Royal Road

The banquet was set after the Xiaya, when Linghusheng took the car to the Cishi Mansion, it was getting late. The people surrounding the Cishi Mansion had long since dispersed, leaving only soldiers standing guard with swords. Under the guidance of the steward, he stepped into the government office.

Unlike imagined, the Cishi Mansion is no longer what it used to be. In just a day's effort, the extravagance that Sima Teng left behind disappeared. The furnishings in the mansion are concise and generous, with some dignity that officials should have.

Just this point, we can see the preferences of the new governor. Linghusheng silently observed the guards guarding everywhere. Although they were dressed in plain clothes, these people had a solemn face, restrained and murderous. They were obviously elite soldiers who had retreated from the battlefield. They could use such people as their guards. It can be seen that Liang House heritage.

After passing through several courtyards, the front is suddenly open, and it is the inner courtyard of the governor's mansion. At this moment, the lotus in the pond has not yet fallen, swaying in the slight summer breeze, indescribably elegant and quiet. A thin figure, standing under the pavilion by the pool, with a plain face in Tsing Yi, You Sheng Bihe.

"I don't feel well, and I can't welcome it far. Please forgive me, General Linghu." Liang Feng greeted with a smile.

How dare to neglect when seeing this, Linghu Sheng stepped forward: "The old news has made you famous. When we meet today, we know that it is better to be famous than to meet!"

Before Liang Feng waited for him to give the gift, he put his hands in support: "Why does General Linghu need to give more gifts? The pavilion has boiled wine, please come to your seat."

It stands to reason that Liang Feng can greet officials at the level of Linghusheng for a banquet. However, with a sick look on his face, he still greeted the pavilion, which was enough to show solemnity. It was just this small move that made Linghusheng's heart warm. The two were seated together, and the guests of honor were seated.

After sitting down, Linghusheng realized that there were not many guests to accompany today, only Liang Cishi's confidant Jie would be on his side. Is it really a secret conversation?

Liang Feng seemed to notice his gaze, and smiled and introduced: "This is Wei Du Yi, who has just been promoted to General Huwei, so he came to Jinyang with me."

Yi Yan immediately bowed his hands: "I've seen General Fenwei in the end!"

Linghu Sheng said: "I have heard of General Yi's name from Yuan Jun's mouth before, and it really is a rare general. The victory in Qixian County is thanks to General Yi's conspiracy!"

"It's also that General Zhechong took the lead courageously, before he achieved full success." In the face of Linghusheng, how can he not mention Linghu's status?

Hearing this, Linghu Shengguo really laughed and said: "Mr. Yuan has made a lot of progress during the Shangdang period, thanks to the support of the emperor. I am afraid that it is Linghu's line, this generation needs to be more talented!"

"General Linghu was overly modest. When Linghu Gong was the prefect of Hongnong, he was named Bingqing. I heard from my ancestors, and I also admired the abnormality. Yuan Jun was originally a plastic talent, so I should take care of it. "Liang Feng smiled.

The Duke Linghu he was talking about was the ancestor of Linghusheng, Linghu Shao, who was Cao Cao's minister at the same time as Liang Xi, the ancestor of Liang Feng. However, Linghu Shao is the prefect of Hongnong, and Liang Xi is the provincial governor, and the official positions are different. In fact, Linghu Shao is also very famous, but it is a pity that his son Linghu is foolish and rebellious. After two generations, Linghu Sheng has been promoted to general Fenwei, and it is rare for Linghu Sheng to be promoted to general.

Listening to Liang Feng's words, Linghu Sheng's smile was even stronger: "At the beginning Liang Gong was appointed as the governor of the state, and now he is also appointed as the governor of the state. It seems that Linghu's lineage is indeed related to the governor."

Who dares to say that the wealthy family in the state had never received Liang Xi's attention? This relationship twists and turns, but it's not right. Just a few words, that little bit of evasiveness was completely scattered. Only then did Liang Feng call people, and offer mellow wine and delicacies.

Hospitality is just about attitude. Pay attention or not, you can tell at a glance. However, Linghusheng did not expect that the dishes delivered to him by the maids would be so delicate!

A set of six dishes and two bowls, everything is white porcelain. The vegetables are not steamed or stewed. They are lightly greasy. They are placed in a plate, forming a picturesque scenery with the patterns outlined by the ink pen next to them. Some resemble bamboo forests, some resemble lotus ponds, some resemble plum seas, and some resemble clear streams, but the artistic conception is amazing. What's more, white porcelain of this quality is used!

The cup used to hold the wine is no small thing, but the glass cup. I saw the maid leaning over and pouring the thick wine into the cup. The color of the cup is very light, like a golden brewed amber, exquisite and lovely, just put it on the table, it will have a strong fragrance.

Such dishes, not to mention that the former governor's mansion, even the top level clan like the Wang Clan of Taiyuan, are not necessary. On the contrary, it seems that Liang Cishi is not a person who likes extravagance. There are no extra furnishings in the Cishi mansion, not to mention the clothes of the servants and guards, even the master in front of him is just a single robe, without much makeup. It is precisely because of this that this table of dishes is more sincere.

Linghusheng couldn't help sighing: "I never wanted to make Jun prepare such a feast! Isn't this bowl of white porcelain from the Liang Mansion?"

"It's this thing." Liang Feng smiled and raised the wine cup, "Also, please let General Linghu taste the fine wine in my mansion."

Such wine and delicacies, coupled with the beauty of Yale, are really pleasing to the eye. After three rounds of wine, the two started to eat with chopsticks. Liang Feng didn't put on the arrogance of the governor, nor did he be elegant, just chatting casually. Give face, but also full of lining, this meal is naturally comfortable to eat. However, Linghusheng had made up his mind, no matter how well the other party showed his favor, he couldn't vote for the Cishi Mansion now. We have to wait for the new governor to take over Jinyang, and then look at the situation.

But he made preparations, but the other party did not expressly imply meaning, just chatting and talking about the war in Bingzhou.

"I heard that there are people in Xinxing County who are not at ease?" Liang Feng asked.

"The envoy is talking about Liu Hu?" Linghusheng knew everything about Bingzhou's military affairs, but he didn't expect that Liang Cishi would know about it the second day he took office. "There was a letter that said he was in collusion with Baibu Xianbei. I cast Liu Yuanhai. Baibu Xianbei has tens of thousands of riders. If it strikes suddenly, maybe Jinyang will be attacked by the enemy."

Liang Feng frowned: "Now that the Huns are going to fight Sizhou, they may not be able to move for the time being. It's better to break Liu Hu first, and then attack the Huns."

This is an old-fashioned way, Linghu Sheng nodded silently in his heart. But I can’t say anything. You have to wait until the governor comes and see the other party’s arrangements.

Liang Feng didn't care about Linghusheng's answer, and turned to ask Yi Yan: "Can the Shangdang still transfer troops?"

Yi Yan said solemnly: "If you only defend but don't attack, you can still take out three thousand county soldiers and eight hundred cavalry."

"There are fewer people." Liang Feng frowned, "Where are the soldiers?"

"It takes at least one winter to train troops in Jinyang. It just depends on how many fields can be cultivated." Yi Yan responded quickly.

"Oh, it's really eventful." Liang Feng sighed.

Linghusheng frowned. On the basis of defending the city, the Shangdang could still come up with nearly four thousand soldiers? Don’t forget that there is a lower general of Yiyan in Qi County! How many people are there in Shangdang County? And besides what the governor said, why didn't he mean to ask for help at all? Could it be that he didn't pay attention to Jinyang's military horse?

Liang Feng didn't mention Liu Hu again, and instead said to Linghu Sheng: "General Linghu is also a member of the state, and now I am afraid that he has also suffered a military disaster."

"It's okay to hold the farm barely. The public land below has not been damaged." Linghusheng did not conceal it.

Liang Feng sighed again: "My home is here, I know my heart. When Liang's mansion was attacked, Zhuangzi was almost broken. When the Shangdang resisted the Huns, the family was exhausted. If you change your personal guard, I am afraid it will be early. I just threw away those small towns, just care about my own safety."

This is the truth. How can foreigners work hard for their homeland like their local nobles? Wait, this Liang Zixi is half a native of Binzhou, but the new governor may not be so!

Immediately understanding the deep meaning of Liang Feng's words, Ling Husheng's brow furrowed even harder. In this way, he and the governor's interests are converging, and it is difficult to talk about it with the governor. This trick works well.

Unexpectedly, unlike Linghusheng’s imagination, Liang Feng did not immediately show the intention of soliciting, and turned to the subject again: "In a few days, the government will issue a government order to recruit the refugees. It is just the food stored in the government’s treasury. I don't know if it can be supported. If it can enrich the people of Jinyang, spring ploughing in the coming year will be two more sure."

"... Make the king benevolent." Linghu replied after a pause.

Is there any other meaning in this statement? If it is to accommodate the refugees, can the Linghu clan also take the opportunity to enrich the song? It's just that there is always a shortage of food at home. Only when the situation around Jinyang is further stabilized can farming be more secure. Is there a battle to be fought first this winter?

Just like real chatting, Liang Feng was so leisurely, chatting with the guests aimlessly. Sometimes they talked about government decrees, sometimes they talked about military camps, and even mentioned that the children of the Linghu family could be admitted to the party county school. A meal lasts an hour, and the banquet is not considered until the beginning of the Hua Deng.

The guests got up to say goodbye, Liang Feng Yili retained. After making a full posture, it is natural to send the guests out. However, after sitting for two hours, his legs were already paralyzed, and he was unable to get up for a while. The maid who was waiting to be recruited held her hand, and placed a large hand with a thick callus and distinct knuckles on her hand.

Liang Feng's heart jumped, and he met those gray-blue eyes. How many times has that person walked sideways, like a human-shaped crutches, helping him who is not good at walking up and walking slowly. Today, even if the trouble is so embarrassing, he is still the first person to find himself embarrassed.

When a guest was there, Liang Feng hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and let the other party help him up. The hands were firmly resting on the arms, bringing out trembling memories of impropriety. Liang Fengqiang held his posture and wanted to see off the guests.

Seeing this look that needed help, Linghu Sheng was shocked to see the weakness of Liang Cishi. But at the banquet, the man was quick-witted and gentle, so how could he look like a chronically ill person? This subtle contrast is even more heartbreaking.

Only after stepping down, Linghusheng persuaded: "The envoy, please stay."

Liang Feng smiled, not reluctantly, greeted the steward to send General Linghu out. After the other party turned around, he saw off the guests in two prayers. With the movement, the supported arm came out of the palm.

After the ceremony, Liang Feng picked up the abnormality and whispered: "Today's banquet has been laid out. You can go to the barracks and deal with it."

He had already set out the conditions. Whether to choose him or the court, Linghusheng should have a choice if he wants to come. Pressing too tightly will make life rebellious.

Yi Yan lowered his eyes and looked towards the palm of his hand. The man was shaking, very lightly, but he couldn't restrain himself. Is it his own touch that made him do this? If it was in the past, that person wouldn't care, and would like to hang his whole body on him...

"I will understand at last."

The voice was not too loud or too small, echoing beside the two of them. Liang Feng pursed his lips and walked slowly to the other courtyard without being supported.

Looking at the staggering figure, Yi Yan clenched his palms into a fist and followed silently.

On the other side, Linghusheng's heart was also extremely entangled. Until he got up to say goodbye, Liang Cishi never said a word to win him. Is it true that today is really just a relationship with him, talking about his nephews?

Immediately before boarding the carriage, a steward of the Liang Palace rushed up: "General, this is a gift from our envoy to the general. Please accept the general!"

It is disrespect if you don't accept gifts. He instructed his servants to accept the gift and only boarded the car after thanking him. Before the car started, he opened the beautiful wooden box. I saw two glass cups placed in the box, shining brightly against the background of the lights.

How could such a gift be a small gift?

Linghusheng couldn't help sighing in his heart. I haven't heard half of the important words today, but after thinking about it carefully, each sentence is worth pondering. In just an hour, he knew the changes in Jinyang in the future. Renovate the surrounding villages, open up farmland, accommodate the refugees, and establish medical centers in the city to avoid the occurrence of immune diseases. After initial stabilization, it is to open up farms and turn farmers into soldiers so that they can guard their homes.

Can this be done step by step, can the merged state be saved? Asking himself, Linghusheng couldn't think of a better way. At that time, Liang Xi was well-known all over the world and won the reputation of No. 1 in political achievements. Now it seems that Liang Ci's historian has a profound knowledge, and it is not inferior. Such a prince can be met but not sought wherever it is placed.

And does he need his own help? If it is now, it may still be useful. When the troops are first formed, they will have the same cohesive force as the Shangdang. Are these weak soldiers under his team still useful?

At the banquet tonight, one sentence did not mention the effect, but the meaning was clear. It is easy to send charcoal in the snow, but hard to icing on the cake! If Liang Zixi has a firm foothold in Jinyang, it doesn't really matter whether he casts or not.

This meal is really worth it.

Closing the lid silently, Linghusheng shook his head, now only to see how the future capitol will be. If the difference seems to be different, one or two can be considered. If the difference is too far, you must make a decision early.
