Early in the morning, the county yamen was crowded with people. This relatively simple administrative center was crowded with many officers and civil servants. In the center, there was a little boy named Su Ming. His family was once a fugitive, but now he is a "temporary worker", waiting to be re-naturalized.

In addition, there is also the little girl Wen Dan who is not in good spirits. Everyone is very surprised, but her name is Wen Dan. This is not the most suitable Chinese translation, but Su Ming calls her that, and everyone calls her that.

Su Ming and Xiao Wendan told a simple story in a few words, and it was finished in a short while. The only turning point of this story was that Xiao Wendan's family did not "live happily ever after". Her whole family died, and she became an orphan, and was not covered by the Song Dynasty's pension policy.

After listening to what Xiao Wendan said, some people were angry, some people sympathized, some people were silent, and some people frowned, and all the time.

Lu Huiqing is a representative figure among the frowning, and he is constantly observing the changes in Wang's expression.

At the last moment, Xiao Wendan's legs were inconvenient. With the help of Su Ming, she slowly knelt on the ground and cried: "Please protect me. My mother is not dead yet. They usually do not kill beautiful adult women. Please save me..."

The king didn't say anything, just observed everyone's expressions.

Lu Huiqing, who was sitting next to the king, frowned even more and hesitated and said: "Xiao Wendan should not ask too much. Your mother's spirit is worthy of praise, but my Song State government cannot easily intervene in this matter. You have arrived in Funing County. You are not a citizen of the Song Dynasty. But I will make exceptions and give you a place to live. Don't talk about the rest in this court, go down first."

Given that the king did not object, a man came out and took Xiao Wendan, who had been crying, out.

After the hall calmed down, Wang started to speak, "For the past two days, I have been thinking about a question, what should I do if I take it right or not?"

Everyone is not aware of the harshness.

Wang Dao: "I didn't understand this problem until this morning before I left the house. So I couldn't explain it to Lu Huiqing last night."

He paused and said, "But just now, my head suddenly became clear. When a child who trusted me and came to join me to save her mother, when I had the ability, I knew what kind of decision to make. Simply put, now I want to rescue her mother and hand it back to her."

Anton frowned and intervened, "Please be careful. This involves more complicated issues. And they are not citizens of the Song Dynasty. There is no reason for us to break the state of not violating the river water with the Three Mountains and Qizhaijingshui Rivers. This is really a danger of harming the interests of Funing County."

Wang looked at him and said slowly: "Anton is right. The secretary recorded his speech, including the next words of this officer, as well as the record."

"Yes." The clerk stood up and nodded.

Wang looked at the shopkeeper who was recruiting workers outside the city and said, "You are right if you don't hire her."

The shopkeeper couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Wang looked at the soldier who was guarding the city at that time and said, "You are right if you don't let her enter the city."

At this point, the king knocked on the table and said, "It is right to save them, and it is right not to save them. But when a consul decides to rescue a crying helpless girl, I dare to say that any voice that dissuades me and stops me from doing things on this issue for any reason."

Lu Huiqing and Anton couldn't help but look at each other.

The captain of the public security brigade Quan Berlin was a family member. He quickly applauded, but found that no one followed him and was stared at by Lu Huiqing. So Lao Quan felt depressed and had to lower his head.

When some people were about to speak again, Wang raised his hand and stopped, "You will be allowed to speak, but wait for me to finish speaking first, and finally there will be a moment of concentrated speech."

Everyone was settled again.

The king then said, "When I was in Shuzhou, my father, the old prime minister, told me more than once that a person will face many things that cannot make a decision in his life, and that no matter how he does it, he will be right and wrong. What should he do?"

After looking around, Wang said, "He said that he should just use his conscience as the bottom line. He would do things wrong. If he made mistakes, he could correct them. If he failed, he could start over. But if he didn't do well, he would lose his conscience bottom line and everything would deteriorate."

"My original intention in governing is to liberate, to punch and kick unreasonable rules, and to laugh and scold unreasonable things. The purpose of the Funing Army I personally formed is to endorse my governance philosophy. We can do something wrong, but we must have a conscience as the ultimate bottom line and always maintain a bloody nature. When we lose this original intention, we may not have done anything wrong, but we are not the soldiers I brought out."

"It is true that the government needs to make steady decisions in our own way, and there are many rules and regulations within us. But I insist that when an army can silently face the little girl who seeks help from tears, this may be a calm and effective decision, but the bloodline of this army has changed. I don't believe that such an army can have the will to support the rise of the empire."

"In the past, we were incompetent in the compromise with the Sanshan and Qizhai. We were in a vague ambush. The strategic environment was too harsh and the food and clothing problem had not been solved. And I really didn't expect them to be so crazy. Now, Funing County is still at a disadvantage compared to the Sanshan and Qizhai. The internal environment is not good enough, and there are still hidden dangers in the external environment."

After looking around here, Wang stood up and said, "But I have no time to wait any longer. The transfer of rights is imminent, and the future and future after entering Beijing are unknown."

He slapped the table with red eyes and angrily scolded: "I am still so crazy here. The border residents are not as good as pigs and dogs. The government cannot do anything. There are no effective countermeasures and plans. So I dare not think about how floods will be here after I leave. The decisive battle is not yet ripe, and Funing County is in chaos and has many hidden dangers. I don't know what to do, but I only know: this is a big problem for me and a major choice. If I don't do this before the transfer of rights, I'm afraid no consul can handle it in the future, and the development of Funing County will still be restricted. The border residents will not be liberated, and the dream of Funing's Industrial City is a joke."

At this point, the king lowered his voice and said, "I am in charge of Funing County. Before the term of office has expired, I am facing leaving office. I claim to have some credit, some conscience, and have done some good things, but objectively speaking, there are many mistakes. In the end, I did not completely change this place to what I thought at the beginning and did not fulfill all the promises of the consul to rule. I am very sorry for this. In terms of details, maybe Lu Huiqing will be better than me in the future, but he does not have my firmness and decisiveness. I don't believe that he can handle the relationship with the copycat in the future. This will always be a hidden danger and cancer in the development of Funing County."

"In fact, my rights have been handed over, and Zhan Zhao has brought military orders to remove my command. But before I leave, I want to take away this wave of monsters and monsters that are beyond my estimates, leaving a clean and safe environment for Funing County in the future. Let's speak freely and allow you to speak."

Before this, many people wanted to speak, but now there is no more. Except for Lu Huiqing, everyone stood up and expressed their support for the old leader's decision to send troops.

Lu Huiqing leaned close to Wang and whispered: "Since the adults are going to help students bear this great political and military risk before handing over, the students have nothing to say and support the dispatch of troops."

In this regard, the king stood up and said, "On behalf of the magistrate of Lu Huiqing, I ordered Funing County to enter a second-level combat readiness state. At the same time, I sent messengers to the entrance of the Seven Villages of Sanshan Mountain to convey my words. The content is as follows: Funing Army formally ultimatums for Sanshan Mountain and Seven Villages, which lasts for fifteen days. If the weapons are put down, slaves are released, and the gates are opened for verification by Funing County in the Great Song Dynasty, they will be considered prisoners and will be given preferential policies. If the ultimatum period is missed, and those who have not responded and refuse to accept armed dismissal will refuse to declare war on Sanshan Mountain. In addition, when the ultimatum is received, Xiao Wendan's mother will not be released within one day, and after the declaration of war, they will no longer accept any negotiations and surrenders in any situation. If they release Xiao Wendan's mother, they will be included in the ultimatum period of fifteen days. If they do not accept verification in the end, they will declare war."

Zhan Zhao intervened and said, "If we deal with it like this... the chance of saving Xiao Wendan's mother is very slim. In addition, the adult policy will easily turn the power of the Three Mountains and Seven Villages into a force and gather people to fight against the King's Army."

Wang said lightly: "I knew from the beginning that I didn't have much hope. Making this choice is just to maintain my bloodline and original intention of Funing Army. To be honest, I don't promise to save Xiao Wendan's mother. I just work like this. At the same time, I want to protect more border residents. When I take office, I want to use more easing policies to slowly solve the problem of the Three Mountains and Seven Villages. Unfortunately, I have no time. In fact, they no longer treat border residents as human beings, which means they have no humanity and cannot be saved. I think it's better to declare war in unification.

Solve the problem without using cowardly policies to leave future troubles for future development. The process of starting a war will lead to the death of many innocent people, such as soldiers participating in the war, slaves trapped in the Three Mountains and Seven Villages, and border residents who cannot obtain effective protection in the fire of war. But I don’t want to delay any more, and doing things will definitely come at a price. This is a war, so there will be sacrifices. At the same time, those who sacrifice can purify this land with blood and exchange for the opportunity for others to recuperate. On the principle issue, don’t be afraid of bleeding, but remember the meaning of these blood. This is the mission and principle of the warrior.”

All stand at attention.

Even Zhan Zhao, who has always liked to argue, had nothing to say. However, he finally asked him to go to Weilong Mountain to speak. Zhan Zhao's reason was that this process would not affect the bandit suppression of the Funing Army, but if he could use the opportunity to enter the parody to rescue Xiao Wendan's mother, although it would be of no use in the overall situation, it would be considered as fulfilling Xiao Wendan's entrustment.
