Zhi Xuan

Facing the county doctor's provocation, Zhixuan kept silent, causing everyone to make a wrong judgment, thinking that he would swallow his anger and take complete control of Zhixian before making a move.

Ten senior officials gathered together and talked about Zhixuan's actions, thinking that the rumors were exaggerated and that this son of the first line may not be as decisive as the rumors said.

"If that's the case..." A senior official said halfway, looking at the people in the room, the meaning is very clear, this kind of Zhixuan may not really be able to overwhelm the Mi family, plus he is not in harmony with the monarch, as long as he does not become a prince, he will exist for a day variable.

Bringing out 5000 people from the Western Capital City was just a trick, who said that there was no credit for the people around him?

Even though Zhi Xuan had no subordinates, Mrs. Liang still had a lot of staff.Like a loyal government order, serving him for many years may not be useless.

Just when the doctors were thinking about each other and discussing how to proceed in the future, a carriage appeared in front of the county doctor's house, accompanied by twenty soldiers.

Two servants jumped out of the car, each holding a torch.

The door of the car was pushed open, and the magistrate looked stern, waved his hand, and ordered the servant to come forward and call for the door.

In the middle of the night, without prior notice, it was reckless and rude to rush to the door.

Hearing the call to the door, the servant in the courtyard yawned and reluctantly asked who it was.The waiter didn't speak, just knocked on the door.The servant was annoyed, and was about to yell at him, when there was a loud noise, it turned out that the gate of the courtyard had not been opened, and the soldiers began to slam into the door.

There are mostly rammed earth buildings in the city, and the county doctor's house is no exception.

The courtyard wall is less than two meters tall, and you can see the courtyard on tiptoe.The courtyard gate is made of wood and is not very strong.Probably no one thought that someone would come and smash the door of the county doctor's house in the middle of the night.

With a bang, the wooden door was knocked open, the door shaft shattered, and a door panel collapsed inward, almost hitting the servant.

The servant was still in shock. When he saw the soldier rushing in, he opened his mouth wide, his voice stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word.

The loud noise alarmed the whole house, one after another candles were lit, and the servants with wooden sticks and torches rushed out. Seeing the situation in the courtyard, their footsteps stopped and their faces were full of horror.

The soldiers were fully armed, with long knives in their hands, and when they encountered servants blocking the way, they smashed them over with the back of their knives on the spot.

The government order passed through the front yard without hindrance.Just as he was about to climb up the stairs, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and the neatly dressed county doctor appeared in front of everyone.

Unlike in the daytime, the county doctor at this time has a calm demeanor, without any hint of arrogance.He was dressed in a black robe with a leather belt around his waist, a crown of hair inlaid with jade on his head, and a sword hanging from his waist.

The government order stopped, looked at his old friend whom he had known for decades, and said in a deep voice, "Do you know why I came here?"

"I know." The county doctor nodded, took off the sword and handed it over, acting very calmly, "There are five wooden boxes in the house, please take them away with you."

The government order waved his hand, and immediately a servant entered the inner room, carrying out five heavy boxes one after another.There is a brass lock on the box, and the contents inside are obviously very important.

"Don't open it!" Seeing that the servant was about to smash the lock, the county doctor hurriedly said, "You can only open it when you see the young master!"

The servant looked at the government order, who nodded and ordered the box to be carried onto the carriage.

"Let's go."

The county doctor didn't move, he stretched out his hands and said, "Bind me up, hold a torch and walk on the road, with great fanfare."

The magistrate frowned, shook his head after a while, and said, "Master, I will take you there, and I never wanted to humiliate you."

"I know." The county doctor said seriously, still insisting that the government order tie him up, and walk all the way to see Zhixuan.

Seeing that it didn't make sense, the government order immediately asked the soldiers to pick up the county doctor and send him to the carriage.The county doctor's face changed suddenly, and he wanted to speak, but the government order said directly: "Shut up!"

A piece of sackcloth was stuffed into his mouth, the county doctor couldn't make a sound, he could only glared at the government order, his eyes spit fire.

After the group left, all the servants in the mansion were guarded, and they were not allowed to make noise at will, let alone leave the mansion alone.The family of the county doctor was worried, but the matter had come to an end, and they could only resign themselves to fate.

The carriage passed through the city and soon arrived at Zhixuan's residence.

As before, the county doctor was taken off the carriage again, and the sackcloth from his mouth was not allowed to be removed until he saw Zhi Xuan.

More than a dozen copper lamps were lit in the room, but there was no trace of smoke.

The wooden floor is covered with animal skins, and a table is placed against the wall, with bamboo slips piled up on it like a hill.There are also some bamboo slips piled up on the ground, clearly seen just now.

Zhi Xuan was sitting by the table, his clothes had been changed, and his hair was still a little damp.

The government order brought the county doctor to him, carried several wooden boxes into the room, and respectfully reported the process of arresting him.The county doctor was sitting on the ground, when he met Zhi Xuan and looked over, his gaze was neither dodging nor avoiding, but he was not at all provocative, he was a different person from when he first met.

Zhi Xuan put down the bamboo slips, waved away the servants, leaving only the county doctor and the magistrate in the room.

"Tell me why you are like this."

Hearing these words, the county doctor's expression changed slightly, and without making a sound, he took out five keys from his body and presented them to Zhixuan respectfully.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Zhixuan signaled the government order to open the wooden box, and the box contained not gold, silver and jewelry, but silk cloth and bamboo slips.Some of the silk fabrics are old and the color has turned yellow.

The government order took out a few sheets and handed them to Zhi Xuan after confirming that there was no problem.

Zhi Xuan unfolded it face to face, and found that these were all letters, with similar contents, but the writers were very special, most of them were officials sent by the monarch.

"Is that the reason?" Zhi Xuan put down the silk cloth and asked again.

The county doctor took a deep breath, leaned on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Young master, I have been entrusted by Mrs. Liang, and I am guilty!"

"Get up." Zhixuan got up and went around the table, walked up to the county doctor, and said, "I know you are from the Eastern Liang Kingdom, and you were a member of the Liang family three generations ago, so don't come out later. For these years, you have governed the fief on my behalf. You have always been conscientious and conscientious, and the taxes and taxes have not been missed. There was hunting in the past, and the placement of soldiers and slaves in the future, and you have acted properly, which is really loyal."

Speaking of this, Zhi Xuan paused for a moment, and then continued: "I was indeed angry when I saw what you did in the daytime, and I suspected you. But you are too deliberate, and you seem to show it to everyone on purpose. I suspect there is something hidden, so I ordered you The government order brought you here."

After finishing speaking, Zhixuan bent down, held up the county doctor's arms, and sighed; "Can you tell me the truth?"

The county doctor was helped up by Zhi Xuan, insisted on worshiping again, and then said: "Young master is clear!"

It turned out that the county doctor's previous behavior was indeed intentional, just to show others and also to let Zhixuan arrest him.

The Marquis of Xiyuan had sent people to control Zhidi for many years, even if they withdrew, wouldn't they leave behind?

Zhi Xuan was right in thinking before, Xi Yuanhou did intend to give birth to the ambition of a county doctor, but this is not the only one.All the people left behind by Mrs. Liang have more or less encountered similar situations.

Some of them died unexpectedly, some made false claims, and some simply changed their course and turned to Xi Yuanhou.

Since Mrs. Liang's death, the county doctor has been in charge of the land.In the past ten years, I have encountered both temptation and sword.

At first, he did not lie to the letter from the visitor, until he heard the news that several concubines were all dead, and Gong Zixuan had no shelter anymore, then he suddenly realized what Xi Yuanhou was going to do.

There are fewer and fewer trustworthy people around him, and very few who can tell the truth. Even the family has become uneasy. The county doctor finally understands that he can't be tough anymore, he must live.

He has the blood of the Liang family, so unless he makes a big mistake, Marquis Xiyuan can't deal with him in the open.

Only if he is alive, and only if he is still a doctor of Zhidi County, can the stability of the fief be guaranteed, and only a ray of security can be given to Young Master Xuan in the western capital.

"In the past ten years, I have repeatedly done wrong things in order to save my life. Today, my son has grown up, smart and brave, and I have lived up to Mrs. Liang's entrustment. I will die without regret!"

The county doctor looked at Zhi Xuan, as if seeing Mrs. Liang who died young through him.

"There is a list in the box. I have collected it for many years. They are all disloyal people. However, they do not show it on the surface. Once they are killed, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of the rest. The son was sealed at the beginning. If the minister disrespects the son, the son will punish the minister!"

"On the day of my death, I confessed my crimes. These people are all my accomplices, and they should be killed. This way, the land will be wiped out, the disloyal will be terrified, and the loyal will return!"

After the words fell, the county doctor fell to the ground again.

The magistrate looked at the county doctor and was moved.His lips moved, but he didn't say anything after all.

Zhi Xuan didn't make a sound, and said after a long time: "I won't kill you."

"My lord, those who do great things must not be indecisive!" said the county doctor.

"That's not the case." Zhi Xuan said seriously, "I will not be soft when I meet someone who should be killed. But you don't deserve to die, at least you shouldn't be buried with these people."

Zhixuan threw out a list, which was not written by the county doctor, but by Fan Xu.

The two lists do not completely overlap, but [-]% of them are the same.Before leaving Western Capital City, Fan Xu not only gave him available talents, but also gave him another gift, which was this list.

With this list, it is further confirmed that what the county doctor said is true.A person who is willing to burn his life for loyalty should not die, let alone die so worthless.

The county doctor looked at the two lists, and when he heard Zhi Xuan's words, he had mixed feelings.

Seeing that he couldn't get up, Zhixuan simply sat across from him, and said, "I first arrived in the fief, and it was time for me to employ people. Since you have dealt with his generation for many years, you should know the situation I am in now."

"Young master, minister..."

"Don't talk, listen to me." Zhixuan interrupted the county doctor, and continued, "The king gave me three lands, and I need a lot of officials, but I don't have many trustworthy people around me. With you in Zhidi, there will be The current situation. It is really unpredictable how the situation of Feng and Liang will be, would you like to help me?"

"If you don't kill me, son, I'm afraid I will be looked down upon by others." The county doctor said.

"So what?" Zhi Xuan smiled lightly, "You can't be sure how things will turn out, and neither can I. How about seeing the aftermath?"

The county doctor stared at Zhi Xuan, looked deeply into his eyes, confirmed that he was not delaying or making excuses, finally settled down, took half a step on his knees, and bowed solemnly.

"Chen Luo Gong complies!"

Luo Gong's grandfather came from the Liang family and bestowed the land of Luo, so he took Luo as his family.

The Marquis of Eastern Liang married his daughter into Xiyuan Kingdom, and he accompanied him as the concubine of the family, just like a government order, serving as an official of Mrs. Liang.

Zhixuan has been in the western capital for these years, he and the magistrate, one outside and one inside, performed their duties conscientiously.The latter protected Zhi Xuan from growing up safely, and he stood firm in the fief to ensure that it would not fall into the hands of others.

After years of waiting, he also got lost, and he also went to a fork in the road, and he couldn't turn back as long as he took one step.Looking back on that year now, he has no regrets, only rejoicing and gratification.

All hardships come and sweetness comes, and the county doctor can't help crying.

The emotions that had been tense for many years suddenly relaxed, and Zhi Xuan understood what it was like.Wanting to comfort him, but not knowing what to say, he could only pat the other person on the shoulder and let him cry to his heart's content.

That night, the county doctor stayed at Zhixuan's home.

The next day, Zhi Xuan issued an order, which was also the first official order he issued after arriving in the fiefdom: take Luo Gong as the doctor of Liang County, and Ji Gao as the doctor of Feng County, and they will take up their posts in a few days.

Luo Gong was originally a doctor of Zhi County, so there is no need to say more.

Ji Gao is the only child of the Fan family, and he has just been in the weak year.Taking him as the doctor of Feng County is not only to repay Fan Xu, but also to test his ability.

In addition to this order, Zhi Xuan also issued a series of transfer orders, all the people recorded by Luo Gong on the list will go to Liangdi with him, and the official salary will be improved.It's just that both Zhi Xuan and Luo Gong knew that these people would not reach their destination, and they would all die on the way.It's easy to find a scapegoat. The Dirong tribes running around the border all wear signs, and it depends on which one Zhixuan wants.

After the matter was accomplished, Luo Gong cried a lot, and Zhi Xuan could speed up the construction of the new army, and then dragged him to the cool place to practice on the grounds of revenge, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After all, the purpose of his seal was to guard the border, and everyone in the court knew it.

As for Di Rong who was wronged, look at what you have done before complaining.Who cares about them if they don't jump around the border?If you think about getting something for nothing in other people's territory all day long, you must be prepared to be counter-killed!

The order was issued, causing waves among the doctors.

Zhi Xuan didn't intend to interfere in Luo Gong and Ji Gao's selection of who would be the assistant officer, just let them sign up for the list.In the next time, his attention will be devoted to Zhidi construction, and the first step is to build a house.

When he was in the western capital, he asked the government order to send craftsmen to build row houses first to accommodate the first batch of arriving people.Now, the construction is in full swing, and seven or eight row houses have sprung up, only ten miles away from Zhi County.

"The quantity is not enough. We will not build rammed earth walls for the time being. We will take the right road that crosses the east, west, north and south, separate four squares, and hire ordinary people to build houses. The craftsmen will be transferred to the military camp to build the camp and school grounds with all their strength."

"promise!"

"Send three people from the next doctor to help you. If you are slack and dissatisfied, let him come to see me."

"promise!"

The government order went away and quickly arranged manpower.

Zhi Xuan spread out the silk cloth on the desk, picked up a charcoal pencil and drew on it.

Spring plowing is over, summer planting does not require so many people, land reclamation also needs to be properly planned, it cannot be opened indiscriminately, the people brought in cannot be idle, and there will be chaos if they do nothing all day long.Fortunately, he had a lot of food in his hands and houses to build, so he simply sent them all to the construction site.

There is no need to worry about food shortage, you can go hunting.If not, you can go and rob Di Rong.

It doesn't make sense that the other side can rob me, but I can't rob me back.

It doesn't matter if Di Rong has no food, as long as he has cattle and sheep.In summer and autumn, cattle and sheep will grow fat and strong, which just contributes to the construction of Zhidi.

Will conscience hurt?

Zhi Xuan said absolutely not.

He is so ruthless, ruthless, ruthless, proud and confident towards the Di Rong tribe who has harassed the border for many years and frequently killed and destroyed villages.
