Ten years later

Li Yuan couldn't sleep at all right now, so he wandered casually in the governor's mansion—although he had no self-consciousness, but he knew that Zhao Nuo's family lived in the backyard, so he couldn't set foot in it.

At this moment, the third watch has passed, and Li Yuan was surprised to find that the lights in the government office were still on.Perhaps it was because of the hot weather that the doors and windows were not closed, so Li Yuan came closer and saw that Zhao Nuo was still working at his desk.

Zhao Nuo looked up and saw him, and quickly got up to salute Li Yuan: "I have seen the prince."

Li Yuan returned the salute and praised: "Zhao Mingfu is diligent."

"There are a lot of affairs, and there is a shortage of manpower. I was delayed for a while at night, and then..." Zhao Nuo fell silent in the middle of the explanation. He just made a slip of the tongue and called the reception of Li Yuan a delay, fearing that Li Yuan would make a note of it.It has only been a few months since the last time Li Lian went to question Li Yuan on behalf of Li Lian. Even if Li Yuan didn't hold grudges, he didn't dare to offend Li Yuan again.

Fortunately, Li Yuan didn't pay attention to his slip of the tongue. After sitting down, he smiled at him and joked, "It's just the beginning, and the Ming government has complained about the lack of people. What should we do in the future?"

Before coming, Li Lian had told him about the arrangement, and everyone thought it would be a big shock to kill and detain nearly 200 people, but Li Lian thought it would be a big change of blood, and completely rectify the bureaucracy in Henan and the customs. .In order to prevent someone from having trouble, he was sent to stabilize the army - as long as the military power does not move, there will be no trouble.

Zhao Nuo's expression didn't change when he heard the words that might shake the world, obviously it was early, and he just said: "I have to trouble Wang Ye and Mr. Lin Ge to ask His Majesty to send someone to fill in the gap quickly."

Li Yuan felt displeased when he first heard the words "Prince and Elder Lin Ge", and the entanglement and confusion just now seemed to come out all of a sudden.Why is he always mentioned together with Lin Ziqing?If these people didn't mention it a few times, Ziqing would no longer have such thoughts.Now he doesn't even know how to get along with Lin Ziqing

Li Yuan said viciously: "The Zhao Ming Mansion has done a good job in this matter. His Majesty once wanted to give you two hundred bolts of silk and five hundred catties of gold, plus a doctor of justice, and a license to serve purple." He deliberately paused, seeing Zhao Nuo's face Unchanged, as if this matter had nothing to do with him, he continued, "But I persuaded him to come down."

Zhao Nuo was not as disappointed as he expected, instead he bowed to him and said with a smile: "Then I thank you, my lord. I am stupid, but I also know the truth that a tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Now I am an official. It is the target of public criticism, if you receive this reward again, you will lose a few years of life."

"Zhao Mingfu's words are very clever," Li Yuan clapped his hands and laughed, and his face changed in the next moment, "It's just that there is an insinuation that the Lord is acting unwisely."

Zhao Nuo didn't dare to speak, how could he?Suddenly being charged with such a big crime, he wouldn't believe it if it wasn't because Li Yuan held a grudge.

"It's just a joke, you don't have to be nervous." Zhao Nuo made him unhappy, and he replied verbally, which was considered to be offset.Li Yuan still remembered that Zhao Nuo was an important minister of the court, so he should not be too frivolous, lest he would feel resentful, so he praised again, "The current posture of the Fujun is quite different from when he was in Beijing."

This sentence Li Yuan said sincerely.When he was in Beijing before, he only thought that Zhao Nuo was a clever civil servant.After Zhao Nuo moved to Yuzhou, a series of things were done neatly and skillfully.When he saw him today, he felt that Zhao Nuo was a bit of a frontier official who was not angry but mighty, and he really treated him with admiration after three days of farewell.

Zhao Nuo cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness is too famous."

Li Yuan thought about Lin Ziqing's previous statement that he could do things, and Li Lian used his smooth evaluation, and said to Zhao Nuo: "Since the governor knows that he is 'the target of public criticism', he is not afraid, and he has done so many outrageous things."

"Your Majesty has an order, even if it is going through fire and water, how dare a courtier refuse it." Zhao Nuo smiled and said, "What's more, the birds are exhausted, and now the birds are not exhausted, so the lower officials are naturally not afraid." Zhao Nuo's words are really true He is bold, and if he is heard, he can be impeached for a mockery of the government.He dared to say it in front of Li Yuan because he was sure that Li Yuan would not touch him now—as for the future, there was no evidence left, and it would be fine if he refused to admit it.

Li Yuan didn't expect that he dared to say such words in front of him, so he couldn't help being a little surprised, and asked: "You really don't worry at all that Jiulang will..." After this matter is over, he will kill you to make peace public outrage.

He was still putting hats on Zhao Nuo just a moment ago, and now he is asking this question, which is really inappropriate. Besides, even if Zhao Nuo is worried, how can he speak to him?

Zhao Nuo keenly noticed that Li Yuan had changed his address, and said to Li Yuan, "Your Majesty is benevolent." He is not someone who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges.

Even if Li Lian really wanted to behead himself in the end to appease public anger, so what?Before coming to Yuzhou, Li Lian had already promised that he would never embarrass Ah Ran and the child.To do such a big thing for Li Lian, he has one life, so it doesn't matter if he dies.

Which scholar does not want to establish a life for the people and create peace for the world?He, Zhao Nuo, naturally has the heart to govern the country and the world.

Traveling southward for [-] miles from Lingzhou, you can reach Hejian County in Yingzhou after a half-day journey on horseback.

He grew up in Hejian, and he grew up listening to the reputation of Duke Cheng Li Yuan.After Li Yuan "died in battle", he watched the northern border fall with his own eyes. At that time, people in Hejian were panic-stricken, and people with connections fled south one after another.He was only a small official at the time, so he dared to speak up to his superiors about military affairs.

The remonstrance finally came into Li Lian's hands. Li Lian didn't think it was disobedient, but praised him greatly, and lifted him to his side.He saw with his own eyes that Li Lian ate and lived with the soldiers to inspire the army, and finally regained most of the lost land in the northern border; He opened his own private treasury to fill the national treasury; he also saw Li Lian chatting with him, wanting to rectify the administration of officials, want to reform the tax law and military system, want to fight against the outside world, and want to make the world peaceful.

He knew that he had met the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, and he was willing to be a sharp knife in Li Lian's hand, to overcome thorns and thorns for him, so as to create a prosperous and prosperous world.

Li Yuan looked at the starlight in Zhao Nuo's eyes, and suddenly felt that Zhao Nuo and Jiu Lang were the ideal match between the monarch and his ministers.After three days of farewell, I should treat each other with admiration. I have missed it for ten years, and how much I have missed.He took a deep breath and said to Zhao Nuo: "I will go to the army tomorrow morning. Chengzhi is here in the state capital, so the Ming government can handle things with peace of mind."

Although the governor can manage the army, but when he first arrived in Yuzhou, he didn't care much about the state capital, and the army was beyond his control.He was also afraid that he could not do well, Li Yuan went to the army, and he had a prime minister in charge here, so he didn't have to worry about any constraints.Zhao Nuo got up, and solemnly saluted Li Yuan: "Thank you, my lord."

"I didn't arrange this," Li Yuan replied, "I wish Zhao Mingfu great success."

Li Yuan glanced at the distant sky, and the east was white.In less than an hour, the sun will break through the clouds.
