While inspecting the Yamen, Song Xuan stood at the gate with memories in his eyes.
This place carries so many memories for him. The happy days of fishing with his salary seemed to be getting further and further away from him.
The recent killings have made him almost vomit. It's not easy to earn this salary.
Walking into the yamen, Song Xuan greeted a group of third-class Xuanyi guards who were hanging around in a familiar manner. Hearing Brother Xuan's voice, he felt a little envious in his heart.
If you don't have talent in martial arts, you can actually live a happy life like them hanging around in the yamen, going to Goulan after work to have a drink and play with girls.
Arriving at Zhao Dezhu's office, Old Zhao was yawning and reviewing documents while drinking wolfberry tea.
Seeing Song Xuan coming, he pushed another cup of brewed wolfberry tea and said with a smile: "Would you like some? I heard that you and the eldest girl of the Lu family have been lingering in Qingzhou for more than ten days. Are you exhausted?"
Song Xuan patted his chest and said, "Uncle Zhao, at my age, do I still need these things?"
"You don't understand this!" Zhao Dezhu chuckled, "Tonics for the body are regardless of age. Take more supplements when you are young, and you will know how useful it is when you are old."
Song Xuan nodded, picked up the tea cup on the table, and drank silently.
"Uncle Zhao is right. I have no other good qualities except that I like to listen to other people's opinions. I have always accepted the experience of people like you with an open mind."
"Haha, you kid, you are really interesting!"
Most young people are embarrassed when talking about this kind of thing. Even if they really can't do it, they are stubborn and refuse to admit it.
It's really rare to see someone as thick-skinned and shameless as Song Xuan.
After drinking half of the tea, Zhao Dezhu rolled up the tobacco leaves and lit one for himself, "The finest tobacco leaves from Songzhou, do you want one?"
"Then let me try it!"
Song Xuan also rolled one, and Zhao Dezhu lit it for him. Then in the office, the two of them started to smoke.
"How does it feel?"
Song Xuan smiled and said, "That's all. It's not interesting."
"This thing needs to be passed through the lungs, otherwise it would be a waste to inhale it. Forget it, you are now at the age when your mind is filled with women, so it is useless to tell you this."
After smoking a cigarette, Zhao Dezhu lowered his voice and said, "Did Mu Taoist die in your hands?"
Song Xuan nodded, "With one sword blow, he was reduced to rubble. Don't worry, he won't have a chance to swindle his body."
Zhao Dezhu suddenly laughed, "How did you feel after killing him?"
"I immediately felt the urgency to break through, and gathered the Flower of God before the battle."
Zhao Dezhu breathed out a sigh of relief, "It seems that you have obtained this luck, and the road in the future will be much smoother."
Song Xuan put down the tea cup, with a mysterious smile on his face, and used the method of transmitting sounds into secrets to transmit the voice into Zhao Dezhu's mind.
"Uncle Zhao, tell the truth. Qingzhou Dragon Veins was chopped off. You weren't behind it, right?"
Zhao Dezhu did not hide anything, and said calmly: "I'm just talking about control. In fact, the commander and I know exactly what Mu Daoren and the others are going to do.
It's just going along with the flow and ignoring it.
After all, it's rare for someone to be wronged enough to kill a dragon to make someone else's wedding dress. This kind of good thing doesn't happen once in hundreds of years. "
Song Xuan nodded clearly, not surprised at all.
He had never thought that Xuan Yiwei was a great and upright organization. There were many things that happened secretly. Mu Taoren was tricked into making a wedding dress for himself, which was in line with his understanding of Xuan Yiwei.
"Next, what will happen to Qingzhou? What will the court say?"
Zhao Dezhu waved his hand, "It hasn't been decided yet. The civil servants think that they should be killed as a warning. No matter who joins the Qing army, they will be beheaded in public."
As for the generals..."
Song Xuan smiled and said: "Does the general group think it's too much?"
"Those people really feel that it is too much. Killing the dragon veins and plotting rebellion is the first time since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Just beheading is too simple and is not enough to deter those with ulterior motives in the states.
Therefore, many generals believed that all the people in Qingzhou who had their heads shaved should be killed directly. After killing them, they immigrated from various states, including the aborigines of Qingzhou! "
Damn it!
Even Song Xuan, a living king of hell who kills without blinking an eye, took a breath when he heard this.
Qingzhou had a population of over one billion, and Huang Taiji slaughtered nearly half of it with a hair-cutting order, leaving at least hundreds of millions of people left.
As a result, all those officials were killed with one mouthful.
Hundreds of millions of people will kill without batting an eye. In their eyes, the common people are probably just a series of numbers.
If this string of numbers seems to be an eyesore, then wipe it out and replace it with a string that is pleasing to the eye.
Song Xuan's face turned gloomy. He had never been very fond of the civil and military officials in the imperial court of Zhou Dynasty. Today, he had refreshed his three views.
"What do we, Xuan Yiwei, think?"
Zhao Dezhu shook his head, "Generally, state affairs like this are handled through consultation between the emperor and the officials in the court, and we Xuanyi Guards will not interfere.
Your stay in Qingzhou is not short. Do you think the people there are still loyal to Zhou? "
Song Xuan nodded and said: "After Huang Taiji's massacre, the people of Qingzhou now yearn for the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty more than anyone else."
Zhao Dezhu nodded thoughtfully and glanced at Song Xuan, "You killed the wealthy nobles without mercy, but you were quite soft-hearted towards ordinary people.
But since you have spoken, I will talk to the commander about this matter. "
As he spoke, he chuckled and said, "We Xuanyi Guards are said to be cruel and ruthless, but compared with the officials in the court, we can all be considered good people."
He picked up an appointment letter and handed it to Song Xuan, "Logically speaking, you have made great achievements, and you are qualified to be promoted to a first-class Xuanyi guard.
However, the commander and I feel that it is best for you to go through the necessary procedures at the local level, so that your resume will be more complete, and it will be more logical to take over the position of commander in the future.
There is a saying in the court: If you don't visit the state capital, you won't join the cabinet. The same is true for us Xuanyi Guards. Without perfect experience in the local area, we cannot be used as commanders. "
Song Xuan took the appointment letter and took a look at it.
"Inspector of Xuanyi Guards in Songzhou?"
"Our Xuanyi Guards have such a position?"
"some!"
Zhao Dezhu found a map, opened it and said: "But it is not a permanent position, it belongs to the special commissioner of the Xuanyi Guard Agency, with the title of Thousand Households, but the power is above that of Thousand Households.
As the supervisory envoy of Songzhou, thousands of households in the entire Songzhou territory are within your supervisory jurisdiction.
Recently, there have been quite a few thousands of households in Songzhou, and they are not of the same mind as us. It just so happens that you have time now and need enough local experience, so go to Songzhou. "
