Chapter 623, Qi Siyuan advised
In the early spring of the fifth year of the Great Shang Jingyuan, the second day of the second month of February, the day when the dragon raised its head in the legend. The deputy envoy of Jiannan Province, the garrison generals from all over the country, the county guards and the county magistrates and other officials gathered in the Anshu County Weiwang Mansion to prepare to discuss matters in the Yin'an Palace. As early as Tang Jiusheng's victorious way to suppress the bandits, he had already sent an order to the chief officials of all counties in Jiannan, and summoned officials from all over the country to the palace on the second day of the second month of February.
On the morning of the second day of the second lunar month, more than 200 officials, large and small, gathered in the Yin'an Hall of the Weiwang Palace. On the left is the civil official headed by Qi Siyuan, the deputy envoy of the Economic Strategy, and on the right is the military attache headed by Jin Chengzhang, the euphorbia. Tang Jiusheng sat behind the public case, wearing a crown of good wings and a white python robe, with a majestic face. After Tang Jiusheng became the king of Wei and came to Jiannan Dao, this was the first time that all the chief officials of Jiannan Dao were convened to discuss the matter.
At this time, the palace is heavily guarded, you must know that the main officials at all levels of Jiannan Province are all in the palace, and the prince himself is also there. How dare the palace not be cautious in such a major matter? Be so cautious that the princess Shui Ruyue, Ximen Yushuang, Du Ruo, and Xin Zhiping, the commander of the guards, all came out to check the garrison of the four gates from time to time, and a team of guards patrolled the palace from time to time.
Tang Jiusheng looked at the officials at all levels with serious expressions under His Royal Highness Yin'an, and said in a deep voice: "This king has exterminated the cattle all over the land, and also exterminated the two largest cottages in Jiannan, Laolongshan Dazhai and Dufeng Mountain Dazhai, Jiannan has been in trouble since then, and whether the common people can live and work in peace and contentment will depend on you in the future! This king knows that many of you were afraid of the power of Niu Mandi in the past, and did not have the courage to suppress bandits, but they had the courage to ask the court for money in the name of suppressing bandits!" Tang Jiusheng looked around at the officials, and many of the officials standing below didn't even dare to come out.
Tang Jiusheng sighed, and said: "In the past, Jiannan Dao was under the governance of Niu Mandi, and the officialdom was not good, this king knows, this can't be all blamed on you, after all, you have to listen to the scriptures and make the yamen." But now Niu Mandi has been punished by the Ming Dynasty, and Jiannan Road is in ruins, and you are all parents and officials in all parts of Jiannan Province, and the common people are looking at you, and you can't let the people of Jiannan down anymore! This king knows that most of you have studied hard for ten years, and you want to glorify your ancestors, glorify the lintel, and seek some benefits for yourself and the people!"
A few of the magistrates at the end of the line couldn't help but whisper, Qi Siyuan saw it, his heart was unhappy, and he coughed lightly, and those magistrates were so frightened that they immediately didn't dare to speak.
Tang Jiusheng suddenly smiled and said: "Now the opportunity has come, as long as you can govern the counties and counties you belong to, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, you will naturally be able to glorify your ancestors and glorify the lintel. The past is not to blame, but this king also has to make an agreement with you in three chapters, and we must not leave the outdated atmosphere of the cattle full of land to the future! In the future, if any people go to the palace to complain about the local officials' greed for ink, and the situation is verified by the palace, the officials will be decided!"
After a morning of lectures and discussions, officials of all sizes clearly knew one thing, that is, this young King Wei was determined to do a good job in Jiannan Dao, and whoever stood in front of him would be cut down. At noon, the Weiwang Mansion prepared a luncheon for the hungry officials, which was neither sumptuous nor shabby, and the hungry officials feasted on it. In the afternoon, Qi Siyuan, the deputy envoy of the economic strategy, invited the officials of all sizes to the yamen of the envoy of the economic strategy, and discussed the matter again, and that night, the officials rested in Anshu County.
At night, when the lamp was in charge, the little steward Yu Wu came to Chang Lexuan's study to see Tang Jiusheng, saying that it was the deputy envoy Qi Siyuan who asked to see the prince, Tang Jiusheng smiled and said: "Okay, please come to Chang Lexuan!" Yu Wu agreed, went out to pass the word, and there was not much time, so he brought Qi Siyuan into Chang Lexuan's study.
Qi Siyuan was dressed in an official uniform, and when he saw Tang Jiusheng, he was about to pay a big salute, Tang Jiusheng hurriedly supported Qi Siyuan, and joked with a smile: "Mr. Zishan, you are now the dignified deputy envoy of Jiannan Dao, from the third grade, in addition to this king in Jiannan Dao, you have the largest official hat, how about it, is it majestic to be a big official?"
Qi Siyuan arched his hand, laughed and said: "Prince, you are hurting me! Without the promotion of the prince, there is a poor Confucian below, the prince has the grace of knowing Qi Siyuan, and Qi Siyuan will never dare to forget the kindness of the prince in his life! The lower officials will definitely assist the prince to guard the Jiannan Road, repay the prince and the court, and live up to the high expectations of the people!"
Tang Jiusheng nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Zishan's words are serious, Mr. Zishan is talented, but he didn't have luck before! Once he gets lucky, he can immediately soar to the sky! By the way, Mr. Zishan is not at home this big night and sleeps with his wife and concubine in his arms, what do you want to see this king?"
Qi Siyuan blushed and said embarrassedly: "The prince said that he was laughing! This afternoon, the lower officials chatted with the county guards and magistrates of Jiannan Province in the Yamen, and I believe that after they go back, they will manage their respective grounds, and the malpractices accumulated in the past when the cattle are full of land will be eliminated one by one. However, Xia Guan thought of one thing, and he was restless in bed, so he didn't even have time to change his official clothes, so he hurried to see the prince, please forgive me!"
Tang Jiusheng smiled and said, "It must be a big deal to make Mr. Zishan so anxious, Mr. Zishan, please speak!" Qi Siyuan stood up and bowed respectfully to Tang Jiusheng, Tang Jiusheng was a little surprised, "Mr. Zishan, what does this mean?"
Qi Siyuan said with a straight face: "Lord! The lower officials are here to advise the prince! If you don't like any of the words, please calm the prince's anger! Since the prince arrived in Jiannan, he led troops to various places to quell the rebellion and suppress bandits, no matter how big or small the cottage, he did everything himself, took the lead, rushed to the front, was not afraid of hard work, and did his best, the lower officials really admired! However, you are the prince, you have never thought that if you have some accident, everything will be over!"
Tang Jiusheng nodded and did not speak. Qi Siyuan said again: "Lord, personal heroism can't go far, and in the end it must fail! Regardless of the county or county, there must be officials in charge in charge, and there are also generals and captains stationed in various places who are responsible, as the prince, you only need to supervise these officials, let them perform their duties, take charge of each place, and be completely responsible for the prince, so why go to fight and kill in person?"
Qi Siyuan said again: "Do you remember that when the Yan Han and Dongzheng countries were fighting for the world, the Yan Han Taizu made good use of the generals, and he rarely led troops to fight, only rewarding those who had merit, and punishing those who did wrong." And Zheng Guo's overlord is extremely brave, he will rush to the front whenever there is a war, and do everything himself, but in the end he loses the world?"
Tang Jiusheng scratched his head and said with a smile: "Mr. Zishan is reasonable! But when this king first arrived in Jiannan, you also know that there are not many capable civil and military generals under his command, and there is a shortage of soldiers. What should this king do if he doesn't take the lead in such a thing as cracking down on bandits? As soon as the king's signboard shines, it is always stronger than the officials in various places, so this king will also do it hard, and we will be able to defeat the cattle all over the land in the end, and that is the result of the favorable time and place and the people who have taken possession, and this king will never dare to be greedy for merit!"
Qi Siyuan nodded, Tang Jiusheng stood up, walked in front of Qi Siyuan, patted Qi Siyuan's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Mr. Zishan, this king doesn't want to do everything himself, I'm tired! Now that Jiannan has been initially stabilized, Jiannan Dao will be completely handed over to you in the future, this king only stares at you Mr. Zishan, and then your Mr. Zishan is responsible for staring at the county officials below, this king knows that your Mr. Zishan's burden is heavy, and your responsibility is heavy." However, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility! The Jiannan Dao of our Great Shang Kingdom depends entirely on you!"
Suddenly, someone outside the study laughed and said: "Old Brother Tang, when will you take your brothers down for a walk? This is a great Jiannan Road, can't our brothers take a walk? As for this side, leave it to Qi Da Jingliu and Congliang and Zichu!" As soon as the words fell, Jiang Fat walked in with a hippie smile outside.
