Chapter 80 Governors of the Towns and Counties

The fire was full of fire, rolling into the sky.

On the upper floor of Kaiyang County, the generals stationed in the county saw this and directly deduced that there might be something wrong with Guanhai's camp. The general sent soldiers out of the city to inquire about the news, and after the sentinel returned, he finally confirmed the news that the Guanhai military camp had been burned.

Immediately, the generals defending the city sent people to the palace to report.

Due to the siege of Guanhai, during this time, the palace has always been lit with oil lamps all night, and important officials of Langya State, such as the Minister of State, Changshi, and Lang Zhongling, gathered in the palace every day to discuss matters. After the general defending the city reported the news, the oppressive atmosphere in the palace was swept away, and bursts of cheers came and went.

In the hearts of all the officials, they breathed a sigh of relief.

After the defeat of Qiu and Linyi counties, the hearts of the officials were clouded, and they were worried that Guanhai would break the city.

At this moment, no more worries.

Liu Rong, the king of Langya, got the news, and quickly dressed and got up, and came to the hall to sit down.

Liu Rong's eyes fell on Xun Wei's body, and saw Xun Wei slightly bent on his back, his face was full of tiredness, and the look of exhaustion in his eyes, and said, "These days, the minister of state is worried. With this good news today, the crisis in our Langya country has finally been resolved. This time, it was really thanks to Wang Yan, if he hadn't sent troops from Yangdu County to rescue, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Guan Hai. Prime Minister of State, you are still wise and knowledgeable. ”

Xun Wei said modestly: "The king praises falsely, and the old man is ashamed. After a pause, Xun Wei said again: "At present, we only know that Wang Yan burned down Guan Hai's military camp, and we don't know the rest of the battle situation. It will not be until tomorrow that we can know the final battle situation of Wang Yan. ”

Liu Rong said with a smile: "No matter what, it is certain that we will win this battle." ”

"King, the victory in this battle is all thanks to Wang Yan's rescue. Since Wang Yan defeated Guan Hai, the king should be rewarded. ”

Below, an official spoke.

This person's name is Yang Zhao, and he serves as a lieutenant in Langyaguo. During this period, the position of 'lieutenant' was not a military rank in later generations, but a permanent official position in the county, and its functions and powers were similar to those of the governor of a county, holding the right to enforce law and order and arrest.

As soon as Yang Zhao opened his mouth, all the officials of Langya State, such as the long history, Lang Zhongling, Zhishu, and the confessor, agreed.

It was unanimously agreed that commendations should be given.

On the one hand, Wang Yan is a talent recommended by Xun Wei, and he can use this to make friends with Xun Wei; On the other hand, Wang Yan served as the county commander of Yangdu County, and he could also fight well, with outstanding ability and a bright future, and befriending Wang Yan was also a long-term investment.

Two reasons prompted all officials to agree to give awards.

After hearing this, Liu Rong, the king of Langya, also bowed slightly.

Wang Yan relieved the crisis of Langya Kingdom, and he should indeed give a reward, otherwise the reward and punishment are unknown. But in a hurry, Liu Rong couldn't find the official position of the reward and so on.

"Prime Minister of State, what do you do to give Wang Yan a reward?"

Liu Rong looked at Xun Wei, hoping to get Jianyi.

Xun Wei replied: "Great King, Lao Yu and Wang Yan know each other after all, and it is not suitable to propose the content of the award. After all, Wang Yan was recommended by the old man. This should not be said by the old decay. ”

The frank words made Liu Rong more convinced of Xun Wei, and said: "Doesn't the prime minister hear the truth that the virtuous do not avoid relatives? Wang Yan has outstanding ability, he has achieved meritorious service, and he should be commended. Therefore, it doesn't hurt for the minister to say it, don't have scruples. ”

Xun Wei stroked his beard under his chin and said, "Wang Yan has made outstanding contributions to the crisis in Kaiyang County. The old man thought that Wang Yan could be promoted to enter the Langya Kingdom as an official. ”

"What official position?" Liu Rong asked.

Xun Wei replied: "The county magistrate of Kaiyang County, concurrently serves as the minister of state. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

Kaiyang County, as the seat of Langya State, has better treatment and rights than Yangdu County, once Wang Yan is transferred to Kaiyang County as a county commander, it means that Wang Yan has entered the power core of Langya State.

More importantly, Xun Wei's appointment of Wang Yan as the minister of state is of great significance.

The minister of state is the most powerful official in a country, and Wang Yan served as Xun Wei's assistant, which clearly cultivated Wang Yan as the future minister of state. As a result, many officials who covet the post of state minister will not be able to stand it.

On the one hand, Wang Yan's coming to Kaiyang County to serve involves the government affairs system, which will definitely have an impact on their future promotion; On the other hand, Xun Wei is assisted by Wang Yan, Xun Wei is good at government affairs, Wang Yan is good at commanding troops, and the two are absolutely solid together.

Lang Zhongling didn't want Xun Wei to cultivate a strong minister again, Yan said: "Wang Yan has achieved results and should be rewarded." However, this official does not think that it is appropriate to be promoted to Kaiyang County Order. On the one hand, Wang Yan served in Yangdu County for half a year and did not make any political achievements, which can be described as decent and not surprising; On the other hand, Wang Yan is still too young and needs to be sharpened more. Suddenly promoted to an important member, lest it will be promoted to the seedlings. ”

The ruling book of the royal palace said: "In fact, Wang Yan is good at leading troops to fight, not governing internal affairs. If they are able to serve as the county magistrate of Kaiyang because of the victory in the war, I am afraid that the county commanders of the other counties will no longer work hard to manage internal affairs, but will gather all their forces to train soldiers. In this way, the cart is turned upside down and the people suffer. ”

Lieutenant Yang Zhao stood up and said, "Lang Zhongling's words and Zhishu make sense, but is it too much?" Wang Yan's exploits in this battle are obvious to all, and it is not surprising to reward a county order. ”

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers and doctors of the palace spoke one after another, disagreeing with the reward for Wang Yan.

"Quiet, noisy and noisy!" Liu Rong's eyes swept away, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Liu Rong looked at Xun Wei with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "Prime Minister, the point mentioned in the ruling book is very important. If Wang Yan is promoted after this battle, I am afraid that the county orders of each county will stop production and waste agriculture. The king also felt that something was wrong, and the minister thought about the rest of the reward. ”

Xun Wei did not show anger on his face, but showed a hint of a smile, and said, "King, the old minister also has a JianyΓ¬." From the analysis of the words of your colleagues just now, they all unanimously believe that Wang Yan needs to be trained in handling government affairs. That being the case, no one should question Wang Yan's ability to command troops. ”

Without waiting for the official to speak, Liu Rong, the king of Langya, waved his hand and said: "The ability to lead the troops in combat is unparalleled. ”

In a word, all officials were speechless.

Xun Wei said: "Since the king has said so, the old minister has the courage to build yΓ¬ and appoint Wang Yan as the overseer of Langya State. As the overseer, he commanded the armies of the counties of Langya State. Wang Yan served as the commander of Yangdu County and concurrently served as the overseer of Langya State, on the one hand, he could exercise his ability to govern local internal affairs; On the other hand, in the event of another war, he could always raise the troops of the counties to meet the enemy. At that time, not to mention that the Yellow Turban thief Guan Hai will commit, even if Zhang Yan, a black mountain thief from the north, will not be afraid. ”

This construction made everyone stunned.

Compared with the position of Kaiyang County Commander and Minister of State, the full strength of the overseer is greater.

The transfer of troops in each county means that the county orders of each county can be controlled. In a sense, this position is equivalent to giving Wang Yan a sword of Shangfang, and if the county order of which county is unhappy, he can directly clean it up. However, this right does not involve Kaiyang County, after all, the Overseer is to supervise and promote other counties in Langya's country, and it is impossible to include Kaiyang County as well.

Xun Wei looked at everyone and said, "Could it be that your colleagues still have opinions?" Everyone thought that Wang Yan's ability to lead the troops was outstanding. The current official position, no problem. ”

There was a hint of anger in his words.

The officials of the palace refuted it once before, and this time, no one wanted to offend Xun Wei again. After all, Wang Yan's position as an overseer did not threaten their own interests, and there was no need to be a leading bird.

Seeing this, Xun Wei sneered in his heart.

Tiyì Wang Yan's appointment as the county magistrate and state minister of Kaiyang County was a temptation for him. As for the overseer mentioned later, that was what he really thought.

Liu Rong saw that no one objected, and said: "All the princes approve of it, then when Wang Yan enters the city to meet him, he will give a reward." ”
