Chapter Ninety-Three: The Grand Governor of Lingnan

"The officials are scattered outside and ride to serve Li Gongyan, and meet the Marquis of Chang'an!" In the lobby of the Assassin's Mansion, a man in his thirties looked at Zhao Chen coming in from outside, and the person who was originally talking to Ma Zhou hurriedly stood up and bowed to Zhao Chen.

"Gong Li doesn't have to be polite!" Zhao Chen stretched out his hands, picked up the self-proclaimed Li Gongyan, and said with a smile: "Ben Hou has been out for a few days, but Li Gongyan has been waiting for a long time!" ”

"Chang'an Hou is polite, and the lower official only arrived in the morning!" Li Gongyan is in his thirties, and when he speaks, he always has a touch of modesty on his face, and when he heard Zhao Chen's polite words, he immediately bowed slightly and said modestly.

When these words fell, Li Gongyan then turned around, took a delicate box from the hands of a guard, held it in both hands, and respectfully handed it to Zhao Chen: "This is Your Majesty's will, and please accept it from the Marquis of Chang'an!" ”

The box is made of fine sandalwood, it is estimated that when it was in the palace, it had been sealed by Li Er, and when Zhao Chen took it from Li Gongyan, the box was still in its original state before it was sealed.

I found a small knife, along the gap in the box, and slowly scratched off the fire paint on it, and then, when I opened the box, I saw that inside the box, there was a roll of yellow silk lying quietly, and a few letters that were also burned with fire paint.

"Lingnan Grand Manager?" In front of Li Gongyan and Ma Zhou, when Huang Aya was opened, the first thing that caught his eye was Li Er's arrogant flying white body, but when Zhao Chen saw the content above, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment and said in surprise.

On Huang Aya, Li Erwen and Zou praised him a lot, for his ability to put the rebellion in Lingnan in such a short time. It quickly calmed down and expressed a high degree of praise and recognition.

And whereas. After a lot of praise, Li Er appointed him as the governor of Lingnan. The Lingnan affairs are fully arranged by Zhao Chen.

However, this chief manager is not a permanent fiefdom, but a remote leader!

To put it simply, Zhao Chen is the supreme commander of Lingnan, and Zhao Chen is responsible for all military and political affairs in Lingnan. This includes the following personnel transfers.

However, it is not that you have to stay in Lingnan for a long time, but that after temporarily dealing with Lingnan affairs, you have to return to Chang'an, and after that, you can control Lingnan remotely.

At the beginning, when Zhao Chen saw Li Er hand over all the Lingnan affairs to him alone. I was really surprised, but when I saw the three words of Ke Yao, I was secretly relieved.

Finally. Li Er has not gone crazy to that point, and he has entrusted all the local military and political powers. Otherwise, it's dangerous!

And so it goes. Although Lingnan affairs are handled by Zhao Chen. can add Yao Ling, the nature is completely different, probably this is the only result that Li Er considered after weighing the pros and cons!

Lingnan slang bureaucrats are mixed, the forces are complicated, and Zhao Chen's influence in Lingnan now, looking at the Tang Dynasty, there are really few people who are more suitable for the position of Lingnan chief than Zhao Chen.

"Xiaguan Ma Zhou, meet the chief manager!"

"Xiaguan Li Gongyan, meet the chief manager!"

“……”

At this time, there were more than ten people standing in the lobby, Ma Zhou, Cheng Chumo, Yu Ronghai and Li Gongyan, etc., Zhao Chen, who listened to Zhao Chen at this time, said the words of the chief manager, and immediately bowed to Zhao Chen one by one, and congratulated him.

"Don't be in a hurry!" Zhao Chen waved his hand at the few people around him who bowed to him to congratulate him, picked up a few letters in the box and said: "Here, it's all about your career, and when you finish reading it, it's not too late to congratulate you!" ”

As Zhao Chen said this, the expressions on the faces of the few people who were still congratulating Zhao Chen just now suddenly became nervous, it was a matter of personal career, and none of the people present could be calm.

The envelopes were all sealed with fire paint, and Zhao Chen picked up one of them first under the nervous gaze of several people, cut open the seal with a knife, took out the letter inside, and swept his gaze roughly.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Ma Zhou below, paused slightly, and said to Ma Zhou: "The original Sima Ma Zhou of Nanfuzhou, from now on, will be promoted to the assassin of Nanfuzhou, and will be in charge of the political affairs of Nanfuzhou!" ”

In the past few years, Ma Zhou has been staying for the post of Sima in Nanfuzhou, however, because Zhao Chen, the actual assassin history, is far away in Chang'an, although Ma Zhou is Sima, in fact, Ma Zhou has always been the right to assassinate history.

Ma Zhou's talent is naturally no problem, plus these two years of training, it is long enough to serve as the assassin of a state, so in Zhao Chen's telegram to Li Er this time, he recommended Ma Zhou to serve as the assassin of Nanfuzhou.

"Congratulations to Thorn History!" When Zhao Chen's words fell, everyone in the lobby couldn't help but be slightly stunned by the expressions on their faces, and then, with joy on their faces, bowed their hands to Ma Zhou and congratulated.

It's just that the congratulatory voices in the lobby continued, but Ma Zhou, as the protagonist, was at a loss, opened his mouth slightly, and looked at Zhao Chen directly, obviously, he hadn't recovered from the news.

In this era when there are many scholars and many powerful people, Ma Zhou's talent is no problem, but because he was born in the Han clan, he has always been depressed.

It wasn't until he met Zhao Chen in Lantian County, and under Zhao Chen's step-by-step recommendation, Ma Zhou was able to start his career.

In the past two years, during his tenure as Sima of Nanfuzhou, Ma Zhou devoted almost all his energy and did his best to govern Nanfuzhou, striving to do his best.

Being able to jump from a Confucian student to Sima directly, such an opportunity is so rare for Ma Zhou, who has hit a wall everywhere, so it is precisely because of the rare opportunity that Ma Zhou will pay more energy than others to do it.

It's just that what he never thought about was that his career was far more than just a Sima, and now, he was suddenly promoted to the position of state assassin.

From the earth to heaven, for Ma Zhou, how can he not be confused!

"Ma Zhou thank the Hou Ye!" When he finally came to his senses, Ma Zhou suddenly waved at Zhao Chen, with a grateful expression on his face, and said in a sincere tone.

"Ben Hou is just a recommendation!" Zhao Chenxu helped Ma Zhou up, looked at Ma Zhou and said with a smile: "What should be thanked should be your own efforts, if it weren't for your efforts, Benhou would not recommend you, and Your Majesty will naturally not agree!" ”

When the words fell, Zhao Chenfu patted Ma Zhou's shoulder again and said, "Do a good job of assassination, your future will not be just here in Nanfuzhou!" ”

After saying this, Zhao Chenfu returned to the table, picked up another letter in the box, opened it carefully, swept his eyes roughly, and when he raised his head, he looked at Cheng Chumo over there and said: "Cheng Chumo, the former captain of the Feihu Military Academy, will be promoted to the governor of Guangzhou Navy from now on, congratulations!" ”

"Congratulations!"

“……”

Cheng Chumo wanted to establish a wharf in Guangzhou, and to establish the first maritime army in the history of the Tang Dynasty, no one present except Ma Zhou knew about it.

Yu Ronghai, who was the governor of Guangzhou, changed his body when he heard Cheng Chumo and became the governor of Guangzhou, and the expression on his face couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and for a while, he didn't turn the corner at all.

However, when he heard Ma Zhou bowing down and silently congratulating Cheng Chu, he subconsciously followed Ma Zhou and congratulated Cheng Si silently.

"Rejoice and rejoice!" Cheng Chumo's dark face showed an excited look, and when he spoke, his mouth was about to crack to the root of his ear, and he smiled in his mouth, and said to everyone.

"The former Guangzhou Prefecture Xiazhou will be promoted to Zhongzhou from now on!" Zhao Chen waited until everyone had finished silently congratulating Cheng Chu, then took out another letter, opened it, looked at Yu Ronghai and said: "The position of the assassin of Guangzhou Mansion is still held by Yu Tingshi!" ”

Yu Ronghai, who had just become a little uneasy because of Cheng Chumo, suddenly became the governor of the navy, and heard Zhao Chen say that Guangzhou Mansion had already become excited after it was promoted from the original Xiazhou to Zhongzhou.

The states and counties of Datang are divided into three levels, upper, middle and lower, naturally, they serve as officials of three different levels of states and counties, and their ranks are also very different.

At this time, Guangzhou Prefecture was divided into Zhongzhou, and correspondingly, the rank of the assassin of Guangzhou Prefecture would also be promoted from the original Xiazhou to the rank of Zhongzhou.

The title remains the same, but the rank has risen, which is equivalent to that he Yu Ronghai, also this time, took the **** luck, inexplicably, and was actually promoted!

The congratulatory voices in the lobby continued, and Zhao Chen looked at Zhao Yuankai below in the congratulatory voices of everyone: "Zhao Yuankai, the former Sima of Guangzhou Mansion, will rush to Yuezhou from now on to serve as the assassin of Yuezhou!" ”

Zhao Yuankai, who was still following Yu Ronghai just now, smiling like a dog's tail flower, suddenly heard Zhao Chen's words, raised his head with a stunned expression, and showed a painful look on his face.

Yuezhou is the world of bureaucrats, saying that it is a state and county, but in fact there is not even a government office.

Before, it was the Ning clan who was in charge, but now that it has been pacified, if he is asked to be a Tang Dynasty man to do the assassination history, I am afraid it will be difficult to tame the local bureaucrats and natives.

"You've had a bad record before!" Seeing Zhao Yuankai's painful expression, Zhao Chen paused slightly, looked at Zhao Yuankai and said: "Therefore, this time I took on the history of the Yuezhou Assassin in the past, which can be regarded as atonement for my sins, and the three-year term of office, when the evaluation is good, I will have the opportunity to go out from Lingnan, which is not impossible!" ”

“… Thank you for the promotion of the chief manager! Zhao Yuankai felt unspeakably miserable in his heart, but since Zhao Chen had already opened his mouth, it was already a categorical and could not refuse, helplessly, Zhao Yuankai had to bow to Zhao Chen, and said in a respectful tone.

Since Zhao Yuankai, several appointments have been promulgated, but these appointments are all issued to the chiefs.

For example, the history of the assassination of the original Ning tribe continued to be held by Ning, who was completely submissive to the Tang Dynasty, and the same was true for other official positions, most of which were awarded to those chieftains who were completely submissive to the Tang Dynasty.

In addition to the appointment of these official positions, the map of Lingnan has also been re-planned, and all the territory that originally belonged to Feng Huo has been assigned to Nanfuzhou.

The same is true of Guangzhou, which has expanded the original state border to the first line of Gaozhou, more than doubled! (To be continued.) )
