"How long will Your Majesty let Prince An stay in Dajue Temple?" Tan Zong thought that Emperor Qingping's move was the best way to resolve the dispute between the prince and Prince An, so he asked.

"One year." Emperor Qingping smiled slightly when he heard this and said calmly.

"One year?" Tan Zong couldn't help but be quite surprised, "Your Majesty, is it too long?"

Dajue Temple is located in Mount Wutai in Shanxi, thousands of miles away from the capital. It tastes absolutely unpleasant when you eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name for one year.

"The fourth brother has lived a comfortable life since he was a child and did not withstand any setbacks. How can he fight against his opponents in the future?" Emperor Qingping stood up, pulled out a book from the bookshelf beside him, turned his head and said to Tan Zong, "I think this book is good. Before the fourth brother left Beijing, you should bring it to him, just say that I asked him to read it. I hope he can read the things in the book thoroughly in one year."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely send this book to you." Tan Zong hurriedly walked over and took it to see it. It was a book called "The Strategies of the Three Kingdoms" and said to Emperor Qingping in a deep voice.

Next, Tan Zong reported to Emperor Qingping one by one about Suzhou and Yangzhou. Hearing Emperor Qingping nodded constantly and expressed his approval for his actions.

"Your Majesty, the Zhao family in Hedong Town, Kunshan County, Suzhou and the Xu family in Hexi Town made great contributions to the extermination of Japanese bandits, killing and injuring many tribe members." Speaking of the fierce battle with the Japanese in Kunshan County, Tan Zong couldn't help but ask for credit for the Zhao family and Xu family.

The heavy reward of the Xu family and the Zhao family is not only a commendation of what the two families have done, but also a win over the gentry and wealthy families in various places, and inspiring them to serve the court.

"Zhao Yan of the Zhao family and Xu Zong of the Xu family serve the country, and I am very pleased." Emperor Qingping knew what Tan Zong meant, nodded after hearing this, pondered for a moment, and said, "I decided to grant two people a seventh-rank official position to serve in Suzhou Prefecture."

There are two ways to enter the officialdom in Dashun. One is the imperial examination, which is the most common, and the other is the gift of the official family. Only a very small number of people who have made great contributions can have this honor.

"Your Majesty's grace is so great that the Zhao family and the Xu family will definitely devote themselves to the court and die!" After hearing this, Tan Zong stood up and bowed to Emperor Qingping, and said in a deep voice. In this case, the Xu family and the Zhao family will become two nails in Emperor Qingping's hand, firmly nailed to Suzhou Prefecture.

"I feel ready to give the Xu family and Zhao family a plaque." Emperor Qingping waved his hand, signaled Tan Zong to sit down, and said with a smile, "What do you think of the 'Loyalty and Righteousness'?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Tan Zong said loudly when he heard this. Emperor Qingping's move was not only a compliment to the Zhao family and the Xu family, but also a faint meaning of resolving the grievances between the two families.

Obviously, Emperor Qingping could only give out a plaque. Whether this plaque was hung in the Zhao family or the Xu family, the only feasible way was to jointly build a ancestral hall and enshrine the spirit plaques of those who died in battle with the Japanese bandits in the mourning hall, and this plaque was hung on the mourning hall.

Even if the Xu family and the Zhao family have great grudges, they will disappear under the mighty emperor's grace of Emperor Qingping. Even though they still have grudges in their hearts at the beginning, when the two families have common interests, those grudges will gradually disappear over time.

After dealing with the affairs of the Zhao family and Xu family in Kunshan County, the next step was Zhongyitang. As for whether Zhongyitang's attack on the government office that night was intentional rebellion or a confusing act, it was all in the thought of Emperor Qingping.

"Your Majesty, the matter of Zhongyitang has a great impact in Yangzhou. Everyone in Zhongyitang Gang was in panic. If the four surviving incense masters of Zhongyitang tried their best to maintain it, the transportation of canals in Jiangnan and Central and Southern regions might have been seriously affected." Tan Zong looked at Emperor Qingping with a serious expression and said in a deep voice, "Before I left Yangzhou, Sun Wanghai, the leader of the Caogang, had found Weichen, and hoped that Weichen could mediate from it. Weichen boldly asked him for the positions of the four surviving incense masters of Zhongyitang. When His Majesty returned to the capital, Sun Wanghai's boss in the capital agreed to Weichen's request and asked Weichen to meet and discuss cooperation."

Before Emperor Ping of Qing was asked for his own opinions, Tan Zong could not express any view on the Zhongyitang incident. He could only truthfully report the current situation to him. Everything must be decided by Emperor Ping of Qing, otherwise he would be suspected of being superior, which is a taboo for officials.

"Zhongyi Hall is just a chess piece, like a chicken rib, it's tasteless to eat, it's a pity to throw it away." Emperor Qingping frowned slightly and looked at Tan Zong, "What do you think of this matter?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that although the crimes committed by Zhongyitang are unredeemable, the feelings are understandable." Tan Zong said calmly when he heard this, "Just as Your Majesty said, Zhongyitang is now just a useless person and is in a storm. If Your Majesty can give mercy outside the law, I believe that it will not only make the grain transportation worry-free from now on, but also make those in the capital who are trying to fish in troubled waters retreat."

"Gratefulness beyond the law!" Emperor Qingping's face showed a look of praise when he heard this. Now the court shouted at Zhongyitang and shouted to kill him. All the officials hated Zhongyitang's rebellious behavior and wanted to put it to death and quickly. It was rare that Tan Zong could see so long.

"I will leave the matter with the Cao Gang to handle it. I will send someone to help." After pondering for a while, Emperor Qingping said to Tan Zong with a smile.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to live up to your entrustedness." Tan Zong bowed to Emperor Qingping and answered solemnly.

"I have read your last memorial. The grain transportation is related to my Dashun country's vein, so I cannot be careless." Emperor Qingping remembered something and looked at Tan Zong. "I have decided to strengthen the power of the grain transportation department and set up the position of Jiangnan grain transportation envoy, the fifth rank, and the commander of Jiangnan grain transportation. Who do you think can bear this great task?"

The incident of Japanese bandits made Emperor Ping of Qing pay unprecedented attention to the transportation of the grain. The transportation of the grain is not only the lifeblood of Dashun, but also involves the security of the country, especially the canal, which is crucial to the safety of the capital. He had to prepare for the rain and make plans early to prevent accidents.

After the establishment of the Jiangnan Grain Transportation Envoy, he would take charge of Jiangnan Grain Transportation Power, with a high position and a high position and a vital importance. Although there were many officials in the court, few people could relieve Emperor Qingping. Those who he felt relieved were each held important positions and could not move easily. Therefore, he consulted Tan Zong's opinions. Tan Zong had been in the inn for so long, so he should have gained something.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the former governor of Changsha Prefecture You Hongsheng can take on this position." Tan Zong knew in his heart that Emperor Qingping would never ask him this question for no reason, so he answered calmly.

"You Hongsheng!" Emperor Ping of Qing could not help but say to himself. He was very unfamiliar with this name. There were thousands of officials above the fifth rank of Dashun. How could he remember a sixth rank who became a candidate four years ago?

"You Hongsheng is a disciple of Zhao Yongen, the former Minister of Personnel." After hearing this, Tan Zong quickly introduced You Hongsheng's resume to Emperor Ping of Qing, including how he was appreciated by Zhao Yongen and how he offended the local tyrants of Changsha Prefecture.

"Although I lack qualifications, it's not a big deal." Emperor Ping of Qing nodded slightly. It turned out to be Zhao Yongen's person. After pondering for a while, he said to Tan Zong, "You ask You Hongsheng to go to the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow."

Tan Zong nodded when he heard this. It seemed that You Hongsheng would be in a bad mood. The official asked him to go to the Ministry of Personnel, which clearly wanted to upgrade his official position so that he could successfully take over the position of Jiangnan Cao Transportation Envoy in the future.

"Your Majesty, You Hongsheng looked for Weichen yesterday. He said that the drought in Huguang area is severe, but the Ministry of Revenue has not allocated disaster relief supplies. Weichen should not interfere with the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, but Huguang area is one of my Dashun's granaries. If there is any loss, it will surely affect the whole country." Speaking of You Hongsheng, Tan Zong couldn't help but think of something and said seriously to Emperor Qingping.

"These officials of the Ministry of Revenue know that they are fighting openly and secretly for small profits, and they don't know how to share my worries at all." Emperor Qingping reached out and rubbed his forehead. He knew very well about the flies in the various departments' yamen, knowing that they must have delayed the disaster relief work in order to compete for the benefits.

"I will order the Ministry of Revenue to handle this matter tomorrow." Tan Zong's concern is not without reason. If the victims in Huguang cause trouble due to famine, it will definitely affect the food price across the country. If the famine continues until next year, it will be a big plan for Dashun. This matter cannot be delayed anymore. Emperor Qingping then put down his hand, looked up at Tan Zong, and said in a deep voice.

In the subsequent conversation, what surprised Emperor Qingping the most was Bi Xiju, who wanted to join the government to take revenge on Bi Shijie's forces. He finally agreed to Bi Xiju's request and asked Tan Zong to make arrangements.

"Princess Zhaoning has been in good health these days, so I have time to see her in the palace." When Tan Zong left the study room, more than two hours had passed. He had just walked to the door and had not had time to reach out to pull the door. Emperor Qingping suddenly thought of something and said calmly.

"I remember it." Tan Zong was slightly stunned when he heard this, and was quite surprised by it. He bowed to Emperor Qingping, then opened the door and walked out.

"It's a talent, if you have some craftsmanship, you can become a great person." Looking at Tan Zong's back as he left, a smile appeared on the corner of Emperor Qingping's mouth. He was very satisfied with what Tan Zong did in Yangzhou and Suzhou.

At this time, the capital city had a curfew, and Andeshan, who was guarding outside the gate, asked the guards of the inner guard to send Tan Zong back to the inn.

"Mr.!" After returning to the inn, Tan Zong had just entered the yard and Su Jin, who was waiting in the hall, quickly came out, followed by Qiao Yu. The two of them had been waiting here since Tan Zong entered the palace.

"My husband, your clothes?" After seeing Tan Zong's costumes, Su Jin's face showed a look of surprise.

"It's hard to describe it." Tan Zong laughed a few times and walked towards the hall.

Su Jin and Qiao Yu looked at each other and knew that Tan Zong had a difficult time hiding, so they walked into the hall with him, letting all the maids in the hall retreat, and closed the door. Only then did Tan Zong feel depressed about what happened to the Imperial Garden tonight.

"My husband, have you pushed Princess Zhaoning into the lake?" After learning about the incident, Su Jin was extremely shocked and looked at Tan Zong in disbelief. This was a serious crime of beheading.

"Fortunately, Princess Zhaoning did not pursue the matter, otherwise my husband would not be able to come back." Tan Zong picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, laughing bitterly at Su Jin, looking a little scared.

"Honey grandpa has seen Princess Zhaoning before?" Su Jin looked at Tan Zong in confusion. She didn't understand why Zhao Yuzhao and others wanted to set up a plan to plot against Tan Zong?

"I have never met you." Tan Zong shook his head. In fact, he wanted to know more than Su Jin now. What exactly caused Zhao Yuzhao to push him to scare him? Is it just because of a simple prank?

Su Jin originally wanted to ask Tan Zong what happened after he carried Zhao Yuzhao to Kunning Palace, but the moment she spoke, she suddenly realized something, and a look of astonishment flashed across her eyes: Kunning Palace, Tan Zong actually hugged the dignified Princess Zhaoning and swayed across the city from the Imperial Garden to the Queen's bedroom. The taste here was self-evident.

"Jin'er, don't worry about her husband, she's fine." Tan Zong will come to the court to report to Emperor Qingping tomorrow about Yangzhou and Suzhou. He stood up and stretched lazily, comforting Su Jin with a smile:

Since the official kept him in Shangshu for so long and handed over the aftermath of Yangzhou and Suzhou to himself, he obviously did not pursue his disrespect for Zhao Yuzhao.

"My husband, please rest early." Su Jin stood up with a smile when she heard this, and prepared to serve Tan Zong to wash up and wear clothes. A hint of gloom and loss were hidden in her smile.
