After leaving the school, Xiao Yuan went to Yiyang County Mansion, preparing to rest here for a night.

Whenever he visited a place, he would read the official documents of the local county governor. This seemed to have become a habit.

In the study room of the county government, Xiao Yuan was sitting where Zeng An usually worked, while the latter stood respectfully below, with his head bowed.

The bamboo slips contain county government affairs and reports to the county magistrate, including some business issues.

After Xiao Yuan read one volume, he opened another volume and read it very seriously.

Time passed quietly, and Zeng An stood respectfully below, not daring to disturb.

Just like that, I don't know how long it took, Xiao Yuan finally closed the bamboo slips in his hand, and arranged all the official documents on the table, then looked at Zeng An and said: "Yiyang's people's livelihood economy is getting better and better, not bad, Zeng An

Your Excellency has not disappointed me, but we still cannot slack off."

"Yes, please remember that I don't dare to take credit. It's all because of the king's wisdom that Yiyang can be so prosperous." Zeng An said.

Strictly speaking, Yiyang's current situation is due to the joint efforts of the two county governors.

After the destruction of the Jin Dynasty, the first county governor was Zhang Gongyou, which was a pioneering move.

Zeng An was the one who achieved stability after pioneering. Of course, he also had merit.

He is a capable person and has no problem in governing a county. He just likes to flatter others, but it is only human nature for a local official to want to show off his face to the king and seek an official career.

"Okay." After reading the official document, Xiao Yuan also stood up and said in a good mood: "Tonight, there is no need to hold a feast, and there is no need to have county officials accompany us. Just keep it simple."

"This, yes." Zeng An quickly accepted the order.

After dinner that day, Xiao Yuan was a little tired after a day of shopping, so he didn't go out anymore. He read a book in the room for a while and then went to bed early.

The next day, at the gate of the county government office.

Led by Zeng An, a group of officials gathered together, all wearing official uniforms, and a large number of guards, ready to see Xiao Yuan off.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Yuan frowned slightly and said: "There is no need to give it away, it is so grand."

Hearing this, Zeng An quickly said: "But Your Majesty, when the King comes here, we and his ministers..."

Xiao Yuan understood what he meant, waved his hand and said: "Okay, go ahead and do your work. This way, if I am comfortable, you will be comfortable too."

"This..." Everyone couldn't help but lowered their bodies and looked at each other.

But they didn't dare to disobey Xiao Yuan's order. In the end, they all knelt down at the gate of the mansion and said in unison: "I respectfully send you off to your Majesty——"

Xiao Yuan waved his hand again to signal them to level up, and then left here with Xu Huliangyuan.

It wasn't until a while after he left that everyone stood up one after another. Then, Yiyang Jun Cheng couldn't help but come to Zeng An's side, "Sir, what does the king have against us in Yiyang this time?"

"You are overthinking. The king is not an ordinary person. If you are not allowed to give it away, there is a reason why you should not give it away." Zeng An said.

"Well, I heard that the king was checking official documents in the study yesterday. I wonder if you can tell me something." The county magistrate couldn't help but ask.

"Well, your Majesty is quite satisfied with the current situation in Yiyang, and there is also a hint of praise in his words." Zeng An said thoughtfully.

"Oh? In this case, your Excellency has made great achievements in governing Yiyang. In the next two years, he is expected to be promoted."

"Where Yiyang can achieve today's stability and prosperity, it is inseparable from all of you. In the future, we will still need everyone to work together..."

On the other side, after leaving Yiyang, Xiao Yuan began to march towards Huandi. On the way, he, Xu Hu and others were riding horses. While walking leisurely, he asked casually: "Xu Hu

Ah, what do you think of Zeng An?"

The latter held the reins with his left hand, scratched his head with his right hand and said: "Your Majesty asked me to evaluate a county guard, but I don't know how to say it."

"Just say what's on your mind directly." Xiao Yuan just chatted casually.

"Oh." Xu Hu responded first, and then said: "This man is too smooth, like an old fox, and his words are impeccable. Also, their civil servants all have a certain virtue, which is sour and sour. I don't like it.

.”

Such a brave and invincible general with a straightforward personality would certainly not like to deal with civil servants.

When Xiao Yuan heard the words, he also smiled heartily: "The words of the Tiger Marquis are quite painful."

Obviously, he is a horse-riding monarch with a background in warfare. He has been in the military all year round. From his heart, he has a kind of emphasis on martial arts and despise literature.

Just like Shangguan Wenruo and Peng Shuang, these two people are extremely important founding fathers in Xiao Yuan's heart, but Xiao Yuan respects the former, while he loves Peng Shuang, and even calls them brothers.

This is a different emotion, and it is destined that the generals of Qin will willingly sacrifice their lives for the King of Qin.

Because almost all the senior generals were Xiao Yuan's soldiers at the beginning and followed him all the way here.

He laughed heartily. Xu Hu didn't know why, and he also followed suit.

Liang Yuan also laughed. After laughing, he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, after we enter Huandi, do we still need to dress casually to travel?"

"Well..." Xiao Yuan thought about it and said with a smile: "No need, Huandi should have received the news. Officials and officialdom, they also have their own set of things. When they learned that we were going to Huandi

, they are probably ready."

"If this is the case, I suggest that we deploy some escort teams from the army. After all, Huandi has just been recovered not long ago, so there will inevitably be no trouble," Liang Yuan said.

After he finished speaking, Xu Hu also said: "Yes, the king's safety is very important."

"Okay." Xiao Yuan didn't show any pretense and said immediately: "You can send a letter to Zhao Mu and ask him to send some soldiers over."

"No." Liang Yuan cupped his fists and accepted the order.

Zhao Mu's troops were stationed near Huan Di.

This letter was quickly spread to the military camp. After receiving the news, the latter did not dare to neglect. He immediately called a capable general and told him: "Your Majesty is about to inspect Huandi, and our army will be responsible for the defense and security."

, I will not say more about the important responsibilities here, but if there is any mistake, you should understand the consequences!"

General Pian was also someone who had participated in the Battle of Xipingguan. Hearing this, he immediately perked up and said, "Don't worry, General! Anyone who wants to harm the king will have to step over the corpse of the last general!"

"Okay! Go quickly and recruit the best troops to accompany you to protect the king's safety!"

The military order was issued here, and Xiao Yuan was also on his way. A few days later, he arrived at Wuxia Pass, where the generals also greeted him respectfully. Then, under the escort of a large number of elite soldiers, Xiao Yuan entered Huandi.

Just as he expected, the Huandi officials at this time had already received the news from their own channels that the king was about to inspect, and they were all prepared on the surface.
