Chapter 924: The Magnificent Power of Han (Forty-Eight)

As the New Year approaches, Jicheng becomes busier and busier. More and more people who had fled have returned to Jicheng, which has restored some vitality to Jicheng. Although the pain caused by the war has made Jicheng There are many scars, but the self-healing ability of the people is always very strong. The merchants from all over the world are doing their best to ensure the supply of all the needs of Jicheng. Businessmen gather from all over the city, and the bustling commerce in Jicheng begins to flourish. Rejuvenate.

The renovation of Jicheng Palace has been basically completed, and the damaged parts have been repaired. The colors of the palace are mainly bright yellow and vermilion. In his last life, Gao Yuan once visited the Forbidden City specifically. The grand palace once amazed him. , has been in this world for many years, and his memory of the previous life is very vague, but he knows that this Jicheng Palace is obviously a grade lower than the Forbidden City, both in terms of scale and grandeur, it is the same as the sky and the earth.

After he unifies the entire Central Plains, he will definitely re-build a ten thousand-year capital city that will stand firm. Standing on a high place, looking at the palace complex that will become his new home, Gao Yuan said in his heart.

There was the sound of rapid footsteps behind him. Gao Yuan turned around and saw his personal bodyguard He Weiyuan running over with a smile on his face, "Captain, I'm so happy, so happy."

"What makes you so happy?" Gao Yuan asked a little strangely. There has been no war recently. It must not be a big victory in the front.

"We sent a quick report from eight hundred miles away from Jishi City. The second lady gave birth to a big fat boy!" He Weiyuan said with joy.

"Having given birth?" Gao Yuan's eyes widened, "Isn't it going to be another month?"

"I heard that the second wife was helping to move the things, but she accidentally had fetal gas, and it was still difficult to give birth. Fortunately, there was no surprise," He Weiyuan said.

"This He Lanyan can't calm down all the time. What if there is something wrong with this?" Gao Yuan felt a chill in his heart. Dystocia, in this era, can kill someone in minutes.

"God bless you!" Ning Xin patted her chest on the side, with lingering fears, "Oh my God, it was difficult to give birth. Fortunately, Yan Zi is in good health. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would be bad. Congratulations to the big brother, there is a successor, and another boy has been added."

Gao Yuan laughed and stretched out his hand to take Ning Xin into his arms, "You are the only one left now. When will you give me another son and a half daughter?"

Ning Xin didn't expect Gao Yuan's thinking to jump so much. She immediately blushed and tried to break away. However, with her little strength, Gao Yuan couldn't make a move. She struggled twice but couldn't even close the distance. .

"Someone is here."

"Are you referring to Wei Yuan? If you don't even have this bit of vision, how can you still be my personal guard?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

When Ning Xin turned her head to look, He Weiyuan had already turned around. In this moment, he was almost retreating to the corner.

"Speaking of which, you have been with me longer than both of them. Can't you fall behind? Do you want me to work another shift tonight?" Gao Yuan teased.

Ning Xin's face turned red, "I have something else to do tonight. Haven't I been meeting the former Yan Kingdom nobles who came to Jicheng from various places these days according to your arrangement? Tonight, there are several distinguished people from Kunzhou and Cangzhou. The wives of big and influential families will come to see me, but they have no time to pay attention to you."

Gao Yuan coughed dryly, "Then send them away earlier."

"How can that be done?" Ning Xin smiled and poked Gao Yuan's chest, "We don't even have troops stationed in these places now. We cannot rule the place without these local gentry and nobles. Since they have been summoned to Jicheng, they cannot be ignored. They, you are going to see their head of the family, while I am going to entertain their female relatives. I am afraid that you will not be able to escape after a drink, and with your capacity for drinking, I am afraid that you will be summoned back again."

Hearing Ning Xin making fun of his drinking capacity, Gao Yuan couldn't help scratching his head in distress, "Drinking, for me, is really a hard job. You have a lot of it, but I can't pull you out to drink them down."

Seeing Gao Yuan's embarrassment, Ning Xin giggled proudly.

"Brother Gao, you should also think of a name for Sister Yan's son, right?"

"The boss's name is Zhiyuan, and I'll call him Mingzhi! Gao Zhiyuan, Gao Mingzhi, what do you think?"

"Tranquility leads to far-reaching goals, and indifference leads to clear aspirations!" Ning Xin smiled and said, "Not bad."

"Of course not bad!" Gao Yuan smiled.

"Go back, I'm afraid the news has spread in Jicheng by now. You may have to drink a few more drinks at tonight's banquet." Ning Xin smiled and said, "Would you like me to prepare the hangover soup in advance?"

"I was being persecuted outside. You might as well persecute those people inside to take revenge on me." Gao Yuan gritted his teeth.

Ning Xin laughed loudly, "Those are all women, I can't do anything about it. Besides, it would not look good if we carried these ladies out of the palace one by one. You'd better stop thinking about it!"

Gao Yuan smacked his lips in pain, reached out to hold Ning Xin, and walked towards the palace. Naturally, he couldn't escape from the banquet tonight. The gentry, nobles and actual rulers from Kunzhou and Cangzhou came to express their sincerity to him. , you have to give some face, right? Being able to capture these two places without using any weapons is the best thing.

Mo Ren of Kunzhou and Li Can of Cangzhou entered the palace accompanied by Yan Shenghao with some trepidation. The banquet was set up in the Qinzheng Hall. Unlike the two long tables with seats several meters apart that they were familiar with, there was actually a large round table in the Qinzheng Hall, which was already filled with delicacies and fine wines. Gao Yuan sat upright on the main seat. On both sides of him, there were several other people whom the two did not know, presumably to accompany the guests.

"It is a great honor for our humble home to have such distinguished guests. Welcome!" Seeing the two people coming in, Gao Yuan stood up with a big laugh and walked towards them.

"Greetings, Governor!" Mo Ren and Li Can hurriedly stepped forward and greeted them. His knees softened and he was about to kneel down.

"No need to be polite!" Gao Yuan smiled and grabbed one of them with one hand, and pulled them up alive. "You two know the big picture and the righteousness, and you have saved Kunzhou and Cangzhou from the suffering of war. You are great contributors."

"The governor's reputation is known to the world, and the governor's benevolence is also known to everyone. We in Kunzhou have always respected the governor, so naturally we will follow the governor's lead." Mo Ren hurriedly said. Compared with Li Can, Mo Ren had another worry in his heart. You know, when he saw that Yuyang County Magistrate Jiang Dawei was powerful, he married his daughter to Jiang Dawei as a concubine, and even gave birth to a son Unexpectedly, Jiang Dawei and his son Jiang Xinliang turned against each other, and Yuyang County was in chaos. Jiang Dawei had been catching eagles all his life, but was blinded by an eagle in his old age. He actually lost to his son and was imprisoned in a separate courtyard. But Jiang Xinliang did not get any good results. He was severely used by Tan Feng and Zhou Yu. However, Zhengdong Mansion also intervened in this. In the end, Yuyang County fell into the hands of Zhengdong Army. Jiang Dawei took his daughter and grandson and followed Tan Feng to Jicheng, where they lived. The Qi army broke into the city, and Jiang Dawei's family all died in the chaos. Because of these reasons, he was afraid that Gao Yuan would settle old scores, which would be very bad, so Gao Yuan just As soon as he opened his mouth, he quickly expressed his position.

Compared to Mo Ren, Cangzhou Li Can was much more calm. He didn't have much interaction with Gao Yuan. When Gao Yuan sent a letter to Cangzhou, he agreed to come to Jicheng without much hesitation, because he thought that Cangzhou was simply unable to compete with the Eastern Expedition Army. As long as he could guarantee the prosperity and wealth of his Li family, he didn't care about anything else. Moreover, Gao Yuan didn't treat the nobles and local officials of the Former Yan Kingdom harshly. Look at Yan Shenghao, who is now the third person in the Eastern Expedition Army, and Zhou Yuan, the Grand Commandant of Zhou, who used to be Gao Yuan's mortal enemy, is now leisurely fishing in Dayan Lake. His granddaughter even has an engagement with Gao Yuan's eldest son, and Ning Xin, the former Yan Kingdom's imperial Doctor Shi tried to assassinate Gao Yuan many times but failed. But Ning Xin actually became Gao Yuan's third wife. From all the signs, Gao Yuan is indeed a man with great ambitions. He did these things not for no reason, but to send a strong signal to all the nobles of Yan State, that is, those who obey me will prosper, and those who disobey me will perish. As long as they follow his rules, he will be tolerant.

"Cangzhou is willing to follow the governor all the way forward." Li Can's statement was simple, clear, and sonorous. Gao Yuan not only carefully looked at this majestic and exaggeratedly fat man, but also concluded that this man was better than Mo Ren at a glance. More decisions.

"Okay, okay, two great men, come, please take your seats. The Eastern Expedition Army entered Jicheng not long ago, and the chefs in the palace disappeared. Gao can only capture some cooks from the army. It is impossible to get delicacies from the mountains and the sea, but the original taste is better, generous and generous." Gao Yuan smiled and invited the two people, and the two people standing behind Gao Yuan also bowed to give way.

"Let me introduce you to you, this one is Cao Tiancheng, the boss of Sihai Commerce. This one is also one of the major shareholders of Sihai Commerce, the person in charge of Hejian County, Mei Yipo!"

The two of Mei Yipo didn't know much, but Cao Tiancheng's name was big. This little old man who looked inconspicuous, but The money bag of Zhengdong Mansion, and one son and one son-in-law, both are great figures. His son Cao Tianci is the president of the Supervisory Council of Zhengdong Army, controlling the dark forces of Zhengdong Army, and his son-in-law is now the Protector of Liaodong of Zhengdong Mansion, controlling Dayan, Hetao, and Liaodong counties. Although he has no military power, he is still a real powerful figure."

"Hello Mr. Cao, hello Mr. Mei!" The two did not dare to be negligent and saluted them.

"Okay, everyone knows each other, sit down." Gao Yuan sat down first, Yan Shenghao asked Mo Ren and Li Can to sit on Gao Yuan's left and right, and he accompanied Cao Tiancheng and Mei Yipo as prime ministers.

"This is the first A glass of wine, of course we have to toast to the governors Mo and Li for leading the army and civilians of Hezhou back. You two are so righteous, Gao Yuan offers a glass to you two." Gao Yuan raised the wine glass in his hand and said.

"I don't deserve it. The governor has returned with righteousness, and will lead us to unify the Central Plains and establish a unique unified country." Li Can raised his wine glass high.

Gao Yuan laughed. This Li Can is indeed much more insightful than Mo Ren. He has guessed what he wants to do. "According to the good words of the governor Li, let's drink this glass! Yan Yizheng, Lao Cao, Mr. Mei, you have to accompany me."

The six people laughed and raised their glasses and drank them all. (To be continued)
