Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1633
In the twelfth lunar month of the 15th year of Zhenguan, Fang Junzuo, the minister of the Ministry of War, asked the emperor to set up a governor's mansion in Da Nang.Just after the 16th day of the first lunar month in the [-]th year of Zhenguan, the request was transferred to the Zhengshitang by the emperor, and the prime ministers agreed after discussion. The Governor's Mansion of Da Nang was formally established under the Ministry of War.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was no post of governor-general, and the treatment should be compared with that of the governor, from the third rank.

The post of Governor of Da Nang was held by Fang Jun, but Fang Jun had to stay in Chang’an to preside over the training of recruits at the Youtun Guard and the construction of the Foundry Bureau.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not care about this matter.

After all, in the eyes of the people of Tang Dynasty, Da Nang is too far away, and it is only a place with a radius of tens of miles. Even if the tax is amazing, so what?In the minds of the central officials, no matter how great the interests are, they cannot beat the power. Without the support of the corresponding power, the huge interests will even suffer from it.

Because Da Nang is not so much the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it is better to say that it is the independent kingdom of Fang Jun...

Fang Junyuan is in Chang'an, but a group of sailors will bow to him and obey him, and firmly control the garrison in Da Nang. Who can intervene?

If Mao rashly pressured Fang Jun, and his cronies put him in, it would be easy to be squeezed out. Lin Yiguo is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and the emperor is far away. It's not surprising that you accidentally disappeared...

At that time, stealing chickens will not cost you a lot of rice, so why bother?
The most important thing is that with Fang Jun firmly in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, he has a new army in the right guard, and Li Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War, has been stranded in the Western Regions and has not returned... All signs point to Fang Jun's road to promotion Unstoppable, it will be a matter of time to be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, and it will be even more inevitable for the future prince to ascend to the court after he ascends the throne.

Facing such upstarts in court and China, it's not that you can't offend him, but you have to weigh whether the benefits He will get after committing Fang Jun's crimes are worthwhile...

Obviously, the current Da Nang is still not in the eyes of a group of big bosses. Fang Jun is willing to toss with Lin Yiguo and follow him. As long as he doesn't get caught by everyone, no one will make trouble for Fang Jun without a wink.

*****
Governor's Palace in Da Nang.

A row of tall coconut trees stands proudly in the yard, all the leaves swaying gently with the breeze, the sea water in the distance is clear, the sky is blue, full of strong southern style.

In the study, Liu Rengui, dressed in official robes, sat upright, and in front of him was Pei Xingjian who had just arrived in Da Nang...

Liu Rengui stared at Pei Xingjian, wondering: "Why did you come here to keep the promise? There is nothing to do in Huating Town?"

As the first shipping department of Datang, the shipping department of Huating Town, which controls all sea trade transactions, has long been a pearl of Datang Oriental. Every move attracts the eyes of merchants all over the world. The turmoil in the Tang Dynasty and surrounding countries...

However, the actual person in charge of Huating Town came to Da Nang without anyone noticing.

How could this not surprise Liu Rengui?
Pei Xingjian sat on the chair, wiped the sweat on his face with the wet handkerchief in his hand, and complained: "Mother! What the hell is the weather in Da Nang? It's so hot that people can't breathe, and the sweat will not disappear after getting off the boat." But, it's really hard for you to stay..."

Liu Rengui didn't think so, just looked at Pei Xingjian, and didn't say anything.

Pei Xingjian complained a few words, wiped off his sweat, threw the handkerchief aside, took out two letters from his pocket, and handed them to Liu Rengui.

"One is from the governor, and the other is from Mrs. Wu. You read it first, and we'll talk later."

Liu Rengui took it, without hesitation, he opened Su Dingfang's letter first and read it first.

As a former member of the Fang family, his relationship with Wu Meiniang is naturally much closer than others, but he knows that since Wu Meiniang wrote the letter in his own name, it must be a private matter, and Su Dingfang, as his immediate boss, naturally has a business to explain.

It is the principle of Liu Rengui's work to put public affairs before private affairs.

After reading it at a glance, Liu Rengui put no expression on his face, put the letter aside for the time being, and then opened Wu Meiniang's letter.

After reading it, a pair of thick eyebrows were tightly furrowed...

After pondering for a while, Liu Rengui asked, "Has Shou Yue ever read these two letters?"

Pei Xingjian said frankly: "Naturally, I have read the letter from the governor. At that time, the governor wrote this letter in front of someone. As for Mrs. Wu's letter, I haven't read it..."

Liu Rengui hesitated for a moment, handed Wu Meiniang's letterhead to Pei Xingjian, and said, "Let's take a look, maybe the things explained in these two letters can be handled together."

Pei Xingjian naturally knew what Su Dingfang had told Liu Rengui, and he came here because of it, but why should he show Mrs. Wu's private letter?
And can the things explained in the two letters be done together?
Slightly puzzled, Pei Xingjian took the letter, read it carefully, then raised his head, and looked at Liu Rengui in disbelief...

After a while, Liu Rengui took out a fire folder from under the desk, took off the cover and blew it on, the orange flame ignited unsteadily, put the two letters together, burned instantly, turned into a piece of ashes, and fell to the ground .

Pei Xingjian narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about it and said: "The situation in Lin Yiguo is unstable now, and Fan's father and son are secretly accumulating strength, and they seem to want to bite back. The governor reported this matter to Erlang, and Erlang's intention was to strike first, Secretly divide the various forces in Lin Yiguo, even if we don't eradicate Fan's father and son, we must support another Shili, and use it for me to contain Fan's father and son... and Wu Niangzi's request..."

After a pause, Pei Xingjian's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "You mean..."

He was halfway through speaking, but Liu Rengui knew that he understood what he meant, so he nodded slightly.

Pei Xingjian slapped his hands and praised: "Okay, no wonder Erlang entrusted Brother Liu with the responsibility of guarding Da Nang. This kind of resourcefulness and resourcefulness, my younger brother is willing to bow down! If I knew this, why did my younger brother travel all the way across the ocean? Isn't this looking for guilt!"

Liu Rengui said modestly: "Where is this talking? In terms of wisdom and strategy, brother Yu is more than a hundred thousand miles away from keeping the promise? The governor sent you here to make suggestions..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Pei Xingjian hurriedly stopped Liu Rengui's flattery, rolled his eyes and said, "You don't need money to say good things, right? Don't talk about those useless things. With you presiding, Da Nang is safe. The matter of the governor and Mrs. Wu is just a slap in the face. But Since the younger brother is here, he can't just go back like this, I've heard that Linyi Country has a rich variety of seafood, so hurry up and bring this gluttonous food to me, and I won't be able to bear the hardship of traveling thousands of miles!"

Born as a descendant of Pei Xingjian's family, although in Huating Town, he has become the best among the second ancestors of Chang'an, but the luxury habits of the past have not faded, and Zhongming Ding Ding is a favorite of his heart, and he came to this foreign land , Is there any reason not to taste some local specialties?

Liu Rengui laughed loudly and said: "That's needless to say? Just a few days ago, a wealthy businessman in Chang'an gave Brother Yu ten urns of strong wine, and he took care to arrange today's affairs, so we brothers will never go home without getting drunk!"

Hearing about the "spirited wine" son, Pei Xingjian immediately looked bitter and complained endlessly.

As a top dandy, how can he not be good at drinking?
However, even Pei Xingjian, who is quite conceited about his drinking capacity, never fails to get drunk when facing Liu Rengui, who can be called a "wine jar"...

During this trip to Da Nang, you may not be able to enjoy much food, and you must not be able to escape if you are fascinated by it.

Liu Rengui put away his joke, and asked Pei Xingjian, "Are the Wu brothers on the pier now?"

Pei Xingjian also became serious, nodded and said: "Exactly, the younger brother's people have been staring at them. Originally, it was because of Wu Niangzi's brother's affection, thinking that they should take care of them no matter what, but I don't know...haha."

With a sneer, his expression was grim.

Liu Rengui called his two confidantes in, beckoned to them, and whispered...

*****
One after another, merchant ships were loading and unloading goods on the pier. Countless civilians were rushing to and fro, shouting and shouting. The whole pier was noisy and bustling.

The Wu brothers got off the boat together with their family members, looking at the piles of goods piled up by the people on the pier, quite dizzy...

"Mother! Who would have thought that a barbaric country in a foreign land thousands of miles away would have such a prosperous place?"

Wu Yuanshuang looked around with his eyes wide open, with a shocked expression on his face.

Wu Yuanqing sighed and said, "That's not right. Before Fang Er came here, it was said that this place was desolate and withered... Do you see that? The entire wharf is almost full of merchants from the Tang Dynasty. How can this be a foreign country? It is clearly the Tang Dynasty O territory!"

That is to say, but in the end it is the place where the people of Linyi were born and raised, there are always a few people from the country of Linyi.

Not far from the Wu family, a thin Linyi man trotted over, with a wretched smile on his face with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks...
