Zheng Xuan asked anxiously: "What's going on? Come quickly?"

An official who claimed to be Gongcao bowed in a panic and said, "National Prime Minister, Mr. Kang Cheng, the day before yesterday, King Beihai and the Grand Tutor were drinking and having fun in the palace. Shortly after the banquet, they suddenly died suddenly in the middle of the night. After the Grand Tutor's thorough investigation yesterday, he found that King Beihai died of poisoning, so he was determined to be King Beihai died of assassination. Who was the assassination? Why was it sarcastic? But it is unknown."

"When the Grand Tutor heard that the Prime Minister was coming, he ordered us to temporarily seal the wind and wait until the Prime Minister took office before he could speak out. However, we were the Prime Minister's subordinates, so we naturally refused to obey the Grand Tutor's orders, so we all came to the county border to greet him and reported this matter to the Prime Minister."

Zheng Xuan sighed, looked at He Bai, and shook his head again. The King of Beihai was stabbed, and the Grand Tutor who was currently in office was the most responsible. However, He Bai, the Prime Minister of Beihai, had not yet entered the country and was naturally unresponsible. However, the Grand Tutor did not want to take responsibility alone and wanted to take He Bai together to take the blame. This is a secret trick for guilty people in the officialdom to drag people into the water to share the blame. He is really unacceptable to honest scholars like Zheng Xuan.

However, the officials from the country who were also responsible for the crimes chose to go to the border to stop He Bai and tell the truth about the matter. I hope that with this achievement, I can obtain the protection of the new Beihai Prime Minister He Bai, and at the worst, I have to save my own life.

The assassination of the king of Beihai, the king of the country, is an important matter no matter where he is. Even if he is stabbed to Dong Zhuo in the court, he will still be shocked. In addition, the king of Beihai has no successor to the position of king, so it is possible that the big event of removing the Beihai country and restoring the capital of Beihai County will be a major event.

He Bai was in Qingzhou for the first time and was not familiar with the local environment and knew nothing about the affairs of the country. He was too anxious to be impatient. After discussing with Zheng Xuan, the best way was to stop at the border temporarily, clear the blame first, and send someone to report to the governor of Qingzhou to know about it, and then enter the country to clean up the situation.

Qingzhou connects Jizhou to the northwest, Yanzhou to the west, Xuzhou to the southwest, and the sea to the east, south, and north, which is the peninsula terrain in the north of Shandong Province in later generations. There are six counties under the prefecture, from east to west, and in turn: Donglai, Beihai, Qiguo, Le'an, Jinan and Pingyuan.

Compared with other states, Qingzhou has a characteristic, that is, the county and state under its jurisdiction are only one county and one county, while other counties and states are all federations. In this world, He Bai's invasions have entered the country, and now Donglai County has become a federation. In other words, Qingzhou has no county and all are states.

King Beihai inherited the inheritance of Liu Xing, the brother of Guangwu, and King Qi inherited the inheritance of Liu Zhang, the brother of Guangwu. These two vassal states were inherited for a long time. King Jinan Liu Yun was the cousin of Emperor Ling and belonged to the newly enfeoffed king. King Pingyuan Liu Shi was no longer in the chaos during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and King Le'an had long been re-entitled as King Qinghe. Therefore, although these two countries were called states, they had no masters and were slightly the same as the county.

If the Beihai King dies again, there will be three countries in Qingzhou without a master. This is actually a good thing for the court, because taxes can increase greatly, even if the emperor grows up and has a son, there will be a place to be a good place for the country.

The Qingzhou Governor's headquarters is in Linzi, Qi State, and is very close to Guoju County, Beihai, just two hundred miles away. It is only four hundred miles away from He Bai. It takes only three days to go back and forth.

The governor of Qingzhou was also shocked when he heard that King Beihai was assassinated. This was something that had not happened for many years since the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although the vassal kings of the Eastern Han Dynasty were free, they did not hold any power. They had their own prime ministers and lieutenants sent by the court to control the military and political power in the country. They were just rich and noble kings, who would have the intention to assassinate them?

The governor of Qingzhou immediately sent him to Beihai Kingdom to capture the tutor of King Beihai, the lieutenant and chief minister who intended to shirk responsibility. He also sent a special person to investigate the entire outcome of the case, and asked He Bai to enter the country to clean up the chaotic situation and report to the court for the tragic death of King Beihai.

When He Bai entered the Beihai County County, all the power in the country was wiped out, only He Bai was the only one who dominated. He Bai was the lord of a country at this time. He Bai then issued a prime minister order, writing: Since he came to the old Qi area, he should implement a policy of excluding miscellaneous numbers. Anyone who feels that he cannot defeat his job and commits illegal crimes in his job will resign in advance and will not investigate. If he is in love with the house, he should be trained by the real gold and fire.

As soon as this order was issued, and with the joint responsibility of the King of Beihai being stabbed, it would be better if he could escape his life. So the officials in the county resigned one after another, leaving only one tenth of the honest and capable officials. After He Bai asked Zhang Zhao to take the test, he stayed all of them to help.

When He Bai first came to Beihai, he needed the support of the Beihai scholars. In addition, he did not have very good talents under his command, so he asked Zheng Xuan to temporarily be a domestic consultant Zhongzheng official, recommend talents to him and conduct political affairs. Zheng Xuan then recommended Guan Ning, Bing Yuan's noble morality, Peng Yan was a square person, Sun Shao, and Wang Xiu were capable and loyal and righteous, and had far-reaching wiseness and far-reaching recommendations.

He Bai was overjoyed. Except for Peng Yan, these people were basically nominated or appeared in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Especially Sun Shao, He Bai vaguely remembered that he was the first prime minister of Sun Quan's emperor. Others such as Guan Ning, Bing Yuan and Hua Xin from Pingyuan Kingdom were known as one-stop, Wang Xiu and Yi were both talented people. It seems that Zheng Xuan's move was extraordinary, with a poisonous and spicy vision.

The officials under the Prime Minister are the officials of Gongcao, five-staff, and supervisor. They are the right-hand men of the Prime Minister. They have the highest status among the officials appointed by the county government. They are responsible for the overall situation, command or supervise the performance of other cadres.

Gongcao's status in the county government is equivalent to that of the prime minister in the court. In the minds of people at that time, Gongcao was the most respected and prominent subordinate official in the county. Under special circumstances, Gongcao could decide everything inside and outside the county government. However, his main job was "the main choice of merits", including the appointment and removal of county officials and rewards and punishments. It was equivalent to the Minister of Personnel, so Sun Shao was able to be comprehensive and gentle, so He Bai was responsible for it.

The five-sense officer is an honorary position, and it is not necessarily in charge, and it can also be taken care of. Anyone who is vacant or leaves office, a temporary position of another official is called acting, which is different from a formal appointment. His status is relatively high, or second only to Gongcao. His job is a sacrificial sacrifice in the county Spring and Autumn Period, and is ranked by the chief sacrificial officials and is ranked first among the officials. It is equivalent to the Minister of Rites. Because of the high reputation of Bing Yuan, He Bai served it as a sacrificial servant.

As the prefect of the county, the Inspector clearly distinguishes good and evil from the outside. His main responsibility is to supervise the county government. There are two departments, three departments, four departments and five departments in a county. The main targets of the inspection are the county magistrates and officials, who check whether they are good and evil and whether they are competent, and then report to the government to reward and punish them. Sometimes they can be authorized to arrest criminals. In the same way as the Later Century Committee, it is almost the Minister of Justice. He Bai temporarily divided two departments, and served as the Eastern Supervisor with the decisive and loyal Wang Xiu, and the Western Supervisor with far-reaching wisdom.

The magistrate is the representative of the county magistrate's court. This kind of plan not only represents the county magistrate, but also can even evaluate whether the county magistrate can be evaluated in the central government. Generally speaking, the history of the magistrate who went to Beijing was either met by the emperor himself or the three ministers received the plan. Therefore, the county magistrate was more cautious when choosing the magistrate's official position. It is equivalent to the Minister of Revenue, in order to avoid perseverance, He Bai was appointed as the magistrate's official position with the magistrate's official position.

The last person was Guan Ning, who was too famous. After He Bai invited him, he only talked about Confucian classics without talking about worldly affairs. He Bai vaguely knew that his personality was like this, and he was a hermit who studied and studied, so he served as a school official. The academic official literary officer was the head of the county and state schools. His main responsibilities were to manage students and teach students. In addition, all matters related to education and etiquette in the county were often to participate. Guan Ning accepted this position because of Zheng Xuan's face and was in line with his wishes and could not be rejected.

The chief clerk is the assistant in charge of documents, and he revises the documents and books and seals. He is the chief clerk who drafts some documents, manages archives, and has various seals. He is the main responsibility of reading books and teaching on behalf of the county magistrate, delivering letters to the prefect, and welcoming guests to the prefect. He is the secretary's work and is also a position that Lu Bu once held, and He Bai hired Sun Qian as the prefect.

In addition to the above officials in charge of political affairs, the officials of various cadres who were in charge of the government, such as Hu Cao, Bi Cao, Shi Cao, Tian Cao, Shui Cao, and Shui Cao, would serve as officers, Cang Cao, Jin Cao, Ji Cao, Cao Cao, Law Cao, Military Cao, Wei Cao, Bi Cao, Tribulation Cao, Jue Cao, Medical Cao, etc. He Bai hired the newly-grown disciples of Zheng Xuan to serve as the newly-grown disciples. In order to avoid being occupied by Zheng Xuan's disciples, most of them were naturally the guests summoned by Luo Pei and others.

In addition to selecting some talents in the county to serve as various officials and assigning officials from Cao, the county magistrates, who are either very virtuous, honest, or have outstanding talents in the county, but are unwilling to serve as specific officials, will be kept in the county government in the name of scattered officials, and will be polite to the courtesy of teachers and friends. The one with the highest status among them, He Bai will be the guest Zhang Zhao.

The position in politics has been decided, and the next step is military affairs. There are 18 counties in Beihai Kingdom, with 200 guards in each county; Ju County is the county seat, so there are 300 more guards, with a total of 3900 guards. There are quite a few soldiers, but these are already inferior soldiers on the fourth line, and they can only defend the city and cannot go to the battlefield.

There are three thousand troops stationed in three lines outside Ju County. They were originally under the jurisdiction of the Lieutenant of Beihai. Now the Lieutenant is arrested for his guilt and the King of Beihai is dead again. The Beihai Kingdom is in the mainland, so it is naturally impossible to send a new commander to command the army. The power of the troops and horses will automatically belong to He Bai, the Prime Minister of Beihai.

There are two soldiers from these three thousand counties, one is Wu'anguo and the other is Zongbao. They are both very acquaintances to He Bai. Their ability to command troops is average, only qualified, and not outstanding. However, Wu'anguo's martial arts are very strong, not much inferior to He Bai, and his strength is amazing, so he can be among the top-notch generals. As long as they don't meet top-notch generals, they can basically walk sideways in Qingzhou.

He Bai appointed Huang Zhong as the Sima of the camp, commanded the 1,000 troops and horses of the former lieutenant, and could command the two troops of Wu'anguo and Zong Bao. Many guests were also mixed with the military as deputy positions, as well as professors, staff officers and other positions, preparing to implement the training outline for future generations.

He also gathered the troops in the army to lead the army, and the officers below the Marquis of the Army were about to open a martial arts lecture hall in Ju County, and he and Huang Zhong and the five major troops in the army taught the way of commanding the army. All these actions greatly reduced the power of Wu'anguo and Zong Bao in the army, which caused great dissatisfaction among the two.

However, when Huang Zhongyi showed his martial arts skills to defeat the arrogant Wu'anguo, He Bai gave him money and the means of winning over white wine, the two generals were willing to bow to He Bai's command. At this point, the Beihai country had all been in the hands of He Bai, so He Bai rewarded several dead soldiers secretly assisting Zheng Bu and other scholars. He also set up the Shadow Defense Organization, with Zheng Bu as the leader, and full-time investigation, spy, and assassination.

When the military and political affairs of Beihai State were quickly controlled by He Bai in just two or three days, he could not help but let the county magistrates of the seventeen counties in the county be frightened. With such a wise and decisive prime minister in office, who would dare to easily disobey the orders? In a moment, the government orders of the whole county suddenly became smooth and rapid, and He Bai could finally implement his own political reform plan.
