After carefully reading Li Qing's letter, Du Huangshang found that there were many things in it that were vague. Not to mention the distance, even if the person who was waiting for him in his mansion, did Li Qing not say whether he helped him or him.

"Since Your Majesty can let Mr. participate in this matter of Shi Siming, it means that Mr. is also a person worthy of trust in His Majesty's heart. I don't know how you and I need to cooperate with this investigation of Shi Siming?"

After all, it was the first time Du Huangshang heard about Shi Siming. Although he had heard of it when he was in Chang'an City, he was obviously better than nothing. He said that the things he heard about were not beneficial to finding Shi Siming and Sanwan Yeluohe.

So he could only temporarily hand over the initiative to Yan Zhuang. After all, his purpose was to find Shi Siming, not to compete with Yan Zhuang. Even in terms of age, Yan Zhuang was almost the same as his father. If he took a step back and tried to attack Yan Zhuang, Du Huangshang would not be ashamed.

"I have been searching for me in the territory outside Hebei and Hebei Road for about a year. Although I have mastered some of his whereabouts during this period, I can't keep up with him. In the past three months, Shi Siming has no trace at all. Within three days, I will send you what I have. If you have any better ideas, I will naturally cooperate with you."

Although Yan Zhuang is not young, his experience in Hebei Dao has made great progress in his mind and nature. He is almost at the level of not being happy with things or sad with himself, so he has no intention of competing for dominance with Du Huangshang at all.

He just wanted to see if the young man Li chose was as powerful as he thought. At least from the current situation, Yan Zhuang hadn't seen anything yet. He had already learned that Du Huangshang was troubled by the magistrates and magistrates of Pingzhou.

"For this reason, thank you sir. I will wait in the mansion in three days!"

After Yan Zhuang left, Du Huangshang went directly to the prefect's mansion. The prefect gave him more face. After all, he still had to take many of the blame for Pingzhou.

"Prince, I want to know about Shi Siming, a rebel general before the Tang Dynasty. Since he has been operating in the Hebei Dao area before, I think the Presiding has some understanding of him, right?"

As soon as Du Huangshang finished asking these words, a glimmer flashed in the old majesty's eyes. Then he said in an old age: "He is a rebel general of the Tang Dynasty. The less you know, the better. If you know more, it will not be much beneficial for you to walk around the Hebei Dao realm!"

Obviously, the old prefect was teaching the young second-level class, but after hearing this, Du Huangshang shook his head and said to the old man's ear: "The prefect really won't think that I am the second-level class, just to help you rectify these unparalleled county magistrates, right? The prefect now tells me more about what he knows. When you return home, you won't continue to live in this bitter and cold place in Hebei Road!"

When the old prefect heard this, he widened his eyes. He was in the position of the prefect for many years, and after An Lushan's rebellion, he could still survive and stand firm in the position of the prefect. Obviously, there was something to do.

Du Huangshang's Pingzhou Sima was personally given by Li Qing. He knew about this matter. Combined with what Du Huangshang just said, the old man really didn't know how to play anymore. At that time, for his retirement, he didn't care about anything else. He also whispered to Du Huangshang: "I'll tell you these things. Don't mention that I said it, and it's best not to tell anyone who has nothing to do!"

"Don't worry, prefect, I understand."

After saying this, Du Huangshang secretly said sorry to the old prefect in his heart.

Du Huangshang's start was difficult, and this was something Li Yan could judge when he chose this position, but Li Yan also knew that this was a process he had to go through to become a qualified confidant.

Compared with Hong Yuan, although Du Huangshang's father was not very high in official positions, he was a good man in Chang'an City. In addition, Du Huangshang himself was really successful. He was the most unscrupulous person of his age in the Imperial College and had a smooth journey.

But a smooth journey cannot be trained to achieve a truly amazing talent, so Li Yan can only let him suffer a little setback in the past or two years to see how far he can grow.

Compared to Du Huangshang, who was in dire straits on Hebei Road, it was much smoother to return to Hongyuan, a prefecture and county adjacent to his hometown.

The county magistrate of Huang County has just been transferred, and Hong Yuan was in the right time to go. The county magistrate and county magistrate below did not have much power, so he basically had seamless connections.

The only problem he faced was that Huang County was not very good under the previous county magistrates' governance. As a county that relied on the sea, there was no severe cold in winter, but the population here was losing. If Li Neng had to evaluate the levels of each county again, Huang County would not be a county, and it would be great if he could barely be considered a middle-level county.

As soon as Hong Yuan arrived here, he understood Li Neng's intentions and knew that if he could restore Huang County to the 18th year of Kaiyuan in a short period of time, he would have completed the task.

This is indeed the first question Li Qing gave him, but just like Du Huangshang, Hong Yuan, as the top scorer in the provincial examination this year, must have at least two tasks.

Hong Yuan's second mission was not as complicated as Du Huangshang's, nor was there so much ritual. It was just a letter sent by the imperial guards and a small military talisman.

There was an army between Huangxian and Penglai on Henan Road at least during the Kaiyuan period. This army was claimed to be the guardian of Dongmu, and their responsibilities were to prevent enemies at sea.

However, with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty several years before, the forces across the sea, whether in Japan or Silla, were eager to have a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty. Their strategy for the Tang Dynasty was completely different from the somewhat uncivilized Uighurs and Tubo, and they were also the place where the most envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty were sent.

Since these little brothers are so obedient, gradually this army has no need to develop.
