After He Ai appeased Liu Conglan's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he took a group of Jinlan Academy students recommended by Emperor Mingjing, Mr. Mohu and the others on the road together to Yungui, a high road in the mountain. place.

No matter how remote the land of Gui, no matter how dangerous the environment is, it is an inseparable important territory of the Zhou Dynasty, and it must not be lost. For these students in the academy, they can follow along Opportunities to do internships are very rare.

The bustling realm is very peaceful all the way. When the carriage and horses drive to the sparsely populated area, there are almost frequent chaotic situations along the way, and I have encountered mountain bandits many times.

It was not until this time that everyone knew that He Ai not only had a mouth that could kill people but also had a good martial arts.

Even the group of students who came out of Jinlan Academy were all in good health, and their skills were no worse than those of escorting officers and soldiers.

The arrangement that Emperor Mingjing made to ensure that He Ai could safely reach the land of Yungui also began to be exposed at this time. It turned out that in addition to the escorts of the brigade, there were also Some elite soldiers who set out on the road ahead of time dressed in civilian clothes to help open the way, secretly protect them, and were also responsible for collecting all kinds of evidence and sending them back to Beijing in time.

Unbeknownst to He Ai, who was far away from the capital, every time their team encountered an accident, one or several officials in the court would be sacked.

Emperor Ming Jing's resolute and resolute style of behavior, which was completely different from the past, surprised all the officials in the court, and at the same time, they were also shocked.

Those people don't know their identities and origins, but they can always present their ministers and relatives' criminal evidence of corruption and abuse of private power. When he fell, the family in-laws behind him fell.

Until then, those ministers who were taken down for illegal acts by their family members, even though they were not found to have any major problems, remembered that when He Ai first entered the court, he once did things, what was said.

No one thinks these are related to He Ai. After all, He Ai has been very high-profile since he entered the court. Attention, daily words and deeds are completely exposed in front of people.

For the past two years, in addition to blocking their ministers in court meetings every day, he stayed in the Senior Minister's Pavilion. When the emperor didn't need him, he would rather stay in the Senior Minister's Pavilion or the Hanlin Academy. Read some files, or shoot arrows on horseback in Yumawanli, and borrow a lot of books from Yushu Pavilion all the year round, and never do any superfluous things.

Even the other cronies of the emperor, outside of work, He Ai never walks with them. Regarding He Ai's division of the clan, Cheng Shengyi also made a clear distinction with his relatives.

After more than two years of layout, finally two years later, some ministers or nobles who had malicious intentions towards He Ai tried to send people to do something wrong on He Ai's mission. Start the first round of cleaning.

Emperor Ming Jing also officially lifted the veil that he had always been gentle and negotiable, and had always been kind to these ministers, which made people in the court panic.

Successfully arrived at Wuyang City, the prefectural city of Yungui, without any risk. The officials in the prefecture, as well as some honorable gentlemen, under the leadership of Bijia Wu Yueze, waited in the Yamen of the Fucheng. Outside to welcome the arrival of He Ai and his party.

Seeing that He Aina is still clean and tidy, with a white and beardless young face, and high-quality clothing, even after a long journey, and looking at the hundreds of people accompanying him, Wu Yueze and others immediately In my heart, I have some judgment on the identity and origin of this new Shangguan.

Being respectful and yet enthusiastic, He Ai also showed a high and natural look, walked straight in, shook the fan in his hand and said casually.

"Don't be polite, no wonder the location of the prefect of Yungui, no one wants it. It's so remote, the road is so difficult, and it's extremely poor!"

Under the leadership of Wu Yueze, after walking into the lobby, He Ai sat down directly on the road without hesitation, and then casually pointed at the seat below with his fan.

"You can also find a place to sit, don't be cramped, first introduce yourself, and then talk about the situation in this state capital. If you don’t know them well, I have to trouble you everywhere, I have to please you first!”

"Qingsong, go to the best restaurant in this city, book a few tables, sir, I will give you a grand banquet today, thank them for their hard work!"

Qingsong led the way, but Wu Yueze and others quickly declined modestly.

"Don't dare to be, dare not be, it is the honor of the subordinates and others to serve the Lord of the House, and it is the responsibility!"

Afterwards, under the leadership of Wu Yueze, starting from the gentry, those people introduced themselves one by one, and He Ai, who was sitting on the chair, nodded.

"Well, I don't hide it from you, I have been walking in front of the imperial court before, and I have never been a local official here, so I am inexperienced, please be more considerate, these people around me are also saints. I was worried that I would not be able to do things, so I specially selected him from his disciples, everyone, please cooperate with their work when you come back!"

This unremarkable and generous attitude, and the attitude of speaking at will, make Wu Yueze and others feel at ease, the first meeting between the two sides, the atmosphere is very harmonious, a sumptuous banquet After eating, the host and guests enjoyed themselves.

They assign tasks.

Led by the two of you, Zhang Wuquan and Han Xun, I will arrange you to the guard house, Xin Shaoyang, you will lead someone to directly take charge of the barracks!"

As the prefect of the border state, He Ai's power is far greater than that of the general government.

There are many ethnic minorities in the Yungui Domain, and rebellions occur from time to time. The local armament has always been invested heavily, which is a piece of fat. When He Ai came up, not only did he immediately go to the guard house in charge of the garrison He dispatched people, and directly took over the barracks, and carried out a drastic inspection and rectification, which immediately aroused the vigilance and dissatisfaction of the local snakes.

"Master Wu, this new Master He, I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems, not a good person!"

The former soldier, who had just been slapped down, complained of dissatisfaction.

Wu Yueze, who sat high on the head, asked lightly, "What are you busy with these days, Mr. He?"

The receptionist replied quickly.

"He asked people to search for local specialties everywhere, and also released rumors, saying that it was a high price reward, and people went into the mountains to find some more distinctive things, whether it was edible or not, whether it could be used as medicine, Anyway, as long as he likes it, and he likes it, he can receive the reward, other than that, he will be riding a horse and wandering around all day after the government office is finished!"

Wu Yueze looked at the former military secretary, "I wrote down your affairs, I will make arrangements for you later, this Mr. He has a history, you all be careful, don't act rashly, Get into his hands, otherwise, I may not be able to keep you guys!"

"But the military house and the guard house, two important places, should we just give up?"

Wu Yueze patted the desk in front of him and said.

"It's not like you didn't see the momentum when he came, what's that called, it's called not to lose, that's the attitude above!"

After he finished speaking, he softened his tone and said like an explanation.

"He didn't even bring any family members, and he won the Sacred Heart. He came here, just to go through the motions and mix up the qualifications. Show your intentions, if you want to fight with this kind of person, he will be more serious with you, fight against you, follow him, be more patient, he will stay in such a poor place for a long time, and he will Find a chance to leave!"

Hufang Cheng said, "We understand the truth of what the adults said, but we reported the flood this year, and it said that the disaster relief funds were brought by Mr. He and the others. , but they haven't mentioned it all the time, how can this be good?"

"Confused! The more you are like this, the more you should not mention it, what is the money!"

"Yes, yes, yes, my subordinates understand, adults, please rest assured, subordinates must not mention it!"

After knowing that every spring and summer, mudslides occur here and there, and some casualties and losses will be caused, but they are far less serious than those reported by the officials, He Ai knows it.

Run for disaster relief.

"How about it! I, Wu, have always been accurate when looking at people. One can only be used because of his ability to please the sage. He has no experience in managing politics and is very happy. All of you are so scared and nervous, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan! You must serve this group of people for me, and if anyone dares to act against him, I will not forgive him lightly!"

"Yes, please rest assured, sir, we will follow your instructions, and we will beat and scold them, and never resist!"

On the way to bring people to the disaster relief, Mu Changrong said worriedly after reporting to He Ai the information they had collected recently.

"Sir, they have repeatedly used the mountain bandits and the floods to ask for money from Chaoli over the years. I'm afraid they are not small!"
