Shuntianfu Yamen.

The public house is as warm as spring, and Fu Yin Xiayan and Fu Cheng Zou Xueyi are sitting opposite each other and drinking tea.

It was getting darker and darker day by day, and the light snow outside the window was falling non-stop.

The two are also busy.

In the huge capital, there are actually many things about the judiciary and the people. But as an official in the capital, it is actually very difficult to be an official in Shuntianfu, and it is better to do more and make more mistakes, so it is better to do less. At this time, officials at all levels pricked up their ears and waited for the sound of the bang to sound before they could disperse and return home.

In other state capitals, Fu Yin and Fu Cheng generally have contradictions as the first and second in command, but Xia Yan and Zou Xueyi are quite good friends, just because Zou Xueyi never thought about being Fu Yin, and Xia Yan is also looking forward to being transferred as soon as possible, so the two have no conflict of interest.

Xia Yan held the teacup and sighed: "Last month, the mob opposed the prohibition of alcohol, and the old man was still hoping that he could be demoted to another place to become an official by taking advantage of this mess, but it's a pity. ”

"If the government can let it go, it will probably be a transfer envoy, or a political envoy, which is all fat shortage." Zou Xueyi said with a smile.

When Xia Yan heard about these two official positions, his eyes showed yearning.

"It doesn't matter if you're fat or not, the old man really wants to go elsewhere and straighten his waist." He shook his head and sighed: "There are many powerful and high-ranking officials in Beijing, and Shuntianfu is angry everywhere, and nothing has been done by the master, and you and I live as if we are ...... A dog. ”

As if to confirm what Xia Yan said, the next moment a servant rushed in and shouted, "Fuzun, Qi ...... His Royal Highness the King of Qi and the horses are here! ”

Xia Yan's eyes froze.

But I heard two bangs suddenly sound outside--the time has come to disperse.

Xia Yan and Zou Xueyi led the officials all the way out of the mansion, but the first thing that caught their eyes was a big coffin.

Both of them were shocked, just thinking that something big had happened.

King Qi came with the horses, how big is this case?

The two glanced at each other and decided with a tacit understanding: This case can't be handled by Shuntianfu!

"I've seen His Highness and the horse."

The officials saluted, looking at the shiny armoured troops brought by the other party, and the two of them chuckled in their hearts.

Wang Xiao's face was quite gentle, and he smiled and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" I ordered a meal, and the restaurant delivered it in a moment. ”

Xia Yan had a bad premonition in his heart, but he said with a smile on his face: "The concubine is too bothered." At this time, it has been dispersed, so let everyone go home for dinner. ”

Wang smiled: "Whatever you scatter, stay and work overtime." ”

Although Xia Yan had never heard of this word, he roughly understood what it meant, and his face became extremely embarrassed.

He glanced at the coffin, suppressed his curiosity, and told himself not to ask who was in the coffin.

For the official Shun Tianfu, the key is to recruit less trouble.

"Don't look, the coffin is empty." Wang said with a smile: "The Shuntian Mansion and all the officials are now requisitioned by His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and the next place is the 'Beijing Epidemic Prevention Command Center', take the order." ”

Xia Yan's face changed, and he said in his heart: It's better to have a bitter master lying in the coffin and let the old man judge the case!

Once Shuntianfu becomes a bullshit center, he will have to put the brand of King Qi and his party on his body. It is difficult to be an official in Shuntianfu, and if it is involved in the battle for the storage position, it will be even more unsurvivable.

I should have dispersed early today!

"Your Highness, the colt." Xia Yan had no choice but to smile and said, "If the lower official can work hard for dogs and horses, it will be a great honor." It's just that...... Shuntian Mansion is really not suitable, a government affairs are heavy, and everyone can't get away. Second, the officials in the government are all incompetent and unusable. ”

"Yes, yes, it's useless." Zou Xueyi also said respectfully.

Over there, Zhou Yan glanced at Wang Xiao, as if to say: Look, I'll just say it's not that simple.

"Burdensome? I see you're very idle, waiting early to get off work. The king smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is not here to ask Lord Xia's opinion, but to give orders." ”

Zhou Yan and Xia Yan both felt very helpless.

Xia Yan pondered slightly for a while, his face had changed to a solemn expression, and he said eloquently: "Donkey, this move is inappropriate." Shuntianfu is in charge of the rule of the people in Beijing, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, everything is regulated. His Majesty appointed the ministers as the parents of the people of Beijing, that is, he fancied the impartiality of the ministers and was a direct minister. But if His Royal Highness the King of Qi settles in the palace, this ...... Big taboo. ”

Although there was only the word 'taboo', he knew that Wang Xiao could understand it.

Impartiality refers to the battle for the storage position, and the taboo refers to the prince's control of the Jingshi, which is suspected of rebellion. This is not only a taboo in Shuntianfu, but also a taboo for King Qi and Wang Xiao.

Sure enough, in a word, Zhou Yan hesitated a little.

Do you really want to make your father suspicious for something that has nothing to do with your own body?

In the past, when I read history, I also felt yearning for those characters who were dedicated to the people and worked hard, but now that things have fallen on my head, I know that it is not easy. Today, if you really occupy Shuntian Mansion, how many people know that they are for epidemic prevention? Others are afraid that they will only say that they take the opportunity to seize power, and even try to control the capital.

The crime of controlling the capital cannot be borne by himself, the prince.

The future of one's own body and the lives of others, how to choose between the two?

The next moment, Wang Xiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "We have already built a private guard, what is Your Highness afraid of?" There was no turning back from the bow. ”

Zhou Yan's face fell, and he became more and more speechless.

How did you get such a brother-in-law?

~~

Qin Xuance raised his hand high and shouted, "Enter the Shuntian Mansion." ”

"Yes!"

The white tiger also said loudly: "Please invite the officials and masters to enter the government office." ”

"Yes!"

If the white tiger didn't shout this, this team of refugees probably wouldn't dare to touch the officials of Shuntianfu. But there is a big difference in this sentence, please ask the officials to do business.

It should not be possible for these soldiers to fight, but it is not much of a problem to take some civil officials and scribes, so they stepped forward one after another, one by one, lightly and lightly, or pulled the sleeves of the officials of the Shuntian Prefecture, or pushed their backs, and took them to the government office.

When those officials looked at it, they saw that these big-headed soldiers looked fierce and vicious, and they were very powerful in armor and knives, but their expressions were shy and respectful, and they were also a little stunned for a while.

After a while, the officials who were looking forward to the dispersal were escorted back.

Wang Xiao shook his head and laughed at himself: "Forcing people to work overtime, I really lack morality." ”

Zhou Yan thought to himself: What you lack is more than virtue.

~~

Outside the lobby, there is a plaque of "turning into a group of Li", which means that the people of Li are influenced by kindness, and the hall is hung with "Mirror Hanging", and the screen behind is carved with a crane picture, which is very majestic.

Zhou Yan was pushed by Wang Xiao to sit in the position of the chief officer, and hurriedly said, "This is not suitable." ”

Wang Xiao said casually: "Your Highness doesn't have to be polite. ”

Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.

This is not a matter of being polite or not, well, how can the prince sit in the position of a mere third-rank official?

But there are so many places that this brother-in-law messes around that people are powerless to blame.

Over there, Xia Yan was taken to the hall and stood, and he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart.

No wonder the country will not be a country, how can you let two hairy boys mess around so much?!

His eyes swept over Qin Xiaozhu and Wang Jue again, and he scolded in his heart: It's the 'four' hairy boys.

"Smack!" Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

Wang Xiao stood next to Zhou Yan, slapped the shocking wood hard, and shouted: "Now in this capital, there is dung all over the place, and the filth is not very good. The ditches are dirty, and the smell is fumigated. Rats, insects, flies and gnats are rampant and scattered into plagues. The plague of dysentery is still endless. To the people inside and outside the capital, the stiff servants have ...... one after another"

Zhou Yan listened to him talk eloquently, and his words were different from before, and he was quite surprised. turned his head to look, but saw Wang Xiao holding a note in his hand and reading it carefully, thinking that Wang Zhen wrote it to him.
