Qingji stayed in Linzi for three days.

During this period, Qingji put Bao Xi, the county guard of Bohai County, into prison and promoted Yan Hong to become the new county guard.

Because Bao Xi was corrupt and perverted the law during his tenure of office, he formed a party for personal gain, and there were many officials and businessmen involved in the law.

In view of this, Qingji sent a message back to Jinling, asking Prince Heng, Wen Chong and others to select and send capable officials to Bohai County as soon as possible to take office, and immediately let Yan Hong vigorously rectify the governance of officials in the county, so as to make Bohai County politically and relicably prosperous and clear.

Yan Hong also lived up to his high expectations, and after collecting conclusive evidence, he arrested more than 200 officials and more than 300 businessmen in Linzi City within one day.

However, there are far more people involved in eucalyptus, and Yan Hong has a long way to go.

All corrupt officials were either beheaded or sent to border countries.

The same is true for profiteers.

As for their family property, it will be confiscated.

After solving the problem of the rule of officials on the side of Bohai County, Qingji's patrol team went all the way north, walked a section of the official road, changed into a big boat, and took the Grand Canal to the boundary of Jixian County.

The North-South Grand Canal of Dawu stretches for thousands of miles, starting from the Qiantang River in the south, reaching Jixian County in the north, reaching Xianyang in the west, and facing the sea in the east.

The Grand Canal, like the official roads extending in all directions, facilitates the travel of Chinese people and is widely used in military, commercial, people's livelihood and other aspects.

Now it is very convenient to go out on patrol.

This time out on patrol, Qingji is not only patrolling in Dawu itself, but also inspecting the vassal kingdoms.

……

The capital of Liao, Gaoping.

At this time, as the son of Liao, Wu Zhang's eldest son, Wu Di, was welcoming the return of the triumphant division.

Wu Di is still a childish teenager, but he has the power to supervise the regent of the country.

However, a stinky child is destined to be difficult to convince the public.

Two years ago, Wu Zhang, the king of Liao, was ordered to lead his army to the west, but he has not yet returned to his vassal kingdom and is still stationing troops in the west, so Wu Di had to provoke the regent of the Great Liang Prison State.

Although it has been more than ten years since the establishment of the Liao State, the country is still unstable.

Wu Zhang established the country by force and built the Liao State into a military power, but he neglected to govern it, so that with his departure, the hearts of the people in the country fluctuated.

Some Hu tribes under the rule of the Liao State sometimes broke out in rebellion from time to time, which made Wu Di very annoyed.

What's even worse is that the Hu people such as Donghu, Sushen, Zhan, and Yueshi often invade the Liao State, and the previous Wu Di was difficult to stop, because some generals were unruly, and he couldn't command those tribes.

In this case, Wu Hong, the king of Ning, was ordered to lead his troops into the Liao State, helped Wu Di suppress the rebellion in the country, and also repelled the invasion of the Hu people one after another.

Wu Di is also very competitive, he was originally empty of power, but through a series of iron-blooded means, he finally took over the power at a young age and established his prestige.

However, Wu Di always had doubts about Wu Hong.

This time, Wu Hong led the armies of Liao and Ning to quell the rebellion of Su Shen for the Liao State, opened up thousands of miles, captured more than 50,000 men, women, and children of Su Shen, and returned triumphantly.

This made Wu Hong's prestige in the Liao State even more unmatched.

Wu Di was very worried that Wu Hong would take the opportunity to usurp the Liao State.

At this time, Wu Di led the civil and military forces of the Liao State, as well as tens of thousands of Li Shu of Gaoping City, and was at the gate of the city to welcome Wu Hong, who had returned triumphantly.

"King Ning!"

"Shizi."

"King Ning has worked very hard to expand the territory of my Great Liao. The nephew has already set up a banquet in the palace, please King Ning must appreciate the light. ”

"No need."

Wu Hong looked tired, but he still looked at Wu Di with a smile and said: "The widow has been out to fight for more than half a year, but fortunately, he has fulfilled his mission and finally completely swept away the rebellion of Su Shen for the Liao State. Son, you can report to the court and your imperial grandfather. ”

Hearing this, Wu Di solemnly bowed to Wu Hong and said, "King Ning...... No, uncle, please bow down to your nephew! ”

Seeing this, Wu Hong hurriedly helped Wu Di up, and then got into the same carriage with Wu Di.

For such Wu Hong, Wu Di's heart is actually very complicated.

When Wu Di was isolated and almost desperate, it was Wu Hong who led his troops into the Liao State and helped him stabilize the situation, eradicate the rebellion, and destroy those rebellious ministers and thieves with ill intentions.

It was also Wu Hong who helped him sweep away the Hu people who invaded the Liao State such as Su Shen, Donghu, and Yueshi.

Wu Hong treats Wu Di like a mountain.

However, Wu Di does feel that Wu Hong is a great threat to himself and to the Liao State.

In case Wu Hong wants to usurp the country and annex Liao, can Wu Di stop it?

Can't stop it!

Wu Hong also seemed to have guessed Wu Di's inner thoughts, so he took out the tiger talisman from his arms and handed it to Wu Di.

"Uncle, what are you?"

"This is the talisman of your Liao country. In the past two years, Liao's domestic and foreign troubles have continued, and the widow has solved them for you one by one, and this talisman should also be returned to its original owner. ”

Wu Hong said slowly: "Shizi, the widow knows that there are many people in this country who speak ill of the widow and maliciously slander the widow by your side. ”

"Of course, the widow has a clear conscience. The reason why the widow sent troops and went to the Liao State was because of the order of His Majesty the First Emperor, that is, your imperial grandfather. ”

"For the Liao State, the widow has no covetous heart."

"Uncle ......"

Wu Hong's calm words made Wu Di very ashamed for a while, and returned the tiger talisman again, saying, "Uncle, in fact, my nephew believes in you." ”

"My nephew is still young, embarrassed by the big responsibility, or please ask the uncle to always be by your side for advice, otherwise the Liao country will be lost, how can I, Wu Di, explain to my father who is stationed in the west?"

"Uncle, how do you explain to the imperial grandfather?"

"This tiger talisman, it's better for you to take it first, uncle."

Wu Hong shook his head, put the tiger talisman in Wu Di's hand again, and said earnestly: "Shizi, you and I are uncles and nephews, why be polite?" ”

"Shizi, you have established your prestige in the court, as long as you don't do big things wrong and maintain the normal operation of the Liao Kingdom, it is enough."

"The threat of the four kingdoms of Fanbang, as well as the rebellion in the country, the widow has cleared it for you. The widow is the king of Ning, and the country is sealed in Ning, and he will go back after all. ”

"The widow has written to His Majesty, and you will be the regent of the country by yourself, and you will have the power alone, and the widow will return to Ningguo in a few days."

"The emperor is on a northern tour, maybe he will go to Pyongyang in the future, and the widow will go to pick him up."

"I ......"

Wu Di was silent.

Is Wu Hong really not tempted at all?

You must know that this tiger talisman in Wu Di's hand can mobilize 100,000 soldiers of the Liao State!

The soldiers of the Liao State can be compared with the border army of Dawu.

It can be called the division of tigers and wolves.

With such a strong army in hand, coupled with Wu Hong's original prestige, it is not impossible to merge Ning and Liao, directly proclaim himself emperor, and establish an empire that fights against the Great Wu.
