PS: Fuyin is an official position that only existed after the Song Dynasty, so the so-called Changan Fuyin in the previous chapter was an error by the author. It should actually be Yongzhou Mu, which has been corrected.

According to the records in "Old Book of Tang Geography", Yongzhou refers to Jingzhao Prefecture, which is the area under the jurisdiction of the capital of the Tang Dynasty. The so-called Yongzhou Mu, also means Jingzhao Prefecture Mu.

Although this official position is Fu Mu, it is different from the ordinary local Fu Mu. It is a serious second-rank official, working with the Minister, the Prince's Young Master, the Prince's Young Master, the Crown Prince's Shaobao, and the Grand Governor.

, most of them have the same level of important positions as the Protector, and they are truly high and powerful.

Because of this, the imperial court has always been cautious about this official position, so the Yongzhou Shepherd has always been led by Wei King Li Taixu, and the yamen only has the fourth-rank Jingzhao Mansion Shaoyin to preside over the daily government affairs in the Jingzhao area.

Li Shimin specifically proposed today that giving this Yongzhou pastor to Shi Yunting can definitely be said to be a great act of imperial favor. After all, Hezhou is only Zhongzhou, and Shi Yunting's Hezhou governor is only at the fourth rank, while Yongzhou pastor is properly from the second rank.

, it can be said that it has been upgraded to three levels in a row.

Speaking of which, no matter who it is, no one can find fault, and no one can say that the imperial court mistreated its meritorious officials.

But as confidants, they naturally know His Majesty's thoughts.

Hezhou is really too sensitive.

It took less than half a year for Wang Gang to manage such a large force and collude with Chu Yuanheng to commit such treasonous acts. Shi Yunting has been working hard in Hezhou for nearly nine years and has won the support of the people. If he wants to do something,

That would be really easy.

Therefore, taking this opportunity to transfer Shi Yunting back and put him under his nose can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

But this kind of little thought can naturally only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

Therefore, without much discussion, the several ministers present agreed to the emperor's proposal and settled the matter.

…

Hezhou.

From the day after he sent the memorial, Shi Yunting began to sell some of the real estate shops he had purchased in Hezhou and collect the gold and silver.

"Brother, what are you—"

Shi Qing was puzzled and asked bravely.

Over the years, because Shi Yunting held a high and powerful position in Hezhou, although he did not take special care of him, many family disciples still came to join him in an endless stream due to his relationship, and established a large family property in Hezhou.

.

Even Shi Yunting himself owned a lot of shops and properties without knowing it.

And looking at Shi Yunting's current posture, it seems that he is going to sell out.

Therefore, many people began to become unable to sit still.

He didn't dare to go to Shi Yunting directly, so he went to Shi Qing, who had been following Shi Yunting, to get some news. Shi Qing had no choice but to step forward and ask about Shi Yunting's story.

Shi Yunting glanced at Shi Qing, who looked uneasy, and smiled.

"The wind in Hezhou is strong, and the dust blows all day long. After winter, the wind is even biting. I am old and in poor health, and I am no longer suitable to fight for my life here. Just yesterday, I personally asked the court for orders.

I’m going back to the Central Plains to enjoy my blessings. If nothing else happens, officials who will replace me will come in the next few days—”

Having said this, Shi Yunting walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the branches still covered with a layer of frost and mist, and spoke calmly.

"After you go back, tell them whether to go or stay, and let them decide for themselves. If they want to go, I won't stop them. If they want to stay, I will also take note of the new governor and take care of them...

"

Shi Qing was silent.

But this kind of thing is naturally not something that people at their level can interfere with.

He said his goodbyes and left immediately.

They say you can stay or go as you like, but in practice, it's not that simple.

Over the years, many of the children of these families have purchased a lot of property in Hezhou, and even invested all their wealth here. They have taken root here, so it is not so easy to leave.

Therefore, after the news came out, there was an overwhelming reaction.

Some followed quietly and packed up their property, but most of them chose to stay.

After all, life has to live its own life, and few people can give up everything they have achieved and choose to start over in a new place. This has nothing to do with courage, this is human nature.

The people of Chang'an naturally don't know this.

At this time, they were shocked by another shocking news.

The Wang family had liaison with foreigners, violated the imperial ban, and smuggled tens of thousands of kilograms of highly refined iron to Tibet, and everyone was caught. As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar in the government and the public.

In fact, it is not just the Wang family that secretly does this kind of thing, but it is another thing to do it and be caught. Therefore, while everyone is shocked by the magnitude of the Wang family's handiwork, they are also secretly scolding the Wang family.

of stupidity.

It's so stupid.

This kind of thing is so trivial that even if someone discovers it, it's not a big deal. But to smuggle tens of thousands of kilograms of highly refined steel at once, I'm afraid it's not a ghost!

Of course, there were some people who had complicated expressions when they found out, but they all kept silent in a tacit understanding.

No matter what, I can only say that the Wang family is too stupid.

Incorrigibly stupid——

They actually dared to deal with such a big and sensitive issue, and they were caught on the spot. What else could they say besides being stupid?

"Without Wang Yan, the Wang family is finished..."

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Yuan, who was playing a game of pot throwing with Zhang Jieyu and several young and beautiful concubines who had just been brought in by his filial son, heard the news and couldn't help but stop what he was doing.

He looked in the direction of Liangyi Palace with some complicated eyes.

This son of mine is really hard-hearted and clever.

However, the Wang family members are probably not fools, so it must be true that the Wang family smuggled tens of thousands of kilograms of refined steel.

Where did he get so much refined steel?

As the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, although he has been independent of government affairs in the past two years, he also knows that the Tang Dynasty is in short supply of refined steel. Otherwise, the scale of battlefield weapons such as the Modao Team has been growing.

Can't get up.

It can be said that Bailian refined steel has always been a scarce resource, with a price but no market. Even if he wants to lay out the plan, he must first have so much Bailian refined steel...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and looked in the direction of Chongrenfang with shock.

That brat?

After thinking about it, he threw down the arrows in his hand, said a few words briefly, put on his normal clothes, and quietly left the palace.

Nowadays, as Li Shimin's prestige in the government and the public is getting higher and higher, his authority for activities is also getting wider and wider. Basically, as long as he does not risk his own life to summon the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government, he is considered a free man.

Of course, when the Supreme Emperor leaves the palace, there must be many people secretly protecting him.

But the guards who were secretly accompanying him immediately felt relieved when they saw their Supreme Emperor entering the gate of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion calmly.

…

Almost at the same time as Song Jin's secret report and Shi Yunting's memorial, the Wang family's urgent summons was also sent to the current head of the family, Wang Gui.

After Wang Gui read it, he vomited out a mouthful of blood on the spot, swayed, and almost fainted on the spot.

There is only one feeling in my heart, that is, the sky is falling.

He was not afraid of the Wang family making mistakes. In fact, in a huge family like theirs, it was not uncommon for some unscrupulous people to appear occasionally. As long as it was harmless, no one would care. But he never expected that one of his own would actually

How dare you dare to smuggle tens of thousands of kilograms of highly refined steel behind your back?

Where did you get so much refined steel?

He was completely confused. The first thought that flashed through his mind was that someone was framing the Wang family!

Although Wang Yan has been in charge of family affairs in the past few years, he is not really indifferent. He knows very well that the Wang family, even if they work hard, cannot produce so many products in a year.

Hundreds of refined steel.

Let alone one year, even three years may not be able to achieve this number.

Tens of thousands of kilograms of hundreds of refined steel are enough to equip an elite army.

How virtuous and capable is the Wang family?

He got rid of the support of the two maids around him and struggled to get up.

"Prepare the car, I want to go to the palace immediately to meet the Holy Spirit——"

…

Inside the royal study.

The old chamberlain who was waiting on the side secretly looked at His Majesty's face and cautiously reminded him.

"Your Majesty, Wang Gui has been kneeling outside the hall for a long time. Looking at that posture, I'm afraid something will happen if he kneels down again..."

In any case, it would be a troublesome thing for a dignified Huangmen servant or Wei Wang Taifu to kneel down and faint on the spot.

Li Shimin's face looked as usual, showing no emotion or anger.
