This news was still known to Huai'an Hou from the Dong brothers.

The Dong brothers, as the Jinyi guards of Huai'an Mansion, are naturally more familiar with Huai'an Hou.

After the Dong brothers were summoned by the Son of Heaven to meet the imperial order, they immediately told Huai'an Hou.

Knowing the arrival of the Son of Heaven, Huai'an Hou was a hundred excited.

The lady who was making a female celebrity was shocked, "Master, is Your Majesty really here?" ”

"Not really." Huai'an Mansion said with a smile, "Your Majesty has arrived in Qiu County, I have decided to let the soldiers take the opportunity to sweep away the surrounding bandits and bandits, don't alarm Your Majesty, and send someone to clean up the city to welcome the Holy Driver..."

"Okay."

"It's a must." Madame continued, "Is there anything else we need to prepare?" ”

"The rest of the things..."Huai'an Hou thought about it, and then said loudly, "Although the Son of Heaven is not very old, but the harem is pitiful, and we were not selected for the draft last time, and those singers in our house are not bad, it is better to let them clean up and dance for the Son of Heaven when the time comes, in case the son of heaven takes a fancy to whoever will also be of great benefit to us..."

"Yes, the concubine will be arranged."

"Okay, let's go our separate ways, and we must arrange everything before the Son of Heaven comes."

"Okay~"

“......”

Huai'an Hou and his wife quickly settled down and prepared to welcome Guo Tianyi's arrival.

The other side.

After Guo Tianyi finished dealing with the affairs of Qiu County, he met with Tao Derun, the county magistrate who was already 60 years old.

Guo Tianyi sat in the public court, looked at the old and frail Tao Derun and said, "Tao Derun, do you know what is wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Tao Derun's eyes moistened and said, "Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong, and the minister knows that he is wrong..."

Speaking of which, Tao Derun is also an unlucky guy.

He can be a county magistrate for a lifetime, and he also has something to do with Guo Tianyi.

Tao Derun was an official for twenty, and he entered the office with filial piety and honesty, and came to Qiu County to serve as a county commander at the beginning of his career.

He was also enthusiastic.

Later, in the thirty-third year of Yuande, I finally looked forward to promotion.

However, Zuo Shilang, the official who submitted his promotion, was investigated by Guo Tianyi, the king of Han, because of the case of fornicating with the princes Huaiguogong.

The left waiter of the Ministry of Officials originally belonged to the big man of the Huaiguo Gong lineage.

These high-ranking officials were dealt with, and many of the government affairs they had at hand were dismissed.

This is Tao Derun's biggest promotion opportunity, but it is inexplicable.

Later, Guo Tianyi supervised the country and promulgated the retirement law.

Seeing that he would retire in a few years, and there was no hope of promotion, Tao Derun became a confused county magistrate.

As long as it is not a clear violation of the gale law, he does not talk much about human feelings.

If it had been placed 20 years ago, Tao Derun's trial of Wang Yue's case would definitely have scolded Qian Lao Liu's heart for being too black.

But now he won't.

Because when he retires, he will retire here.

You can't offend all the landlords and gentry, can you?

Moreover, Tao Derun didn't know that the person who came to the county government to make trouble was the Son of Heaven?

Until now, he felt that he was out of luck.

He has never had good luck in his life, and if he knew that the young man in front of him was today, he would never let go of such a great opportunity.

can be promoted, according to the retirement law, pensions are very different.

If nothing else, even for the sake of his old age, Tao Derun has to fight.

It's a pity that he is destined to be an unlucky egg.

Fortunately, the Son of Heaven is magnanimous, and now he is just saying that he knows his mistakes, and Tao Derun knows that there is still room for redemption.

If the Son of Heaven asks the sin directly, then he will be completely finished.

Moreover, it will be late and the festival is not guaranteed.

Guo Tianyi looked at the old tearful Tao Derun and "snorted", and said, "You don't have to feel depressed after being a county official for a lifetime, I know that the folk rumor is that the county official is not as good as the current management, and you have to take care of the affairs of Qiu County, every county official is the foundation of my great dedication, I hope you will know more about the suffering of the people in the future." ”

"Yes, yes, the old minister understands..."

"Listen to Your Majesty's teachings, let the old ministers see the sun like a cloud, and the mouth will suddenly open..."

"Okay, let's not talk about sycophants." Guo Tianyi said lightly, "You are only sixty this year, and next year will be the triennial performance assessment. ”

Guo Tianyi also investigated Tao Derun's past.

Knowing he's an unlucky guy.

That's why the net is open.

Dafeng governs the country with filial piety, and the old man who is eighty years old can see the king without kneeling.

What's more, this Tao Derun has been a county magistrate all his life, and he has no major mistakes, which can be regarded as incorruptible.

In this world, how can there be any absolute clean officials?

That's all unreasonable.

It's like the court, there are upright and honest officials, there are also black-bellied villains full of tricks, and there are some powerful ministers to balance.

In the world, there are more real corrupt officials.

I can't manage it myself.

It can only be found that one knocks out the other.

This is the inferior nature of people, even if it is a scholar with a full stomach, he can't escape a greedy word.

"Yes, yes, the old minister will live up to His Majesty's high expectations..."Tao Derun was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

His Majesty Chrysostom said that as long as he is an official well, do you still need to ask for a promotion after passing the assessment?

Not at all.

This is the first time that Tao Derun has felt that in addition to the majesty of the Son of Heaven, there is also a strong human touch.

In Russia, Guo Tianyi set off with Fan Xiong and a group of guards.

Prepare to go to Huai'an, the capital city.

The purpose of this time is to find Lu Shiyu...

No, it should be going to Lu Shiyu's younger brother, the future famous general Lu Zhang.

On the official road.

Guo Tianyi and others galloped on horseback.

Suddenly, the guards in front came to report, "Your Majesty, it seems that the government soldiers are suppressing bandits in front, and the road is blocked." ”

Since ancient times, there have been many bandits in the mountains and wilderness.

It's the same in both the South and the North.

Especially in the year of great disasters, some people go up to the mountains to become bandits.

In this era, there are no cameras and no advanced communication technology, and these bandits are on this mountain today and on that mountain tomorrow, and it is extremely difficult to exterminate them.

Whether or not officials in many localities can suppress bandits and ensure the peace of the people in their territories is a very big performance evaluation.

Don't look at the poor people are honest people.

Some people like to go off the beaten track and don't do their job.

No matter how good the country's policies are, they can't save some scum who don't want to make progress and want to get something for nothing every day.

These people, at best, will do things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, and at worst, they will become bandits in groups.

"Let's go."

"Let's go over and have a look."

Guo Tianyi glanced at the mountains and fields with flags waving, and came to be interested.

Although the government soldiers are local armed forces, they also have a certain combat effectiveness.

The soldiers under the rule of the Marquis of Huai'an, they have to go and see it themselves.

"Where do the thieves escape!"

Suddenly, a young man's shouting rang out in the mountains.

When Guo Tianyi heard the news, he saw a silver-armored young general, holding a spear, single-handedly chasing more than a dozen bandits.

Moreover, it seems that this young general is only fifteen or sixteen years old.

But its ferocity made Guo Tianyi staggered.

I saw that his gun hit the vital point, and he was skillful in horsemanship.

The bandits who were killed had no way to escape, and they threw away their armor.

"What a silver-armored young general."

"There is the posture of a tiger general!"

Guo Tianyi's eyes lit up and couldn't help but admire.

For a while, Guo Tianyi's love for talent was overflowing.
