Zhi Xuan

In ten days, Zhao Hao rectified the city and eliminated corrupt officials.

Four bloody human heads hung on the city wall, and they could be seen when entering and exiting the city gate, and all the viewers were terrified.

The merchants in the city implement the New Deal, and the succeeding officials are always alert to themselves, and must not repeat the same mistakes and be hung on the city wall like their colleagues who have gone the wrong way.

The caravan traveling back and forth was well-informed, and when they learned that Zhao Hao killed four people on the day he entered the city, they all gasped.

The name of Nan Zhaohou's killing god has been further promoted, and it has been widely spread in the grassland, and it has been heard from all over Xuancheng.

Compared with Haocheng, the composition of Xuancheng's personnel is more complicated.

In the city, there are not only people from the Xiyuan country, but also clansmen, people from the country and ordinary people who have defected.There are also a large number of grassland Di Rong, whose loyalty has been steadily increasing after Zhi Xuan brushed their faces.When encountering foreign enemies, the leader rushed to the battlefield first. Regardless of the combat effectiveness, the vigor and courage of fighting are amazing.

After Zhao Hao inspected the grasslands and rectified Haocheng, the next stop was Xuancheng.

Officials from Xuancheng received the order earlier and actively cooperated with Zhao Hao in the inspection.

The decree came from Xidu City, written by Zhixuan himself, and officials of all sizes in the city are not allowed to violate it.

Headed by the Nishihara Junior High School doctor who was stationed in the city, everyone hurriedly sorted out the books to ensure that the order was clear and the words were clear, so that they could be understood at a glance when they opened the bamboo slips.

Xuancheng and Haocheng were established at the same time. Compared with the latter, the rules and regulations of the former are stricter, comparable to severe punishment.

It may not be used to it at the beginning, not only the officials in the city, but even the city residents feel restrained.However, as time passed, everyone gradually discovered that there is nothing wrong with strict laws.

There are laws to follow in everything, and order can be established as quickly as possible, and those with ulterior motives can be cleaned up.As far as the development of the city is concerned, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Before Zhao Hao's arrival, the clan officials in the city had been purged long ago, and anyone who was corrupt and petty would be punished according to the law.

Those who commit minor crimes will be punished with minor punishments, and even if they lose their official positions, they will be able to stay in the city anyway.Without being expelled, the interests of the family can be preserved, and the previous efforts will not be in vain.

All those who committed serious crimes will be sent to prison, and their families will also be implicated.

Due to the limitations of the doctor's rank, he could not arbitrarily impose a severe sentence, and the relevant evidence was sent to Xidu City for Zhixuan to review.Whether to kill or exile, or to be punished otherwise, Zhi Xuan personally decides.

After three rounds of rectification, Xuancheng's atmosphere has been completely renewed, and there is no more corruption of ink.

The benefits given by Zhi Xuan are large enough, and the means of punishment are merciless. Once a big mistake is made, the most severe punishment will be imposed. Officials don't want to make efforts to come to naught, let alone be abandoned by the family, and they can do daily self-examination , In the face of temptation, he is not tempted at all.

The king has hills and valleys in his chest, but he is a bright king who is not born in the world, and his grand plans and hegemony are not a problem.

Following in Junshang's footsteps, the huge land is at your fingertips, so why bother to reach out to the fatal place with unreasonable thoughts.

Knowing that Zhao Hao is coming to Xuancheng, the officials in the city acted very quickly. They did not conceal anything that could be shown, and left blank the key financial points.

From the perspective of the clan, Zhao Hao is the monarch of Southern Zhao. For the sake of his own country, it is impossible to completely open up Xuancheng affairs to the other party, let alone have a clear view.

The marriage alliance is solid, but the world is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that there will be no conflicts due to interests in the future.Out of their own standpoints, they must be on guard to avoid laying hidden dangers for the future.

The clans believe that the wise king will not blame him.

Although the strategy is determined, the means should not be too blunt. It is necessary to achieve the goal without being rude to Zhao Hao.

After some discussion, the doctor who was in charge of transcribing deliberately left blank on the bamboo slips to let the other party know that they had concealed some things.These details have no impact on the conduct of survey officials, but they cannot be displayed to the outside world.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the Chinese doctor wrote a memorandum, explaining the cause and effect clearly, and handed it over to Xidu City for Zhixuan to read it himself.

This kind of approach is to cut first and then play, and it is a taboo to encounter a suspicious monarch.

Zhi Xuan is just the opposite.Seeing this memorandum, not only did I not feel that there was anything wrong, but I seriously reflected on myself, my life went so smoothly, my vigilance became weaker day by day, commonly known as drifting away.

"We must reflect." Zhi Xuan put down the bamboo slips and said to himself.

It's not that Zhao Hao will have a different heart, but that he seeks his own government in his position, and before making any decisions, he must think as a monarch.If you can't be perfect, try to think carefully, and don't let your emotions dominate your rationality. This is the foundation of being a king.

After careful consideration, Zhixuan issued an order on the same day to greatly praise the officials of Xuancheng.

He must let the clans see his attitude clearly, so that they can continue to twist together and go all out to open up the outside world without twists and turns in the middle.

In Zhi Xuan's eyes, the countries in the Central Plains are actually one.

In the perception of the world today, the vassal states are independent, and the domestic clans also have their own interests, and they will not be completely open to alliances.

Zhi Xuan must consider the reality, and cannot make a brain-slapping decision on the fly.

If the stride is too large, it is easy to pull the crotch.

I don't want to do bad things with good intentions. In some cases, I have to compromise with the clan rules.

Of course, the situation will not remain the same, it just takes time to subtly change with gentle means.

The time is not yet ripe for smashing directly with a hammer.Such a method is out of date, and it will not do him any good for Xiyuan Country or even the entire Central Plains.

Zhixuan's decree was sent out, the matter of Xuancheng was put aside for the time being, and then he started to worry about the rumors again.

Yang Qi is very clever, grasping Zhi Xuan's attitude, in order to quell the rumors, he took the initiative to visit the betrothed family, hoping to hold the wedding as soon as possible and welcome Mrs. Zheng into the family.

Originally thought that when the news was released, all kinds of speculations would be self-defeating, and the rumors would naturally subside.I don't want the effect to be completely opposite, the rumors not only did not stop, but added fuel to the fire, instantly exploded to another level.

"Must be trying to cover up!"

New guesses appeared, and everyone felt more and more reasonable.

In the early court, facing all kinds of gazes from Qing and doctors, Zhi Xuan's headache was about to split, and Yang Qi was also silent.

The situation is getting out of control, the more explanations, the darker the description, and the more denials, the more it is considered that the relationship is not right.

Zhi Xuan argued that there was nothing to argue, and he burst into tears.

The majestic Marquis of Xiyuan made the enemy frightened and gritted their teeth, and finally lost in front of the gossip of the people of Xiyuan.

Tired, destroy it, whatever you love!

Zhi Xuan simply lay flat and started the countdown to Zhao Hao's arrival.

Seeing Zhi Xuan's change of attitude, lying down without any burden, Yang Qi's mind went blank for a moment.

The monarch is lying flat, what should he do?

It's not kind, it's unreasonable!

Faced with Yang Qi's accusing eyes, Zhi Xuan spread his hands, but he did nothing.The gossip is too strong, and the people of the country are too gossipy, and they cannot be punished by legislation, let alone send troops to suppress it.

Yang Qi was speechless and wept, feeling extremely aggrieved.

The two didn't notice for a while, and the eyebrows and lawsuits didn't avoid everyone, so that the officials exchanged glances, and people who didn't believe the rumors at first also suspected in their hearts. Could it be that the rumors are true, and that Junshang and Yang Qi really have an ulterior relationship?

Zhi Xuan never imagined that such a signal would be sent out by a brief eyebrow-eye lawsuit.

But money is hard to buy, I knew it earlier.

This is the reality, don't struggle when you lie flat.If you continue to lie down, there is no guarantee that a miracle will happen.

The situation cannot be reversed, so Zhi Xuan can only plunge into the sand, comforting himself like this.

At the same time, Zhao Hao had set off from Haocheng, and hurried to Xuancheng.Xuancheng officials made all preparations and waited to welcome the king.

The merchants in the city are becoming more and more lively, and there is an endless stream of caravans going from south to north. The commercial tax alone can fill the treasury, which is enough to cover various expenses in the city, and there will be a lot of savings.

"I heard no, the Marquis of Southern Zhao will arrive soon."

There are many pedestrians in the shop, one after another, shoulder to shoulder, raising their sleeves to form a cloud.

There are row upon row of buildings on both sides of the street, with obvious Nishihara style.Occasionally there are two or three newly erected tents, but because there are too many queues for the market and there are not enough shops to rent, we can only set up booths in front of the tents.

Several servants struggled through the crowd carrying bulging sacks, exchanged wooden signs in front of the shop, and hurried back to the post house in the city.

Yuan Ying, who was going north, took advantage of Xuancheng to replenish supplies in the city, and had already stayed for several days.

When entering the city, Yuan Ying didn't make much fanfare, deliberately concealed her identity, and took the initiative to rent a posthouse.

The clans in the city were well aware of her arrival.Since she did not reveal her identity, everyone was happy to pretend to be confused, and only sent people to keep an eye on the posthouse, and did not take any action.

The servants returned to the workshop and immediately reported the news they heard.

Yuan Ying just nodded, said "Got it", and continued to bury her head in the bamboo slips, checking the collected materials, and found that there were still many gaps.

After leaving the Western capital, she realized how narrow-minded and self-righteous she was.

No wonder her mother was disappointed with her, brother Ming no longer got close to her, and elder sister also sent letters from Zhongdu City, scolding her hard between the lines.

Losing asylum, Yuan Ying deeply understands the warmth and coldness of human relationships.The identity of a female son does not have greater significance, and it is really difficult for her to move forward.

Without the gifts from her mother and Brother Ming, she might not be able to go out of the border, let alone go deep into the grassland.There is also the elder sister, the letter reprimanding is true, and there are two large carts of supplies with the letter.

On that day, Yuan Ying was crying while holding the bamboo slips.

She was extremely regretful, but there was no turning back.

Fortunately, Jun Shang is willing to give her a chance, and going to Mobei is her only way out.

After thinking it over, Yuan Ying pulled herself together, lowered her posture and asked her retainers for advice, and began to collect supplies vigorously, preparing to replace all the silk and gold and jade she carried with her with grain, tools, cattle and sheep.

Heeding the advice of her retainers, she entered Xuancheng in a low-key manner and traded a group of slaves in the city.

These slaves are mainly from the grasslands, and they are not good at planting or herding, but they are all strong and strong, which is very useful for building fiefdoms.

When the maid reported the rumors in the city, Yuan Ying had just counted the number of slaves and thought it was not enough, so she planned to buy another batch before leaving, at least five hundred.

"Master, I heard that your majesty is very close to the Patriarch of the Yang family. I don't know how much the Marquis of Nanzhao heard about it." Seeing that Yuan Ying had no interest in the rumors in the city, the maid rolled her eyes and told the rumors about Zhi Xuan and Yang Qi.He also deliberately mentioned Zhao Hao, the provocation in his words couldn't be more obvious.

Yuan Ying paused, raised her head from the bamboo slips, and her eyes fell on the maidservant with a trace of coldness.

The maid didn't realize it, she thought she had a plan, and continued to instigate: "The Marquis of Southern Zhao has no concubine, so he must be lonely. Going north is getting more and more desolate, the Lord should think more about it."

In the maidservant's impression, Yuan Ying was reluctant to go north and was easily provoked.These words are heard, and nine out of ten will be tempted.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, a knife and pen flew towards him.

A cold light flashed, her cheeks were in severe pain, and the maid stroked the sore spot, her hands were bright red.

"Ah!" The maidservant screamed, the pain deepened, and the blood flowed more and more.

Yuan Ying stood up, kicked her down, and said sharply, "Come on!"

The servant outside the door came in at the sound, Yuan Ying pointed to the maid and said, "One hundred sticks."

Hearing this, the injured servant girl was frightened out of her wits, ignoring the pain, she got up and begged for mercy.

The blood-stained hands stained the corner of her skirt red, Yuan Ying was furious, and said sharply, "Drag it out!"

The maid was forcibly dragged away, gagged, and executed directly in the courtyard.

Yuan Ying's chest rose and fell violently, she grabbed the bamboo slips and threw them on the ground, her anger became more and more intense, and she was already beyond control.

Her father is a monarch, and her mother is a daughter of a big clan. She is the daughter of the original clan, and her pride cannot be trampled on!

She may be stupid, she may be self righteous, but she will never lose her pride.If you dare to instigate her to do such things, death with a stick is too light, and deserves a thousand cuts!
