The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1450 Chaos in Guangxi
Zhao Dongting did not leave Libo Cave that night, and sat and drank with Hong Wutian until dawn.

When the sun was rising, Zhao Dongting stood up, forced out his drunkenness, and said, "Senior, Zhao is going back first."

Hong Wutian stood up staggeringly, "Let's go, the emperor came all the way to see me, an old man, this life is enough for the old man."

Zhao Dongting's figure flitted into the distance.

Hong Wutian seemed drunk, looked at Zhao Dongting's far away back, and muttered in his mouth: "There is you in the world, why worry about it, it's a pity... I was born decades earlier..."

……

Zhao Dongting was used to being a hands-off shopkeeper, and when he returned to Changsha, the court remained as usual without any disturbances.

The Mingjingtai business is already in full swing in Changsha.

After entering the city, Zhao Dongting saw notices posted everywhere in the city.There are many people watching around.

He didn't go back to the palace directly, but went to Wen Mansion.He stayed in Wen's mansion until Wen Qingshu came back.

When Wen Qingshu saw Zhao Dongting, who was wearing ordinary clothes, he was stunned on the spot, and immediately kowtowed: "My minister Wen Qingshu kowtows to the emperor!"

Zhao Dongting only smiled and said, "Excuse me."

Then he asked again: "Is Viscount Wen doing well in the Finance Bureau of Changsha Prefecture?"

Wen Qingshu clasped his hands and replied: "My minister, thank you for your concern, everything goes well."

Zhao Dongting nodded slightly, looked at Wen Yuan who was beside him with an unconcealable pride on his face, and asked again: "Should Viscount Wen have heard about the Mingjingtai?"

Wen Qingshu replied: "Everyone in Changsha knows about this matter, everyone knows about it."

Zhao Dongting then said: "Mingjingtai's organization is definitely larger than any other government office in Song Dynasty. Although it only performs the duties of supervision, if there is no strict management, it may be difficult to achieve the desired effect. I select bright mirrors in every village and town, but we can’t invite them to Changsha every year when the enlightened mirrors are held. But I also want to listen, so I need to select the Secretary-General of the Mirror Station in every town and city to coordinate the affairs of the Mirror Station and be directly responsible to me. I’m afraid I don’t have so much time, I don’t know Viscount Wen, do you have the confidence to handle this matter for me?"

Wen Qingshu froze on the spot.

She is a talented woman, and she is a talented woman who came out of the new type of education.She knew how important the Mirror Tower was.

It can even be said that the importance of Mingjingtai to Song Dynasty will not be lower than that of the Ministry of State and the Ministry of Military Aircraft.

She never dared to think that the emperor would entrust her with such a task.

After a while, she finally said, "I will do my best."

Although she was a Jinshi in high school, her official position was not high after all. She really didn't have the confidence to say that she would definitely help Zhao Dongting with this matter.

Zhao Dongting didn't care either, and said with a light smile, "Then you will be the general secretary-general of the Mingjingtai from now on, and help me manage all the affairs of the Mingjingtai."

Wen Qingshu was slightly puzzled: "Your Majesty, I don't know what the General Secretary is?"

Zhao Dongting thought about it for a while, and said: "Just treat it as my assistant. It's just that although this position has a reward, it doesn't have a serious grade!"

Wen Qingshu smiled and said: "The emperor should know that this humble minister doesn't care about this."

Zhao Dongting nodded, "Then when I return to the palace, I will free up the Mingjingtai mansion for you. You are ready to take up the post at Mingjingtai!"

Wen Qingshu knelt down on the ground to thank him.

Zhao Dongting refused to be sent off by everyone in Wen's family, and left Wen's house with a smile.

Later, he went to the home of Chen Jianghan and other veterans.

After hearing Zhao Dongting's words, people like Chen Jianghan were willing to serve as "consultants" at the Mirror Tower.

They are the fundamental strength of the Mingjingtai, and they are also Zhao Dongting's favor to these veterans.In his heart, after all, these talents are the most trustworthy.

It was already late at night when he returned to the palace.

All the girls are already asleep.

Although Zhao Dongting trekked for days, he didn't feel sleepy.

He sat at the stone table in the yard in a daze.

I don't know what I want to do.I can’t help but hear the jokes I heard in my previous life. It’s about looking for a partner. If you say you want to find it, you don’t really want to find it. If you say you don’t want to find it, you will occasionally think about it, but you just want to wait. .

Zhao Dongting didn't know what he was waiting for either.

……

The territory of Guangnan West Road is now becoming more and more tense.

As the Zhennan Military District directly came forward to take down several officials from important departments of Jingjiang Mansion, most of the people in Guangnan West Road were in danger.

Although those officials are not that important, a series of people may be drawn from them.

Deputy Minister Chen is definitely not such an easy character to deal with.

If he is really allowed to open the mouth of those officials, with the backing of the Zhen Guo Military Region, he is afraid that the entire Guangnan West Road will be overthrown by him.

Although it was late at night, the Yamen of Wen Zheyan's Jiedu Mansion was still brightly lit.

Several chief officials of the yamen were in his study, and all of them looked dignified, even anxious.

Someone said to Wen Zheyan: "Jiedushi, if the deputy state affairs order continues to investigate like this, I'm afraid we will all be bitten out!"

Wen Zheyan, who has a refined temperament, glanced at him lightly, "Then what good idea do you have?"

This glance is full of official authority.

The official was silent for a while, narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "In my opinion, it is better to come..."

He wiped his neck, "Only the dead can't speak."

"madness."

Wen Zheyan gave these two words of evaluation mercilessly, and then slowly said: "Not to mention that those people are all detained in the Zhenguo Military Region, it's not that we can fish if we want, and we can kill if we want to kill them." Yes, even if you kill them, it will only be mud sticking to your crotch. It's either shit or shit. Deputy Minister of State Chen was sent by the emperor. If those people die, I guarantee that the emperor and Deputy State Minister Chen will reconcile We will investigate to the end. At that time, we people will not even have room to maneuver."

The official was full of bitterness, "But now, Deputy Minister Chen has the intention to dig deeper. If this continues, won't we still be implicated sooner or later?"

Wen Zheyan's expression gradually became gloomy, "So, if you want to cut it, you still have to cut it from the root."

Several officials changed their colors slightly when they heard the words, "Jiedu makes you mean..."

Wen Zheyan said: "Do I need to explain this clearly? Deputy Minister Chen came with the duty of inspection and often went to various places for investigation. There are many Yi people in Guangnan West Road, and there are always some people who are dissatisfied with the imperial court. Isn't it normal that the deputy state affairs order is unfavorable?"

Several officials suddenly became pensive.

Wen Zheyan looked at Huang Quanchan, who had taken over the post of comfort envoy from Liu Hongyi on Guangnan West Road, and said, "Pacifier Huang, for the sake of the imperial court's suppression of bandits in the past two years, you have always been sympathetic to the few bandits in the territory. .Don't tell me that you have nothing to do with them, I will leave this matter to you, is it okay?"

Huang Quanqiu did not refuse, and said directly: "Envoy Jiedu, don't worry, I will send someone to deliver a message to them later."

Wen Zheyan nodded lightly, and said quietly: "In two days, Deputy Minister Chen will visit Huazhou..."

……

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

Chen Wenlong took the duty of inspection, but in fact he naturally wanted to listen to the opinions of the people in various places.Up to now, the more he checked, the more frightened he became.

In the short few years since Wen Zheyan took office, this Guangnan West Road has become so decayed that he feels terrified.

Not to mention that the Jingjiang Mansion, which is like a deep well, is now facing resistance even if he wants to investigate, even the places he has inspected are also protected by officials.

Even before his arrival, those people had cleaned it up.Whether it's accounts or anything, it's hard to find any clues.

He had to come to Huazhou.

Because Song Bitao, the magistrate of Huazhou, is a veteran minister in the court, and was recommended by Mu Kangxun, the old supervisor.

If you really want to say that there is still a clean place on Guangnan West Road, it is probably Huazhou.

After all, Song Bitao was promoted by the emperor himself. After all these years, although he was not able to occupy a high position, no one could drag him down.

On the official road, hundreds of soldiers from the Zhen Guo Military Area Command guarded Chen Wenlong's chariot.

These hundreds of soldiers were all drawn from the special regiment, and all of them were pretty good.

But no one thought that even under the protection of such heavy troops, there would still be people who would dare to pout their beards.

When the team was about twenty miles away from Shilong City in Huazhou, there was a sudden explosion in front of the team.

More than a dozen soldiers of the special regiment were blown to pieces in the rising smoke and dust.
