The most powerful minister in the world

Jing Xi and others were drinking porridge behind closed doors in the hall, silent. Mu Sheng looked at the pickles on the chopsticks and pursed his lips with a grimace. He looked up at the energetic Jing Xi and finally couldn't help but ask. : "Second Young Master, what kind of show are you singing? Just let me pretend to be you. I'd like to say hello in advance. If I'm not sure, wouldn't that reveal the truth?"

Jingxi walked around the edge of the bowl and took a sip of the porridge, then poured all the pickles into the bowl. After drinking it, he said, "If I told you in advance, you would probably not agree, so I just put the duck on the shelf." That’s it.”

"Master Jing, are you so sure that the officials in Jiangnan Province don't know you? Li Chang is Chen Ming's uncle. You threw him into the lake when he was in the Imperial College."

"Hey~ I forgot about this if you didn't tell me. This is interesting. Don't worry. I only followed Old Man Yan out of the capital when I was very young. The rest of the time I was in southern Xinjiang. No one would know What do I look like?"

Mu Sheng frowned, stood up and paced back and forth in the hall: "Second Young Master, you must have your reasons for arranging this, but this matter is such a big deal, you have to tell me what you think, right?"

Mu Sheng agreed to join Jing Xilai to suppress bandits this time with the intention of supporting justice and eliminating harm for the people. It was through these few days that he discovered that Jing Xi did not seem to take it seriously. He is now I was so anxious that I walked on a mountain road when I came here. The bones on both sides of the muddy road were still vivid in my mind. I didn't know how many women from good families were suffering in the mountains now!

Jingxi saw the veins on his temples bulging out, then he put down the bowl in his hand with one eye bigger and the other smaller, and said with a smile: "Mu Sheng~ People say that I, the arrogant and domineering second son of the Jing family, have an impatient temper. How can I Do you think you are worse than me?"

Hearing this, Mu Sheng was stunned. Looking at Jing Xi's deep and confident amber eyes, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Have you read the military department's excerpt?"

"Naturally, as the director of the Imperial College, some important documents from the imperial court will be distributed for the reference of the supervisors."

"Then do you know how many bandits there are in total in the 16 affected prefectures, 93 counties, and on the mountains of all sizes?"

Mu Sheng flicked his sleeves and said, "There are more than 50,000 bandits in total!"

"Shit!" Jing Xi jumped up, took out an envelope from his arms and threw it to Mu Sheng, "Look, I asked the black knight in the house to check this!"

Mu Sheng frowned, took out the letter paper and read it word by word. After reading it, he looked surprised, his hands trembled and said: "Why is this so? Not to mention Huainan, Jiangnan has been a land of fish and rice since ancient times. How could so many people be born?" Bandits?! Is there a lie in the report from the Ministry of War? There are already 150,000 bandits in two groups??"

Li Dongyang was holding porridge in his mouth at this time and said: "Hey~ This is 20,000 more officers and soldiers than the two government offices combined. Tsk tsk, it's incredible."

Jing Xi walked towards Mu Sheng step by step and patted his shoulder and said, "Don't think that I took this job just to escape from marriage. The last time Xu Shuhe took advantage of others, he already made the court lose face. Now I am the only one in the court." Ability to surge wildly!"

Mu Sheng looked at the letter and gave a bitter smile, his face full of self-mockery and said: "After reading it on paper, I feel shallow and I have learned a lesson."

"Hi~ By the way, have you eaten? If you've eaten, move in. The warehouse has been sorted out. I've also asked people to sort out all the anecdotes from the past few years. Let's get to work."

Everyone walked towards the warehouse one after another. Jingxi deliberately let Mu Sheng go in front and followed behind him. From now on, Mu Sheng was Jing Xi to confuse the audience.

Li Dongyang and Jing Xi were walking side by side, their eyes rolling around, as if they were hesitant to speak. Jing Xi kicked him and said, "If you fart, just let it go." Li Dongyang slapped his butt and muttered, "Second Young Master. You just said a lot, which is based on emotion and reason, but why didn't Mr. Li understand that it has nothing to do with the reason why you asked Brother Mu to pretend to be you?"

Hearing this, Jingxi bared her teeth and hooked his arm, threatening: "Shut up, just ask what you need to ask, and you'll get your words broken in your stomach if you don't ask."

"You asked me to ask."

Jingxi punched him in the stomach, and Li Dongyang repeatedly begged for mercy. Everyone walked into the warehouse under the watchful eyes of Jiangnan Dao officials. Before walking in, Jingxi turned around and said, "All officials below the fifth rank should go back. Wait in the room of grade five or above."

The officials below the fifth rank cursed in their hearts, threw up their sleeves and left angrily. Li Chang and Yang Mingyi looked at each other and led the remaining twenty or so officials in.

Mu Shengzheng took the golden arrow given by Jing Xi and placed it on the high cabinet behind the document. Li Chang led the officials to bow and bow.

"All the gentlemen, please get up~" Mu Sheng said cheerfully, but Jing Xi grinned and told him to show off.

Mu Sheng made an oh sign, and when everyone stood up, he slammed the table, which made everyone tremble. Even Jing Xi unconsciously shrank his neck and looked at him with wide eyes.

"Xu Shuhe was greedy for power and advanced recklessly, losing more than 20,000 officers and soldiers. You local officials are also blinded by shit, and you don't even know how to dissuade them?!"

When Li Chang heard that this was an attempt to raise an army to investigate, he quickly stepped forward to clear the air and said, "Your Majesty Governor, Xu Shu congratulated him for being self-willed. I tried to persuade him again and again, but he insisted on going his own way, which is why this situation has arisen."

"You fart!" Mu Sheng picked up the book on the table and threw it down the hall, wiping Li Chang's head and hitting Yang Mingyi, who heard an ouch.

"You've got it right. You're the dignified governor of Jiangnan Province, a second-grade official, and you can manage without any problems. Even if bandits are rampant, you're so thick-skinned that you can't compare to the city walls of southern Xinjiang!"

"Let me tell you, I'm here this time. If you want to cause trouble for me, whether it's overtly or covertly, don't let me find out. Otherwise, I'll peel off your skin first." , and then hang on the city gate tower to dry in the sun all day long!"

Jingxi looked at Mu Sheng, who had learned so well in the school on the stage, and held back his smile and secretly gave him a thumbs up. He slightly glared, as if he was a little exhausted. Li Chang, who was sitting in the hall, wiped the sweat from his forehead and bowed: "The governor taught us a lesson, and we will learn from it and cooperate with the expert to complete various tasks of suppressing bandits."

"Okay, there is no proof for what you say. There is a golden arrow here. You can put it on the record. I am from the military. We will act in accordance with military law. Anyone who commits a crime will be severely punished!"

"This..." Li Chang hesitated and couldn't speak. Hearing Mu Sheng in the hall hum, he gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

After the painting was finished and escorted, Mu Sheng spoke again: "Only some of the officers and soldiers of Jiangnan Road will be left to guard the area, and the rest will be transferred to Dancheng. I want to review them!"

"Yes, yes, it will arrive in five days."

"Three days!"

Li Chang's teeth were almost broken when he was choked. Three days? Then you have to travel all night, and you have to be busy preparing various matters even if you can't sleep?

"Master Li, if nothing happens, you can go down."

"Sir~ Haha, we have set up a banquet in Chunrui Tower, and we hope that you will appreciate it. We also want to show our respect, right?"

"No need, I've already eaten."

Li Chang was stunned, thinking that he would not touch his cold butt with his warm face, so he bent down and bowed and left. After Liu Huangying closed the door of the warehouse and looked away from the door, she came back and sat down.

Jingxi was already lying on the tea table, holding his stomach and laughing so much that he was curled up in a ball. Mu Sheng was leaning on the wooden chair on the high platform, his face was pale, and he didn't even have the strength to hold a teacup.

"Master Mu, what you learned looks so similar to me. You are almost like Mr. Jing himself."

Li Dongyang also echoed: "Although they are not similar in appearance, they are similar in spirit!"

"Don't tell me, I was shocked. I originally thought he was mute and silent, but I was afraid he wouldn't be able to show off, so I didn't expect... Hahaha, I admire him." Jing Xi patted Smiling bohemianly at the table.

This was hard work for Mu Sheng, who had tried so hard to disguise himself. He gasped and said, "I admire the second young master. I can't breathe after pretending for so long. It's your nature. Dare you ask the second young master?" , how long are you going to let me pretend?"

"Isn't this great? Just keep pretending, you are now a second-level governor and a first-level official, hahahaha!"

Lian'er walked out from behind the screen in the warehouse, looked at Mu Sheng who was sitting on the chair, and said, "I thought it was Young Master sitting here, why is it Young Master Mu? Wasn't Young Master just scolding someone?"

As soon as he said this, Jing Xiyou, who had gradually stopped laughing, started laughing with his belly in his hands, and Li Dongyang also squirted out a mouthful of tea and kept laughing.

Mu Sheng weakly held up his hands to Lan'er and said, "Miss Lan'er, I am forced to do nothing. I'm afraid if I do this a few more times, I will be too tired to stand up."

Lan'er covered her mouth and snickered, "Mr. Mu, I usually see you as a polite person, and you are not shy when it comes to quarreling with others."

Mu Sheng chuckled helplessly and said: "I learned it from books and from the second young master."
