Jiangdu, Li Huairen has been staying in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion for more than 20 days, and it can be regarded as a preliminary control of the situation, and since the Qi'an rebel was exterminated by the Seven Princes, the forbidden army has also received an order from the capital to escort the chief Shi Lu Liangwei back to Beijing, Li Huairen seems to be sitting firmly in the position of the Metropolitan Governor, but what is the situation, just like people know how to drink water and warm themselves, Li Huairen has obviously lost a lot of weight in the past 20 days. On this day, Li Huairen was thinking about who to transfer to Qi'an, his brows were tightly locked, and at this moment, Meng Hai strode in, clasped his fists and bowed: "Qiqi Dadu, there is a Mr. Guan outside the door who asks to see him, holding a letter from Dadudu. ”

For Meng Haikuo, Li Huairen was still a little polite, especially when he heard Mr. Guan, not only his brows spread, but also a smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly opened his mouth and said, "Please, please." Serve tea. ”

The capital is a mixture of dragons and snakes, which is extremely difficult to manage, Li Huairen has been Jing Zhaoyin for more than ten years and has won the favor of all parties, although Li Huairen is a great talent, it also has a lot to do with Guan Zhongyun, a Qing guest. Guan Zhongyun is also a talented character, originally wanted to rely on his talent to have a future in the capital, but he was almost killed by street gangsters, and was finally rescued by Li Huairen. Knowing that Chu Haoyu intended to make himself the governor of Huainan Province, although Li Huairen was excited, he also knew that this was a mess, so he immediately sent a letter to the capital to ask Guan Zhongyun to come to Jiangdu.

Soon, Guan Zhongyun walked in, and Li Huairen, who was watching, smiled again. Guan Zhongyun is not tall and slightly fat, his round face exudes a kind of richness, his tall forehead contains wisdom, his slender eyes are even more shining, and he has a calm bearing between his steps and waves, and he is not mediocre at first glance.

Seeing Li Huairen welcome him to the door, Guan Zhongyun showed a smile on his face. Although he has been in the position of Jing Zhaoyin for more than ten years, once he got out of the shoal, he jumped up and became a powerful feudal official after four or five years, and now it seems that his choice back then was really right.

Walking to the front of the stage, Guan Zhongyun hugged his fists and saluted Li Huairen, and said with a smile: "But I haven't seen you in January, and my lord has become the governor of the second grade, so Guan Mou congratulates me first." ”

Haha laughed, Li Huairen opened his mouth and said: "It's just that he is trusted by the Holy Lord and loved by the Seventh Prince, and besides, this Metropolitan Governor seems to be glorious, but in fact he is walking on thin ice!" After more than ten years of friendship, Li Huairen didn't bother to say polite words to Guan Zhongyun, waved his hand and said, "Brother Guan, Huairen has prepared tea, please." ”

Hearing Li Huairen being so direct, how could Zhong Yun not know that Li Huairen was really in trouble, not to mention that he had guessed it by hearsay, the smile on his face immediately dissipated, and he raised his hand and said, "Please." ”

After the guest and host sat down, Li Huairen took a sip of the teacup, put down the teacup without tasting the taste of tea at all, and opened his mouth to say: "The change in Huainan, I want to come to Guan Brother has already understood, and the folk rumors, although they are not true, are not bad. ”

Hearing Li Huairen speak, Guan Zhongyun put down the teacup and said, "I listened to it on the way, and I hope that the adults will tell me the truth." ”

Li Huairen nodded lightly and said: "The Qi'an civil rebellion originated from Muar County's order Zhang Anliang was killed, and Qi An'an guarded Dong Dachen's officials and sent troops to suppress it, and was finally used by thieves to induce the Qi'an civil rebellion, and this is only the source, what is really shocking is that Yang Dadu actually united with the hundred officials of Huainan Province, colluded with the ministers of the DPRK and China to hide and not report, and finally committed suicide in fear of crime. After Huainan Wei sent troops to quell the rebellion, he found that the deputy commander made Wei Jiangtao a rebellious minister and thief, and killed Zhang Baiyang, the commander of the capital, to create the illusion that he was missing, so that he could lead the army to the expedition, and the defection caused the defeat of Qi'an, which shocked the world. ”

Hearing about the rebellious ministers and thieves, Guan Zhongyun seemed to think of something, and a light flashed in his eyes, and Li Huairen continued: "Hearing the news of the Qi'an civil uprising, the Seventh Prince guessed that this matter was related to the Heavenly Thorn traitor, and immediately led his troops to Qi'an to quell the rebellion. Defeated by the thieves, the Seven Princes rushed to Huizhou, Qi'an was temporarily guarded by the Divine Captain, and the official needed to select one person to go to Qi'an County as soon as possible. Speaking of this, after a pause, Li Huairen hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, and saw that no one could whisper: "Don't hide it from my brother, it is the heavenly thorn thief who is making trouble this time." ”

Guan Zhongyun already had a guess, but when he heard Li Huairen say it in person, his expression was still shocked, and after thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth and said: "Since it is the remnants of the previous dynasty who are in turmoil, the Seventh Prince has also led a large army to calm the chaos, but my lord is worried that there are still heavenly thorn traitors mixed in?" And after the chaos, it should be used again, it is a good time for adults to establish their prestige, but adults are worried about people who are useless? ”

Li Huairen nodded, opened his mouth and said: "The Heavenly Thorn Rebel launched a defeat in Qi'an, there must be a plot, this official believes that the Seventh Prince will investigate this matter in detail, and this time he sent an envoy to Jiangnan, accompanied by the Sect of the Criminal Department, and he has already been ordered by the Seventh Prince to enter Qi'an to investigate." Originally, the Seventh Prince wanted the official to go to Qi'an County to settle the people, but now the official can't get out, and he needs to select a person to join Qi'an as soon as possible to settle the people, but," Speaking of this, Li Huairen shook his head and said: "Yang Dudu is an old minister left by the first emperor, quite trusted by the saints, and has been operating in Huainan Road for nearly ten years, which can be said to be deep-rooted, and now Yang Dudu committed suicide in fear of crime, Changshi Lu Liangwei was escorted back to Beijing, and Zhang Baiyang was killed by the commander, and Wei Jiangtao was a thief who is a thief in the sky, and the official really doesn't know who can use it?" Moreover, this official's envoy to Jiangnan this time is to rectify the rule of Jiangnan officials by the holy decree, and now, it is really a real ice and fire! ”

Guan Zhongyun understood Li Huairen's distress. Jiangnan Province has been operated by the former governor Yang Gongling for many years, and I am afraid that most of the officials are his disciples, otherwise he can't still think of deceiving the saint after the popular uprising, and at the same time, it can be known that the officials of Huainan Province have become one because of their interests, and Li Huairen got up Qi'an to investigate the matter, but the Qi'an civil rebellion turned Li Huairen into the governor of Huainan Province, so that not only to rectify the Huainan officials to satisfy the saint, but also to appease many officials for their own use, otherwise, there is no title of metropolitan governor. Thinking about this, Guan Zhongyun did not speak immediately, but thought about how to break the game.

Guarding Zhong Yun fell into deep thought, Li Huairen didn't bother him, picked up the teacup and took a sip, never noticed that the tea was cold, and it was quiet for a while.

I don't know how long it took, Guan Zhongyun suddenly raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth and said, "My lord, Guan Mou thought that there was no need to worry about this, but it was just a matter of one sentence." ”

With a soft sound, Li Huairen showed an interesting look, and hurriedly said, "I still hope that Brother Guan will teach me." ”

Sitting on the Taishi's chair, Guan Zhongyun's fat body has a kind of bearing, and said slowly: "Huainan has been a rich land since ancient times, with many heroes and heroes, and there has never been a shortage of capable people, so as long as the adults gather hundreds of officials to explain the reason, they want to go to Qi'an from capable officials." ”

Seeing Li Huairen frowning, Guan Zhongyun continued: "This method has several benefits. First of all, Yang Dudu has been operating in Huainan for many years, and he is not a monolith, this move will definitely be able to break the balance and test the reactions of all parties, and the adults can use this to suppress or collect, and the adults are now in charge of the Dadu Governor but there is no one available, and he needs to control a force as soon as possible. Second, the governor of the capital has the holy order to rectify the rule of Huainan officials, this matter is well known, I think it is for this reason, many officials do not dare to show goodwill to the adults, but once they make a good relationship with one party, others are afraid that they will have to find ways to make friends with the governor. Third, Qi Anmin has been killed and injured countless people and needs to be reassured as soon as possible, with the help of local officials in Huainan Province, as long as the adults promise heavy profits, if you want to come here, you must find ways to calm the people, these officials and the ability of the family, Guan Mou thinks that it is enough to stabilize Qi'an. ”

After listening to Guan Zhongyun, Li Huairen was silent for a moment and opened his mouth and said: "Brother Guan, Huairen didn't think about letting many officials recommend it, it's just that the two of us are a smear, once we make a mistake in using people, we are afraid of ......" In the elongated voice, Li Huairen sighed lightly and said: "Now, this official is only temporarily acting as the governor of the capital, and I don't know how many people are staring at this position. ”

How can Zhong Yun not understand Li Huairen's concerns, killing people in officialdom without seeing blood is worse than in the rivers and lakes, especially in a position like Li Huairen. After a moment of silence, Guan Zhongyun suddenly thought of something, and two lights lit up in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, you are friendly with the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince controls the Heavenly Guard, if you can get the support of Huainan Dark Rudder......"

Suddenly, Li Huairen's eyes also lit up. Tianwei is the eyes and ears of the Chu family, if he can get the support of Jiangnan Dark Rudder, he is not afraid of problems in employing people. After thinking for a while, Li Huairen seemed to think that this method was feasible, and said with a smile to Guan Zhongyun: "Brother Guan is talented, and the younger brother admires it, so I will help Huairen solve a big problem, and the official will talk to General Meng in a while." After a pause at this, Li Huairen sighed lightly and then opened his mouth and said: "Don't hide it from my brother, this official seems to be in control of the situation these days, but the mess left by Yang Dudu, the official has a feeling of powerlessness, and seeing that the officials are perfunctory one by one, the official not only can't break it but has to follow his words, to be honest, the official actually has a feeling of disgust, and he can't kick his feet." ”

Hearing Li Huairen's words, Guan Zhongyun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Li Huairen has been able to take charge of Jing Zhaoyin for ten years, relying on a mouth, seeing people talking about people and talking nonsense, but now he hates to say those polite words, how can Zhong Yun not be funny? It's just that soon, Guan Zhongyun put away his smile and said solemnly: "Your Excellency has now become the governor of the capital, and he should think about the millions of Li people under his rule, so I can't see those who are cheating and cheating." ”

Looking at Guan Zhongyun, Li Huairen was suddenly happy, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Brother Guan to also compliment the younger brother, but it's really a different status, so let's seek his own government in his position." Shaking his head, Li Huairen turned his mouth and said: "Brother Guan, now the younger brother is anxious, and there are still many questions to ask Brother Guan. Brother Guan, a few days ago, when the Holy Shang transferred the forbidden army back to Beijing, he specially inquired about the official, saying that the official had been the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, and who could be transferred to Huainan Province to serve as the chief historian? The official thought for several days, but he didn't know how to reply to the saint, in addition, the deputy commander made Wei Jiangtao turn against Qi An and caused a great change in Qi'an, and most of the 3,000 soldiers were killed, how to deal with this matter, and it was also necessary to come up with a charter and report it to the court as soon as possible. ”

Indeed, as Li Huairen said, the current Huainan Road is a mess, Li Huairen must come up with a solution as soon as possible and report it to the imperial court, although he has some ideas, but after all, no one has participated in it, and Guan Zhongyun's arrival is to solve his urgent need, and the two have been discussing late at night before dispersing.
