"Having said that, even if this Chen Tingshi agrees, I, Yunzhou, don't drive, I can't take office if I want to." Duan Shaojun didn't have the same good mood as Xu Changshi, he rubbed his slightly tense eyebrows and smiled bitterly.

"Why is that?" Xu Changshi looked at Duan Shaojun with some astonishment and asked.

"Today, apart from verbally promising my younger brother that I will go to Yunzhou tomorrow to drive away, what else is there? Nothing, neither told me where the yamen was, nor told me what I should do, and even, I didn't even squeak about such a major event as introducing officials at all levels in Yunzhou......" Duan Shaojun sat on the back of the horse, swaying his fingers and counting them to Xu Changshi.

Xu Changshi's face went from being relaxed at the beginning, to being directly black at the bottom of the pot in the end. "Old Dog Chen, dare to bully me like this?!"

"Brother Xu, don't worry, in fact, long before taking over this task from His Royal Highness, the younger brother felt that this task was not easy, otherwise, His Royal Highness has been in Yunzhou for several years, and he is not a civil official and talent, why did he let the younger brother come to take over this matter until now?"

"In a word, this Chen Thorn History must be a difficult old guy, and he is also the Yunzhou Thorn History of the Son of Heaven, no matter how His Royal Highness is, he can't drive away the head of a state, right?" Duan Shaojun saw Xu Changshi's puzzled expression, so he had to explain again. For the time being, it is not the time to tell the truth to this Xu Dachangshi, you have to observe and observe first to see if he is a suitable partner.

"Yes, yes, if Your Highness does that, it will be impossible to continue to stay in Yunzhou." Xu Changshi slapped his thigh and came back to his senses, although Li Youwen is the nominal supreme commander of Yunzhou, her main position is still in the army.

In Yunzhou government affairs, she has jurisdiction and command, but she does not have direct governance power. Whether it is her, or Duan Yuanzhong, the envoy of Shuozhou Jiedu, can only govern, not govern. If Li Youwen wants to jump out and directly handle the government affairs of Yunzhou, in that case, above the court, let alone Zhao Linfu, even many civil officials who originally looked at Li Youwen would jump out.

Because if Li Youwen does that, she has already touched the interests of the civil officials, or rather, Chiguoguo's, blatant seizure of power.

#####

If Li Youwen does that and the civil officials don't jump out, wouldn't it mean that in the future, all the civil and military affairs in the border towns and areas will be under the rule of the military generals, which is definitely not something that those scholars and civil officials can endure.

Under the condition of not offending the ruling bureaucrats, he installed his own people into the Yunzhou civil official system, and he also needed to quietly seize power, which is actually what Li Youwen needs to do.

After all, although he has the name of Zuo Yulin Wei Changshi, he is definitely a white, tender and tender civil official, and his dignified identity as the champion of the Tang Dynasty is definitely the target that every scholar in the Tang Dynasty yearns for and envies.

If Zhuang Yuanlang does not belong to civil officials, who dares to say that he is a civil official? Therefore, if Duan Dagongzi wants to take charge of Yunzhou's government affairs, at least the local bureaucrats have no way to accuse Duan Dagongzi in terms of identity.

As for other aspects, it is naturally only up to Duan Shaojun himself, and Xu Changshi can only provide some opinions and suggestions to Duan Shaojun in the form of a staff member at most, such as telling Duan Dagongzi which official has what kind of character and ability in the state administration.

"This ...... I don't really know about that. Xu Changshi smiled at Duan Shaojun embarrassedly. The main reason is that the foolish brother has not dealt with these Yunzhou officials, and those people also respect me, the princess mansion head......"

"I see, it's no wonder you, brother." Although Duan Shaojun, who was sitting in the private room of the restaurant with Xu Changshi and drinking, was a little disappointed in his heart, he didn't feel anything, because Duan Shaojun at least didn't think that the local officials would have too much intersection with you, a princess and the chief of the mansion.

"However, in the past few years in Yunzhou, I have heard a lot of hearsay about Yunzhou officialdom, but I don't know if I can take it seriously." Xu Changshi touched his nose a little embarrassed, raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Duan Shaojun raised his eyebrows and nodded at Xu Changshi. "Please also ask the brother to show me, whether it can be taken seriously or not, even if it is a joke, it is good to listen to it, anyway, what is there to say between our brothers?"

Xu Changshi suddenly perked up, and while drinking wine and eating side dishes, he began to talk eloquently, telling him a lot of rumors and rumors about the Yunzhou bureaucrats that he knew.

Duan Shaojun calmed down and listened carefully, and directly placked the bizarre and exaggerated and even strange rumors with a mysterious color, but he paid attention to some rumors that felt strange after thinking about it carefully.

For example, only about one-third of the people in Yunzhou City serve on Yunzhou political affairs, such as building city walls or repairing roads, while nearly two-thirds of the service time is spent repairing their own houses for Yunzhou officials.

"There are even rumors that the owner of the Liu Mansion in the west of Yunzhou City is not surnamed Liu, but surnamed Chen...... And this Chen Ma is our Chen Thorn History, the golden walls in the mansion are brilliant, and the extraordinarily luxurious ......"

"Then who is the owner of the Liu Mansion, Brother Xu, have you inquired?" Duan Shaojun's heart moved, and he asked Xu Youjun.

"Brother Yu was curious at the time, and he also asked, only to know that there are indeed several big families surnamed Liu in our Yunzhou City, and that Liu Mansion is said to be the newly built mansion of Liu Shen, the best and richest man in Yunzhou. However, what is curious is that the mansion built by Liu Shen, he rarely goes there, and still lives in the old mansion located in the south of the city. Xu Youjun raised his hand, scratched his scalp, and said with a drink.

"There's no problem here, there's a ghost." What kind of person Duan Shaojun is, just based on what Xu Youjun said, he can judge that there is definitely a cat here, and the cat is not small.

"Has His Highness ever known about this?" Duan Shaojun thought about it and then asked Xu Youjun.

Xu Youjun thought about it and shook his head. "Your Highness has been fighting all year round, staying in the army for a long time, and the time to return to the house is less than ten days in the past few ......years, I am afraid that it will take less than ten days" Speaking of this, Xu Changshi's expression looked a little resentful.

#####

Think about it, a dignified princess mansion chief Shi is completely a princess mansion housekeeper, except for managing the princess's mansion, everything else has nothing to do with him, and his own officials stay in the barracks all day long, it would be strange if he was not depressed.

"So what should we do next?" Xu Changshi quickly put this negative emotion behind him, and looked at Duan Shaojun with an expectant face.

Yes, such a day is at least a hundred times better than staying in the princess's mansion all day long and being in a daze. Even, Xu Changshi can't wait for Duan Shaojun to make something big, it will be more fun, at least Xu someone, who has been empty and lonely for too long, will feel that life can be regarded as colorful.

His typical attitude of watching the excitement is not a big deal, fortunately he didn't let Duan Dagongzi find out, otherwise he must have felt that he should not have made such a bad friend.

"I don't know yet." After Duan Shaojun thought about it, he shook his head slowly, and before Xu Changshi's face could be disappointed, Duan Dagongzi's next sentence suddenly lifted Xu Changshi's spirits. "However, this rumor you just mentioned, I am really interested in it, little brother."

"Brother Xian, but I want to find out who the Liu Mansion belongs to?" Xu Changshi stroked his brows, his face full of fighting spirit. "How about leaving this matter to Brother Foolish?"

Duan Shaojun was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Xu Changshi's impatient look, he couldn't help but cry and laugh in his heart, this product is really, too enthusiastic. "Brother Tai's kindness, the younger brother remembers, but it is not suitable for Brother Tai to take action in this matter."

"Oh? Why is this why the virtuous brother does not believe in the ability of a brother? Xu Changshi asked a little depressedly.

Duan Shaojun hurriedly shook his head. "Little brother has no such intention, but, what is your identity, brother? Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion Governor, your appearance to inquire about this matter will inevitably arouse the vigilance of people with hearts, and at that time, although you have gained, you will also be shocked......"

Duan Shaojun's words made Xu Youjun quite useful, and after thinking about it carefully, Xu Youjun raised his wine glass at Duan Shaojun and touched it. "Yes, yes, what you said is good, if you startle the grass and the snake, and let go of the big fish, it is not beautiful, then what are you going to do, brother Xian?"
