According to the practice of the Qin Dynasty, the first-class king can set up his own cabinet. However, in order to show his humility to the royal family of the Qin Dynasty, King Dingnan did not set up his own cabinet, so there was no official position of chief minister. But looking at Zhu Tianci
His status should not be much different from that of the first assistant.
After drinking for three rounds, Su Yin smiled and asked Zhu Tianci, "Mr. Zhu, if the prince is no longer here, who will be responsible for local defense?"
Zhu Tianci was stunned for a moment, then pointed at a military general, "The local defense is currently in charge of General Han Ziping's deputy, General Cheng Yuanshan."
Su Yin stood up with a smile and picked up the wine glass, "General Cheng, Su Yin has been robbed several times by those mountain kings since he went south to Dingnan Province. I thought the people in the southwest were ruthless, and killing people and stealing goods has become a common practice.
However, this time when I entered Southern Xinjiang Province, I discovered that the public security could be managed so well. It must be the result of General Cheng working hard and diligently on military affairs. Su Yin feels much safer on the road these days. Thank you.
General Cheng, come on, let’s have a drink.”
Cheng Yuanshan hurriedly stood up. To be honest, many people present had higher status than him, but Su Yin was the first to toast him. Cheng Yuanshan felt a little unprepared, so he had to say quickly, "Your Majesty, you are so polite. Please protect the country and the people.
This is the responsibility of our Dingnan Field Army, and those thieves are not worth mentioning."
At this time, Han Yiping snorted softly, "Your Excellency, the Duke, complained about the poor public security in Dingnan Province. He is not familiar with the security in Dingnan Province. It is our Dingnan Field Army that maintains it. Why is it that Your Excellency, the Duke, is roundabout complaining about us against Dingnan Province?"
Isn’t the province responsible?”
Su Yin waved his hands repeatedly, "Where is it? Don't get me wrong, General Han. But since General Cheng is in charge of the defense of this province, he should be well aware of the teams coming and going."
Cheng Yuanshan noticed something was wrong, but before he could react, Su Yin continued.
"Su Yin had an incompetent subordinate who ordered me to go to the capital and ask for some materials for building a city from His Highness the Regent. A whole thousand carts were stopped by the Dingnan Field Army when passing through the southern province of Xinjiang.
I stayed, and my incompetent subordinate released the pigeon to me at the last moment, and then Su Yin realized that there was a misunderstanding between the two of us."
Su Yin smiled and said, "But since it is a misunderstanding, it can be solved by talking. Now that we have met, why don't General Cheng take that pair of subordinates and my main city materials back to Dingnan?"
Save yourself."
Han Yiping stood up and said, "I'm afraid Your Majesty the Duke has misunderstood. We determined that the Southern Field Army had detained a convoy, but it was not because they were passing through Southern Xinjiang Province. It was because when we were inspecting the convoy, the guards escorting the convoy collided with each other for no reason.
Dingnan Field Army, Your Majesty the Duke, please forgive me, our field army is full of rough guys and cannot compare with the refined officers and soldiers in the capital, so naturally we are not willing to suffer a loss. After a conflict between the two sides, we detained him."
Su Yin exclaimed, "I see, we were in the wrong, but it just so happens that Su Yin is here to apologize to you all. Qingyan, ask them to bring the things up and give you a small gift to express your apology."
Upon hearing this, Qingyan immediately ordered her men to carefully unload several boxes from the carriage.
