Fu Yan really told a joke.

Said it was a long, long time ago......

There was an emperor who saw that all the concubines in the harem were yellow and thin, with sad faces, listless, and seemed to be sick, so he couldn't help but worry.

Ask them if the concubines are swollen?

The concubines only shook their heads and sighed, unable to say why, which made the emperor even more worried.

So he sent out the imperial list and summoned the world's divine doctors to enter the palace to treat the concubines, and finally a Taoist priest unveiled the imperial list, claiming that he could prepare good medicine to cure the concubines' diseases.

The emperor was overjoyed and immediately summoned him to the palace and let him heal.

Ten days later, the emperor inspected the harem again, and was surprised to find that the concubines were all sick before, all of them were refreshed, full of delicate faces, more charming and moving than before, and the color was outstanding!

Why are the concubines so good?

The concubines said that it was all caused by taking the medicine of the Taoist priest.

When the emperor heard that Long Yan was happy, he immediately rewarded that Taoist priest!

After the Taoist priest left, when the emperor came to the harem one day, he was surprised to find that there were many young men with yellow faces and thin muscles and skinny bones in the palace, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Ask the concubines, who are these?

The concubines replied with a smile, saying that they were all the residue left over from the concubines and other medicines......

"You Fu Wanchun, you don't say good things!" Xiao Chen laughed when he heard this, and the smile condensed on his face with a smile.

Are you saying that I am also a scumbag?

"I didn't say that." Fu Yan smiled, "It's just a joke, boss, you shouldn't think about it." ”

"Why do I always feel that you Wanchun is hiding something from me?" Xiao Chen looked suspicious.

"Did Miss Ouyang promise to help?" Fu Yan looked at him left and right.

"Agreed, hehe, let's be lucky." Xiao Chen was happy again.

"It's your luck, boss, I'll follow suit, otherwise if I do this, I won't be able to do it." Fu Yan said.

Early the next morning, Xiao Chen ordered someone to prepare a car, bring gifts, and go straight to the Jiangdong Palace.

He met Li Wanjiang last night, although he didn't talk about business, but he could be regarded as a messenger, and now he can casually go out to meet people, and it is no problem to meet anyone.

The first person to meet is naturally Li Shi.

"See the emperor?" Li Shi was very happy to see Xiao Chen.

"See you last night." Xiao Chen told Li Shi what happened last night.

"Oh, this isn't the first time it has happened, but the dragon veins of our Great Zhou are not so easy to be broken." Li Shi behaved very indifferently.

Xiao Chen wanted to say that if it weren't for Miss Ouyang and a few of our brothers who happened to be present last night, I am afraid that your family's dragon veins would be broken by those bald donkeys!

But what came out was, "The emperor is blessed with all the heavens, and the country lasts for thousands of years, so naturally it is not something that can be broken by those small children." ”

"Hehe, I know that you kid has merit, but you should invite the emperor to this merit, it's useless to tell me, I can't reward you." Li Shi said with a smile.

"Look at what the prince said, even if the minister has not made meritorious contributions, he has come back so far away, you can't reward nothing, right?" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"It's good if you come back." Li Shidao, "Do you know that many people in the court think that you will not come back. ”

"I know, I think the emperor just listened to the slander of those villains, that's why he was so cold to me." Xiao Chen was blunt.

"Don't say these boring words, what should I do to you, the emperor knows in his heart, you have repeatedly made great contributions, saved the emperor's life, and supported the imperial tomb last night, hehe, this time your kid is really hard to appreciate! But as you said, you have come back so far, why should this king reward you, bring it,"

Li Shi said and stretched out his hand to Xiao Chen.

"Lord, don't you want to reward me?" Xiao Chen was stunned, why did he still reach out to me to ask for a reward?

"Hmph, your kid came to me early in the morning, he must have known the news that the emperor asked me to take over the ministry, right?" Li Shidao.

"Ah, is there such a thing?" Xiao Chen was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down to congratulate, "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince!" Hehe, Lord Wang, you are in charge of the Ministry of Officials, that's really good! ”

"So you really don't know?" Li Shi saw Xiao Chen's surprise look, but it didn't seem like he was pretending.

Because Xiao Chen really doesn't know.

But he knew what Li Shi asked him for, and it was naturally the list of appointed officials of various yamen in Yanyun County.

After this war, almost all the administrative institutions of Yanyun County were paralyzed, so Xiao Chen, as the governor, the first thing he did after quelling the war was to rebuild the administrative institutions.

Although he is the governor, he does not have the power to appoint and dismiss officials, even if he dismisses a magistrate and serves as a chief bookkeeper, he must submit to the ministry for approval.

The regulation is such a regulation, but in fact, it is just a procedure.

Generally speaking, as long as it is the appointment and dismissal of the governor, the court and the ministry will never reject it.

But Xiao Chen's appointment list is extraordinary.

He wants to break the rules and use talents in an eclectic way.

For example, Wen Chengxu is just a showman, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to be the chief bookkeeper, but Xiao Chen wants to directly appoint him as the governor of Yanbei Prefecture.

Zhizhou is generally the title of sixth grade or from the fifth grade, but because Wen Chengxu is also in charge of the trade market, Xiao Chen plans to directly add him the fourth rank, so that he can do things conveniently and smoothly in the future, at least he will not be passive in dealing with the governors of other states.

But there is no precedent for this.

There is also Liu Congshu, he is a Zhizhou who opened the door and surrendered, and he should have been blacklisted by the Criminal Department, and he should be beheaded according to the law.

However, Xiao Chen wanted to give him another rank on the basis of retaining his original position, even if it was a grade.

These people are Xiao Chen's right-hand men, you can't let them always be acting officials, right?

Without a formal letter of appointment from the imperial court, the big guys are always unreliable in their hearts......

In fact, relatively speaking, it is relatively easy for Zhuge Xiaosheng, Wei Yuntian, Lin Yue and others to appoint, because the reward for military merit can be exceptional.

For example, in the first battle commanded by Zhuge Xiaosheng, he wiped out 3,000 Xian Xiao cavalry, how much credit is this? Even if he is directly promoted to the chief soldier, it is not too much.

But what Xiao Chen needs now is an establishment, because with his authority as a governor, he can only have 10,000 soldiers and horses, but now he has more than 50,000 people in total.

Of course, if Li Wanjiang does not win his title of general of the expedition to the north, and if he takes back the marshal seal, then he will have no problem even if he expands his army by 100,000.

The problem is that it is impossible for Li Wanjiang not to take back his military power.

Because he was appointed as a general, a marshal, and on a temporary basis.

In short, this lawsuit with Li Wanjiang is not easy to fight.

The key is that Hades is aggressive, and the little devil is difficult!

Li Wanjiang didn't need to express his position directly, as long as he hinted slightly, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War could give a thousand reasons to reject all of Xiao Chen's applications.

It's also very disturbing.
