During dinner.

At the round table, Zhong Duoduo and Zhao Qingman sat together.

After getting along in the afternoon, the two seem to be familiar with each other.

At this time, she was still fighting for Zhao Qingman.

"What a fierce one, it's really ......" she wrinkled her nose and said in a small voice.

Xiao Yuan coughed and sandwiched their favorite dishes for the two of them, but did not speak.

Zhao Qingman bowed his head slightly, and seemed to be a little aggrieved.

The days went by like this, and Zhao Peng's affairs gradually calmed down, and this incident also sounded the alarm for some wealthy and powerful people, act as a person, don't be too arrogant.

On this day, Ye Cheng, the governor of the Wuwei General Mansion, also hurried to the palace and asked to see Xiao Yuan in the study.

He came entirely because of Xiao Yuan's letter of denunciation, to put it bluntly, it was a year-end work summary.

After entering the study, Ye Cheng hurriedly stepped forward and knelt on the ground to salute: "See the king." ”

"Get up." Xiao Yuan kept the brush in his hand, and was making the next royal edict, ordering the county guards all over the country to report back to the capital, because this year is about to pass.

"King Xie." After Ye Cheng got up, he bowed his hand, stood respectfully below, and said straight to the point: "Yu Wuwei Mansion summarizes this year's important affairs, and Weichen has come to report to the king. ”

"Say." Xiao Yuan's words are concise and to the point, and he is still working hard to write.

"Yes." Ye Cheng first responded, then organized the language, and said: "Under the rule of the king, Weichen has always obeyed the king's orders, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest, adjusted the original armaments and armaments, and also committed to the improvement of the quality of officers and soldiers, and in terms of public security in various places, there has been a significant improvement. ”

"According to the overall calculation, this year, the county-level armed guard government has suppressed bandits three times, and the county-level has suppressed bandits once, and there are no more bandits in various places, and the number of homicides is even less than half of that of previous years."

"This is a summary of the official documents compiled by Weichen, please take a look at the king."

Ye Cheng said, and also took out a few rolls of bamboo slips from the cuffs of his official uniform, respectfully put them on the table, and secretly looked at Xiao Yuan's face.

The latter had just finished disposing of what he was doing, and he put down his brush to look at him, and then asked casually, "What about corruption?" ”

"Huh? King Mingjian, there can be no corruption and bribery in the Wuwei Mansion. Ye Cheng hurriedly said.

Xiao Yuan picked up the bamboo slip and said: "You are a law enforcement department, in this regard, there must be no corruption problem, otherwise, you are trampling on the laws of the Qin State!" And you are the governor of the general government, you must personally check the checks, see everything, and not let our officers appear black sheep, once discovered, they will be severely punished! ”

"Yes, Weichen remember!" Ye Chengyi bowed down.

Xiao Yuan unfolded the bamboo slips he sent, and said while looking at them: "In addition, the New Year is coming, when the New Year is coming, every family is festive, the capital is lively, and there are crowds, it is inevitable that there will be small people, the more at this time, the more Wuwei Mansion can not relax." ”

"Weichen understands, please rest assured that the New Year is coming, and the Wuwei Mansion will also strengthen some manpower and send more officers and soldiers to patrol at night."

"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded, and changed his words again: "And what happened last time, don't blame this king for not reminding you, and next time, don't do it to you, General Wuwei!" ”

"Yes, yes, please rest assured." Ye Cheng's body is lower.

"Let's go down." Xiao Yuan stared at the bamboo slips and waved his hand without raising his head.

"Wechen retired." Ye Cheng bowed and saluted.

When he got out of the study, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but wipe the sweat on his forehead with the sleeve of his official uniform.

Seeing this, Xu Hu outside the hall said as if jokingly: "How about Lord Ye, have you been scolded?" ”

"Ugh." Ye Cheng shook his head, and said fearfully: "General, don't make fun of me, I was so excited just now, but I kept going up and down......"

After chatting with Xu Hu for a few more words, Ye Cheng returned to Wuwei Mansion.

As soon as he came back, he didn't say a word, and directly summoned all the officers under him for a more important discussion.

This discussion is mainly aimed at the issue of public security at the end of the year.

The detailed map of Qinzhou City has already been hung on the wall.

On both sides below, there were officers at all levels, Ye Cheng was directly above, and said straight to the point: "The New Year is approaching, and on the twentieth day of the lunar month, there will be a great dynasty in our country, that is to say, when the time comes, the county guards from all over the country will report on their work in the capital and participate in the court meeting." ”

"If there is a problem with public security in Qinzhou, these officials will join the Wuwei Mansion in the court, then we will really be finished this time."

"What's more, at that time, the festival is approaching, and the city will be very lively, and the flow of people will increase, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no assassins and the like who will take advantage of this plot to assassinate the county guards or other high-ranking officials in various places, and even the royal family."

"Therefore, we must strengthen the issue of manpower patrols, and the management of business travel and the foreign population."

"On this, Cao Zhen is in charge."

"Qi Ying, mainly responsible for the security of Nancheng District."

"Yu Cheng is in charge of Dongcheng District."

"Gao Yan is in charge of Xicheng District."

"Chen Zhong is in charge of the ...... of Beicheng District"

He arranges tasks one by one, and if it comes to investigating cases, he may not be a good hand, but as the supreme official, there is absolutely no problem in ruling the Wuwei Mansion.

The officers first clenched their fists to receive the order, and then Cao Zhen said: "My lord, our manpower is already a little insufficient, the capital is too big, and if we strengthen patrols, we will worry about ...... of humiliation."

Ye Cheng raised his hand: "You don't have to worry about this, this official will report to the king, ask for the assistance of the Duwei battalion, and transfer some people from the military department." ”

"Very good, my lord."

"Do you have any other concerns?" Ye Cheng said, and looked around again: "Well, there is no doubt about it, this matter must be done, let's go down and prepare, there is not much time!" ”

"No!" All the officers clasped their fists in unison.

At the same time, the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Liu Yuzhi was busy in the study, and the housekeeper came to report and said respectfully: "Prime minister, there is a general outside the mansion who asks to see him." ”

"What?" Liu Yuzhi's hand was stunned, and he didn't react at first, and then asked, "Which general is it?" ”

"He calls himself Xu Rong, the general of the infantry cavalry." The housekeeper returned truthfully.

Infantry Lieutenant General is Xu Rong's current official position, although it is not very high, but it has already broken away from the miscellaneous generals.

And he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, not for anything else, just because he heard the gossip recently, and the king was ready to confer the title of Eight Heroes.

This time the award is of far-reaching significance, and the eight generals are not only a matter of military rank, but also will lay the foundation in the army.

Xu Rong has some military exploits, and judging from his resume, there is hope for competition.

He wanted to fight for it, but he didn't have full confidence in his heart, but he knew that the prime minister's words in front of the king would play a big role, so he thought about coming and going through the doorway.

After listening to what the housekeeper said, Liu Yuzhi first groaned for a while, then put down the brush and got up and said, "Please invite him to the living room for tea." ”

"Yes." The steward took the order and departed.
