Coming out of Xingqing Palace, Yang Tianhua took a deep foot and a shallow foot, he tried to recall his report today, it seems that he talked too much, he talked about what should be said, and he talked about what he shouldn't talk about, and the checkpoint was revoked, how many people's vital interests are involved?

What worries him even more is that he can't remember a lot of the content, did he mention the bloated court? Did you criticize the first emperor? He really couldn't remember.

"Hey! It's useless to regret it now, just whatever! ”

Yang Tianhua felt remorse in his heart and returned to the official post in an ox cart.

In the afternoon, Guo Song had already examined all the officials, and then, together with the reports of the inspectors, they corresponded one by one, dividing the more than 240 officials into four categories.

The first category is dismissal and arrest, and if the crime is heinous, it will be escorted to the county where it is located and beheaded in public, and all its property will be confiscated.

The second category is also dismissal and arrest, but if all the stolen property can be returned, his life can be spared, but if he refuses to return the stolen goods, he will be punished heavily, publicly beheaded and confiscated property.

The third category is only unworthy of being an official with ability or virtue, and the reduction of the post is for the people, and it is no longer hired.

The fourth category has real talent and good official reputation, and these officials Guo Song planned to continue to hire, but according to the original plan, they were transferred to Hedong or Longyou.

At this time, he reported at the door: "The commander of the Inner Guard Army is here!" ”

"Let him in!"

Wang Yue arrived in Chang'an seven days ago with 3,000 internal guards, they are responsible for maintaining order in Chang'an from the shadows, many fierce secret struggles, the general people do not feel it, this is the duty of the internal guards, to eradicate the hostile forces of all sides undercover, or to control them.

After a while, Wang Yue walked into the official room, knelt down on one knee and said, "See Your Highness!" ”

"Excuse me!"

Wang Yue stood up, and Guo Song asked with a smile: "After seven days of coming, are you gradually familiar with Chang'an?" ”

"It's a little better, it's not like when I first came, there has been some progress in all aspects, at least we found the intelligence head of Nantang in Chang'an."

"That's interesting, who is this man?"

"Chang'an County Master Book

Guo Song thought about it for a while, and vaguely remembered this person, an official with a very serious attitude, and he had a good impression of him.

"How did you find this person?" Guo Song asked with interest.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the main reason is the Northern Expedition of the Southern Tang Army, he was deceived by Zhu Zhu, and the false news was spread, and later the person he sent to deliver the letter was caught by Zhu Jinqing's men and imprisoned in Lantian County Prison, Zhu Jinqing seemed to have forgotten him, and when he was sorting out Zhu Jinqing's information, he found that this person had not been dealt with, so he sent someone to escort him back to Chang'an, secretly interrogated, and he confessed."

"Then what are you going to do, catch it directly, or follow the old way and fish for a long time?"

"The lowly consideration is to control the people around him and grasp the information exchanges between him and Nantang."

"Report to me on progress in a timely manner!"

"Humble duty understands!"

Guo Song said to Wang Yue again: "I didn't come to you today for the sake of intelligence, but to deal with these county officials, before you sent 500 people to assist Cao Lingjun, now you need all your brothers to participate, to go to Guanzhong counties to check their stolen property, a total of seventy-five people's stolen property needs to be checked, in fact, you don't need to investigate, but you assist the inspector, Cao Lingjun will negotiate with you specifically on this matter, I just want to say hello to you first." ”

Wang Yue nodded, "The Inferior Rank will fully assist Cao Lingjun." ”

At this time, Cao Lingjun also hurried over, "I'm sorry! It's a step too late. He said apologetically as he entered.

"I'm asking the king to help you, and you've just in time."

Guo Song handed over the list he had divided to Cao Wannian, "This is the list of disposals I have preliminarily considered, you go to see it first, and then tell me if there is anything wrong, if there is nothing wrong, it will be implemented today, and Wang Tonghui will fully cooperate with you." ”

Cao Wannian took a closer look, this list was actually drafted according to their summary report, basically the same, Cao Wannian said: "It's about the same, the humble post will be reviewed again, in addition, the fourth type of people mentioned by His Royal Highness, that is, continued appointment, how should it be arranged?" ”

Guo Song thought for a while and said: "Arrange their food and lodging tonight, lift all surveillance, I will meet them early tomorrow morning, and then go back to continue to be officials, as for their transfer, they will be transferred to Guannei or Hedong after the expiration of their term." ”

"Humble duty understood."

Cao Wannian hesitated for a moment and said, "What about the state officials?" , His Royal Highness the Thorn Shi of the three states wrote about the transfer, the key two prefectures, one Du Wenxing, one Li Shuguang, how should the two prefectures be arranged? ”

"Du Wenxing continues to serve as Jing Zhaoyin, as for Li Shuguang......"

Guo Song thought for a while and said, "I'll talk to him later, I'll arrange it, and you don't care." ”

"Ignorance, understood!"

"Go! How to deal with the first three types of people and some of the stolen money, you should negotiate carefully. ”

The two saluted and retreated.

Guo Song immediately said to Wen Miao: "Send someone to inform Li Shuguang and invite him over!" ”

.........

Li Shuguang is the most difficult high-ranking official in Guo Song to deal with, he is a doctor from the third grade silver Qingguanglu, and he is a rare former high-ranking official of the imperial court under Zhu Zhu, but Zhu Zhu does not attach importance to him, he is also outspoken, he is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Zhu wanted to use him as a minister several times, but when he heard him often say such things, he lost confidence in him.

First of all, Guo Song didn't plan to let Li Shuguang continue to be in Fengxiang Mansion, it was best to transfer him away, but he had relatively high qualifications, where could he be transferred?

If he just said that he was loyal to Datang, it would be okay to say, but if he was really loyal to Li Shi, it would be a thorn in the coffin to keep him.

After thinking about it, Guo Song decided to meet him again.

Not long after, Li Shuguang hurried to Xingqing Palace, he was still a little nervous in the past two days, Guo Song was obviously cleaning up the officials in Guanzhong counties, so what about his fate?

Li Shuguang is still middle-aged, and he doesn't want to end his career so soon, so he has always wanted to talk to Guo Song to see Guo Song's attitude towards him.

In fact, the relationship between the two of them is not bad, when Zhu Jun launched the Jingyuan Mutiny, Guo Song led 10,000 cavalry into Guanzhong, which was stationed in Yongxian, and all the logistics grain and grass were provided by Li Shuguang.

When he came to the official room of King Jin, Wen Miao, who had joined the army in the office, was already waiting for him at the door.

"Li Envoy, please come with me, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is waiting for the envoy!"

"Thank you!"

Wen Miao led Li Shuguang towards Guo Song's official room.

Li Shuguang asked in a low voice, "What does His Royal Highness King Jin plan to do with me?" ”

"I don't know."

Wen Miao smiled and said, "But His Highness is willing to receive the envoy, so it's not much worse?" ”

The two came to Guo Song's official room, Wen Miao motioned to Li Shuguang to wait, he went first to report, and came out after a short time and said, "Li Yuanjun, please come in!" ”

Li Shuguang walked into Guo Song's official room, only to see Guo Song standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "See His Royal Highness the King of Jin!" ”

Guo Song turned around and smiled: "Li Yuanjun, please take a seat!" ”

Li Shuguang sat down uneasily, Guo Song walked back to his desk, flipped through the documents on the table, and asked with a smile: "What is your evaluation of Yang Tianhua?" ”

Li Shuguang thought that King Jin was going to ask him about his attitude towards the recent situation, he thought about it a lot, but he didn't expect to ask an irrelevant question, which really made his mind blank.

"This person is the master of Purun County, Li Yuanjun should know him, right?"

Li Shuguang came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly said: "I know him from a humble position, although this person is not from a professional class, but he is very pragmatic and insightful, I have read several reports of Purun County, which are very well written, and it can be seen that they are summarized from reality, at first I thought it was the handwriting of the county order, and I specially looked for the county order to talk about it, and soon found out that it was not right, this county order is simply a mediocre person, and later I learned that it was written by his subordinate Cao Silu, and it happened that Purun County lacked a master book, so I recommended him. ”

Guo Song nodded, "I also found that this person is more knowledgeable, I don't know what his character is?" ”

"His character is not bad, when he was appointed as Hu Cao Silu, the people in the county had a good evaluation of him, he behaved according to the rules, and never made things difficult for others."

Guo Song knows how rare it is for a scribe to 'never make things difficult'.

Guo Song smiled, put Yang Tianhua's matter aside, he groaned, looked at Li Shuguang and said slowly: "Li Yuanjun thinks I should invite the Son of Heaven back to Chang'an?" ”

Guo Song asked very directly, the time to test Li Shuguang came, Guo Song thought about it for a long time, instead of spending time and energy observing Li Shuguang, it was better to ask him directly and frankly.
