The court's court's court's court's court's court brought a sensation to the entire Shangjing City. On the day when the huge spiritual team left Shangjing City and returned to Yuejing City, not only did the emperor and the empress personally support the spirits, but all the senior Ming officials and senior generals in Shangjing City were wrapped in black veils and lined up on both sides of the road.

Such grief and honor were only once in the more than ten years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, which was after the death of former Minister of Personnel Wang Hou. But at that time, only the emperor supported Wang Hou's spirits, and this time, the empress was added.

More importantly, on this day, the Shangjing City and all the troops lowered the flag at half-mast, and even Wang Hou did not receive such courtesy.

Behind the sensation, there were naturally curiosity. Countless rumors were circulating in the capital. Among these rumors, whether true or false, Guo Jiuling's deeds were slowly discovered one by one, and Lei Wei was inevitably exposed to the public.

In a blink of an eye, Lei Wei became a sinner who was criticized by everyone.

Even if a dynasty is violent and unpopular when it exists, there will always be some loyal and righteous men who regard their existence as more important than their own life. The Min family ruled Chu for hundreds of decades, but in fact, the kings who have always been regarded as diligent and loving the people, and Min Wei is even more so. Under Min Wei's rule, Chu State reached the peak of other countries' power and became the second largest country in the world after Chu State. And its decline was only the last ten years ago.

The Ming Dynasty destroyed him. Although on the surface, everything seemed as calm as the water of an ancient well, undercurrents always create whirlpools under the water. This is because of the existence of Min Ruoxi, the former eldest princess of Chu, that most of the undercurrents are still in a wait-and-see state.

But at this moment, Lei Wei was like a dazzling torch in the dark, allowing these depressed people to find an outlet for venting. Especially after the scenes of Chu generals such as Wei Zelong, Jiao Hong, Minister Ma Xiangdong and others fighting the Ming army and dying again.

Even if some people like this are enemies, the Ming army will give great respect. Their affairs were spread from the army, but this brought greater difficulties to the Lei Guard.

Within a month, the former Chu national guard commander who lived in seclusion was attacked more than ten times, and almost every two days, he would encounter an attack. Of course, as the former Chu national guard commander, Lei Wei naturally could not assassinate so easily. Assassination usually ended with the capture of an assassin or the killing on the spot. However, this kind of assassination made Lei Wei unable to stay in Chu anymore, or in other words, he had no place to live on this continent.

The day after Guo Jiuling's coffin left Shangjing City, Lei Wei quietly arrived in Jinzhou with his confidant subordinates. He got on the boat from where he got on the boat and went east to Quanzhou to change the sea boat and embarked on the way to the Ming Dynasty. He would not have stayed in the Ming Dynasty for a long time and then headed straight to Manila. Now, that area of ​​foreign land is a safer place for him.

On the day Lei Wei left Beijing, he welcomed several heavyweight senior officials from the Ming Dynasty.

The Minister of Personnel Fang Dazhi, the Minister of Rites Xiao Hua, and the Minister of Changyang County Ma Xiangnan.

"Thank you all the way." Qin Feng looked at the three important officials sitting in front of him, especially on Ma Xiangnan, who was wearing mourning clothes, for a moment. "But the state affairs are heavy, even if you work hard, I can't let the three of you rest well and have to let you start doing things immediately."

"Your Majesty is so serious." Among the three, in terms of status, Fang Dazhi, the Minister of Personnel, is the most respected, Xiao Hua, the Minister of Rites. However, in terms of qualifications, among the three, Ma Xiangnan, the governor of Changyang County, is the oldest.

"Ma Gong, I feel sorry for my brother's army." Qin Feng looked at Ma Xiangnan Road. Qin Feng had never caught a cold or even hated him, because of the coup in Shangjing that year, the Western Army was destroyed. This person could not escape the relationship. At that time, he was a very important helper and aide to Min Ruoying. However, this person's final performance also made Qin Feng look at him with admiration. He could not help the monarch strengthen the country and build a country, but being able to live and die with the monarch was also considered a loyal minister. After Ma Xiangdong ordered the last Huofeng Army to surrender, he jumped off the building and died, and his family also raised fire to himself in the last. This branch of the Ma family in Shangjing disappeared with the Chu Dynasty.

Ma Xiangnan sighed: "This is my brother's own choice. Your Majesty does not need to worry about it, but he is my eldest brother after all, and it is also the duty of his ministers to be filial to him."

Qin Feng nodded: "The fall of Shangjing into my hands also means that the State of Chu is officially destroyed, and its territory is all under my hands. The remaining county governors are basically all matters that can be determined. Even Shu County has sent a surrender letter. But this does not mean that we have truly controlled the land of Chu. From the matter of Lei Guard, we still have a long way to go in the future. Ma Gong, this is my original intention of transferring you."

The Ma family is a family of Chu, and Ma Xiangdong is the chief minister of Chu for more than ten years. When Ma Xiangnan returned to Chu, he naturally wanted to use the Ma family's reputation in Chu to return to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible.

"Shangjing City is the economic, cultural and political center of Chu. If you go to Jingjing, then Chu will be safe. If you go to Jingjing, then Chu will be safe." Qin Feng said slowly: "So, you must be the magistrate of Shangjing County. You must be the magistrate of Shangjing County. With the Political Affairs Hall and the magistrate of Shangjing County, I hope that within three years, Ma Gong can truly integrate Shangjing City into our Ming system."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Ma Yingnan bowed, "I will do my best."

"I have always been relieved to do things." Qin Feng nodded with a smile and turned his head to Fang Dazhi: "There is a new return to Chu, and everything is complicated, but the matter of administration is always the first. The country is prosperous and the success is achieved. Therefore, the reform of administration in Chu is the top priority. But this is also the most difficult thing."

The three important officials here nodded and said yes.

"We surrendered the State of Chu, but there were not many major battles. Most of the county governments were surrendered by the wind, but this also brought a big problem, which was the officials in those places." Qin Feng pondered: "For the Ming Dynasty, these people were made contributions. They surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, which not only prevented us from being poisoned by the war, but also saved us a lot of energy and rewarded merits. But from another aspect, these officials were incompatible with our Ming Dynasty's official system. If we follow the laws and regulations of our Ming Dynasty, we are afraid that most of these people will be imprisoned. But if we do this, it will cause a new round of chaos, and our Ming Dynasty's reputation will be damaged. This is also the reason why I did not let Jin Jingnan come."

Everyone in the room smiled. Jin Jingnan was in charge of the Censorate, hated evil and acted decisively and ruthlessly. He was known as the Living King of Hell in China. When he came, a prison would inevitably rise in Chu.

"But the reform of the administration must be carried out. We must make the land of Chu the help of our Ming Dynasty as quickly as possible. If the land of Chu recovers to its peak, the wealth he can create is definitely not comparable to our local government and the land of the West. What can you do if you have any way to do it?"

"Your Majesty, in fact, I have been thinking about this matter. I cannot let the court bear the bad reputation and become a person who has broken up bridges across the river and has to quickly complete the reform of the administration."

"Can you get something?"

"Your Majesty, in fact, our Ministry of Personnel has begun experiments in Shangjing City." Fang Dazhi smiled and said, "That is to stop moving the Shangguan first, and start with the officials. The early days of the princes and princesses were fatal to these officials in Chu, but the matters in the local area were truly controlled by these officials. Overall, it was to start a group of people, retain a group, and promote a group."

Qin Feng nodded: "Well, I heard from Tian Kang that the clerks who are going to the capital are desperately reading our Ming Dynasty rules."

"Your Majesty, you only need to stabilize the number of clerks, and then things will be done naturally." Fang Dazhi smiled and said, "Now we are waiting for the final result of Shangjing City. In the one-month period, the assessment of clerks is about to be carried out. The effect is good or bad. In these few days, Shangjing City is still under military control. Even if there are any chaos, you can suppress it immediately. Summarize the test lessons from Shangjing City, and then promote it one by one. For example, the six eastern counties and four Jiangnan counties can be spread first. These places are closely connected with our Ming Dynasty, and have deeper understanding, and will be less conflicted. As long as Shangjing, the six eastern counties and four Jiangnan counties complete the reform of the administration, other places will not be able to make any trouble."

"It's safe."

Seeing Qin Feng's eyes, Xiao Hua, the Minister of Rites, looked at him and coughed lightly, cleared his throat, "Your Majesty, the martial arts of civil and military affairs, the Ming Dynasty has allowed the people of Chu to see our martial arts. Next, they will naturally also want them to see our martial arts power. Your Majesty Xuan Laos come over. It seems that this is the case. The old minister is very talented in Chu, and he is a little famous. When the person is still on the way, he has written countless letters and sent it out. I think that soon after, many friends of the old ministers will gather in the capital. When they arrive, the old ministers will mobilize them to come to the Ming Dynasty to sway the flag and shout. Now, the first thing we have to do is to establish a branch of the Jingshi University in Shangjing."

"As we all know, the Ming Dynasty Peking University is actually the place for officials to train. Those who are admitted to the Peking University will have an official position after graduation. Now, they are robbed before graduation, and have become a crash course for officials. This branch is quickly established and the students from Chu can be admitted to the school. "Xiao Hua said." Learning literature and martial arts and selling them to the imperial family, letting these scholars know that their path to progress is not only not blocked, but is wider than before. Their speed of returning home will inevitably surprise His Majesty."
