Just as Gao Jong was convening the meeting, Yang Guang also met with Xiao Yu and Yang Gongren from the Department of Integrity in a side hall of Jinyang Palace.
Yang Guang briefly explained the situation in Youzhou to the two of them, and then said to Xiao Yu: "Shi Wen, you were formerly the Cao Cao of the Liangzhou Prefectural Mufu. You have contributed a lot to the smooth governance of Liangzhou. I think you were greedy for local officials. We know the methods very well, we also know how to crack them, and we even know what kind of people meet the needs of the people."
"Now King Wei has killed all the officials in Youzhou Prefecture, and your time to become an official is not short. Do you have any recommendations for Youzhou Governor Shi and Prefecture Sima?"
"Saint, in the words of King Wei, the officialdom is an extremely tragic, bloody, and turbulent place. It is also an extremely bright mirror, which can not only reflect the evildoers, but also show the iron-clad people. Loyal and brave men. Weak people and weak-minded people often turn traitors midway, and the Gao Shikai, Wang Shishi, and Wei Xianzong you mentioned are undoubtedly this category. But the real fierce warriors dare to face the miserable life and face the pain. Blood. A true warrior will move forward even more vigorously. Therefore, I believe that the key to selecting an official is to be honest, self-sufficient and dare to do something; secondly, to know the people's livelihood and people's conditions and have outstanding ability." Xiao Yu made the opening remarks, He bowed his hand to Yang Guang and then said: "Sage, I am not nitpicking or cynical, but although the high-ranking officials in the court are capable and talented, most of them have lost their original intention and the courage to do what they do. In order to show their courage, no matter what they do now, they have to leave room for themselves and their political opponents. This reservation also shows that they cannot be fair and just and cannot govern officials according to the law."
After saying that, Xiao Yu added: "This is the case for all ministers and ministers today. My brother Jian is no exception."
"That makes sense!" Emperor Yang Guang nodded and asked, "Then who do you think can be the governor of Youzhou and the state's Sima?"
Xiao Yu cupped his hands and said without hesitation: "Sage, I think I can be the governor of Youzhou!"
Yang Gongren's face darkened after hearing this; he never imagined that Xiao Yu would be so shameless and seize the opportunity to introduce himself.
"Tell me your reasons!" Yang Guang became interested when he heard what his brother-in-law said. Xiao Yu's tone and momentum were exactly the same as those of Yang Ji, Yin Shishi, Dugu Sheng, Yao Junsu and others, but they Although "arrogant" is a bit "arrogant", they are loyal and upright. They never talk empty words or fight uncertain battles.
"There are three main reasons." Xiao Yu said: "First of all, most officials in the past and present have spent extravagantly in order to manage connections and make friends with powerful people. When they became poor and destitute, they plundered the people, plundered the army, and extorted bribes; if there were widespread complaints among the people, then He turned his troops into bandits and robbed passing merchants. I am not short of money and connections, so naturally I would not do such a stupid thing that would destroy my future!"
"Secondly, I am a relative. I did not threaten others, and others are very lucky. How can I dare to threaten you?"
"Third, I dare to fight and risk my life. I can't guarantee it. But at the very least, I can protect the Youzhou officialdom established by King Wei and prevent it from causing another mishap."
Having said this, Xiao Yu bowed to the ground and said solemnly: "Sage, it is for these three reasons that I think I am suitable for the history of Youzhou."
】
"You have said so, then I will appoint you as the governor of You!" Yang Guang said his decision, then took a deep look at Xiao Yu and said, "I hope you will do what you say."
"I will definitely do what I say, please rest assured, saint!" Xiao Yu didn't have the slightest joy in becoming a high official in his heart, but only a heavy sense of mission and responsibility.
"Well!" Yang Guang looked at Yang Gongren and said in a deep voice: "Gongren, after Shi Wen leaves office, you will be the doctor of the Integrity Department."
"Thank you, saint!" Yang Gongren solemnly responded.
"Shi Wen, you have completed the handover of the affairs of the Department of Integrity and taken office immediately!" Yang Guang gave another instruction to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu said, "Sage, Gongren actually knows everything I do, so there is nothing to settle between us!"
Yang Guang was stunned for a moment and said strangely: "You mean, you plan to take office immediately?"
"Since I have become the governor of Youzhou, I must take office as soon as possible!" Xiao Yu said bitterly: "Otherwise, it will be too late!"
At this time, Yang Gongren was also curious. He couldn't help but ask: "Why?"
"Gongren, you have never worked with King Wei, and you don't understand him at all." Xiao Yu sighed and said helplessly: "King Wei likes to get into trouble, and he likes to turn small things into big things, even if it's nothing. , he can also cause trouble, and many big scandals in Youzhou not only involve people's livelihood and people's hearts, but also involve betraying the country and seeking glory. I don't need to guess, I can also know that he has already killed all the corrupt officials. "
"These corrupt officials should be killed. They should be killed. King Wei is right to kill them all!" Yang Gongren glanced at Yang Guang, only to find that Yang Guang was sitting there with a leisurely expression, neither angry nor questioning.
Speaking of which, Yang Guang was the one who was most poisoned by Yang Ji. He had long been immune to Yang Ji's ability and ability to cause trouble. Even if he poked a hole in the sky, Yang Guang would not be surprised. On the contrary, if Yang Ji doesn't cause trouble, then he will really think that the sun is rising from the west. But Yang Guang also knows that although Yang Ji likes to cause trouble, Yang Ji is definitely not a person who makes trouble out of nothing, because he is lazy!
"That's right! But he is very lazy. Under normal circumstances, he just destroys and runs away after the destruction. Then let others clean up the mess." Xiao Yu said: "In this case in Youzhou, he has definitely killed He was bleeding like a river and had definitely run away. So I had to clean it up as soon as possible."
"Shi Wen is so right! He knows King Wei so well." Yang Guangda felt that the hero had similar views. He slammed the table and said, "As you said, after he kills him, Already ran away."
"..." Yang Gongren heard a dark clue. He could not have imagined that Yang Ji, whom he admired, turned out to be such a person!
"So I think the situation in Youzhou is urgent and there is no need to delay!" Xiao Yu was already used to it. He said to Yang Guang: "Since I have recommended myself to be this long history, I must hurry up and get over."
"Okay!" Yang Guang nodded and asked casually: "Then when are you going to set off?"
"Sage, I plan to set off today!" Xiao Yu not only has a vigorous and resolute style, but is also used to cleaning up Yang Ji's mess. He looked at the hourglass and said: "If the saint appoints it now, I can set off now. If so, In this way, we can still walk quickly to Shiai County today."
After hearing this, Yang Guang couldn't help but look at Xiao Yu with admiration again. Although his brother-in-law is a capable minister and official brought out by his cousin, his sense of responsibility is much stronger than that of his cousin.
How different is Yang Ji, he has to attack every time!
"I will appoint you as the governor of You now." With that, Yang Guang began to write the appointment letter.
