"Master, Zhou Peigong, Nalan Mingzhu, and Chen Tingjing, they are coming by order, and they are waiting outside the upper study first!" At this time, Sandezi strode in, came to Wu Yue's side, and said in a deep voice. Wu Yue nodded, raised his hand towards Sandezi, and asked him to announce the three of them into the palace.

Sandezi bowed in response, and then quickly retreated.

After Wu Yue sat down, Sandezi led the three of Zhou Peigong in.

After Zhou Peigong, Nalan Mingzhu, and Chen Tingjing bowed to Wu Yue, the seats brought by Sandezi sat under the dragon case one by one, on the left and right.

Wu Yue looked at the three of them fixedly, let out a long breath, and then looked sideways at Zhou Peigong.

"Zhou Peigong, I want you to be the patrol envoy, patrol the world for me, and watch hundreds of officials, what do you think about this?"

Hearing this, Zhou Peigong stood up, bowed to Wu Yue and said, "The emperor believes in Wechen and lets Wechen take up the position of inspector, and Wechen is grateful." For the inspection, Weichen thinks so. ”

"At present, the court, although the rule of officials needs to be reformed, but the court is at the time of employing people, and dare not make a big move, Weichen thinks that the inspection of officials should do their duty of supervision, and do not act rashly, so as not to cause the officials to be afraid of the head and tail, and dare not do things in a real way."

Wu Yue nodded, "What you said is reasonable, but there must still be necessary warnings to avoid a huge incident of embezzlement of state-owned assets." Once corrupt officials play each other, the consequences will be somewhat unbearable for the imperial court. ”

"After all, the current national strength of the Qing Dynasty is not enough to support their greed for ink." Wu Yue said in a deep voice.

Zhou Peigong nodded vigorously.

"The moderate use of criminal law governance can set an example for chickens and monkeys. But this strength needs to be carefully considered. Zhou Peigong said with a solemn face.

At this time, Nalan Mingzhu stood up, bowed to Wu Yue and clenched his fists, and said, "Master, inspecting hundreds of officials, you need to do your best to supervise, but the slave believes that Lord Zhou must have the right to temporarily arbitrary, such as opening the granary on behalf of the sky and calling the necessary places. ”

Wu Yue nodded, "You mean to say, local officials, someone is hiding the storage of the granary?" Wu Yue frowned slightly as he spoke.

Nalan Mingzhu bowed down and said, "If the slave is a local official, he will make this decision, after all, the people of a place, if they want to live, need silver grain as a supply." Rely on the imperial court to allocate money and grain. This"

Nalan Mingzhu said, shaking his head.

Wu Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Then how should the inspection officials deal with the officials who conceal the report?" Ask about sin? ”

Nalan Mingzhu responded, "This requires the inspection officials to investigate well, if it is for the people of the world, the inspection officials do not need to be held accountable, they only need to leave the food that can maintain the local minimum living standard, bring the rest of the food back, and distribute it to the urgently needed land." ”

"Once it is discovered that an official has secretly hidden grain and is greedy for ink, he will be directly held accountable and handed over to the criminal department for questioning." Nalan Mingzhu said in a deep voice.

Wu Yue nodded.

"The local officials, although there are Manchu ministers, but most of them are Han ministers, and you sent Lord Zhou to save a lot of trouble. It also avoided the sharp contradictions between the Manchus and the Hans. Nalan Mingzhu continued in a deep voice.

Wu Yue nodded convincingly again, "The dispute between the Manchu and Han Dynasty in the imperial court is becoming more and more intense." Now I am anxious to repair the river, improve the lives of the people, and win the hearts of the people, I can't be distracted to correct such confusion, so I choose Zhou Peigong to go. First, it is because Pei Gong has excellent ability and can do this errand. The second is also to avoid the suspicion of the Manchu and Han people. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Peigong slowly bowed down, took Wu Yue's words, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, when it is an extraordinary time, extraordinary things must be done, and Wei Chen, as this inspection envoy, will definitely not show mercy to the ministers who violate the precepts, whether it is a Manchu minister or a Khan general." For the handling of Manchu ministers, Weichen will also deliberately avoid it and hand it over to the imperial court. ”

"Strive not to exacerbate the contradictions between the Manchus and the Hans." Zhou Peigong said in a deep voice.

Wu Yue smiled and nodded. "It's best if you think like that. However, you can't force everything, if you can't be at the moment, you need to be arbitrary, you can also rest assured to do it, if something happens, I will take it with all my might. ”

Wu Yue said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Zhou Peigong knelt on the ground and kowtowed in response.

Wu Yue helped him up with both hands, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I have another errand for you, that is, when you take up the post of inspector and visit the whole country, you must carefully check the topography of various places. On the day of my return, I want you to gather together to govern and draw a map of the Qing Dynasty's territory for me! ”

Zhou Peigong listened to the words and nodded solemnly.

"Wechen obeys."

Chen Tingjing stepped forward slowly, bowed to Wu Yue, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, there is one thing that needs to be paid more attention to by Lord Zhou when he travels, and that is near the three feudal territories. The customs, the landforms, the specific distribution of mountains and rivers, what tactics are suitable for what places, and so on. ”

"You have to be aware of it. Just in case of a future big war only. ”

Wu Yue frowned and nodded heavily.

What Lord Chen said is extremely true. The three feudatories will inevitably become a major problem for the Qing Dynasty, so the necessary precautions must be deployed, and the imperial court must plan in advance. Wu Yue said in a deep voice.

Zhou Peigong nodded.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Peigong frowned and bowed down to Wu Yue again.

"Your Majesty, since the emperor has this idea, then regarding the analysis map of the surrounding territories and geomorphology of the three feudatories, Weichen believes that if there are generals who will fight against the three feudatories in the future, it will have twice the result with half the effort."

"In the future, this person can also be confident in the war with the three feudatories. It can better plan the deployment of troops. ”

Wu Yue nodded. looked sideways at Chen Tingjing.

"Tingjing, Pei Gong is reasonable, you say, who is the right person to send?" Wu Yue asked.

Chen Tingjing immediately frowned, pondered for a few minutes, and then slowly bowed to Wu Yue and said, "Your Majesty, there is no shortage of military generals in the imperial court. However, in the battle of the three feudatories, Weichen believed that Hanchen's participation was needed. ”

Wu Yue was puzzled, "General Khan is also a courtier of the Qing Dynasty, and he will naturally participate in the battle in the three feudatories in the future." Why do you want to say it? ”

Chen Tingjing looked cautious, and then said, "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation in the imperial court, in the future war against the three feudatories, the person who holds the military power must be a Manchu official. ”

"However, after all, the imperial court has just started the major project of winning the hearts of the people, and has invested a lot of manpower and financial resources for this.
