Tao Chuankai, governor of Dawei City, thirty-six years old.

He is the youngest governor of the Tang Dynasty and a talent cultivated by Emperor Li Hong.

Li Hong set up an internal academy by himself, and Guozijian recommended candidates, and then he personally reviewed them, and the final admission ratio reached an astonishing 1:1,000.

It's about to catch up with the national exam in the future.

Of course, considering the total population of Datang, this admission ratio is even more terrifying than the national examination in later generations.

Li Hong has two purposes for doing this, the first purpose is very simple, to cultivate his henchmen, and young people's thinking is the easiest to control, so even if the process is a little longer, Li Hong doesn't care. He wants a group of courtiers who are completely loyal to him!

The second purpose is that Li Hong wants to break hands with the academy.

He had never mentioned this purpose to anyone, and it was his own little selfishness.

In the court of the Tang Dynasty, the proportion of officials from the academy has already exceeded the standard, if only they were some wine bags and rice bags, but these people are all full of combat effectiveness, even in the face of the old oilmen in the officialdom. Li Hong once cultivated a force, that is, Jiangnan Shizi, but those Jiangnan Shizi were too gentle, and they were not the opponents of the academy students at all, let alone compete with the old oilmen in the officialdom.

Of course, Jiangnan Shizi is not useless, and upright young officials are still needed, so Li Hong still gave great support to Jiangnan Shizi.

However, what he really trusts is the talent he has cultivated himself.

Tao Chuankai is one of them.

The position of governor of Tuwa City is actually not the most suitable position for Tao Chuankai, but Li Hong is a little worried, if he comes up, he will get a very important position for Tao Chuankai, for fear that he will suffer a loss, and once his self-confidence is hit, he will be abolished.

It's also good to go to Dawei City first to experience the experience.

At the same time, Li Hong also had an idea, that is, he hoped that Tao Chuankai could subdue the Zhou Family's Flying Tiger Army, which was a very combat-effective team, and if it could not be controlled in his hands, it would be too wasteful.

After Tao Chuankai arrived in Dawa City, he was inconspicuous at first, and his relationship with the Zhou Family Flying Tiger Army was relatively average, and he did not urgently have a good relationship with the Zhou Family Flying Tiger Army, but started from the issue of people's livelihood. There are still many problems in Dawei City, and Tao Chuankai grasps one of them and uses all his strength to do it.

And then he succeeded.

The common people have a very good sense of this new governor, and this is the result of Tao Chuankai's desire.

And if you get the praise of the people, you will naturally be able to get the praise of the Zhou Family Flying Tiger Army.

By now, the soldiers of the Zhou Family's Flying Tiger Army are no longer very resistant to Tao Chuankai, and they will even take the initiative to help him deal with some things.

The situation is slowly improving.

Just when Tao Chuankai was about to roll up his sleeves and do a big job, a difficult problem was placed in front of him.

At this moment, Tao Chuankai was sitting on the Taishi chair, and a secret letter was placed in front of him.

On the opposite side, there stood a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe.

"Your Excellency, you have also seen the secret letter, give an order. The middle-aged Taoist said slowly.

"When will Wangbeilou be able to command the governor?" Tao Chuankai stood up and rubbed his eyebrows: "I will consider the things mentioned in the secret letter." You go and rest first. ”

The middle-aged Taoist was not surprised by Tao Chuankai's reaction, and even all this was in his calculations, "Lord Governor, you must know that it is the daughter of the Demon King. ”

Tao Chuankai said: "I know, you don't need to remind me. ”

"Since you know, then what are you hesitating about?" the middle-aged Taoist said, "Could it be that you want to let go of the Demon King's daughter in private?"

Tao Chuankai smiled: "Dao Chief, things can be eaten indiscriminately, but words can't be talked indiscriminately." I am the governor of Dawei City, appointed by His Majesty himself, and I will do whatever His Majesty says. Now I have not received a direct order from Your Majesty, and there is no jade seal on the secret letter you gave me. To put it mildly, I could even arrest you for forging a secret letter. ”

"You!" The middle-aged Taoist's face turned a little red: "Lord Governor, could it be that you don't dare to go against the academy as rumored by the outside world? The academy harbors the daughter of the demon king, and it is already an enemy of the Tang Dynasty! The sooner you recognize the situation, the better the road after that." ”

Tao Chuankai said: "Oh, what is the situation? Do you want me to follow Wangbeilou? If I remember correctly, the previous national teachers paid the price of their lives in exchange for the independence of Wangbeilou. Now the National Teacher wants to let Wangbeilou return to the temple and become a dog?"

"What nonsense!" The middle-aged Taoist said angrily: "Tao Chuankai, you dare to humiliate the national teacher, this is a serious crime, I will definitely show your majesty and let your majesty strictly investigate this matter." ”

Tao Chuankai waved his hand and said indifferently: "Then you go, I won't stop you." Come, send off. ”

Several soldiers walked in, ignoring the resistance of the middle-aged Taoist, and dragged him out.

The middle-aged Taoist wanted to teach these guys who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth, but finally endured it.

If he does it, then he will really become an unreasonable party.

"Tao Chuankai, you can ignore the order of Wangbeilou. But the order of the military department is already on the way, I see how you still refuse! At the same time, the secret letters of the queen mother will also follow, you can block a few!" The middle-aged Taoist laughed and was dragged out.

Tao Chuankai rubbed his chest, a little stuffy.

He took a long breath, took the already cold tea and drank it down, and his eyes fell on the secret letter again.

The content of the secret letter is simple.

It can be summed up in three words.

There is no mercy for killing.

Tao Chuankai thought about it for a long time, and finally sat down, picked up the pen and began to write the recital.

The fact that the North Tower is biased towards the temple must be known to His Majesty the Emperor.

Maybe His Majesty the Emperor already knew, but Tao Chuankai still had to write this recital.

Halfway through the writing, the lord Bo hurriedly ran in and said breathlessly: "My lord, the people from the military department are here, and there is also a secret agent from Qin Tianjian who came at the same time. ”

Tao Chuankai put down his pen and leaned on the Taishi chair, his expression was very helpless.

It's really fast.

"Let them in. Tao Chuankai said: "Wait, the people of Qin Tianjian, the people from the military department, you take them to the wing, don't be lazy." ”

"Yes, sir. The Lord Bo hurried away again.

A moment later, Qin Tianjian's spies walked in.

This spy was very direct, and when he came up, he said: "Tao Chuankai, the governor of Tuwa City, will take Yi's order." ”

Tao Chuankai walked up to the secret agent and saluted: "The queen mother is a thousand years old and a thousand years old." ”

"Please Tao Chuankai cooperate with the military to drive the daughter of the Demon King away from the Tang Realm. The agent said.

Tao Chuankai suddenly raised his head, with a slight doubt in his eyes: "Just to drive away?"

"If you have a chance to kill, it's always better. The spy said, "But this is the mother's message, and the adults should keep it in mind." ”

Tao Chuankai was silent for a moment, and then saluted: "Tao Chuankai, lead the order." The queen mother Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”
