[The year of grinding has finally passed, calculate it, in the seven days from February 2 to 8, I only changed seven chapters, and I owe seven chapters. Starting today, in the next week, I will make up all the debts I owe three times a day. 】

After reading the holy decrees one by one, Wang Zhongzheng's remaining work was to verify the authenticity of Gu Wei's victory, but there was no need to rush this matter, and he couldn't rush it. After Yu Longke and Blind Medicine lived in Qinzhou for a few days, they had already returned to their lair to wait for the reward.

It was easy for Wang Zhongzheng to count the heads, and they were all salted and piled up in the warehouse, waiting for the court to check whether the beheadings were true or not. But to confirm face-to-face with Yu Longke and Blind Medicine, it took more than ten days of hard work.

After Dou Shunqing and Xiang Bao received the holy decree, they all stood aside with expressionless faces. Wang Zhongzheng didn't touch their moldy heads, and stepped forward to congratulate Wang Shao, Gao Zunyu and Han Gang one by one. The two sides are cold and hot, one is sad and one is happy, and it is the contrast that is clear.

But the most proud people in the lobby were not Wang Shao and them, Li Shizhong, the governor of Qinzhou, walked in from the small door at the back of the hall with a smile on his face.

As soon as Wang Zhongzheng saw an official in a purple robe come out, he hurriedly left Wang Shao and went over to salute. All the civil and military attaches in the hall also bowed to the dignity of the mansion together.

Li Shizhong replied with a half-salute and said with a smile: "I know that I came to Qinzhou in the west, and there are many failures in the division, and there are many slackness, and I hope that everyone will know and forgive the sins." ”

"What the government said, Zhongzheng will never dare to take it, how can there be forgiveness." Wang Zhongzheng casually said a few perfunctory words, and his heart was full of doubts. He entered the state government to announce the edict, but did not inform the current owner of the Qinzhou state government, his actions actually showed the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards Li Shizhong. Under normal circumstances, Li Shizhong should be panicked, but the deeply smug smile in front of him was not half panicked.

In order to wash the dust for Wang Zhongzheng, the angel, Li Shizhong passed down a banquet in the lobby and invited all the officials of Qinzhou to attend together. The palace banquet on the main day can be placed in the Daqing Palace, and the banquet in the yamen hall is also held several times a year.

There will be some time before the banquet is prepared, and the guest of honor, Wang Zhongzheng, is going to the residence where he has just been arranged to bathe and change clothes, and take a rest by the way. And the Dou, Xiang, Wang, and Gao people in the lobby also scattered, waiting for the banquet to begin.

Wang Hou and Zhao Long followed Wang Shao and Han Gang back to the official hall, while Gao Zunyu had other things to do and did not follow.

After a while, when they met again, both of them put on official robes, which made Wang Sunchen's eyes hot, and he stared at Zhao Long's cyan all the way.

However, he and Yang Ying also got official status, a few days ago, the official document promoting the two of them to officials had been sent to Qinzhou - they were not qualified enough to receive a holy decree - but their official edict had to go to Beijing to report to the third class courtyard to get it, which was not as simple as Wang Hou and Zhao Long receiving their hands directly in Beijing.

Wang Shao walked in front, and Wang Hou told Han Gang what he saw and heard when he entered the pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven: "This time, the foolish brother entered the pilgrimage more and more, and he was lucky to see the face of heaven. I don't intend to see Yukun on the screen of the Chongzheng Palace! ”

Han Gang smiled: "Are you sure it's Han Gang?" Or is the little brother the only one in the world with this name? ”

"Yukun, don't be humble, the Son of Heaven has mentioned you a few times." The Son of Heaven's attention to Han Gang made Wang Hou envious, even after nearly a month, he was in the same mood.

Back in the official hall, Wang Shao didn't ask about his son's experience in Beijing, nor did he look at the private messages he brought back, he sat down and asked, "Yukun, is this time considered a cocoon?" ”

Han Gang nodded a little helplessly, "Li Jingluo may be going to stay in Qinzhou instead of Deputy Chief Dou this time." ”

Han Gang replied directly, making Wang Shao sigh: "If I knew this, I would have left Dou Shunqing." It's the same to wait for Li Shizhong to leave and then deal with him. ”

Picking one out between the fish and the bear's paw is already a lot of thought. And to choose between stinky meat and rotten shrimp is even more of a headache, and Han Gang doesn't want both. can recall the smug smile on the face of Fang Cai Li Shizhong, and you can know that he is full of confidence in replacing Dou Shunqing and being retained in Qinzhou.

In the lobby just now, Wang Shao was smiling like Li Shizhong, but he was a little stiff with his smile, although outsiders couldn't see it, but Han Gang had been with him for a long time, but he could see it at a glance. Li Shizhong is proud, Wang Shao must be able to smile happily, then it is called a ghost.

Han Gang coughed lightly, and Wang Shao, whose eyebrows were tightly locked, looked over again. Han Gang said that he was clearing his throat beforehand, and they were used to it. And although Wang Hou couldn't hear it clearly, he saw his father's serious expression, and knew that he was talking about a big thing, so he didn't intervene, and listened quietly.

I heard Han Gang say: "I remember the next time I went to the capital, it was the beginning of February. At that time, it happened that Han Xianggong wrote to the Son of Heaven, opposing the Qingmiao Law and preparing for the new law to disturb the people and disrupt the country......"

When Han Gang said this, it was a meal. His words were self-targeted, which made Wang Shao's brain spin quickly, and he asked: "Is that the time when Wang Xiangxuan asked to go to the hospital?" ”

Han Gang nodded: "Of course, Xianggong Wang's move is not really asking to go. In fact, he is telling the Son of Heaven that there is me and no him, forcing the official family to choose between changing the law and not changing the law. ”

Wang Shao's heart moved when he heard this, Han Gang had told him after he came back from the capital, but now that he mentioned it in this situation, of course, he had another deep meaning. Wang Shao's eyes narrowed: "Yukun, do you want me to learn from Wang Xianggong?" ”

Han Gang smiled slightly: "Wang Xianggong's tricks are not good, but it is enough to learn his original meaning." ”

"Is there me without him?" Wang Shao's eyes narrowed even more, compressing his gaze sharper.

Han Gang nodded again, but did not speak.

Dou Shunqing's trip to Que this time will inevitably never return. If the Son of Heaven wants to maintain the internal stability of Qinzhou, it is impossible for an official with a bad reputation in Qinzhou to sit in the position of governor and pacification envoy all the way. And Xiang Bao's seat was also given to Zhang Shouyu. When Dou and Xiang went to the two, among the three people with the highest status in the Qinzhou army, Li Shizhong, who was the only one left, would naturally be able to hold his position. The governor of Qinzhou, who has seen through the mind of the Son of Heaven, is why he can smile so proudly.

Li Shizhong, Dou Shunqing, and Xiang Bao are the three stumbling blocks in the matter of Hehuang Kaibian. Wang Shao stayed in Qinzhou for two years, worked hard, seized the opportunity, and had two great victories in Tuoshuo and Guwei. In the Pingrong policy, the two policies of Tuntian and Shiyi were used, and the plan of the fundamental Longyou has not been implemented so far.

Han Gang had already made up his mind to help Wang Shao achieve triumph as soon as possible, and he would never allow any of them to remain in Qinzhou. If you don't take this opportunity to drive away Li Shizhong as soon as possible, no one can say what kind of changes the situation will have in the future - maybe in a few days Wang Shao will lose a few consecutive defeats, and it is not impossible.

The original plan was to drive Dou Shunqing, who had the greatest chance of retaining, away with Li Shizhong and Xiang Bao, although it was a bit self-defeating, but it was just to change the target from Dou Shunqing to Li Shizhong.

Han Gang's proposal was to make the Son of Heaven understand that Li Shizhong, who stayed in Qinzhou at the least, was incompatible with Wang Shao, forcing the Son of Heaven to choose one of the two. And who will be chosen in the end, he is sure enough. Wang Shao was also sure, and no longer confirmed with Han Gang, but asked what his son had seen and heard about his trip to Beijing.

The official banquet was prepared quickly, and Wang Shao only asked his son a few words to inform the little official who went to the banquet that he had walked to the door.

In the lobby, Li Shizhong and Wang Zhong were sitting down at the top of the room. Sitting on the left and right rows of seats are all the officials in Qinzhou City, all of whom sit down according to their official positions. Han Gang had just been promoted to the first rank, and his position had been promoted by a few places. And Wang Hou and Zhao Long were also qualified to participate, but they sat behind the most.

The officials of Qinzhou City came one after another. Dou Shunqing and Xiang Bao also sat in their places. Soon, Zhang Shouyue also arrived. In the midst of the rumors, the newly appointed Qin Fenglu soldiers and horses strode into the hall. first glanced at Xiang Bao, who was already seated, and looked away, and then greeted Li Shizhong who greeted him.

Zhang Shouyue's beard is all gray, and he is a famous general in the Kansai Army. He has been in the army for forty years, and the time he has been rolling in the army is about the same age as Xiang Bao. But he was not able to sit on an equal footing with Xiang Bao until today. And if it weren't for Xiang Bao's stroke, he would have to wait for a succession for a few years. Thinking of this, he looked at Wang Shao and Han Gang with a little more gratitude in his eyes.

They all sat down, and Li Shizhong got up to toast. After some tedious etiquette before the formal banquet, this is when the banquet really begins. Drinking orders were ordered, toasts were made to each other, and some courtesans were brought in to perform to accompany the drink, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Dou Shunqing, who had been drinking sullen wine, raised his glass to Li Shizhong again after saluting Wang Zhongzheng, and sighed: "The family is unfortunate, and the subordinate officials have no way to govern the family, and the control is not strict, so those ruffians bewitched the grandson of the lower official." At this point, the lower officials did not dare to ask the mansion to bend the law, but only hoped that the mansion could investigate the crimes of those thieves who lured good people to do evil, so that they could no longer harm the children of other good families. As he spoke, two lines of tears flowed from the old man's eyes.

It's finally here! Han Gang, who had been secretly observing, then his eyes lit up. Li Shizhong insisted on sending Dou Xie to prison and presided over the trial of the case. It was because he guessed that Dou Shunqing would replace him, in order to gain a straight name in the heart of the Son of Heaven, so that he could recover as soon as possible, so he was so ruthless. But at present, the premise is no longer established, Dou Shunqing begged to come to the door, and Li Shizhong's personality should not be iron-faced and selfless.

Dou Shunqing begged Li Shizhong in a low voice, asking him to put all the blame on Dou Jie's fox friend and dog friend. And when he said it in front of Wang Zhongzheng, he also had the meaning of letting Wang Zhongzheng spread his words to the ears of the Son of Heaven. I hope that the Son of Heaven can see his old face and spare his grandson's life.

Dou Shunqing claimed to be a subordinate official, giving Li Shizhong enough face. The governor of Qinzhou helped Dou Shunqing to sit back in his seat, shook his head and sighed: "It is already five days in the division, and you should keep your duty, but you have no time to take care of anything else." "It is high-sounding, but in fact, it is a promise to Dou Shunqing that he will not pursue Dou Jie's crime in office, and the previous mustard seems to have been swept away.

Seeing the smugness in Li Shizhong's eyes that could not be hidden, Han Gang turned his eyes to look at Wang Shao at the top of the place. I saw that he was turning his wine glass, a little hesitant.

Han Gang was slightly angry in his heart, if Wang Shao refused to go up, he would have to go. Wang Hou said it all just now, his name has been remembered by the Son of Heaven, since this is the case, Han Gang has nothing to scruple about. The difference between the level of the official position can be erased by the emperor's attention, and now in the heart of the Son of Heaven, his value of Li Shizhong is not necessarily higher than himself.

Han Gang's waist straightened, and just as he was about to speak, Wang Shao finally moved. He put down his wine glass and said to Li Shizhong: "Dafu is wrong. Although it is a five-day omen, it is still the honor of a house. There are cases pending trial, but there is no reason for them to continue. Right and wrong are at ease in the hearts of the people, and if you want to come to the wisdom of the mansion, you should be able to give the people of Qinzhou a justice! ”

Wang Shao is still responsible, and a large part of it has been suppressed by Li Shizhong for a long time, and the old grievances accumulated in his heart make him not shy away.

As soon as Wang Shao said this, the drunken atmosphere of the audience suddenly cooled down, and it was so quiet that even a needle could be heard. Dou Shunqing gritted her teeth, Li Shizhong's face was cloudy, and Wang Zhongzheng's eyes also deepened, his eyes turned, jumping back and forth on the three of them.

Han Gang smiled slightly, and couldn't get along with Li Shizhong in front of Wang Zhongzheng, this is called 'with me without him'. Let the Son of Heaven weigh it, who should be left in Qinzhou City? Whether it is Li Shizhong or Wang Shao.

Li Shizhong pursed his lips and stared at Wang Shao for a while, and then his gaze moved to Lu Xia's head. His staff member Yao Fei said it well, everyone's habits are different, Wang Shao's temperament is never so direct, but very similar to someone sitting at the bottom of the head. Li Shizhong pondered Wang Shao's words, and it was clearly written that Han Ji was produced.

Staring at the corner of Han Gang's lips with a seemingly nonexistent smile, Li Shizhong's eyes were pierced with pain, his face was like a heavy frost in September, and he scolded fiercely,

"Irrigation Child!"
