The current situation of Feng Country was that although on the surface, it looked to be a powerful military force and a powerful nation, in truth, there were many internal problems, and corruption amongst them was one of the major problems.
And the main reason for this problem was still with Tang Yin. As long as he had enough loyalty, he would make a breakthrough. And the people who were most loyal to Tang Yin, the people he trusted the most, were precisely the soldiers in the army who fought alongside him in life and death situations.
These people were loyal to Tang Yin, were loyal to the Feng Country, and were dead set on the ground. Basically, they were able to stabilize the ground with their Feng Country, and there would not be any large-scale rebellion, so the army ahead of them would not have any worries. But with the end of the war, the shortcomings of these officers who had been transferred from the military to the government were gradually revealed.
In terms of leading their troops to war and charge through the ranks, they were all first-class experts. But to let them govern this place, they were all outsiders, and they did not have much political achievements, so they actually brought along their overbearing style of Feng Army into the government field. They became tyrants of this place by bullying men and women, embezzling wealth and being cruel and ruthless.
Feng Country was currently the largest territory among the various nations, but the annual revenue collection was inferior to Ann Country, let alone compared to Chuan Country.
He wanted to raise this issue with Tang Yin, but there were too many aspects involved, so it was not easy for him to ask. Now that Tang Yin had posed the question he saw on the South City, he decided to make use of it and put the entire question in front of Tang Yin.
Tang Yin had never known that there were so many problems in a place like this. He was silent for a long time before raising his head to look at Qiu Zhen, and seeing that the latter had his head lowered without saying a word, he turned to Shangguan Yuanji and asked: "Yuanji, then how do you think we should settle this matter? To replace all these local officials who were transferred from the military to the government? "
"You can't!" Qiu Zhen suddenly raised his head and said: "This way, there will be a great mess! "These brothers who have come to serve in the military have repeatedly achieved meritorious service in the military. Not only will these brothers feel disheartened, they will also feel dissatisfied towards the King."
Although the nominations were reported to the various Regiment Chief s, the final decision had to be made by him, the Minister of the Left, before he could submit it to Tang Yin. As the Minister of the Left, he was the head of the Feng Army and was very considerate of the soldiers in the army. In her heart, he did not wish to replace the officials who had been transferred from the army to the government.
Shangguan Yuanji nodded his head and said seriously: "Prime Minister Qiu is right, this matter should be done slowly, and cannot be rushed, because there are more than twenty countries involved, which is because the number of s, county leaders, and Mayor s that are being replaced should be more than twenty. Not only will this cause chaos and panic in this area, it's also possible that these people could be rebelled.
"They dare!" Hearing that, Tang Yin's face became ugly, he immediately stood up and said solemnly: "Everything they have today was given to me by me, now I want to take it back, who dares to rebel?"
Qiu Zhen quickly replied: That's right! "These brothers will never go back on their words. They all followed the King out from the pile of corpses ?"
Shangguan Yuanji shook his head and laughed bitterly: "In this world, the person who has undergone the most transformations is the human heart.
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Moreover, they are all generals from different Legions, and have a wide network of contacts in the Legions. They are also the old subordinates and brothers of the various Regiment Chief s.
Tang Yin subconsciously clenched his fists as he bit his lips. Qiu Zhen anxiously scolded from the side, "Yuanji, don't say anymore. Do you know that just based on what you said just now, there is already turmoil in your heart.
Shangguan Yuanji smiled indifferently, and said: "As a subject, I have to eat the king's grace. I will split the king's worries, and prevent it from burning, does Prime Minister Qiu not care too much about my subordinates ?" She had forgotten who she was loyal to. He did not speak the latter part of the sentence.
Even if it was the first half of the sentence, it was enough to hurt Qiu Zhen. His eyes were secretly filled with anger, and he questioned: "Did Yuanji say that I was protecting my subordinates?"
Seeing that Qiu Zhen was angry, Shangguan Yuanji immediately laughed and waved his hand, saying: "Why are you angry, I am only discussing the matter. The key still depends on how the King decides." As he spoke, he looked towards Tang Yin.
He had already revealed the formidable relationship between the two. He believed that with the King's intelligence, he should know what to do.
The officials who had transferred from the army to power could not be considered Qiu Zhen's subordinates, and there were even Regiment Chief s from the various armies in the process. If they were to attack Qiu Zhen, he would be angered, and if he really did that, the reactions of the various Regiment Chief s could be easily determined.
Tang Yin waved his hand and said: "Enough, stop being so noisy." His expression changed as he paced back and forth in the room. Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji stood on both sides with their heads bowed. The former did not forget to glare ruthlessly at the latter, in order to express the dissatisfaction in his heart.
It was originally a small matter related to South City in the first place, whether it be punishment or punishment, you just have to discuss the matter properly.
After pacing for a while, Tang Yin finally stopped. He looked at Shangguan Yuanji, then looked at Qiu Zhen and sighed. "Let's talk about it in the future!"
"Great king, this matter is urgent. This matter concerns the foundations of the country, we cannot delay it ?"
Without waiting for Shangguan Yuanji to finish speaking, Qiu Zhen stepped forward and interrupted him, "Oh right, Your Majesty, about the division of Huan Country territories, I wonder if Your Majesty has considered it yet?" When he spoke, he glared at Shangguan Yuanji, meaning to tell him to shut up quickly.
"I have already considered this. I plan to divide Huan Country in the pavilion and the Bamboo Hill County, and the White Horse County and the Yishu County in the Ann Country. What do you think?"
"The pavilion, the bamboo mountain, the white horse, YiShu ?" Qiu Zhen took out the map, laid it on the table, and pointed it out with his finger. After examining it carefully for a while, he grinned and said: "It's extremely good, especially the White Horse and the Yishu County, which are separated by Ann Country, are next to the Zhen Country. Our army can garner troops here, nominally to help defend the Ann Country, but in truth, they have other uses!"
"That's right, I was also considering it ?"
When the topic of military affairs and future strategies was brought up, Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen immediately chattered nonstop, and Shangguan Yuanji who was at the side could not even interrupt. When the matters were settled and Tang Yin was tired, both Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji bade farewell.
They left the study and went outside. The two of them chatted quietly as they walked. Shangguan Yuanji said: "Prime Minister Qiu, why didn't you let me speak just now?"
"Say what? About the dismissal? With so many officials and so many people involved, what could they do? You don't even have a good idea yourself, what do you want the King to do? Since I can't solve the problem, then there's no need for me to continue talking about it. " Qiu Zhen shook his head.0
"Are we just going to let him go and sit back and do nothing?"
"Fly birds hide their bows well, crafty rabbits die and dogs cook. They are still trying to kill the donkey. I, Windy, am ready to kill the donkey before I can even do that? In fact, the King had already made it very clear that they would discuss it in the future. What did that mean? "I'm just telling you, let's talk about this later!" Qiu Zhen slowly opened his mouth, revealing his two rows of white teeth.
"If your foundation is not stable, how can you talk about great things? In the long run, not only will our country not be able to win against the Chuan Country, I'm afraid that I will have to die first at my own hands! " Shangguan Yuanji sighed quietly.
"If you can even say such words, I think you're going to lose your life." Qiu Zhen mumbled absentmindedly as he stretched his neck to look at the guards who were rushing over.
When the guard was about to run past him, he reached out to stop the guard and asked in a deep voice, "There are no rules and no rules. What is so urgent?"
"Prime Minister Qiu, Prime Minister Shangguan!" The guard stopped and bowed towards the two of them. Then, he said softly, "A messenger from Chuan Country has arrived. It is a letter personally written by the King Chuan to the King."
"Oh?" Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were both startled. King Chuan actually sent a letter to the King. Qiu Zhen asked: "Where are you now? Did you say anything else? "
"The Chuan Country used to be just outside the palace, so they didn't say anything else."
"Mm, got it. The King is in her study. Go quickly!" Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji looked at each other, then turned and walked back. King Chuan's letter was not a small matter, both of them were very curious about what King Chuan would say in the letter.
When the two of them returned to the study room, Tang Yin was in the middle of opening the envelope. When he saw the two of them, he laughed: "You two came back just in time, Xiao Xuan has sent a letter."
"I heard about it just now."
Tang Yin took out the letter, opened it, smiled, and said: "Alright, it's really good."
Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji were confused. What did the King see?
Tang Yin's next words almost made them vomit blood. Elder Royal Brother Xiao's handwriting is really good, but unfortunately, I can't understand a single word. " As he said that, he held onto the letter with both of his fingers and gave it to Qiu Zhen, saying: "Read it!"
Qiu Zhen immediately received it and looked down at it. The letter was densely packed with words, and when he said it, Xiao Xuan's calligraphy was extremely beautiful, but it was extremely powerful, and everyone was wary of it, and only written with wild grass. Not to mention Tang Yin, even reading it was extremely tiring, and he needed to understand it carefully.
He first read it from the beginning to the end, then happily said, "Great King, this is a letter of rescue." As he said this, he recited the contents of the letter from beginning to end.
