Early the next morning, Cui Xiang came indeed. As soon as he saw Yang Qing, he immediately bowed down and cried bitterly that he had failed to teach his son well and was ashamed to be the magistrate of Nanzheng County. He asked Yang Qing to choose a wise man and punish him.

Of course, Yang Qing did not agree to this, but said that he still had to think about it. Although he had the intention to transfer Cui Xiang away, it seemed a bit far-fetched and deliberate to just use his son Cui Huan's involvement as the reason.

Besides, he didn't have to ask Cui Xiang to free up the position of Nanzheng County Magistrate for Li Yu. It still depends on the person's talent and character. If he is really a useful talent with both moral character and moral character, he can accommodate him.

Therefore, Yang Qing asked Cui Xiang to go home temporarily to think about his mistakes and deal with it after ten days. Cui Xiang was very grateful and repeatedly expressed that he would go back to clean up his family tradition.

After sending Cui Xiang away, Yang Qing ordered the governor Zhang Shi to be summoned. After Cui Xiang's incident, he decided to conduct an inspection on the family traditions of the county officials in the county.

Because the quality of a local government can often be reflected through the family tradition of the officials, he should have an understanding of the talents and virtues of the county's chief officials and prepare for subsequent personnel adjustments.

Zhang Shi's official reputation is very good. He has heard praises from others several times these days. It can be said that he has a good reputation in Hanzhong official circles.

Of course, Yang Qing did not dare to completely believe these words, so sending him to inspect the administration of officials in various counties was also a test for him.

"Do you remember what I said?"

Zhang Shi cupped his hands and replied: "Don't worry, Mr. Fu, I understand my humble position."

"Okay, let's prepare in these two days and set off as soon as possible." Yang Qing said.

"Yes, I am resigning from my humble position."

One month later, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside Nanzheng City, and in the blink of an eye, a dozen knights rushed outside the west city gate.

But I saw the leading scribe raising his whip and pointing at the city wall in front of him and saying, "Xiuren, Botong, look, we have finally arrived in Nanzheng."

"Yes, we've finally arrived." Liu Yin reined in his mount and replied with a sigh.

"I haven't seen Fu Jun and the others for a long time. I really miss them." Shen Da also caught up from behind.

"Haha, I'll see you soon. Now it's good. I can do big things with Mr. Fu again." Liu Yin said with a smile.

More than twenty days ago, Yang Xi and the others finally received an order from the imperial court to transfer them to Hanzhong. The three of them had been waiting for a long time. After receiving the transfer order, they immediately set off from Nanzhong. They really did not dare to delay for a moment. The three of them worked hard for days.

After a long journey, we finally arrived in Nanzheng today.

"Come on, let's go into the city." Yang joked.

Liu Yin said in surprise: "Wait a minute, are we going in like this? Didn't you say someone would come to pick us up?"

Shen Da also echoed: "Yes, why haven't we seen anyone yet? Where is that boy Zhou Xing?"

"Brother Botong, Brother Wenran, Brother Xiuren, some of them are here!"

The three of them were hesitating whether to go directly into the city when they suddenly heard a shout from in front, followed by five or six riders running from a distance, the leader of which was none other than Zhou Xing whom they had just remembered.

"It's Demao!" Shen Da recognized Zhou Xing at a glance and said happily.

In an instant, Zhou Xing rushed to the crowd and bowed his hands in greeting: "Brother Botong, Brother Wenran, and Brother Xiuren, we haven't seen each other for several months. Are you okay with the three of you?"

"Haha, you have learned to be polite now." Shen Da, an old superior, stepped forward and punched him, joking with a smile.

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "I've been staying with Fu Jun for a long time, so why should I get some culture?" After a pause, he added: "Fu Jun is already waiting for everyone in the prefect's mansion. We'd better go to the city first to avoid unnecessary trouble. Your Majesty, please wait for a long time."

"De Mao is right, I'll talk about it later when I go to the city and see the Lord." Yang Xi agreed.

So everyone got on their horses again, and Zhou Xing took the lead and led everyone into Nanzheng City. They arrived at the prefect's mansion half an hour later. Yang Qing was already waiting in the living room. When he learned that they had arrived, he hurried out to meet them.

"Haha, Wen Ran, Xiu Ran, Bo Tong, you are finally here, but you have to wait a long time."

Seeing Yang Qing come out, Yang Xi, Liu Yin, and Shen Da quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Master Fu."

Yang Qing nodded, looked at each of them one by one, and said with a smile: "Okay, your appearance and spirit are very good, and there is no acclimatization."

"Master Fu, we are not that delicate yet." Liu Yin also replied with a smile.

"Yeah." Yang Qing said, "Let's go inside and talk more."

Everyone entered the living room and each took a seat. After a while of greetings, Yang Qing got down to business: "I have already stated the purpose of sending the three of you to Hanzhong this time in my letter, and you must have understood it. But today you guys Here you go, I want to say a few more words."

"Please give me your orders, Mr. Yang." Yang Xi and the others stood up and said.

Yang Qingdao: "Mianyang will be the garrison of my Northern Expedition Army in the future. The location is very important. Therefore, Wen Ran, you, as the magistrate of Mianyang, have an extremely heavy burden. In a few days, after you take office, you will start preparing to build the Prime Minister's Mansion. The residence and camp of the army are top priority and you must take care of them carefully."

"Yes, Mr. Fu." Yang Xi bowed and responded.

Yang Qing looked at Liu Yin and Shen Da again and said: "As for Xiuran and Botong, your burdens are not light. Baocheng and Chenggu are also located at key points. One is guarding Baoxie Road, and the other is in the east of Nanzheng. Gate, you must guard these two places for me."

"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, Bao City will be guarded by Yin Ding."

Shen Da also clasped his fists and said, "Master Fu, Da will never embarrass you."

"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved." Yang Qingxu pressed his hand: "Everyone is sitting and talking. The house has prepared a reception banquet for you in the evening. You will have a rest in Nanzheng these days. , casually get to know the officials in the county."

"Yes, we all listen to Mr. Fu." Yang Xi and the others replied.

Three days later, before Yang Xi and the others went to their respective posts, another talented person arrived in Nanzheng. This person was Li Yu, Yang Qing's friend, who was invited to take over as Nanzheng County Magistrate.

"Brother Ziyu." Yang Qing shouted from afar.

Li Yu stepped forward and returned the courtesy: "Mingzhi, oh no, it's the Lord of the House."

Yang Qing's face darkened after hearing this, and he pretended to be angry and said, "Brother Yu calls me brother like this on such an occasion. Do you blame me for not leaving the house to greet you?"

"Haha, don't blame me if you know it, it was a slip of the tongue."

Yang Qing then turned his anger into a smile: "Hey, this is right. There is no need for those false etiquettes between you and me brothers." He extended his hand to invite: "Brother Ziyu, please."

"Mingzhi, please."

More than ten days ago, Yang Qing finally dealt with Cui Xiang and demoted him to Nanxiang for being lax in running the family and indulging Cui Huan. Of course, this was an apparent reason, but in fact, Yang Qing found out about Cui Huan.

Cui Xiang had to take the initiative to submit to Xiang's evidence of corruption.

However, this matter involved Wei Yan, and Wei Yan was responsible for oversight of several military accounts. Therefore, in order to protect Wei Yan's reputation, they were not made public, thus leaving Cui Xiang some dignity.

The position of Nanzheng County Magistrate was vacated, so Li Yu was transferred to Hanzhong as a matter of course. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him, a former Chengdu County Lieutenant, to arrange an official position, and only Nanzheng County Magistrate was suitable for him.

As soon as Li Yu came, Yang Qing's subordinates could be said to be full of talented people. After they each took office, Yang Qing's control over the whole county of Hanzhong suddenly reached a higher level.

And the positions of Nanzheng County Magistrate and Mianyang County Magistrate are so important. Yang Qing transferred four people from other places at once. Many local officials were actually dissatisfied.

It's just that Wei Yan accepted a big favor from him regarding Cui Xiang. Without him taking the lead in opposing it, the others only dared to mumble a few words behind their backs instead of saying anything openly. Yang Qing was able to successfully complete the project.
Chapter completed!
