In an inn on the border of Tarigandus, two strange guests, a man and a woman, came.

Both of them are dressed in white, the man is in his early twenties, holding a sword and leading a horse, dressed as a standard ranger, at first glance he is still a little handsome, but it is not special.

On the other hand, the woman on the side is a little strange, looking at the age of thirty-five or sixteen, she looks beautiful, but she is wearing an eye-catching pure white monk's robe, the monk's robe is clean and clean, and the most eye-catching thing is the top of her head, which is bare.

The inn located in the town does not have many guests on weekdays, and even if it is a meal at the moment, there are only two or three tables of guests sitting sporadically in the lobby, and the costumes are all locals.

The people present were inevitably curious about these two strangers from a foreign country, and several of them looked at it again and again, obviously wanting to see something from this man and woman.

In the extremely strictly controlled Tarigan Division, the oil and water are far less abundant than in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and even the officials who serve here are difficult to reap any benefits in this land where the people are fierce.

People here do not believe in Buddhism, so there are very few monks who come here, and there are few decent temples in the entire Tari Gandusi, and among these few temples, there is not a single nunnery.

……

The two sat down, and Wang Quanquan didn't look at the strange eyes of the people around him, and said directly to each other:

"Auntie, the vegetarian food here is good, you can try it."

The female monk nodded, acquiescing to the title. She didn't have any ill feelings about this flamboyant boy, after all, that guy was much more out of tune than the young man in front of her.

Taking advantage of the interval between serving, the female monk rarely took the initiative to ask:

"Poor monks from the Western Regions to Donghan, all the way to the junction of two dynasties or even three dynasties, along the way, almost everywhere the people are fierce, there is a bloody fight at every turn, but since the Lanjiang River, it seems that no similar thing has been encountered.

Since they are all borders, why is it so stable here? ”

Wang Quanquan smiled slightly when he heard this, poured a cup of tea for the female master opposite, and explained:

"My aunt doesn't know that the biggest official in the entire Tali Gandu Division is not the state pastor sent by the imperial court, but the general Zhenyuan who has 300,000 troops.

The dynasty has a law, and those who dare to withhold military salaries and grass will be killed, and there will be no forgiveness for killing, this rule may be an ornament elsewhere, but it is a real iron law when it is placed in the tower Gandusi.

In the more than 20 years since the establishment of the Tali Gandu Division, more than 300,000 soldiers have been stationed, and the annual salary alone is a large amount of expenditure.

Therefore, even if the iron law is like a mountain, there are still people who are willing to risk killing their heads to enrich their own pockets. In the first year of the establishment of the Tali Gandu Division alone, Yan Jun, the general of Zhenyuan, personally beheaded more than ten officials, large and small.

After this matter reached the capital, it shocked the entire court, and the officials wrote letters one after another, angrily denouncing Yan Jun for having no king's law, but in the end they were all rejected by his father without exception.

At that time, the father directly gave them eight words: first cut and then play, and the imperial power is licensed. ”

The female monk frowned slightly when she heard this, "But what does this matter have to do with today's stable environment?" ”

Wang Quanquan didn't mind being interrupted by the other party, and continued to explain slowly:

In the following 10 years, more than 50 people were punished on the spot by the Yan army, and there was a heart-wrenching remark in the DPRK and China, saying that the Yan army had killed more officials in the past ten years, even more than the enemy soldiers who had been killed in battle.

Yan Jun, who was thousands of miles away, naturally thought they were farting, and used the confiscated money to repair a post road, and this post road was the reason for the stability of the entire Tali Gandusi.

The post road is wide, as long as there is an accident in the city guards will be the first to arrive, often the two sides just take out the hoe and sickle to fight, the garrison soldiers will arrive on horseback, and then can't help but say, in public each whip,

Over time, no matter how fierce the folk customs were, they had to be reined in, and then there were even anecdotes that someone deliberately went to the mountains to make an appointment in order not to be whipped, but before they got to the place, their anger disappeared first, and finally they made an appointment to go to the city to drink. ”

The female monk nodded when she heard this, and the doubts in her heart finally subsided, and Wang Quanquan turned her head to look out the window at the straight avenue.

Just now, the king has not said anything, and now the Tali Gandu Division has frequent information exchanges, which is like an iron plate, not only Donghan has a headache, but those officials who want to be greedy for ink also have to weigh the weight of their heads.

If there is any place in the whole dynasty that is the cleanest, I am afraid that this is it.

……

Early in the morning, before dawn, the officials had already begun to go to court one after another.

Yu Wen put on his official uniform with the help of his wife, and met the young "aunt" as soon as he went out.

Looking at this young woman who is old enough to be his daughter, Yu Wenneng bowed his head and gave the other party a junior salute has already given enough face, if he still wants him to respectfully call the other party "aunt", then it is better to kill him directly.

The woman had obviously long been accustomed to the cold-faced man's attitude towards herself, and said with a slight smile:

"Sir, let me send you the list."

After that, he took out a piece of rice paper that was still warm from his sleeve and handed it over.

Yu Wen took it with both hands, and there was no other movement, and the woman was not bored when she saw this, turned around, twisted her waist and left.

Yu Wen didn't squint the whole time, until the rice paper in his hand was completely cooled by the autumn wind, then he put it in his sleeve and turned around and walked towards the carriage at the door.

……

On the long white marble steps in the palace, the civil and military officials were automatically divided into two groups, the left and right, and the civil officials were on the right and the military attache was on the left, quietly climbing the steps.

When the sky was just dawning, all the civil and military ministers had already stood in the hall, and Emperor Shun had a gloomy face as always, looking down on the hundred officials.

It was still reported as usual, and several of the officials still pleaded with their previous colleagues without giving up, but they were all ignored without exception.

A few officials who can be regarded as important ministers of one side can't afford to kneel, and what should the rest of them do, they don't kneel or get up, which looks extremely embarrassing.

As Emperor Saint Endi said that day, these people casually pulled out a little bit and cut a little unjustly, and there was no stupid person in the room, how could they not understand this truth? It's just pretending to be confused.

At the end of the court meeting, Yu Wen, the right attendant of the ministry, took the lead in standing up and presented the list in his sleeve and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister has prepared candidates for a hundred attendants and advisors."

Seeing this, Feng Lu, the left waiter, also took a step to the side and said:

"The saint, the minister has also prepared."

"Bring it up." Emperor Shun commanded lightly.

The imperial eunuch presented the list of the two separately, but Emperor Shun did not open it on the spot, but as before, he left the main hall first after leaving the sentence "scattering the dynasty".

The two squires first glanced at each other, then looked away and walked towards the outside of the hall.

……

Emperor Shun walked out of the main hall and walked slowly towards the imperial study, not forgetting to open one of the lists as he walked.

After a cursory glance at the name on it, he couldn't help but pause, and said without the slightest joy or anger in his words:

"This old fox."
