Lingzhou to the eastern capital of 2,000 miles, when the performance was sparse, Du Shiyi ordered the messenger to hurry up, and the return trip to make the book took 400 miles to expedit. When the punishment of the judge who came to Shengyan to dismiss the official rank and the judge in white spread all over the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, there were not a few people who were surprised. In addition, those who were already afraid of Du Shiyi were even more silent.

As for Ye Wenjun, who is in the evil place of Liulingnan, no one has the heart to pay attention to it. Compared with Shengyan's popularity, Ye Wenjun, who is lustful and famous, is more than inferior.

And the rest of the civil officials who responded to the invitation of the Holy Strict and collectively headed Ye Wenjun naturally regretted it. On this day, they gathered at Sheng Yan's house when they heard the news, but when they were about to speak, they looked at me, and no one knew how to open this mouth first. As a result, he still came to Shengyan to break the embarrassing atmosphere, and smiled lightly: "Everyone, it's not a big deal that the sky has fallen. At the beginning, Yang Jingshu, the governor of Liangzhou, was once cut off all his officials because of the defeat, but he still inspected the governor of Liangzhou in white, and later he was not an official as before. Compared to being degraded from afar, such a punishment can be regarded as extremely light. ”

Even so, some people are still unconvinced: "But isn't this too much?" Ye Wenjun's kid did something, why do you have to be punished by Brother Yan? ”

"Have you ever thought about it, if it weren't for the fact that Du Dashuai still trusts me and is willing to use me as a judge of moderation, I will certainly make Ye Wenjun deserve the crime of waiting for the previous head, but the court only needs to be lightly charged with a crime that he knows but covers, even if he only investigates negligence, King Xin'an is now gone, where will you and I be?"

Lai Shengyan suddenly sank his face and asked such a sentence word by word. Seeing that some of the people immediately woke up, and some hesitated for a moment before they were awe-inspiring, he sighed and said: "In the land of Shuofang, the soldiers are strong, and they used to rely on the prestige of the king, so they can be used to be like fingers. And now that the king is in office, even if Du Dashuai is not an unknown person, but to convince them, how can we do it without us, who have been in Shuofang for many years? Now, I might as well open the skylight and say something bright to you, Ye Wenjun's matter is not something that I know, but Du Dashuai is aware of it. ”

Hearing Sheng Yan's last words, the hall was full of shock. At this time, Wu Bo, who joined the army, couldn't help frowning and asked, "It's only been a few days since Du Dashuai arrived in Shuofang, why would he find such clues?" ”

Not only Wu Bo didn't believe it, but others also had such questions. Because all the people who came today were colleagues who had searched for Ye Wenjun's bad deeds with him before, Lai Shengyan smiled bitterly: "Actually, the king has long been aware of this matter, otherwise, when recommending civil and military affairs to Du Dashuai, he would not have left out a single Ye Wenjun." And Du Dashuai was as careful as a hair, and he would not think that this was an unintentional mistake by Dashuai, so he took advantage of Ye Wenjun's drunkenness and neglected housework for days, and ordered someone to secretly interrogate his concubine and maid, so he asked the truth. He also took me to see Ye Wenjun after being drunk, and made people deceive him into the appearance of a king, which made Ye Wenjun confide the truth in a panic. ”

"It turns out that the king really already knows the way!" Wu Bo sighed lightly and shook his head, "It's no wonder that Brother Yan has been managing many foreign affairs such as Zhidu Yingtian for the marshal all these years, and Ye Wenjun takes care of the case files and documents in the middle, and he is the one who is most familiar with the handwriting of the marshal, no wonder after the handwriting of the marshal, Ye Wenjun first invited himself to Quzhou, and then was rejected and drank heavily for days!" ”

"I found out Ye Wenjun's crime only from the king's recommendation, and Du Dashuai really deserved his reputation." It was Liu Feng who spoke, and he glanced around at his colleagues with a complicated expression, and then asked to Lai Shengyan, "In this way, Brother Ziyan has been obedient to Du Dashuai for several days, and he has been conscientious in all affairs, and he is also grateful that at the beginning of Du Dashuai's tenure, he avenged the king's revenge?" ”

Lai Shengyan replied calmly: "In addition, it is also because of Du Dashuai's gentleman's mind. He can not only rely on the king's recommendation to retain us without reservation, but also treat Ye Wenjun's children well, so the head of the company is worthy of my best dedication! ”

Ye Tianmin was left by Du Shiyi to serve by his side, this matter is no longer news, no matter whether Shuo Fang is civil or military, he has to secretly smack his tongue about this, secretly thinking that Du Shiyi is not afraid of being stabbed suddenly to take revenge, and the same is true for everyone here. Even if they all think that they are searching for Ye Wenjun's bad deeds everywhere and knocking him down to avenge Li Yi in one fell swoop, this is a matter of course, but even if they still remember to take care of the children of the Ye family, they will never dare to leave people by their side. Who is not afraid that these children will turn back and seek revenge on themselves?

Therefore, since Lai Shengyan has clearly expressed his attitude, others can't talk about much family background and connections in the court, so they will follow Li Yi closely from the front, and then Wu Bo took the lead and said: "Brother Ziyan, your vision has always been fine, and Du Dashuai has been famous over the years, so I should do my best to help Sasuke." ”

"As soon as the king leaves, if there is no one to protect us, we will be like rootless duckweed, if Du Dashuai can really trust us like the king, why should I be a petty official?"

One individual echoed his words, and when he came to Shengyan, he only felt a long sigh of relief. He arched his hand to everyone, and then said sincerely: "Now that the Turks are troubled, although it is impossible to call for tens of thousands of soldiers and horses as before, it is impossible to prevent them from fighting for power, but attacking my Tang Dynasty to gain fame in order to seek a hundred responses, so Shuo Fang must not be chaotic!" With our concerted efforts to help Du Dashuai, Shuo Fang will be unbreakable! ”

As a result of the private meeting on this day, Lai Shengyan told Du Shiyi in the original way. Even though Zhilu Dao, the judge of the festival, has a very high prestige in Shuofang, but now I can hear him express his support to others with such a clean and neat attitude, which makes all the wingmen return to their hearts, Du Shiyi has to sigh that he has picked up a treasure this time! Because he had just been cut from rank when he came to Shengyan, he thought about it and said: "I heard that you have always had a clean breeze on your sleeves and no money to spare, but now you are guilty of meritorious service, and you have no money, so you will not be a dignified judge to rely on others to help you live." ”

Without waiting for Shengyan to refuse, he continued: "Since I have accepted a Ye Tianmin as an attendant, if there is a son in your family who is about the same age, you might as well come here to help me." In addition to confidential cases, I also have a lot of chores to do such as copying and sorting, and I pay him 4,000 yuan a month. ”

Ye Tianmin on the side was dumbfounded when he heard this, but Du Shiyi turned his head to him again and smiled: "Equal pay for equal work, you are the same." I know that the Ye family has always been wealthy, but the wealth of the ancestors and the money obtained by their own strength should be different. ”

If Du Shiyi directly gave money and goods, he would definitely refuse to come to Shengyan, but since this Shuo Fang Jiedu made such a suggestion, he had to think about it carefully. After all, the county lieutenant of an ordinary middle and lower county is only a few thousand yuan, and a child in his family can earn 4,000 yuan a month as an attendant, which is already considerable. He used to pay 50,000 yuan a month, that is, 50,000 yuan, because he often took care of his colleagues who came to beg for food, as well as the elders in the village, who had always spent on his own family, that is, about four or five thousand yuan.

"This ...... Thank you for your love! ”

Seeing that Shengyan really agreed, Du Shiyi smiled and said: "This is very good, as for the elders in your township, I will support you according to your old practice." You don't have to excuse yourself, this is not to help you, but also a little bit of my heart to compensate you. I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a month, and I can still do it! ”

Du Shiyi said this part, and when he came to Shengyan's heart, he was moved, so he no longer refused. After he retired and left, Du Shiyi saw Ye Tianmin's eyes flickering, as if he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, he didn't pay attention to this little boy, and summoned Zhang Xing and Wang Changling Gao Shi.

These three wingmen of the same age from poor backgrounds were also talking with great interest about the newly acquired Yulu. Compared with Longyou, Shuo Fang's side has more other inputs, and the money in hand is considerable, and they all have no other burden except for their wives and children, so they only feel that they have more than enough money on hand.

To say that the hundred officials of the Tang Dynasty, the envoys and wingmen are not inferior to the Beijing officials and Chixian counties that ordinary people are eager to follow. Just the fixed salary, the festival envoy has 300,000 yuan per month, the festival judge also has 50,000 yuan, and the secretary and the magistrate are 45,000 and 40,000 yuan respectively, which is almost the same as the governor Shi Sima. Coupled with the income from the job, it is enough for the family to have no worries about food and clothing. Not to mention that Du Shiyi also served as the envoy of Guannei Dao, the governor of Lingzhou and the assassin of Lingzhou, and the protector of Anbei.

This is only the income on the surface, if you add all kinds of gifts from the local wealthy families, the income from killing the enemy, the gifts of the New Year's Festival, etc., as a real feudal official, the festival makes the income not inferior to Zaifu. When Li Yi left office, in addition to a cart of miscellaneous goods, his belongings were two pack horses, and the proceeds were used for the tooth soldiers. As for Du Shiyi's own money, he doesn't have to scrape the ground, that's another matter.

"Congratulations to the handsome, Brother Sasuke, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort in Shuo in the future." Zhang Xing complimented with a smile, and seeing that Du Shiyi was also pleased, he turned his tone and said, "However, among the generals in the army, many of them are talking about it, saying that Brother Ziyan is too spineless, and they have all been punished like this but they are still loyal, among which Xie Zhi, the deputy general of the Jingluo Army, is the most. Now the deputy envoy of Jiedu, General Li, is certainly a military envoy of Jingluo, but he is from a clan and has prestige, but it may take time to say that the order is forbidden, but today an urgent report has just been sent from the front, but the uncle Wang who let the Turks kill him left is a little impatient. ”

Whether it is the Tibetan Turks, or Xi and Khitan, the attack is most in summer and autumn, followed by spring, and the spring can destroy spring ploughing, but for Shuofang, because it is necessary to cross the Yellow River to invade the meander, so winter is also the most important to guard. Although it was only said that the Turks had signs of marching, Du Shiyi did not dare to underestimate it, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "This matter is not trivial, pass the order, and gather the generals tomorrow to discuss the strategy of defending and attacking the enemy!" ”

"In addition, some of the Hu chiefs who live in Lanchi Prefecture have already gathered in Lingwu City when they hear that the marshal has newly arrived, and they have presented their prayers." Wang Changling thought of the worship posts piled up on the desk, and had to mention it as well.

Gao Shi reminded carefully: "Dashuai, when Wang Dashuai was in Shuofang, he once killed and surrendered in the Zhongshou Chengpit, and later there was the Kang Zhibin Rebellion, and His Majesty moved more than 50,000 Hu people to Heluo and Jianghuai. The ten left in place are not one of them, but they still have to be guarded against! ”
