Chapter 141

Early the next morning, Zhao Lei summoned all the officials of Wu County to discuss matters in the council hall of the prefect's mansion.

This time, so Wu Jun's civil and military officials were officially juxtaposed on the left and right sides, and Zhao Lei's generals and generals did not appear.Because they are now Zhao Lei's subordinates, not officials of Wu County.They have to wait for Zhao Lei's official canonization before they can formally discuss matters in the government hall.

In terms of seating, Lu Kang, as the meritorious officer of Wu County, deservedly sits first on the left, and the civil servants on the left are full of seats. On the other hand, on the right side of the hall, there are indeed very few seats for military generals.There was no one sitting in the frontmost seat, and the seat was vacant.This seat was originally occupied by Yan Baihu's younger brother Yan Xing, but Yan Xing died in Zhao Lei's hands, so there was no one to sit, so it was vacated, leaving an empty seat.

Zhao Lei sat in the center, and glanced at all the Wu County officials present.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Lei said: "Masters, I have called you here today to discuss some things that have to be discussed."

After Zhao Lei finished speaking, the hall became dead silent. When all the Wu County officials heard what Zhao Lei said, they thought that Zhao Lei's words were nothing, and thought that they would continue to pursue the assassination matter.

"Today I want to officially announce the replacement of officials in Wu County. First, announce the appointment of the head of the governor's office; second, announce the appointment of Yangzhou prefect; third, announce the appointment of the governor's office to join the army; Appointment of Wu County officials."

"These four are for today's matter." Zhao Lei said

Zhao Lei's voice was thick and loud, echoing non-stop in the hall.

After Zhao Lei finished speaking, there was a loud noise in the living room.It turned out that Zhao Lei came to "change the dynasty".

Especially among the generals on the right, several generals' complexions changed suddenly, their ruddy complexions turned grayish purple, and all the blood disappeared immediately.There was a look of unwillingness in his eyes.Everyone heard Zhao Lei's tone, and they already understood that Zhao Lei was going to announce the appointment of his confidants, especially the appointment of generals. Everyone knew that Zhao Lei's men were like clouds.All generals present will be compared.Thinking of this, it made the generals sitting in the living room very upset like swords in their throats.But when those generals thought of the invincible Zhao Yun next to Zhao Lei, compared with themselves, they lost their confidence.

As the saying goes, the so-called emperor and courtiers.When Zhao Lei became the governor of Yangzhou, a group of officials would naturally step down and another group of officials would be promoted.This is a very normal thing, but if this kind of thing happens to me, I will feel a little bit unwilling in the normal way.

And the most obvious thing is that those who stepped down must be those officials that Yan Baihu had reused or colluded with before.

Although the civil servants were whispering to each other, they didn't have the bleak and decadent expression like the generals.But Lu Kang sitting at the front is different. He has no expression on his face, his eyes become more energetic and sharp, without any fluctuation, as if what Zhao Lei said is just a breeze, blowing gently, It doesn't matter at all, it has nothing to do with him.

"Everyone, please be quiet." Zhao Lei's expression was serious. Although his voice was very soft, the hall suddenly fell silent.

At this time, Zhao Lei turned his gaze to the outside of the hall and shouted: "Please enter the hall for the new officials to be appointed today."

After the words fell, there were guards outside the door to invite Zhang Han and other people who had been waiting for a long time, while Zhao Lei stood up from his seat, walked to the door of the hall, and waited for his subordinates to enter the living room.This is tantamount to justifiably giving official positions to their subordinates.

Zhao Lei thought in his heart: Starting today, Wu County will be in his hands.

Generally speaking, Zhao Lei only needs an edict to complete the appointment of this kind of official, but Zhao Lei summoned all the officials and announced the appointment of his subordinates in public, which is tantamount to sending a message to the entire Wu County. The aristocratic families and officials demonstrated.

Some of the Wu County officials present were also representatives of the aristocratic family, and they all felt that Zhao Lei had a posture that those who follow me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish.

Moreover, Zhao Lei stood up from his seat and went to the living room to greet his subordinates, which even whetted the appetite of Wu County officials.Everyone wanted to see what Zhao Lei was planning.

These officials also knew in their hearts that Zhao Lei was going to change Wu County's blood this time, and they felt a chill in their hearts.Some officials lowered their heads and sighed.

For a moment, the eyes of all the officials gathered at the entrance of the hall.

Even Lu Kang, who was sitting motionless in the first place on the left, opened his eyes, glanced at the door of the living room, and watched the scene that Zhao Lei was performing.

In the living room, there was silence, waiting for Zhang Han's arrival.

"Da da da……"

Outside the living room, a sound of steady footsteps came slowly.Immediately afterwards, more footsteps followed.

I saw Zhang Han leading a group of people in long robes walking in slowly one after another.

Zhang Han is the head of civil officials, and Zhao Yun is the head of military generals.

Suddenly Zhao Lei said: "Everyone, today I have invited a special guest to attend today's inauguration meeting. He is the former court Yilang and my teacher, Cai Yong, Mr. Cai."

There was an exclamation, none of the officials in Wu County thought that Cai Yong, the representative of Shilin, was actually Zhao Lei's teacher?

Apparently in this age when the news was closed, the fact that Cai Yong became Zhao Lei's teacher was only spread in the Central Plains, and Yangzhou did not get any news, so when Zhao Lei finished what he just said, the audience was shocked.

"As expected of Mr. Inspector, he is Cai Yong's student." All the officials whispered to each other.

Cai Yong was also very proud. His student became the governor of Yangzhou, and his reputation was famous all over the world. Naturally, being a teacher has a bright face.Zhao Lei relied on Cai Yong to recruit talents, and Cai Yong relied on Zhao Lei to earn fame, and the two also benefited from each other.

Lu Kang glanced at Zhao Lei and Cai Yong with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.He thought in his heart: Maybe the revitalization of the family depends on Zhao Lei.

After Zhao Lei asked Cai Yong to take the seat, he returned to his seat and began to say: "The appointments I announced are as follows. Cai Yong is the Yilang of Yangzhou, Cheng Yu is the prefect of Wu County, and Lu Su is the chief secretary of the governor's office, in charge of document collection. Xi Zhicai served as Yangzhou prefect, responsible for recruitment and training of troops in Yangzhou; Guo Jia joined the army in Yangzhou and was in charge of military staff. Jia Xu served as military adviser general, Jushou served as Yangzhou Biejia, and Zhao Yun served as Huwei Generals, Zhang Liao as General Fenwei, Dian Wei as General Weidong, Xu Chu as General Weixi, Wen Chou as General Weinan, Zhang He as General Weibei, Gao Shun and Gao Lan as General Yamen, Le Jin, Wenpin, Li Tong , Zhou Cang is the general, Liao Hua and Gong are both lieutenants of Zhongyi. Zhang Han is the commander of the arsenal and also serves as my military adviser."

After speaking, the audience was in an uproar, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, Zhao Lei, the original official of Wu County, was useless.Lu Kang also showed disappointment when he saw that Zhao Lei was not being used by anyone.

Zhao Lei said: "Wait, I forgot."

Everyone immediately fell silent again.

"Official Lu Kang has been promoted to a higher level, from the former meritorious officer of Wu County to the meritorious officer of Yangzhou." Zhao Lei looked at Lu Kang with a smile and said.

Lu Kang suddenly felt that Zhao Lei's smile looked very strange.

In the hall, everyone was discussing and feeling a burst of despair at Zhao Lei's decision.

Zhao Lei glanced over the crowd and sneered inwardly when he saw the despairing expressions of the officials.

Only Lu Kang's eyes twinkled, a little proud.

Lu Kang thought: This Zhao Lei is indeed different from ordinary people.

But the officials didn't think so, they stared at Zhao Lei full of anger.Finally, one person couldn't bear it anymore and yelled at Zhao Lei, and the others followed suit.

At this time, the sound of weapons being unsheathed filled the entire hall, and the civil servants were so frightened that they dared not fart when they saw Zhao Lei's generals showing their weapons.

"Dian Wei, Xu Chu. Get rid of these people. We don't need these scumbags to manage Wu County anymore," Zhao Lei said.

"No." Xu Chu and Dian Wei said in unison.

In an instant, the group of Wu County officials were thrown out of the Sheriff's Mansion by Xu Chu and Dian Wei.
