"Your Majesty, the specific reason is not mentioned in the urgent report. It is just that the rioters broke into the county magistrate's office at night and beat Liu Yongde to death on the bed. The rioters were also killed by the guards who rushed over later." The chief assistant Ye Xianggao said.

"Do you really treat me as a fool? The rioters broke into the county magistrate's office at night and beat the sleeping county magistrate to death. The rioters were also killed by the subsequent guards. Is it even more ridiculous?"

Emperor Tianqi said angrily that the northwest of the empire has been a scar in the heart of Emperor Tianqi over the years. For the past ten years, the court has been sending officials to the northwest, and they all died of undestined death. What does this mean? Emperor Tianqi knows it.

However, the Qin Empire was very unstable. In the south, Japanese pirates continued to harass the border, and the Mu family in the west controlled them and stubbornly disobeyed the court. In the north, the Huns were eyeing each other, and the rioters continued to rebel. In the northwest, the Huns continued to enter and plunder, causing the northwest region to become a chaotic area. Local governments acted independently, and the imperial court's instructions could not enter the northwest region.

Even officials appointed by the court died in a bad way when they arrived in the northwest, so the court could not appoint officials in the northwest.

Of course, there is still a place in the northwest controlled by the imperial court, that is Tokugawa County. It can also be said that Liu Yongde, the governor of Tokugawa County, still listened to the imperial court. However, the last northwest official who listened to the imperial court has died in a bad life, which makes Emperor Tianqi very angry.

"Your Majesty, it is not the time to pursue Liu Yongde, the governor of Tokugawa County. We must send people to the northwest to take over the position of Tokugawa County as soon as possible. It's too late, the old minister is afraid that the situation will change." Ye Xianggao said.

"Ye Ge is right. Who is willing to share the burden with me and become the governor of Tokugawa County?"

Emperor Aoki asked, Emperor Aoki also knew the importance of Tokugawa County to the court. You must know that in the northwest, the only one under the control of the court is Tokugawa County. Once this Tokugawa County is lost, the empire will really lose control over the northwest.

You should know that the county magistrates of the other twelve counties in the northwest are not good things. They have ignored the imperial orders over the years, and they have competed for each other's territory in the northwest, and they all want to be the king of the northwest. If the county magistrate of Tokugawa County is too long, Tokugawa County will be very dangerous. Maybe it will be either annexed by the Huns or divided by these local ruthless ministers.

But Emperor Tianqi asked, but no one in the hall answered that the officials who could go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony were not fools. Everyone knows what the northwest is. Whoever goes to die, who wants to go even if he knows death. Those who are not afraid of death have basically gone to the northwest and have already met the King of Hell. Who dares to go now?

Anyway, no one answered, no one wanted to go.

"You guys~~"

Emperor Tianqi pointed at His Highness’ ministers angrily and said angrily: “What’s the use of raising you people? When it comes to the critical moment, I’ll be timid. I’m so angry.”

"Your Majesty, you can take care of yourself and not get angry." Wei Zhongxian said quickly.

"Wei Baner, who do you think should be chosen to be the governor of Tokugawa County in the northwest?"

Emperor Tianqi looked at Wei Zhongxian and asked, now Emperor Tianqi does not expect this greedy and fearful official to take the initiative to stand up and become the governor of Tokugawa County in the northwest, and is ready to call him directly.

"This..." Wei Zhongxian didn't think of who to designate.

"Emperor, I recommend one person to be the governor of Tokugawa County. All over the court, only this person is talented and capable of becoming the governor of Tokugawa County."

Liang Tianqi, the chief minister of Dali Temple, hurriedly stood up and said, "We cannot let Wei Zhongxian recommend him, otherwise the unlucky one must be from his own faction."

"Oh, Aiqing Liang, do you have a suitable candidate to recommend?" Emperor Tianqi asked happily.

"Yes, the person recommended by the emperor, the gentle minister can definitely be competent for the position of Tokugawa County County Magistrate. Whether it is in terms of grade or talent, this person can be the position of Tokugawa County Magistrate." Liang Tianqi said.

"Liang Aiqing, who are you recommending?" Emperor Tianqi asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, the person I recommend is Master Qin Muqin, Shaoqing of Dali Temple." Liang Tianqi said.

"What?"

Wei Zhongxian was stunned. The Donglin Party member was really cruel. He wanted to send the talented people he had finally recruited to death.

But before Wei Zhongxian could speak.

"Your Majesty, I also think that Qin Mu, the young minister of Dali Temple, is most suitable to be the governor of Tokugawa County. In the northwest, only talented people like Qin Mu can manage Tokugawa County well." The Minister of Personnel said, "Starting the Minister of Personnel.

"I also think that the young minister of Dali Temple, Qin Mu, is suitable to be the governor of Tokugawa County." The left censor Gao Panlong said out of the line.

"The old minister also thinks that Qin Mu is very suitable for the governor of Tokugawa County." The second assistant Nalan Mingzhu said out of the list.

"The old minister also praised Qin Mu as the governor of Tokugawa County." said the chief assistant Ye Xianggao.

"I'm going to discuss it." Grand Secretary Liu Yiying said out of the list.

"I have also discussed it." Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of Personnel, came out and said.

...

In a blink of an eye, dozens of ministers from the Donglin Party came out and said that they all recommended Qin Mu to serve as the governor of Tokugawa County.

"I also think that the Shaoqing of Dali Temple is suitable for this position of Tokugawa County." Ministers from other factions said.

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

Soon, all the ministers of the court, except for the eunuch party, almost all agreed that Qin Mu would take the post of the governor of Tokugawa County. At the Qin Empire, there was almost no such thing as the ministers who highly agreed to elect a person as a fourth-rank chief official at the Qin Empire.

In fact, everyone's ideas are the same. If Qin Mu is not recommended to be the governor of Tokugawa County, he may be named by the emperor as the governor of Tokugawa County. This is a deadly position and no one wants to go. If a fellow Taoist dies, I will let others die if I die.

"Since everyone recommends that the young minister of Dali Temple, Qin Mu, become the governor of Tokugawa County, that's him."

Emperor Tianqi thought about it and said. Now Emperor Tianqi has no choice but to catch anyone, and he will blame himself for being unlucky. Anyway, someone must go to the northwest to be the governor of Tokugawa County for the court.

"Emperor..." Wei Zhongxian said to Emperor Tianqi.

"Wei Baner, why do you have any objections?" Emperor Tianqi looked at Wei Zhongxian with some displeasure and asked.

"Emperor, I have no objection to the emperor's decision. I am just worried about the situation in the northwest. The county magistrate of Tokugawa County was beaten to death in the county magistrate's office. It can be seen that this situation is already very serious, and Qin Mu may not be able to reverse the situation even if he goes." Wei Zhongxian said cautiously.

"What Eunuch Wei said makes sense. Emperor, we can authorize Qin Mu and Qin to take over the greatest power of the Tokugawa County Army Political and Legal Department. He can appoint the appointment and removal of Tokugawa County Army and local officials, and also have the right to recruit soldiers according to the situation." Li Jin, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, proposed.

"Is this right too great?"

Zheng Sanjun, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, asked with some concern, "You must know that local officials in the empire do not have the right to appoint and remove officials, especially the right to appoint and remove military officials. The Qin Empire has a very strict conscription system, and local officials do not have this right."

This is that the power of preventing local officials is too great, which poses danger to the empire's centralization system. Therefore, the central government of the Qin Empire will not delegate such rights to local officials at will.

"Mr. Zheng, you know the situation in the northwest. If you don't have these powers, who would dare to go? Maybe you will be beaten to death by the rioters who broke into the mansion and were beaten to death."

Li Jin, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, said that it was not that Li Jin was inclined to eunuchs, but this was the main fact. Who would have wanted to go without these? If you go, you would die.

At this point, Li Jin saw a lot. Li Jin knew that if Qin Mu died of a bad life as soon as he arrived in the northwest, the court would still send people out of the northwest. At that time, it might be his turn. The king asked his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die, so Li Jin thought Qin Mu could live in the northwest for a longer time.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Li said makes sense. If you want to reverse the situation in the northwest, you must give the corresponding power."

Wei Zhongxian said that Wei Zhongxian knew that he could not change the emperor's decision, so he had to fight for more power for Qin Mu, especially military power. In the turbulent place in the northwest, only if he had soldiers in his hands could he live for a long time.

"That's it, Qin Mu was appointed as the governor of Tokugawa County in the northwest, who was fully responsible for the military and political affairs of Tokugawa County. He had the appointment and removal of military and political officials below the fourth rank of Tokugawa County, and he could recruit 10,000 troops on his own."

After thinking about it, Emperor Tianqi said that as the emperor of the Qin Empire, Zhao Youxiao knew the situation in the northwest very well. Over the years, officials sent to the northwest all died in a bad way. This must be related to the troops in the northwest. In addition to asking for support from the court, these northwest troops were all lip service. Zhao Youxiao would not believe in these northwest troops now. If the court had not been able to withdraw troops to lead the northwest, Zhao Youxiao would have wished to disband the northwest army immediately.

"The wise man." Wei Zhongxian shouted immediately.

"The Lord is wise!"

A large group of ministers below immediately shouted, "It's not to cater to the emperor, but the main thing is that you don't have to go to the northwest by yourself this time. Everyone wants others to go there. What are military power, official appointment and removal power, and whether you can save your life in the northwest? In short, it's a life without death, and no one envies Qin Mu.

Of course, there were also several old ministers frowned, thinking that giving Qin Mu too much power, and if they were not done properly, they would become a disaster that would be a big deal.

But at this time, they didn't come out to say anything? After all, in the current situation in Northwest, no matter how much power is given, it is the same whether they can live to Tokugawa County.

"Wei Ban'er, you go to Xuan Qinmu to Yangxin Palace to see me later." Emperor Tianqi said to Wei Zhongxian.

"Yes." Wei Zhongxian responded.
