"Do you want to send the official department to Long Tingyue in the matter?" Zuodu Yushi Gao Panlong Ti yì Road.

"No, Long Tingyue has some talent, but he is only an official of the seventh rank, even if he is promoted exceptionally, he can't mention the position of the county guard of the fourth rank, and this Long Tingyue's character is a little cowardly, and he is not suitable to be the county guard of this Tokugawa County, and it is harmful to go there." Yang Lian objected.

"How about Xu Guanchang, a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, who is an official from the fourth grade, and the county guard who is promoted to the fourth grade does not ask." Zuo Guangdou said yes.

"No, what kind of place is the northwest, Xu Guanchang and his weak scholar went there, so he didn't go to die."

Wang Ji, the secretary of the Criminal Department, objected, Wang Ji and Xu Guanchang were not only the same year, but also fellow villagers, and they usually had a good relationship, how could they let their friends go to that place in the northwest to die, you must know that the officials sent by the imperial court to the northwest in recent years were either beaten to death by the chaotic people or died in an accident.

So over the years, the imperial court has had a headache for sending officials to the northwest of the empire, basically no one wants to go, if you force others to go, some people simply resign and don't do it, even if there are officials who are not afraid of death and are willing to go to the northwest, now they are basically dead, so no one is willing to go now.

"If you don't go, Master Li, you know the art of war, and you may be able to turn the situation around the entire northwest."

Yang Lian pointed to Li Jin, the left attendant of the military department, and said, in Yang Lian's opinion, the situation in the northwest is so bad, sending civilian officials to basically do nothing, it is better to send an official who understands the art of war, after all, there are continuous wars in the northwest region, and there is no official who understands the art of war, which does not help the situation in the northwest, but gives his life in vain.

"Lord Yang, you are joking, are there still few officials from military attaches sent to the northwest over the years? The result? The military attache will die faster than the civilian official, and you want me to die. ”

Li Jin said unhappily, not everyone in the Donglin Party is not afraid of death, this left attendant of the military department, Master Li, who is used to living a good life, is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he will definitely be unwilling to go to such a dangerous place in the northwest.

"You, the vertical son has no guts!"

Yang Lian angrily pointed at Li Jin and scolded, the Great Qin Empire has come to the point of internal and external troubles today, because there are many such officials in the imperial court who are greedy for life and afraid of death, only caring about the safety of their own net worth and ignoring the safety of the country.

"What? Lord Yang, you are bold, or you should go to the northwest, I think if you go to the northwest, with your old talent, if you don't govern the northwest well, why let us people go to death. Li Jin shot back.

"You~~" Yang Lian was a little speechless with anger.

"Okay, when is it still noisy?"

Zhao Nanxing, the secretary of the ministry, said unhappily that every time he sent officials out of the northwest, the Donglin Party often quarreled internally, what was the matter.

"Do we have to send people to the northwest from the Donglin Party? In the imperial court, there is not only one faction of our Donglin Party. Liang Tianqi, the secretary of Dali Temple, said.

In recent years, basically the Donglin Party members went to the northwest to become officials, but after the death of so many elites in a row, there were great differences within the Donglin Party about sending people from their own faction to the northwest, and Liang Tianqi was against the Donglin Party officials going to the northwest.

"Yes, Lord Liang is right, this time we shouldn't send people from our side to the northwest to be officials, I think we have to recommend people from other factions to go to the northwest to be officials, our people have died so much, they should also die a few."

The officials all opened their mouths to Wei Dazhong in the matter, this Wei Dazhong has always refused to send people from his own faction to the northwest to become officials, that place is now simply a fire pit, whoever goes will die.

If you continue to send people from your own faction to the northwest to die, the power of your own faction in the court will become weaker and weaker, which is very dangerous, once the power of your own side is weak and cannot resist the attack of the eunuch party, the entire Donglin Party will face a catastrophe.

"Yes, let the eunuch party send people to the northwest, although the eunuch party is not a good bird, but there is nothing to say about the loyalty to the imperial court."

Li Jin, the left attendant of the military department, opened his mouth and said, as long as he doesn't send himself, he doesn't care who goes to Li Jin, but compared to sending people to the northwest from his side, Li Jin still thinks that it is good to let the eunuch party go to the northwest, in this way, it can also play a role in weakening the power of the eunuch party.

"Yes, it's better to let the people from the eunuch side go."

In the past ten years, after dozens of Donglin Party officials died in the northwest, many Donglin Party members did not approve of their faction going to the northwest to become officials.

"Let's let the eunuchs go."

"It's time for the eunuchs to send people."

"It's their turn, too."

……

Everyone said one after another, anyway, one meaning is not to let the people on their side go out of the northwest, let the people of the eunuch party go out of the northwest to become officials, anyway, everyone hates the eunuch party to death, and they can't wait to let the rebel people in the northwest beat the eunuch party officials sent to the northwest to death.

"Since everyone thinks that they want to let the eunuch party send people out of the northwest to be the county guard of this Tokugawa county, then let the eunuch people go, but Wei Zhongxian may not agree to let the eunuch party personnel go to the northwest." Second assistant Nalan Mingzhu said.

"That's a question, who wants to go to the northwest to die." Zuo Guangdou said with a frown.

"If we want the eunuch party to send someone to the northwest to be the county guard of Tokugawa County, the eunuch party will definitely not agree." Liang Tianqi said.

"Oh, Lord Liang, do you have a way to let the eunuchs go to the northwest to become officials?" Wei Dazhong asked suspiciously.

"We will be caught off guard by the eunuch party tomorrow, and directly elect the eunuch party to be the county guard of Tokugawa County, if we are elected by so many people, the emperor will definitely adopt it, and when the eunuch party reacts, it will be too late." Liang Tianqi said with a smile.

"Then who should be elected to be the Tokugawa Commander?" Zuo Guangdou asked curiously.

"Dali Temple Shaoqing Qin Duan, I think the most dangerous person in this eunuch party is this Qin Duan, this person is too smart, if he stays in the capital, it will be bad for all of us." Liang Tianqi said.

"Lord Liang is right, this Qin Duan is really too smart, staying in the capital is still really a scourge for us, or let him stay away from the capital, it is best to be beaten to death by the rebels in the northwest." Zuodu Yushi Gao Panlong said.

"There is no better candidate than this Qin Duan to be the county warden of Tokugawa County, this Qin Dui happens to be the official of the fourth grade, which is completely equivalent to the official position of this Tokugawa County Warden."

"Since everyone thinks that it is appropriate to nominate this eunuch lackey Qin Duan as the county guard of Tokugawa County in the northwest, everyone will go to the court early tomorrow morning to recommend this Qin Duan as the county guard of Tokugawa County."

Shoufu Ye Xianggao saw that everyone had no opinion on this mention, so he opened his mouth and said, Ye Xianggao didn't want to let the Donglin Party go to the northwest to be officials anymore, they all went and didn't return, and they died in a foreign land, who could bear it.

"Okay, everyone, remember, don't talk about this matter to the outside world, so as not to let the eunuchs be prepared, and if they strike first, we will be in trouble." Second assistant Nalan Mingzhu said.

Just when the Donglin Party was studying how to push Qin Du into the fire pit in the northwest, our protagonist Qin Du was sleeping with his beloved maid Magnolia and Little Cherry in his arms? Little did he know that danger was coming him.

……

On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, on the Taihe Palace.

This is the last early dynasty in the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, after today, the officials of the Great Qin Empire will have a holiday for the New Year, and the officials of the Great Qin Empire can take a fifteen-day holiday for the New Year, of course, the holidays of officials of different levels in the Great Qin Empire are different.

If you are a local official, you can "seal" on the 29th day of the lunar month every year, stop official business, and go home for the holidays, as long as you rush back to the yamen on the 14th day of the first month of the second year to "open the seal" and work for office.

Of course, the local chief executive is strictly forbidden to leave the yamen and return to his hometown during the Spring Festival. This rule cut off the possibility of the magistrates celebrating the New Year in their hometowns, and if they wanted to reunite with their families, they had to do so in the yamen.

If you are a member of the capital, you are not allowed to take a vacation or ask for leave on the first day of junior high school. First keep the New Year, and then take a nap, you have to dress neatly in the early morning, brave the wind and snow, wear the stars and the moon, rush to the palace, and open a "big court meeting": hundreds of officials give the emperor New Year's greetings (Chaohe), commonly known as "the right battle".

At the court meeting, diplomats from Liao, Goryeo, Western Xia, Khotan, Hui and other places often came to pay tribute. After the meeting, the emperor rewarded each person with a hat flower, which was inserted on the official hat, and you had to wear it when you held a family banquet, drinking Tusu wine and drinking soup.

In addition to accompanying the emperor to meetings and having fun, he also had to accompany him to eat. On the winter solstice a year ago, the royal family held a banquet. On the first day of the new year, the court meeting should be eaten on the New Year's Day, the scale is large, the ministers are allowed to bring their families, and after the ordinary court meeting, they also arrange food and drink, and the palace "pays", which is called "giving food".

"There is a book to start playing, but there is no book to retreat."

The eunuch read early, today is the New Year, and the emperor also wants to retire from the dynasty as soon as possible to accompany the beauties for the New Year, although it is very early now, but ** is also very lively.

"Playing the emperor, the old minister has a book to play." Ye Xianggao said.

"Elder Ye Ge, do you have something to please?"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned and asked, for the New Year, there must be nothing good about this Shoufu coming out of the book.

"Your Majesty, I received an urgent report from the northwest last night that Liu Yongde, the county guard of Tokugawa County in the northwest, was beaten to death by the rebels in the county guard's mansion." Ye Xianggao said.

"What? How is this possible, a dignified county guard was beaten to death in the mansion by the rebels, what did those guards do? The Emperor of the Apocalypse said in disbelief.

Not to mention the Emperor of the Apocalypse, even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty can't believe it, the northwest is chaotic, and most of the officials sent by the imperial court to the northwest have died unexpectedly, but this kind of thing of being penetrated into the county guard mansion by the chaotic people and killing the county guard is really ridiculous.
