Wang Mu'e suddenly chuckled.
Is that it?
Considering the relationship between the two women, this was originally a very easy matter, or something that only required one sentence.
Wang Mu'e nodded without any hesitation: "No problem!"
Kong Lingyue said with a smile: "That's enough. Talking about gratitude between us is too foreign. Mu'e, being the governor of Xuzhou is an opportunity, but it is also a great test. You must seize it and be careful. "
Wang Mu'e said confidently: "I am prepared for this. When I first took office in Donghai County, countless people looked down on me, and even more despised me. However, I still achieved outstanding results."
"I will let everyone know that women are not inferior to men."
"Currently I'm a woman disguised as a man."
"In the future, I will completely reverse this situation and transform back into a woman, letting people know that women can also govern Xuzhou."
Wang Mu'e had longing in her eyes and said, "It would be great if in the future, countless women from Da Gan could work openly and be officials."
Kong Lingyue smiled and said: "This day will come, because His Majesty has been pushing forward this matter. For example, General Wei Fengqing, General Jiang Yuhuang, and even other women have such opportunities."
Wang Mu'e said: "I hope so."
The two women talked about government and military affairs, and gradually turned to personal issues. The conversation was very smooth.
Xuzhou's government affairs were taken over by Wang Mu'e and quickly got on the right track. Orders were issued from the governor's office and began to change Xuzhou's governance.
Wang Mu'e did not crack down on collusion between government and businessmen right from the start.
She is not a political douchebag.
On the contrary, Wang Mu'e has rich experience and proficient fighting methods. The current stage is mainly to establish a foothold. He needs to promote groups of confidants and place his own people. Only when he has a sufficient basic base can he make drastic reforms.
Wang Mu'e acted steadily, and Zhao Shan felt relieved. He left Fan Wujiang to guard Xuzhou, and then set off with his people and started on the way back.
On this return trip, Zhao Shan had to take Kong Lingyue, Wei Fengqing and others back to Yanzhou first, and then pick up Ye Qingxuan and Jiang Yuhuang before returning.
By the way, Zhao Shan investigated the local situation.
After Huo Dan became the governor of Yanzhou, he has been vigorously promoting reforms and rectifying Yanzhou. Although the interval has not been long, some changes have occurred.
When Zhao Shan entered Yanzhou, he encountered no more thieves or bandits, nor did the government set up private checkpoints. Generally speaking, everything was normal.
All the way to Changyi County, Zhao Shan met with Huo Dan before returning with the pregnant Jiang Yuhuang and Ye Qingxuan.
As the group walked back, the news had already spread back to Luoyang.
Zhuge Shang was extremely excited when he learned about the emperor's triumphant victory. This time he attacked Yanzhou and also captured Xuzhou, Yuzhou and Qingzhou, making the Daqian territory more and more complete.
Under the current structure, only Yizhou in the southwest corner remains.
Although Yizhou is in a closed state, Daqian is completely unified and its strength is unprecedentedly strong. When Yizhou cannot resist the general trend, it will naturally surrender.
No need to attack.
Furthermore, Zhuge Shang presides over the government affairs of the court, and he is not just an abacus. He has his own governing philosophy and his own direction of governing.
Zhuge Shang had already considered Yizhou.
When Zhao Shan led his men to conquer east and west, but never attacked Yizhou, Zhuge Shang had already made a plan, arranged for people to sneak into Yizhou, and constantly planted hidden stakes to ensure that the imperial court planned Yizhou in advance.
Zhuge Shang knew that Zhao Shan was coming back, so he first arranged for people to report the news to the queen and others, and then arranged for people to spread the news that the emperor had triumphantly returned and recaptured the four states of Qing, Xu, Yan, and Henan.
The news spread out of the imperial city and caused waves in Luoyang.
Countless people were excited.
Countless people rushed to tell each other.
There were even more loyal scholars who shed tears for Zhao Shan to regain the land of the four states. Daqian has declined severely in recent years. Countless people have been displaced and scholars have no chance to show their ambitions.
With Zhao Shan, Daqian solved these problems.
At least, it enables scholars to make full use of their talents.
After everything was arranged, Zhuge Shang called Zhang Xun, the current second-in-command in the court.
Zhang Xun succeeded Xiao Yan as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, because Zhang Xun had the ability and means to firmly establish himself in the Ministry of Personnel, and he could also assist Zhuge Shang. Zhang Xun did a very good job in handling many things.
Just like this, Zhuge Shang is becoming more relaxed now, unlike when Xiao Yan was here before. Xiao Yan was old, lacked energy, and did not have enough ability, so he could only follow Zhuge Shang's arrangements.
Now is the best.
Zhang Xun has been busy during this period, and his temples have become a lot grayer. She said, "The Prime Minister has summoned me, what can I do?"
Zhuge Shang got straight to the point: "The reason why I invited you here is that news came back from the front line. Your Majesty has solved the problems on the front line and all four states have surrendered."
"We got the news before that Yuzhou surrendered, and we also arranged for someone to go to Yuzhou to serve as governor."
"Now, everyone surrenders."
"Currently, the unification of the imperial court is imminent. I think your majesty's next step is to solve Yizhou first. During this period, Zhang Shangshu began to go all out to investigate the news and collect as much information as possible."
Zhuge Shang ordered: "When Your Majesty returns in triumph, we can begin to attack Yizhou. The best result is to defeat the enemy without fighting and solve Yizhou without spending a single soldier."
Zhang Xun nodded and said, "Prime Minister, please rest assured that this humble duty will be completed as soon as possible."
Zhuge Shangdao: "Zhang Shangshu should not stop looking for Dongchang just because Gao Yuan is on the front line. It involves the unification of Daqian and the stability of Daqian. I think we can contact Dongchang and use Dongchang's intelligence network."
Zhang Xun nodded again.
Dongchang is the emperor's private power. It has always belonged to the emperor alone and does not interfere with the imperial court.
However, if we want to plan for Yizhou now, we can rely on Dongchang.
The two discussed many matters currently in the court, and after everything was settled, Zhuge Shang was free again.
The prestige of Zhuge Shang, the prime minister, is also increasing.
The emperor continued to fight, and he was responsible for the rear. To put it bluntly, Zhuge Shang supported everything in Zhao Shan's rear house. Without Zhuge Shang's hard work, at least the front line would not always be short of money and food.
"Report!"
Just at this moment, there were footsteps again.
An attendant entered and saluted: "Prime Minister, I have the latest news from Yangzhou."
Zhuge Shang took the letter from the soldier's hand and browsed it quickly. When he finished reading the news in the letter, his eyes looked a little serious.
Japan arranged for envoys to come to see him.
Said it was a matter of discussing trade.
However, according to the news sent by Yan Xuanqing, the governor of Yangzhou, after Japan's defeat, it never surrendered. Instead, it was intensifying its troops and constantly gathering personnel from all parties to prepare for war, as if it wanted to fight again.
Under such a premise, Japan actually wanted to trade.
Do you have any ideas?
Or do you have any ambitions?
Zhuge Shang and Zhao Shan had cooperated for so many years, and they had already figured out the character of their emperor. They wanted to control all the surrounding countries, and they also wanted to destroy Japan.
At the same time, Zhuge Shang also knew the nature of the Japanese country. These Japanese people were arrogant and self-righteous. They always coveted big officials and wanted to swallow the elephant. They would never give in because of their previous defeat.
Maybe it's a test?
Maybe preparations for war?
After thinking a lot, Zhuge Shang suppressed his thoughts for the time being, and arranged for someone to send a message to Yan Xuanqing to further intensify his search for news about the Japanese country, and make sure to find out the situation of the Japanese country.
While the court was preparing continuously, Zhao Shan stopped and walked all the way. The team he led passed Xingyang, passed through Hulao Pass, and was already heading to Luoyang.
