Chapter 39

The third year of Kaicheng is on the second day of March.

It rained all night in Feng'an, and at 3 o'clock, the rain stopped. The wind was clear and the water was cold. Yang Hao, who had been sitting in the inner study for a night, put down his pen, moved his stiff neck, shook his hand, and then pushed the door out. The cold wind blew on his face, and the air was cool and fresh. That night, he was busy drafting a memorial for apology, and sending troops to Hedong without authorization was a serious crime. The postman Xiao Mingyue arrived in Feng'an a few days ago and asked Yang Hao in an extremely stern tone whether he knew the crime.

Yang Hao did not make any defense. Li Yan acquiesced the capture of Hedong. He sent Xiao Mingyue to account for it only in a formality. Sure enough, Xiao Mingyue quickly hinted that the chief general Li Yan had no intention of delving into this matter, but Li Ang still had an explanation. Xiao Mingyue asked Yang Hao to give up a memorial to apologize for the crime, and he should be sincere in admitting his mistakes, but he should not take all the sins on his own. He should emphasize the unscrupulous aspects of sending troops. Yang Hao was most afraid of doing these things in writing, and he would never be able to grasp the right things. Secondly, his writing style was really bad. He could not get to the eyes of the scholars and Hanlins. Therefore, he delayed this memorial for the apology again and again, and finally he was forced to close the door and put out a draft for a day and night.

After a breath at the door, Yang Hao sat back in front of the case and read the apology again. The more he read it, the more he became more discouraged. His writing style was too rough and he wanted to tear it off and rewrite it immediately, but Yang Hao finally held it back. He really tear it off, and he might not be able to write it out. Forget it, let the bookkeeper polish it and modify it. He is indeed not the material for this.

The back garden is quiet in the early morning, and the new buds that just emerged on the branches were stained with dew, and they were lush and radiant. This is a kind of quiet beauty, a beauty that can only be experienced when you enjoy the comfort after experiencing blood and fire.

Yang Hao was walking along the newly built path by the pond. On this extremely quiet morning, his mind gradually became clear from chaos, and he wanted to enjoy the peace given by God alone.

The little fish was disheveled and walked over lazily. Looking at her sleepy and shaking look, Yang Hao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hi, be careful, don't fall into the pond."

Xiaoyu stood up, squinted his eyes and scratched his head, and asked sleepyly: "Have you not slept yet another night?"

Xiaoyu's tone was mixed with a hint of resentment. Yang Hao sighed slightly. This was the third night he spent in the study. Apart from writing the damn apology, he was a document that would never be finished. In the battle of Hedong, there were mixed gains and losses. From the moment he saw that he had obtained the richest states in Hedong, and formed an alliance with Liu Mian, Dong Bazheng and Wu Cao, and his power had greatly expanded compared to before. But in the long run, it may not be a good thing to expose his strength too early.

He invisibly started a new arms race. Compared with the towns in the mainland, Yang Hao was particularly worried about the Uighur reaction. If they saw their power clearly and took action in advance, the 300,000 Tianlang Army would definitely be a catastrophe to Fengzhou. It is not the time to expand himself to do his best, Yang Hao had to give up some things he had already obtained, such as the prefectures and counties in the east and west of the river, and for example, too many of his confidants in Hedong.

In order to effectively confuse the opponent's eyes, Yang Hao doubled Wanduan's activity funds and selected a large number of elites to infiltrate the Uighur Khanate. He did not appreciate the great achievements of killing Yingye. If he could make this strong northern neighbor collapse quietly, it would be the best strategy.

Xiaoyu barely stood for a while, her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't bear it anymore, so she closed her eyes, shook her body, and fell on the dead grass by the pond. Yang Hao was scared and sweated in a cold sweat. He carried her on his shoulders and walked back. After walking two steps, Xiaoyu fell asleep with his eyes closed. At the gate of the yard, Yang Hao ran into Qing'er who was getting up early. Qing'er looked at Yang Hao with a sarcastic look, but her hands and feet were not idle. She quickly pushed open the door, tidied up Xiaoyu's bed, and helped Yang Hao put Xiaoyu down.

Then she blamed Yang Hao in a sarcastic tone: "You guys went to the backyard early in the morning to make a fuss. The weather was cold and wet, and it was really cool."

Yang Hao curled his lips and said, "What are you thinking about? She didn't wake up and almost fell into the pond. Did you play mahjong all night last night?"

Qing'er smiled embarrassedly with a blushing face. Last night, she played mahjong with Xiaoyu, Lu Rui, and Dongyu and ended until the end of the Hai hour. Because she was hungry, she ate midnight snacks again and went to bed until the fourth hour. She was used to staying up late. It was a bit surprising that Xiaoyu got up so early, and she couldn't blame her for shaking like a sleepwalking.

Yang Hao turned Qing'er's face, carefully checked her face, and blamed him: " Staying up late will hurt your body. Look at your face. It is yellow waxy. This is a sign of premature aging."

The two were so close that Yang Hao's spicy breath was clearly audible. Qing'er's breath suddenly became rapid and her eyes became a little confused.

"I'm tired, why don't you go to bed with me?"

Qing'er shyly punched him, and the two walked towards the backyard like a thief. A month ago, Yang Hao was promoted to Fengzhou Metropolitan Defense Command. According to the system, he could expand and renovate the Defense Command. Yang Hao did not feel that the yard was small, nor did he feel that the yard was old. He just felt that it was not convenient to let Qing'er and Lu Rui live in the same yard together, so he built a road wall in the East Cross Courtyard, dividing the yard into two, and the two lived on one side without interfering with each other. Daoyue Gate was built in the middle of the wall to facilitate walking with each other.

The door was now hidden. When Yang Hao hugged Qing'er and walked in, he suddenly saw a man sneaking into Lu Rui's courtyard and flashing into Lu Rui's room.

Yang Hao suddenly turned dark, threw Qing'er away and chased after him. Qing'er hurriedly stopped him and whispered, "What are you doing?" Yang Hao sneered, "What am I doing? Are you blind? Someone rode on my head."

Qing'er stamped her feet and said, "What are you talking nonsense? Have you seen clearly? That's Xiaofeng."

"Xiao Feng? Which Xiao Feng? Is Lu Xiao Feng?"

Qing'er gave him a blank look: "Brother, come to see my sister, do you have to care too?"

"What did he do early in the morning?"

"You're still embarrassed to ask? Xiao Rui is sick, do you know?"

Yang Hao suddenly felt guilty in his heart. He had indeed not seen Lu Rui for a long time. After returning to Feng'an, he was busy with official duties. He was in the study room during the day, stayed in the study room at night or went to the Ying Hotel to sleep. He had indeed not been to the back for a long time. Xiaoyu had been to the Ying Hotel several times, and Qing'er had also come, but Lu Rui had never been there once.

It turns out she is sick.

Qing'er explained that Lu Rui was infected with cold water because he was skating in the pond in the back garden and was infected with wind and cold water. Later, his hands and feet were cold. Qin Sihu came to diagnose and prescribed several prescriptions, but they still didn't improve. Later, Lu Xiaofeng found a folk remedy and improved a little. These days, he prepared the medicine early every morning and sent it.

Yang Hao turned coldly and blamed, "Are you all dead? Can't you even boil a medicine?" Qing'er lowered her head and did not dare to say anything. At this time, Yang Hao was no longer sleepy and went back to the study to modify the unfinished apology. At the beginning of Chen Shi, Mu Tong, the secretary, brought in the face washing water.

Yang Hao handed the apology to him, pointed to the conference table opposite and said, "You are here, polish it well." Mu Tong is a new book office recommended by the Economics School. He is a wealthy family in Fengzhou and was once a student of the Imperial College. He couldn't stand the old-fashioned atmosphere in the Imperial College, so he returned to his hometown in Fengzhou. Later, he heard that the Fengzhou Economics School was quite popular, so he came to take the exam. He studied for two years and was recommended to Yang Hao as a book office with the first place. When Mu Lanqing left, he recommended him to replace him. Yang Hao felt that although this person was talented, he was a little arrogant and determined to temper him for a while before making a decision.

Mu Tong knew very well that this apology was of great importance, and Yang Hao could hand it over to himself to modify and polish it, which was undoubtedly a great trust in himself. So he took the pen and ink and pondered it at his desk.

Yang Hao called Zhang Lang and explained, "You go to the second wife to see if Lu Xiaofeng has left, and copy a copy of the prescription he made." Zhang Lang replied shortly after he went there: "Lu Xiaofeng has left. Do you want to go to the Economics School to ask for a prescription?" Yang Hao nodded, and then said, "Mr. Xiao is leaving at noon. You can prepare and then go to the Economics School."

Shortly after Zhang Lang left, Mu Tong handed back the revised apology memorial. Yang Hao secretly admired it when he read it. It is said that Mu Tong is a talented man in Fengzhou and is indeed extraordinary. He copied the apology memorial apology aside. Although there are many places to change this, it is not easy to see, and it is invisibly giving Yang Hao a face. Yang Hao is very satisfied with this.

After breakfast, Yang Hao presided over a meeting and finalized the candidates for the heads of the Public Affairs Bureau, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Education Bureau, the Finance and Taxation Bureau, the Agriculture and Structure Bureau and the Military Service Bureau. The functions and status of the Six Bureaus are equivalent to the original Six Cao Judicial Office, covering all aspects of economic and social management. In addition to being in charge, each bureau also has co-organizers, deacons and other officials. Six districts are set up under Fengzhou, Tiande Jun, Xiao Chang'an and other jurisdictions.

After listening to opinions from all parties, Yang Hao formally appointed Wan Min'an as the head of the Public Affairs Bureau, Zhan Tian as the head of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Tan Kong as the head of the Education Bureau, Feng Yi as the head of the Agricultural and Structure Bureau, and Jiang Tao as the head of the Military Service Bureau.

Each bureau set up office offices in Feng'an. The former Liucao Office was still located in Fengzhou. The Sixcao judges took the salary as the officers, but they had no other decision-making or administrative power. In order to appease the public, Yang Hao gave everyone the power to inspect and inspect. The results of the inspection and inspection can be directly reported to the governor Yang Hao.

It was almost noon, and Zhang Lang brought back the prescription that Lu Xiaofeng found for Lu Rui. Yang Hao looked at it and saw that several medicinal materials were ordinary and there was nothing strange about it. So he returned it to Zhang Lang: "Go and find Qin Sihu to put a few medicines on it." After Zhang Lang went there, he rushed over with Qin Sihu. Yang Hao stood up and asked with a smile: "Just make a few medicines and let Zhang Lang bring them over. Why don't you go there in person?" Qin Sihu saw that there was no one around, and whispered to Yang Hao: "This prescription is weird, I have to come."

Yang Hao was secretly shocked and asked, "Is anyone secretly poisoning?"

Qin Sihu hurriedly said, "That's not, but... some... the medicine is not right, and the prescription prescribed is not helpful to the wife's illness at all." Yang Hao read the prescription repeatedly and called Zhang Lang: "Go and take some of the medicine that the third wife poured out. Remember, don't show off."

Zhang Lang quickly took the medicine residue. Yang Hao asked Zhang Lang to go out and guard the door, and no one was allowed to come in by his summons. Qin Sihu carefully examined the medicine residue, and finally shook his head and said, "Except for not curing the disease, this medicine is not harmful." Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head and smiled: "It seems that it is said that the treatment of serious illnesses in the side of the room is not the same."

Qin Sihu smiled and said, "As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread to get rid of it. The wife's illness is actually not a big deal. She will be cured in a while. Young people are not well-educated and are deceived by quack doctors." Qin Sihu secretly held the prescription in his hand, took a pen and wrote a copy and handed it to Yang Hao and said, "Let the wife take it slowly, and it will be cured naturally when the time comes."

Yang Hao laughed and said, "This is called heart disease and still need to be treated with heart medicine." After chatting for a while, Qin Sihu said goodbye. Lu Xiaofeng and Mu Tong were waiting outside the gate. Seeing Qin Sihu come out, they came forward one on the left and one on the right and then got on a carriage.

Qin Sihu pointed to the noses of the two and cursed, "Is it really ignorant and fearless. Can this prescription be changed casually? Fortunately, it fell into my hands, otherwise it would be a terrible crime to move the house."

Lu Xiaofeng said with a dark face: "If it weren't for the rescue of Mr. Lu Xiaofeng, it would be a death--" He took out a bag of silver and said: "I heard that Mr. is very merciful. He wants to run Jishengtang in the city to help the poor, and he needs money to do good deeds. A little bit of a word is not worthy of respect." Qin Sihu did not accept his money and laughed: "Money is a good thing, but this thing is not used well, and it is also a disaster for life." Lu Xiaofeng's face turned dark when he heard this. Qin Sihu turned his face and asked Mu Tong: "I ask you, why did you instigate Xiaofeng to change the prescription?"

Mu Tong said with a bitter face: "All of those medicinal materials are worth a thousand gold. Xiao Feng is still a student. I am afraid of causing misunderstandings from adults. Therefore, I thought that Angelica was also used to regulate blood. Who knows how to match those flavors... it turns into poison." Mu Tong slapped himself hard and scolded: "It's all my lard that is fascinated by my heart. Sir, I'm so righteous. Mu Tong recognizes you as a friend. What's the point of being useful in the future? Just give me an order."

Lu Xiaofeng also hurriedly said, "Sir, I am Xiaofeng's great benefactor, but I have ordered you to die!"
