Chapter 228 Moonlit Night, Candles

Gao Yu was appointed to take charge of the financial power of the vassals under his rule. With his real talent and knowledge, Li Tianqu would turn a blind eye to certain things, but this did not mean that he would allow the breeding of corruption in fiscal taxation, business and other aspects.

At the beginning of the establishment of ordinary vassal states, the abilities and qualities of officials recruited at all levels in charge of finance were inevitably mixed. Li Tianqu also set out regulations on fiscal revenue and expenditure assessment, and summoned Zhang Juhan, who was in charge of local supply and transfer of money and grain, and asked him to balance the financial revenue and expenditure of various places, but also carefully implement his authority to supervise local officials. Once he thoroughly investigates all vassal states, prefectures, and county treasurys, he must report the money and grain revenue and expenditure of various vassal states, prefectures, and county treasurys, and thoroughly investigate the crimes of corruption and other crimes.

In addition to Gao Yu, who was met by Li Tianqu personally, the rest of the people who came to vote for during those days were still subject to the review by Zhang Qiao and Du Xunhe. As soon as an expert took action, he knew whether there was any. Zhang and Du were full of knowledge and used their literary knowledge to talk to others through the interview process. Zhang Qiao and Du Xunhe could probably have a number of numbers in their belly.

The focus of the assessment next is not as diverse as the content of the civil service examination in later generations. The central point is: What position do you think you can be competent for with your talents? What will you plan to do if you are appointed to that position?

Those who didn't know how much they were, and those who were thinking about whether they had dates or not, were trying to make a living, were sent away, and those who had to try their best. After Zhang Qiao and Du Xunhe reviewed some knowledge and talents, most of them were transferred to the Dental Office of the County to be clerks to supplement the grassroots personnel of various administrative systems in the vassal states under Li Tianqu's rule. As for those who were well-educated and ambitious, who were rated as capable of being the governor of a state or directly recommended to Li Tianqu as a close minister of a vassal state, except Gao Yu, there has not yet appeared.

Li Tianqu inspected the two states of Xu and Si. Not only did the Tianping Military Governor's headquarters also need to personally appease the surrendered staff and ministers, but also went to Mizhou to inspect the Maritime Port... During this period, he was very busy in Xiaqiu, Pengcheng, Yuncheng and Banqiao Town. However, whenever he went there, he was actually not alone in the bedside, most of the time...

In the Mizhou District, in the boudoir of an official office in Zhucheng, Li Tianqu stood not far from the boudoir bed, staring at the woman curled up beside the bed. Her oval face had two thin eyebrows, which were thin but not small, with black beads and black pupils, clear and bright red phoenix eyes, pink face and peach cheeks, red lips and grey teeth, and below the jade neck... in short, she has a graceful and beautiful figure.

However, when this woman looked at Li Tianqu, there was still a little fear in her eyes. After all, her original husband, Zhu Xuan, the governor of Tianping Army, was also fighting against Li Tianqu and losing his life.

Originally, Zhu Wen regarded Zhu Xuan, who was of the same surname as his respected brother, but this Rong family should be equivalent to his sister-in-law. However, according to the historical trajectory, Zhu Wen killed Zhu Xuan, and saw that Rong was born beautiful, so he forced him to defile him for several nights, and then took her back to Bianzhou. Zhu Wen and Zhu Xuan were like brothers, and his beloved wife Zhang Hui had some friendship with Rong family. Learning about the scandal of his husband, Zhang Hui's reaction was to cry and worship the Rong family, "The Zhu Taiwei and Bianzhou are the same surname, and they are the same country as each other. The brothers have a big fight with each other, which is very unfortunate, and if my sister is in humiliated, if the Taiwei trapped Bianzhou, I would probably have the same fate as you."...

Zhu Wen was lustful and unrestrained outside, but he was in love with his beloved wife for ten minutes. So seeing Zhang Hui's attitude towards Rong, she thought that she was not inconvenient to mess around under her beloved wife's nose, so she sent someone to send Rong to the temple as a nun, and never touched her body again since then. Zhang Hui was kind-hearted and often sent people to visit Rong to protect her from food and clothing.

However, since the Rong family has fallen into Li Tianqu's hands, they are no longer a nun who can grow up with the ancient Buddha of Qinglan.

Li Tianqu asked himself that he had to be a person, but he was not Liu Xiahui who was in a mess, nor would he be merciful to be a good person. People have their own emotions and desires. When they returned to Xiaqiu a few days ago, they saw Zhu Xuan's widow, and Li Tianqu would take Rong with him when he went to Mizhou again. Naturally, he had already figured out how to treat her.

At this moment, seeing that the Rong family's face was pale and still looking towards this side with some vigilance, Li Tianqu sighed slightly and said, "Zhu Xuan and I are adjacent vassal states, and we are fighting for hegemony, and we are all planning to capture the Taining Army. We are incompatible with each other, and we are not allowed to do two tigers in one mountain. If I am a little careless and defeated by him, the fate will only be even more miserable, so I and Zhu Xuan can only stay alive.

Now that the outcome is decided, I will not say anything that can embellish my behavior. I have done this to kill my husband and wife, and as I and Zhu Xuan, this is the case in this world. Since you are helpless, follow me."

Rong couldn't help but pursed her lips when she heard this. The horse-drawn bun she was combed was originally shaking, her temples were messy, a strand of hair fell from her face, and the threads were also pursed into her lips, which seemed to be the dangerous hairstyle left by later women... After a moment, Rong couldn't help but say with some grief in his tone:

"How dare I be as good as a willow, but I am so disappointed that I am just a woman. Men can't make a decision on the great things of a man's appearance. I just want to be a man and I am sorry for me. I promise that I will leave after being a wife. My widow will live to the end. Since my husband dies, I should not live alone..."

"You want to leave, but where can you go?"

However, before Rong finished speaking, Li Tianqu interrupted her and said, "If you follow me, you can still get the protection of the vassal states, be rich and prosperous, maybe you won't care, but you can also keep you safe. In this world, where do you plan to settle down? There is no need to say that you should do your best to live alone. It's been a while since you settle down. If you really have to be determined to follow Zhu Xuan, why wait until today in a difficult situation?

When Zhu Xuan was alive, he was your husband and you were also your dependence on living a happy life. He had to keep a chaste woman for him, which is also reasonable. But since Zhu Xuan had died, he asked himself, because he was burdened with you, he would still live a life of loneliness and hardship in the future... Are you really willing?"

When Rong heard this, she was stunned. She looked at Li Tianqu in shock, but her heart felt mixed feelings. Although the enemy who was standing in front of her was the enemy who killed her father, Rong was also very clear about the attacks between the generals of Zhenjie, and the widow of the defeated person had to let the victorious party do whatever he wanted... In fact, Rong was also very clear about Li Tianqu's attitude towards him so far. Although Rong was unwilling to admit Li Tianqu's words, her mood was already shaking, but she couldn't help but agree with the words said by the man in front of her.

Suddenly, he walked towards him again. Rong exclaimed, subconsciously getting up to resist. But her hands stopped as soon as she raised them halfway, and the battle between heaven and man in her mind was even more in a mess. Rong wanted to reach out and push Li Tianqu away, but she not only knew that struggle was useless, but a strange idea emerged in her heart: Should I resist?

In this way, Rong was stunned and did not move. He watched Li Tianqu get closer and closer to him, and just watched him untied the curtain and tent, and isolated the man and woman from the outside of the bed.

However, the fire in the lantern hanging outside the boudoir where Rong and Li Tianqu were suddenly rising a little. The candle flames swayed and swung, and the shadows contained the candle tonight, and their hearts were almost in harmony. After about an hour, the candle flames in the lantern slowly calmed down, and the sound of the flames fluttered gradually disappeared, and everything in the world was silent until the spring night passed...
