Zhao Shan looked at the solemn Wang Mu'e and said loudly: "Wang Mu'e, I will appoint you as the governor of Xuzhou, and you will be fully responsible for the governance of Xuzhou."
Wang Mu'e was excited and kowtowed: "I accept the decree!"
Zhao Shan said: "Get up."
Wang Mu'e stood up and solemnly expressed her position: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. After I take office, I will definitely complete the rectification of Xuzhou and eliminate the problems in Xuzhou. But to rectify Xuzhou, it is definitely not enough to rely on me to issue policies and crack down on collusion between officials and businessmen." ."
Zhao Shanxiao asked: "What measures do you think should be taken to cooperate?"
Wang Mu'e replied: "Local stability requires, in addition to the integrity of officials, the army."
"As the saying goes, Buddha educates the world, Bodhisattvas are enlightened, and Vajra's eyes are angry. To implement new policies, and policies that harm vested interest groups, there must be strong support."
"Therefore, I request your Majesty to arrange for the army to be in charge."
"With the deterrence of the army, I can be invincible and unfavorable. Without the army, the government and businessmen collude. Once there are private soldiers arranged by businessmen to pretend to be bandits and loot, or kill indiscriminately, I will not be able to stabilize the situation."
Wang Mu'e's eyes were wise and she said, "Your Majesty, please be clear about this."
After hearing Wang Mu'e's words, Zhao Shan admired him even more. It is Wang Mu'e's intelligence that can stabilize the situation and change Xuzhou. He smiled and said: "I agree to your request."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Wang Mu'e respectfully thanked him.
With Zhao Shan's strong support, Wang Mu'e has full confidence.
While she was in Donghai County, she encountered many collusion incidents between government officials and businessmen. Wang Mu'e tried her best to solve them and even suppressed them vigorously.
Only in this way can business in Donghai County take off.
In fact, it is not that she has not encountered complaints. There are also big families who complain to Zhao Yue, saying that she is arbitrary. Because Wang Mu'e could pay enough taxes and send a large amount of fiscal revenue to Xiapi, Zhao Yue turned a blind eye.
Donghai merchants also took action against her, but Wang Mu'e solved them all.
It can be expected that things in Xuzhou will be more complicated.
However, Wang Mu'e has full fighting spirit.
She was sure of winning.
Zhao Shan did not leave Wang Mu'e to have a meal or anything like that. He waved his hand and Wang Mu'e took the initiative to leave and prepare to take over as the governor of Xuzhou.
Xuzhou currently has no governor.
When Zhao Yue was here, he concurrently held this official position and controlled everything in Xuzhou. Zhao Yue is dead, Wang Mu'e will take over smoothly and will not encounter any problems.
Zhao Shan thought about being in charge of Xuzhou and ordered someone to call Yue Feipeng.
After Yue Feipeng entered, he saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Yue Feipeng, pays homage to your Majesty."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Yue Qing, sit down and talk."
"I accept the decree!"
Yue Feipeng sat down respectfully.
Zhao Shan asked: "Yue Qing, how is the encirclement and suppression of local bandits in Xuzhou going during this period?"
Yue Feipeng explained: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Langya County was the first to completely surrender. After all, Ge Yuan cooperated with the reorganization and everything went smoothly. Now the involved places such as Donghai County, Xiapi County, and Guangling County have all surrendered, and the overall progress is expected to be steady. It is expected that by the end of the year , we can completely complete the suppression of bandits in Xuzhou. Generally speaking, Xuzhou can eliminate enemy troubles."
Zhao Shan nodded and said, "During all previous battles, have any generals with outstanding abilities emerged?"
Yue Feipeng thought for a while and said: "During this battle with Zhao Yue and the subsequent local encirclement and suppression, some generals also emerged."
Zhao Shan further clarified his intention and asked: "Is there anyone who can be in charge of the local area? I want to arrange for someone to be in charge of Xuzhou and be responsible for Xuzhou's military affairs."
Yue Feipeng's eyes lit up.
This is opportunity.
He is in charge of Jizhou and does not need to hold the official position of Xuzhou.
However, Yue Feipeng has many generals under his command, and these people need opportunities. If he can recommend a general to serve as the chief general of Xuzhou garrison, it will be very helpful to him and it will also bring glory to his face.
Yue Feipeng replied: "Your Majesty, if you want to be in charge of one party alone, it would be most appropriate for me to submit to Fan Wujiang."
"Fan Wujiang?"
Zhao Shan murmured and asked: "How old is this person? How is his martial arts? What is his background?"
Yue Feipeng said without thinking: "Your Majesty, Fan Wujiang is thirty-six years old this year. He has strong martial arts skills and is a tiger general in the army. His family's Kaishan Sixteenth Sword Technique is very brave and he is best at charging into battle."
"If we compare quantitatively, Fan Wujiang is two points weaker than Chen."
"Fan Wujiang was born in the Fan family in Xingyang, but the Fan family is not a big family, it is considered an ordinary poor family. He has been educated since he was a child, and he is better able to take charge of military affairs. He is not a simple tiger general."
Yue Feipeng took the initiative and said: "If we are talking about taking charge of one party, Fan Wujiang is the most suitable candidate."
Zhao Shan said: "Summon Fan Wujiang for an audience."
"As you command!"
Yue Feipeng immediately agreed and arranged for his personal followers to convey the order.
The soldiers went to convey the order, while Yue Feipeng reported the affairs in the army, as well as the follow-up plans, and even his arrangements to evacuate Xuzhou and return to Jizhou.
Zhao Shan listened carefully and gave instructions from time to time.
Zhao Shan trusted Yue Feipeng.
When the country was in crisis, Yue Feipeng was still loyal to the court, and he still had perseverance and integrity. This is how he showed his loyalty in times of crisis.
Not long after, Fan Wujiang came in a hurry.
Fan Wujiang was eight feet six inches tall. Although he was not as powerful as Zhou Huhou and Li Jiye, he was a capable general in the army. He was tall and straight, walked like the wind and stood like a pine tree. He cupped his fists and said, "The last general, Fan Wujiang, pays homage to your majesty."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "Looking at his appearance, he is indeed a tiger general."
Fan Wujiang raised his head and rubbed his neck and said, "Your Majesty, in terms of actual combat, the last general is also a tiger general."
Yue Feipeng scolded: "Fan Wujiang, don't be reckless."
He quickly looked at Zhao Shan and explained: "Your Majesty, Yue Feipeng has a somewhat straightforward personality. However, he is very rigorous in doing things. He can lead troops to fight, even enforce orders and prohibitions, and does things in a very orderly manner."
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said with a smile: "If a general in the army has no temper, what kind of tiger general is he? It's good to have courage and ideas. What I'm afraid of is that you don't have courage and ideas."
The conversation changed and Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "Fan Wujiang, I order you to serve as General Huwei, sit in Xuzhou and be responsible for suppressing bandits in Xuzhou. At the same time, assist Xuzhou Governor Wang Mu'e to stabilize the local chaos."
"The last general takes command!"
Fan Wujiang replied loudly.
My heart also became excited.
His position as General Huwei is naturally inferior to that of Yue Feipeng. After all, his resume and military exploits are insufficient. But sitting alone on one side is a good start.
Zhao Shan waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's organize the army."
"I will retire at the end!"
Fan Wujiang bowed and then left.
After Zhao Shan and Yue Feipeng talked, Yue Feipeng stepped back and Zhao Shancai was free. Government and military affairs were arranged, so Zhao Shan naturally had nothing to worry about.
While Zhao Shan was resting, Wang Mu'e went to the governor's office, but did not take the lead in handling government affairs. He only set up a framework and arranged for someone to invite Kong Lingyue.
Kong Lingyue and Wang Mu'e came from the same school and had a very good relationship.
When two sisters meet, they naturally have a lot to talk about.
After the two chatted for a long time, Wang Mu'e suddenly said: "Lingyue, you are now His Majesty's woman. How do you feel? Is everything different now that you have become the Imperial Concubine?"
Kong Lingyue's eyes were playful and she said with a smile: "Is it possible that our Lord Governor is also in love with you? If you are willing, I can introduce you to him."
Wang Mu'e said solemnly: "I have been married to the country, no matter how hard it is to marry my family. In this life, I just have to do what I am doing well. It is enough to be able to govern Xuzhou well!"
"You..."
Kong Lingyue shook her head.
She did not interfere with Wang Mu'e's decision. Everything was a personal choice.
Kong Lingyue said seriously: "You have political ambitions and passion, and now is indeed the best time. Your Majesty is the eternal Holy Lord, and he wants to create an unprecedented career. This is also your opportunity. A capable person, Mrs. There are too many, but capable people still need to meet the right time, place and people before they can ride the wind."
Wang Mu'e smiled and said: "I have to thank you. It was your recommendation that gave me the opportunity."
Kong Lingyue said: "You want to thank me, how are you going to thank me?"
Wang Mu'e said: "What do you want to thank me for?"
Kong Lingyue rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "I am married to Your Majesty, and I will be pregnant with a child sooner or later. When my son is born, will you be his godmother?"
