"Imperial Envoy Wang, you see that everyone is busy preparing for the Liao Kou. It's not good that you're alone with nothing to do all day. A cadaveric vegetarian meal is not right. You have this realization, too. ”

"You say I'm not doing business. Then I'll get down to business. “

"So be it. Everyone is busy. As long as you are idle and have nothing to do, please be responsible for carrying food to the side plug, and also contribute to the preparation of the war. ”

Revenge came.

Wang Kaidao went to the side plug with grain, can there still be a way to live?

Zhao Gonglian is really ruthless when he moves, and he wants to play the king of death to open the way and set up a lesson for his return.

When Wang Kaidao heard this, he immediately returned to his soul.

It turns out that Zhao Gonglian doesn't want to be an official, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

His confidence and momentum stood up again, and he flicked the sleeves of his robe with disdain for Zhao Gonglian's words, and said in a high-spirited voice: "This official is a counselor, and he is only responsible for picketing hundreds of officials to inspect Qingzhou. Charge the grain? That's not the officer's job. You also don't have the right to dictate what I don't do. “

In order to emphasize his special identity and strengthen his momentum, he snorted loudly and said deliberately: "Only the Supreme Majesty and the boss of the Imperial Authority have the right to dominate this official. ”

Under the nervous attention of all the civil and military forces, Zhao Gonglian still did not have a trace of annoyance or majesty, and still chuckled casually: "Oh? ”

"Then you should patrol the border plug at this time, and by the way, take the grain, kill two birds with one stone?"

"The official said, don't do my business with food."

"How to complete the duty inspection, the official has his own measure, and there is no need for the magistrate to worry. Hum! ”

Zhao Gonglian sighed again, long.

He walked to the door of the hall and asked the soldiers on duty at the yamen and the officials who were busy passing by: "You are free to talk about it, is it a corpse vegetarian meal if the official does not do anything?" “

"All speak the truth boldly and casually. You all know my temper. I promise that I won't punish anyone for my words, and I won't give anyone small shoes to wear later. “

"I have an unparalleled reputation. Just be bold and say so. “

A bold soldier dared to speak first, and said with a smile: "I, I will say a word." I don't understand what a corpse vegetarian meal is. I only know that as long as the handsome man sits here, we will be at ease. “

"Are you saying that? Special mother, I don't even know the number. “

"Ben Shuai always wants you to read some books and know a little bit of braille, don't be blind, and specially asked Mr. to teach you. Looks like you calf just won't listen. “

Zhao Gonglian scolded with a smile.

The soldier scratched his head in embarrassment and muttered, "Dashuai, I'm not." I'm stupid, I can't learn. The other soldiers and officials burst into laughter.

With an atmosphere, there are more people who dare to speak.

In the midst of all his mouths, a little official looked at Wang Kaidao, his eyes were disdainful, and he mustered up the courage to say loudly: "What kind of corpse vegetarian meal?" The handsome is here, and Cheongju is here. It's useless for someone to eat and not work here. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Gonglian smiled and turned around and stared at Wang Kaidao: "Imperial Envoy Wang, your name is open, and your name is so good." Now do you agree to open the road to take the grain? ”

Wang Kaidao didn't wake up his mind, his fierce eyes stared at the official, and then he turned to look at Zhao Gonglian, and snorted arrogantly: "It's not where the duty is." We will not be accompanied. ”

Zhao Gonglian still chuckled casually, nodded and said, "That is the refusal to contribute to the country?" ”

This time, without waiting for Wang Kaidao to react, he then shouted softly: "Come on." Take the spine of this rod twenty. ”

Wang Kaidao was taken aback, then his eyes widened, and Zhao Gonglian shouted angrily: "You dare? ”

The soldiers don't care whether the king opens the road and the envoy or not, they only believe in their commander, only listen to the commander, and under the commander's order, there is nothing to dare or not.

Suddenly four soldiers rushed up.

Two of them dragged Wang Kaidao out and forced them to kneel, and the other two used the barrel of a gun as a torture rod, and took turns beating left and right.

Bang bang. Boom........

beat Wang Kaidao and only cared about screaming.

Meng Dingguo, the deputy general of Benzhou, could not tolerate Zhao Gonglian's sabotage of the court's treatment of officials and colleagues, and wanted to stop him, but he felt that his weight was not enough, so he looked at Gao Jiguang, the commander of the general judgment and the commander of the soldiers and horses. The expressions of the two obviously wanted to stop them, but they opened their mouths and closed them again, and they didn't do anything in the end.

The other civil and military officers who were responsible for containing and monitoring Zhao Gonglian saw that their colleagues were wantonly beaten, and they were shocked and even angry and wanted to stop them, but in the end, no one really stood up.

In other words, this Wang Kaidao relied on his status as a scholar to be an official, conceited, talented, arrogant, and unbearable, and his popularity among his peers was not very good, and supervising Qingzhou was also a threat to his colleagues who served at the border gates. Usually deal with hypocrisy, hello and me, and no one is really willing to stand up for it at critical moments.

Smoke it all in one go.

Zhao Gonglian asked casually with a smile: "Imperial Envoy Wang, are you willing to escort military rations for war preparedness by the way when you inspect the border fortress?" ”

Wang Kaidao was also stiff, a bit of a donkey that would not fall, staring at the blood-red eyes and not begging for mercy or bowing his head, he just shouted wildly: "Zhao Gonglian, you dare to overstep your authority and punish the official without authorization, you are so bold." This official wants to participate in your dereliction of duty and pervert the law, and he wants to participate in your ...... ruthlessly."

Zhao Gonglian smiled contemptuously and scolded casually: "Just a shameless person like you, who only thinks about getting promoted and getting rich, kneeling and licking the traitor's feet in the DPRK, is also worthy of talking about the discipline duties of the country?" ”

"This is the border gate. It is everyone's responsibility to protect the family and defend the country. When things are urgent, even the official has to fight in armor. Do you dare to say that it is not your duty to escort military rations? Now the national crisis is at hand, the crisis is everywhere, and the country is in danger. Everyone must work hard to serve the country and share worries, and must endure hardships and do more practical things to move the hearts of the army and win the hearts of the people, so that there is hope for stabilizing the country and reorganizing the country. Do you dare to say that you are only responsible for playing tricks and making trouble? ”

When he said this, the civil and military bureaucrats who were very indignant about Zhao Gonglian's audacity and arrogance closed their mouths speechlessly for a while.

"The lesson of twenty rods does not seem sufficient. Hit again. ”

Hearing this, the four soldiers rushed up excitedly, and violently held down Wang Kaidao, who was like a weak chicken, and hit again.

In fact, I deliberately left my hand for a light fight last time, so this time you're welcome.

If you dare to be unrepentant and openly provoke our commanders, you have to teach you a hard lesson, a dog thief who only eats people's food but does not do anything.

In the blink of an eye, it was twenty rods.

This time, his clothes were torn and bloody, and Wang Kaidao rolled his eyes several times and almost fainted in pain.

Zhao Gonglian asked casually with a smile: "Let's talk about it, are you willing to escort the military rations by the way?" ”

Wang Kaidao wanted to pretend to have backbone and be tough, but in extreme pain and resentment, he saw that Zhao Gonglian was obviously looking forward to him a little backbone, and understood that if he dared to resist and disobey, and tried in vain to break the authority of the commander, then he would definitely fight again, if he couldn't fight him today, and Zhao Gonglian would come back tomorrow when he was interested.

In Cangbei, in Gaoyangguan Road, perhaps in the entire imperial court today, no one can stop Zhao Gonglian from cleaning him up.

This guy was suddenly scared, honest, and seeing that Zhao Gonglian was about to wave his hand and order the beating again, he was excited, and knelt on the ground with weak legs in awe and confessed: "Wait." Yes, it's the lower officials who don't know the general situation, and it's wrong. Please, please give the marshal a chance to repent, and the next official can do something serious for the national disaster. ”

The guy was talking and crying, tears were dripping, and I don't know if it was repentance, shame, or back pain.

After cleaning up this villain's soft thorn, Zhao Gonglian looked around at the civil and military forces, and said lightly: "I guess you have also figured out a truth." “

"I'm sitting here and that's what it does."

Zhong Wenwu only had the heart to ponder this at this time, and after being stunned, he tasted it again, tsk, it's really like this.

Zhao Gonglian had already taken care of things before leaving Cheongju, but all government and military affairs were still running normally, and there were no major problems at all, but as soon as he left, Cheongju, which had not changed any bureaucratic system, was immediately in chaos. The morale of the army is turbulent, and the soldiers don't listen to the greetings, so let's not mention this first. Let's just say that the civil and military officials themselves have problems.

The military generals showed their arrogant and barbaric nature, and the civilian officials looked down on them, and they looked down on the civilian officials even more, forming gangs, not abiding by the law, and often picking quarrels and making trouble.

The conceited and highly qualified civil servants are equally dishonest.

Quickly divided into gangs, between factions and factions, between factions, between factions, if you don't obey me, I still don't obey you.

At the beginning, he was keen to say impassioned words and empty words, chanting the wind and singing the moon, drinking wine and feasting, and wandering the wreckage, only because the residents of Qingzhou and the maids and maids at home took the opportunity to run away, there was no fresh beauty to be greedy, there was no casino to indulge in a little kind of rot, forming a party for personal gain, fighting for power and profit, playing horizontal cannons, stumbling down, dragging his feet, playing infighting, for a while it was not lively, and the general judgment of presiding over government affairs quickly changed from the previous respect and honesty to Yang Feng Yin violation, hippie smiling face, nonsense, unreasonable stirring up three points, In the past, they did not dare to be corrupt and bend the law, and did not dare to delay the slightest delay in official affairs, and the system of smooth and honest and efficient operation was blocked or even collapsed in the blink of an eye.

But Zhao Gonglian came back again, he didn't do anything, he didn't even participate in the welcome banquet, he didn't want to receive and visit, he didn't ask anything, he didn't punish anyone, he didn't say a few words, he just lived in the back house of the yamen like an idle man, but Qingzhou, which was in chaos, whether it was government affairs or military affairs, was so naturally smooth and smooth. The corrupt hand not only retracted, but also quietly returned the benefits that had fallen into his pocket. The factions are gone. The generals were also docile. The general judgment and the military orders of Gao Jiguang under the control of soldiers and horses are good again, no one dares to disobey, no one even dares to delay a little, there are no thorns, no scoundrels, and no bad ones, they have all become babies.

If the officials are like this, the officials of the various yamen will be more honest, and they no longer dare to play the tricky and tricky traditional vices that the petty officials of this era must have, and they are slippery and diligent.

Zhao Gonglian did not act, did not give an instruction, did not give a serious order, but the soldiers at the border pass still consciously and diligently trained cavalry and foot warfare to engage in various training.

Chaos, lifeless, dangerous, infighting, and tense and dangerous Cheongju is full of light-hearted laughter and energetic harmony, and it is as sunny as ever.

No one seemed to care about the threat of the border gates, and no one was afraid that the meager military force would not be able to withstand the invasion of the powerful Liao Kou in the near future.

Zhao Gonglian didn't have any measures to increase the number of troops, and he didn't even have the intention of responding urgently, but none of the soldiers were worried about this and were anxious and discussed.

Not only Cheongju, but also other three military states in Cangbei with chief officials in charge of the situation before and after the changes are also roughly similar to Cheongju.

No one in charge of the three military states was busy sending his subordinates or writing letters to anxiously ask Zhao Gonglian how to replenish his troops and how to deal with Liao Kou after the autumn, and no one came to congratulate Zhao Gonglian on his return and return to power, but it seems that as long as Zhao Gonglian sits in Qingzhou, everything is not a problem, and if Hou Ye doesn't say anything, they don't need to be anxious about anything.

I don't know that after the so-called Wang Kaidao was rectified, the bureaucrats saw that this guy did not die on the way to escort the military rations, although he was like black charcoal, endured the wind and rain and fatigue, and was very haggard and aggrieved, but he was still alive and busy constantly transporting food to all sides, and all the civil and military officers calmed down and turned to busy with serious things.

Zhao Gonglian continued to be leisurely.

Younger brother Zhao Yue once said: When the political boss is lazy, it is necessary to establish a management system that is as flat as possible, as smooth and efficient as possible, and all in control, otherwise not to mention delays, only worry about the fire and fatigue and boil to death, how can you have time to enjoy life? How can you take time out to spend time with your wife, children, and relatives, such as enjoying the beauty of the world together? If you want to live a long life, how is it possible?

Living like that, even if you are supreme and full of words, you can be trapped in a high wall all day long like a prison, what is the meaning of life and life?

The meaning of life is wide-ranging, but it is not only power and great deeds.

In a short life, you can enjoy all the tastes and pleasures of the world, enjoy freedom, and enjoy the relaxation of ordinary people, then it is not in vain.

Zhao Lao Er said: "I only have one brother who can travel the world together." ”

Zhao Lao Er very much hopes that his eldest brother will have the physical strength and spirit to go hunting with him after retirement, but he doesn't want to see a half-dead bad old man.

Zhao Gonglian wanted to laugh every time he remembered the disgusted look his brother showed when he said that, but more of it touched his heartstrings and remembered it in his heart.

Since he took power in Cangzhou, he has paid great attention to the construction of a convenient and lazy management system, and in the Song system, he has created as much as possible a temporary management and operation system with him as the core, with the civil and military deputies as the practical chief officials, and the people-oriented management and operation system.

In this process, Zhao Gonglian became more and more profoundly aware of how advanced, efficient, and clever the imperial political framework established by his younger brother was, and how it had a great future of self-regulation and rational evolution with the times, and that under such an implicit democratic political system, there would be no major problems in the contradictions between the relations of production and the productive forces produced by the progress of the times, and the imperial system would not gradually degenerate into a decadent and outdated system that hindered the development of the productive forces and must be overthrown. Hundreds of thousands of years later, the Cangzhao family will be abolished from the throne and no longer have honor, but at least it will not become the object of people's hatred and defeat.

During this period, he also exercised the ability and experience of remote control supervision and management of the whole country.

He was convinced that under the political framework of separation of military and government, power and popular supervision constructed by his younger brother, the multi-ethnic and racial groups under mixed rule eventually turned into a nation with only one belief and one main language-the Chinese nation, eliminating the contradictions between multi-ethnic and multi-ethnic that must exist, and with timely radio communication, and then with roads and railways connecting the whole country, with these two magic weapons to connect and control the whole country, coupled with a strong and loyal army, the future empire will have an astonishingly vast territory and an astonishingly complex geography. But it will not be easy to get out of touch and out of control, and this is also a rebellion and wants to split and independence, and the emperor of the mountain is far from daring to bully Hu Wei and not listen to the restrictions and greetings of the central government. The establishment of science and technology has brought rapid improvement in the living standards of people all over the world, new wealth and new enjoyment emerge in an endless stream, the horizons are opened, the mind is open-minded and progressive, full of hope, and the prospects are bright, everyone is proud of being a citizen of the empire, and will spontaneously love and maintain the imperial family that guarantees their own good life, which can naturally guarantee the long-term harmony, unity and stability of the empire from the fundamental interests.

Zhao Gonglian said to the Qingzhou officials: "I am the role." "There is another sentence in my heart: there is a tiger hidden behind me. The younger brother is the role. None of you are blessed.

He is full of confidence, everything is in control, and he is naturally calm and calm.
