骁一忍再忍,连盐铁一事都睁一只眼闭一只眼,历年漕运入凉也不太为难,未尝没有生怕北凉门户大开祸及中原的担忧,以后让陈芝豹封王入蜀,也是不看好徐凤年执掌北凉兵甲,朝廷做了最坏打算,万一北凉徐家撑不起赵室西北大梁,好歹还有陈芝豹的蜀地作为第二道防线。到了徐骁张巨鹿这个层次,阴谋诡计其实变得意义不大,术权势,到底还是得势者得天下。 Xu Fengnian beckons toward Hong Shuwen, said: „Hong Commandant, the Beiliang merit officer official with no real duties is as numerous as the hairs of an ox now, did not say Colonel Commandant, General also avenue, if I have not remembered incorrectly, Beiliang with the Liyang same law, the civil and military this official rank and powder official rank puts together reaches 70 fourth-order, in addition these scattered bestowing imperial honors on, the fundamental number cannot count. If my which day takes back all, or dispels most, you say, how can the Beiliang government?” 徐凤年朝洪书文招了招手,说道:“洪都尉,如今北凉勋官散官多如牛毛,不说校尉都尉,就连将军也满大街,如果我没有记错,北凉跟离阳同律,文武本官阶和散官阶加在一起多达七十四阶,加上那些零零散散的封赠,根本数都数不过来。如果我哪天尽数收回,或者说祛除大半,你讲一讲,北凉官场会怎样？” Hong Shuwen hesitant. 洪书文犹豫了一下。 Xu Fengnian said with a smile: „Spoke frankly to might as well.” 徐凤年笑道:“直说无妨。” Hong Shuwen sinking sound said: „Your highness, our Beiliang may really probably become a hopeless mess randomly. If the rear popular sentiment is not steady, in the border gives General to work oneself to death, now who is not tied down by care of one's family, does not meet peacefully. Said that humble officer Hong Shuwen family, the father because of the military exploit, was bestowed imperial honors on sixth grade cloud Qiwei in the past, some Second Uncle knowledge, sealed in Beiliang is not too common from sixth grade scholarly world court attendant, these had the grade not to have the title of duties, in the place was also the person of father's generation with the youngest brother gathered the face, really must say that sought money with this thing, receives flay, wants to do cannot achieve, if were taken away all of a sudden, the old fogies were also cool on the heart, moreover compared several thousand two money is not vexed. Your highness, humble officer spoke some innermost thoughts with great courage, this listened to the family/home the elder saying that the outside scholars came several thousand people, robbed the rice bowl to come with old Beiliang, this humble officer went to the Lingzhou General mansion from Longqing Prefecture, heard many baseless rumors, was disadvantageous to your highness.” 洪书文沉声道:“殿下,那咱们北凉可就真要乱成一锅粥了。如果后方民心不稳,边境上给将军卖命的,如今谁不是拖家带口,也会不安生。就说卑职洪书文的家族,爹当年因军功,被封赠了个正六品的云骑尉,二叔有些学识,也封了个在北凉算是不太常见的从六品儒林郎,这些有品级没职掌的头衔,在地方上也就是父辈跟老兄弟相聚时的脸面,真要说拿这东西去牟利,去收刮地皮,想做也做不到,如果一下子被拿走,老家伙们也就心凉了,而且比没了几千两银子还糟心。殿下,卑职斗胆说些心里话,这回听家里长辈说外地士子来了好几千人,都是跟老北凉抢饭碗来了,这次卑职从龙晴郡去陵州将军府,也听说了不少风言风语,都对殿下不利。” The Xu Fengnian nod smile said: „Many people gather partner to incite a cold wind jack-o'-lantern, burns very warmly Lingzhou government hot stove. Perhaps now also many people increase the fuel toward the stove in conscientiously, Beiliang this end of the year, was different from the old times, was not really cold.” 徐凤年点头微笑道:“很多人合着伙儿煽阴风点鬼火,把陵州官场这座火灶烧得很暖和啊。恐怕现在还有不少人兢兢业业往灶里添加柴火,北凉这个年尾,跟往年大不一样,真是一点都不冷。” Hong Shuwen a little wonders, can Your Highness Heir also smile unexpectedly? Because Hong Shuwen is your highness „officials close to the throne” the reason, young prestigious Hong this time in the place has not collected toward the crowd, lives in seclusion and declines visitors, pays no attention to the dispute, had been related the good family isolation to become estranged. Wants Hong Shuwen to go forth to battle not to kill the enemy ambiguously, Hong Shuwen has thought the man should upcast the head to sprinkle in the battlefield hot blooded, General that but also without becoming to bring honor to ancestors, has thought home to return to that dies in battle. May want his pointing out errors evil of the age really to want his life, since your highness asked this fishy scoundrel matter, this once dared a palm of the hand only to hit the half dead Hong Hen child mother 's married sister in the family to tell the truth. 洪书文有点纳闷,世子殿下竟然还笑得出来？因为洪书文是殿下“近臣”的缘故,在地方上小有威望的洪家这次没往人堆里凑,闭门谢客,不理纷争,已经被很多关系原先不错的家族孤立疏远。要洪书文上阵杀敌绝不含糊,洪书文一直觉得爷们就该在沙场上抛头颅洒热血,还没当上光宗耀祖的将军,就已经想好马革裹尸的归宿了。可要他针砭时弊就真是要他的命了,既然殿下问起这一茬乌烟瘴气的混账事,这个曾经在家族内敢一巴掌把姨娘打得半死的洪狠子只能是有一说一。 Xu Fengnian said slowly: „Acts appropriately to the situation, anxious slow is able to discriminate. That first decides in military commander step of grasping the real power, the army first do not bump, Hong Shuwen, first divulged the details with you, I planned that deferred to the Beiliang topography to establish 14 five Colonel, Colonel by domestic important mountain pass name, Lingzhou did not have the accident/surprise, only then three, woof Zhi will go saying that with meter/rice Cangling that Western Shu bordered on the fifth heavenly stem defended Lazikou, another two, gave holds the post of Han Laoshan of Lingzhou vice general temporarily, remaining made entire Lingzhou struggle, I did not believe that such big fat meeting smart person has not swallowed the bait, so long as became this Colonel, means to be able from large quantities. All day long emerges Colonel Commandant that in the petty trivial matters deal with, calls it a side feudal lord is not overrated, so long as some people are willing to take the lead the internal strife, the following matter is easier to do. Originally the Han Laoshan position, I plan to give you, but you military exploit does not reveal at present, Han Laoshan has the Xu Xiao banner behind after all, he to where can the obedience, you not be good, therefore I first place the Lingzhou General mansion to save the qualifications you, although I not possible to handle the Lingzhou government with the method of cutting the gordian knot, but does not see the blood, is doomed not to be justified, when the time comes will have a need for you, Colonel Commandant on Beiliang place, may not have many opportunity of chopping the person, should not be serious. In the future waits for me to leave Lingzhou, you must to the Lingzhou new provincial governor Xu Beizhi help, believe that mostly you know my relations with slow Cishi, the offensive talk says front, if he made the careless mistake, on your Hong Shuwen shoulder that head cannot repay.” 徐凤年缓缓说道:“对症下药,急缓有别。那就先把实权在握的武将本阶敲定,边军先不去碰,洪书文,先跟你透个底,我打算按照北凉地势设置十四个正五品校尉,校尉以境内险要关隘命名,陵州不出意外只有三个,汪植会去跟西蜀接壤的米仓岭道戊守腊子口,另外两个,一个交给暂时担任陵州副将的韩崂山,剩下一个就让整个陵州争去,我就不信了,这么大一块肥肉会没有聪明人上钩,只要当上这个校尉,意味着可以从大批成天跟鸡毛蒜皮琐事打交道的校尉都尉中脱颖而出,称之为一方诸侯也不为过,只要有人愿意带头起内讧,接下来的事情就好办很多。本来韩崂山的位置,我打算给你,不过你目前军功不显,韩崂山身后毕竟有徐骁的旗号,他到哪里能服众,你就不行,所以我先把你放在陵州将军府积攒一下资历,虽说我不可能用快刀斩乱麻的法子处置陵州官场,不过一点都不见血,注定说不过去,到时候就会用得着你,北凉地方上的校尉都尉,可没有多少剁人的机会,你别不当回事。将来等我离开陵州,你多半要给陵州新刺史徐北枳帮忙,相信你知道我跟徐刺史的关系,丑话说前头,他要是出了纰漏,你洪书文肩上那颗脑袋根本赔不起。” Hong Shuwen wiped the neck subconsciously, hehe said with a smile: „Your highness said in any case what humble officer does, does not have two words, but can ask a matter with your highness?” 洪书文下意识抹了抹脖子,嘿嘿笑道:“反正你殿下说啥卑职就干啥,没二话,不过能不能跟殿下求个事？” Xu Fengnian ridicules saying: „You how with a woof Zhi welldoing? Has the fart to put quickly!” 徐凤年笑骂道:“你怎么跟汪植一个德行？有屁快放！” Hong Shuwen said in a low voice: „Your highness, later in the border had the war, cannot forget Hong Shuwen.” 洪书文低声道:“殿下,以后边境上有了战事,可不能忘了洪书文。” Xu Fengnian asked: „20 years ago, so many people throw the army to join the army, that is which because to does not have the peaceful day to feel better, rushes to the glory, splendor, riches and honor to go, bets a gambling, refers to being able to wrestle a person in office erratically. But is different now, how your Hong Shuwen puts the calm and steady officer not to do, can go to the border to go all out? Ties up the head on the belt is very imposing? Said you do dislike on the ground do not become the high official?” 徐凤年问道:“二十年前,那么多人之所以投军从戎,那是因为到哪儿都没太平日子好过,都是奔着荣华富贵去的,赌一赌,指不定就能搏出个官身。可如今不一样了,你洪书文怎么放着安稳官不做,非要去边境上拼命？把脑袋拴在裤腰带上很威风啊？还是说你嫌在地上当不上大官？” So long as Hong Shuwen cracks into a smile, somewhat inborn Yin measures, „Hong Shuwen is different from others, is the comfortable merry day, particularly after your highness mixed, a day does not kill people on the whole body is not comfortable, goes to the brothel to look for woman of soft and fair skin to be happy, after being happy, feels chatty, must unable to bear twist and break their necks. This sickness was supposing could not cure , can only go to the border to kill people are good.” 洪书文只要咧嘴一笑,就有些天生的阴测测,“洪书文跟别人不一样,就是过不惯闲适快活的日子,尤其是跟殿下混了以后,一天不杀人就浑身不自在,去青楼找细皮嫩肉的女子欢好,痛快之后,就觉得腻歪,都要忍不住拧断她们的脖子。这病估摸着是治不好了,也就只能去边境上杀人才行。” Xu Fengnian smiles, shows neither approval nor disapproval. 徐凤年笑了笑,不置可否。 Piping time of peace, the common people sleep. A sleep/felt wakes up, the family/home still , the person lives, every day practical training, if can also 1-2 be good to read thinks, this is the good way of the world. 太平盛世,百姓睡觉。一觉醒来,家还在,人都活,每天劳作,如果还能有1-2好念想,这就是好世道。 Hong Shuwen in the common people eyes, definitely is not the good bird, but no Hong Shuwen with Li Hanlin this person, the Beiliang good way of the world, is not long-time. 洪书文在老百姓眼中,肯定不是什么好鸟,但没有洪书文跟李翰林这种人,北凉的好世道,不会长久。
