After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1430 Candidates

As expected, King Yao slowly drank half a cup of warm tea and put down the cup: "I heard that the Regent has also been working late into the night at Youhu Villa recently, and he is still writing at midnight. He is really hardworking."

Qingyang had to be precise in her reporting of officials, and every shot must hit the mark without any mistakes or she would face the crazy questioning of the officials in the court. She couldn't leave all the meticulous work to her subordinates, and she had to review each one herself.

How could the mystery in the copy be hidden from the sharp eyes of this old official in the officialdom?
Qingyang sat up straight and bowed to the west: "Do your job. The emperor has appointed me to supervise all officials, so I will naturally do my best to root out the country's pests and restore a clear and honest state of affairs and people's livelihood."

Her words were so powerful that King Yao almost forgot that she was the main culprit in the Lingxu City elixir of life case.

Almost.

Qingming? Open-minded?
Haha. They are all shrewd and calculating. Why are they pretending to be righteous here?
Prince Yao nodded slowly, but still asked directly: "So, how many officials will the Regent report next?"

Qingyang thought about it carefully: "As for the civil officials, there are seven with irrefutable evidence, and the number of military generals is less, two. However, the latest evidence continues to emerge, so the number may change."

She added: "I believe that after these nine people are prosecuted, the atmosphere of the entire Yao country's officialdom will be completely renewed!"

This Yao Wang is old, but he has a bad patience. Unlike the human officials in Lingxu City, he can play Push Hands with her to the end.

After all, he is still a barbarian from the Golden Plains, and he is still a little short of the right skills.

The number she reported made King Yao secretly shocked:

Not too much, but too little!

So far, Qingyang has only arrested the small fry in the officialdom. As the saying goes, if you pull out a carrot, you will also bring out the mud. Yao Wang is not completely ignorant of the things going on under the hood. If Qingyang continues to arrest them like this, dozens or even hundreds of them will be no problem.

But she only mentioned nine people now, and specifically reminded him that after these nine people were arrested, there would be a new atmosphere in the officialdom of Yao State.

What does it mean?
This is enough for nine people, and they must be staunch royalists!
He is the ironclad support of King Yao.

With Qingyang's current skills, the entire Yaowang court is already uneasy; if she is allowed to report these nine senior officials, not to mention how turbulent the entire officialdom will be, the power under Yaowang's hands will be greatly reduced, and people's hearts will also be restless.

If he couldn't even protect his own senior officials, his subjects would have no choice but to surrender to Qingyang.

King Yao would never allow this to happen.

Xue Zongwu's death was really not at the right time. If he was still blocking the source, how could there be so many troubles now? Yao Wang sighed in his heart, but he had to be pleasant on the surface: "The regent is fair and just, and everyone can see it. But there are priorities, and the birthday celebration is imminent, so it is not appropriate to be too turbulent."

If he celebrated his birthday while Qingyang arrested someone, it would be too disrespectful.

People are in panic, who can feel at ease to wish him a happy birthday?

Qingyang was moved: "Your Majesty is right, a birthday should be peaceful and tranquil, um..."

She pondered for a few breaths, then changed the subject: "By the way, I heard that Luodian Kingdom also sent people to watch the ceremony?"

She changed the subject, and King Yao was not surprised. Qingyang came to see him today, and he must have something to ask for.

Request for request.

We've talked about family matters and exchanged witty remarks, so now the real purpose is about to be revealed, right?

Prince Yao hummed, "Lord of Luodian sent his brother Qu Ruhai here. He also went to Lord Xue's residence yesterday to pay his respects. He was well-mannered, but he wore a red belt with him, which made the Xue family very angry."

The Yao Kingdom also regards gold and red as happy colors. When Qu Ruhai went there wearing a red belt, the Xue family members showed their good manners by not stopping him outside.

"The Luodian people are still so unruly." Qingyang shook his head. "Now that General Xue is gone, the Luodian people are even more unscrupulous. In the northern border of Yao State, I wonder who can take over the burden that General Xue shouldered before he died?"

King Yao's heart skipped a beat. Here it comes.

It turns out Qingyang liked this!
Although Xue Zongwu was notorious during his lifetime, he guarded the northern border for many years and indeed managed to keep the enemy out of the country, so Yao State did not have to worry too much about the safety of the northern frontier.

Now that Xue Zongwu is dead, who will fill the defense gap in the northern border?
As soon as he received the news of Xue Zongwu's death, King Yao

I'm considering this issue and have basically decided on the candidates, and am planning to issue an edict.

Qingyang happened to come at this time, isn't it a coincidence?

King Yao was actually a little annoyed in his heart. He should have issued the order earlier and not given Qingyang the opportunity to take advantage of it.

This old woman has a really sensitive sense of smell.

At this point, he could only reluctantly say, "The candidate has been decided, Yuwen Yong!"

Qingyang said, "Someone from the Yuwen family."

"He is not among the two generals you want to report, right?" Yao Wang said to her, "Confirm it first, so as to avoid embarrassing things later."

"Not here." Qingyang smiled, not taking it seriously at all. "Among the many noble families in Tianshui City, the Yuwen family is considered to be very well-behaved. Otherwise, the king would not be able to safely hand over the exclusive business to it."

She went on: "I have a suggestion."

Here it comes. Prince Yao cleared his throat and said, "Regent, please speak."

"Yuwen Yong is a good candidate, but he is young after all, and not as respected as Marshal Xue. If he goes to the northern border, the people of Luodian will not accept it, and there will be some unrest for a while."

King Yao's eyes flickered slightly. Although Qingyang had his own calculations, this statement itself was not wrong.

When Xue Zongwu was alive, he and the Luodian people were old rivals and knew each other well. Now that a new border general has been appointed, given the temperament of the Luodian people, they may really come out to test the strength of the new opponent.

There is no acquaintance without fighting. Isn't the balance between major powers ultimately achieved through fighting?
No matter how reluctant King Yao was, he could only say this: "Then, what do you think of the Regent?"

Speaking of the matter, the regent sent by Beijia does have the right to supervise the appointment and removal of officials and generals. Qingyang's opinion is reasonable and legal.

Qingyang had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and immediately smiled: "It's difficult to support the country alone, why not send another general to guard the border, and Yuwen Yong can watch over each other and support each other!"

She also knew that if she suggested replacing someone, King Yao would definitely not allow it.

How could he allow Qingyang's candidate to guard the north alone? Wouldn't that put the safety of the country in Qingyang's hands?

"Oh? What the Regent said is...?"

Qingyang slowly uttered four words: "General Chongwu."

"Reinvigorate the army? No way!" King Yao raised his gray eyebrows, "He is a Pixia. If he is asked to lead troops to guard our northern border, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the people!"

No? Qingyang smiled: "Your Majesty, do you know where I am from?"

The King of Yao remained silent.

Qingyang is a very famous person, so King Yao has of course inquired about all her information and knows that she is not from Beijia.

"I am from the She'er tribe. I was offered to the Lingxu Palace when I was young to accompany the current emperor and the crown prince at that time. Later, I was noticed by the Qing Palace National Master and accepted as his last disciple." She said softly, "The She'er tribe lives in the north of Beijia, where it is bitterly cold all year round. Until now, they have been nowhere to be found."
