A eunuch trotted in and saluted Li Chengqian: "Your Majesty! Wu Wang recital. ”

"Submit it quickly, I hope King Wu can bring me good news." Li Chengqian said.

Wang Quan hurriedly walked down the stairs and received the report from Qingxi from the eunuch: "Stand down!" ”

"No!" The eunuch saluted and retreated, and Wang Quan turned around and returned to Li Chengqian's side and handed the report to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian hurriedly took it open and checked it, and after reading it, he showed a smile of relief.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! It seems that His Royal Highness King Wu's trip to Qingxi must be a successful completion of the task, and I am afraid that he will be able to return to Chang'an in a few days. When Di Renjie saw Li Chengqian who was smiling, he knew that Li Ke must be good news.

"Di Qing, you guessed right! Li Ke's report to me explained in detail the situation in Qingxi this time. ”

"It's just that I never expected that the matter would be more serious than I thought, all the officials in Qingxi County were involved, and even the eunuchs, wealthy merchants and other people with heads and faces in Qingxi were a group of moths that sucked human blood." Li Chengqian said.

If it weren't for the report that Li Ke sent back, he didn't know that the matter would be so serious, even if he had already thought about the matter very seriously, it was beyond his imagination.

The more Li Chengqian thought about it, the more angry he became, these people stayed in Qingxi for a day, and the people wanted to live desolate under their oppression.

In this century-old flood, these guys not only did not report to the imperial court, but also intensified, making the people who were already living in dire straits even worse.

The people have no life, so they naturally have to find another way out, and it has become their only way out.

At this time, they no longer care that rebellion is a capital crime, and in order to survive, they can only fight, anyway, there is a dead end left and right, why not fight.

"Qingxi Mountain is high and deep, the rivers are crisscrossed, and the products are very rich, because of this, the imperial court has collected a lot of taxes here, and the burden on the local people is already very heavy."

"As a previous official in Qingxi, you can get a lot of oil and water casually, but this time Qingxi encountered a flood that is rare in a century, and if the local officials reported it, they would have no oil and water to fish."

"This is related to their vital interests, and they will naturally not report truthfully to the imperial court, but still collect a large amount of taxes." Di Renjie said.

For the sake of their own vital interests, these people dare to do whatever danger they take, and even do not hesitate to do things that are unconscionable.

"This group of souls is really damned, now Li Ke will kill the big and small officials in Qingxi County, and exile them, the imperial court must select a group of honest officials to go to the post as soon as possible."

"Although Qingxi now has Li Ke in charge, this is not a long-term solution after all, and Li Ke can't stay in Qingxi all the time." Li Chengqian said.

The officials of Qingxi County were all cleaned up, and the entire Qingxi could not operate normally by Li Ke alone, and it was okay in a short time, but after a long time, I was afraid that something would go wrong.

"Where does Your Majesty plan to choose from?" Di Renjie said.

"Aren't there many alternate officials in the imperial court! I'll be chosen from among them!" Li Chengqian said.

"That's okay, how does Your Majesty know how many of these alternate officials have real talent and how many have no real talent." Di Renjie said.

"Then according to Di Qing's opinion, what do you think should be done about this?" Li Chengqian asked, he felt that Di Renjie had a point.

"Isn't this year's imperial examination about to begin? Why doesn't Your Majesty take this opportunity to let these alternate officials take the examination again, and His Majesty will personally inviter the examination and select qualified officials, who can be assigned to other prefectures and counties in addition to serving as officials in Qingxi County. Di Renjie said.

The assessment of these alternate officials is conducive to the selection of qualified officials by the imperial court and the elimination of unqualified officials.

It can prevent some people from indiscriminately filling up their numbers and improve the quality and quality of officials.

"Di Qing is right, just do what you say, just at the time of this imperial examination, these officials will be assessed, and I will personally take the exam." Li Chengqian said.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Di Renjie said.

A eunuch ran in from outside the palace and saluted Li Chengqian: "Your Majesty! Liang Jianfang, the head of the march of Gongyue Road, rushed the good news of 800 miles. ”

Wang Quan walked down the stairs with ease, took the good news from the eunuch's hand, waved his hand to let the eunuch retreat, turned back to Li Chengqian, and handed Liang Jianfang's good news to Li Chengqian.

"Haha!" Li Chengqian took the good news, unwrapped the seal, poured out the good news and opened it, and immediately laughed after browsing it.

"If the minister's guess is correct, General Liang Jianfang also sent good news to His Majesty, presumably Ashina Helu has been caught." Di Renjie guessed.

"Not bad! Liang Jianfang not only defeated Ashina Helu and made him a lost dog, but finally captured Ashina Helu in Sulu City, Shiguo. Li Chengqian said with a smile.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and two good news came in a row, Li Chengqian was naturally refreshed, and the whole person felt very good, and everything was pleasing to the eye.

"Why did Ashina Helu run to Shiguo, and how was he captured?" Di Renjie asked.

"What does Di Qing want to say?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The minister is just curious, Ashina Helu is also a generation of heroes, even if he becomes a lost dog, he shouldn't run around like a headless fly." Di Renjie said.

"He is not a headless fly, he had planned to flee to the rat rake, passing through the stone country, the horse refused to enter, and the people were hungry, so Helu brought the treasure into the city and prepared to buy a horse."

"When the city lord Inedagan learned about it, he personally came out to greet him, and set up a banquet to entertain Ashina Helu and his party."

"Naturally, the hungry Ashina Helu and the others will not be polite to Inedagan, and under Inaidagan's hospitality, Ashina Helu and the others are drunk."

"When Ineda saw that Ashina Helu and the others were drunk, he tied them all up and handed them over to the king of Shiguo."

"At this time, Ashina Misu's son Ashina Yuanshuang and Xiao Siye's soldiers arrived, and the king was afraid of the strength of the Tang Dynasty, so he handed Ashina Helu over to them, and let Xiao Siye and Ashina Yuanshuang take Ashina Helu away." Li Chengqian told Di Renjie what had happened.

Fortunately, Xiao Siye and the others led the troops to chase after Shiguo, otherwise, it is difficult to say what kind of ending Ashina Helu would have.

Xiao Siye and the others led the soldiers and horses to Shiguo, which made the king of Shiguo, who had been hesitant, determined to hand over Ashina Helu, and the king was afraid that if he didn't hand over people, Shiguo was afraid that he would be wiped out by the Tang army.

"That's what happened! Your Majesty has to reward Liang Jianfang and other generals this time. Di Renjie said with a smile.
