Three days later, Yun Zheng fulfilled the agreement and left Gan Tang.
Of Gan Tang's nine thousand soldiers and two thousand county soldiers, about eight thousand were willing to follow Yun Zheng.
However, many people had to bring their families with them, and Yun Zheng had other things to do in Jingyang Prefecture, so he could not follow the main force. He could only take his people away first, and Shen Kuan and others led the army to Juping.
The situation on Gan Tang's side also reached Yun Li's ears at the first opportunity.
Upon learning of Gan Tang's situation, Yun Li's face turned ashen. He walked into the inner chamber of the Prince's Mansion without saying a word, and only left the inner chamber after torturing a death row prisoner half to death.
"call……"
Yun Li breathed in the fresh air outside the inner prison and tried hard to adjust his mood.
He also knew that his behavior was childish and purely self-deception.
But he had to vent his anger towards Yun Zheng, otherwise, he was afraid that he would be angered to death in his position as the Crown Prince Regent.
Facts have proved that although this method is naive and self-deceptive, it is surprisingly effective.
...
...
After whipping the death row prisoner with Yun Zheng's portrait on his face dozens of times, the anger in his heart did dissipate a lot.
After adjusting his mood, Yun Li wanted to summon Tang Shu to the Prince's Mansion, but after thinking for a moment, he gave up the idea.
never mind!
You should go to the Ministry of Personnel yourself!
Just think of it as an inspection of the Ministry of Personnel!
Having made up his mind, Yun Li rushed directly to the Ministry of Personnel.
Not long after, Yun Li arrived at the Ministry of Personnel and specifically told the guards not to report it.
"How dare you! You dare to report such mediocre people? How much benefit did you receive from these people?"
As soon as Yun Li arrived at the inner hall of the Ministry of Personnel, he heard Tang Shu getting angry there.
Yun Li didn't disturb them, just stood at the door and listened quietly.
People are like this sometimes. When they are upset, they will feel better when they see others are also upset.
This is his mentality now.
In the whole court, he is not the only prince regent who is so angry about all kinds of messes that he wants to curse!
"And you, Yan Jun, when will it be your turn to get involved in the appointment of generals in the army?"
"Why, you are tired of staying in the Ministry of Personnel and want to go to the Ministry of War, right? Do you want me to recommend you to the Ministry of War?"
Tang Shu's voice was heard again from inside the door, and then someone was heard kneeling on the ground.
"Sir Tang, I just heard about this general's deeds by accident, so..."
"fart!"
Tang Shu interrupted Yan Jun rudely, "Why haven't I heard of these deeds? How dare you recommend such an idiot who can't even put silver in the wrong place? Feel your neck carefully and see which is harder, your neck or the executioner's knife!"
Yan Jun's heart trembled, and he denied it flatly: "Sir, I really didn't take the money!"
"Think about whether you believe it or not before you tell me!" Tang Shu snorted coldly, "The Ministry of Justice is not far from here. If you go there and surrender yourself, I can even speak a few good words for you in front of the Crown Prince and try to get leniency..."
Hearing the noise coming from inside the door, Yun Li couldn't help but nod and smile.
Well, Tang Shu is pretty good.
Yun Li walked to the door with a smile and asked, "Master Tang, who do you want to say a few good words for me?"
Seeing Yun Li suddenly appear, Tang Shu and the officials from the Ministry of Personnel were both stunned.
After coming to his senses, Tang Shu quickly stood up and stepped forward, "Your humble servant pays respect to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need to be polite."
Yun Li stood with his hands behind his back and glanced at the frightened Yan Jun. "I just arrived at the door and heard Lord Tang getting angry. What happened?"
Tang Shu smiled awkwardly, "Your Highness, I was just looking at the list of promotions submitted by the officials of the Ministry of Personnel based on the performance of officials from all over the country this year. I found a problem and I couldn't control my temper for a moment..."
"Really?"
Yun Li smiled, "What are the problems? Tell me."
Tang Shu opened his mouth slightly, glanced at a few guilty officials with a displeased look, and then reported the situation truthfully to Yun Li.
Actually, it’s not a big deal.
He believed that several officials had mediocre performance and should not be promoted at all, but those officials appeared on the promotion list.
This kind of thing is very common in the Ministry of Personnel.
As for political achievements, sometimes different people have different opinions.
What he thinks should not be counted as political achievements may be considered as political achievements by the officials below him. Everyone has different evaluation criteria.
As the Minister of Personnel, isn't he responsible for keeping the gate?
He would first pass this hurdle, and when he felt it was appropriate, he would report it to the Crown Prince Yun Li. Yun Li would certainly order people to verify the performance of these officials before finally finalizing the list of promotions.
"I see!"
Yun Li nodded and smiled, then asked knowingly, "Then what did you mean by asking people to surrender to the Ministry of Justice?"
Tang Shu paused slightly, gave Yan Jun a look that told him to wish him well, and reported the situation truthfully to Yun Li.
“There’s no need to make a fuss about this.” Yun Li smiled. “As the saying goes, the people of the world recommend the officials of the world! As long as he has a clear conscience, even if he recommends a general across departments, it is also recommending virtuous people for the court!”
After saying that, Yun Li stopped interfering in the matter and just asked Tang Shu to walk with him.
He only needed to maintain the prestige of the prince and there was no need for him to interfere with Tang Shu's decision for the sake of a small official from the Ministry of Personnel.
Tang Shu didn't know why Yun Li suddenly came to the Ministry of Personnel, so he could only follow Yun Li to the back hall of the Ministry of Personnel.
"Old Six has already left Gan Tang, but he took away 8,000 soldiers from Gan Tang, as well as some of the soldiers' families..."
After walking for a while, Yun Li took the initiative to tell Tang Shu about the news he had just received.
"well……"
Tang Shu sighed softly, and then comforted Yun Li: "There is nothing we can do about it. Please relax, Your Highness. As long as Your Highness works hard to govern the country..."
"I understand."
Yun Li waved his hand, "I'm just upset and want to vent my complaints to you! The main reason I came here today is to ask you what you think about the new governor of Minzhou."
Governor of Minzhou?
Tang Shu thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't have anyone suitable to recommend right now, but I do have some ideas about the new governor of Minzhou!"
"explain!"
"I think the new governor of Minzhou must be both civil and military, able to govern Minzhou and lead troops in battle! We can even consider concentrating the military and political power of Minzhou in one person! But this person must be absolutely loyal to the court!"
"The concentration of military and political power in one person? I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right?"
"I believe that if the military and political power cannot be concentrated in one person, the military and political leaders may be alienated by Yun Zheng, and even be provoked into internal strife by Yun Zheng! I understand your concerns, so I said that this person must be absolutely loyal to the court!"
"What Lord Tang said really reminded me! Based on my understanding of Lao Liu, he is really capable of doing such a thing!"
Yun Li said this and fell into deep thought again.
Someone who is absolutely loyal to the court?
Not only do you know civil governance, you also need to be able to lead troops in battle?
Looking around the entire court, there are not many such talents.
Zhao Ji and Xiao Wanchou count as two!
But there is no way they can become the governor of Minzhou!
Or, Xue Che?
Xue Che also served as the Minister of War for a year. Anyone who can be the Minister of War will definitely have no problem governing a state!
But he was still not completely at ease with Xue Che.
Xue Che was thrown into the Heavenly Prison because he was unwilling to lead his troops to fight against Lao Liu.
It is hard to say what the result will be if we send him to Minzhou.
Or...Xu Yungong?
Soon, Yun Li denied Xu Yungong again.
There shouldn't be any problem for Xu Yungong to be the governor of Minzhou.
But it is really hard to say whether Xu Yungong is good at leading troops in battle!
You can’t learn how to lead troops in battle just by working as a doctor in the Ministry of War for a few days.
Yun Li thought about it, but couldn't think of a suitable candidate. He could only secretly make up his mind and go to the Ministry of War to talk to Xiao Wanchou...
