Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Chapter 488 Chapter 488 Undercurrent Surges

Peng Jinshi caught up with Shi Tianyu and whispered, "Master Shi, Lü Yuan has become the governor and controls the three ministries. He can be said to be the king of Sichuan. I see that he has monopolized the political achievements. I am afraid that his previous kindness to you was false. You must be careful that he will avenge Wang Cai's death!"

~~
Shi Tianyu didn't say anything, his mind was full of thoughts and he was in a bad mood. He spent so much effort and hard work to build three thousand-year-old temples, but he didn't get promoted. He felt really uncomfortable.

It seems that something went wrong somewhere!

Hey, could it be that Shangguan Shu went to the Emperor and complained about me?

Um! possible!
Judging from the fact that the imperial court dispatched troops from all over the country to maintain order for the branches of the Henglian Silver Bank, Shangguan Shu had a very good relationship with the Emperor! Who in the world could mobilize troops from all over the country?

~~
Judging from the Ming Dynasty’s military management system, the Five Military Commission was only responsible for recruiting and training soldiers.

The Ministry of War is responsible for mobilizing troops, but has no authority to send generals.

The generals of each route were only responsible for fighting on the specific front lines.

Each military command was only responsible for the logistical support of the local garrison troops.

The only person who had the power to deploy troops at the same time was the emperor.

From this, it seems that Shangguan Shu must have gone to the Emperor to complain about me.

No matter what, Shangguan Shu will make me bear some losses.

Um! That's certainly the case.

~~
Shi Tianyu figured out all the details and turned his head to smile at Peng Jinshi.

Peng Jinshi nodded.

She's even wearing a mask because she has no nose!

He hated Shi Tianyu very much in his heart, but he had to serve him.

~~
Bai Youlong and Lu Baochuan deliberately walked at the back and whispered to each other.

Bai Youlong cursed Shi Tianyu in a low voice: "This little greedy turtle surnamed Shi has taken so much money from us, but he never gives me the post of Tongpan. It's a miserable day, isn't it? Among the officials from the court, no one praised Shi Tianyu! Humph! Shi Tianyu, you take money but don't do anything, go to hell!"

~~
Lu Baochuan also gnashed his teeth in hatred towards Shi Tianyu, and cursed in a low voice: "Maybe Lord Cui is not satisfied with the three Thousand Years Temples in Fucheng. Shi Tianyu, this little bastard, always wants to climb up, is he dead this time? He offended the Nine Thousand Years, and Lord Cui returned to the court to report to the Nine Thousand Years that Shi's bastard was behaving recklessly. This time, Shi is definitely dead."

Imagining Shi Tianyu's doomsday, a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth again.

~~
Bai Youlong said "Pah" at Shi Tianyu's back and cursed, "We will go to Yao's house later. Shi will stay in Yao's house temporarily. We have to ask Shi for the money back. This bastard took the money but didn't do anything. He is really a piece of shit."

~~
Lu Baochuan thought for a moment, and hurriedly stopped Bai Youlong, whispering, "No! County Magistrate Bai, this little bastard surnamed Shi is ruthless and merciless. If we get the silver back, I'm afraid we won't be able to enjoy it in our lifetime!"

Bai Youlong glared at Lu Baochuan and said in dissatisfaction: "What should we do? Are we just going to let it go? Isn't my money money? Is it easy for me to make some money? Are we just going to give it away to that bastard named Shi for nothing?"

Lu Baochuan offered a sinister suggestion, whispering: "County Magistrate Bai, why don't we secretly report it to the Censorate? Last time Zhuo Yue reported Cheng Xiuzhu, Lord Ma quickly sent Tian Lufeng and Yuan Weiqing to arrest Cheng Xiuzhu's family. Although Cheng Xiuzhu's family was wiped out and the case was left unresolved, Cheng Xiuzhu's family was also ruined! The best thing for the two of us to do is to ruin the reputation of Mr. Shi. What's the point of taking back that little bit of money? It's better to ruin Mr. Shi's reputation!"

~~
Bai Youlong felt that this was a very good and vicious plan, so he nodded and said with gritted teeth: "Okay! If this dog official surnamed Shi doesn't let us go up, we will pull him down. Humph! It's settled, let this dog thief surnamed Shi be ruined from now on, and he will never be able to stand up again."

~~
Lu Yuan accompanied Cui Chengxiu and his party along the highway from Fucheng to Chengdu that Yao Luyang had built for Shi Tianyu. They left a trail of horse hoof prints in the snow and soon returned to Chengdu, where they again received praise from Cui Chengxiu, Wei Guangwei and others.

These extraordinary court officials praised Lü Yuan for his courage to build a highway from Fucheng to Chengdu. They also said that in the Ming Dynasty, apart from the capital, there were only two other highways like Guxiang County to Fucheng and Fucheng to Chengdu.

~~
Lu Yuan blushed when he heard these words of praise. Fortunately, he had profound inner strength and his face was naturally red. Otherwise, he would be so ashamed that he would really find a hole to crawl into.

After all, the praises from Cui Chengxiu, Wei Guangwei and others for Lv Yuan were all due to Shi Tianyu! Now, Lv Yuan was secretly ashamed of the fact that Shi Tianyu's achievements were attributed to him.

~~
Cui Chengxiu and Lu Yuan walked into the Bushi Mansion side by side and said, "Lord Lu, Princess Changxiang wants you to promote Fucheng's experience in Sichuan as soon as possible and build ten thousand-year-old temples in various prefectures and states in Sichuan as soon as possible, so as to enhance the influence of the Nine Thousand Years Old."

Lu Yuan patted his chest and promised, "Master Cui, please rest assured that I will complete this important task in the first half of next year. Oh, by the way, how is the matter between Princess Changxiang and Master Pan going?"

I really want to know if Wei Xueyan has a crush on someone now? I really want to send my beloved son Lu Chusheng to the Wei family as a son-in-law. I also know that my failure to visit several provinces is not enough to please Wei Zhongxian. If I want to get further promotion, I have to rely on Wei Zhongxian.

~~
Cui Chengxiu sighed and said, "Alas! Princess Changxiang has very high standards! No one knows what she is thinking. She and Master Pan only met once in front of the gate of Jiuqiansui Mansion, and after that, Princess Changxiang has always refused to see Master Pan."

Speaking of this, I am quite worried about Wei Xueyan's lifelong affairs.

He acknowledged Wei Zhongxian as his biological father and also treated Wei Xueyan as his own sister.

~~
Lü Yuan hurriedly asked again: "What does nine thousand years old mean?"

I thought Wei Xueyan is twenty years old this year, right?

Why haven't they gotten married yet? Isn't Wei Zhongxian worried about his daughter's lifelong affairs?
~~
Cui Chengxiu sighed again and said, "Alas! Even the Ninth Prince can't make the decision on this matter. Girls are outgoing. The Ninth Prince has persuaded Princess Changxiang many times, but it's useless! And Princess Changxiang doesn't like to stay in Kyoto for a long time. She always leaves Kyoto more often." Zhou Yingqiu saw that Lu Yuan suddenly cared about Wei Xueyan's lifelong event, and asked curiously, "Hey, does Lord Lu have any suitable candidates?"

Lu Yuan really wanted to introduce his son Lu Chusheng and recommend Lu Chusheng, but when the words came to his lips, he felt something was wrong, so he cleverly introduced Shi Tianyu and said, "Oh, your humble servant Zhi, oh, Lord Zhou, what do you think of the Fucheng prefect Shi Tianyu? This guy is very capable and handsome." Zhou Yingqiu was the Minister of Personnel and was used to not expressing his opinions casually, so he kept silent.

~~
Tian Ergeng laughed without restraint and said, "Haha! It's that kid Shi Tianyu? He is quite handsome, but he has been sentenced to death by His Majesty. He has no future and is nothing!"

All the officials in Sichuan were shocked and disappointed with Shi Tianyu. Most officials were kind to Shi Tianyu because he was young and already a second-rank official. Now, after hearing Tian Ergeng say that Shi Tianyu had no future, they were immediately disappointed with him. At the same time, they also wondered why the imperial edict today did not mention Shi Tianyu's merits and promote him.
Oh, so that's how it is. Now I understand everything.

But how could Shi Tianyu, who is so capable, offend the emperor? Wasn't the emperor very good to Shi Tianyu before? Didn't he keep promoting Shi Tianyu? What happened? Why did Shi Tianyu offend the emperor?

~~
Tian Ergeng realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, so he quickly covered his mouth with his hand and lowered his head to find a toilet to avoid embarrassment and to avoid too many people coming around to ask him questions.

Lu Yuan didn't dare to say anything else and ordered a banquet to be prepared to entertain Cui Chengxiu and his party.

However, he was also very disappointed with Shi Tianyu and decided not to train a person like Shi Tianyu who had no future. He also quietly told Lu Chusheng that he could no longer have any contact with Shi Tianyu, so as to avoid Shi Tianyu's future exposure and being implicated by him. When Dai Kun and Xiang Laixiang heard the news, they hurriedly ran outside and laughed loudly, their teeth showing, they were too excited and too happy.

Haha! Shi Tianyu has no future from now on, that's great!

God finally got his retribution.

No matter how hard you, Shi Gouzai, try, it's useless.

Ha ha! Cool!

~~
Xiang Laixiang then said to Dai Kun, "Master Dai, Master Lu is now the governor, you must try to please Master Lu! Master Lu is now the ladder for both of us to climb to heaven! With Master Lu's support, the two of us can kill Shi Tianyu and avenge the previous accusation by Shi Gouzai in Fucheng."

Dai Kun nodded and said, "Brother, your suggestion is good! Also, brother, take some time to go to Kyoto, bring my daughter's portrait with you, and ask Zhou Xingxing, the son of Lord Zhou from the Ministry of Personnel, to be a matchmaker to see if my daughter can catch his eye? As long as my daughter can find a prince to marry, will our future careers be bad?" Anyway, you are in an idle position now, you can go to work or not, no one cares about you, and you have me and Lord Lu to support you, so you can go to Kyoto with all the trouble."

~~
Xiang Laixiang nodded, bowed and said, "Brother Dai, I just don't have any money now. I'm so poor! How much is the round trip travel fee, food and lodging? Haha!" Dai Kun really didn't lack money now, so he smiled and said, "Go to the branch of Heheng Chain Bank to withdraw money tomorrow. I'll give you three thousand taels of silver. Is it enough? Now, Heheng Chain Bank can deposit and withdraw cash again." After that, he took out a silver note with a face value of three thousand taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into Xiang Laixiang. Xiang Laixiang was immediately very excited. He took the silver note and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, Brother Dai! Thank you! Three thousand taels of silver is enough. After I arrive in Kyoto, I will act according to the circumstances. Please rest assured."

~~
Dai Kun nodded and said, "When you arrive in Kyoto, in addition to promoting my family's ideas, you must also say more bad things about Mr. Shi. You must portray Mr. Shi as a corrupt official who took advantage of the construction of Fucheng and its jurisdiction to profit from the many projects."

Xiang Laixiang understood and nodded.

The two then returned to the hall of Lu's mansion.

~~
Shi Tianyu returned to the system space in a depressed mood and came to locker No. 08 to visit Dai Yuhuan. He informed the Dai family that Dai Yuguang and Dai Yutian had already bought a house and chosen two marriages. They were going to find daughters-in-law for the Dai family and continue the family line. Dai's father and mother were so moved that they burst into tears and thanked Shi Tianyu profusely.

Dai Yuhuan whispered again: "My husband, you see, I am pregnant and cannot serve you. Why don't you marry my elder sister and younger sister? You can let them serve you. Besides, this is also a good way to keep the wealth within the family!"

Shi Tianyu laughed and nodded.

Dai Yuhuan happily went to prepare a new house for Shi Tianyu.

That night, Shi Tianyu spent his wedding night with Dai Yuhuan's elder sister Dai Yuji and younger sister Dai Yuxiang. It was a new and enjoyable wedding night, and they had an extremely unforgettable night.

The next morning, he brought Dai's father and mother to Dai Yuguang's mansion in Fucheng, which made Dai's father and mother feel like they were in a dream.

Dai's father and mother couldn't imagine that their two sons would live in a big house in a big city, and they burst into tears again with excitement.

They all cried and thanked their three daughters, and told Shi Tianyu that they would not return to the "fairyland" for the time being and had to stay in the human world to take care of their two sons.

Anyway, in the "fairy world", there are Dai Yuji and Dai Yuxiang to take care of the pregnant Dai Yuhuan. Later, after Dai Yuhuan gives birth to the child, she can also take care of Dai Yuji and Dai Yuxiang who may be pregnant.

Shi Tianyu nodded in agreement, and then went to the government office in high spirits to handle official business.

~~
In the capital city in winter, the wind is cold and the snow is flying heavily.

In the imperial garden of the palace, the white plum blossoms are like silver carvings, jade sculptures, and snow sculptures, with icy skin and bones, pure and beautiful, transcendent, elegant and otherworldly.

Zhu Youxiao and Empress Zhang accompanied Zhu Junkai in playing with and building snowmen.

Surrounded by such a beautiful snow scene, you can enjoy the beautiful view of plum blossoms.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the beautiful woman in front of him with great interest, and chanted in a low voice: "The sharpness of a sword comes from the sharpening of a grindstone, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold."

~~
Empress Zhang seized the opportunity, took the official report collected by Feng Tianzhu and Han Chaozhen during their incognito visit to Fucheng, and mentioned Shi Tianyu, and handed the official report to Zhu Youxiao, and said with emotion: "Yes! The sharpness of a sword comes from grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Your Majesty, look at Shi Qing's family. Since he took office as the prefect of Fucheng, they have really changed a lot. Not only do they no longer know how to reshuffle bloody cards, but they have also handled the relationships between superiors and subordinates very well.

Moreover, Fucheng and the counties under it were all paved with square bricks, the drainage channels were renovated, the city walls were widened, thickened and raised, the moats were purified, four parks were built in each city, four Xingchuan schools were built in each city, and towering trees were transplanted in Fucheng and the five county towns. Now, I heard that the environment in Fucheng is better and more beautiful than that in Kyoto. Your Majesty, when can we go to Fucheng for a private visit?"

~~
Zhu Youxiao took the official newspaper from Fucheng, read it quickly, and said sadly: "Ah, I was misled by Shangguan Shu. I was wrong. I was really wrong. Shangguan Shu misled me!"

Empress Zhang continued, "Your Majesty, I heard that Fucheng was a small city that relied on local officials to force small runners and tax collectors to buy taxes themselves in order to pay taxes. However, since Shi Qingjia took over as prefect a few months ago, he has not only built three Thousand Years Temples, but also managed public security, paved streets, repaired the city, and developed water conservancy. He also raised money to grant the subordinate counties to carry out the important tasks of 'one rectification, two supervision, and three repairs'. If all the prefectures, states, and counties in the Ming Dynasty can be like Shi Qingjia, then Your Majesty can really rest assured."

~~
Zhu Youxiao was touched by Empress Zhang's words. He started talking about Shi Tianyu's political achievements and said with emotion, "Yes! When Shi Aiqing was the magistrate of Guxiang, he used clever strategies to eliminate bandits, built water conservancy projects enthusiastically, rectified the style of government officials with an iron fist, and paid taxes in full. When he became the prefect, he proposed 'one rectification, two grasping, and three repairing', and did many good things for the country and the people! Half a year ago, Lü Yuan and Dai Kun criticized Shi Aiqing, but now they have recommended Shi Aiqing many times. Not only did they recommend Shi Aiqing to concurrently serve as the prefect of Fucheng, they also praised Shi Aiqing for his outstanding political achievements and said he must be rewarded and promoted. It can be seen that Shi Aiqing is not only able to rectify the style of government officials with an iron fist, but also knows how to get along well with people from all walks of life."

~~
All the flowers are withering and the wind is biting, but the plum blossoms are like graceful fairies, floating beside the forest paths in the Imperial Garden, with a unique charm.

When Empress Zhang saw that Zhu Youxiao had gotten better at Shi Tianyu, she seized the opportunity to propose promoting Shi Tianyu to a local official, saying, "Your Majesty, now that Minister Shi's political achievements have come to light, isn't it time for him to be appointed a frontier official? Lu Yuan and other officials have already been promoted. It would be inappropriate not to give Minister Shi, who has outstanding political achievements, a promotion!" Although she did not understand why Shi Tianyu was building three Thousand Years Old Temples, she also knew that Shi Tianyu and Wei Zhongxian were not on good terms.

Therefore, Empress Zhang only wanted to improve Shi Tianyu's status and power as soon as possible and let Shi Tianyu fight against Wei Zhongxian for her.

She had long been dissatisfied with the evil deeds of Wei Zhongxian and Keshi, but her only problem was that she was a woman and could not bring them down.

Based on her understanding of Shi Tianyu's guarding of her palace, she now feels that only Shi Tianyu can compete with Wei Zhongxian and Keshi. Although Zhu Junkai's mother was poisoned by several palace maids who had committed suicide, Empress Zhang knew that it must have been done by Keshi and Wei Zhongxian. However, Zhu Youxiao had too deep feelings for Wei Zhongxian and Keshi and was too dependent on them, so Zhu Youxiao did not investigate the matter further.

Now, Feng Tianzhu and Han Chaozhen were ordered to go to Fucheng for Zhu Youxiao's secret visit, and they also spoke highly of Shi Tianyu.

~~
However, Zhu Youxiao was afraid that Shi Tianyu was really the son of Shi Feiyang, so he was hesitant and said tactfully: "Wait a minute, because I have repeatedly promoted the Shi Qing family beyond their ranks, the Shi Qing family has been suspected by the court officials. If the Shi Qing family is promoted too quickly, more court officials may report him!"

Empress Zhang remained silent, thinking about it and agreed.

The couple held Zhu Junkai's hand and walked towards the palace while enjoying the snow and flowers, escorted by many guards.
It was icy and snowy, and the cold was bone-chilling.

The lights in the Wei Mansion were bright.

Wei Zhongxian and a group of his godsons were warming themselves around a charcoal stove.

Cui Chengxiu said to Wei Zhongxian, "Dad, this little bastard surnamed Shi is still very good at keeping his promise. The three Thousand Years Ancestral Halls he built are all larger than the one built by Pan Ruzhen. He also pioneered the Thousand Years Ancestral Hall Guard Camp. Moreover, this kid is very popular among the people. No one in Fucheng opposes the construction of your ancestral hall. Your Thousand Years Ancestral Hall in Fucheng is very popular. Every day, countless people burn incense and kneel down to worship you! Your influence has been greatly improved. However, in order to win over Lu Yuan, we have to attribute Shi Tianyu's achievements to Lu Yuan."

He then reported to Wei Zhongxian what he had seen and heard in Fucheng, describing it vividly.

~~
Tian Ergeng also introduced the situation to Wei Zhongxian, bowed and said: "Dear father, Fucheng originally had to rely on the officials to buy taxes at the end of the year to pay the tax silver. The government office was so poor that it had to borrow money from the county offices to survive. After the surnamed Shi served as the prefect, he not only stopped borrowing money from the county offices, but also allocated money to the county offices. Not only did he build three golden temples for my father, but he also did many good things for the people. Now, people in Fucheng call Shi Tianyu Shi Qingtian. In addition, Shi Tianyu has contributed two million taels of silver to the Jinyiwei Office in the past two years. It's really not simple! He is really another Minister of Revenue. Princess Changxiang has a new look at Shi Tianyu. The most important thing is that Shi Tianyu's silver was not extorted, nor did it increase the burden on any people. Instead, those wealthy merchants took the initiative to donate to the Jinyiwei Office after being mobilized and persuaded by Shi Tianyu."

~~
Xu Xianchun also introduced the situation to Wei Zhongxian, bowed and said: "Dear father, Shi Tianyu is indeed a man of both civil and military talents. If he can be used by your father, he will be a brave and powerful general. It's really weird. Your father recommended Shi Tianyu to be the right councilor of Sichuan Busifu, a position without power. However, Shi Tianyu stayed in Fucheng for more than a month under the pretext of a secret visit. Dai Kun actually recommended Shi Tianyu to be the prefect concurrently? Lu Yuan also asked his son Lu Chusheng to become sworn brothers with Shi Tianyu."

~~
Seeing this, Wei Guangwei changed the subject, raised his finger to praise Wei Xueyan, bowed and said flatteringly: "Dear father, Princess Changxiang is wise. She not only proposed to promote Lü Yuan to the position of governor, but also let her uncle, Lord Feng, take charge of the Sichuan Commandery. Lü Yuan is a fence-sitter. On the surface, he controls the three Sichuan Commanderies, but in fact, it is Lord Feng who controls the three Sichuan Commanderies. Although the Commandery is only responsible for logistics, food and recruiting soldiers, and not for marching and fighting, it is different when Lord Feng is in charge of the Commandery. How many people have to try to get close to Lord Feng? It's like he holds several general positions."

~~
Gu Bingqian got angry when he mentioned Lü Yuan, and bowed to Wei Zhongxian and said, "Yes! My dear father, Lü Yuan originally relied on his father-in-law Zou Baijia to get a local position. And Zou Baijia was a disciple of Zhang Juzheng. After the death of Zhang Juzheng and Zou Baijia, Lü Yuan leaned on Ye Xianggao and his gang. Now that my dear father is in power, Lü Yuan leans on my dear father again. He is afraid that Ye Xianggao, Yang Lian and other old men will rule him, so he recommended Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang to serve as the Chief Justice and the Chief Commander, letting the "Donglin outspoken people" take charge of various powers in Sichuan. Now, Lü Yuan has been stabbed by Princess Changxiang, and he should finally wake up. In the future, we have to give Lü Yuan a warning from time to time. We can't just flatter him blindly, we have to make him bleed from time to time."

~~
Tian Ergeng handed the letter sent by Ma Zhifu which was found by the Embroidered Uniform Guard to Wei Guangwei, and then bowed to Wei Zhongxian and said, "Dear father, as soon as the three thousand-year-old ancestral halls in Fucheng were built, Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang asked someone to send a letter to the capital, asking someone to find Yang Lian and severely report Lu Yuan and Shi Tianyu." Because Wei Zhongxian was illiterate, these letters and official documents could only be read to him by Wei Guangwei.

~~
Wei Guangwei read the whole thing at a glance. He was furious and immediately asked Wei Zhongxian for instructions. He bowed and said, "Dear father, I and others have promoted Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang in public, but in fact we have taken away their power over the criminal and military affairs. Now we can let Lu Yuan punish them as he pleases. Although Ma Zhifu is the new Sichuan Busi, the people in Busi's mansion were all promoted by Lu Yuan. Now that Lu Yuan is in charge of the personnel power in Sichuan, he can punish Ma Zhifu."

~~
Before Wei Zhongxian could speak, Xu Li, the chief academician of the Imperial College, offered him a vicious plan, saying, "Dear father, you don't need to show up this time. Ma Zhifu's letter will be delivered to Yang Lian. Yang Lian will definitely incite Gao Panlong and Zuo Guangdou, the Donglin outspoken men, to join in the investigation of Lü Yuan and Shi Tianyu. Lü Yuan and Shi Tianyu will definitely start a war with Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang."

~~
Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "Yes! Sichuan has been rich since ancient times and is known as the granary of the world. Those who want to conquer the world must first conquer Sichuan. Li'er said it well. In this way, people in the court and the public will not be able to tell that it was Dad who made Ma Zhifu rich and Gao Yingqiang fall from power. When the time comes, I will select two people from the relatives and friends of the children to take charge of the financial and criminal powers in Sichuan. Then, Sichuan will be Dad's world."

In this way, Xu Li's strategy was fully affirmed.

Xu Li immediately smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

~~
Cui Chengxiu was unwilling to be outdone and was even more vicious than Xu Li. He bowed and said to Wei Zhongxian, "My dear father, Lord Xu is resourceful and resourceful. Fucheng is becoming rich again. Why not let Lord Xu go to Fucheng to be the prefect? ​​Then you can reduce his taxes and let him pay the extra money directly to your father." He wanted to promote Xu Li, but at the same time he did not forget to flatter Wei Zhongxian.

~~
Wei Guangwei, however, had an even more radical idea. As expected of the Prime Minister and Minister of Revenue, he also offered a vicious plan, saying, "Dear father, I got a clue from Shi Tianyu's establishment of the Qiansui Temple Guard Battalion. Since we can establish the Fucheng Qiansui Temple Guard Battalion, why can't we establish the Chuanzhong Qiansui Temple Preparatory Bureau?"

Cui Chengxiu rolled his eyes at Wei Guangwei, and quickly competed with Wei Guangwei in viciousness. He also offered a plan to Wei Zhongxian, bowing and saying, "Right! My dear father, you can ask Lü Yuan to set up the Sichuan Thousand Years Temple Construction Bureau, with the specifications of the fourth rank, and send Lord Xu as the ambassador of the Construction Bureau to unify the construction of the Thousand Years Temple in various prefectures and states. As for the silver and the site selection, Lü Yuan will come forward to hand it over to each prefecture and state, and ask each prefecture and state to hand over at least 100,000 taels of silver and 5,000 square meters of Feng Shui treasure land to the Construction Bureau."

He was afraid that Wei Zhongxian would look down on him because he was not vicious enough.

~~
Tian Ergeng clapped his hands in approval and said, "Great! This way we can build ten golden statues of my father at the same time, and they can all be built on a Feng Shui treasure land. When the time comes, more than ten golden statues of my father will be completed at the same time and there will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The momentum will be even more magnificent than the ascension of His Majesty! Also, let Lord Feng also plan to build a golden statue of my father in the Sichuan Army, so as to drive the troops of the world to follow suit. In the future, will the provinces and court departments dare not follow suit and build a golden statue of my father? In the future, won't the military power of the world fall into the hands of my father?" He repaired Cui Chengxiu's vicious plan, which seemed more perfect, and thought proudly: Who in the world can be more vicious than me?

~~
What Wei Zhongxian wants most now is military power.

So Wei Zhongxian nodded and said, "Well! Okay! Children, it's up to you now."

After saying that, he burst into laughter again, secretly saying "cool" hundreds of times in his heart.

Seeing that Wei Zhongxian seemed tired, Cui Chengxiu and others knelt down to say goodbye, then put on thick coats, wrapped their whole bodies, leaving only their eyes exposed to look around, and then sneaked out of the palace, fearing that they would be caught by the upright officials of the court.

~~
There was a strong wind and snow, the air was cold and the snowflakes were dancing.

Chengdu.

The plum blossoms in the front yard of the Governor's Mansion were beautiful, colorful and fragrant. Lü Yuan was unwilling to move out of the Bushi Mansion, so he changed the Bushi Mansion into the Governor's Mansion and let Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang temporarily work in the Ancha Mansion.

Because Feng Zhenting has been appointed as the commander-in-chief, he has to act as the deputy commander in the commander-in-chief. Lu Yuan has no money to build a new Busi Mansion for the time being, and he is still a little distressed. He promised to build ten thousand-year-old temples before the first half of next year. Where can he get so much money? He wants to use Shi Tianyu, but Tian Ergeng said that Shi Tianyu has been sentenced to death by the little emperor and has no future.

Therefore, Lu Yuan did not dare to use Shi Tianyu, and could only do things that offended Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang. How could Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang not be angry when the two offices were combined? They must be very angry.

Even if Lu Yuan used his butt to think, he could imagine how angry Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang were now.

~~
Dai Mansion.

Dai Ruyi strolled in the courtyard with her big belly. She didn't feel the cold at all. Her heart was filled with joy of becoming a mother.

A while ago, Dai Ruyi avoided seeing Lu Chusheng. Besides not wanting to see Lu Chusheng, the most important reason was that she was pregnant with Shi Tianyu's child. Then, she avoided seeing Dai Kun again.

Dai Kun is also busy every day. After all, he occupies the most lucrative position in the Salt Transport Commissioner's Office. How many people come to visit him every day? How many people come to give him gifts? It's really busy.

Han Fenghuang naturally knew about this, so she was so anxious to send Dai Yue to Fucheng to find Shi Tianyu, but Dai Kun threatened her with death. She had no choice but to cut off contact with Shi Tianyu.

Dai Ruyi waited until her belly grew bigger before meeting Dai Kun, in order to force Dai Kun to agree to her marrying Shi Tianyu.

However, no matter how angry Dai Kun was, he refused to let Dai Ruyi marry Shi Tianyu. He even said that he could give birth to the child and let the child have the surname Dai, but he would not agree to let Dai Ruyi marry Shi Tianyu under any circumstances.

Otherwise, he would sever the father-daughter relationship with Dai Ruyi and let Master Hei Ku expel Dai Ruyi from the sect, leaving Dai Ruyi homeless and without a master.

Really cruel.

~~
Dai Ruyi is already pregnant, where else can she go?
She was originally the daughter of Lord Dai, a delicate and wealthy lady, but she couldn't make a living? She might not even beg for food, so where else could she go?

Oh! It's painful!

~~
At the beginning, Dai Ruyi burst into tears and was in great pain, but Han Fenghuang advised Dai Ruyi that the most important thing was to keep the baby in her belly healthy, and nothing else mattered, and she should not let her emotions affect the baby in her belly.

No matter what this child’s surname will be in the future?
The most important thing is that this child is the fruit of your love with Shi Tianyu.

~~
In this way, Dai Ruyi regained her emotional stability and was able to rest assured and take care of her pregnancy.

But my longing for Shi Tianyu is growing day by day.

I've been thinking about seeing Shi Tianyu all day long.

But where can I go with a big belly?
I can’t stand the bumpy ride on horseback.

~~
Shi Tianyu is the prefect of Fucheng, and he has the responsibility to defend the territory. He cannot leave Fucheng casually. He is also incompatible with Dai Kun and others, so it is not convenient for him to run to Dai's house in Chengdu. More importantly, Shi Tianyu now has three thousand-year-old temples to protect.

Difficult!

~~
At this moment, Dai Ruyi suddenly saw Lu Yuan coming with a group of people to visit Dai Kun, so he quickly hid under the plum blossoms.

Because Lu Yuan became the governor, he was happy and excited for a few days. After a few days, he received a lot of intelligence reports saying that Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang were making trouble behind the scenes, and they even sent people to send letters to Kyoto to impeach Lu Yuan and Shi Tianyu.

This made Lu Yuan very depressed, so he came to Dai Kun to chat and relieve his boredom.

In the grand hall of Dai Mansion.

Xiang Laixiang was like the general manager of the Dai Mansion. Every day after returning from official business, the first thing she would do was to go to the Dai Mansion to serve Dai Kun.

Seeing Lu Yuan coming, he personally served tea and water and gave him a seat.

Then, Xiang Laixiang loudly complimented Lu Yuan, bowed and said: "Lord Lu, this time the court officials came to Sichuan to visit the Qiansui Temple, and the people praised Lord Lu for his great reputation! If it weren't for Lord Lu's great reputation, why would the court send the cabinet chief Wei to Sichuan? The Minister of War, Lord Cui, and the Minister of Personnel, Lord Zhou, are so busy with official duties! But these court officials have come to Sichuan. It's great!"

Outdoor garden.

Dai Ruyi was startled when he heard this and stopped involuntarily.

~~
Indoor hall.

Dai Kun also complimented Lu Yuan and said, "Yes! Brother Lu, you have great reputation. Even Cui Chengxiu and Wei Guangwei have to give you face and come all the way to Sichuan!" Although he and Lu Yuan had some unpleasantness in the past, they had joined forces and cooperated in officialdom, and they had to join forces and cooperate.

An Ziwu then analyzed the underlying reasons and bowed, saying, "Of course, Lord Lu proposed 'one rectification, two grasping, and three repairing' and carried out a pilot project in Fucheng. In less than half a year, his achievements were outstanding. How could the court officials not give Lord Lu face?"

In the end, it all comes down to flattery and flattery.

However, good words are pleasant to the ears and make Lu Yuan happy.

At this time, Lu Yuan felt much better.

~~
Outdoor garden.

Dai Ruyi listened to the discussion of Dai Kun, Xiang Laixiang, and An Ziwu, and felt sad. She thought: Wasn't it my husband Shi who first proposed the "one correct, two arrest, three repair"? Why is the credit now attributed to Lu Yuan?
Alas, my husband Shi is so unlucky, he is always being plotted against!
~~
Indoor hall.

Dai Kun seized the opportunity and saw that Lu Yuan was happy and excited, so he said to Lu Yuan: "Brother Lu, Lord Xiang is not doing well in the Censorate, and Tian Lufeng has also been misbehaving since he was transferred to the Salt Transport Office. Should we ask them to move to other positions?"

I still want to transfer Xiang Laixiang, my good brother and ally who has shared weal and woe with me, to the Duyan Transport Bureau to work together.

When I was in Fucheng, I received a lot of bribes from Xiang Laixiang. Now I have to take good care of Xiang Laixiang.

~~
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Dai, I will agree to all your recommendations. Please draw up a list."

He nodded, thinking that he was now in charge of the three departments and was in charge of promoting officials and personnel, so there was no need for the three departments to hold meetings anymore.

Suddenly I felt very comfortable. Although I failed to achieve the goal of being the governor of several provinces, it was still quite impressive to be the King of Sichuan. Since Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang were making trouble and forming cliques behind the scenes, then Lv had to form cliques and strengthen his power!

~~
Xiang Lai was very clever and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Yuan. He then lay on the ground and said, "Thank you, Lord Lu, for your support. I will never forget your kindness and virtue."

What Lu Yuan said just now meant that Xiang Laixiang would be able to be promoted to the fourth-rank official rank next.

Dai Kun hurriedly helped Xiang Laixiang up for Lu Yuan and revealed some information to Lu Yuan.

Because Dai Kun was in control of the Sichuan Salt Gang and was well-informed, he whispered, "Brother Lu, I heard that Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang wrote to the court about the construction of the Thousand Years Temple, and asked Yang Lian to report it to you and Shi Tianyu."

~~
Lu Yuan was startled, then suddenly laughed out loud, saying, "Gao Yingqiang has been stripped of his military power, and Ma Zhifu is only a cloth official. They are nothing!" An Ziwu took the lead in comforting Lu Yuan, bowing and saying, "Lord Lu, no matter what happens in the future, we will jointly recommend you." Xiang Laixiang said it with a firm voice, kneeling in front of Lu Yuan, lying on the ground and saying, "Lord Lu, I am your man in life and your ghost in death. If you need me to do something, please tell me, I will die without regrets and will willingly go through fire and water for you."

Dai Kun helped Lu Yuan to stand up Xiang Laixiang, and also showed his loyalty. He bowed to Lu Yuan and said, "Brother Lu, I won't say anything. Everything depends on action. We have been colleagues for decades, so we should share happiness and difficulties. I have never lost my Nine Continents Staff Skills."

Although he said it implicitly, it also revealed the courage to live and die for Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan nodded, thinking to himself that as a governor, what did he have to be afraid of?

The room suddenly became quiet.
