Chapter 432 The Imperial arrived

"Your Highness, Longzhou urgent mail."

As soon as he saw Li Xian's eyes sweeping over, Liu Ziming did not dare to neglect much. He hurried forward and handed the small copper pipe clenched in his hand to Li Xian.

"Hmm."

Hearing that it was an urgent piece from Longzhou, Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't think much about it. He just raised his eyebrows and said softly. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he had taken over the small copper pipe. He skillfully unswung the hidden button on the small copper pipe, took out a piece of paper inside, spread it out and opened it. At a glance, his eyebrows were already frowned-- There are not many words on the note, and there is only one thing said - Pei Shoude, a member of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, has arrived in Longzhou!

It came so fast. What on earth does this he want to do?

Pei Shoude was appointed as the presiding judge of the thorough investigation of Qiu Shen's assassination. Li Xian has known this news for a long time, and even Li Xian has been informed about his departure from Luoyang, but he didn't expect Pei Shoude to come so quickly. It has only been six days, and Pei Shoude and his entourage have rushed to Longzhou. As soon as you cross the Yellow River, you can reach the land of Lanzhou. Such a fast speed of travel is obviously not for errands. There must be something strange here, but Li Xian can't figure out Pei Shoude's true intention for a while, and his heart will inevitably make a grunt.

"Report, Your Highness, all the tribal leaders have come to the gate to ask for a look. Please make it clear."

Just as Li Xian lowered his head and meditated, he saw that Team Xiao was coming out of the stairs. When he saw that Li Xian was meditating, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to miss the business. He hesitated slightly and strode to Li Xian and respectfully reported something.

"Hmm." Li Xian nodded his head absent-mindedly. After walking back and forth for two steps in the same place, he had a decision in his heart. Then he quietly ordered, "Zi Ming, you and Shi Zhang went to talk to those heads, and he would not come out. In addition, he went to call Tuoba Shanye."

"No!"

Since Li Xian had issued an order, Liu Ziming and Lu Shizhang did not dare to neglect it. They bowed and agreed. They hurried down the city wall and were busy not to mention the acquisition negotiations.

"See Your Highness!"

The gate tower is still the same gate tower, facing Li Xian, who is still smiling, but Tuoba Shanye has lost the self-confidence when he met earlier. Although the salute is still calm, the low-hanging eyes are faintly worried, and a feeling of coldness like a tiger unconsciously. It surged out of the bottom of my heart.

"Flat, I don't like false gifts. After getting along with you for a long time, you will know the bottom line. Well, this time, you can deter the northern tribes. You have made great achievements. I have always been rewarded and punished. Now you have made great achievements, and I have not hesitated to reward. The number of redemptions agreed by the Er Tuoba family has increased by 30%, thinking that the cost of settling down. In addition, I What I said before remains unchanged, but the court has its own law, but it is not easy for you to give it to a high-ranking official as soon as you come up. First, you will be a cavalryman in Gu's guard, but you can be loyal to things. A Wanhuhou can't run away. I don't know if you are willing to make contributions with the lonely battlefield?

Li Xian appreciated the talent of Tuoba Mountain and Field very much and was also willing to cultivate it, so he smiled and brought out the rewards he deserved one by one.

"Your Highness loves you, and Cao Min is deeply honored, but Cao Min has a request. I don't know whether to mention it or not."

Tuoba Shanye kowtowed respectfully, stood up, bowed his body, hugged his fist and answered.

"Well, if there are any requirements, just say it directly, but whoever can do it alone will never disappoint you."

The reward given by Li Xian is quite generous. Although the number of redemptions has only increased by 30%, the cattle, sheep and horses owned by the whole black party are really not a small number. At least tens of thousands of goods can be obtained by the floating Tuoba brothers. In addition, although the position of riding Cao is not outstanding, Li Xian's relatives The guard is not so easy to advance. It is the cradle of senior officers in the west of the river. Inside, he is a gang leader. When it is put out to the place, he can get a lieutenant, let alone an officer at the level of Qi Cao. Once released, it is at least it is the high position of the general. In other words, Li Xian has been very high. Hearing Tuoba Shanye's request, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. However, Li Xiancheng was deep, but he didn't bring it to his face. He just nodded with a smile and replied.

"Thank you, Your Highness, the grass people do not ask for wealth, but I would like to ask Your Highness to allow my three brothers to join the army together. We are willing to fight for Your Highness in all directions, although I have no regrets!" Tuoba Shanye held his fist and said sincerely what he asked for.

"Okay, I'm lonely. The mountains and fields can have this kind of heart. I'm very relieved. This river is just a corner of the west. As for Tubo, in the lonely eyes, it's just a grass. I don't care about it. The Langlang universe is the stage of loneliness. Since the mountains and fields are willing to follow the loneliness, there is no place to go!"

While successfully solving the problems of the tribes in the northwestern part of the river, Li Xian was very excited to receive such good generals such as Tuoba Shanye. He suddenly patted a few words and said heroically that the heart of dominating the world has undoubtedly been revealed...

February in Hexi is extremely beautiful. The grass is green and the flowers are red, and the sun is bright. There is neither the coldness in January nor the continuous rain in March. Even if it is noon, the sun is still not hot. When it shines on people, there is a kind of warm warmth, and there is a gust of breeze bringing the fragrance of flowers and plants, which is really refreshing. Wang Geng, the new governor of Lanzhou, has been staying in Hexi for some years, but he can't help but be intoxicated with such scenery. He was slightly distracted and did not notice that a horse had galloped to the front.

"Report, Lord Wang, the imperial envoy and his party have arrived at the foot of Hutou Mountain, less than three miles away from here."

The duty of reporting the horse is to report the news. He will not pay attention to whether Wang Geng is distracted or not. He rolled out of the horse's back and reported it loudly on one knee.

"Ah, oh, explore again!"

Hearing the sound, Wang Geng finally woke up. As soon as he brushed his sleeves, he casually ordered a word, and sent the horse away, but he raised his head, looked at the mountain beams inside and outside, and sighed inexplicably.

Since ancient times, no one will like the arrival of the imperial envoys, in order not want the envoys to command randomly in his own territory. If this envoy came with unknown intentions, it would be even more annoying. Unfortunately, Wang Geng encountered the most annoying situation - the assassination of Qiu Shenxun. Wang Geng has heard about the matter, but he is not very clear about the details, but he can guess that the inside story of this matter is by no means as simple as it seems. Wang Geng really doesn't want to be involved in it. Since he took office, he has taken an indifferent attitude to this case and put it on the shelf, but he didn't expect that it had just passed two. In less than a month, the imperial envoy who thoroughly investigated the case came. However, Li Xian, the governor of Hexi, was not in Lanzhou. Wang Geng had nowhere to hide even if he wanted to hide, not to mention the crooked feeling in his heart.

You can't hide. Even if Li Xian is in Lanzhou, as an assassin, Wang Geng has to cooperate with the investigation of this case. This is beyond doubt. It will not be the root of Wang Geng's annoyance. What really makes Wang Geng a headache is his own position, or should It is not necessary to cooperate with Pei Shoude to investigate the case, and to what extent to cooperate - most of the many officials in Hexi are Li Xian's direct line. Even if it is not Li Xian's confidant, it is also a person who is close to Li Xian. Wang Geng knows this very well, but he himself is not among them. Even if he admires Li Xian's talent, but However, he did not intend to devote himself under Li Xian's command, just because Wang Geng did not want to participate in the bloody and tragic farce of taking the throne. He just wanted to be a pure minister, but with the arrival of Pei Shoude, the real problem of standing in line had been put in front of Wang Geng. How to choose freely was not enough for Wang Geng.

"Your Excellency is arriving!"

No matter whether Wang Geng has a headache or not, what should come will eventually come. For a few hours, a large group of soldiers and horses surrounded several carriages and turned out of the mountain beams and drove straight to the crowd to greet the crowd. After a salute, he saw Pei Shoude, wearing a big red official robe, getting off the carriage, but he was not in a hurry to go forward with Wang. Geng greeted, but shook his wide sleeves in place.

"Wang Geng, the governor of Lanzhou, has met the imperial envoy."

Wang Geng is the governor of Zhongzhou. The official title of Zheng Sipin is two levels higher than that of Pei Shoude. However, Pei Shoude is now the status of an imperial envoy. When he sees the official at the highest level, he wants to be an imperial envoy. Wang Geng has no choice but to go forward solemnly and respectfully.

"Lord Wang is polite, you're welcome. I am ordered to investigate the case. I'm afraid there will be more disturbances. Please forgive me." Pei Shoude was originally an exquisite figure. The reason why he pretended was because of his identity. He had to do it. When he saw that Wang Geng gave a full gift, he would no longer hold his airs. He hurriedly bowed his hand and returned a gift and said with a smile.

"I dare not, I dare not. This is your majesty's oracle. The subordinate should act according to his own decree. Lord Pei has worked hard all the way from afar. The subordinate has prepared some light wine and asked Lord Pei for his advice."

Although Wang Geng has not yet decided on the problem of standing in line, in any case, the etiquette of greeting is indispensable. He smiled and waved his hand and made a "please" gesture.

"Lord Wang's kindness is clear to me, but the case is urgent, so this banquet will be avoided. After I settle down at the post station, can I talk to the Lord Wang and all the lords in detail?"

Pei Shoude came to Lanzhou in such a hurry that he did not come to eat and drink. Before he was fully sure, he did not intend to pester with Lanzhou officials. He did not want to accept Wang Geng's invitation, so he refused with a smile.

"That's good, Lord Pei, please!"

As soon as he heard Pei Shoude say the words "urgent case", Wang Geng's heart couldn't help but tremble, and the smile on his face unconsciously stiffened slightly. However, on such occasions, it was not easy to ask questions casually. He could only nodded and echoed, but he woke up secretly in his heart...
