Chapter 628 Important people and land(1/2)
It can be said that there is no shortage of military generals under Yang Fan, but there are only a few capable civil officials!
Di Renjie and Pei Xingjian are young and have insufficient experience, so they cannot intimidate the villains. Therefore, Yang Fan intends to get Quan Wanji over.
Otherwise, Yang Fan would not have taken a detour to Li Ke's fiefdom, nor would he make jokes with Quan Wanji just now.
Li Ke always admired Yang Fan's ability to do things. Seeing that he was full of confidence, he stopped talking and laughed: "My brother-in-law is so confident, I will feel much more at ease. If there is something wrong in the future, I can send someone to write. I will definitely help each other with all my strength!"
Yang Fan was waiting for this sentence and said with a smile: "Your Highness is so kind, I am grateful. It's better to choose a day than to meet the day. I'm not sure if I have something to do. I'm asking Your Highness for help."
Seeing Yang Fan so rude, Li Ke was immediately in trouble.
Although Yang Fan will do his best to help in difficulties, now that Yang Fan has made a request before he takes office, is this really good?
Besides, Yang Fan felt that something difficult, and it was not so easy for him, Li Ke.
However, the words had been released, Li Ke could only eat berberine in a mute manner and said with a wry smile: "Brother-in-law, please say that as long as I can do it, I will do my best!"
Seeing Li Ke’s defeated look, Yang Fan finally felt better.
Every time I see this King of Wu, Yang Fan always feels ashamed of his handsome face. It is not a pleasure to make this kid feel uncomfortable.
However, Yang Fan quickly said: "The situation in Jiangnan is complicated. If you first go, it will be difficult to open up the situation. There are very few people who follow me to Jiangnan this time to take on great responsibilities. I just want to ask Your Highness for someone and ask Your Highness to be kind."
Hearing Yang Fan's words, Li Ke's eyelids jumped unconsciously and hesitated: "It's okay for brother-in-law to talk about it!"
Having said that, Li Ke had a slight ominous premonition in his heart.
If it were an ordinary person, Yang Fan would never be so polite with his personality.
Soon, Li Ke's eyes unconsciously floated to Quan Wanji, who was drinking a lot of wine. His heart skipped a beat and he secretly called out a bad thing.
Yang Fan’s brother-in-law is so rude!
Quan Wanji is the emperor's imperial chief minister. If Yang Fan wants to go, what should he do with his fief?
Although Quan Wanji is not good at doing things, his temper is stink and hard.
To be honest, I really have a good idea in rectifying official discipline and developing people's livelihood.
No matter what, if the fief under one's own rule has the current situation, the role of the power of Wanji cannot be underestimated.
Every year when I return to Beijing to report my work, I can stand out among the princes and have been praised by His Majesty Li Er many times, and Quan Ji makes a great contribution.
Originally, Li Ke is a person with ability, vision and ambition, and he cherishes talents very much.
Now Yang Fan actually wanted to leave Quan Wanji by his side, and of course Li Ke was unwilling to do so.
Just as he wanted to refuse, Yang Fan said, "Your Highness is really generous. Quan Changshi has been in Jiangnan for many years and is familiar with the customs and customs of Jiangnan. He just wanted Quan Changshi to accompany me to Jiangnan for a walk. Once the situation stabilizes, I will send Quan Changshi back immediately."
Upon hearing this, Li Ke suddenly became unhappy!
As he guessed, Yang Fan just took a fancy to his talents.
But the words had just been released and I didn't know how to refuse, Li Ke could only hesitate and shirk, "Chief Shi is a person appointed by his father. I have no right to decide whether he will stay or not. Everything has to be decided by the father, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Yang Fan interrupted: "As long as your highness agrees, your Majesty will ask for a report. No matter what the result is, I will thank you first!"
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen Yang Fan so shameless.
Even though he knew that he didn't want to let Quan Wanji go, Yang Fan pretended not to know. It was so hateful!
But Yang Fan said so, what else can he do?
Li Ke, who was already happy, had a sad face as if he was eating shit. He squeezed out a look that was even worse than crying and said, "If the father really agreed and the Chief Quan Shi was willing to go there, I will naturally not stop him."
Of course he knew that His Majesty Li Er had great trust when Yang Fan went to Jiangnan this time.
You should know that the stability of Jiangnan is related to whether the Eastern Expedition can proceed smoothly in the future.
As long as the throne is not involved, Li Er will not refuse Yang Fan's request.
Not to mention that Yang Fan is just a senior official now. Although Quan Wanji is very capable, Li Er has absolutely no reason to refuse.
Now Li Ke is just hoping that Quan Wanji can refuse.
If all the parties involved disagree, Yang Fan will have no choice!
Unfortunately, Li Ke's eyes were almost blinking, but Quan Wanji did not respond at all. Instead, he said excitedly: "The Grand Governor likes this, I am really lucky to have three lives. As long as I can use my place, I will definitely die!"
Although Quan Wanji is upright and does not know how to adapt to things, it does not mean that he is stupid.
If you have always been the chief minister of the prince's fief, you can be said to be a position below one person and above ten thousand people in the fief.
But no matter how hard he tries, almost all the credit is the prince.
Even if the emperor praises him, he will only praise his son for how smart and capable he is, which has little to do with him as a senior official.
In the officialdom, no one wants to climb up, and no one wants to gain a good reputation.
As the age of age grows, if you don’t try again, maybe you will be the only way to do this in your life.
Of course, Quan Wanji would not refuse Yang Fan's chance when he gave him such an opportunity.
Although the trip to Jiangnan is full of difficulties and many difficulties, risks and opportunities coexist.
Once Jiangnan is brought under the control of the court, it will definitely make a great contribution, and both reputation and achievements will definitely be greatly improved.
Therefore, Quan Wanji turned a blind eye to Li Ke's suggestion.
Seeing this, Li Ke no longer had the interest in drinking and returned to the backyard in a depressed manner to study the game of creating villains.
Perhaps, the happiest person is Yang Fan!
He just left Chang'an and gained a powerful general. Now Quan Wanji is almost becoming the meat he can get. It's really worth the trip!
The next morning, Yang Fan said goodbye to Li Ke, and the fleet was divided into two.
One team escorted Yang Fei straight to Suzhou, led by Yang Fan; the other team took the engine exchanged by Yang Fan to the shipyard in Quanzhou.
On the dock, Li Ke said sadly: "Mother, without the emperor's imperial order, my son cannot easily leave his fiefdom and cannot accompany his mother to Suzhou. Please forgive my child for being unfilial!"
"This time, you go to Suzhou with high mountains and long roads, and you must pay attention to safety. However, I feel relieved if I have my brother-in-law protecting me!"
Looking at Concubine Yang who said goodbye to Li Ke, Yang Fan said with a smile: "Please rest assured, I will definitely serve the Concubine comfortably. If there is any damage, I will come to see you."
Hearing Yang Fan's words that seemed to be pointed, Concubine Yang's pretty face turned red, and even the sorrow of parting was diluted a lot.
This time I went to Jiangnan, I was originally a secret lover, and paying homage to my father was just a cover.
Now Yang Fan is teasing her blatantly, and she is still in front of her son. Of course, Yang Fei is like a cat to catch her, for fear that others will see the clues.
He could only glar at Yang Fan secretly and curse Yang Fan to speak nonsense.
Li Ke was used to parting, so he stopped talking and said, "Send you thousands of miles away. Once you leave, you will have to rely on your brother-in-law for your mother's safety. Take care of it!"
"Take care for your Highness!"
Yang Fan did not laugh anymore, bowed his hand and helped Concubine Yang onto the warship.
The ship slowly sailed off the shore, and Yang Fan stood on the bow until Li Ke and his group on the shore gradually blurred, then turned around and entered the cabin.
The beauty is like water, and the spring heart is rippling. As the boat floats, a melodious song appears and disappears.
The river is sad, the anchors are sweeping, and they follow the river all the way, diluting the sorrow of parting.
The mountain wind is strong, the river water is clear, the birds fly over the sky, and the fish fly at the bottom of the water. The warship equipped with engines is full of power, the steel bow plows the green river water, and white splashes appear on both sides of the ship.
The ship rides the wind and waves, heading towards its destination like an arrow leaving the string.
Yang Fan embraced the beauty and leaned on the transformed boat building, feeling particularly comfortable.
Looking at the vast river surface, Yang Fan felt a lot of emotion. The river water more than a thousand years ago was so clear!
No wonder Bai Juyi could write such a wonderful poem as "The heart of water is like a mirror, without any figment in a thousand miles. The river is widest, and the building is higher near the east."
In later generations, they may think this is an exaggerated description method, but when you can truly look at the Yangtze River more than a thousand years ago, you will know what it means to be spectacular and beautiful!
With Quan Wanji joining, the guide on this trip became this old man with a bad temper.
It’s true that Quan Wanji is knowledgeable and will give detailed explanations whenever he visits a scenic spot.
Since Yang Fan is at the highest level and everyone else is below, if Yang Fan sees a good attraction, he will send a message to Quan Wanji to explain.
This also better covers the relationship between Yang Fan and Yang Concubine.
"The convenient front is Guozhou, which is famous for its large water flow and rapid water flow."
Yang Fan looked up at the distance and saw a vast river surface. The river water became turbulent because the river channel became narrower and the water flow became turbulent.
Headed by Yang Fan's warship, the fleet moved closer to the middle river and saw a cliff suddenly standing on the river surface, with continuous peaks and majestic momentum.
The vortex is piled up among the piles of rocks by the river, and the echoes are rising. The mountains and trees are towering, with strange shapes and magnificent beauty.
Yang Fan walked out of the ship warehouse and came to the bow of the ship. He heard Cheng Mingzhen sigh: "This is Guozhou, which is famous all over the world. It is surrounded by cliffs and has blocked the keys of the river. The water flows rapidly and the terrain is dangerous. It has been a place that military strategists must fight for since ancient times."
Yang Fan looked down and was shocked by how insightful Cheng Mingzhen had.
According to the "Shui Jing Zhu" records: "The river water comes out of the gorge, flows southeast, and Jing's ancient city. The continent is attached to the north shore, and the front of the city is called Guozhou, two miles long and one mile wide. There are steps above to elaborate on the ancient city, and the radius is called the continent, and the circumference is slightly full."
The pronunciation of "Guo" and "Ge" is similar, and later generations were called "Gezhouba".
Gezhouba Power Station has become the largest power station in Huasha in recent decades, and it is a treasure land.
Cheng Mingzhen could see the value of this place, and it was indeed well-deserved.
