Just as Li Chengqian and Lu Dongzan were irritating, Dou Kuan drove into Yongchang City with a thousand Xuanjia Army, and put the badges to the extreme. The former Yongchang Governor Han Kui and officials outside the city finally brought this special envoy who had been in Chengdu for several months back to the government office.

Looking at the Xuanjia Army with helmets and armor, Han Kui's teeth were hurting in his mouth. The Emperor's Guard led him to serve as the guard. The first-rank prince had no such show. This master's proposition was also great. And I also heard that this guy was deeply loved by the prince. With Yizhou from the fourth-rank governor, he became one of the seven ministers in just a few years and was in charge of political affairs. How could he not let the officials who were struggling to be envious of them?

After entering the Governor's Office, Han Kui handed in the seal letter according to the rules, and then introduced Dou Kuan as the chief minister to a group of officials of the Governor's Office and the garrisons of the Jinchi tribes in Yongchang. The imperial army was in Songzhou, defeated the Tubo army on the front line, beheaded tens of thousands, and shocked the southwest.

So these originally arrogant and unreasonable messengers are now respectful, and their little moves are all relieved. Who knows whether the red-eyed Tang army will lead their troops south and come to them too.

"Everyone, Dou's visit to Yongchang's regulatory place this time depends on His Majesty's kindness and the prince's love. Although it is just a temporary job, it has to be done according to the rules, so please take care of your colleagues.

Let’s do the errands together, and then I can explain to the court. As long as there is nothing to do with Yongchang and the tribes, your Majesty will be at ease. If your Majesty is at ease, then you will be at ease. If your Majesty is at ease, then you will be at ease."

Dou Kuan is an old official for many years and has been living in local prefectures for most of his life. He knew very well about the little bit of the officials below. If you come up, you should act like a polite official, then don’t check anything. Once your tail is closed, you will return in vain.

Besides, I have set up a net in secret over the past few months. If I am alerting the snake and just catching some smelly fish and rotten shrimps, it will not cure the problems between Yongchang and the Golden Teeth tribes!

Moreover, Dou Kuan's words just now have several meanings. First, let everyone in the lobby understand that he is a senior official of the emperor and the prince's confidant, and he is not a supervisor who can be sent to fool him every year, so you should be more careful when dealing with it.

Secondly, Yongchang is located in a wilderness, with the sky high and the emperor far away. There is no delicious food or fun. I am reluctant to come here. As long as you can pass the noodles, you will never make things difficult for you. Hello, I, everyone, there is no need to be so nervous, you are tense, as long as you can fool the emperor, let's live and go!

The last point is also the most important thing. The emperor and you are happy. Do you have to be happy too? You can't let us run thousands of miles to be good people in vain. If you don't have any cheesy words, we won't be able to guarantee you anything.

Hearing Dou Kuan say this, the originally serious atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became lively, and the officials also had smiles of "I understand" on their faces. As for the envoys of various tribes, they looked like their mothers were dead, and there was no hope for them.

"Governor, you have worked so hard to get the bus. The official paid out of his own pocket to prepare a table of wine in the backyard of the government office to welcome you. As for the affairs of the state government, it is better to rest for one night. Is it okay to take care of it after I have enough energy! You see?"

Han Kui, who had been surrendered to the chief, stepped forward and bowed to speak. If the official who had been a officials for so many years had not even said or looked at him, then his official hat would have been gone.

Well, he shook the fan in his hand, shook the robe on his body, and said indifferently: "What is Han Changshi doing? You are not suitable, it's too wasteful. How can I eat this alone?"

Dou Kuan’s job is the Minister of Integrity. If he can open this hole, it will be something he will never be able to catch up with in eight lifetimes. Besides, he can still curry favor with the Eastern Palace after serving it well. No matter how much money he spends, it is worth it. He no longer has to endure hard in this place where he can’t shit, and he will also go to Chang'an to enjoy the world of flowers.

Having figured this out, Han Kui continued with a smile: "Governor, you have been too worried. How can the lower officials be so ignorant and put you in a state of injustice! Today is just a drink among our colleagues. Brothers of the Xuanjia Army, the lower officials have also asked them to prepare food for them. It is really hard for them to guard the emperor all year round. Now they have come to Yongchang thousands of miles away. Can we not be comforted?"

Haha..., after a look at the officials of all sizes who echoed Han Kui, Dou Kuan showed a sincere smile on his face, and then said, "Okay, that official is more respectful than obedient."...

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Dou Kuan knocked on the table with the chopsticks in his hand, and said with a slightly drunk blushing face: "I know all the colleagues' wishes. I don't need to say anything extra, come, they are all in the wine." After saying that, at Dou Kuan's instructions, all the officials in Yongchang stood up to greet the "appropriate" governor.

After raising his hand to signal everyone to sit down, Dou Kuan said, "Everyone's hardship, the censors know about it. You have to collect grain and pay taxes to the subordinates, and you have to welcome and send them to the superiors. If you don't have some money in your hand, just relying on that little salary, let alone becoming an official, you can't afford to raise your children even if you are a wife!"

"I have been an official in Shandong since the beginning of Wude. I started as a small county magistrate. The annual salary was only enough to eat pickles to maintain it. This took twenty years. If I hadn't been briefed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I would have been just a governor of the Xiazhou Province, and my hair would have been white."

"But if you have received the kindness of yours, you have to work hard, build bridges and roads, help the people, encourage farming, study and worship Confucianism, use that little bit of money to do so many things, and you have to worry about being impeached, saying that you are so sad and have bad hands.

Every year when the Ministry of Personnel evaluates and receives the inspectors, they have to be careful, for fear that if you accidentally get the reputation of a stolen official, you will eventually confiscate your family and destroy your clan. Alas, it is not easy for an official to be an official!"

After hearing Dou Kuan's heart-wrenching words, some officials in the hall shook their heads and sighed, some covered their faces and cried, while others grabbed the wine pot with a depressed look on their faces and poured them. For nothing else, it is not easy to be an official with the words "It's not easy" for this imperial envoy. Not to mention the amount of salary, just say that this is a bottomless and clever officialdom, if you want to take this official position, you have to endure a lot of disrespect, and you have to make a lot of compromises, and there are also many unacceptable people who can't join in the flow! ...
