Hongzhou Prefecture Office.

Zong Ze, Liu Zhiyi and Zhou Wentai are discussing the matter.

Han Zhengyi hurried in and looked at the three of them and said in a deep voice: "The cavalry of the Nanhuangcheng Division moved and headed straight to the Chu family."

Liu Zhiyi was not aware of the inside story and said in surprise: "What is Li Yan going to do? Are you going to confiscate the Chu family?"

Han Zhengyi looked at him and said, "It should be. But it should be more than that. I'm afraid I don't know how many people will be implicated."

Liu Zhiyi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zong Ze and Zhou Wentai and said, "Is he so impatient? At least... he has to wait for the attitude of the court?"

Liu Zhiyi wanted to wait for Zong Ze to nod, but looking at Zong Ze's calm expression, he changed his words to his mouth.

Zhou Wentai also noticed it and said thoughtfully: "Governor, did you go to the Nanhuangchengsi during the day?"

Zong Ze looked at Zhou Wentai and Liu Zhiyi without hiding it, and said, "Well, I can guess Li Yan's actions. This Jiangnan West Road is a pool of mud and water, and there must be someone who breaks the deadlock. Li Yan, Nanhuangchengshi is the most suitable one."

Liu Zhiyi listened, and after being stunned, she also understood.

Those who break the deadlock are not suitable for the governor's yamen or Hongzhou Prefecture. If the referendum is a huge disadvantage to the implementation of the "Shaosheng New Policy".

Li Yan and Nanhuangchengsi were not in the traditional official government offices of the court. They broke the situation. Success or failure was an opportunity for the governor’s office!

Zhou Wentai carefully calculated and said, "It is not impossible to break the situation with Li Yan and Nanhuangchengsi, but it must be controlled and not too out of order, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with."

Zong Ze drank a sip of tea and said, "I have told Li Yan that he can still restrain himself in that situation, which means that he knows it very well. There is no need to worry for the moment. Now, we have two things to do. The first is to set up a governor's yamen, convene the chief officials at all levels of Jiangnan West Road, sort out the officialdom of Jiangnan West Road, ensure smooth government orders and unite. The second is the Governor's yamen, the court should establish the Governor's Office, and manage the daily military affairs of various places to protect the people, suppress bandits, and tranquility. The Governor's Office should manage the inspections, soldiers, yamen runners, and servants at all levels of prefectures and counties. Clarify these clearly, which will be of great benefit to the stability of Jiangnan West Road and the implementation of various "new policies" and cannot be delayed."

Zhou Wentai listened and said, "These are two things. In fact, they can be done as one thing. Convene meetings of prefectures and counties, make a charter, and a dedicated person will host or supervise it. However, it will take time afterwards, and various problems will inevitably arise."

Behind the "new policies" of the Governor's Office, there is another purpose, which is to "concentrate power". Since the court wants to concentrate, someone will lose power, and there will be many.

Power is poison. Who is willing to give up easily when you get it?

In addition, Jiangnan West Road is already chaotic, and if a person is forced to rectify and chaos occurs, it can be clearly foreseen.

Zong Ze sat upright with a firm expression and said, "It is not scary to have troubles. I am worried that there will be troubles. The Nanhuangcheng Department and the Inspection Department must make use of them. If there is troubles, we must discover and solve the problem as soon as possible."

It goes without saying that using the Nanhuangcheng Department and the Inspection Department to "solve problems".

Liu Zhiyi observed Zong Ze quietly and gradually became a little enlightened.

This seemingly moderate plebiscient minister seemed to be angry by something and was really angry.

Zhou Wentai was not surprised that Zong Ze's idea was the same as the imperial court's idea of ​​"taking chaos into governing affairs".

Zhou Wentai considered it inside and out, and said again and again: "Mr. Li said that day that many big people would come to Hongzhou Prefecture. Governor, do we need to make more arrangements?"

The great men from the court came not only to support Zong Ze, but also meant "inspection". If Zong Ze did not do well or did not meet their expectations, then another consideration would arise.

Zong Ze understood what Zhou Wentai meant and said, "No. It's like what it is, but safety must be ensured. I have transferred 3,000 elite troops and will enter the city tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. When the time comes, Hongzhou Prefecture will clean up."

Zhou Wentai and Liu Zhiyi looked at each other, and both of them were not surprised by Zong Zetu’s three thousand elite soldiers.

Hongzhou Prefecture is so big, and the goal of three thousand elite soldiers is as big as that of two, but it can only cover the two.

Just as Zong Ze was about to speak, Han Zhengyi came in again and said with a serious expression: "The Lord of the Mansion, the Governor, the Political Consultative Office, the yamen runners come to repay you, and someone died in the Chu Mansion."

Zhou Wentai's eyes changed slightly and he looked at Zong Ze.

Liu Zhiyi was the same, but she spoke, saying, "It's not a bad thing to die, but Li Yan has to control how much he has done."

Regarding Liu Zhiyi's re-reminder, Zong Ze still said the same thing: "Let's ignore it for now. Let's do our business. The inspection of the Jiangnan West Road Inspection Department is tentatively set to be the fifth rank, and the right sect and political affairs will be governed by you. From tomorrow, the inspection of various prefectures and counties must be rectified. First of all, we must ensure that the inspection of various prefectures and counties are mastered and the orders are prohibited."

Zhou Wentai, as the governor of Hongzhou Prefecture, also served as the right-sponsor to politics, which was a kind of emphasis that broke the ancestral system and the court rules.

Liu Zhiyi said: "The inspector sent by the Ministry of Justice should be coming soon, but I don't know if he can do it?"

The court sent many officials to Jiangnan West Road. The three people in front of him, Zong Ze, Zhou Wentai, and Liu Zhiyi, were all here one after another, not local figures on Jiangnan West Road.

Zong Ze said: "I don't care whether the person who comes is competent. If you can do it, stay and go back if you can't. We will not talk about mercy in the future and don't worry about it."

Liu Zhiyi originally wanted to say that Lai Zhishao, the Minister of Justice, was the right-hand man of the Grand Prince. Seeing Zong Ze say this, he swallowed it back.

Zhou Wentai nodded and said, "I agree with the governor's words. I am afraid that there will be too many favors we face in the future. We must be more cruel."

Liu Zhiyi looked motionless and sighed in her heart.

Needless to say, Zong Ze, these two people have been in the Jinshi for less than three years and have taken off to the third-rank senior official. They are the ones who have been lifted up by the government and even the grand grandfather should pay attention to.

Zhou Wentai is the second-ranked figure of the current court and the "New Party". Cai Bian's favorite disciple, who dares to commit crimes easily?

But he has no backer and no qualifications, so how dare he refuse others willfully and not have the future. He is afraid he will ruin himself.

No one cared about Liu Zhiyi's inner activities. Zong Ze seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves again and said to the outside: "No one will see you."

"Yes." Chen Ju replied loudly outside.

Zhou Wentai said at this time: "Governor, won't you protect some?"

The most important way to deal with people is to "wind and suppress". Now, the Chu family is suppressed, so the rest is to win over some people.

"The time has not arrived."

Seeing that the sound of horse hooves outside was true, Zong Ze leaned over and told the two of them, saying, "We will not care about Li Yan. The matters of Nanhuangchengsi will be kept in mind and focus on what we have at hand."

Zhou Wentai and Liu Zhiyi nodded.

Li Yan was obviously angry, and he didn't know how much he wanted to do this, so they had to observe it carefully.
