Chapter 436 A Visit to Suzhou

Liu Xuchang has no close relationship with the Ning family. It was purely out of righteousness that he agreed to the magistrate to succeed Du Bailiang as the acting county magistrate of Anhong County. Later, a series of things happened that made him very disappointed with the emperor. Later, when Qiu Zhuo came to power, he became even more I couldn't bear it anymore, so I turned around and went to Lingnan, where I joined Ning's family.

Later, when Ning Chengyun was successful, he was named prime minister, but with Qiu Zhuo’s lessons learned, the candidate for the position of prime minister is not fixed, usually he is selected from the best, and the shortest is three to five years, and the longest is ten or so years. Anyway, it is impossible for a person to die of old age in this position.

Liu Xuchang had been prime minister for many years, and he knew that it was time for him to abdicate, so he didn't refuse when the emperor asked him this question.

"That old man! Feng Shui turns around, he probably didn't expect that he would have such a day! Sure enough, the emperor knows how to employ people. Mr. Liu is very good, very good, and he will definitely make Lingnan a higher level!" Du Bailiang said in front of everyone for the first time Facing Liu Xuchang, he gave affirmation.

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched violently when they heard the words, and even the imperial envoy couldn't listen, and hurriedly said: "Master Liu, you can go back and prepare for the handover of government affairs, but Master Liu entrusts you with a message, he is not Marquis Pingnan , so please don’t play tricks, if the matter is not clear, he will not care about it afterwards, and the emperor also agreed.”

In fact, Liu Xuchang was not so polite and euphemistic when he spoke. At that time, he gave Duke Ding a serious meal in front of the emperor and all civil and military officials, and told everyone how he cheated Nanhou back then. All the officials listened with gusto, but the emperor's face became darker and darker, but it was hard to stop him.

In the end, Liu Xuchang cried for his life again. If he wanted to take over the duke's mess, the emperor would go berserk. After some haggling, the emperor had no choice but to agree to his clumsy demands.

Du Bailiang's face darkened in an instant, and he cursed: "I know that bastard is not a good guy, he said bad things about me and made demands on me, bah! I'm not serving you anymore! Let him hand over to Mr. Chen!"

The imperial envoy saw Du Bailiang's posture of turning his face faster than turning over a book, and shut up instantly, fearing that Duke Ding would really pick someone up if he continued, and he would not be able to deal with the job at that time.

That being said, Du Bailiang couldn't really just run away like this. He just waited until Liu Xuchang's men arrived in Lingnan before he patted his ass and left. , the emperor rewarded you with the mansion and Zhuangzi in Xijing, and it will not be a problem to support your family, do you want to go back to Xijing with the old man?"

Tang Junsheng shook his head without thinking, and said with his hands behind his back: "If there were no natural disasters and man-made disasters, I should be an honest carpenter in my life. I lived an ordinary and humble life in the Northwest, and came to Lingnan after several twists and turns. After so many years of hard work, I finally gave I can't let go of the money I've accumulated, and there are relatives and friends I care about here, so I can't let go of them.

Please send me a message, please, thank the emperor for the reward, and tell Ah Ning that her father has no plans to go out of Lingnan in this life. From now on, this is the root of the Tang family, and I will die here even if I die. , but they are different in Chenxi Chenwang. They have such a family background, but they still want to venture out, so I want to trouble the Duke to take them to Xijing, where they will study for a few years and take an imperial examination. As an official, I can wake up with a smile even in my dreams! "

Although Uncle Kaiyuan's title sounds nice, it is just a title, and the foundation of the world is for the children to strive for themselves.

Du Bailiang could understand Tang Junsheng's insistence, so he didn't persuade Tang Junsheng much. He nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, the old man will definitely bring the words to you, but if you have time, I still want to go to Xijing to see the world and see your family Aning. This girl is about to run away from the world, envy, envy!"

Du Bailiang laughed heartily, and gradually drifted away with the sailing ship.

Dingguogong's ships went northward, and they could still see many patrolling and training navies in the area from Lingnan to Fujianguan. There is an endless stream of merchant ships, and there are fishing boats yelling at the sea, which is very lively.

After entering the Grand Canal, the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River came into view. After experiencing decadence, it was reborn, and it was far more prosperous than when the Great Zhou Dynasty was at its most prosperous.

Of course, this is all due to Tang Ning. She was in charge of Jiangnan for a short period of time, dredging waterways, building water conservancy, and achieved remarkable results. There is no longer a flood here every year. Naturally, the life of the people is getting better and better. It can be said that as long as you settle in Jiangnan, you can work hard. If you are diligent and willing to live, life will not be difficult.

Even a penniless homeless man who is willing to endure hardships and stand hard work in Jiangnan for a few years can buy himself a residence, marry a wife in a few years, and live a stable life.

Feeling the prosperity, Du Bailiang's mouth involuntarily raised his lips. Passing through Suzhou City, he suddenly remembered the place where Tang Ning said that Urumata was buried. Curiously, he asked the boat to look at it, and walked off the boat to wander in the city.

The prefect of Suzhou came to visit upon receiving the news, and Du Bailiang said bluntly, "I want to see the place where Urumata is buried."

The prefect of Suzhou was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly arranged.

When the group arrived at the place, Du Bailiang stood in the gazebo admiring the surrounding customs, and asked suspiciously, "Where is the person buried?"

The prefect of Suzhou pointed at his feet speechlessly, "What about here?"

"Huh?" Du Bailiang looked down at his feet, a little puzzled.

The prefect of Suzhou explained: "This was originally a house, to be precise, several houses were joined together to build a mansion, and Niomata built an underground secret room here, intending to invite you into the urn to avenge Qiu Zonglie.

He probably didn't expect Ping Nanhou to play cards unreasonably, and sealed him in the secret room without seeing him for the first time, and he didn't even say a word after that, and asked people to flatten the house and create a stone mountain Come.

Before I took office, the emperor told me that I must take good care of this place, so I dare not relax at all, but not long after I took office, an accident happened here, the stone mountain collapsed, and I don’t know if the secret room below is unbearable The burden collapsed.

In order to communicate with the emperor, the lower official also asked Mr. Feng Shui to take a look. The other party didn't know it, so he really thought it was a collapse, so he said to build a gazebo on it, which could be suppressed. Think about it, this place is in a busy city. It didn't make sense, so people built a gazebo and planted some flowers and plants. After so many years, the original appearance of the stone mountain can no longer be seen, and there is no way to know what is going on underneath. "

Du Bailiang fell into deep thought when he heard the words, and he didn't know whether Urumata was starved to death or was crushed to death.
