Chapter 332 Come here for fame(2/2)

When Ouyang Rong heard Chen Canjun reporting this matter, he couldn't help but put down the document in his hand and raised his eyebrows.

He had heard of this man, not just in the Guizhou tragedy.

Lan Changhao, a native of Yangzhou, was admitted as a Jinshi in the second year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, seven years earlier than Ouyang Rong.

When he was admitted to the imperial examination in the second year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, he was also very young, only two years older than Ouyang Rong when he was admitted.

At this time, most of the imperial examinations were monopolized by wealthy families, and there were very few Jinshi from poor families in the south, only a few every year.

Lan Changhao was a relatively famous person before Ouyang Rong, the youngest Southern Jinshi, was born.

However, the first thing that made him famous happened not long after he was admitted as a Jinshi.

Lan Changhao believed that he was overqualified for his talent and inferior in position, so he directly wrote to a prime minister from the same hometown at that time, and his words were not shocking and he would die:

"The people are starving to death, so why don't you give up your throne and please return?"

Although Qian, among all the subjects in the Zhou and Zhou dynasties, the Jinshi subject was the most glorious and was known as the "first-grade white shirt", a Jinshi who had just entered the officialdom was extremely crazy to say such a thing to the prime minister of the current dynasty.

It's over.

At that time, the old prime minister was naturally worried, laughed it off, and ignored it.

But this matter was also regarded as a joke by the Luoyang scholars at that time.

However, this Lan Changhao still has some talents, otherwise he would not have reached the position of Guizhou Governor at a young age.

Of course, if compared with a guy like Ouyang Rong, who is weak in talent and has an official position in a wealthy and prosperous city, he will naturally be far behind.

Comparing people with each other makes people angry...

The previous tragedy in Guizhou was quite a big deal.

However, Lan Changshi was not affected too much and was only fined three years.

This may be related to the special situation of Guizhou.

Guizhou is located in the west corner of Lingnan Road. It is very remote. It is adjacent to many Jizhou states, which are border states where barbarian chieftains gather. The public security is not very good, and there are many Han family men hoarding land and garrisoning troops.

The current governor of Guizhou was deposed for committing crimes, and the governor, Lan Changhao, who was familiar with local affairs, was temporarily in charge of state affairs.

Although the Guizhou tragedy had a bad impact, it can be considered that the local government has always had a strong style.

It can only be said that Guizhou was in the limelight that time, and the public opinion was accidentally aroused. If it were normal, if a few people died in the border state capital, as long as they did not report it to heaven, the central government would not pursue anything.

At this moment, I don't know whether it was the two kings of the Wei family who wanted to buy horse bones for a large sum of money, or whether Lan Changshi had given up his arrogant temper and hugged Chaozhong's thigh.

He was not dismissed from his post, he was only criticized and fined, and then kept a low profile.

"Why did Lan Changshi come to Jiangzhou?"

"He said he came to visit Master Chang Shi and ask for his experience in making statues."

Ouyang Rong sighed, but still got up and went to pick up the person.

At Xunyangdu Wharf, we quickly met people from Guizhou.

Ouyang Rong discovered that Lan Changshi was a tall and thin young man.

He is about the same height as Ouyang Rong, and his lips are as thin as paper. Although he is a man, he has a pair of pink and phoenix eyes, which are shining brightly when he looks around.

He looked a little haughty when he got off the boat.

No wonder the Guizhou government had been so aggressive in their actions before, and this person was not easy to get along with at first sight... Ouyang Rong thought to himself, the first feeling he had when they first met.

"Master Lan."

"Master Ouyang."

Lan Changhao stepped off the boat and immediately saw the young figure in fox-white fur who stood out from the crowd. His expression was a little surprised, and his pair of slender red phoenix eyes carefully looked up and down at the outstanding appearance of this young celebrity.

Lan Changhao's arrogant expression calmed down a little, and he bowed his hand politely towards Ouyang Rong.

Ouyang Rong kept smiling, leading him to enter the city, and treated him seriously.

During the luncheon, Lan Changhao asked a few things about the Temple of the Holy Master not long ago, and then toasted and praised him. However, Ouyang Rong found that he frequently looked at the sun outside the window, as if he was a little absent-minded.

After the banquet, Ouyang Rong was busy with official duties, so he apologized and left first.

He took the initiative and promised to entertain him tomorrow and show him around the Jiangzhou lobby.

Unexpectedly, Blue Trombone waved his hand and refused.

He politely informed Ouyang Rong that he would only stay for two days and there was no need for him to accompany him.

"I'm sorry to welcome you today, so I won't disturb Ouyang Changshi."

"That's fine, Lan Changshi has a good rest."

Ouyang Rong nodded calmly and looked at the back of Lan Changhao and others as they returned to the official residence.

The next day, morning.

In Jiangzhou lobby, Yan Liulang walked into the main hall and said directly to someone who was immersed in papers:

"Mingfu guessed it right. Lan Changshi took people out early this morning to visit people in the city."

Ouyang Rong didn't raise his head: "Who are you visiting?"

"Our great governor."

Ouyang Rong immediately put down his pen, with a vigilant look on his face: "What is he looking for Wang Lengran for, a routine visit?"

"I don't know." Yan Liulang shook his head.

After a pause, he revealed:

"Ming Mansion, last night I specially drank and chatted with some Guizhou officials he brought with him. I found out that when Lan Changshi passed through Hongzhou Mansion, he also stayed for a few days to meet with Governor Zhu of Hongzhou."

Ouyang Rong looked thoughtful: "Are you looking for the governors of the two governors continuously..."

At this moment Chen Canjun walked in and respectfully said:

"Sir Chang Shi, today Mr. Wang suddenly came to the official office and ordered his subordinates to issue an order to summon the generals from Zhechong Prefecture in Jiangzhou to enter the city to discuss military affairs."

Ouyang Rong took a deep look at Chen Canjun, who began to show his affection towards King Xunyang after he became the governor of Jiangnan by the emperor's favor, and nodded:

"I know, thank you very much Chen Canjun."

Chen Canjun waved his hand quickly: "You're welcome, sir, it's just a minor matter."

Ouyang Rong touched his chin with his finger and muttered:

"Lan Changhao visited Hongzhou and Jiangzhou one after another, and Wang Lengran summoned the soldiers of Zhechong Mansion. Is there something involving military affairs?"

But he really couldn't figure out how Guizhou on Lingnan Road, which was thousands of miles away, was related to Hongzhou and Jiangzhou in the middle of Jiangnan Road.

It doesn't seem like it was the Wei family who was involved in the connection. After all, it would be too obvious to come here with such a big fanfare.

Ouyang Rong shook his head.

Wang Lengran single-handedly controlled Jiangzhou's military affairs and guarded them tightly, never allowing him to interfere.

Before, he was unwilling to intervene blatantly and was worried about alerting others, so now his eyesight is dark.

At the moment, it seems that we can no longer sit still and wait for death.

What if the safety of Prince Xunyang's palace is involved?
