Chapter 704 Ask for Countermeasures
Guo Qishuai said: "Zou Haiping, I think you are qualified to be the county magistrate of Yangmei County, so I will tell the emperor right now."

"But, Lord Protector, I didn't take the imperial examination, I'm afraid I can't?"

"I haven't participated in the imperial examination before, that's all right, Zou Haiping, you can wait here with peace of mind. I will give you a red envelope if you order from my Taobao store."

"But, Lord Protector, I don't have any red envelopes."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a red envelope, you can send me a few teacups."

Eunuch Zhang said: "Master Hu Guo only needs a few cups, how can this work? I still have 100 taels of silver here, please ask Mr. Zou to pay the bill."

Zou Haiping took the money and said, "This...how can you be so mean?"

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Mr. Zou, you are protected by the Protector, and your future career will be limitless. This old slave's 100 taels of silver is considered a congratulatory gift for you."

Zou Haiping said he was sorry, but he took the money in his hand.

Guo Qishuai went to Emperor Zhao Ming and told Emperor Zhao Ming about Zou Haiping's situation. Emperor Zhao Ming felt that Zou Haiping should be given an official position, so he made him the county magistrate of Qipin and chose a date to take office.

After Guo Qishuai told Zou Haiping the news, Zou Haiping was very happy, and he knelt down to thank Guo Qishuai for his kindness.

Before leaving, Guo Qishuai told Eunuch Zhang to take good care of Zou Haiping in the officialdom, and he is leaving the palace now.

Eunuch Zhang didn't understand, and asked Guo Qishuai, "Mr. Protector, where are you going? How about I send a carriage to take you there?"

Guo Qishai said reluctantly: "Eunuch Zhang, the place we are going to is very special. Your palace carriage cannot go there."

Eunuch Zhang didn't understand, and said: "Mr. Protector, what is the place where you can't even go with a carriage?"

"This, I can't explain it clearly for a while, Eunuch Zhang, please take care."

"The Emperor is here!"

Eunuch Zhang and others all knelt down for the emperor, and Guo Qishuai also pulled Guo Pingping to kneel down. After Emperor Zhao Ming made everyone flattened, he pulled Guo Qishuai up and said, "Mr. People come to see off the protector.”

Guo Qishai said: "If I go back to the emperor, Wei Chen really has to leave. The emperor can come to see Wei Chen off. Wei Chen is very grateful."

"Duke Hu, please don't say that. Without the Duke Hu, I would not be where I am today. I will always remember the Duke Hu's contributions to the great fortune."

"Your Majesty, after my minister left, I would like to ask the Emperor to implement a benevolent government, to prosper the world, and to put the suffering of the people first. The people are water, and the king is a boat. Water can carry a boat and overturn it."

"The people are water, and the king is a boat. Water can carry a boat and overturn it. This sentence is very good, the historian..."

"Wei Chen is here!"

"You must write down the words of Lord Protector. I want all the officials to know that the common people are the foundation of the world."

"Wei Chen understands!"

Guo Qishuai said: "Actually, this sentence was not said by the minister, but a minister named Wei Zheng said it to Tang Taizong."

"Who is Wei Zheng? I have read many poems and books, but I have never heard of him. He must be a good minister, right?"

"Exactly, there is nothing he dare not say, as long as it is for the sake of the common people in the world, he will say it to the emperor."

"With such a good minister, I wish I could have more than a dozen people around me. In this way, my world will definitely be peaceful."

Guo Qishuai smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it is better for you to use less of such a person."

"Guo Hugong's words are wrong. Such a good minister, why did Hu Guogong advise me to use less?"

"Because these loyal ministers have a bad habit. They like to tell the truth, and they often say things that the king doesn't like to hear. The king likes to hear some pleasant words. Once there are unpleasant words, they will be angry. Take the one who dares to speak The loyal Wei Zheng said that he was about to be beheaded by Tang Taizong several times."

"Duke Protector, with good intentions, I have written down your words, and I promise Duke Protector that in my lifetime, I will never kill a minister who speaks to me."

"It is a blessing to the people of the world that the emperor can open up the world."

"But Lord Protector, there are many people in the main hall who are afraid to speak, and those who speak are those who report good news but not bad ones. How can I hear the truth if things go on like this?"

"Your Majesty, this is actually very simple. When you start, you can encourage those ministers who tell the truth. Your Majesty's preferences are the rules for the ministers to do things. For example, if the emperor likes to hear the truth, then all the ministers in the court will do it. Follow the truth. However, if Your Majesty likes to hear lies and good words, then many ministers will tell lies. Therefore, the Emperor must express dissatisfaction and displeasure with those who tell the truth, and express appreciation for those who tell the truth. Accept it, and if things go on like this, there will naturally be more people telling the truth.”

"I will ask the historian to write down every sentence of the Lord Protector, and I will read it every day."

"If the emperor can do this, the fortune will surely last forever!"

"Oh, by the way, Lord Protector, the Beiman tribe sent envoys just now. Most of their people have been infected with the plague, causing heavy casualties. The corpses of many common people have piled up like mountains. The Beiman tribe envoy said that as long as I can take action Give them assistance, give them antidote, they will definitely live in peace with this dynasty, proclaim their vassals for generations, and pay tribute every year, I summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures, but no agreement was reached."

"Is the court divided into two factions?"

"Exactly, a faction of peace believes that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to give a little favor to the Beimang people, and they will not invade the dynasty in the future."

"The other people advocate fighting, right?"

"Exactly, those people who are fighting the war believe that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as they are lucky enough to send troops to the dynasty, the Beimang people will be wiped out, and they will never be able to invade the border of the dynasty again."

"What does His Majesty think?"

"I think that the Xing Dynasty has just experienced a plague, and the people of the world need to recuperate and recuperate. It is not easy to start a war at this time. However, if the Beimang tribe is not eliminated, there will be endless harm. If they are allowed to recuperate, they will definitely cause trouble on the border again. . I am in a dilemma, and I would like to ask the Lord Protector to make it clear."

Guo Qishuai said: "Your Majesty, the Beimang people often invade our borders, which is really infuriating, but the Beimang people are also people, and there are many people who love peace. The border is safe."

"I wish to hear it!"

"Your Majesty can hand over the antidote, but there are conditions. The Beiman clan must let the warlike patriarch step down. If they don't agree, the antidote will not be given. In addition, they will support a peace-loving team. Overthrow the current patriarch, but luckily the border will be safe."

"Wonderful! Wonderful! What the Huguogong said is very true. If I send troops to defeat the current patriarch, it will definitely hurt the vitality. In addition, the Beiman tribe has a vast land and few people. It is not easy to wipe them all out. , and our dynasty does not like the territory of the Beimang people, so it is the best policy to let the Beimang people govern themselves."
