Winter goes to spring, and it is already the twilight of spring, in addition to the morning and evening, there is still some coolness, the spring is bright outdoors during the day, and the children playing outside are gradually increasing. At this moment, a stumbling little guy was running happily in the spacious back garden of the Daizhou Governor's Mansion, and when he found that the road in front of him was completely blocked by a tall and large figure, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the person in confusion, and suddenly grinned and shouted vaguely: "Grandpa, Grandpa"

Du Shiyi smiled and bent down, picked up the little guy and held it high above his head. For a while, the little Du Guangyuan's face was so excited that his face lit up, and he couldn't stop squeaking and laughing, until his father was still a little reluctant to stop when he put himself down on the ground, and he dragged the hem of Du Shiyi's wide robe vigorously, as if he was still begging his father to hug him. Seeing that his son was so clingy, Du Shiyi was angry and funny, but he knew that there was no one else in the back garden of the governor's mansion at the moment, and he was not afraid of being seen that he was doting on his son, so he had no choice but to squat down again and hold the person in his arms, and as a result, Wang Rongdeng, who came forward, was angry.

"Du Lang, you spoil him too much, how can everything be according to his wishes, although I don't agree with the gentleman hugging his grandson and not his son, but Guangyuan is now happy when he sees you, which shows the truth of a strict father and a loving mother, and when it comes to us, we will become a strict mother and a loving father."

"Isn't it like we only have one son?" Du Shiyi replied with a smile, and when he saw that his wife's face showed a hint of gloom, he said disapprovingly, "I said that I wanted to have another child for him to be his companion, but this kind of thing is not just right to say." Guangyuan is only more than two years old, if you have a body now, it is difficult to guarantee that you will neglect him. Look at his clingy appearance, I don't know how to make trouble at that time. ”

Although there was some regret in his heart that there had not been the slightest movement in the past two years, hearing Du Shiyi's understatement, Wang Rong couldn't help but feel sorry for a while. Reaching out to take the child from Du Shiyi's arms, seeing that Du Guangyuan, who was still happy just now, immediately showed a weak heart, she poked the little guy's smooth forehead angrily, and then put the person down. Sure enough, the son immediately took her hand obediently, and he didn't mean to pester his mother at all, but his eyes kept glancing at Du Shiyi.

Du Shiyi saw all this scene in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles, however, at this time, he was busy sneaking into the back garden, naturally not all to satisfy the little guy's desire to be close. After winking at Du Guangyuan, he said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow I will set off to patrol Shuozhou and other places, and I am afraid that the Datong army in Shuozhou will have to stay for a while longer, and I am afraid that it will take at least a month to come back." You should pay more attention to the affairs of the Governor's Mansion. Although I will be informed by a special envoy galloping horse, I have made two arrangements to prevent anyone from making waves in my absence. Hu Cao joined the army Pei Haiyun is about to be transferred, and I have promised him good words for him in the recommendation of the chief officer, so he naturally will not forget to report the necessary information to you regularly, and you will send it to me after you summarize it. As for other matters, Wen Zhengyi will also tell you. ”

"That Zhang Xing, you want to take away?" Faced with her husband's arrangement, Wang Rong asked thoughtfully

"That's right, I temporarily handed over the affairs of the state school to the senior brother to help manage it for a while. Qingchen went back to Chang'an to participate in the Wannian County Test and the Jingzhao Mansion Test, but the senior brother was just soft and hard for me, so I could only reluctantly manage it for a few days. However, I will make this tour to see if there are any talents, so that there is no one who can really be trusted in this generation of governors. ”

Speaking of this, Du Shiyi remembered the list that was crucial to him in addition to Yu Wenrong's posthumous manuscript. He is not an indiscriminate good person, he does his best for Yu Wenrong like this, and half of it is for himself, and as for the other half, he can't tell whether it is sympathy or pity. Chibi said at that time that Yu Wenrong handed over the manuscript and the list early, as if he knew that he couldn't escape death, but when he really couldn't support it anymore on the road, the once high-spirited and powerful man said something to Chibi that he didn't expect.

"Tell Du Junli, don't learn from me...... The center is not a good land, so it is better to seek a feudal territory...... The Holy Grace is unreliable......"

This zuihou sentence fell in the ears of others, then it confirmed the charge of Yu Wenrong's resentment, but Chibi used to be a part of the Cui family, and now he is his confidant Du Shiyi, and his loyalty to the Son of Heaven is very limited, plus because of Yu Wenrong's death from the rabbit and the fox is sad, naturally he will not say it to the third person.

Thinking of these words, Du Shiyi only felt that the long list seemed to appear in front of her again. Compared with those recommended by Yu Wenrong, this list is longer and more diverse, some are just county lieutenants of a small county, some are even just teaching assistants such as doctors of scripture, and even ordinary priests. In contrast, Yu Wenrong used to recruit and persuade agricultural judges, although he was known as a handsome man, there were no less than thirty or fifty people, but among them, at least eighty percent were from Liangjing and Gyeonggi Province.

Speaking of which, the Yuwen family and the Webster family were all from Gyeonggi, and it was the most common saying of the time to bring relatives and in-laws, and those who were born in Gyeonggi often got the favor of others. On the contrary, if it is an unknown person from a humble background who is promoted, the discussion and attacks of others can make it even more difficult for Yu Wenrong, who is already unstable. Even so, it is because there are too many people to carry it, and even often gather guests to drink and talk under the door, that Yuwenrong is so jealous, because in the eyes of others, Yuwenrong has gathered a large-scale group.

"Du Lang, Du Lang?"

Hearing the sound in her ears, Du Shiyi realized that she was distracted. He smiled apologetically at his wife, stepped forward and rubbed his son's little head, and then said softly, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about me." I am out now, how can I call and hug each other, and the Turkic Zuoxian Wang Que Secret Service has just died, and it is too late for the Viga Khan to reshuffle and distribute power, and he can't take care of the battle. As for the Khitan Ke Yu, he can't make any waves, and the general Wang who makes me feel like a thorn in my back is dead, and no one will be stupid enough to fight that kind of ghost idea anymore. ”

"Don't be careless." Although Wang Rong also felt that now should be the most comfortable time for Du Shiyi, she still stepped forward to tidy up Du Shiyi's head and collar with her own hands, and then said softly, "Open guns are easy to dodge, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, you must be careful at all times." My son and I are waiting at home for you to come back. ”

"Good"

When Daizhou Sima Situ Xiao was in office with the former governor Shi Ye Huiquan, he fell out because of trivial matters, and he always stood aside and couldn't get any real power, so he simply broke the jar and drank to live, even if Du Shiyi was replaced, he still went his own way. Therefore, when Du Shiyi summoned him a few days ago and bluntly stated that he would act as the acting governor of the prefecture during his tour of the other five states, he only felt that this was simply the biggest joke. However, Du Shiyi directly ordered the various curfews in the Daizhou Governor's Mansion not to let him go out to drink, and he directly threw all kinds of official affairs to him every day.

Really let himself, the Sima who should be the decoration, act as the affairs of the governor's office?

At this moment, seeing that Du Shiyi was surrounded by a group of guards and the elites selected by the Daizhou army, he left the Daizhou Governor's Mansion, and Situ Xiao, who led his subordinates to see him off in front of the door, only felt that his head was swollen, and he couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his temples. At this time, he only heard a voice from behind him: "Sima, I have a few important official matters on hand." ”

"I also have a document here requesting a change of household in two villages under the jurisdiction of Daizhou......

The gossip made Situ Xiao even more dizzy, and it was only at this time that he faintly regretted that he had drunk too much wine in the past few years, so that his head was not as good as usual.

Leaving Daizhou City, from the official road to the southwest to Lao County, and then south is Xinzhou. Although the area of Xinzhou is very small, the population is quite dense, and it does not have any garrison next to Taiyuan, so Du Shiyi only made a short inspection, and only stayed for a day before changing to Lanzhou, which made all the officials below the Xinzhou Assassin Shi breathe a sigh of relief.

On the official rank, the history is one level lower than the history of the assassination, but Du Shiyi is ordered to take the deputy envoy title of Hedong Jiedu, and sentence the governor of Daizhou to supervise the six states, and kill chickens and monkeys in Daizhou is terrifying, who is not worried about his inspection now is also sharpening knives?

This is the case with the history of the Xinzhou Thorn, and the same is true for the history of the Lanzhou Thorn, and when he found out that Du Shiyi was most concerned about the Lan Army, he became even more nervous. Zhang said that in the past, he was the governor of the province and the ambassador of the Heavenly Soldiers, and after entering the DPRK, he promoted the disarming of those redundant soldiers at the border pass and returned to the fields, and at the same time promoted the recruitment of soldiers. Almost all the military towns north of Taiyuan are recruited soldiers, and the generous military salaries, free rent, and other treatments have also made the quota of a soldier extremely valuable, and there are even those who buy and sell military quotas privately. Therefore, when the officials of the Lanzhou Assassin History Bureau, who had long heard that Du Shiyi had only stayed in Xinzhou for one day, heard that Du Shiyi had set off from Yifang County, Lanzhou Prefecture, and said that he planned to stay in Langu County, where the Lan army was located, they all secretly complained for a while.

"Is the envoy really planning to investigate the indiscriminate sale of military quotas this time?"

On the way, Zhang Xing, who was recruited by Du Shiyi as an inspector, finally couldn't help it and asked. Not only him, but also Duan Guangzhen, the brigade commander who had never said a word along the way, also pricked up his ears.

"Have you ever heard of a sentence that favoritism can lead to generals, and non-commissioned officers can favor favoritism?"

As soon as these words came out, the left and right were all surprised. Duan Guangzhen read very little, so he immediately shook his head, while Zhang Xing shook his head after rummaging through the classics of history in his mind. At this time, Du Shiyi smiled.

"It's natural not to hear about it, and that may be a matter for the future. Now that the government soldiers exist in name only, although the recruitment of soldiers is good, it also has such a biggest drawback. Since the recruits came from the homeless customers, these people were not government soldiers who could be disarmed and could become farmers, but soldiers who really made war a career. In wartime these men may be brave, but in times of peace they may coerce the officers at the top of their ranks over pay, treatment, and all sorts of other demands. And as long as the officers like Biased have such a force in their hands, they can in turn force the boss at an extraordinary moment. ”
