Emperor Yan is above the court every day, watching the ministers attack Sun Zhaoyuan, and there is no way to help, because those attacking words are nothing more than trivial things, and they will not hurt Sun Zhaoyuan in the slightest, but because of the situation at this time, the serious court will often become a farce, Sun Zhaoyuan fights the ministers, and the ministers help each other to fight back. Let these old people be sure to help themselves avenge and erase their grievances after their birthdays.

Emperor Yan thought about it for a few days, firstly, although Sun Zhaoyuan had made great contributions and found out Nuyid's misdeeds, but it was also true that he did not like the officials, and secondly, Sun Zhaoyuan's talent was very high, if he had been an official in the center of the imperial court, if he had been cultivating his own power for a long time in the future, he would not be easy to control, so he summoned Sun Zhaoyuan to the palace and said: "Lord Sun, you have found out the traitorous son of the minister for treason, and I should reward you for your kindness, I have been thinking about this matter today, I don't know what you think?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "How dare the minister have any ideas? It is the duty of the minister to be loyal to the saint, and there is no need for a reward, but only to ask for the saint to be eternal and the country to be unified, which is the biggest idea in the minister's heart. ”

Emperor Yan said with a smile: "You are worthy of being the champion appointed by me, and the country is really fortunate to have such a talented person as you, and it is a great blessing for the country." I will reward you well. I originally wanted to promote you to Dali Siqing and preside over Dali Temple, but after thinking about it, Dali Siqing is only a third-grade member, and I think that your merits are enough to directly promote you to the second grade, so I decided to promote you to the governor of Yunxi Prefecture and take charge of a state. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan hurriedly knelt down and said: "The holy grace of the saint, the minister has nothing to repay, but only the liver and brain are smeared on the ground, and then he is dead." "Sun Zhaoyuan can get away from the capital, a place of right and wrong, away from these Beijing officials who are always against him, and go to Yunxi Prefecture as a governor, and no one can control it, which is really the best choice.

Emperor Yan smiled: "Don't worry, I still have two things to tell you, one is that I know that these officials in the imperial court are jealous of your youthful ambition, but in a year or two, it will reach the huge power that others can only obtain after decades of hard work, you go to Yunxi Prefecture, there will definitely be many Beijing officials to participate in you, I can swear to you here, you are a benefactor who helps me stabilize the world, as long as you don't kill people and set fires in the future, rebel against the court, and harm the court, I will definitely not listen to slander and punish you, but you will do bad things and be caught, The evidence is conclusive, and I can't protect you. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan hurriedly kowtowed and thanked: "The saint's favor to Zhaoyuan is really incomprehensible, Zhaoyuan doesn't know how to repay it, only for the saint to take charge of Yunxi Prefecture, can he repay the saint."

Emperor Yan picked Sun Zhaoyuan up and said: "Second, I sent you to Yunxi Prefecture, the main long-cherished wish is that you will change the corruption of officials in Yunxi Prefecture, that Yunxi Prefecture is rich in products, fertile land, there is no shortage of gold and jade, and there is no shortage of grain and grass, but the tax is even less than that of other states. I just want this Yunxi Prefecture to pay more taxes to the imperial court, so as not to let those officials enrich their own pockets, make the court poor, and enrich themselves. I want to let the wealth of Yunxi Prefecture help me win the war with the three kings. I know that the local officials are intertwined, there are thousands of years of tradition, the people are fierce, and the officials are also extremely strong, and there have been things that have bullied foreign officials in the past, and when you get there, you must be careful and complete the errand I have given you, and if the errand is done well, I will reward you well. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan knew that this errand was extremely difficult to do, he was a foreign governor to Nayunxi Prefecture, if he got along well with the local officials, those officials would naturally hold themselves, but if he went to smash other people's ways to make money, he didn't hate me to the bone.

Sun Zhaoyuan said in his heart: "Sun Zhaoyuan, Sun Zhaoyuan, why are you so fateful." But he said: "Holy rest assured, I will do a good job and live up to my mission." ”

Emperor Yan said: "This matter is very important, the war with the Three Kings has reached a stalemate, and the next thing is to last longer than which family's foundation is thicker." The silver inventory of the imperial court has dropped from the highest 20 million taels to the current 3 million taels, and now every year the household department reports, and the whole country has to collect an extra 10 million taels every year to support the war against the three kings, and finally consume the three kings. If there is no extra tax revenue from Yunxi Prefecture, this court is not too stable, so, Sun Zhaoyuan, don't let me down. The safety of the people in the world depends on whether you are effective on errands. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Yunxi Prefecture is a key state, it cares about the place of survival, as long as the Holy God grants me the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot, the ministers will definitely stop the corruption and stubbornness in this state." ”

Emperor Yan said: "Okay! Good! Good! Sun Zhaoyuan, if you have this ambition, I will be your strong backing, and I will order someone to draw up a decree, in addition to giving you the official position of governor, but also to give you the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, except for the power of life and death needs to be reported to the imperial court, you can make decisions first, and then report to me. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Holy Lord, can the minister ask the Holy Lord for personal assistance?" ”

Emperor Yan said: "Don't say a few, it's ten, twenty, hundred, you just ask." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Ma Rushan, a subordinate before the minister, is a brave and resourceful cadre, and this person, the minister thinks that there is some gangsterism, and the folk customs of Yunxi Prefecture are very intimate, if you go to Yunxi Prefecture, you will definitely be able to help the minister." ”

Emperor Yan said: "I will order the Ministry of Officials to send this person to you." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Thank you, Lord Longen, with this person, the minister has many chances of winning." ”

At that moment, he thanked Emperor Yan and returned home. packed up the soft belongings with Yu Yinqiao, chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, escorted by Jin Fei and Jiang Fugui, and drove to Yunxi Prefecture to take office.

Jin Fei and Jiang Fugui are originally from Yunxi Prefecture, and they are happy along the way. The two of them had been bumpy in their early years, until they did the salt trade, and they had some face, but after all, they did not buy and sell in the stream, and they were still looked down upon by many locals. This time he returned to Yunxi Prefecture, and he has already become the descendant of the governor of a state, so he naturally returns to his hometown. When he thought that the old people who usually looked at them with their nostrils were about to change their flattering demeanor, he was also very happy in his heart.

Jin Feilu said: "Good brother, when you arrive in Yunxi Prefecture, you will also give me and Brother Jiang a half-official position, so that the two of me can be majestic, and in front of my father and fellow villagers, I will have a long face, so that I will not waste decades of hard work." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said with a smile: "What's so difficult about this, when I get to the territory of Yunxi Prefecture, when I am familiar with the inside situation, I will naturally give you an official position." The elder brother doesn't need to be reminded of these little things, and the younger brother knows how to do them. ”

Jin Fei and Jiang Fugui were even more happy and overjoyed.
