Creation Color Master

In the Battle of Saiyanba, Yelu Xiong was ultimately defeated.

Covered in blood and looking weak, Yelu Xiong stood in a sea of ​​blood and corpses, his eyes filled with desolation and emptiness.

Lin Mingwei looked at Yelu Xiong, who looked much older, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the end, he did not kill him and walked away.

Yelu Xiong's eyes became more and more empty at this time. He slowly knelt on the ground, covering his face with his hands and crying bitterly.

Then he opened his arms, looked at the sky with red eyes and said: "Oh, God, is this snowstorm really coming to help Xia Yang? Is there really a Taoist master in Xia Yang who can change the celestial phenomena?"

Then he casually picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground, slowly stood up and said, "I, Yelu Xiong, as the commander of an army, failed to complete the task of seizing grain given by the emperor. I am ashamed of the king and the people. The soldiers in the army died because of me. How can I face the emperor and my fellow countrymen?"

"what"

In the end, Yelu Xiong could only let out an unwilling roar.

Then he slowly turned around and bowed again and again towards the direction of Qianyan Pass, towards the direction of the emperor, and towards the direction of his hometown.

"bass"

The sharp sword cut his neck, and General Yelu, who had fought for the ancient barbarians all his life, died.

Even after drawing his sword and committing suicide, Yelu Xiong's fallen body was still in a kneeling position, with his head still bowing in the direction of the imperial palace.

Lin Mingwei stopped halfway through the journey as if he had sensed something and looked in the direction of Saiyanba. He had already guessed the ending on the way.

Lin Mingwei stood in the air for a long time. He still respected an opponent like Yelu Xiong.

Inside the Taiji Hall in the imperial capital, the atmosphere in the court was particularly solemn, and all the officials were silent.

"Tell me, don't you usually impeach others? Why didn't you say anything today? Or is it that you are only good at talking?"

Tang Tiansheng had a gloomy face and reprimanded all the civil and military officials in the court.

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials bent their bodies and lowered their heads again and again.

"News just came from Haozhou that Liufeng County Governor Sun Anzheng wrote a letter to impeach his superior, Haozhou Governor Zhou Wenlong. This kind of thing is not common. Everyone, please take a look at the evidence listed here."

"Under his governance, the morals of officials in Haozhou have deteriorated, corruption and hedonism have flourished, and he even turned a blind eye to the ancient barbarians attacking Hanyang Pass. If this continues, will Haozhou be handed over to the enemy?"

After saying that, he threw the memorial in his hand to the ground.

Everyone didn't know what to do for a moment. At this time, Prime Minister Wei Yu slowly stood up, leaning on his cane and said, "Your Majesty, this is wrong. The report only mentioned the disadvantages, but Zhou Wenlong's merits in governing Haozhou, a place with a special geographical environment, sparse population, backwardness and poverty, cannot be erased. Please think twice."

At this moment, all the officials seemed to see the light at the end of the tunnel, and they all echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice."

Tang Tiansheng's pair of meaningful eyes swept across the officials kneeling on the ground, and finally stopped at the eldest prince Tang Chengqian, and slowly said: "Qian'er, what do you think I should do?"

Tang Chengqian stood up respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I think what the Prime Minister said is not without reason. However, although Zhou Wenlong has made contributions to the country, his policies in governing Haozhou also have drawbacks, which have led to a mixture of officials of all ranks in Haozhou, and some officials who lack the knowledge of being an official are mixed in. I think the Ministry of Personnel should strengthen the rectification and thoroughly investigate the officials of Haozhou, so that the capable ones will be promoted and the weak ones will be demoted."

Tang Tiansheng just nodded in response to Tang Chengqian's words.

Then he continued, "Okay, then I ask you, who do you think is suitable to supervise the officials of Haozhou?"

After Tang Chengqian pondered for a while, he said softly: "Your Majesty, I can recommend someone. This person was also born in Haozhou. He is very familiar with the situation in Haozhou. Moreover, this person is in charge of the secret guards and has made many outstanding achievements. It would be most appropriate for him to supervise the officials of Haozhou?"

A gleam of light flashed in Tang Tiansheng's eyes, as if he had already figured out who the person Tang Chengqian was talking about was.

But Tang Tiansheng still pretended not to know and asked, "Oh, who is this person?"

Tang Chengqian said seriously: "This person is Chu Mo."

As Tang Chengqian finished his words, Tang Chengze and others behind him secretly thought that something was wrong. No one expected that Tang Chengqian was still thinking about winning over Chu Mo at this time.

Tang Chengqian laughed secretly in his heart. He had won credit for Chu Mo this time. In the eyes of officials who didn't know the truth, Chu Mo had already stepped into the same boat with him, and Chu Mo owed him a favor.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Tang Tiansheng could naturally see through Tang Chengqian’s thoughts, but since it was beneficial to Chu Mo, why not just go with the flow.

So he began to draft an edict and said, "Come here, pass on my order. Chu Mo, as the Shadow Guard Supervisor, has the power to supervise all officials in a state. Now that corruption and enjoyment are on the rise in Haozhou, I order him to investigate this matter. At the same time, in order to completely suppress this matter, I promote Chu Mo to the position of Dark Guard Commander, with full authority to command all Dark Guards in Haozhou, and give him the power to appoint Dark Guards in the entire Haozhou. Finally, I hope he will give me a satisfactory answer."

Tang Tiansheng completed the task in one go, without giving the civil and military officials any right to interrupt.

At this time, Prime Minister Wei Yu stepped forward again and said, "Your Majesty, Chu Mo is still young and his mind is not stable. If you are in a high position, I am afraid you will be lost in power and Xiayang will lose a talent."

Tang Tiansheng looked at the prime minister who was singing a different tune from him, and said slowly: "Lord Wei, how do you know that Chu Mo will lose himself in power? Why are you so sure? Just because of your unfounded speculation, will you not let me promote young talents?"

Wei Yu was immediately terrified and said, "Your Majesty, this is not what I meant. I just can't bear to waste such a good seedling. I hope Your Majesty will understand."

Tang Tiansheng said with a hint of chill in his tone: "Lord Wei, you should know that when I select talents, I only focus on talent and moral character. This has nothing to do with age and experience. Don't say these unfair words again."

Wei Yu kowtowed tremblingly and said: "I obey your command."

Tang Tiansheng once again glanced at the civil and military officials, with a hint of warning in his eyes, and finally said: "Pass on my decree. I now appoint Chen Gong as the governor of Haozhou and Zhou Wenlong as the Sima of Haozhou to assist Chen Gong in handling the affairs of Haozhou."

The entire hall fell silent after Tang Tiansheng finished speaking.

Tang Tiansheng knew that these people could not bear to see Chen Gong receiving favors, could not bear to see a commoner being often mentioned by the emperor; they could not bear to see that other people's lifelong hard work was easily obtained by Chen Gong.

But Tang Tiansheng was sure that Chen Gong would give him a surprise, and he believed in this talented person who was blessed by the God of Literature.

At the same time, Tang Tiansheng looked down and asked, "Where is the Minister of Revenue?"

A middle-aged official, about fifty years old, stood out from among the officials. He had a kind face and said very respectfully, "Your Majesty, I, Zhang Fuan, pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be well and healthy."

As for the Minister of Revenue, it can be seen from Tang Tiansheng's gradually relaxed expression that he has great trust in this person.

"Now that Haozhou has experienced heavy snow, many people have no place to live and no food to eat, and have become refugees. I need you to prepare 500,000 taels of gold, 1 million dan of food and some supplies a day to help Haozhou. Is it possible?"

Zhang Fuan was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and money and grain, so he naturally knew the situation in Haozhou. The things the emperor obtained were not enough to support the entire Haozhou's consumption. It seemed that the emperor also wanted to test the new governor of Haozhou.
