(Yesterday I was eating and drinking again. My colleagues had a dinner party and couldn't push them over. I could only say sorry to everyone. Oh, I'm so tired after this New Year...)

"A bunch of bastards..."

Li Pu, a fellow disciple, said lightly, as if he had heard something insignificant, which made people unable to see his joys and anger.

After being the chief minister of the Qin Dynasty for more than 20 years, he was in a deep and meticulous state, and most of the abnormal movements in the capital could not be hidden from him. He naturally knew the purpose of Zhou Fang's visit late at night.

The fisherman is profitable when the snipe and clam fight. However, in today's situation, those who want to get millet from the fire will be extremely disappointed. Li Pu suddenly wants to laugh a few times. Even he wants to see what kind of faces will those people be when the dust settles......

Immediately afterwards, I felt a little sad. After more than 20 years of government, I finally came to an end... I couldn't help but wonder what kind of mood did Yang Xiang leave the throne in disgrace?

However, these thoughts will never be different from outsiders, and he also has his own pride. For more than 20 years, the Qin Dynasty's national strength has become increasingly powerful, and its territory has become increasingly broad. The country is in good weather and prosperity, and the people are at peace. In foreign affairs, the Qin Dynasty's military commands are pointed out, and the heroes are left behind. It can be said that the Qin Dynasty is far from comparable to when Yang Xiang was there.

The only regret is that it cannot be done at the beginning and end...

The trend is rising and falling, but the face is not revealed at all. Therefore, in Zhou Fang's eyes, the old man sitting there is still the majestic complementary master, calm and solemn, just like when he first met the old man.

But just one sentence and four words made Zhou Fang feel full of contempt, and at the same time, he completely calmed down his mind.

Li Pu just said this and did not comment much. He just continued: "Chang'an Prefecture was first established and we will accept so many Xiongwu Army infantry again. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhou Fang thought about the taste, felt relieved, and immediately said, "It's just a loyalty to the country. It's not hard work. Students are just willing to perform their duties and live up to the country's kindness."

Sure enough, Li Pu nodded slightly, "It's good that Ding'an can think so. Ding'an is in the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, and is familiar with all matters inside and outside the court. That's why I strongly recommend you to take charge of the affairs of Chang'an Prefecture..."

"To be honest, Chang'an has gradually emerged as the prosperous era of the previous dynasty. People from inside and outside all appear on the streets of Chang'an. Perhaps the literary talent is much inferior, but in terms of the atmosphere, it is not comparable to the previous dynasty at the beginning."

"Envoys from various countries frequently come and go, and the business roads in the Western Regions are about to be opened. The elegant thing about Hu Niang selling wine in the Western Regions appeared soon. The number of soldiers who had made meritorious return to Beijing to settle down. The officials and gentry outside entered the capital to settle down. In this way, it is unlikely that it will be a long time before the prosperous era of the previous dynasty will be regained."

"Before this, if we cannot sort out the Chang'an Prefecture affairs well, we will cause trouble in the future and cause some unbearable things. In addition to humiliating the national system, it will also shake the foundation of our Qin Dynasty. At that time, isn't it our crime?"

These words and these meanings were actually understood by Zhou Fang when he was in office, but he was not as thorough as he said this time.

However, for Zhou Fang, hearing this still made him a little fascinated and full of longing.

Li Pu's voice continued, "So, if you manage the Chang'an government well, you will make great contributions to the country, and it is not comparable to the Central Secretariat..."

Zhou Fang's face was already covered with a blush, a little excited, and a little ashamed, bowed and said, "Students know, it won't disappoint you."

Li Pu waved his hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed in his heart, and said, "There are more and more powerful people in Chang'an, so the matter of the Xiongwu Army's infantry being incorporated into Chang'an Prefecture is the most important thing at present. This matter involves the military, and there is no previous example to follow... Lord Liu cannot be taken slowly, and the meaning of the Duke of Jin's Mansion is also very important..."

"The so-called dispute between civil and military affairs is just the word "fame and wealth". No matter whether civil and military affairs are, they are all ministers of Your Majesty. No matter how many storms or rain are, they cannot shake the foundation of the Qin Dynasty. At this point, those who are frivolous in the camp will not be able to occupy a high position... Therefore, Ding'an will deal with the affairs of Chang'an Mansion by his heart, and there is no need to worry too much."

The meaning of this sentence is deep. Zhou Fang chewed it for a long time, but for a while, he was afraid that he would not understand why the old man said, so he could only go back and think about it slowly.

It was the old man Jizhu who was holding it, which gave him endless confidence.

"Thank you for your teachings. The students have received the teachings, but the Ministry of Personnel... has delayed and asked them every time they ask, they say that the quality of the Xiongwu Army is mixed, and they need to be carefully identified to make it easier for them to use their positions. In the eyes of the students, they are all just excuses, but they don't know what the meaning is..."

This is not because Zhou Fang takes the opportunity to attack, but because the Ministry of Personnel is indeed procrastinating, which obviously means delaying, which makes Zhou Fang extremely angry.

You should know that without the infantry of the Xiongwu Army, what is the difference between the newly established Chang'an Prefecture and the original Chang'an Order Yamen?

But then again, the court is in trouble now, and Zhou Fang dares not act without action. The Minister of Personnel Zheng, the Minister of Personnel, has been in charge of the Ministry of Personnel for many years, and is like an iron barrel run by the Ministry of Personnel. His prestige is almost as good as that of Li Pu, the same disciple, who is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel.

Therefore, with many concerns, Zhou Fang could only swallow his anger and urge him from time to time was the limit he could achieve.

In the discussion of the Central Secretariat, he was attacked by the Minister of Personnel. That must be just a plot in the book, let alone others have thousands of reasons waiting for you.

Even if there are not many reasons and without real evidence, if you want to get a favor from the Ministry of Personnel, even if you are a fellow disciple, Li Pu, you will probably think twice, let alone Zhou Fang.

After hearing this seemingly innocent but resentful words, Li Pu just smiled and said calmly: "In the future, the powerful and royal relatives in the capital, all under the rule of Chang'an Prefecture, will there be many obstacles. Ding'an wants to retreat if he sees the difficulties?"

Although this was said lightly, Zhou Fang's face turned red. Since he took on this position, he had already understood how heavy the burden was.

The biggest difficulty of Chang'an Prefecture is not actually not the lack of hands and skills of subordinates. Whether officials are honest and capable of doing things is the most important thing about whether they dare to do it, whether they can grasp the right measure in the changes in the affairs of the court and the changes in all matters.

If you can't make it hard, but if you are too weak, you can't make it...

In fact, in Zhou Fang's view, only His Majesty's favorite ministers, or those with high prestige in the court and the country, can hold Chang'an Mansion tightly in their hands and make all the people respect it.

And Zhou Fang is just a time to drive the ducks on the shelves and is in a dilemma, and there are still many more in the future.

It can be seen now that Chang'an Mansion, which was newly established, has encountered difficulties frequently. It can be imagined that there must be thorns in front of it.

Therefore, in his opinion, only if he can get the full support of Li Xiang, he can use his skills and manage Chang'an Prefecture properly.

But now it seems that he is already a delusion. He is in an unexpected place. Perhaps if he is not careful, he will be worried about overthrow. How can he care about Zhou Fang?

It is actually a rare kindness to be able to be so heart-wrenching with him tonight. If you make trouble with Zheng again due to the Chang'an Mansion...

Thinking of this, Zhou Fang sighed in his heart, feeling a little confused about the future. He even wondered what kind of deep meaning does the old man have to place a person from a poor family with a criminal name in Chang'an Mansion?

However, after all, the ups and downs of officialdom in the past, such depressed emotions flashed through his heart, and then he threw this accusatory sentence behind his head, frowned and thought hard...

Li Pu didn't urge him, and half-squinted his eyes, as if he was asleep.

In fact, he has many shadows of Yang Gan's prefecture back then. In terms of appointing and guiding people who appreciate them, he is completely different from his decisive behavior in governing. He is generally instructive and has extraordinary patience.

This did not match his temperament. It was just that after being an official under Yang Gan for a long time, he was naturally influenced by his own person.

At this time, the topics they were talking about were very different from their original intentions, but in the feeling of these two people, it was not considered off topic.

At the beginning, Li Pu also intended to listen to some opinions from Zhou Fang in the court and consider his vision and insights. However, once the topic came to practice, Li Pu put down his other thoughts and wanted to hear what Zhou Fang could say.

Zhou Fang obviously knew what the old man wanted to hear now. After a long time, he slowly said: "Students think... Chang'an Prefecture is based in the capital, and many people are watching it. It is essential to establish authority. However, when we find the Duke of Jin's Mansion, there is someone who has ulterior motives and is harmful and useless in Chang'an Prefecture..."

"Students lack moral character. It is probably inappropriate to act intimidation when the Chang'an Prefecture was first established... Therefore, in the opinion of students, most of them should take advantage of the situation to make a fortune...... The Duke of Jin's Mansion should increase their efforts. In that case, even if the Ministry of Personnel delays, the students are not afraid of the wavering of the Xiongwu Army's spirit of the army, and any storm arises when the transfer is made."

"There is also your Majesty... In front of Your Majesty, there are not many opportunities for students to make suggestions, but the students still know some of the feelings of Your Majesty. At that time, the Empress...... The students heard some rumors. Although after many years, some people were concealed, most of the evil people and others were already killed. However, the students were confident that they could find out what was next."

"Your Majesty is happy... The students will have the opportunity to speak. As long as you can borrow your Majesty's dragon power, everything in Chang'an Mansion can be solved easily. I think your Majesty is wise and powerful, and you can also know that the students' hard work will be able to believe more than the students at that time..."

"But this is the case, I'm afraid it will be contrary to what you mean by your boss..."
