Chapter 74 Taking office
The sky is clear and the wind is bright, and the fragrance of flowers blows across the face with the wind, making people unable to help but indulge.
In the mail pavilion ten miles south of the city, Ma Su, Qin Mi, Pu Yuan, Li Yu and others gathered here to set wine to see Yang Qing off.
After three cups of wine, everyone finished their blessings one by one. Yang Qing turned over and was about to leave, but Qin Mi came over and pulled the reins and smiled: "I am Mingzhi, all the wise men are here, and they are about to separate. Why not write a poem to leave the crowd."
Yang Qing nodded, closed his eyes and pondered, and then opened his eyes and recited loudly: "The city and the palace support the three Shus, and the wind and smoke look at Qiongdu. I am the same as a traveler with you. There are confidants in the sea, and the world is like neighbors. Inaction is on the road of the world, and children are all touching scarves."
This poem is simple and easy to understand, and everyone present belongs to Qin Mi and the most talented person. After Yang Qing finished his thoughts, he knew the general meaning of the poem.
I thought to myself that this poem says that the three counties in Shu guard the majestic Chengdu. Now Mingzhi is looking at Yueli County through the storm and mist. When he parted with everyone, he has infinite affection in his heart, because I am equally a person who is floating in the officialdom. However, as long as I have a confidant in the world, even if it is far away, it is like being close to each other. Therefore, you must not let tears wet your clothes like a passionate child when breaking up at the forks of the road.
Others were also talented and learned very quickly, and they also understood the poetry. Everyone did not want Yang Qingzhen to write a complete poem so quickly, and they all secretly praised him for his true talent and quick thinking, especially the line that is so famous for his family and close friends in the world.
Everyone was still immersed in this beautiful farewell poem, but suddenly heard a horse ringing. Yang Qing drove his mount, raised his right hand to everyone, and waved: "There are friends in the sea, and the world is like neighbors. You guys, I'll go."
Li Yu stood in the crowd and looked at Yang Qing's back as he walked away, and couldn't help but say, "Mingzhi is so cool." When everyone heard this, they nodded and said yes.
On both sides of Yang Qing were Zhang Yi, Yang Xi and Liu Yin. They saw Yang Qing farewell just now. The three of them also admired his talent. At this time, they saw him sitting on the horse with a calm expression and contentment. They all thought that the Lord of the Mansion was really a romantic and famous man.
Yang Qing finished reciting the famous works that he had finally thought of, which were in line with this scene, and he also saw everyone's reactions.
Sitting on the horse at this moment, the guy was as calm as usual, but he was complacent in his heart and couldn't help but sigh: Oh, it seems that he was pretending to be the one who was pretending to be again today.
When he went to Yueli County to take up his post, Yang Qing and his party prepared to take a boat from Chengdu to the Minjiang River to the capital of Jianwei County, and then turn from the road to Anshang County not far west.
Jianwei County was established by Emperor Xiaowu in the sixth year of Jianyuan. At that time, the county was twelve and the household registration was 100,000. During the reign of Liu Zhang, the county was divided into Jiangyang County. Therefore, there were nine counties of all sizes and tens of thousands of household registrations at this time.
When this county was first established, there were many barbarians in the southwest. Later, a large number of Han people continued to flow into the north, bringing advanced culture to Jianwei County.
By the middle of the Later Han Dynasty, the sinicization of this place had been basically completed. Although there were still many barbarians in the county, people at that time no longer regarded Jianwei County as a county where barbarians lived in the southwest. They even called this county, Shu County and Guanghan County, the three Shu County.
Jianwei County is 3,270 miles away from Luoyang and 150 miles away from Chengdu. At first, the county seat is in Xi County, and later moved to Nanguang County. Now the capital is moved further south to Jadao County.
The Jade Road is about 800 miles away from the northern border of Jianwei County, so Yang Qing and his team had to walk about a thousand miles before they could reach Jade Road. Fortunately, there were waterways along the way, which greatly reduced their burden and fatigue.
Following the outside water, Yang Qing and his party arrived at the Wu Road in a few days. The prefect Wang Shi had already received the news and personally led all civil and military officials out of the city to greet the riverside wharf.
"Qing has seen the king of the royal family. He is a junior. How dare I go out to greet him in person?" Yang Qing bowed to the king.
Yueli is backed by Jianwei, and the two counties are guarding each other's help. What's more, Yueli is only left to install one county, which is even more inseparable from Jianwei County's assistance. Therefore, Yang Qing respects Wang Shi very much.
"Yang Mansion Jun is young and promising, and is one of the few heroes in my Sichuan. The scholars have long been interested in making friends, but the two places in Chengdu are separated by each other and have never been able to meet him. Fortunately, you and I meet here, how can the scholars not come here to welcome him?" Wang Shi also clasped his fists and said with a respectful manner.
He was about 40 years old this year and from Guanghan County. He was a direct descendant of the Wang family of Guanghan. After the first emperor entered Shu, he first promoted filial piety and honesty. He started from Fu Jiechang as a former commander of Yamen and the prefect of Dangqu. He was very famous in Shu.
The Wang Shi was also very polite to Yang Qing. In addition to the etiquette that his colleagues with equal official positions should have when they pass through the border, there is also a reason why he has a good impression of Yang Qing.
Wang Shi not only heard of Yang Qing's talent, but also admired his courage to leave the Chengdu Central Committee and go to Yueli County to take up his post.
You should know that as the prefect of Jianwei near Yueli County, he knew the complexity and difficulty of the situation in Nanzhong. Among the three rebellious Nanzhong counties, Gao Ding, the most arrogant and arrogant. After all, the two thieves of Yong Kai and Zhu Bao were powerful Han people and had certain concerns. Gao Ding was much lawless as King Yi.
Therefore, Wang Shi was particularly curious about Yang Qing's strategy of acting after he took office, and kept asking questions to him on the way to the inn.
Yang Qing would have to rely on Wang Shi's help in the future, so he would be willing to communicate with him so that he could take care of each other in the future. However, he secretly thought that according to the current situation in Yueli County, he might have unilaterally asked for help from the Wang Yiqiang Palace.
The Wang Shi agreed with the help of the two counties. He waved his hand and immediately responded. Seeing that he was so happy, Yang Qing was a little confused for a moment, thinking that it was the Prime Minister who said hello in advance?
Yang Qing was only half right about this. Zhuge Liang said hello, but the main reason why Wang Shi was so easy to talk was that among the barbarians in Yueli and Jianwei, there were tribes from the same tribe from the same tribe. The two barbarians in the two places had the same roots and origins, and the same spirit was the same, and there were many cross-border chaos.
What's more, Yueli County is now occupied by barbarians. If Yang Qing does not support him to resist in front, the next person to face the rebel blade will be Jianwei County.
Therefore, whether it is to put the overall situation first or to consider the peace of our county, Wang Shi would choose to strongly support Yang Qing.
Therefore, the two had a great time talking, and they felt like they were right at first sight. The next morning, Yang Qing wanted to leave and rushed to Anshang County, but the king firmly tried to keep it on the grounds that the major event had not been fully discussed. Yang Qing refused and had to continue to live.
During this period, the group was led by Wang Shi to watch and visit the city Shengyu, and the officials in the city were also inviting banquets. Yang Qing and others stayed for two more days. It was not until the third day that Wang Shi could no longer keep him, so he held a banquet and sent him out of the city in person.
There are roads from Wudao to the Yueli County Captain Qiong, which passes through Anshang County, so it is called Anshang Road. Therefore, after Yang Qing and his party left the Anshang Road, they walked up the river for about 300 miles along Anshang Road and entered Anshang County.
As soon as he entered the An Shangdi Realm, Yang Qing changed into his official uniform and immediately asked someone to fight the prefect's ceremonial war. He ordered Chen Da to send someone to the county town to report the news, asking the officials in the city to prepare.
At this time, the officials in the county were mostly damaged due to the rebellion of the Yi people. Therefore, the officials in the city were headed by the county Gongcao Wang Yi and the Anshang County Magistrate Lu Shen. Lu Shen was injured not long ago because the Yi soldiers attacked the city. Fortunately, after more than a month of recuperation, it is no major problem.
He heard that the new prefect had an envoy to report, so he immediately did not dare to neglect it. He took the document from the person who reported the news and read it quickly. He saw that the seal of the signature was indeed the seal of the county magistrate. Now he no longer doubted it and felt relieved.
After Lu Shen sent the envoys to repay him, he immediately summoned the main officials in the city to come out to greet him, and asked Qu Chang Lei Xiong to light up a group of people and horses to go to guard him.
