According to Tang Jiusheng's instructions, the steward Cheng Long brought the people of Jianzhou who came to sue the county guard, and found a place to settle down properly, and Tang Jiusheng asked Cheng Zifei to bring some people to protect their safety.

Tang Jiusheng inquired and checked the people's report materials in detail, he believed that there was definitely a big problem with Jianzhou County Shouye Tengjiao, Tang Jiusheng decided to take Jianzhou County Shouye Tengjiao first to open the knife and rectify the governance of Jiannan after collecting more evidence. Ye Tengjiao is the cousin of Jiannan Dao, who has always been very arrogant in Jiannan Dao, and in the past, if the people wanted to sue him, they could only go to the Yamen of the Jingluo Envoy.

But the cattle are all over the ground is his cousin, and the yamen is just like his house, and all the people who went to sue him were finally cleaned up by him, and some of them were even secretly executed by him. The common people have no place to complain if they have grievances, and the road to control Beijing is far away, and if Niu Mandi can make the Jiannan Road a strategic envoy, how can there be no one in the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China? Therefore, even if they enter Beijing, they will not be able to sue them.

The people of Jianzhou, who were disheartened and chose to fall into the grass, suddenly heard that there was a prince in Jiannan Road, who was the son of the national teacher, and came to the governor of Jiannan Road by order, and got on the horse to manage the army and dismount to manage the people, and the officials at all levels were controlled by him.

Mingyi Hall of Weiwangfu, although it is called the hall, it is actually a small palace, the main hall has public cases, seats and other things, it is the place where Tang Jiusheng handles official business daily, and there are pavilions such as Scholar Pavilion and Tianci Pavilion on both sides, which are used by Qi Siyuan and other palace staff. After Tang Jiusheng recovered his memory, he wanted to have a more in-depth conversation with Qi Siyuan, so after sending away the people who had sued Ye Tengjiao today, the two of them came to the Tianci Pavilion of Mingyi Hall.

The maid Shen Xiaoyu and Mo Xiang were inseparable, standing beside Tang Jiusheng, responsible for serving tea and pouring water. Tang Jiusheng and Qi Siyuan sat down and talked about tea at night, Tang Jiusheng asked with a smile: "Since this king has recovered his memory, I can't wait to chat with Mr. Zishan!" Qi Siyuan, Zishan, Tang Jiusheng is used to calling him unnamed.

Qi Siyuan smiled slightly, "Lord Wang, I am also very happy to hear that you have recovered your memory." I also want to chat with you in the next place! Our palace has a long way to go, and it is the first time I have arrived in the palace, and I will have to rely on the prince to take care of it in the future! I don't love wine, I only love tea, and today I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, replace wine with tea, and toast the prince with a bowl!" The two raised the tea bowl, drank each other's dry, and looked at each other and laughed. Shen Xiaoyu poured tea for the two of them again.

Tang Jiusheng finished laughing, his face became solemn, and he asked softly: "Zishan, I am only curious about why you have refused many expeditions from the imperial court, but you are willing to come to my Weiwang Mansion to be a little master? Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor has given you an official who is not big enough to realize your retribution?" After Tang Jiusheng finished asking, he was obviously relieved, because this was a problem that Tang Jiusheng had always been concerned about, but the two did not have an in-depth exchange on this.

Qi Siyuan shook his head with a smile, "Lord Wang, I can't do as much of an official as the emperor gives me!" The prime minister of this dynasty is actually the Zhongshu Order and the Zhongshu Servant of Zhongshu Province, and now there is no Zhongshu Servant Shot, only Zhongshu Order. Our Chief Yang has always been arbitrary, even if I go to Yong'an, it will be useless, and some words may lead to death. Although I have refused to go out of office all these years, I have been waiting and watching, and finally I chose the prince!"

Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "Zishan, I'm strange again, the prince of our Great Shang Kingdom, there must be at least hundreds of people who have fiefs and those who don't, Pingxi Mountain, Lingnan Wang, and Zhou Wang are all powerful, why did you choose me?"

Qi Siyuan laughed and quipped: "Lord Wang, that's because you are handsome and different!" Shen Xiaoyu and Mo Xiang, who were standing beside Tang Jiusheng, couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh, is this Mr. Qi so direct in slapping sycophants? Qi Siyuan said again: "Okay, don't pat the prince's sycophants, time is pressing, let's get down to business first!"

Tang Jiusheng joked: "Zishan said well! Let's talk about serious things first, and then talk about unserious things later!" Then he sat upright and put on a posture of wanting to listen to him. Shen Xiaoyu next to him shook his head, and secretly said in his heart, our prince is not in shape for a day, and he has become a prince, but he doesn't have what a prince should have at all

Majesty, like when you mix rivers and lakes.

Qi Siyuan said with emotion: "The king of Pingxi is lustful and greedy for money, fierce and cruel, and he is dizzy, and he does not know how to sympathize with the people. As for King Zhou, he actually insulted Princess Pingxi a few days ago, for the sake of a woman, he ignored the great cause of rebellion and did whatever he wanted, if he became the emperor, the world would be in chaos!"

Tang Jiusheng nodded and said, "My brother-in-law, King Pingxi, is ruthless enough and ambitious, but he really can't be the emperor!"

Qi Siyuan saw that he listened very seriously, and said: "Most of the disciples of the Yin family can be crowned kings only because their surname is Yin, not because they are talented. Except for Yin Hai, the king of Qin, there are almost no kings of the Yin clan who can be called virtuous. And the prince, you are the king with a different surname, and you are the son of the national teacher, and the emperor asked you to lead Jiannan Dao, obviously against the king of Pingxi. You have just become a prince, and there is a shortage of all kinds of talents around you, and although I am not talented, I have a slight ambition in my life, so I naturally came to you!"

Tang Jiusheng shook his head, "Zishan, that's all, I'm afraid it's not enough! You really didn't do your homework in the early stage?"

Qi Siyuan laughed and said, "Lord Wang, I really can't hide it from you!" I have a cousin who works as an errand in Dongwei, so I got a lot of information about the prince from him, I know some of the prince's rank in the rivers and lakes, and I also know that the prince is a martial arts master, and I also know that the prince took away our second princess from the hands of the king of Lingnan, and he didn't turn his face on the spot, such a young handsome man walking in the rivers and lakes, there is a father who is a national teacher and the emperor as a backstage, the future is definitely limitless, and more importantly, there is affection and righteousness, what are I waiting for if I don't hurry up?"

Mo Xiang laughed softly beside him: "Lord Wang, according to the slave maid, my Mr. Zishan may still have something on his mind unfinished!" Mo Xiang came from the Tianchang National Teacher's Mansion, so he was arranged to be Tang Jiusheng's personal maid. Tang Jiusheng glanced at Mo Xiang and nodded quietly, with appreciation in his eyes.

Qi Siyuan smiled dumbly, "Yo, I really didn't see it, this Moxiang girl is still a heroine among women, as this Moxiang girl said, she really has other plans in the future!"

Tang Jiusheng smiled and waved his hand, "Zishan, don't you be busy talking, let this king guess first!" Qi Siyuan looked at Tang Jiusheng with interest, made a gesture of invitation, and motioned for Tang Jiusheng to say it.

Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "Your Mr. Zishan has always had the ambition of stabilizing the country, but he has nowhere to show his ability, this king is a mixed bag, although he has been in the Heyue School Palace for six or seven years, but most of the time is in martial arts, poetry and books are naturally to be read, so he was barely admitted to Xiucai and won the move, but he is completely inexperienced in governing political affairs, and you can just make up for this king's biggest weakness!"

Qi Siyuan clapped his hands and smiled: "Although the prince is young, he is really wise! I sincerely admire the prince! I came to join the prince in Xiayuan, and I have this intention in my heart! At that time, I didn't know how the prince would plan to be in the future, so when we first met, I deliberately said a few disrespectful words, and the prince really got up angrily and brushed his sleeves away, Qi Siyuan knew that this trip was the right one! My ability to govern the country and level the world has a place to show!"

After talking for a long time, Tang Jiusheng finally let go of his heart, and the two of them spoke to each other, already understanding each other's aspirations. Tang Jiusheng secretly thought in his heart, arrange a few more things for him later, try to see how good his skills and ability are in governance, if it is feasible, this Qi Siyuan is the person he wants to reuse. After all, he did it for the lord of the palace, and he didn't dislike the officials, he should be a stable and manufacturable talent.

Tang Jiusheng asked, "Zishan, is it appropriate for this king to actively reorganize his armaments now and prepare for a war with the king of peace?"

Qi Siyuan shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, it is too early to rectify the armament at this time, you have also seen that because the officials of Jiannan Province are not clear, the people's lives are difficult, and the prince has only taken office, and there are people who have come thousands of miles to sue the county guard, and it is definitely not the case in Jianzhou." At this time, if we rush to reorganize the armament, we will inevitably waste money and the people, and on the contrary, we will run counter to the idea of protecting the territory and the people. The prince can just rectify the rule of officials, and as for the people, he can let go

Hand and foot, do nothing!"

Tang Jiusheng smiled bitterly and said: "I'm only worried that Pingxi King Yin Quan will raise troops at this time, if we don't rectify our armaments, I'm afraid we will suffer a loss!"

Qi Siyuan said with a smile: "The prince doesn't have to worry about this, King Pingxi is not a fool, he must fight for the world, he only has no more than 50,000 soldiers and horses now, and he can't fight for the world for the time being." If he starts an army now, although it is said that the armament of Jiannan Dao is useless, but according to a few fortified cities, he can still drag him to a half-dead situation, he will not be so reckless. It's not like he should have shown his ambition to compete for the world too early, and now it's hard for him to ride a tiger!"

Tang Jiusheng was playing with the tea bowl in his hand, thoughtfully, and suddenly asked: "His wife was insulted by Yin Ao, he can endure it, isn't such an opponent terrible?"

Qi Siyuan shook his head, "I don't see it that way, Yin Quan, as a prince, can't even protect his own wife, how much can you expect him to do? Even a person like Yin Ao who is ambitious and talented, short-sighted and only greedy for pleasure, he can be a partner...... Let's put it this way, looking at a few of his partners, you can probably see how far he can go! So King Pingxi has nothing to fear, he just has a good father and let him inherit the family business!"

Qi Siyuan smiled again: "When the lives of the people of Jiannan Road improve, even if the king of Pingxi calls, you don't have to mobilize, the people have to defend their homeland spontaneously, at that time, the prince will recruit troops again, but it will be much easier to recruit than now! Now we have thousands of soldiers on hand, and in a few days we will take 500 people as a battalion and send them out to Tuntian, serving the people in leisure time and soldiers in wartime, training at a fixed time every year, and slowly not worrying about food and grass." ”

Tang Jiusheng had just recovered from a serious illness and was a little tired, so he leaned back in his chair and asked: "Zishan, in the past, we collected and searched for information, all through the shadow guards of Dongwei and the National Teacher's Mansion, I think our palace will also establish a similar organization, and it must surpass the institution of the Blood Shadow Hall of the Pingxi Palace!

Qi Siyuan said with a smile: "Lord Wang, your idea is good, but you must use Dongwei and Yingwei, otherwise you will be busy just selecting and training people, and it can't be put into use immediately, we don't have so much time to waste now, we can only find Dongwei to borrow people, and dig people if necessary, fortunately, Yingwei is only loyal to the National Teacher's Mansion, as long as you say hello to the National Teacher, it is relatively much easier!"

Tang Jiusheng yawned and said, "Okay! That's it! I have already thought of the name of the new organization, and it will be called Xiaowei! Without further ado, let's send a letter to my father overnight tonight, and then send a letter to His Majesty and Yang Jingzhong, borrow some people, and prepare to start work! First lay the foundation of Xiaowei in Jiannan Road, and then slowly expand!"

......

The two of them talked at night, talking about the heavens and the earth, talking about the past and the present, Shen Xiaoyu, who was standing next to Tang Jiusheng, was confused several times and almost fell to the ground, provoking Mo Xiang next to him to laugh secretly. Tang Jiusheng smiled and asked Shen Xiaoyu to rest, Shen Xiaoyu shook his head and refused, and said in a low voice: "The prince hasn't slept, how dare the slave and maid sleep?"

Tang Jiusheng smiled and said: "I don't understand you girl anymore, you are the eldest lady of Luoyu Pavilion, but you are willing to stay by my side as a maid? I am embarrassed that I only have two taels of silver a month, it is really too difficult for you!"

Shen Xiaoyu sighed faintly, "But you are the king of Wei who even the three princesses and maids admire, how can the slave and maid not fall in love with you? If the prince thinks that giving two taels of silver is too little, he will not mind giving more slaves and maids!" This Miss Shen is also a person who dares to love and hate, and she does not hide her love for Tang Jiusheng at all.

Qi Siyuan coughed very embarrassedly, "Lord Wang, it's not early now, let's rest after writing the letter!

Tang Jiusheng stood up, stretched his waist, nodded and said: "Okay, the foreign affairs of the palace will be handled by you! This king is going to go to Jianzhou in person, and after finding out the facts, he will handle Ye Tengjiao on the spot, I see that it is not a fuel-efficient lamp to make Niu all over the ground, and I have to move him sooner or later, so as to save him from having to look at Yin Quan every day! This king has long seen him unpleasantly, and he has colluded with Qi Wangsong of the Divine Sword Gate before!"
