Early the next morning, the entire county government knew the news that the imperial envoy was about to arrive. Xu Boyi called the servants of the subordinate officials in each class and house, and made a careful arrangement. The whole county mobilized and started preparing various gifts in a hurry.
For a moment, the wind direction turned sharply. Originally, people thought that after Ye Xiaotian returned to Hu County, he joined hands with Hua Qingfeng to completely suppress Xu Xiancheng's arrogance. Ever since the three heads were sacrificed on the post road, Xu Boyi has indeed been silent. Who knew that he would sneak through Chen Cang and play such a trick, the imperial envoy is coming!
There are so many counties in the world, most of them have never been visited by imperial envoys. Not to mention the little Hu County, where even officials at the prefectural level have never been here, and now they are welcoming angels all of a sudden, what a grand and glorious event.
The reply from the Ministry of Rites was for Xu Boyi, and Xu Boyi became the natural person in charge. If he wanted to employ people, who would dare to refuse? He wants to repair the official road, renovate the official building, and build a post for the imperial envoy. How dare the county finance not allocate funds? For a while, Xu Boyi regained most of his financial power and human rights, and he was able to fight against Hua Qingfeng who had the upper hand. Moreover, Hua Qingfeng was guarding the post road, while Xu Boyi was in charge of the overall situation in the county, and the situation of host and guest had faintly changed.
Interested people noticed that Ye Dianshi went to the county government office early in the morning to click a dick, and then left. No need to ask, he must have gone to Hua Qingfeng to discuss countermeasures. This time, most people are not optimistic about him, Xu Boyi has the emperor's life, what do you use to fight him
Ye Xiaotian didn't panic at all. That's right, Xu Boyi is very prosperous now, and indeed no one dares to stop him from seizing power. Any opposition or obstruction, when this matter has risen to a higher level of political consideration by the emperor and the court, is extremely serious in nature mistake.
However, the ultimate key is that Xu Boyi can do this. Otherwise, no matter how much he wins today, he will have to spit out twice as much tomorrow. Ye Xiaotian planned early and arranged carefully, just to dig a hole that he couldn't jump out of. At this time, the plan is about to be realized, and it's too late for Ye Xiaotian to be happy, so how could he feel uneasy.
Ye Xiaotian was spoiled by Hua Qingfeng and Su Ya's couple last night. After sending them away, he didn't want to make out with Duo Ni anymore. Hua Qingfeng lacked responsibility and was not easy to persuade, so Ye Xiaotian carefully prepared several plans.
Ye Xiaotian this time is planning to get Hua Qingfeng into the plan regardless of being cheated. Unexpectedly, when Ye Xiaotian arrived at the inn, Hua Qingfeng invited him into the room and sat down, before Ye Xiaotian could speak, Hua Qingfeng spoke first.
Hua Qingfeng said: "Ye Dianshi, I thought about it for a long time after I came back last night. Xu Boyi borrowed Tianwei this time, not to mention you and me, even if the government officials wanted to stop them, they also wanted to block the traffic with their arms. If you fail, you can only start from the most essential place!"
Ye Xiaotian was startled for a moment, swallowed the words that came to his lips, looked at Hua Qingfeng and said, "What does the county lord mean?"
Hua Qingfeng said: "The imperial court values him so much and cares so much about this matter. What is the reason? It is to hope that the people of all ethnic groups in this county can change their names and surnames. This is not only convenient for household registration management, but also for the imperial court. This means that the prestige spreads in the four barbarians, and the enlightenment spreads in all directions. To the emperor, this means that after the emperor is in charge, the sky is in harmony with the people. With such a righteous name in hand, who dares to stop him? However, if this matter happens What will happen if the people of all ethnic groups strongly oppose it?"
There was a hint of cunning on Hua Qingfeng's face, and he said with a smile: "As far as the county knows, Ye Dianshi has a very close relationship with the Gaoli Village. The Gaoli Village is the head of the tribes in the county. The Horde has always followed their lead."
Ye Xiaotian was secretly surprised, when did this magistrate become so courageous? If you want to make a fuss about this matter, the nature of it is not just a fight with Xu Boyi, it is against the trend of the court and against the will of the emperor!
Inciting the people of all ethnic groups to oppose, Xu Boyi was finished, but the emperor thought it was true and sent the imperial envoy excitedly, but he returned in disgrace, and the court and the emperor would lose face by then. Once this matter is known, it is the crime of beheading!
Although, Ye Xiaotian was so bold, he planned to do this in the first place. What kind of emperor with imperial power and a decent court is just a fart in his heart. He doesn't have such a generous nature, he can open roads across mountains and build bridges when encountering waters. Can he defeat Qi Mu and kill Meng Qingwei? The method of sending the wicked couple back to the West is absolutely illegal.
Ye Xiaotian has never had the consciousness to worry about the country, the people, and the world, but he is by no means a corrupt official bully who will bully men and women and blaspheme once he gains power. He only sticks to his heart, as long as it doesn't disturb his conscience , then nothing can be done. But he didn't expect Huazhi County, who has always been timid and follow the rules, would have such a plan.
"It seems that he also knows that once Xu Boyi succeeds, he will have no chance to stand up again. He is in a hurry to jump over the wall!" Ye Xiaotian thought secretly, feeling quite happy in his heart. Since Hua Qingfeng opened his mouth on his own initiative, but It saved him a lot of effort, if he had known this, why bothered to think about those many excuses last night.
Hua Qingfeng saw Ye Xiaotian nodded in agreement, and a smile appeared on his face. At this time, Hua Qingfeng seems to be slightly different from the past, but who can notice? Everyone has long been accustomed to his "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" image.

"This precept stone, hurry up and wash it with water again." Xu Boyi pointed to the precept stone in front of the court, and ordered a yamen servant, the yamen servant agreed, and ran away with a basin.
Xu Boyi hurried forward, and asked Li Yuncong as he walked, "Have you changed all the drums at the gate of the court?"
Li Yuncong said: "Don't worry, my lord, they have all been replaced with new ones, and the fence has also been repainted."
At this time, the entire yamen had taken on a new look, but under Xu Boyi's order, all the people were still climbing up the walls of the houses, digging doors and stealing holes, and carried out a very thorough cleaning.
These days, the people in the entire yamen have been turned around by Xu Boyi's command. The Guangda cleaning has been carried out four times, and the imperial envoy will arrive tomorrow.
At the gate of the yamen, three ladders were erected on the lintel, and two yamen servants, dressed in short attire, climbed on the high lintel and wiped the already shiny county yamen signboard with a rag. The middle yamen servant climbed down the ladder , Lifted the bucket to clean the rag.
Seeing this, Xu Boyi tucked up his robe, climbed up the ladder, reached out and touched behind the plaque, saw the thin layer of floating dust on his hand, and became furious: "A group of bastards, don't look at it for a moment. You just want to be perfunctory, why is the back of the plaque so dirty? Take off the plaque and make sure it is spotless."
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Xu Xiancheng is working hard. Are your legs running thin these days?" Suddenly there was a strange voice from below. Xu Boyi looked down and saw Ye Xiaotian standing in front of the steps, looking at him with the corner of his mouth curled up. He looked contemptuous and disdainful.
Ye Xiaotian teased: "These days, Ye has seen your Master Xu wandering around in and out, and the back of the plaque has to be wiped repeatedly. Do you need to do this? Isn't it the imperial envoy who is coming? The imperial envoy will crawl Go up the ladder to check if the back of your plaque is clean?"
Xu Boyi climbed down the ladder, saw that Li Yuncong had retreated to the side embarrassingly, he couldn't help but give him a hard look, he is really a worthless person, if you have my own official to make decisions for you, why are you afraid of him! In a few more days, Japan's official career will flourish, and this little canon history will be even more trivial.
Xu Boyi looked down at Ye Xiaotian with a condescending gaze, and said proudly: "Ye Dianshi, the imperial envoy will naturally not climb to the lintel to check whether the plaque is clean, but the emperor sent someone, that is the glory of our Hu County. Mr. Xu is serving the court and the emperor, so he should do his best, so can he cheat if the imperial envoys can't see it or won't see it?"
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "Okay! It seems that Xu Xiancheng has been involved in the emperor for a while, it seems... a little far away."
Xu Boyi also laughed, and there was a needle-like brilliance in his slightly narrowed eyes: "Is it far? I don't think it's far away! Who would have thought that there would be an imperial angel coming to our county? But now the angel will arrive tomorrow. See you!" An angel is like a holy face, if you listen to the holy voice, how can you know that you can't really meet the Son of Heaven in the future?"
Ye Xiaotian said sarcastically: "Master Ye is really ambitious, I admire you!"
Xu Boyi sneered coldly, and said: "Ye Dianshi is in charge of public security in this county. Have you done everything I have told you? The imperial envoy will arrive tomorrow. If you make any mistakes, in front of the imperial envoy, This officer can't protect you either."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Don't worry, my lord, naturally I dare not neglect the duties of the lower officials, and I will never be late for business trips!"
"That's very good!" Xu Boyi smiled slightly, and said in a wrong way: "This time, I will honor you in front of the imperial envoy!"
Ye Xiaotian was "surprised" and said: "Really? Oh, the county magistrate really does not forget to help the younger ones, so I would like to thank my lord first."
"Hahaha… "
"Hey! Hey hey..."
The two laughed at the same time, the smiles were equally treacherous, but they didn't know what they were relying on.
On the official road of the post road, a group of officers and soldiers are escorting a guard of honor, Huang Yue, Bai Yan, Li Gua, Wo Gua, silver spear, long halberd, official title plate, dragon and phoenix flag... a full set of imperial guards of honor, accompanying the warriors Brocade clothes and embroidered jackets are clean and neat, each with a sword and sword hanging, and they are heroic.
In the car, Lin Siyan, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, held a chess piece and thought hard for a long time, finally threw the chess piece into the chess box, shook his head and said with a smile: "Lin has lost! Uncle Guo is better at chess!"
Li Xuancheng smiled slightly, messed up the chessboard casually, raised his eyes to look forward, and said: "Master Lin, should we go to Hu County tomorrow?"
Lin Shilang nodded and said: "That's right! Uncle Guo has been exhausted all the way, it's really hard work, and we can take a good rest when we arrive in Hu County."
Li Xuancheng shook his head and said with a smile: "It's hard work. This place in Guizhou has beautiful mountains and rivers, and the scenery along the way is very pleasing to the eye. Li likes it very much."
As Li Xuancheng said, he strolled out, held on to the railing of the car, and looked out into the distance. The mountains and rivers were beautiful, the sky was clear, and a snow-white cloud was quietly suspended in the air. Li Xuancheng's heart couldn't help but feel hot when he turned the beautiful face of all living beings upside down.
