Test

The next day, when the genius was light up, the officials were called out from the bed. When they heard that it was the imperial envoy, Lord Tang, who asked them to meet in the second hall of the government office, they suppressed their anger, washed and combed them with a fog, and rushed there. It was already a little cold in November, and Lords did not bring any luggage, so they did not have a cold cotton coat. They felt even more chilling in the morning. Fortunately, they all lived in the prefect's office or were close to each other, so they could still bear it, but they were all cold and their faces were red.

After arriving at the Second Hall, everyone found that the officials from Shandong Province were almost here, but the Tang Feng, who was called by someone, did not appear. However, the other party was Shangguan, so it was impossible to ask him to wait for him here, so although everyone was a little dissatisfied, they couldn't say anything. After waiting quietly for a while but not seeing Tang Feng arrive, the officials were a little unable to sit still and asked each other why Lord Tang asked them to come here so early.

After asking each other, everyone looked at He Bichang, the highest-grade here. He Bichang shook his head blankly and said, "I don't know this anymore. I saw that the adults drank so much wine yesterday, and I thought he wouldn't get up so early today. I didn't expect that he would come so early to call us here. However, since Lord Tang sent someone to ask us to come and ask, there must be his intention. Please be calm and wait!" After hearing what he said, everyone naturally did not dare to show any dissatisfaction anymore, and the hall also became quiet.

Although He Bichang didn't know what Tang Feng was thinking, there seemed to be a saying that was right. He called them to the second hall before the hour of Mao to wait until the beginning of Chen and Si, and Tang Feng came late. Everyone had been waiting here for more than an hour. There was an official in the middle who was very dissatisfied and wanted to find Tang Feng, but he was stopped by He Bichang and several experienced officials. He was still counting on Tang Feng to relieve himself of his crimes. How dare he offend him?

As if he was a little embarrassed, Tang Feng bowed to the officials as soon as he entered the door and said, "Sorry, I overdrinked my head yesterday, and I overslept, so I made you wait for a long time!" The officials almost snorted when they heard this: OK, you slept in the bed yourself, but let us get up early in the morning to wait for you, so I can't treat us like this. It should be because everyone was thinking, Tang Feng explained, "This is also because the people under me are too unrestrained. I told him to see all the adults today before drinking yesterday, so he called everyone in the morning. Who would have thought that I overslept by myself? I have just punished him, so please don't keep it in my heart."

People apologized so sincerely, and there was a reason for the matter. In addition, the other party's identity was there, what else could the officials say? They had to smile and said, "No, no, no! That guard is also loyal to work. Please don't punish him severely." After saying these polite words, someone couldn't help asking, "May I ask, what's the reason for calling me to come so early?" As soon as this was said, everyone's attention focused on Tang Feng, and even the disagreement he had just felt and the hunger that had not eaten something after getting up was gone.

After hearing this, Tang Feng immediately disappeared, and replaced by a solemn smile: "Since I have been ordered to calm the turmoil in Shandong and take on the decision of the temporary military and political affairs of the entire Shandong, I naturally dare not ignore it. What I want to ask you is, why doesn't Liaocheng open the city gate? Why don't the people in the city come out?"

"You saw this adult yesterday. There are rioters outside who will come to make trouble at any time. If the city gate is open, I'm afraid..." An official immediately explained.

"That was yesterday. Isn't there a rioter who appeared near Liaocheng today? Is it because of these rioters that you didn't even open the city gate? Isn't this arrogance of the rioters being sluggish?" Tang Feng's voice was filled with a strong dissatisfaction, and his expression also darkened. "And if the people in this county are not allowed to go out all day long, they will think that the government is incompetent and may even cause riots. You can't afford to be guilty at that time."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials present said. In fact, they knew the truth that Tang Feng said, but these people were scared out of their courage after being attacked by the rioters in Jinan. Along the way, they even saw the incompetence of the officers and soldiers and the fierceness of the people, so they had the idea of ​​being safe only by keeping themselves behind closed doors. After hearing what Tang Feng said today, they couldn't help feeling ashamed. Why Bichang was the leader of the officials? Seeing that everyone didn't speak, they took the lead and said, "What should we do according to the wishes of the lord? But to open the city gate?"

Tang Feng nodded without thinking and said, "Mr. He, you understand. Not bad. Since I have brought the people here, I will naturally open the four doors."

"But in this way, if the rioters really come, how should we deal with ourselves? Sir, they are all people who cannot tell the truth!" Meng Guoqing immediately raised his concern. Tang Feng smiled relaxedly: "Mr. Meng seems that you have become a frightened bird. If everyone has such a thought, how can the civil unrest in Shandong be calmed down? You also saw yesterday that those people are just a group of native chickens and tiles. The elite soldiers under my official command can kill them all scattered. What else is there to be scary?"

"This..." After looking at each other for a few glances, the officials finally came to a conclusion. Anyway, Tang Feng is the one who takes the lead now, and he is also the one who has the idea. If something happens, he will naturally be in front of him. It is not easy for him to have any dirty things. They nodded and said, "Since lord is so sure, we should take the order."

He Bichang said as he looked at the local prefect Hong Xuan. He immediately stood up and said, "The Lord will order the four doors to open to show our fearless heart!" Tang Feng nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Prince Hong remembers to order people to inform everyone in the city to let them know that our Liaocheng is safe and there is no need to stay at home anymore!" After the Prefect Hong responded again, he went out.

After Tang Feng handled the matter, he regained his smile: "That's right. How can we all be frightened by those common people? You must remember that this official will restore Shandong within one month!"

Everyone disagreed with his words, thinking that this was just his wish, but it was not easy to be too obvious in front of Tang Feng, so they had to smile and agree with a few words. Tang Feng seemed not to notice that everyone was perfunctory and continued to say, "Okay, the current situation has been opened. Now I would like to ask all the adults to introduce to me the current situation in Shandong, where civil unrest has occurred, and have the personnel from various garrisons in Shandong been mobilized?"

"In addition to Jinan, there are also Gaotang, Qingzhou and other places, major or minor turmoils. As for the officers and soldiers of the garrisons in various places, the officials had already issued orders before coming to Dongchang and came to rescue them." Meng Guoqing, as the censor, was the most clear about this matter and immediately replied. Seeing that he answered so quickly, Tang Feng also showed a satisfied expression: "Very good. As long as the officers and soldiers of the garrisons can move, these people with no combat power will naturally be scary. At that time, we will easily quell the turmoil and ask the court for credit."

When everyone heard Tang Feng's words, they didn't know what to say. They knew that the officers and soldiers of Shandong's garrison had no ability except to catch a few small thieves. Not only did the personnel lose more than half because the officials above deducted military pay, but the old and weak were also left behind. How could they count on them? However, they did not dare to tell Lord Tang directly about this situation, and they had to do so. Tang Feng seemed to be attracted by the beautiful prospects he had drawn, and did not feel the strangeness of everyone at all. He just pointed to the map that had been prepared and told them his opinions until it was approaching noon.

The officials had never eaten anything since they were called in the morning, and they had only filled up water. Now they finally saw Lord Tang willing to let him go, and they didn't say anything polite. They bowed and left the second hall. After a while, Tang Feng was the only one left in the hall. After seeing that everyone left, Tang Feng showed a hint of smile on his face. Everything he had designed today was already designed.

Let these adults come early, but they don’t show up just to see how everyone is performing behind them, who is the leader among these officials, and at the same time, they can also see the temperament of these people, so as to find out some people who are not too cunning, and they can be used at that time. Obviously, Tang Feng’s plan was very successful, and he immediately discovered some people who can be used, and also knew the position of He Bichang’s leader.

In addition, Tang Feng also deliberately proposed to find the officers and soldiers of the garrison in order to see if it was as Xie Baokun said, Shandong knew that the officers and soldiers were already in decay. Now it seems that this is true. Tang Feng knew the answer when the officials just showed awkward expression.
