Emperor Yan immediately replied to the secret decree and wrote: "Zhaoyuan is very comforted to do errands with his heart, and the court has you, the minister of the humerus, so that I can sit back and relax." The purpose of Zhaoyuan's trip is to enrich the treasury finances, not to hold all the local officials accountable, and when you find evidence, you must think of a good prescription, which not only allows the imperial court to get money and food, but also does not embarrass the local officials, so as to be the blessing of the society. I know that this matter is difficult to do, and I grant you a period of one year, and you must complete this matter, otherwise the money and food will not continue, and the rebellion of the three kings will be difficult to quell. ”

Within a few days, Emperor Yan's secret decree was in the hands of Sun Zhaoyuan.

Sun Zhaoyuan read the secret decree back and forth several times, and sighed: "The saint is really a generation of heroes, and the relationship between the officials of Yunxi Prefecture is complicated, and it affects the whole body. The thoughts of the Holy One are the most appropriate way to deal with them today. It's just that I'm suffering, so I have to think about it, this way of solving chess. ”

In the past few days, Sun Zhaoyuan has been flipping through the official reports day by day, carefully checking the reports of various states and governments within ten years. If you want to sort out the shortcomings left on paper in Yunxi Prefecture, think of some justifiable methods, and rectify them first, so that you will not arouse too strong resistance.

In the past ten years, all piled up in the house, placed a small half of the room, Sun Zhaoyuan went to the public office during the day, and read at night, and savored these past affairs, although he was getting thinner and thinner, but he also found a lot of useful evidence.

Sun Zhaoyuan reported the important evidence to the official document, sorted it out, and thought about the layout.

Sun Zhaoyuan repeatedly deduced, and it was expected that there were two matters in the past recitals, one positive and one negative, which could help him retain two of the six seats in the state capital, and Yao Yungui would definitely not object. Just make some arrangements, and everything is in order.

Sun Zhaoyuan wrote a letter to Jin Deha, writing: "The teacher is above, please accept the students to bow to the north." The student came to Yunxi Prefecture to verify the political affairs of the Ziyuan Mansion, but unexpectedly the prefect of the Ziyuan Mansion was also a protégé of the teacher, and the student talked about government affairs with him. Because the appointment and dismissal of Yunxi Prefecture requires the approval of the imperial court, the students dare to mention this matter to the teacher first, I don't know what the teacher thinks? ”

Jin Deha read Sun Zhaoyuan's letter, and wanted to mention Tan Jiaxing as a member of a state, he Jin Deha was more powerful, so he naturally agreed, and replied: "I received Zhaoyuan's letter today, I am very relieved, when you went to Yunxi Prefecture to take up your post, I wanted to inform Tan Jiaxing of the situation, but after thinking about it, it was inevitable that you would be a little forced to take care of him, so I didn't mention him." Since you believe that this person is worthy of the great responsibility, you can recommend it to the court, and I will also guarantee it to the court. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan received the reply, knowing that there was Jin Deha in the imperial court, even if Yao Yungui wanted to ask Satulu to turn it over, it would be a difficult matter. Moreover, Sun Zhaoyuan wants to mention Tan Jiaxing as a scholar and politician, which can not only help him gain more power in the state capital, but also make Jindeha happy, and if there is something in the future, he will stand on his side more.

Sun Zhaoyuan made all the arrangements, so he summoned Yao Yungui, the political envoy of Yunxi Prefecture, Jiang Chao, the picket envoy, Jiang Sheng, the criminal governor, and Wang Hong, the shengxue envoy, saying that they had important matters to discuss.

After a few people sat in the state government hall, Sun Zhaoyuan said: "This official summoned all the adults to come to discuss this time, because I heard someone tell the official that there are some old things in the state capital, which may be a little biased, and I think of ways to correct them." ”

When the rest of the people heard this, their hearts were beating drums, and the old things, even if they were a little biased, why should they be corrected at this time? Several people looked at each other, not knowing the details. Jiang Chao said: "But listen to Lord Sun's orders." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "The first thing is related to Wang Hong, the envoy of the Holy Learning. ”

When Wang Hong heard this, he exclaimed: "It has something to do with the lower officials? Dare to ask Master Sun, is it and the relationship? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan smiled and said, "Don't panic, Lord Wang, this matter is a good thing." ”

Wang Hong let go of his surprise and said suspiciously: "Good thing? ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Lord Wang can remember that last year, the Ministry of Rites was supposed to make up for the vacancy of a waiter, Lord Saturu originally reported to the imperial court to let Lord Wang fill the vacancy, but he didn't want to, just in the rainy season, flash floods broke out in various places, and the files of Lord Wang and the comments of the chief officials of the state government sent to the imperial court were delayed, but I didn't want to, it was this short period of time, so that things changed, Lord Jindeha asked the Ministry of Officials to choose another official in the capital to be the waiter of the Ministry of Rites on the grounds that he had not received the official file of Yunxi Prefecture when it was due. ”

Wang Hong said: "This is the case. At that time, Lord Saturu had good intentions and cultivated the lower officials, but he didn't want to follow the sky, and he thought that the fate of the lower officials was shallow and he was not worthy of being an official in the imperial court. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "This is a pity. When the official heard about this, he felt that it was a pity, and he happened to hear that the officials who came to Beijing had no intention of talking about it, and the Ministry of Rites recently lacked a waiter, and the official's intention was to promote you to the position of this waiter. ”

When Wang Hong heard this, he looked happy, but he couldn't believe it, and said: "Lord Sun is not joking with me, how can this matter be done without the approval of the cabinet members?" ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Lord Wang, you are a member of a state, how dare this official make fun of you, it is nothing more than that I have written to Lord Jindehajin to mention this matter, Jindeha is humane, last time you should have been the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but the file was sent one step late, so that other officials were replaced, and this time there was a shortage of a waiter, so Wang Hong was asked to serve to make up for it." If Lord Jindeha is prohibited, this matter is expected by the official, and if there is no accident, it should be nine times out of ten. ”

Wang Hong smiled and said, "If this is the case, I will thank Master Sun first." ”

The rest of the officials were also happy and bowed their hands to the king to say hello.

Sun Zhaoyuan took the opportunity to continue at this time: "This second thing is related to the deputy general Long Jin. ”

Yao Yungui thought it was another good thing, and hurriedly looked forward to it, and asked: "I heard a report from someone that Longjin was a brigadier general before, and when he was promoted to deputy general, although this matter could be decided by the state government itself, it was not reported to the Ministry of Officials in accordance with the laws of the imperial court. The Ministry of Officials has a lot of opinions on this matter, and Lu Buyun, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, even wrote to say that this matter was too underestimated. Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do about this? ”

These people looked at each other again, this matter has been two years, it was originally when they were in Shenglongjin, and their subordinates were careless and forgot to send a document to the ministry, so they left shortcomings.

Yao Yungui said: "When this matter was discovered at that time, it was already a year after Longjin took office, and the officials sent a letter to check the list of officials, and only then did they discover such a major omission. The lower official had already written an apology for the matter and sent it to the ministry, but he didn't want to, Lord Shangshu was still remembering the matter. ”
