Chapter 239 Reporting to the Capital(1/2)

Now that the rebellion in Yueyang has been put down, it is natural that the news must be sent back to the capital and reported to the Wei court.

Just as Gongsun Yang, the magistrate of Yueyang County, was working hard to restore stability under his rule, a fast horse headed east from Yueyang.

Following the road that Gongsun Yang took to take office in Yueyang a few months ago, this fast horse crossed the Luoshui River, crossed Hexi and stepped on the frozen river. The capital of Wei State, Anyi, appeared in front of us.

.

"Drive, drive, drive..."

"There is an urgent report in Yueyang. Pedestrians should give way. Pedestrians should give way..."

The sound of rushing horses and loud shouts were intertwined, and the fast horses rushed into the heavy city gate in front of them with their strong four hooves.

Galloping along the bustling streets of Anyi, the fast horse stopped in front of a mansion. The messenger on the horse jumped and landed firmly on the ground.

"Who is coming?"

Facing the messenger who suddenly appeared in front of him, a Wei soldier standing guard in front of the gate immediately blocked him with a halberd.

Seeing that he was being blocked, the messenger immediately took out a silk book from his arms without any hesitation on his face.

"There is an urgent report from Yueyang, and it needs to be submitted to the Prime Minister immediately."

The soldier looked up and down at the messenger in front of him. Seeing how hurried he was, he took the silk book from the other man's hand with his right hand and walked towards the door.

"You wait here, I will present it to the Prime Minister immediately."

"It's time to work."

After saying this, the post envoy stood silently watching the soldier go away until the other party's figure disappeared from sight.

The soldier walked along the road in the Prime Minister's Mansion and jogged to the study in the backyard of the mansion.

"Report..."

In the room, Prime Minister Gong Sun Qi was sitting behind a few desks. His eyes slowly shifted to the scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, when suddenly, an unexpected report sounded in his ears.

When the footsteps approached from far away and came not far in front of him, Gongsun Qi still did not look away, but slowly uttered a question.

"What's the matter?"

After hearing what Gongsun Qi said, the soldier felt a shiver in his heart, and then boldly took another step forward.

"Alert to the Prime Minister, there is an urgent report from Yueyang County."

When he heard the keyword "Liyang", Gongsun Qi's eyes suddenly moved and he immediately put the classic in his hand aside.

With a solemn look on his face, Gongsun Qi looked at the soldier in front of him and asked, "Where is the urgent report now?"

"Here is the pawn."

After finishing speaking, before Gongsun Qi could say anything else, the soldier immediately handed over the silk book in his hand respectfully.

After taking the silk book from the soldier's hand and slowly opening it, Gongsun Qi's eyes were startled at first, and then a smile slowly formed at the corner of his mouth.

After reading the entire silk book written by Gongsun Yang himself, Gongsun Qi could no longer hide the smile on his face.

"color!"

"color!"

"color!"

After cheering three times in a row, Gongsun Qidang stood up after a few cases and strode to the study door.

"Come here, prepare a car for me. I want to go to the palace to see you."

"Here."

An order sounded in the study, and a response came from outside the study. After the instructions on entering the palace for an interview, Gongsun Qi's eyes turned back to the soldier behind him.

"Where is the messenger who delivered the urgent message now?"

"Inform the Prime Minister, and the soldiers ordered him to wait outside the gate of the mansion."

"Immediately bring him into the palace to entertain him, and don't dare to neglect him at all. This is a meritorious person of our Wei State. And..."

While speaking, Gongsun Qi strode up to the soldier, stretched out his right hand and patted the soldier lightly a few times.

"You did a good job in this matter."

Feeling the waves of touch left on his body, and looking at the figure that had already walked back to his seat, the soldier felt a little warmth in his heart.

"Pawn, thank you so much, Prime Minister."



In the State of Wei, the capital city is Anyi, within the palace.

In the main hall, the Marquis of Wei, Wei Feng, was still wearing the red robe of a prince. Today he was also sitting behind his desk, reviewing the memorials placed beside him.

Just as the red pen tip in his hand was writing seal characters representing the monarch's power and position on the silk book, a muffled sound of footsteps reached Wei Feng's ears.

"Reporting to your Majesty, Prime Minister Gongsun asks for an audience."

"Please."

When he heard that it was Prime Minister Gongsun Qi asking for an audience, Wei Feng immediately realized that something might have happened. He quickly understood the memorial in his hand and issued the order in a deep voice.

"Here."

After the waiter who came to report responded, he quickly and quietly exited the hall, and not long after, two figures, one behind the other, returned to Wei Feng.

"My lord, Sun Qi, pays homage to your Majesty."

"The Prime Minister does not need to be polite."

Walking in front of Gongsun Qi, Wei Feng stretched out his hands to help him up, and at the same time asked him, "The Prime Minister came to the palace today to ask for an audience. Isn't he here for nothing?"

"I do have some good news to report to you, Your Majesty."

After saying this, when Wei Feng looked over, Gongsun Qi did not directly report the silk book from Yueyang.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember that ten days ago, General Zhai Liang, the commander of the Hexi Camp, wrote a letter explaining that the situation in Yueyang was unstable and that he sent troops to rescue him first?"

"Of course I remember. At that time, I also expressed my appreciation for General Zhai Liang's courage, and..."

Recalling the scene at that time, Wei Feng seemed to be thinking of something, but he looked at Gongsun Qi opposite.

"At that time, Xiang Guo also stood up and said that prevention should be carried out against such things. Xiang Guo also said that local generals should have some power to make emergency decisions, but this power should also have a limit."

After finishing what Gongsun Qi suggested at that time, Wei Feng had a trace of doubt on his face, "After listening to the Prime Minister's suggestion that day, I have ordered you to deal with this matter specifically. I don't know why the Prime Minister is old today..."

Wei Feng seemed to have realized something halfway through his words, and his eyes immediately burst into strange colors.

"Xiang Guo is saying that the situation in Yueyang is now clear?"

"Your Majesty is so wise, I am very grateful to you." Gongsun Qi immediately took out the silk letter from Yueyang from his arms and presented it to Wei Feng, "Your Majesty, please see this is the urgent letter from Yueyang that was delivered quickly today.

Report."

"oh!"

Taking the emergency report from Gongsun Qi's hand, his eyes wandered between the seal characters, and the entire incident was displayed in front of Wei Feng with great clarity.

"good."

"good."

"good."

Gongsun Qi just cheered three times, but at this moment Wei Feng cheered three times after reading the silk book.

Not only that, after seeing the county magistrate Gongsun Yang and the county magistrate Sun Boling cooperate with each other to defeat the rebel force composed of local soldiers in Yueyang with weak troops, Wei Feng was even more happy.

In Wei Feng's view, this time is just a small test for these two great talents in the world. In the future, they will definitely make greater achievements in the Wei State, create a more glorious foundation, and even surpass the two business kings of the Qin State in their previous lives.

With Qi's military advisor.

"Gongsun Yang and Sun Boling are both the pillars of the country. They are in Yueyang this time. It is the blessing of the people of Yueyang and the blessing of our country Wei."

"What your Majesty said is true." After expressing his agreement, Gongsun Qi, as the Prime Minister, changed the topic and said, "These two are indeed great talents in the world."

"There is an extremely important thing happening right now, which requires these two talents to work together to implement it as soon as possible in the land of Yueyang?"

When Wei Feng heard Gongsun Qi's words, his heart suddenly moved, "The prime minister said that the land grant system should be implemented."

"Exactly."

He bowed and bowed solemnly to Wei Feng in front of him, and heard Gongsun Qi report in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I believe that there are three major foundations for the implementation of the land grant system in Yueyang."

"First, the well-field system implemented by the Qin Dynasty has been implemented for a long time by the Liyang Li people. The public fields are not prosperous, and the private fields have occurred frequently."

"If our Wei State can implement the land grant system in Yueyang, it will be in compliance with God's will and we will definitely be able to win the hearts of the local people."

"Secondly, Gongsun Yang, the magistrate of Yueyang County, had gained the trust of the local people by moving trees to establish trust, and he had also made preliminary preparations for the land grant system in the past few months."

"At this moment, the time is ripe for the implementation of the land grant system in Yueyang, and everything will just fall into place."

"Thirdly, the victory of the Yueyang County Magistrate Gongsun Yang and the County Lieutenant Sun Boling in defeating the clan power undoubtedly removed a major obstacle to the land grant system."

"Now that the obstacles have been removed, it is like a horse that has taken off a heavy burden from its back, and can naturally move forward and gallop."

After finishing the three points that were on his mind, Gongsun Qi immediately took a step forward and looked at Wei Feng with his own eyes.
