Traitors of the Manchu dynasty, why do you make me an emperor through the ages Chapter 138 The result of the court discussion! He Shen: My carriage is quite big
Chapter 138 The result of the court discussion! He Shen: My carriage is quite big
As soon as Li Qian said this, Qin Hui and Cai Jing's gang members who were just about to stand up to express their opinions were stunned and turned to look at their boss.
Other civil and military officials were also stunned, and Chengtianmen Square fell into an eerie silence again.
Cai Jing frowned, his face full of confusion.
Recently, he has also noticed Cai Bian's cold state, and even learned from Cai You that Cai Bian was not allowed to be tortured.
In Cai Jing's view, this was clearly Cai Bian expressing dissatisfaction, and he probably already knew the inside story of that incident.
In this case, even Cai Jing was a little guilty.
Now in public, His Majesty the Emperor wants to promote Cai Bian to an official position. If he still stands up and opposes the obstruction...then this brother really doesn't have to do anything and just turn against him!
In the rear, Gao Xun, the minister of punishment, seemed to have noticed Cai Jing's entanglement. He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there are several doctors in the punishment ministry who are better than Gao Shilian, such as Meng Changling and others. It is better for these people to take up the post of Longxi County." After that, Cai Bian will be appointed as the doctor of the Ministry of Justice."
Wu Shenglan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Cai Bian, the official of the Jingzhao Prefecture, has passed the exam. Logically speaking, he should not be qualified to be a doctor in the Ministry of Justice. He will be demoted to the county magistrate at the end of the year before he can convince the public."
Li Qian frowned: "So, I shouldn't promote this person?"
Gao Xun's face froze.
Qin Huize suddenly said: "Your Majesty, although the official Cai Bian got mediocre in the exam, he is not afraid of power and has the courage to do his job. It is precisely because he offended powerful traitors that he was suppressed every year."
"I recommend him to your Majesty because I hope that your Majesty can go beyond the evaluation method and not miss out on great talents."
All the officials lamented, what is happening to this world?
Am I crazy or is Mr. Qin crazy?
He actually went out of his way to recommend Cai Jing's younger brother in public?
Li Qian's voice was somewhat troubled: "But this move will violate the laws of the imperial court. I am the emperor, how can I take the lead in breaking the laws?"
"Why don't we review Song Min's case clearly first, and then decide on the position of Longxi County Sheriff..."
The flesh on Cai Jing's face twitched a few times, he stood up slowly, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think that Gao Shilian, the doctor of the Ministry of Punishment, is calm and measured. At this time of fatigue, he can indeed take on the important task of Longxi County Governor."
Although Gao Shilian is the second best choice, it seems that it is impossible not to use him now.
If there is evidence of guilt brought back by the imperial censor, and the emperor really intends to catch Song Min and fight him to death, Song Min will definitely not escape death.
At present, the only choice is to exchange the position of Longxi County Governor for Song Min's safety.
Although Gao Shilian had already moved closer to the emperor, he was a member of the Ministry of Punishment after all, and Cai Jing could accept this result.
Among his connections throughout the government and the public, there are many people who are other people's partisans, but so what?
Does it prevent these people from becoming friends with him, Cai Jing?
Even the emperor's ministers were not completely loyal to him. Cai Jing asked himself that he was not an emperor, let alone allow everyone to surrender to him wholeheartedly.
What Cai Jing wants is that these people can help him when needed.
Li Qian was half lying on the chair, looking at Cai Jing from a distance, and said with a smile: "Master Cai also thinks Gao Shilian is good? This is because he and the officials thought of it together."
"However, since Cai Bian can't do it, we have to find someone else to take over Gao Shilian's position as doctor."
"I don't know who to choose at the moment, why don't you all recommend one to me?"
Qin Hui gritted his teeth and saw that Cai Jing and His Majesty the Emperor had reached an agreement. If he didn't take action, his grandma's family would really have to pay for it.
He raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I think Cai Bian is the most suitable person. Your Majesty is concerned about the court's laws and does not want to over-promote Cai Bian, but the laws are just for people."
"If you violate the law, having a capable official like Cai Bian can benefit more people. I feel that no one can criticize His Majesty's behavior!"
"this……"
Li Qian fell into hesitation.
Seeing this, Cai Jing also followed suit and said: "Your Majesty, although Cai Bian is my younger brother, I know one thing, that is, you should not avoid relatives when promoting talents."
"Cai Bian is a man of great talent, but he was unfortunately dismissed from office due to a turmoil a few years ago. I don't want to see his bright pearl covered in dust, but now I am willing to recommend him to Your Majesty."
Now we seize the opportunity to help Cai Bian, so that if he can successfully recover, Cai Jing, his brother, can be considered a favor to him.
If Cai Bian still wants to turn his back on his brother, he must seriously consider his reputation.
Wei Zheng also suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, Cai Bian is an upright and honest man, capable of doing things, and can be of great use."
All the officials were shocked when they heard this.
Wei Zheng, Qin Hui, and Cai Jing actually reached an agreement??
How long has it been since this happened?
Li Qian was startled, then straightened up and looked at the officials below: "The three Qing family members said this, which makes me a little curious about Cai Bian. What do the officials think I should do?"
There was some hesitation on Wu Shenglan's face, but feeling the gazes of the officials, he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said with great reluctance: "Since all your lords and your majesty are optimistic about Cai Bian, I will violate the imperial law and recommend this person to be the doctor of the Ministry of Justice first." Let’s try it out for a while to see the effect.”
Baiguan:......
Are you an old actor now? Are you?
Li Qian stood up and came to the city wall, smiling and saying: "In that case, it's easy to handle."
"Let the Zhongshu Ministry of Education draw up the appointment documents for the two of them, especially the Longxi matter, and deal with it as soon as possible."
Qin Hui felt uncomfortable, but he still bowed and said: "I obey the decree."
Li Qian looked at the ministers below with a smile: "Now that the matter is over, the matter in Longxi has been decided."
"As for Song Min..."
He glanced at the fat man kneeling on the ground below, shivering: "When the Wuyang County Supervisory Censor comes back with the evidence, send it to the Ministry of Punishment for trial, and the result of the trial will be reviewed by Dali Temple."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment has received the order." Cai Jing bowed and replied.
"Dali Temple also received the order." Yan Maoqing hurriedly replied.
Although the censors were not satisfied with the result, they heard that they would wait for the evidence to be returned before the trial, so they did not have an attack.
Because these censors have the power to supervise all officials, even if they are not allowed to interrogate, they can still impeach the officials who are presiding over the interrogation and interfere with the interrogation.
"Okay, if there is nothing else to do, let this court discussion end here!"
Li Qian waited for a moment, and when no one spoke, he turned around and left under the city wall, and all the officials also left in turn.
Xingjia braved the sun and returned to Ziwei Palace. Wu Meiniang and Lu Pheasant were already waiting for him.
"Your Majesty, what is the outcome of the court discussion?" The two women looked at Li Qian nervously with a bit of worry in their beautiful eyes.
After all, this is a plan that has been planned for so long, so it is impossible to say that I am not nervous.
Li Qian smiled slightly: "I basically achieved everything I wanted."
"Really?" Wu Meiniang and Lu Pheasant looked at him in surprise.
Li Qian nodded with a smile and sat on the chair at the side of the hall.
Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi also hurriedly came over and sat on his left and right sides: "Your Majesty, has Gao Shilian and Gao Langzhong gone to Longxi?"
"Cai Bian became a doctor in the Ministry of Justice?"
Li Qian nodded, and after smiling he still felt a little helpless: "That's right, but it's a pity that I couldn't deal with Song Min."
He lay on the chair and put his hands behind his head: "Even if there is evidence from the censor, he will probably be fine in the Ministry of Punishment."
"Your Majesty..." Both women looked at him curiously: "How did Song Min come to the Ministry of Justice?"
Li Qian told them the details of the court meeting again, and they were stunned for a long time.
"His Majesty……"
Wu Meiniang's red phoenix eyes were filled with a wonderful look: "Your Majesty has tried his best. If I had changed my concubine, I would definitely not be able to do this no matter what!"
Lu Pheasant also nodded, with a look of admiration on his pretty face. He took Li Qian's hand and said, "I didn't know how to break the situation before, but your majesty started from the saying that heavenly fire descended into the world. It directly left Song Min speechless, and this turned decay into magic."
Wu Meiniang rubbed her neck and said softly: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Didn't you often say before that it's hard to find anything perfect in this world? He's just a Song Min. This kind of person's nature is hard to change. Sooner or later, we can catch him."
Although Li Qian had concerns, he couldn't express them in front of them.
He smiled and grabbed the weak and boneless hands of Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi: "My two beloved concubines are still considerate of me."
"correct."
Li Qian turned to look at Wei Zhongxian at the door: "Darling, when will Zhou Lei's case be heard again?"
"Return to Your Majesty in five days," the old eunuch said hurriedly.
Li Qian pondered for a moment: "You can make arrangements when the time comes. I want to go over and have a look."
It was just a way to go to see the court, Li Qian had long wanted to go out for a walk.
The capital city was too dangerous for him before, and he was busy with memorials, so he never got out.
Now that most of the military generals have led the imperial army on an expedition, the capital is much safer. In addition, Li Qian can process the memorials much faster. Now is the time to go out and have a look.
When Li Qian was the prince, the queen, his mother, still had very strict restrictions on him.
The late emperor liked women, and the queen saw it and was afraid that Li Qian would also be infected with this bad habit, so she restrained him very strictly.
Among the eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, Li Qian was the only one who did not get involved in the third item, which is also related to this.
Not only was the maid in the East Palace old and ugly, but she also did not allow Li Qian to leave the palace at will.
Therefore, Li Qian's memory of the capital has always been very vague.
The empress passed away last year, and Li Qian originally had the opportunity to go out after paying filial piety. However, the late Emperor He fell seriously ill again, and he had no chance to go out and wander around.
Li Qian has never seen with his own eyes what the capital of Daqian is like, and he has never personally experienced the people here, the customs and customs...
He felt that if he could go out for a walk, it would be much better than sitting in the palace practicing criticizing memorials.
But after hearing Li Qian's request, the old eunuch was shocked: "Your Majesty, do you want to leave the palace?"
"Is there any problem?" Li Qian had long expected that the old eunuch would not agree easily.
"No...just..."
The old eunuch looked troubled: "Your Majesty, if you go to Jingzhao Mansion to watch them in court, how can the judge dare to judge the case?"
"Those civil servants are all sycophants. If you go there, they will definitely not seriously resolve the case, but will act for you."
Li Qian smiled slightly: "I can dress up and go out of the palace in disguise, so no one will know it's me, right?"
The old eunuch was so anxious that he was sweating: "Your Majesty, this capital is too dangerous..."
"If others can't recognize me, is it still dangerous?"
Li Qian frowned and looked at him: "There shouldn't be bandits running rampant in the capital, right?"
"Of course not."
The old eunuch hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty will only be in danger if someone with intentions recognizes you and if someone else plots evil!"
Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi also looked worried: "Your Majesty, the best way is not to leave the palace. Even if you don't go out, Prime Minister Qin will definitely not let Zhou Lei suffer."
Li Qian smiled and shook his head. He had already been mentally prepared for the risks involved.
What's not risky?
Is it possible that I have to stay in this palace for the rest of my life?
He looked at Wei Zhongxian and said with a smile: "Big companion, please call Fengxian. He is very skilled in martial arts, so there will be no accidents."
"this……"
The old eunuch was still reluctant and tried to persuade him: "Your Majesty, it is easy to dodge an open gun, but it is difficult to prevent a hidden arrow. Even Lu Bu cannot prevent all accidents."
Li Qian was speechless. This was the first time that the old eunuch refused him so firmly: "Daban, am I not allowed to go out for the rest of my life?"
"I have been holding back in the palace since I was a child. Now that I have ascended the throne, it shouldn't be a problem if I want to liven things up in the capital, right?"
"Your Majesty is so powerful that you can watch it whenever you want...it's just..."
The old eunuch didn't know what to say, so he finally gritted his teeth and said, "If your Majesty really just wants to go live in the capital, then this servant knows where it is more lively."
Li Qian's eyes lit up and he became interested: "Tell me about it."
"Your Majesty, I'm just saying that of course I can't tell. Why don't I take your Majesty there for a walk tomorrow?"
"good!"
Li Qian looked at him with a smile. Although he didn't understand why the old eunuch suddenly became enlightened, he was still very happy. He stood up and patted the old eunuch on the shoulder: "I will go out early tomorrow morning. I won't eat breakfast. I will go out of the palace to eat!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The old eunuch bowed: "But please allow me to go and inform Lu Feng first so that he can make preparations."
"go Go!"
Li Qian waved his hand to signal him to hurry over. Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi looked at each other behind him, but still didn't say anything.
…
Beijing, Cai Mansion, in an elegant and luxurious study room.
Cai Jing sat in the first place, and the other party members sat around the strange stone with the pattern of tigers roaming the mountains. The scene was a bit dull for a while.
Everyone had already changed out of their sweat-washed official robes and put on comfortable and luxurious silk clothes.
Deng Xunwu sat in the front row and sighed quietly: "Master Cai, if we replace Gao Shilian this time, we will lose half of Longxi. This person will definitely not cooperate with us like Song Min."
"This is simply an unreasonable disaster!"
Others also nodded.
This was originally a normal "burning position" operation.
Who would have thought that Qin Hui suddenly wanted to cause trouble and insisted on instigating the emperor to recall Song Min to the capital, which triggered the subsequent turmoil.
And I and others have always just wanted to protect the position of Longxi County Sheriff.
Cai Jing smiled slightly: "Zichang, there is no need to be so pessimistic. In any case, Gao Shilian is from the Ministry of Punishment. He will still listen to what I say."
Gao Xun also comforted Deng Xunwu with a few words: "Yes, brother Zichang, at least we promoted Cai Bian and Cai Cai, but Qin Hui almost stole the chicken and lost the rice."
"After this time, I believe this person will not dare to provoke disputes easily again."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
He didn't get much advantage, and Qin Hui even suffered a small loss.
So the question is, who took advantage?
A gloomy look flashed across Cai Jing's face, and he turned to look at Gao Xun: "How is Song Min doing now?"
Gao Xun hurriedly replied: "Mr. Cai, my subordinates have sent him to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and let the people below him serve him with delicious food and drinks."
"It's just that now he doesn't eat much. He's always worried, fearing that the evidence Wei Zheng mentioned will reach the capital."
Cai Jing narrowed his eyes, and a cruel look flashed in his eyes: "Go tell him, don't be afraid."
"Since Zhou Ziliang hasn't returned to the capital yet, we can prevent this evidence from ever reaching the capital."
All the officials present were shocked, and Deng Xunwu said in disbelief: "Master Cai, do you want to give Zhou Ziliang...a slap?"
He made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Song Qiaonian, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, looked at Cai Jing worriedly: "Master Cai, the court meeting has just ended, and many people are waiting for this evidence. If we get rid of Zhou Ziliang, will the officials overreact?"
It’s not whether it will happen, but it will definitely happen!
Once this happens, it will definitely cause an uproar in the court, and it may have a greater impact than Song Min's incident.
A supervisory censor died inexplicably like this, and the court will definitely investigate to the end!
If your hands and feet are unclean and something is discovered, the consequences will be endless!
The atmosphere in the study was a little solemn for a while.
Cai Jing took a look at the reactions of the people sitting there and suddenly smiled: "What are you thinking about? When did I say that I wanted to keep that Zhou Ziliang?"
"What I said is evidence!"
"Whether it's stealing, robbing, burning with fire or soaking with water! As long as there is no evidence on Zhou Ziliang's body when he returns to Beijing, does it matter whether he comes back or not?"
Everyone then beamed with joy and praised Mr. Cai's clever plan.
…
At the time of the capital's court meeting today, Xingyang also ushered in their dawn.
Of course, there are two rays of dawn, one on the south bank and one on the north bank. Everyone is exposed to the rain and dew, and no one can suffer.
In order to welcome these two precious, noble and noble dawns, officials on both sides of the Taiwan Strait have made preparations early.
On the north bank of the Yellow River, Wuzhi County was the first county where Yan Song arrived in the disaster area. The local magistrate had already brought the county magistrate, chief registrar, Dian Shi and other reputable gentry from the county out of the city to welcome him.
When Prime Minister Yan got off the carriage, he saw officials and gentry standing in front of him with extremely bright smiles. The leader was the magistrate of Wuzhi County, Tong Qiufeng, who was wearing a blue official robe.
Tong Qiufeng looked like a young man, about thirty years old, with a short beard under his chin, looking at Yan Song with a flowery smile.
"I have seen Mr. Yan!" Tong Qiufeng bowed and saluted.
The people following him huffed and bowed: "The lower official has seen Prime Minister Yan... the common people have seen Prime Minister Yan..."
When they lowered their heads, Yan Song discovered that there was a long row of thick red silk blankets spread behind these people, stretching from here to Wuzhi County.
The flesh on Yan Song's face twitched, he lowered his head and just loaded up the carriage, but suddenly found that the ground outside was wet.
The soil was sticky and black, and there was a small puddle almost every few steps. The red carpet spread on it had been soaked through and stained with black spots, making it particularly ugly.
There was no emotion or anger on Yan Song's face: "What's going on with this blanket?"
Tong Qiufeng seemed to hear the displeasure in Yan Xiang's heart, and hurriedly explained: "Prime Minister Yan, I am afraid that Prime Minister Yan will arrive early, so I asked the people below to level the ground and lay out a red carpet."
"But I didn't expect that I was wrong in my estimation. Until now, the blanket has been soaked in water and is no longer as beautiful as before. Please forgive me."
Yan Song's face darkened: "Is it true that he is a person who likes luxury?"
"Everyone has withdrawn!"
Tong Qiufeng was shocked, and the officials and gentry present were also extremely surprised. They didn't understand why the flattery went wrong.
Yan Xiang doesn't like this?
"Yes, Prime Minister Yan, I will withdraw immediately, withdraw immediately!"
Following behind Yan Song, the inseparable Chang Sui Yan Yi sighed softly, as if he was lamenting that these people didn't understand his master.
Yan Song looked around again and saw no victims, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Tongzhi County, if I remember correctly, Wuzhi should also be a disaster-stricken area. Why are there no victims?"
Tong Qiufeng hurriedly replied: "Back to Prime Minister Yan, in order to prevent the victims from disturbing Prime Minister Yan, I specially asked people to send them to other places for resettlement."
Yan Song's face darkened: "Just because the truth has arrived, are you driving away the victims?"
"Tongzhi County, have you ever thought about what to do with the victims who were driven out of their homes by you? They were already displaced, and now where do you want them to go?"
"Xiaguan...Xiaguan..." Tong Qiufeng was so frightened that his legs were shaking, his face was pale, and he didn't know how to respond.
Now we know that the majesty of the left prime minister was so terrifying.
"Why don't you hurry up and invite everyone back!" Yan Song angrily scolded.
"Yes, Prime Minister Yan! Let's go now!" Tong Qiufeng immediately scolded the government officials at the rear, asking them to quickly invite the victims back.
After giving instructions to the officials, Tong Qiufeng turned back and looked at Yan Song with a smile, trying to save a little more impression.
"Prime Minister Yan, please get in the car. Let's go back to Wuzhi now, shall we?"
Yan Song did not get in the car, but slowly walked out of the car.
"No need to get in the car, I want to walk back to Wuzhi to see with my own eyes the disaster along the way and see how the victims are living."
"Ah?" Tong Qiufeng was dumbfounded.
The officials and gentry in the rear were also dumbfounded.
Are you just seeing a joke? This place is still a mile away from the county seat!
"Prime Minister Yan..."
Tong Qiufeng stumbled and asked: "But the red carpet has been removed..."
"We just have to withdraw."
Yan Song glanced at him, took off Yan Yi and threw it behind him, revealing a linen green shirt that was covered with patches and washed white. Then he rolled up his trouser legs, like an ordinary farmer, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
He stepped into the muddy water, passed through the crowd, and headed towards Wuzhi County.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Yan Yi put away Yan Song's robe and saw that they still didn't move, so she couldn't help but secretly cursed her lack of understanding.
"Tong Zhixian." He walked up to Tong Qiufeng and quietly poked his arm.
"ah?"
Tong Qiufeng was startled and then came back to his senses: "My lord, do you have any instructions?"
Yan Yi curled her lips: "I'm not an adult, I'm just a follower of the master."
Unexpectedly, Tong Qiufeng became more enthusiastic after hearing this: "Sir, please give me your instructions."
Yan Yi, a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, is much more powerful than him, a seventh-rank county magistrate.
Yan Yi had no choice but to point to Yan Song in front of her: "Master has already started to leave. Please quickly bring the victims back."
"If by the time I get to the county seat, the victims haven't come yet..."
At this point, Yan Yi stopped abruptly.
Tong Qiufeng was shocked and heard the seriousness in his words.
"Yes, yes, I will do it now, my official, I will do it now."
…
On the south bank of the Yellow River, another relatively fat dawn also fell here.
Misty rain gradually began to fall in the sky, and He Shen and his Excellency's carriage had already arrived.
The colorful and delicate flower house was wetted by the drizzle. Instead of being dejected, it actually looked more beautiful.
Zhou Dafang, the magistrate of Gaoshan County, stood at the front. He was a tall man with a square head and a tiger face. He looked nothing like a scholar.
But he happened to be a Jinshi from Erjia, but he just had such a tough appearance.
"Master He! I respectfully welcome Master He!"
Heshen opened the curtain of the carriage, looked at the drizzle in the sky, then looked at the many officials and squires in front of him, and smiled: "Zhou County, and all the elders and squires, we can afford to delay, and the disaster relief cannot be delayed.
Get up!"
"It's better not to say any more and go to the county seat quickly!"
"Yes, Mr. He." The officials and gentry sighed with emotion at Mr. He's resolute actions, got up one after another, got on the carriage, and headed towards the county seat.
But Zhou Dafang was the only one riding a horse, swimming among the carriages, and came to Heshen's carriage.
"Steward Liu, I have a few words to say to Mr. He. I wonder if you can be accommodating?"
Liu Quan, who was wearing a green robe, followed the driver and sat in front of the car. He glanced at him and stretched out a few fingers to sip.
Zhou Dafang smiled brightly, put his hands in his sleeves and stretched out his hands.
Liu Quan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly put his hand into his sleeve. He just touched it but found nothing.
Just when he was wondering, he felt a big warm hand holding his hand, stroking it carefully, stroking it...
Liu Quan trembled, and withdrew his hand as if he had seen a ghost, pointing at Zhou Dafang with wide eyes: "You...you..."
Liu Quan moved his butt backwards, turned around and shouted into the carriage: "Master, Master..."
There was a hint of crying in his voice: "Master, Zhouzhi County would like to have a word with you."
"Um?"
He Shen's voice came from inside: "Zhixian County? Come in, come in and talk, my carriage is quite big."
"Thank you, sir." Zhou Dafang smiled at Liu Quan again, then dismounted and got into the carriage.
Liu Quan looked at his back with dull eyes.
I don't know why, but I always have a bad feeling...
There was nothing wonderful going on in the carriage. Zhou Dafang reported to Heshen respectfully: "Master He, the wood and stone you ordered earlier have been prepared and transported to the embankment openings."
"Okay, okay!" He Shen looked at Zhou Dafang with a smile: "I know you are a capable person!"
Zhou Dafang poured He Shen a cup of tea with a smile, and then said: "Master He, the lower official also took it upon himself to help Master He arrange a welcome meeting just outside Gaoshan County. County officials, gentry and common people will all be present.
.”
"With this conference, as long as you show up, the hearts of the people in Gaoshan County will be stabilized!"
He Shen was startled and nodded slightly: "Okay, let's go and have a look."
"Thank you, sir."
…
Meanwhile, on the North Shore.
Prime Minister Yan had already walked away, so how could the others ride in the carriage? They had to follow him step by step.
Yan Song took the lead, looking at the land, villages, and farmland that were riddled with holes after the disaster...
When he saw scattered victims appearing in the distance, his face became a little brighter.
At this time, Tong Qiufeng came up again and said cautiously: "Prime Minister Yan, I have taken it upon myself to arrange a welcome meeting for Prime Minister Yan. It is just outside Wuzhi County. County officials, gentry and common people will all be present."
