The weather in the western region has always changed very rapidly. Just after October, it seems that the hot summer just passed, and winter can't wait to run out. But what is faster than the weather changes is the spread of news.

Yongping County has long heard of the drought in the western region. After Qin Feng successfully prayed for rain in Cenzhou and sent back to Yong'an County, the people of Yong'an County were suddenly in full swing.

Over the years, under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, Yongping County has been prosperous and prosperous, chasing Shayang Zhengyang Yuejing City and other places. The people enjoyed extremely low taxes and no longer had the hardship of corvee. The rule of the Ming Dynasty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Qin Feng's prestige is unparalleled in Yongping County. If Cheng Weigao had extremely high prestige in Yongping County in the past and had a considerable influence on the people, after this incident, he could no longer confront the already supreme imperial machine.

When the imperial power is covered with the cloak of divine power, its lethality to ordinary people is truly unparalleled.

Why did Cheng Weigao have a considerable confidence in stating conditions with Qin Feng in secret? Firstly, when Qin Feng destroyed the Qianyue, he decisively led the entire Yongping County to Qin Feng, allowing Qin Feng's soldiers to take over this rich land without bloodshed. In the subsequent battles, he provided great logistical support for the Ming army. In the later reforms of the administration and a series of political reforms carried out by Wang Hou, he stood firmly on the side of the court, which won him great trust and respect from the court.

He made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, but on the other hand, he was deeply rooted in Yongping County. He was the largest wealthy family in Yongping County. When the Ming Dynasty tried hard to crack down on the annexation of the wealthy families, he sold his land, and then invested the money into business, making more money on the accumulation of wealth.

Cheng Weigao is a man who takes every step very accurately and takes extremely steadily. He seems to be a person who is born to stand on the side of the winner. Such a person is naturally extremely powerful.

Even if Qin Feng wanted to move a nest for him, he had to think twice and do it carefully.

It is naturally not possible to use force. This will make officials in the world feel disappointed. Everyone will think that people like Cheng Weigao who have made great contributions will be killed by the court. So what will happen to themselves? This is obviously not in the interests of the court. The best way is of course Cheng Weigao agrees by himself.

Without the fact that Weigao had too many interests in Yongping County, the Cheng family was almost integrated with Yongping County. Who would dare to say that his butt was clean in such a family? Cheng Weigao naturally knew the power of the Ming Dynasty's Censor. He could do it without leaking in Yongping County, but what if he left? Later generations would take these blames for him, of course it was impossible.

So he doesn't want to leave, he doesn't want to leave.

This is why Qin Feng had just revealed a little bit of whine, and he immediately asked to retire and return to his hometown to rebel Qin Feng's army, which made Qin Feng quite angry.

It is an exception to let Cheng Weigao stay in Yongping County for more than ten years. I didn’t expect that this person was so unsatisfied, but it can be seen that Cheng’s family did have some problems in Yongping County.

This also made Qin Feng more determined to leave Cheng Wei with high profile. The officials of a county rank for too long stayed in a place. Even if he did not form a party, he would still have a party. Even if he did not form cliques, people would naturally regard the people here as a faction, which was not good for the court, and of course, it was also bad for this official.

Therefore, the Ming Dynasty court has always implemented a rotation system. If you are in power for up to three or five years in a place, you will be moved to a nest. The only exception is now only a few border prefectures and counties facing Qi. However, in which places, the military power is equally strong, and these local officials cannot dominate the entire country.

Cheng Weigao got up very early. When he stood in the yard wrapped in a cloak and looked up at the faint whiteness on the treetops on the roof, none of the servants got up.

He has not returned home these days, but lived in a public room in the government office. It seems that only by handling official duties day and night can he forget the hidden worries in his heart. More importantly, he has an ominous premonition in his heart. Perhaps he has not had much time to stay in this public room.

When Qin Feng successfully prayed for rain in the west and solved the drought and natural disasters in Cenzhou and other places in one fell swoop, Cheng Weigao knew that he had less capital.

The arm can't twist its thighs, which is the most real feeling in front of him.

The door of the side door creaked open, and an old man yawned and walked out with his face back. Seeing Cheng Weigao standing in the yard, he was stunned, and then strode over, "Mr. Cheng, why did he get up so early?"

Cheng Weigao glanced at him and smiled bitterly: "Zi Ming, it's not that I got up early, I haven't slept all night."

"Is it because of that?" The man named Ziming's surname is Chai, and he has been with him for decades.

Cheng Weigao nodded: "Just like this weather, I feel cold now. Ziming, there is nothing I can do."

"Have Mr. Cheng made a decision?" Chai Ziming's face became solemn.

"If you don't take the initiative, I'm afraid you won't even have the final dignity." Cheng Weigao nodded: "Your Majesty is already unstoppable. After this matter, Your Majesty's reputation will once again jump to a new height. You have also seen the situation in Yong'an County."

"Not only the people, but even the officials are very enthusiastic!" Chai Zimin shook his head and sighed: "But I don't believe this kind of thing. Or it's just a coincidence."

"Even if it's just a coincidence, it's God's will. Otherwise, why did it rain when His Majesty pray for rain? People, God's will is vague, and we mortals are really unsuccessful!"

"Your Majesty's car is almost here to Youfeng County. Since Mr. Cheng has made up his mind, why not go to meet His Majesty?" Chai Ziming said: "Having Mr. Cheng took the initiative to withdraw from this step, I think Your Majesty will not be too much for himself. I think Your Majesty is still nostalgic. You have been with him for more than ten years and have made great contributions to the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Even if you can't compare to those old brothers of His Majesty's Dying Camp, it is not much worse."

"But this time, relying on this old love, all the feelings will be wiped out. People, I will go to Youfeng County, stay in the county, do everything you should do, and the aftermath must be done. If you should be dealt with quickly, then leave."

"I understand Mr. Cheng, I have also made some savings over the years. Mr. Cheng has bought me a while. After I handled these things, I went to Chu, found a small county town with beautiful scenery, and leisurely went to be an apartment house."

Cheng Weigao turned around, looked at Chai Zimin, and said, "Ziming doesn't have to worry. You and I have been together for decades, and there will definitely be a beginning and an end. Cheng is absolutely unable to do some things. I am not the kind of crazy person. My future depends on Your Majesty's ruling."

Chai Ziming smiled and his expression seemed a little more relaxed: "You must know whether Your Majesty will start and end with Cheng Gong depends on who will take over as the governor of Yongping County."

"I understand!" Cheng Weigao nodded. He took out something from his arms and handed it to Chai Zimin: "With him, all the people of the Cheng clan dared to be ordered, go."

On the wide business road, the convoy slowly moved forward in the army's arms. It was still August when he left, but it was already mid-October when he returned. The weather had gone from the heat at that time to the chilling waves now, and the top of the mountain had been covered with a layer of white, as if wearing a white hat.

The ten miles in front and behind the business road had been cleared, and the people on the business road were driven far away to the woods on the side. Only after the car drove could they get back on the road.

In the woods, countless caravans gathered, staring at the emperor's carriage. Whenever the emperor's carriage passed by, there were always cheers and praises like tsunamis in the forest.

Even if winter is coming, this business road is still as busy as before. Now is the last season for a large amount of goods to be stored. When the first snow really falls, both manpower and freight rates will rise significantly.

A war horse rushed from the front, approaching the convoy, and had already rolled over and dismounted. After a moment, an officer rushed to the front of the carriage. Eunuch Le opened the window and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Le, just now, the inquiry came from the front that Cheng Weigao, the governor of Yong'an County, led all the officials of the county government to come to Youfeng County to welcome Your Majesty."

Eunuch Le nodded, retracted and closed the window.

"Cheng Weigao is so phoenix?" Qin Feng asked with a smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it seems that he surrendered." Eunuch Le's face was full of smiles.

Qin Feng shook his head: "This old guy is always ahead of others. No wonder he has reached the point he is today. After two dynasties, everyone trusts him very much."

"Your Majesty, will you go to Youfeng County?"

"Since he has already surrendered, I naturally have to accept the fruits of victory. He is an old minister. Yu Daming has made great contributions and should give him the decent demeanor he should have, and he should start and end well!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"The Cheng clan has many illegal acts."

Qin Feng laughed, "Believe me, when we arrive at Yongping County City, all that should have disappeared will disappear. Cheng Weigao is a sensible person. Mr. Le, I now deeply understand what it means to be confused! When I was a lieutenant of the Death Camp, I couldn't rub the sand in my eyes, and now I can turn a blind eye, and even pretend to be ignorant."

"I congratulate Your Majesty. If the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if the people are careful, there will be no disciples. Your Majesty's way of controlling people is the strategy for long-term stability."

"When I was young, I never thought that I would become such a person. Time can change someone even if I grow old." Qin Feng sighed: "Time has cut me out of recognition."
