Ma Tan returned to Chengdu in a restless state, and after bathing, he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion with official documents and samples to report on his work.

While waiting for the tea in the side hall, Li Shao, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, strode in, looked at Ma Tan with four eyes, and saw Li Shao's solemn expression, Ma Tan's heart was cold, and his face was surprised.

If the matter is exposed, it will not be a crime to death, and it is just a big deal to lose office.

Officially, it's nothing remarkable.

Ma Jian was not panicked, but he was surprised, but he felt sad for Dong Yun, his best friend was gone, he couldn't help but feel sad, and his eyes immediately moistened.

Li Shao saw him react, and his lips trembled: "Young Chang, Prime Minister...... The prime minister has something to ask you. ”

"Yes, I'll go to the main hall."

Ma Jian didn't bring any samples, took the official document and walked to the main hall on the side, when the sky was getting overcast, and lead-colored clouds were accumulating overhead.

In the main hall, some subordinate officials were packing up the official documents at hand, and left one after another with the documents.

Ma Yan stood abruptly in the hall, unable to raise his head, feeling that he had lost the trust of the prime minister.

Dong Yun should have been handed over to the prime minister at the beginning, let the prime minister deal with it, and come forward to mediate, maybe he could save his life.

As if he wanted to, Dong Yun was arrested in Nanzhong.

Zhuge Liang had a roll of bamboo slips in front of him, and after seeing Ma Jian come in and the others withdrew one after another, Zhuge Liang stretched out his left hand to pick up the bamboo slips, rolled them up, and raised them weakly and handed them out: "Look, this is Xiu Zhao's guilty pleadings." ”

"Hugh Zhao? How is it possible, who interrogated it? ”

Ma Tan opened the bamboo slip and didn't believe it, in such a big case, who of the local officials was so short-sighted that they would go to interrogate? forced Dong Yun to write a guilty plea.

Zhuge Liang didn't answer, and the feather fan in his right hand shook weakly.

According to the procedure, reason, and law, naturally no one will interrogate Dong Yun, but Dong Yun can't support his body after a long journey, and he is seriously ill?

Before he died, Dong Yun was also frank, learning from Fei Yi to take many charges on himself and exonerate others.

Ma Yan's tears hung on his face, he rolled up his sleeves and wiped them, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Zhuge Liang saw that there was thunder outside, and it began to rain, and the feather fan in his hand was thrown on the table at will, rubbing his temples in distress.

Dong Yunneng fled all the way to Jianning County...... There must be accomplices among them, and this kind of escape out of righteousness and friendship has become a common practice since the pre-Qin and Han dynasties.

This matter needs to be investigated, and Guan Yu must be given an explanation, and Li Yan and Liao Li's mouths can also be blocked.

Seeing that Ma Jian gradually controlled his emotions, Zhuge Liang said: "When the Jiangdu incident occurred, Hugh Zhao was outside the city. Li Zhengfang proposed to blockade the Quartet's Guanjin pivot in order to control access and prevent Hugh Zhao from escaping. Yun Changgong exonerated Xiu Zhao, believing that Xiu Zhao's crime was small and he would not escape, so he rejected Li Zhengfang's proposal. ”

As a result, Dong Yun still ran away, Dong Yun himself had connections in Yizhou, and contacted Ma Jian through the connections left by his father, and listened to Ma Yan's arrangement to go to Nanzhong to avoid trouble without seeing each other, waiting for the imperial court's amnesty.

On the Jiangdu side, if you can't catch Dong Yun, the core figure, for a day, it will be difficult to convict Dong Yun.

Fei Yi committed suicide and apologized for his sins, taking a lot of responsibility; Guan Yu did not rashly convict Dong Yun, but just arrested Dong Yun at sea, and wanted to catch and interrogate him.

Dong Yun is not a cat or a dog who can be convicted through the testimony of others, and Dong Yun's own confession and confession attitude are very important.

So now Dong Yun is a criminal official who abandoned his official position and fled, and there is still no explanation for what the specific crime is.

If there is a birth of a prince or something else, the emperor can routinely pardon the offender. Dong Yun's crime is not clear, and he can't go up or down, and he is a criminal who has escaped the limelight, and it is not difficult to mix a pardon.

But the physical burden brought by the long-term escape, as well as the psychological pressure such as Fei Yi's suicide, finally crushed Dong Yun.

Guan Yu has done his best, and there is also Li Yan and Liao Li's accountability, Zhuge Liang is impulsive when he thinks about it.

Li Yan is the Yin of Jiangdu, and the arrest of criminal officials is within his authority, and it is also within his authority to block the checkpoints, wharves, and ferries within Jiangdu; He applied to Guan Yu, but Guan Yu rejected it...... It's good that nothing happened, but now that something has happened, Li Yan will definitely use this to attack Guan Yu.

What about General Song Gong? What about the deacon? You've got to be reasonable, right?

There is also Liao Li, who resigned from the post of Shizhong and Beifu Protector in order to retreat, and as soon as the shackles of official positions were gone, he became the representative of public opinion of the people of Xiangzhou.

According to the system of three divisions of the Principality of Chen, Liao Li is like the speaker of the Xiangzhou Council Hall without an official seal.

Liao Liming, in Chen Gongguo's dictionary editing team, pointed out the country all day long, commented on current affairs, and in addition to not naming names, he attacked the ruling authority of Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang in various ways.

If the Xiangzhou problem is not resolved, the problems of the Hunan army, Jiaozhou, Guangzhou, and Wuchang will not be solved.

He Qi in the Wuchang region, old but not dead, holds a separatist army born from the Wu army, and is currently the only armed force around Jiangdu that is not controlled by Guan Yu.

On the contrary, He Qi has been used to fighting big battles and bad battles in his life, and he is not afraid of Guan Yu's 'prestige' at all.

He Qi's army was nailed there, and Li Yan and Liao Li were exceptionally bold; It was also because Heqi's army was always in a state of tension that the guards, middle army, and front army in Jiangdu could not relax and put into production...... The impact is far-reaching.

As far as the situation near Jiangdu is complicated, it is no longer something that Guan Yu can settle and clean up alone.

Now that Dong Yun died of illness in Jianning County, the Prime Minister's Mansion must give an explanation, block the mouths of Li Yan and Liao Li, and give Guan Yu a decent explanation.

In particular, Beifu fought for his life, and even won the decisive battle in Guanzhong before the autumn rain blockaded Nanshan, which made the situation even more complicated to the limit.

The water was too muddy, Dong Yun and Fei Yi couldn't help but end up and wanted to counteract Tian Xin.

This kind of thing did not convince Guan Yu to support, and it was half a failure in itself; Guan Yu's neutral attitude is to acquiesce to Dong Yun and Fei Yi, which is tantamount to encouraging Guan Ji to resist.

The matter broke out like this, Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Yan: "Young Chang, now the situation is critical, I intend to recruit Ji Chang to enter the court and worship Tai Changqing; Then Yang Weigong entered the court and worshiped as the secretary of the Shaofu. Regarding the transfer of officials in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, presumably Yun Changgong also responded. ”

The treasury of Dasi Nong can no longer be confused with the imperial treasury managed by Shao Fuqing, although it objectively increases financial efficiency, but it also leaves many hidden dangers.

The establishment of the Shaofu Secretary of the Government will be re-established, and the development of mountains, forests, lakes and mineral deposits will be ...... These are de jure the private property of the royal family, and if others want to mine them, they will either pay for a license privilege or they will be illegal.

Ma Tan came back to his senses when he heard this, this was to force Yang Yi to ask Beifu for money.

Legally speaking, mountain mining, hunting, gem gathering, ivory, orb, copper and iron mining, and even the fishing of marine fish, which has recently become popular in the South China Sea, all belong to the development of mountains, lakes and rivers, which are all within the scope of Shaofu's management.

Whether the Beifu develops Guanlong or develops Jiaoguang, it cannot bypass the hurdle of the Shaofu Bureau, and either give money for legal development, or do not give money for illegal mining.

Shaofu is an institution that makes money for the imperial family.

When the scale of the Shaofu Government Office was huge, it carried out its own development throughout the country, and the profits and losses were at its own risk; Now I don't have the ability to buy the license privilege of collecting and developing profits, and I want to exchange the power for a share of taxes...... No matter how you look at it, it is a good thing that is in accordance with reason and law.

The biggest problem of the imperial court was the increasing expansion of the Northern Palace, which included rapid economic development in addition to military achievements.

The rebuilding of the Shaofu Government Office will curb the economic development of Beifu and make a large amount of revenue for the imperial court.

With this money, if you can develop the economy of the areas directly under the imperial court, or invite you to buy the hearts of the army with rich rewards, the control and prestige of the imperial court will naturally increase day by day.

In these days, with money comes prestige.

Everyone knows the power of gold and silver swords.

Ma Jian wiped away his tears, and his voice was hoarse: "Prime Minister, what should I do?" ”

"Acting on my behalf to report on my work in the court, I will be transferred to the history of Xiangzhou within the year."

Zhuge Liang stared at Ma Jian and instructed: "The matter of the Shaofu Government Office and the transfer of Youchang to Xiangzhou, one of the two things is achieved, and it can benefit the imperial court." ”

The Imperial History, the Imperial History, the Imperial History, and the Imperial History of the Assassin (the Imperial History of the Assassination) all belong to the management of Xu Shu in the Imperial History, with the support of Xu Shu and the cooperation of Guan Yu, the current Xiangzhou Thorn Shi Ganshu will be replaced...... It's really not that hard.

At the end of the year, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, and Tian Xin will send people to the court to report on their work...... The military merit reward of Beifu will be delayed until this time at the latest.

At least, of the fourteen counties in Guanlong, the imperial court will take away at least five.

The establishment of the Shaofu Government Office is a layer of shackles against the Northern Government, which is enough to exchange for many advantages in negotiations.

After all, it is impossible for Tian Xin himself to report on his work in the DPRK and frighten this representative who entered the DPRK, as long as the agreement is announced, he naturally has no regrets...... Even if you want to regret it, you have to pay the price.
