Changan.

Pushing open the door, Yang Chenglong cautiously walked into the Prime Minister's Office, raised his head slightly, and saw his lord holding a document in his hand, sitting in the prime minister's seat, looking at the report on it.

He was shocked, held his breath and straightened his body, and complained, "Lord!"

"It's Yang Chenglong, what are you looking for me?" Xiao Feng didn't look up, still looking at the document in his hand.

Yang Chenglong felt that the atmosphere was solemn, and he didn't feel at ease with Xiao Jingmao as usual, so he bowed his head and replied: "Lord Qi, this is about the planning of the third phase of the railway construction, please take a look." ”

"The plan for the third phase of railway construction?

Raising his head from the desk, Xiao Feng motioned for Yang Chenglong to hand over the railway.

Yang Chenglong presented it, his hands stood solemnly at his side, feeling a little uneasy, especially the other party's fingers poked on the desk, which made him feel like he was knocking on his heart.

"Well, are you going to use those captives to build a railroad?"

The sound of opening finally made Yang Chenglong feel a little relieved, and replied: "Yes, lord." You must know that the construction of railways requires a lot of labor. If you recruit people, on the one hand, it will be too expensive, and on the other hand, it will delay the agricultural time, so I think it is better to let them build the railroad than to imprison those prisoners, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. ”

"That said. But do you know that those people are criminals after all, and what if they make trouble?" Xiao Feng asked.

Yang Chenglong replied: "So I beg my lord, can we set up an army and a court in the Ministry of Railways? In this way, even if they start to make trouble, they will not be out of control!"

"If that's the case, it shouldn't be like this. Xiao Feng shook his head, his eyes fell on Yang Chenglong's face, as if he had seen through Yang Chenglong's thoughts: "I have read all the files on the Ministry of Railways!"

Hearing this, Yang Chenglong was stunned, and a little fear appeared in his eyes.

"In these files, there have been lawsuits against you. It's just that you forcibly pressed it down with military affairs, right?" Xiao Feng patted the file in his hand and looked at Yang Chenglong with a slight sigh.

She has been away from Chang'an for more than two years, and Chang'an has changed a lot in the past two years, in order to know everything in Chang'an, so she ordered her subordinates to move all the documents from the past, and read them one by one to see if there is anything missing.

This rummaging was immediately discovered by her.

Since Xiao Feng decided to use the railway to penetrate the whole territory, the entire Chifeng army began to carry out construction projects in full swing, and the railway needs to occupy a large amount of land, in this case, it is inevitable to deal with the local people, so that they can expropriate land from them.

Because of this, Yang Chenglong clashed with those people because of the relocation of an ancestral tomb, and even used some bad means for this, which naturally made Xiao Feng difficult to accept.

Yang Chenglong's lips squirmed for a moment, and he couldn't help but lower his head: "Lord Qiqi, it's true!"

"Why?"

A sentence of why, piercing Yang Chenglong's heart, his eyes were a little trance, and finally returned to firmness.

"Lord Qi. I consulted with those people and offered to compensate the property as compensation. Who would have thought that the other party would open his mouth widely, I had no choice but to make this decision!" Yang Chenglong closed his head and replied: "Otherwise, I am afraid that it will only take a year or two before the railway can be opened!" When he said these words, he also peeked at Xiao Feng, wanting to see clearly what kind of attitude the other party had.

But Xiao Feng's expression was serious, which made Yang Chenglong a little disappointed.

"Say, then what are you going to do with it? You must know that the other party has already made trouble with me, if I can't even deal with this, what do you make other people think!" Xiao Feng said.

"Please also ask the lord to condemn the crime!"

Yang Chenglong knelt on the ground, his voice was as faint as a gnat, if it weren't for Xiao Feng's keen hearing, he would be afraid that it would be difficult to hear.

"Of course you are guilty! If I don't punish you well, then how should I deal with myself?" Xiao Feng said angrily.

To be honest, Xiao Feng didn't care about the outcome of this matter, and put it on himself, but he was afraid that he would not do as well as Yang Chenglong.

What she cares more about is that she has only been away for a while, and her subordinates actually hide themselves to do this kind of thing, which is really unacceptable.

"The subordinates are willing to accept the punishment. ”

Regarding this matter, Yang Chenglong was speechless and did not continue to argue.

Xiao Feng warned: "Stop for three years and deduct one year's salary." Understand? Also, hand over the work to your deputy before leaving. Right now, the construction of the railroad is the number one priority, and it can't happen again, you know?"

"I see!"

Nodding his head again and again, Yang Chenglong felt a little embarrassed, but he was still very happy.

It's just a temporary suspension, he naturally doesn't care much, and the three-year suspension can only be regarded as a warning, and when the time comes, he can also change his official position and reinstate his position.

But it's fortunate that no one died, otherwise it wouldn't have been solved so easily.

After saying goodbye to Xiao Feng, Yang Chenglong stepped out of the room, but saw a person standing in front of him, it was Ma Yundong, Minister of National Defense.

Ma Yundong glanced at Yang Chenglong with a little anger, and complained: "Why have you been delaying inside for so long?

"I'm really sorry about this!"

Yang Chenglong didn't want to argue, but asked: "Because I have to submit the third phase of the railway construction plan, it took some time." It's just that I don't know what happened to Minister Ma when he is here today?"

"Can't you come if you're fine?" Ma Yundong was still disdainful, and directly retorted: "And when will it be your turn to intervene in my affairs?"

Because of the uprising, Ma Yundong was full of rejection of locals like Yang Chenglong, and he was indignant until now.

"This, I just said casually, Minister Ma should not be blamed. Yang Chenglong reluctantly apologized, turned sideways to make his debut, and complained: "Then I won't bother you." Farewell!"

With both hands, Yang Chenglong said goodbye, but he was still thinking endlessly.

"What does this mean, Lord? How do you feel, it seems to have been specifically said to me? Could it be that this time, what is the Lord going to do?"

Since Xiao Feng returned to Chang'an, Yang Chenglong felt that the atmosphere of the whole city had changed, and there seemed to be an undercurrent.

For example, he thought that he could serve as the prime minister after Xiao Jingmao left, but Xiao Feng directly announced that the position of prime minister would be held by himself part-time, and after serving as the prime minister and chairman, Xiao Feng's power also reached its peak.

Seeing this, Yang Chenglong naturally had no choice but to give up his attempt.

Although the rest of the people were surprised, they didn't dare to say anything, because they also saw that their lord seemed to intend to concentrate the once scattered power and build a solid foundation for the next step of competing with Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty for the world.

Yang Chenglong also understood this, so he naturally gave up his idea and stayed down temporarily, because he understood that when a new round of storms swept in, those who dared to stop it would only be crushed into pulp.
