That evening, Tang Yin hosted a banquet in the square outside the main hall of the palace.


    The local officials who entered the capital came to attend this time, and some ministers in the court also came. The scene was very lively and noisy one after another.


    Local officials seized this rare opportunity to toast and please the important officials in the court, hoping to find a solid backing for themselves in the court.


    Shangguan Yuanji on the right side and Qiu Zhenping on the left side gathered the most people. Officials everywhere did their best to compliment and flatter. Although Zhang Zhe, the imperial historian, was also an official of integrity and sat on an equal footing with Shangguan Yuanji and Qiu Zhenping, there were few officials around him.


    Everyone knows that Zhang Zhe''s temper is strange, smelly and hard. If you don''t please him, it may be nothing. If you please him, it will cause trouble for yourself. For such people, everyone has the same mentality. If they can avoid it, the farther they can hide, the better.


    Most of the first county captains and county captains in Fengguo are military generals. Qiu Zhen, as Zuo Xiang and the first military officer, is their old boss. The difference can also be seen from the attitude of officials towards Qiu Zhen and Shangguan Yuanji.


    For Shangguan Yuanji, people are polite and polite in addition to compliments. For Qiu Zhen, there is a bit of respect and closeness in the compliments. When talking, there are less scenes and more greetings and private words from the parents.


    Just as there was a great deal of noise in the meeting hall, a bodyguard sang loudly, "here comes the king."


    With the singing, the venue immediately quieted down, and the officials hurried back to their seats, sitting upright and dangerous, and did not dare to squint.


    Soon, Tang Yin walked into the square surrounded by a bodyguard and palace maids. Seeing the king coming, all the officials left the table and knelt down, kowtowed and saluted.


    Tang Yin''s seat was also arranged in the square, in the middle. As he walked to his seat, he glanced at the people on both sides with a smile.


    After taking his seat, he waved his hand slightly and said, "everybody get up!"


    "Thank you, king!" Everyone got up together and then sat down carefully.


    Tang Yin said with a smile, "don''t be too formal. Everyone is not an outsider. Just treat this banquet as a family banquet."


    Hearing that the king''s tone was relaxed and easygoing, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.


    Tang Yin looked down at the table in front of him, and then picked up the wine pot to pour the wine. On one side, ah San and ah Si hurried forward to take over the wine pot in his hand. Tang Yin waved his hand and motioned for them to come by themselves.


    He poured himself a glass of wine, held it high and said loudly, "you have come all the way. It''s hard all the way. I''ll give you a toast first!"


    "Respect the king!" They quickly picked up the wine cup, held it up to Tang Yin, and then drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.


    After drinking a glass of wine, Tang Yin poured another cup and said, "this second cup of wine is to honor the heroes who lived and died with us but failed to walk out of the battlefield alive. The reason why our country can have such a vast territory today is also due to the sacrifice and blood of these brothers!"


    "To my brave heroes!" When they picked up their glasses again, many people''s eyes were already red. When they fought in the South and North, they climbed out of the pile of dead people. Looking back on their former brothers in robes, they are now separated forever, and their hearts are inevitably sad.


    I''ll drink to you for the third time, Tang Yin


    "Your Majesty, I don''t deserve it!" People hurried to fill up the wine and had a third drink with Tang Yin.


    After three drinks in a row, Tang Yin''s cheeks also flushed slightly. He raised his sleeves, wiped the corners of his mouth, waved to the people and said, "we should eat as soon as we should, and we can''t drink as hard as we can!"


    With Tang Yin''s greeting, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became lively again, with laughter and laughter.


    After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, Tang Yin suddenly stood up, hands on his back, frowned, and walked slowly in the aisle in the middle of the banquet.


    Seeing this, people stopped talking and laughing, put down their wine glasses and bowls and chopsticks, and focused on him.


    Tang Yin walked by herself for a long time. Fang stopped in the middle of the aisle and asked the people around him, "let''s talk about your achievements since you became an official at the local level?"


    "Thanks to the blessing of the king, everything is well, and the place under the jurisdiction of Weichen is also booming!" Officials nearby heard Tang Yin''s questions clearly and said in unison.


    "Is it booming? But that''s not what I heard!" Hearing this, the faces of all the people present changed and looked at each other. Many people had slowly lowered their heads.


    Tang Yin youyou said: "Someone once told me that most of the county chiefs and county captains in our country are from the army. They are first-class good at fighting in the world and fighting on the battlefield, but they can''t manage politics, let alone control the soil and people. They are proud of their achievements and rely on themselves as meritorious heroes in the army. They are domineering in local areas, corrupt and lawless Bullies are no different. Tell me, is that the case? "


    As soon as he said this, no one answered at the scene. It was silent.


    Squinting slightly, Tang Yin looked around at the people around him, He continued: "but I don''t believe it. All my brothers are veterans and generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time. No matter what kind of strong enemies and dangerous situations they were able to deal with calmly, how could they not manage a county, a county or even a city well? My brothers have shed blood and sold their lives for my windy rivers and mountains. How could they become bullies in disaster areas?"


    Hearing Tang Yin say so, Shen Zhichen''s face turned red. Filled with righteous indignation, he suddenly stood up and said loudly, "this is someone slandering the king and provoking the relationship between the king and his ministers. Such courtiers have ulterior motives, and the king can''t spare him!"


    As soon as he took the lead, other local officials also fried the pot and said, "what Lord Shen said is very true. Saying that we can''t manage politics and bend the law for bribes is pure Farting!"


    "Yes! In the middle of the army, officials can command thousands of troops and horses, break through the array to kill the enemy, attack cities and seize land, and work hard, bleed and sweat for our windy rivers and mountains. How can officials become waste and bullies when they wait for the place in the mouth of flattering officials? It''s outrageous and hateful!"


    Listening to everyone''s abuse, Shangguan Yuanji took up his glass and drank quietly. It was he who proposed to Tang Yin that it was inappropriate to transfer generals from the army to local posts. What Tang Yin just said was basically what he said at that time.


    Tang Yin smiled, glanced at him without leaving a trace, and then waved to the crowd to calm them down, He added: "at that time, I was also very angry. Like you, I thought the audience had ulterior motives, but later, I thought what he said was also reasonable. Brothers are all soldiers. It is their duty to plan strategies and deploy troops, but governing the place is really not what everyone is good at. Those should have been done by civil servants."


    "But the king thinks the minister hasn''t managed the place well?"


    "The brothers here naturally have a clear idea of whether the governance is good or not."


    Tang Yin wandered back and forth in the corridor with her hands on her back, Say slowly: "I have a suggestion here, and I want you to listen to it carefully. Let the civil servants do what they should do. It''s time for everyone to go home and live a peaceful, stable and comfortable life after fighting in the army for so long. If a brother asks to return home now, the head of the county and the lieutenant of the county will get 10000 liang of silver, 3000 mu of fertile land, 5000 mu of silver and 1500 mu of fertile land. No Yes, what do you think, brothers? "


    His words were like a heavy bomb exploding in the hearts of the people. In a moment, many people turned pale. There is a lot of silver. With 3000 mu of land, future generations can have enough food and clothing. The conditions offered by Tang Yin are generous enough, but for county officials, these benefits can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket. Being the head of a county and the head of a county army is like sitting on Jinshan and Yinshan. Now who can accept them returning home?


    "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with your ministers. How can you give up your position and return home? Your Majesty must not listen to slander!" Zhao Yuting, head of Tianyang County, knelt down and said in a trembling voice.


    It''s better for him not to stand up and speak. Seeing him shouting injustice, Tang Yin''s anger immediately burned up.


    The corner of his mouth provoked him and said coldly, "slander? Do these ''slanders'' wronged you? Zhao Yuting, do you think the king doesn''t know what you did in Tianyang County?"


    Take out the cover of the grass box and go back to the table. I don''t know how many pieces of paper are there for you. Go back to the table and see how many pieces of paper are there for you As he spoke, he threw the paper in his hand on Zhao Yuting''s head.


    With a crash, the paper scattered all over the ground, and Zhao Yuting''s body trembled on his knees. He quickly gathered up the scattered paper one by one, then looked down, and the blood color on his face instantly faded away.


    On the paper, the illegal activities he has done in ordinary days are displayed one by one, with detailed records of the specific time, place and people.


    "I won''t tell you anything else, just the ancestral hall you built, the red sandalwood ancestral hall. The whole ancestral hall is made of red sandalwood. Even a Jinshan and Yinshan are not as valuable as your ancestral hall. Tell me where you got these red sandalwood?"


    "This... This..."


    "You can''t tell, can you? The king helped you say that when the palace was built, the imperial court collected red sandalwood from all counties. At that time, under the banner of the imperial court, you took advantage of such a large number of red sandalwood in Tianyang County. As a result, you didn''t give one to the imperial court. It was all used by you to build ancestral halls. In your eyes, is there a imperial court or a king like me? Greed is insatiable. Pigs and dogs are inferior to you, How can the king allow you! " Tang Yinyue said angrily and shouted, "come on, lift the guillotine!"
