"Dongxin City's main book of finance and taxation, diligent government and love the people, financial management, now the king of the East will be rewarded, and the Dongxin Caibo will be awarded! For the second count! ”

The orders of the knights were brewing in the Eastern Palace, and they were quickly transmitted to the thirty-six cities of the Eastern Fiefdom.

This time, it was not a decree at the level of the people, but directly at the level of officials.

It is the first time that such a large area has been knighted. The movement caused is also extremely huge.

Dongxin City, Taiwei Mansion.

Captain Pang sat on the main seat of the main hall, with a group of officials and staff in front of him.

"Conspiracy, Captain, there must be a conspiracy in this!" One of the staff members said with an ugly face.

"This Wang Xiong is really unpredictable!" Another official said.

"Yes, I originally thought that Wang Xiong had tens of millions of spirit stones and would quietly send people to buy our people, but Wang Xiong didn't do this, he only appeased the officials and soldiers of the Eastern Palace, and he didn't say anything to the people on our side. I thought he was like this, but now he's starting to enter the knighthood on a large scale? Another official said.

"Who have been knighted?" Captain Pang said with a solemn face.

"The officials of the royal faction have entered the knighthood, and the important officials on our side have also entered the knighthood!" The official said with an ugly face.

"The king of the East has the right to reward the title of fief, he is using his rights openly, enter the knighthood? What the hell is he going to do? Captain Pang's eyes narrowed.

"Wang Xiong doesn't even give his own people a knighthood, but now, even our people are also knighted? Xia Guan can't guess it! The staff on the side said worriedly.

"No matter what the reason, this Wang Xiong, definitely not well-intentioned, Tai Lieutenant, you must guard against him, after he comes back, he must be fighting against us, the first thing when he comes back, is to be tax-free for a year, we have suffered heavy losses, although Tai Lieutenant's method has also made Wang Xiong suffer heavy losses, but, in the first round, we did not have the upper hand after all, and the lower officials have a feeling, this is Wang Xiong's second time to show his knife, we must be careful!" The official worried.

Captain Pang nodded cautiously.

"Taiwei, Wang Xiong is knighted, in fact, there is also our share, presumably Wang Xiong also knows our people well, now, the title reward is here, do we accept it or not?" An official looked at Captain Pang with a complicated expression.

"Yes, the lower official also received a gift, do you want to accept it?" The other official said with a complicated expression.

All the officials looked at Captain Pang.

Captain Pang looked at the subordinates in front of him with a solemn face: "Do you want to take it?" ”

"Huh?" The officials looked at Captain Pang in surprise.

"The captain said to take it, and the next official will take it! If the lieutenant says that he will not accept it, the subordinate will definitely not accept it! ”

"Wang Xiong's knighthood is equivalent in the Great Qin People's Kingdom, to be honest, the lower officials are moved, but the lower officials know their own position, and everything is up to the decision of the Tai Lieutenant!"

"The lower officials can not take it, but, but many of our people in the city have taken it! Their eyes are too shallow. I thought it was cheap to pick it up for nothing. The title of Oriental fief is equivalent to the title of Great Qin, the title not only represents Yulu, but also a status, and it is also a condition for tax reduction and additional benefits for many families! ”

All the officials looked at Captain Pang, and everyone asked Captain Pang to decide, but some of them obviously wanted to be knighted.

Pang Taiwei's face was ugly for a while, Pang Taiwei was worried that Wang Xiong would buy his subordinates, so he kept under surveillance, but Pang Taiwei didn't expect Wang Xiong to actually buy in a grand manner, just buy in a bright and bright way, without spending a penny, just conferring knighthood, which made his group of subordinates moved.

Knighthood, this is something that Wang Xiong can do. Because he is the lord of the Eastern fiefdom, his name is right.

But Pang Taiwei himself can't, if Pang Taiwei wants to confer knighthood on his subordinates, he must submit an application to the court, which will be reviewed by the imperial historian, determined by the prime minister of Daqin, and then canonized by the emperor.

This is something that Captain Pang can't do.

"Captain! Wang Xiong's bribery this time can't be stopped! A staff member on the side smiled bitterly.

"Huh?" Captain Pang looked at the staff.

"Wang Xiong is obviously sowing discord, the lord is not lightly awarded, everyone knows that this opportunity is rare, here you adults can endure it, but can the officials below endure it? Captain, you prevent them from entering the knighthood, although they won't say anything in their mouths, but what about their hearts? This gap has arisen, Wang Xiong is sowing discord! ”

"Yes, not only that, but some officials have already been sealed, and the Taiwei has only now said that it is not allowed, have they withdrawn their titles? That is even more enmity with Taiwei, and some people may even throw themselves into the Dongfang Mansion because of this! ”

The words of the two staff members made Captain Pang's face change wildly.

The faces of the officials also changed. They all nodded: "This Wang Xiong, his intentions are sinister!" ”

"Rather than this, why don't everyone accept this knighthood, isn't your Wang Xiong a reward? We're going to do it. However, if we don't do anything, we don't find fault with Wang Xiong, can he Wang Xiong still refer to the deer as a horse, and dare to continue to mess around? One of the staff members laughed.

"Eat dry and wipe clean, don't admit it?" Captain Pang said with a strange expression.

"yes, so what? If you want him Wang Xiong to steal chickens, it will not be a loss of rice! Lost the lady and broke the soldiers! Another staff member laughed.

Captain Pang's eyes gradually lit up, and he finally nodded.

Captain Pang nodded, and the officials in front of him also showed joy.

Title? Who doesn't want it! This is not only a knighthood yourself, but also a legacy to future generations.

After all, there are so many people under Captain Pang, when will it be his turn, it is not that Captain Pang is unwilling, but that he wants to get the title of Daqin, and there are too many procedures. It may not be audited. But now, who doesn't want to pick up cheap?

As soon as Captain Pang gave an order, all the officials of Captain Pang's faction were overjoyed, and they all went to receive Wang Xiong's gift.

-------------

Oriental Palace.

A group of officials looked at Wang Xiong anxiously.

Wang Xiong was still drinking tea and listening to the reports from his subordinates. One by one, the news came out. The officials were restless, but Wang Xiong himself was at ease.

Looking at these anxious officials, Wang Xiong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Talent? These officials are more than successful, but after all, the development is not enough! His own strategy is not too complicated, and he hasn't seen it yet.

"Lord Wang, Captain Pang's subordinates have all received your gifts!" Wang Tiance said worriedly.

"Yes, Lord Wang, look at their appearance, this is only eating meat, not doing things, and I don't have any thoughts of gratitude to the prince!" Another official worried.

"Captain Pang will do everything he can and take away all our gifts, Lord Wang, this second step, you will enter the lord and increase the official, but you ......!" Wang Tiance said with some worry.

"Heh, what are you worried about, this is just the beginning!" Wang Xiong said lightly.

"But ......!" Wang Tiance was worried.

"This is just a knight, and I haven't been added to the official yet!" Wang Xiong said with a smile.

"Official?" Everyone was slightly stunned.

"To whom?" Wang Tiance was puzzled.

"Naturally, it's an official from Captain Pang's side! You still don't understand? Wang Xiong frowned slightly.

"Official? Officials? Wang Tiance frowned and pondered for a while, and suddenly, his face changed.

"Lord Wang, ...... are you?" Wang Tiance was pleasantly surprised.

"Plus official! Under Captain Pang, many small officials, who are unknown, have made a lot of achievements, and it is time to be promoted, and some officials who do not do things, occupy high positions, and have a vegetarian meal in the corpse position, it is time to change positions and sympathize with the people's feelings! Wang Xiong said with a smile.

"I understand, the prince's previous entry into the lord was not at all to provoke the officials of Taiwei Pang's faction, but just dug a hole for them, and they all jumped into it stupidly!" Wang Tiance was suddenly overjoyed.

"What do you mean, Tiancehou?" Some people looked at Wang Tiance in confusion.

"The prince is transferring the officials who arranged for Captain Pang, and he is controlling their fate, don't you see it?" Wang Tiance said with a smile.

"Huh?" The officials suddenly came to their senses.

When everyone was still thinking about how to coerce and lure the officials of Taiwei Pang's faction, the prince's hand had already stretched out.

Last time, the prince gave you a knighthood, and you accepted it! Now, the prince has given you an increase or a demote, will you accept it? If there are officials going up, naturally there will be officials coming down.

The previous good order, you have honored! Do you respect the evil order now?

No, then why do you want to honor the knighthood? Oh, the good is taken, the bad is not?

It doesn't matter, those who are demoted can rely on their positions, but what about those who are promoted?

The person who was promoted has just received a knighthood. Now, they can be further promoted, are they willing to give up? If you want to give up, you don't even want the title.

Is it stupid? Is there such a person?

I'll give you a knight, I want it. Now, to give you a promotion, not only do you not want it, but you also want to resign from the title?

Joke! You think everyone is a diehard Captain Pang.

Because Captain Pang can bring benefits to himself, we will follow you. Now, I have been promoted to the rank and knight, and you let me resign? So what am I doing with you?

"Lord Wang, this trick is high, the knighthood has been accepted, the official is increased and demoted, there must be some people who are willing, and some people who are unwilling, at this time, they will have internal contradictions!" An official said excitedly.

"Yes, Captain Pang is going crazy this time, hahaha, his subordinates are fighting!"

"Hahaha, Lord Wang, our people don't interfere at all, you can watch them eat dogs!"

"Lord Wang, the minister guesses that as soon as this additional official comes out, within a few days, some people from Pang Taiwei's faction will defect, and they will even come to us to surrender!"

"The prince is wise!"

"The prince is wise!"

…………………………

The officials immediately bowed down excitedly.

The upright conspiracy is so incomprehensible that Captain Pang has no way to make a move. As soon as the prince becomes a lord and an official, he can make the mountain of Pang Taiwei's faction collapse.

There is no need to guess, there is no need to look, the officials have already foreseen the future.

This second step of the prince is to enter the knighthood and increase the official. It's even more ruthless than the previous year of tax exemption. A political storm in the eastern fiefdoms is coming.
