Normally speaking, Widow Qing is nominally Hu Hai's unknown elder, so it is reasonable for her to go out of the city to greet Hu Hai, and it is not a surprise.
What made Lin Ze wary was that she brought Shu officials and aristocratic families out of the city to greet him, and it was just right. Lin Ze and the others welcomed Hu Hai when they first arrived in the capital of Shu.
As a result, Lin Ze had to wonder whether this widow Qing was trying to pull some trouble?
But Lin Ze felt that it was impossible. After all, with Hu Hai's status and strength, and the righteousness in hand, even if Widow Qing could unite all the forces in Shu, she might not be able to resist Hu Hai.
Lin Ze, who couldn't guess, planned to wait and see what would happen. If he really wanted to stir up trouble and make Hu Hai angry, the Ba family would probably suffer a big loss. Besides, he might not be as ruthless as Hu Hai.
Widow Qing brought Hu Hai to the gate of the Governor's Mansion in the city. She planned to take Hu Hai directly into the government office and go to the lobby to reminisce about old times, but she was stopped by Lin Ze with a smile.
Widow Qing looked unhappy and said, "Young man, what do you mean?"
Hu Hai followed and asked: "Lin Ze, why are you blocking me in front?"
The smile on Lin Ze's face did not change, and he said with a smile: "Reporting to the young master, now that you have arrived at the governor's office, according to Qin law, you must first take out your majesty's letter of appointment and announce in front of all the officials that you will officially take over as the governor of Shu.
One position.”
"The appointment is a matter of public service, and the matter of reminiscing about the past is private. A prince should put public affairs first before private matters, and handle the appointment matter first. As for reminiscing about the past, we can wait until this matter is finished. I don't think the old lady will care about wasting this time.
, you say so."
Lin Ze said the last sentence to Widow Qing, and looked at her with a smile after speaking.
The widow Qing sighed and said to Hu Hai: "Master Hu Hai, you have a good subordinate, just do as he says."
Hu Hai couldn't help but nodded.
Upon seeing this, Lin Ze immediately shouted to the team behind him: "Where is the courtesy officer? Why don't you hurry up and arrange for the young master to take office?"
Then, under the guidance of the etiquette officer, the Qin Emperor's appointment of Hu Hai was read out. After all the officials paid homage to Hu Hai, Hu Hai officially took up the post of governor of Shu in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion. Widow Qing and others were also honored in the hall.
talk.
Lin Ze stood next to Hu Hai, who was sitting on the main seat in the main hall, looking down at the Shu martial arts family headed by the Ba family, as well as the Shu officials, with a smile on his lips. In this way, the host and guest changed places.
Putting public affairs first before private affairs may seem like a small matter, but its meaning can vary greatly. If Hu Hai had not officially taken over as governor, he would have been sent to the government office in the name of reminiscing about the past, as if he were a guest, and his momentum would naturally be at a disadvantage.
But now that Hu Hai has officially become the governor of Shu, in this government office, in terms of the owner, and even this land, Hu Hai is the boss. No matter what is discussed next, the initiative will be firmly held by Hu Hai.
This is why Lin Ze insists on finalizing his name before entering the government office. After all, only if his name is correct can his words be correct.
Hu Hai was a straight-tempered man. He chatted with the widow about their daily routines for nearly half an hour as if there was no one else around. Lin Ze stood aside and listened with interest. After all, many of the topics were about Emperor Qin and the widow talking about some normal past events.
Lin Ze needed to use these clues to judge how much weight the widow Qing held in Emperor Qin's heart, so as to deduce how much suppression he should go to if the Ba family had to be a "stumbling block" to Hu Hai's control of Shu.
It aroused Emperor Qin's disgust.
However, other people in the palace were in pain. Since the matter involved Emperor Qin, how could they dare to listen too much for fear of dying quickly enough?
In the end, Bachchan, who was sitting next to Widow Qing, secretly signaled to his mother not to continue. Widow Qing stopped talking and sighed: "It seems that I am really getting old and like to nag more and more.
Master, won’t you be bored?”
Hu Hai said indifferently: "What did Aunt Qing say? Hu Hai is very happy to be able to chat with Aunt Qing about the past."
Widow Qing showed a kind smile and said: "That's good. By the way, the young master is serving as the governor of Shu this time. What ideas and ambitions do you have on how to govern Shu?"
When Lin Ze heard this, he cheered up and said to himself: "The meat show is coming."
Hu Hai didn't think too much and replied directly: "What else can I think of? Of course, I should govern Shu well. Before leaving, my father told me that as the governor of Shu, I need to participate in everything and train myself well."
."
"According to the requirements of my father, I must at least manage the fertile wilderness in an orderly manner. In this regard, does Aunt Qing have any good suggestions?"
Widow Qing's smile did not change when she heard this and she replied: "Aunt Qing doesn't have any good suggestions. I'm just a little distressed. At such an age, the young master has to take on such an important responsibility. I'm afraid it will be very hard."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Lin Ze's mouth. His little tail was exposed so quickly?
Hu Hai said unconcernedly: "Don't worry, Aunt Qing, how can I do everything by myself? No, when I came to Shu to take office, I brought a large group of disciples with me to share my worries and solve my problems. Especially Lin Ze, who is extremely resourceful and resourceful.
I plan to appoint him as the right admiral to assist me in handling official duties."
Lin Ze...
As expected, Widow Qing took a deep look at Lin Ze, coughed slightly and said: "Although the people brought by the young master are extremely intelligent, they are not familiar with the Shu land after all. If the young master wants to govern the Shu land well, he must rely on those people."
It's the original officials who are familiar with Shu."
"If they are loyal to me, I will naturally use them. If anyone has second thoughts, the worst thing is to clean them out and replace them with a new batch," Hu Hai said casually what Lin Ze had said to him before.
Lin Ze secretly praised: "Well said."
Sure enough, the other people sitting in the hall had calm expressions on their faces, but there were waves in their hearts, and they couldn't help but glance at the people around them.
Widow Qing heard the words and said with a smile: "Young master, you don't have to worry. All the officials in Shu are loyal to the Qin Dynasty, so you can use them with confidence."
Hu Hai responded unequivocally: "Well, I'll look back at the situation and then I'll keep the useful ones and get rid of the useless ones."
Widow Qing coughed heavily and said: "Master, you must not have such an idea. In Shu, barbarian tribes are mixed. Those officials are best at appeasing these tribes. Once they are removed, they may cause great chaos."
Hearing this, Lin Ze's smile grew thicker. Is this widow a lobbyist on behalf of officials from various places? How could she be so kind? Why does it sound like she wants to use Hu Hai's help to eliminate some people?
Sure enough, Hu Hai followed the widow Qing's words and said: "Don't be afraid, isn't there Aunt Qing here? With the power of the Ba family, it can't appease those barbarians?"
The widow Qingzheng wanted to say a few words of humility, but she heard Lin Ze say next to Hu Hai: "Sir, why bother the old lady about this? Hasn't the master forgotten that His Majesty dislikes rebellion the most, and has always killed all those who rebel against the party?"
"If there is really a barbarian rebellion, the prince can order a large army to encircle and destroy a few tribes. As a model, other tribes will naturally not dare to cause chaos again."
The reason why Lin Ze mobilized the Sirius Army to come to Shu was because he wanted to use the rebellious barbarians as training targets. If this really happened, Lin Ze would be extremely happy.
Even Widow Qing’s face is a little ugly. You must know that the Ba Kingdom was originally founded by five large tribes. Most of the existing tribes in Shu have some connection with the original Ba Kingdom. Lin Ze’s words
The words made her a little angry.
Then he couldn't help but reprimanded: "Young man has such a murderous nature. You should cultivate your moral character more, otherwise you don't want to be killed one day because of impulsiveness."
His words were full of threats.
Lin Ze could not be frightened by this sentence, so he replied with neither arrogance nor humility: "Old Madam, I have misunderstood. I am only murderous towards the rebels, not ordinary people. If I die at the hands of the rebels, Young Master
I will definitely kill all the rebels and avenge you."
Your Ba family wants to take action, but just try it and see if you can't help but arouse Hu Hai's anger.
For a moment, the hall was filled with gunpowder smoke.
Lin Ze still couldn't figure out Widow Qing's purpose for doing this, but since she had the idea of jumping out to cause trouble, he had to try to push her back.
