Although Huang Songyuan has surrendered, his current identity as the lord of Shu has not been deprived by Xiao Yuan.

Conveying instructions in the name of the state capital, Xiao Yuan's intention is obvious, that is, he wants to know who these officials will regard as the 'Lord of Shu' in the future.

The officials must come, but after coming, it depends on whether they go to report to Huang Songyuan or Xiao Yuan.

Shangguan Wenruo suggested that Xiao Yuan should not kill the Lord of Shu first, but keep him, if the officials below still take him as the lord, then it will be okay!

Therefore, this step Xiao Yuan must take.

The next morning, a group of officials from Yizhou who had received the order hurriedly arrived.

Now the state government is going to convene a meeting, but there are two people on the master, one side is Huang Songyuan, the lord of Shu, and the other is Xiao Yuan, who to meet, this has become a problem.

Many officials hesitated, and some smart people already saw the doorway.

Some people went to Huang Songyuan, and some people went to Xiao Yuan.

The two are not in the same place, Xiao Yuan's side, in the hall, more than half of the Yizhou officials should come.

Everyone bowed down, Xiao Yuan also waved his hand slightly, signaling that everyone didn't have to be polite, and then looked at Xu Hu on the side of the guard, and glanced slightly.

"No!" The latter understood, immediately clenched his fists, and left without saying a word of nonsense.

The discussion here is nothing more than to talk about some governance issues in Sichuan and Shu, Xiao Yuan threw out several questions one after another, and they all got corresponding answers.

Time passed little by little, and in the end, he was still satisfied, so he said: "Be an official, be a good official, I have read all of your files, and the political achievements are not bad, if you can care about the affairs of the people, this official here, not only will not remove you, but will reuse you." ”

"On the contrary, if there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, officials who prey on the common people, this official will never let go."

"Shu needs you, and the officials also need you, and I hope everyone can work together to govern Sichuan and Shu."

His words were relatively mild, and when everyone heard this, they all calmed down one after another, and then said in unison: "We will obey the teachings of the Lord—"

"Alright, that's the end of today's discussion, you all do your part." Xiao Yuan stood up.

"I'll take my leave—" The crowd saluted.

After leaving the hall, people were just about to return to their official office, and when they were halfway through, they found that under the steps outside the hall, there were seven or eight officials kneeling, and behind them, there were Qin soldiers holding swords.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but stop and watch curiously, and there were many discussions.

At this time, Xiao Yuan also appeared here.

Those officials who were kneeling on the ground were all people who went to find Huang Songyuan, and now when they saw Xiao Yuan, they couldn't help but start begging loudly for mercy:

"Spare your life! Lord spare your life......"

"Lord, the lower officials are loyal, willing to be cattle and horses, please spare your life......"

The sound of crying filled the audience.

Xiao Yuan didn't say anything, and waved his hand directly.

With his movements, the sound of the sword unsheathed came and went, and the soldiers of the Qin army waved their knives down without saying a word.

The severed head fell to the ground, and the screams and begging for mercy stopped abruptly.

These people can all be said to be surrenderers, but after surrendering, they are still dominated by Huang Songyuan, can they not die!

Xiao Yuan is not a woman's kindness, and when he should be ruthless, he is definitely decisive.

His iron wrist, there is no doubt about it.

Seeing this terrible scene, at that moment, all the officials knelt down, and the timid ones were already sweating on their foreheads, and their bodies began to tremble slightly.

Thankfully, they weren't among those who were beheaded.

But even so, the fear of fear is also haunting everyone's heart.

Xiao Yuan didn't speak, and after glancing at the officials kneeling on the ground, he left directly.

As the lord of the people, he already has a faint royal power.

It wasn't until a long time after he left that the officials stood up tremblingly, and then they looked at each other one after another, wiping the cold sweat on their foreheads with the sleeves of their official uniforms.

Huang Songyuan was even more frightened, and his face turned pale.

Xiao Yuan's move to kill chickens and monkeys has obvious effects, and after this incident, the officials in Shuzhong all know that their master is no longer Huang Songyuan, but Xiao Yuan.

Huang Songyuan was even placed under house arrest in the place where he usually lived, but Xiao Yuan kept all his kabuki, and the latter began to live the life of daily singing and dancing again.

Another day, Xiao Yuan had Zhang Jingrui taken out of prison.

The latter is still in that official uniform, but his body is dirty and messy, after being escorted to Xiao Yuan, he refused to be polite, and sneered and said: "Kill quickly!" ”

His attitude was completely expected, Xiao Yuan was not angry, and after waving his hand slightly to let the guards retreat, he picked up a roll of bamboo slips on the table and threw it in front of Zhang Jingrui: "Take a look." ”

"What is this?" The latter glanced at the bamboo slip, and in curiosity, couldn't help but pick it up and unfold it.

After he finished reading it, he also said suspiciously: "Longyou flood problem? ”

"That's right." Xiao Yuan said: "These official documents were more than half a year ago, but such a big event is related to the livelihood of a county, but Huang Songyuan ignored them, only cared about drinking and having fun, singing and dancing every day, and didn't even look at it." ”

"This ......" Zhang Jingrui didn't know what to say with the bamboo slip.

Xiao Yuan glanced at him and said directly: "Go to Longyou and cure the flood." ”

"What!?" Zhang Jingrui didn't react a little, Lord Qin escorted himself over, didn't he want to kill himself?

"Need to repeat it again? Next summer, if Longyou is not good at controlling the water and still flooding, you will not be able to protect your head! Xiao Yuan said coldly.

Zhang Jingrui finally came back to his senses, and then sneered: "Why should I do things for you? ”

"Then it's up to you, this flood is related to the people's livelihood, whether you can cure it or not, give an answer quickly, this official doesn't have so much patience."

Hearing this, Zhang Jingrui hesitated, he is a good official, such a big matter is related to the livelihood of the people in Shudi, and he was specially asked to take care of this matter, can he watch it?

There is no doubt that after a period of entanglement, he immediately took Xiao Yuan's order.

"Don't be the county guard of Zitong, go and be your county guard of Longyou, get out!" Xiao Yuan smiled, and then waved his hand directly.

The days passed, and after more than ten days, Xiao Yuan first stabilized the official system, and then accepted Chen Tai's surrender, retaining the latter's military position, and at the same time roughly controlling the political situation in Yizhou.

At this time, he also planned to calm Lian Xiao.

Because if this Shu army has always existed, not only will he not be able to completely recover Shu, but it will also be a very big hidden danger for the governance of Sichuan and Shu.

At this time, there were still more than 80,000 troops in the various divisions of the Qin army, and after staying in Yizhou with 50,000, Xiao Yuan took the other 30,000 soldiers and began to rush to Ningyang.
