After visiting Prince Yun's Mansion and confirming that the back house area was indeed built, Zhao Jun asked Li Yi to arrange for a large group of people he brought with him.

Except for the three hundred royal guards left to guard the palace, the rest were arranged to the military camp in the east of the city closest to the palace. The rest of the craftsmen, dancers, maids, etc., except for some left for the rear house, the rest were temporarily resettled. He settled in a private house on the street where the palace is located and waited until the construction of the palace was completed before entering the palace.

Of course, craftsmen and other skilled trades were gathered together the next day to join the work of building the palace, trying to speed up the construction of the palace.

When arranging the escort, Zhao Jun also saw Cheng Cheng, the current defense envoy of Yunzhou County, who looked like an ordinary general with a strong build and a rough face.

But judging from his eyeballs that kept rolling around after seeing Zhao Jun when he saw how young he was, Zhao Jun knew that this seemingly honest and honest general was not really an honest person, he was just doing what he did. It's just superficial.

After a few casual words of encouragement, he returned to the palace again.

I just arrived in Yunzhou City today. Although the construction of the royal residence has been completed, there are still many things that need to be added.

But this Yunzhou City is already short of supplies. On the way here, I spent a long time in the trading area, which was full of cattle, sheep and horses. I didn't see a few decent shops. I definitely couldn't count on buying anything.

Fortunately, considering the situation here, Zhao Jun personally selected and bought most of the things when they were in the capital and brought them over. It’s not that servants can’t buy them, but it’s just that they may not be able to buy what they like, so Zhao Jun simply did it himself. Went to pick.

The rest that I didn't buy were bought on the way here.

In the first three days after entering the city, Zhao Jun was busy setting up residences.

It wasn't until the afternoon of the fourth day that Wang Huaien found Li Yi with Zhao Jun's instructions and informed him that at the county governor's house the next day, Zhao Jun was going to summon the leaders of all the forces in Yunzhou City, and no one was allowed to be late!

Li Yi didn't dare to neglect, and quickly informed the news.

So, the next morning, early in the morning.

The usually deserted lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion became noisy. The heads and heads who had gathered here just a few days ago gathered again and started talking in low voices when the rightful owner had not yet arrived.

On the family side, Chen Lixin was still the representative who found Li Yi to inquire about the news.

"Master Sheriff, do you know why the prince summoned us today? Is there any information that can be revealed so that everyone can have a clear idea?"

Li Yi just waved his hand and said:

"Clan Chief Chen, don't be joking. When the prince arrives in Yunzhou City, he must meet all the pillars of Yunzhou City. As for whether the prince has any other purposes, this is not something that I, a small county guard, can know. .

If Patriarch Chen is curious, he can just ask the prince directly when he arrives. Why should he embarrass me, a little county guard? "

Li Yi's perfunctory and sinister words immediately made Chen Lixin just want to roll his eyes. Seeing that he couldn't ask about his strength, he could only return to his seat.

As soon as he returned to his seat and sat down, the heads of the other three Wang, Sun and Li families immediately came over to inquire about the situation.

Chen Lixin could only say Li Yi's words with a gloomy face. Everyone's face dropped. After thinking for a moment, they reconfirmed the offensive and defensive alliance and began to wait quietly.

Compared with the heavy mood on the family side, the tribal leaders were very lively, and they were all speculating about what King Yun was like as a member of the royal family of the Song Dynasty.

Whether he was eight feet tall and strong enough to carry a cauldron, or whether he had three heads and six arms and could use twenty-eight kinds of weapons, whatever it was, they started discussing based on the imagination of the prairie people.

Officials from the county magistrate's office who were supposed to be sitting with Li Yi, but who were somewhat different from each other, gathered around the county magistrate Liu Xishan and whispered about possible accidents in today's summons.

As representatives of Yunzhou County's military strength, the generals of the Yunzhou garrison surrounded the defense envoy Cheng Cheng in silence and did not say a word. As troops, they were too sensitive. The commander told them before they came that today They can only bring their ears but not their mouths, otherwise no one can protect them if something happens.

No matter what happens today, their garrison cannot make any statement.

They also all understand their own sensitivity. Today they only brought their ears but not their mouths, so they seemed extremely quiet.

Just as everyone was waiting patiently, the time gradually came to near noon, and they did not see today's protagonist, King Yun.

The tribal chiefs couldn't hold it any longer, and their complaints gradually started to sound, but the rest of the tribe remained motionless. They all knew that there was only one person who could have caused the current situation, and this was King Yun giving everyone a warning.

Just wait patiently.

Soon, under the comfort of the family forces, the tribe gradually calmed down. After waiting for a while, when the stomachs of everyone who came in the morning started to growl before they even had time to eat breakfast, today's protagonist finally came. Too late.

"King Yun is here!"

Under the eager gaze of everyone, following Wang Huaien's announcement, Zhao Jun walked in from the outside with light steps, walked straight to the top seat and sat down firmly.

At this time, everyone also reacted and saluted quickly:

"We meet His Highness King Yun. His Highness King Yun is a thousand years old. How are you doing, Your Highness?"

The standard Song Dynasty bow with raised hands, everyone bowed down.

Zhao Jun picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, his brows suddenly wrinkled.

The tea has gone cold.

Wang Huaien on the side immediately asked the standing maid to get a cup of hot tea with a hint of his eyes.

After Zhao Jun took a sip of hot tea, he cleared his throat and asked everyone who was already bowing and sweating to get up.

"My king is very safe, you don't need to be polite."

After saying that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to their seats to sit down and relax.

Everyone sat down for a moment. Zhao Jun just sipped the tea in his hands without saying a word. Seeing this, Li Yi hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands and said: "My lord, you have just arrived in Yunzhou County and you must not be too familiar with everyone in Yunzhou County." , please allow me to introduce you to you."

Zhao Jun nodded slightly and replied lightly: "Speak."

Li Yi immediately introduced him.

He first came to the county magistrate Liu Xishan and introduced: "Your Majesty, this is Xiaguan's colleague. Yunzhou County Magistrate Liu Xishan handles all the civil affairs of Yunzhou County together with Xiaguan."

Liu Xishan immediately stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, Liu Xishan has met the prince!"

Zhao Jun only glanced at him lightly, nodded, and said as if unintentionally: "Are you Liu Xishan? Yes, yes, I heard that the post of Yunzhou County Lieutenant has been vacant since you took office. You hold both jobs, and you do it in an orderly manner. You are not overwhelmed by the additional positions, and you are indeed a talented person."

Cold sweat immediately flowed down Liu Xishan's forehead. If others didn't know, how could he not know what was going on?

Is it true that no one is willing to take the post of county lieutenant in Yunzhou County, or they are afraid to take it? He knows what is going on better than anyone else.

Now, who can say clearly whether Prince Yun's words are praising him for his ability, or whether he is saying that he has seized power and exceeded the law.

Tick ​​tick tick, droplets of cold sweat quickly fell on the wool carpet in the hall, and soon soaked a small area where Liu Xishan was standing.

There was silence for a moment!
