Xiao Guo's early dynasty was once every six days, and the officials in the capital were all resting on five days, so there was no need to go to the court today, Situ Jingping arrived at the ministry early and began to deal with the affairs of the ministry.

Situ Jingping only took over the ministry yesterday, although he was only temporarily acting as a scholar, but many of the original officials were dismissed by Emperor Xiao, and the burden on him suddenly became heavier.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to worry too much about the things on the side of the Criminal Department, he has already explained everything that should be explained after he retired from the dynasty yesterday, and the rest are some problems that can be solved by people who have been cultivated in the past few years.

This allowed him to concentrate on the affairs of the officials.

On the desk of the Ministry of Officials are piled up with the memoranda submitted to Emperor Xiao for approval in the past month, these memoranda were all knocked down by Emperor Xiao yesterday and let the ministries handle their own affairs.

Looking at the mountains of twists and turns on the table, Situ Jingping could only sigh, although he knew that the officials were the most played by Emperor Xiao among the six departments, and he also thought that there would be a lot of twists and turns in the officials department that were beaten down by Emperor Xiao, and he felt that he had made enough preparations in his heart.

But he didn't expect that there would be so many folds to be knocked down, and this amount would be comparable to the total amount of twists and turns that his criminal department played in a year.

"The emperor has arrived~"

Changde's voice came from outside, and Situ Jingping, who was dealing with the folds in the house, put down the folds in his hand and walked quickly to the door.

"See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

When Emperor Xiao stepped into the courtyard of the Ministry of Officials, he heard the sound of Situ Jingping and the officials of the Ministry kneeling on the ground and saluting.

"Okay, Situ stays, and the others go down." Emperor Xiao came to the Ministry to find Situ Jingping, and the others did not need to be present.

When all the officials went down, Situ Jingping opened his mouth again to ask for guilt, "I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, and I couldn't welcome you from afar, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins!" ”

"What did Situ Aiqing say, when did I blame you, and besides, this time I also temporarily came to the ministry to see Aiqing."

"Thank Your Majesty for your love, I don't know what Your Majesty has to say?"

Situ Jingping and Xiao Huang grew up together, they are very familiar with Xiao Huang, there is nothing very special, Xiao Huang will not come to find him.

"It's boring, I really can't hide anything from Aiqing, let's go, go into the house and say."

When he arrived in the room, Xiao Huang sat in the position of Situ Jingping just now, Situ Jingping was standing opposite Xiao Huang, and on the table was the broken play that Situ Jingping was dealing with just now.

There is also a small pile of books that Situ Jingping has already dealt with, and a large number of books that have not been processed.

"It's hard work for Aiqing, such a lot of twists and turns shouldn't have been handed over to Aiqing to deal with." Xiao Huang looked at the hill-like folds on the table and said sympathetically.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your understanding, the ministers are not hard, and it is the duty of our courtiers to share the worries of Your Majesty."

"If I could have more courtiers like Situ Aiqing, I wouldn't need to be so busy all day."

Xiao Huang said and picked up a book that had been annotated by Situ Jingping, opened it to see the content of the annotations inside, and nodded frequently.

"Aiqing is worthy of being a descendant of Situ Gong, this kind of vision is very comparable." Putting down the folds, Emperor Xiao looked at Situ Jingping and praised him.

"Your Majesty's false praise, it is all Your Majesty's leadership, and the ministers dare not take credit alone."

"Aiqing doesn't need to be modest, this is all Aiqing's talent, I am very happy to have such a good talent as Aiqing......" Emperor Xiao couldn't stop putting a high hat on Situ Jingping.

"Your Majesty may wish to order directly if you have something, and the ministers will share your worries for Your Majesty."

Situ Jingping interrupted Emperor Xiao's words, he knew that Emperor Xiao had something to do for him, and things would definitely not be simple.

Since he was a child, Xiao Huang has always put on a high hat for him first, first let his vanity be greatly satisfied, and then throw him a difficult problem, this old routine, he has long been used to it.

"I know I can't hide it from you, haha." Xiao Huang didn't get angry because Situ Jingping interrupted his words, but talked to Situ Jingping with a smile, and took out a note and handed it to Situ Jingping, "You take a look first." ”

"These five poisonous beasts have revived, and I'm afraid there will be another change in the north." Situ Jingping closed the note and said to Emperor Xiao.

Emperor Xiao nodded, "Indeed, King Wuyan, who only ascended the throne last year, has begun to secretly recruit troops. ”

Situ Jingping hurriedly said, "Your Majesty should prepare as soon as possible, and it is the best policy to first settle down and prevent a war in the north." ”

"Aiqing thinks I should deal with the five poisonous beasts first?" Emperor Xiao looked at Situ Jingping with a curious expression.

Situ Jingping pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Wuyan has not yet thought far,

In recent years, the country has bumper harvests of grain, the treasury is full, and there are millions of soldiers, and I have not slackened in training troops on weekdays.

Then there is spying on intelligence, it is enough for the secret agents in Wuyan to use to find out the news, and then sending the secret agents over to add to the snake and not to mention it, it will startle the snake and cause a war in advance, which is not a wise move. ”

"Well, it makes sense, Wuyan is not afraid," Emperor Xiao also agreed with Situ Jingping's opinion, "Changde, immediately send an order to withdraw the newly sent spy to Wuyan." ”

"As for the Five Poisonous Beasts,"

Situ Jingping paused, and then said, "The Five Poisonous Beasts are not ordinary spearhead thieves, they have good attainments in all kinds of poisons, and they secretly have the help of Wuyan Kingdom.

More than ten years ago, the state governments and the garrisons in various places worked together to encircle and suppress, but they could not make them subjugate, and now more than ten years have passed, I am afraid that they will have more wings. ”

"I know this, and all these years, why didn't I want to bring them to justice and avenge the dead soldiers?" Thinking of the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who died due to encirclement and suppression more than ten years ago, Emperor Xiao hated the five poisonous beasts so much.

Situ Jingping then analyzed, "In the past ten years, the five poisonous beasts have disappeared, and now that they have reappeared in the rivers and lakes, it is inevitable that there will be casualties among the people. ”

More than 10 years ago, due to the lack of response from the government and garrisons in various localities, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were poisoned by the five poisonous beasts and died, and hundreds of people were ruined.

The people's grain was polluted, and the food was destroyed, and the local government could only open granaries and distribute grain to help the people in various states.

However, the government of some states did not deal with it effectively, and even colluded with the five poisonous beasts to harm the people, and the people became displaced people, which led to the situation that although it was not a year of drought and locust plague, many people still starved to death.

The displaced people have put pressure on other state cities, and food needs to be requisitioned from all over the country, and this time the consumption of food will increase.

In addition to food, the starving people who were not buried, and the plague would breed it, and once the plague spread, it would cause more people to lose their lives.

If it weren't for the five poisonous beasts that were now in turmoil in the country, the war with Wuyan State would not have been fought for five or six years.

"To solve the problem of the five poisonous beasts, we still need the help of Wulin, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to ...... the power of the minister," Situ Jingping lowered his head and did not continue.

Emperor Xiao also understood what Situ Jingping meant, this was indeed not a problem that could be solved by the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and even his son of heaven was difficult to settle.

"That's it, let's go to Dangzhou, Aiqing has a heavy burden, I have to investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and I have to deal with the matter of the five poisonous beasts, I will temporarily hand over the tiger talisman of the Fuhu Army to Aiqing, and the 20 Fuhu Army in Changzhou will be deployed by Aiqing, and the official yamen of the fourteen southern states will also be sent by you, as for the major rivers and lakes, Aiqing can act cheaply."

It is the first time in the history of Xiao State that a governor can have such great power, and if the courtiers hear this, they will inevitably have another war of words.

It was precisely because he didn't want to hear the chatter of a group of people who couldn't solve the problem in their ears that Xiao Huang came to the Ministry to find Situ Jingping.

"The ministers should do their best to live up to Your Majesty's trust!" Situ Jingping knelt on the ground, with such great power, he knew that Emperor Xiao had high hopes for his trip.

Emperor Xiao stood up and helped Situ Jingping up, "When you go to the state, you can't be in danger, the matter is so detailed that Aiqing can make her own decisions, and the holy decree will come to your house soon." ”

"Obey the order!"

Emperor Xiao walked to the door, and then turned back and instructed, "Put down the affairs of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Officials first, and when Aiqing returns to the capital, the position of Shangshu is still Aiqing's." ”

"Thank you, Lord Ronne! Greetings to Your Majesty! ”
