Hong Shenzheng's heavy coughing woke Xu Liang up.

Xu Liang turned his head to look, only to see Hong Shenzheng and Li Guerrilla standing by the door with tangled faces, Xu Liang hurriedly let go of the iron head, and complained softly: "Lord Hong is here, why don't you report it in advance?" ”

Tietou was very aggrieved, "Young master, I called Mo to fight, Mo to fight." ”

Xu Liang snorted: "Go back to you to settle accounts!" Then Xu Liang patted his hands on the robe, straightened out the lines, piled up a sincere smile on his face, and walked towards Hong to participate in politics.

"Oh, Lord Hong, General Li, rare guest! Hurry in, please come in, please come in. ”

Li Guerrilla arched his hand and said, "I've seen Lord Xu." ”

Xu Liang waved his hand politely, "It's all my own brothers, don't be so polite." ”

Saying that, Xu Liang led Hong to participate in politics, and Li Guerrilla walked to the living room.

Hong Senzheng looked at the butler Tietou who was following behind him with his head drooping, and chuckled: "Guozhong, what are you doing?" ”

Do what? Hit someone! Xu Liang said embarrassedly: "The iron butler has itchy skin recently, so I will loosen his muscles and bones." ”

“……”

When they arrived in the living room, they each sat down, the maids in the house served tea, and the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Xu Liang asked: "Lord Hong, General Li, you came together, what is the matter?" ”

Hong Shenzheng groaned and said: "Guozhong, since the Liang army gave up Hutou Pass and returned to Pingliang, the thieves Zhu Zijian, Gao Yingxiang, Wang Daliang, Wang Zuogui and other troops took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and in the past half a month, they have captured Xixiang and Hanyin one after another. Ziyang and other prefectures and counties, Jinzhou and Xunyang are in danger. The thieves are strong. There are more than 100,000 people, and the Shaanxi commander has Chen Bing Zhen'an. Prevent the thieves from entering Xi'an Mansion in the east. However, it's just a passive defense, ahem, that ...... Master Wu ordered the official and General Li to come and urge the Liang army to go out to the battle, I don't know how you are preparing Guozhong? ”

It turned out that the rebel army of Hanzhong Province took advantage of the situation to counterattack! Xu Liang said secretly, it seems that this Zhu Zijian also has some ability, and he also knows how to lead the army to counterattack and expand the territory! I just don't know if this is Zhu Zijian's strategy or the meaning of the Smelling Fragrance Sect Master hidden behind it. Xu Liang said slowly: "Lord Hong, this official wants to correct a statement. Hutou Pass was not given up by the Liang army, but it was actually the Liang army that fought for days and days, the soldiers were tired and unable to hold on, and the supply of grain and grass was not good, so they were forced to withdraw to Pingliang Mansion to rest. Moreover, it is not a simple matter for a large army to go on an expedition, because the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and it will take a lot of time to prepare and mobilize before the battle. Moreover, now Pingliang Mansion is a critical time for officials to inspect, and the results of the inspection have not come out, so I am worried that after the main force of the Liang army is transferred, the situation in Pingliang will be unstable. ”

For things from the past. Whether Liang Jun took the initiative to give up Hutou Pass or was forced to evacuate, Hong participated in politics and did not want to turn over old accounts. He said: "Guozhong, Hanzhong Mansion is extremely nervous. War is changing rapidly, and a delay of one day may affect the overall situation! About the inspection of officials in Pingliang Province. Guozhong, you can hand it over to Lu Tongzhi and Huang Tuiguan, don't worry. The results of the prefect's yamen's inspection will not be objected to by the Shaanxi political envoys and the trilateral governor's office. ”

Xu Liang's eyes lit up, and he said: "Then I think about it, the preparations for the Liang army's expedition are estimated to be about the same in another seven or eight days." ”

Hong Senzheng and Li Guerrilla glanced at each other, and said in their hearts, if you delay for another seven or eight days, the rebel army will already capture the entire territory of Hanzhong Mansion! Hong Shenzheng said anxiously: "Guozhong, the war is urgent, as long as the Liang army goes out, this official and the governor of Wu will immediately protect Guozhong as the prefect of Pingliang!" ”

"Aha?" Xu Liang said in surprise: "Is this true? ”

"This official guarantees with this black veil on his head!" Hong Shenzheng was also forced to be anxious, knowing that Xu Liang was a thief and a thief, and he didn't scatter an eagle if he didn't see a rabbit, so he said sharply.

"Lord Xu," Li Guerrilla also said, "When the Liang army set out on the expedition, the last general and several generals in Shaanxi jointly signed a joint letter to the court to protect you. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and he bowed his hands to Hong to participate in politics and Li Guerrilla again and again, "Lord Hong and General Li take care of Xu so much, I don't know what to say!" I calculated carefully, in fact, the preparations for the Liang army to go out are basically prepared, at most three days, this official will personally lead the army, and the troops will be sent to Hanzhong! The two of them are waiting for the good news of the official's triumph. ”

"Then please hurry up and send troops as soon as possible!" Hong Senzheng and Li Guerrilla were polite and authentic.

"Haha, definitely, definitely, this official is a Pingliang Tongzhi, and he eats the king's Lu, so he should be worried about the king!" Xu Liang laughed and said in a high-sounding manner.

Hong Shenzheng and Li Guerrilla laughed together, but they were secretly scolding in their hearts: Fang just said that it would take seven or eight days, and the effort of this meeting will be reduced to three days! Still eat the king's lu, worry about the king? What about liars!

Politely sent Hong Senzheng and Li Guerrilla away, and Xu Liang went to the prefect's yamen.

In the side hall of the prefect's yamen, Pingliang sat with Lu Yifa, the governor of the government, and Huang Daozhou, the official of the promotion, with several officials to review the inspection files in their hands.

Xu Liang walked into the side hall with his hands behind his back, and the officials hurriedly got up to salute. Xu Liang greeted him with a friendly smile, asked the others to continue their work, and called Lu Tongzhi and Huang Tuiguan to the signing room.

Xu Liang asked directly: "Where has the investigation progressed?" ”

Lu Tongzhi arched his hand and said: "The officials of Pingliang, Jingzhou and Zhenyuan have completed the inspection, and other prefectures and counties have not yet carried out. ”

Xu Liang frowned and said, "Why is the progress so slow?" ”

Lu Tongzhi smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, this official inspection is the most cautious and careful, and it is related to the promotion and retention of every official. Even if it is a small county history with no grade and no rank, it is necessary to investigate his integrity, government affairs, talents, age and other four aspects, involving a wide range of evidence, and there is a lot of evidence required. ”

Huang Tuiguan also agreed: "Yes, my lord." Although it is a fair and impartial investigation, it is also necessary to take into account all aspects, not only to punish corrupt officials, but also to facilitate the work of all prefectures and counties in the future. ”

Xu Liang nodded slowly and asked, "What are the results of Shi Junsheng's investigation in the original county of the town?" ”

Lu Tongzhi listened, found the file of Shi Junsheng, the magistrate of Zhenyuan County, checked it, and said: "Since Shi Zhixian arrived as the magistrate of Zhenyuan, although there are no special political achievements, Zhenyuan County has good public order, and there have basically been no major unjust, false and wrongful cases in the county. Overall, it was quite qualified, and after discussing with Lord Huang, Xia Guan decided to rate Shi Zhi County as middle and upper-class. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he immediately sank his face, and said coldly to Lu Tongzhi, Huang Tuiguan said coldly: "The magistrate of a county is the chief official of the county, regardless of ethics, government affairs, talents, and age, I think whether the magistrate of a county is qualified or not, the first thing to see is whether the magistrate can understand the government affairs intentions of the higher-level officials, always be consistent with the government affairs goals of the higher-level officials, and strictly and effectively implement the orders of the superiors!" ”

Lu Tongzhi and Huang Daozhou looked at Xu Liang in amazement, the content of the items inspected by officials has always been stipulated, and things that exceed the scope of the prescribed inspection are generally not investigated. Xu Liang moved out of his theory, obviously suspicious of targeting certain officials.

Xu Liang raised his voice and said: "The government decree is not working, and it has always been a malaise of the local government. The main reason for the failure of government decrees lies with the chief officials of various states and counties. At present, all the prefectures and counties under the rule of Pingliang Province are demanding the collection of wartime tax silver to supplement military supplies. Other states and counties can actively complete it, only this Zhenyuan County and Chongxin County are passive and slacking off, and the wartime tax money collected is less than half of that of other states and counties! ”

Xu Liang banged on the table heavily and said in a deep voice: "Other officials, I can ignore how to evaluate me, I don't care who you want to protect in private, and I don't care who you want to rectify, but Shi Junsheng, the county governor of Zhenyuan, and Qin Feng, the county of Chongxin, these two people must be won!" ”

What international jokes? The main reason why Xu Liang wanted to do everything possible to conduct an investigation was to take down Shi Junsheng and Qin Feng, the two magistrates who were not on the right path with him. Lu Tongzhi actually rated Shi Junsheng of Zhenyuan Zhixian as a middle and upper class, so when it was Qin Feng's turn to be in Chongxin Zhi County, he was not allowed to be rated as a top class?

Lu Tongzhi and Huang Tuiguan looked at each other, and Lu Tongzhi hesitated and said, "My lord, there is no old precedent to inspect officials with such standards?" Besides, even if you want to depose Shi Junsheng and Qin Feng, you have to have evidence that you can get your hands on? Judging from the information grasped by the lower officials, it seems that Shi Zhixian is not at fault for Yan zhòng......"

Xu Liang sneered and said, "What does it mean that there is no fault of Yanzhòng?" Corruption is a fault, and petty theft is also a fault! A while ago, Niu Catcher went to inspect the states and counties, and he should have some evidence in his hand, so you guys should come over! ”

This is the black material of Shi Zhixian and Qin Zhixian! Lu Tongzhi and Huang Tuiguan reluctantly surrendered their hands and said yes. (To be continued......)
