Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Dai Ruyi felt a chill in his heart and trembled all over when he heard what Dai Kun said. He thought to himself: Dad's plan is so vicious! He not only guaranteed Xiang Laixiang's release from prison, but also guaranteed her continued promotion. Isn't that deliberately embarrassing my Shi Lang?

Hey! How could Dad be so vicious? He looked as thin as a piece of dead wood. It turned out that he was so thin because he was thinking of a vicious plan.

Indoor hall.

Dai Kun thought about Cui Chengxiu's secret order again, and asked Lu Yuan: "Brother Lu, how should we proceed with the construction of the Thousand-Year-Old Temple in Sichuan? The financial resources in Sichuan are far from enough! If we build too many Thousand-Year-Old Temples, it will definitely cause opposition from the people. This year, there was a severe drought in the northwest. The people had no harvest, and they sold their children and exchanged their children for food. People were displaced and many cities became empty cities and ghost towns.

Many ordinary people have already moved to the southwest.

A large number of beggars have appeared here. It is estimated that except for the Fucheng area, there are a large number of beggars in other prefectures, states and counties. It is said that the remnants of the Mahayana sect are secretly absorbing a large number of beggars, and the Beggars' Gang is also secretly absorbing a large number of beggars.

Even if we build ten thousand-year-old temples, we can't protect them! Won't the common people destroy the thousand-year-old temples? Won't they dig gold out of the nine-thousand-year-old golden body? Can Shi Tianyu's thousand-year-old temple guard battalion protect so many thousand-year-old temples? Do they have so much money and food to support the thousand-year-old temple guard battalion for a long time?"

~~
Since Lu Yuan heard the news that Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang had severely reported him, he naturally did not dare to rashly promote the construction of the Thousand Years Old Temple. He thought that this was a good thing. With the help of Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang's severe reports on him, he would not have to promote the construction of the Thousand Years Old Temple.

So Lu Yuan said, "Take your time. If Yang Lian criticizes me for wasting money and resources to build the Thousand Years Temple, I don't know how to deal with it. After all, there are not many officials in the world who are willing to build Thousand Years Temples. Let's talk about it later.

"Before, the promises I made to Cui Chengxiu were nothing more than polite words. You don't have to take them to heart. Now, Nurhaci is about to reach Shanhaiguan. We don't know what the emperor is thinking. So, you should keep your official hats first. In the future, if the court is in trouble, you may have to go to the battlefield!"

~~
An Ziwu hurriedly persuaded Lu Yuan, saying: "Lord Lu, if you promote the construction of the Thousand Years Temple throughout Sichuan, the Nine Thousand Years will definitely treat you differently. With the Nine Thousand Years backing you up, who in the court can rival you?"

After analyzing it, I feel that there is nothing terrible about it.

Most importantly, An Ziwu also wanted to gain an opportunity for promotion by promoting the construction of the Qiansui Temple.

In this life, I can't just serve Lu Yuan all day long!

~~
Lu Yuan shook his head and said, "I used to be a palace guard. The palace is like a sea of ​​grievances, and many things are unpredictable. There is no need to think too far ahead. In the officialdom, there are very few people who can never be tumbled. From ancient times to the present, there are only a few such people. Those who are in great glory today may not be so glorious in the future. They may even be imprisoned or their families exterminated. Only mediocre officials can live long. Iron-fisted officials like Shi Tianyu may one day end up like Shang Yang, being torn to pieces by a chariot."

~~
Seeing that Lu Yuan was about to back down after becoming the governor, all the officials were very anxious.

Now, Lu Yuan has been promoted, but his group of people have not been promoted yet!

Who would be convinced?
However, in his anxiety, Dai Kun suddenly came up with a vicious plan and bowed to Lu Yuan and said, "Brother Lu, Shi Tianyu is now creating the Qiansui Temple Guard Camp. Why not upgrade the Qiansui Temple Guard Camp to an institution like the Sichuan Qiansui Temple Preparatory Bureau? The Qiansui Temple Preparatory Bureau can be set as the second rank, and Shi Tianyu can be appointed as the director of the Sichuan Qiansui Temple Preparatory Bureau.

Isn't Shi Tianyu the prefect of Fucheng with a second-rank official title? Let's give him a second-rank official title, let Shi Tianyu unify the construction of the Qiansui Temple in various prefectures and states in Sichuan, and let him fight to the death with Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang.

Brother Lu, think about it, after Shi Tianyu takes up the post of Director of the Qiansui Temple Construction Bureau, he must raise grain and funds.

Ma Zhifu is a cloth merchant, so he also has to raise grain and funds, otherwise, he will not be able to complete the tax task next year!
Now, apart from the Fucheng area, where else can we raise money and grain?

All the money and grain have been raised by Shi Tianyu. How can Ma Zhifu complete the tax collection task?

In this way, we can sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the tigers.

Besides, if Shi Tianyu builds ten thousand-year-old temples, then the achievement will belong to Brother Lu. If Shi Tianyu fails to build ten thousand-year-old temples, then the responsibility will be borne by Shi Tianyu alone. Anyway, Shi Tianyu is our scapegoat. "

~~
Hahahaha!

A bunch of treacherous people burst into laughter, praising Dai Kun for his good strategy. He was worthy of being the prefect for eight years. He was amazing! He was so talented! He was really the chief military advisor of the governor's office!

~~
Xiang Laixiang echoed and praised: "Lord Dai is really far-sighted and far-sighted! What a good plan! Build a thousand-year-old temple in Sichuan, and the nine-thousand-year-old will immediately promote Lord Lu to governor. If ten thousand-year-old temples can be built at the same time, then Lord Lu will at least be the prince's guardian!"

~~
Outdoor garden.

Dai Ruyi was furious when she heard these vicious plots. She burst into tears and was worried about Shi Tianyu's fate. She cursed Dai Kun secretly: "Dad, are you still a human being? You take the credit for the merits and push the blame for the mistakes. Hey, why am I so unlucky to have a dad like you?"

~~
Indoor hall.

Lü Yuan was in a high position and had a far-sighted vision. He felt that he should cherish the position of governor in front of him and did not want to deal with too many matters that were not related to his official position. He smiled and said, "Let's first see how Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang, and Yang Lian reported me behind my back this time. If the Ninth Prince can settle this matter, I will do so. Otherwise, there is no need to wade into this muddy water."

Upon seeing this, Dai Kun cleverly changed the subject and said, "Brother Lu, let's discuss this matter later. Look, here is the list of candidates, please recommend them to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel." He seemed not to dare to mention Shi Tianyu anymore, and took out the list of candidates to be promoted and handed it to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan readily agreed and said with a smile: "Ziwu, the four treasures of the study are at your service. I agree with everything. You should report this document to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue via an express route of eight hundred miles." He then picked up his pen, signed his name, and submitted it to the various departments in Kyoto.

~~
Outdoor garden.

Dai Ruyi raised her sleeves, wiped away her sad tears, and said to herself with emotion: Oh! I hope Dad won't give me those bad ideas again.

Hearing the laughter of Xiang Laixiang and others coming from the room, and the sound of the door opening, Dai Ruyi hurriedly hid behind a plum tree again.

~~
As An Ziwu walked out, he complimented Dai Kun and laughed, "Master Dai, this is a brilliant idea. After Master Xiang is promoted, Shi Tianyu will lose face, and his prestige in Fucheng will plummet!"

These words were like a needle piercing Dai Ruyi's heart.

~~
Dai Ruyi saw Lü Yuan, An Ziwu and others walking away, and couldn't help thinking: Hasn't An Ziwu always had a good relationship with my Shi Lang? Why would he flatter my father like this? Is it because Lü Yuan is nice to my father again?
This old turtle is such a piece of shit!
~~
However, at this time, Xiang Laixiang's voice came from afar: "How can that little dog surnamed Shi be a match for Lord Dai? Lord Dai is far-sighted, while that little dog surnamed Shi is short-sighted. When our people are promoted, that little dog surnamed Shi will not only lose face, but it will also be difficult for him to stay in Fucheng. Lord An, by then, all three tax offices in Fucheng will fall into the hands of our people. How can that little bastard surnamed Shi complete the tax task assigned by the court? Haha!"

Xiang Laixiang's laughter was full of triumph, like a heavy hammer, hitting Dai Ruyi's head hard.

~~
Dai Ruyi was very sad, and was even worried that Shi Tianyu would be killed by Dai Kun, Xiang Laixiang and others. He thought to himself: Dad, why do you still want to harm my Shi Lang? He has nothing to do with you. You are the Salt Commissioner, and he is the prefect of Fucheng. Hey!

Hearing the footsteps gradually fading away, he stumbled back to his room.

~~
Snowflakes are flying and the cold wind is howling.

However, in the system space, it is warm as spring.

The green mountains, green lakes and rippling blue waves create a picturesque scenery.

In the side room of the No. 08 courtyard of Locker No. 1, Shi Tianyu has been sleeping with Dai Yuji and Dai Yuxiang in his arms every night recently, enjoying the blessing of having two wives. This morning, after getting up, Dai Yuhuan came to help Shi Tianyu bathe and change clothes, and asked Shi Tianyu if he could let Dai Yuji and Dai Yuxiang go to the human world to see?

Can my sister and my younger sister go to see the big house of the brothers Dai Yuguang and Dai Yutian?

~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said yes, isn't this human nature?
After saying that, he flew out with Dai Yuji and Dai Yuxiang in his arms, and came to the backyard of Dai Mansion in the center of Fucheng. He let go of the two sisters, raised the middle finger of his left hand, reached out and took out two boxes of large silver ingots from the big vault in the big garden of the system space.

Then he said in a loud voice: "Dai Yugang, come out, your two sisters are here to see you."

~~
Dai Yuguang ran out upon hearing the sound and hugged his two sisters excitedly.

Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "Give one of these two boxes of silver ingots to Dai Yutian. Your two sisters should come back to visit their parents, so you should make them look good. Also, when you are free, go to the street and pick a few maids. Go back to the fairyland with me at night to serve your three sisters. Choose pretty maids between the ages of fourteen and sixteen. Maids over seventeen will be rejected. Maids must be over one meter sixty-six in height."

"Yes!" Dai Yugang separated his two sisters, bowed and responded to the order, then picked up two boxes of large silver ingots, walked through the backyard and returned to the hall.

Shi Tianyu went out from the back door, took a detour and walked to the government office to handle official business.

~~
Chengdu.

Inside the Censorate’s Office.

Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang, Hong Liansu, Tian Lufeng, Yuan Weiqing and others were also not idle. They were sitting around the charcoal stove, discussing how to report Lu Yuanyi and how to deal with the matter of Shi Tianyu building a Thousand Years Temple.

When Shi Tianyu was building the Thousand Years Temple, Ma Zhifu and others did not stop him. However, now they want to report Shi Tianyu to the court and the emperor because they see that building the Thousand Years Temple itself is a huge trap.

Then, we have to use this trap to bury Shi Tianyu alive.

This is how it is in the officialdom, there are conspiracies everywhere, and every step is a trap. If you are not careful, you will be plotted against by your colleagues. There are no brothers or friends at all. It is the same everywhere, there are only interests and power struggles.

~~
Gao Yingqiang said to Ma Zhifu, "Sir, we have all been used by that little bastard named Shi. You were kind enough to help him deal with Cheng Xiuzhu's corruption and bribery, but I didn't expect Shi Tianyu to build three thousand-year-old temples. I also didn't expect Shi Tianyu to be such a despicable villain who fawned on the eunuch Wei Zhongxian. This time, we must kill Shi Tianyu and make him never stand up again. Let him die with regrets."

~~
Yuan Weiqing was very confused and said, "But Shi Tianyu rectified the official style, repaired the city, paved the streets, developed water conservancy, cleaned the city river, built parks, set up schools, and built roads. He also did a lot of practical things for the common people! There was no incident like the one in Jiangnan where the Wei Yan ancestral temple was smashed in the territory of Fucheng. The people in Fucheng still praised Shi Tianyu as Shi Qingtian!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped by Gao Yingqiang.

~~
Snapped!
Gao Yingqiang then angrily scolded Yuan Weiqing: "Bah, you bastard, you really don't know what's good for you! What do you know? Do you think that because Lü Yuan likes the surname Shi, you are afraid of the surname Shi? The surname Shi did those practical things, in fact, to cover up his shameful behavior of building a shrine for Wei Yan. Don't you even understand this superficial truth?
Nowadays, our Ming Dynasty is facing internal and external troubles, and the Ministry of Revenue has no money at all. It can't even solve the problem of silver wages and food for the soldiers in Liaodong. In Liaodong, cities and lands are lost every day, and the people are displaced. The soldiers are also living in dire straits.

But what about Shi Tianyu?
This bastard who has a life but no one to support him, has gone against his conscience and raised money and grain to build a shrine for a eunuch, wasting money and manpower. This is absurd. This is digging into the Ming Dynasty, do you understand? Shi Tianyu is a complete traitor, and he will definitely be infamous as Qin Hui in the future. He is the incarnation of Dong Zhuo, the descendant of Lu Bu, and a typical slave of three surnames. "

Scold Shi Tianyu as worthless.

~~
Yuan Weiqing screamed, covered his face with his hands, and lowered his head with tears in his eyes.

Tian Lufeng also lowered his head and dared not say a word, but he was also very confused.

He is very good at catching thieves, but I don’t understand the officialdom.

It feels like every official is elusive.

~~
In order to win people's hearts, Ma Zhifu hurriedly played the role of a good guy and a righteous person, and persuaded: "Okay, Mr. Gao, Weiqing is young and ignorant, just explain the truth to him."

Yuan Weiqing looked at Ma Zhifu gratefully, then lowered his head and covered his face with his hands.

~~
Ma Zhifu said again: "I wonder if Lord Yang Lian of the court has received Ma's memorial? Alas! I didn't expect that Lu Yuan would now support Shi's dog boy so vigorously, and even said that he would let all prefectures and states in Sichuan learn from Fucheng, and planned to build ten ancestral temples for Wei Yan. It's really despicable and shameless. In order to build the ancestral temple, Lu the old thief even promised Cui Chengxiu to increase taxes on the people in Sichuan after the Spring Festival.

This old thief Lu is really a piece of shit, he has no sense of shame at all, for his own career, he doesn't care about the lives of the people, making us who wear official hats ashamed to face others. "

He looks like he is concerned about the world, looks very honest, and looks strong and upright.

Of course, he also remembered that Lu Yuan had recommended him for the post of Chief Justice, and thought that Lu Yuan was still indebted to him. However, for the sake of the factional dispute, he had no choice but to kill Lu Yuan.

Ma Zhifu couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

Now, he is about to face off against Lu Yuan in a life-and-death battle.

~~
Gao Yingqiang stood up angrily and said, "Master Ma, don't be sentimental. When Lu Yuan recommended us for promotion, he just wanted us to serve him. But Lu old thief surrendered to the eunuch thief and regarded the eunuch as his father. Isn't it shameful? Lu old thief is more than ten years older than Wei Zhongxian! Humph! If we don't get rid of such a despicable villain like Lu old thief, how can there be a clean land in Sichuan?"

~~
Hong Liansu also said angrily: "Damn it, Wei Zhongxian now lets his brother-in-law be the commander-in-chief. Let's tear down Wei Zhongxian's foundation first and start with Shi Tianyu. As far as I know, when Shi Tianyu was building a new county government in Guxiang, he took kickbacks from my adopted son Zhuoyue for the project funds. I asked Zhuoyue to report Shi Tianyu. Just based on this, he can be executed."

This man has had a grudge against Shi Tianyu for more than a year or two. When he was in southern Shandong, he fought with Shi Tianyu several times. However, he was beaten by Shi Tianyu every time, and was defeated by Shi Tianyu every time.

It is not easy to avenge this, but it is not that I don’t want to do it, it’s just that the time has not come yet.

Now, the opportunity has come.

So, Hong Liansu reported Shi Tianyu for corruption and bribery.

~~
Ma Zhifu, Gao Yingqiang, Tian Lufeng and the others' eyes lit up immediately, and they were very excited. They said in unison: "Then please ask General Hong to quickly invite Zhuo Yue to Chengdu. Damn it, Shi is doomed this time."

~~
Yuan Weiqing originally admired Shi Tianyu very much.

But after hearing this, he collapsed in his heart, and helplessly added insult to injury, saying: "Now it seems that the streets of Fucheng and its subordinate counties are paved with square bricks, the city walls are widened, thickened and raised, ancestral temples are built, moats are cleaned, towering trees are transplanted for planting, and parks are built. These are all big projects! And Shi Tianyu handed all these projects to Zhuoyue. If he really took kickbacks, how much kickbacks would he get for throwing these two million taels of silver? Zhuoyue is guilty of death, and Shi Tianyu is also guilty of death!"

It's really true that if he keeps silent, it's fine. But once he opens his mouth, he will make a big splash!

~~
"This?!" Hong Liansu actually regretted it after he said this.

I thought to myself: I am such a bad person. If I let Zhuoyue report Shi Tianyu, wouldn’t that mean Zhuoyue will also be sent to jail and spend the rest of his life there?

Did Hong also accept a lot of money from the Zhuo family?

If Zhuo Yue is arrested by Gao Yingqiang, the new Chief Justice, and cannot withstand Gao Yingqiang's torture, and implicates Hong, then won't Hong and his family have to spend the rest of their lives in prison?
Hey! Look at my stinky mouth! What am I doing following Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang? Isn't this just courting death? Hey!
Besides, when Hong led his troops to Guxiang County last time to break Fang Zhiqiang's leg and helped Shi Tianyu launch a tax crackdown, Hong also took Fang Zhiqiang's money!

Oh my god! This Shi guy seems to have planned everything in advance!
~~
If it wasn't in front of everyone, Hong Liansu would have stamped his feet and beat his chest. He really wanted to slap himself twice and curse his own stinky mouth.

~~
Gao Yingqiang felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw in the vast ocean. He was also a new official who had just been promoted to the position of Chief Justice! He had to start the first fire!
Otherwise, how can you have any prestige?

~~
So Gao Yingqiang said firmly: "What's this and that? General Hong, quickly send someone to find Zhuo Yue. The court has Lord Yang who is investigating Shi Tianyu and the old thief Lu, and in Sichuan we have reported the bastard surnamed Shi. This time, we will definitely kill the bastard surnamed Shi and bring down the old thief Lu. Damn it, the dog-head guillotine of the Criminal Investigation Department must be stained with blood!"

~~
After all, he is an old bureaucrat who has seen countless people. Ma Zhifu has seen some clues from Hong Liansu's surprise, so he said, "Well, even if Zhuoyue reports it, it's useless. Shi's dog boy has always been smart. Last time, Lu Yuan and Dai Kun teamed up to report Shi Tianyu's fake household registration, but they didn't bring him down. This time, we can't act rashly! We have to think things through, so that we don't fail to kill Shi's dog boy and hurt our own people. Let's wait a while."

He thought to himself: Hong Liansu is one of our Donglin traitors after all. If the case is investigated further, Hong Liansu will also fall. It is rare for us Donglin traitors to have a general who can lead troops to fight. We cannot let Hong Liansu be killed.

In today's world, if you don't have military power, even your fart won't make a sound.

Think about it, when Lord Xiong Tingbi was alive, we Donglin people were very powerful. Now, some were captured by Wei Yan, some were killed by Wei Yan, and our Donglin people are on their twilight years.

Eh!
~~
Hong Liansu said hurriedly: "Master Ma is right."

He praised Ma Zhifu highly and then wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

I was so frightened by Gao Yingqiang that I almost fell to my knees.

Now, Hong Liansu's legs are still weak and trembling.

~~
"Oh!" Gao Yingqiang sighed heavily. He immediately understood what Ma Zhifu and Hong Liansu meant and had nothing to say.

Yuan Weiqing had just been beaten and now wanted to make amends.

So he offered a vicious plan, saying, "Why not inform the people in the underworld and secretly demolish the three Thousand Years Temples in Fucheng? As long as the Thousand Years Temples are demolished, then Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch thief, will definitely shed tears and execute Ma Su. How humiliating it would be! How can the son of a bitch surnamed Shi survive?"

~~
Ma Zhifu suddenly understood and said happily: "Oh! This is a good idea! Weiqing, you are good and very smart."

They were immediately delighted and clapped their hands in applause.

~~
Gao Yingqiang was also amazed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "Yes! The Shi family has a deep hatred for the people in the underworld, and this is a scandal known to all. Captain Tian, ​​Weiqing, you two should immediately contact some people in the underworld in secret and ask for high-ranking martial artists to go to Fucheng to do a few things and start a few fires. In this way, we can also investigate Shi Tianyu's dereliction of duty. Oh, Weiqing is really great, both civil and military, extremely intelligent, and well-planned. Not bad, not bad! Good job!"

He immediately smiled and praised Yuan Weiqing a few words.

~~
Tian Lufeng was unwilling to be left behind, so he offered a more vicious plan. He clasped his hands, bowed, and said, "My Lords, why don't we do it in two ways? We will first inform the people in the martial arts world in secret, and when the messenger reports back to Lord Yang about Shi Tianyu's involvement, we will have the people in the martial arts world go to Sichuan to act at the same time. For example, we can have some of them attack the county government office in Fucheng, lure away Shi Tianyu's trusted guards in Fucheng, and then launch a large-scale attack on the three Qiansui Temples in Fucheng. No matter how good Shi Tianyu's martial arts are, it is impossible for him to take care of everything at once.

In this way, we can destroy the three Qiansui Temples at the same time. Then, we can lead the people of the escort agency to smash the golden statues of the Qiansui Temples, load the gold, silver and jewelry onto a truck and transport it back to Chengdu, and hand it over to the Bushi Mansion as tax revenue to be deposited in the treasury. Isn't that better?"

~~
Haha!

Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang laughed excitedly, saying "good" and pointing to Tian Lufeng, saying that he was indeed the best detective in Sichuan, and that he was both brave and resourceful. Tian Lufeng laughed so hard that his teeth were visible.

~~
Seeing this, Hong Liansu also said: "No matter what happens in Fucheng, I will order all my subordinates to stay put and ensure the safety of the people in the martial arts world." Seeing that they no longer mentioned the matter of Zhuo Yue, he also became more confident.

Ma Zhifu said, "Okay! Lu Feng, you and Weiqing will contact the people in the martial arts world immediately. When the messenger returns to Sichuan, we will use Lu Yuan and Dai Kun's trick to spread the news that Lord Yang participated in Shi Tianyu's murder. At the same time, we will have the people in the martial arts world take action immediately. This time, we must take down the head of that little bastard named Shi."

"Yes!" Tian Lufeng and Yuan Weiqing bowed and left.

~~
Although the winter sun shines brightly, it still cannot block the slight chill.

A cold wind blew, blowing up the dead leaves on the ground, making them spin like feathers in front of the gate of the Fucheng government office.

No matter what others think or how others see him, Shi Tianyu now only wants to be a good prefect of Fucheng. Since there is no hope of promotion, he might as well do something practical for the people of Fucheng.

What Tian Ergeng said to Lu Yuan, "Shi Tianyu has been sentenced to death by His Majesty and has no future," had not only reached the ears of officials at all levels in Sichuan, but also reached the ears of Shi Tianyu.

Because Shi Tianyu also had a stake in the Tiandihui founded by Helan Minyue, he was well-informed.

On that day, Shi Tianyu moved Hua Qiuxing, Hua Dongfeng, Lu Weiting, Lu Jian and the disciples of the Yunlong Gang from the system space to the ruins of the former dilapidated stone mansion of the Fucheng government office to assemble and line up.

Then, Shi Tianyu summoned the county chiefs and government officials to the court. He ordered some small tables to be set up in the court, and ordered people to serve good tea. After drinking tea for a while, Shi Tianyu said: "My colleagues, no matter what the court and the public think of my important tasks and the construction of three thousand-year-old temples, I have to give you fair rewards. You have worked hard in the past six months."

How could the melancholy of the county chiefs and government officials be hidden from Shi Tianyu's sharp eyes? The Spring Festival was approaching, and if they wanted to make new achievements in the new year, they had to reward the past achievements.

Otherwise, who would be willing to work for Shi Tianyu?
~~
Peng Jinshi, Yao Chaohai, Dai Yuguang, Dai Yutian and others led the constables, removed the small tables and chairs in the court at the appropriate time, poured out the tea, and led Hua Qiuxing, Hua Dongfeng, Lu Weiting, Lu Jian and others to the court.

The county magistrates and the constables and runners of the government office stood on both sides of the prefect's desk in the court, listening quietly to Shi Tianyu's speech.

Although Shi Tianyu has become much friendlier than when he was the magistrate of Guxiang County, these people are still in awe of him.

After all, Shi Tianyu had political achievements before and a reputation for iron fist. In between, there were the deaths of Wu Zhengdao and Cheng Xiuzhu, and Xiang Laixiang was expelled from Fucheng. The county chiefs were not stupid, and they all knew that Shi Tianyu was ruthless.

~~
Shi Tianyu said with a smile, "During the important task of "One Correct, Two Grasps, Three Improvements", the county chiefs did not leave their posts without permission, and all colleagues in the government office were able to stick to their posts. I will never forget your hard work in the front line of "One Correct, Two Grasps, Three Improvements". Su Xing, Xu Huan, He Sihai, you should take notes and report the names of the people who were commended and promoted and their deeds to the governor's office and the Ministry of Personnel afterwards."

He Sihai, Su Xing, Xu Huan and others hurriedly sat down at the desk, picked up their pens and dipped them in ink, memorizing every word of Shi Tianyu.

Shi Tianyu then continued, "Guxiang County Magistrate Zhu Xiang has been at the forefront of the important tasks of rectification, control and repair despite his old age and frailty. He has worked hard and made great contributions. I recommend Zhu Xiang to be promoted to Yantai County Magistrate. Liu Cong, the governor, has worked very hard since he took on the concurrent post of Yantai County Magistrate. He should not be the concurrent post of County Magistrate anymore. Guxiang County Chief Clerk Song Ziqing is also like Zhu Xiang. He has made great contributions and worked hard. I recommend Song Ziqing to be promoted to Guxiang County Magistrate. Yao Chaohai, the former nominal Chief Clerk, will officially take on the post of Guxiang County Chief Clerk."

~~
Zhu Xiang was suddenly extremely excited and moved, with tears in his eyes.

How could he not be moved and excited when he was over fifty and still received constant promotion from Shi Tianyu?

Although Shan Wushuang was dismissed from his post as county magistrate, he dared not say a word as saving his life was the most important thing.

Shi Tianyu added: "In order to strengthen the protection of the Qiansui Temple, this official has decided to establish the Fucheng Qiansui Temple Guard Battalion, which is a seventh-rank organization, with one chief steward (seventh-rank), seven deputy chief stewards (eighth-rank), and several guards. This official recommends Shan Wushuang as the chief steward of the Fucheng Qiansui Temple Guard, to plan the protection of the three Qiansui Temples in Fucheng and the establishment of the guard camp. He is recommended as deputy chief stewards."

He thought that he had been misunderstood, plotted against, and surrounded by people in the underworld for more than a year or two, and that those people would definitely come to disrupt the three Thousand Years Old Temples in Fucheng, which would bring him a devastating disaster. So he decided to set up a Thousand Years Old Temple Guard Camp.

At the same time, he used public funds to support thousands of disciples of the Yunlong Gang without increasing the burden on his own family.

Moreover, he had to fulfill his promise, give the Lu father and son and the disciples of the Yunlong Gang a way out, and participate in the officialdom in maintaining the safety of the Qiansui Temple, and then officially embark on the road of military service.

He also fulfilled the promise he made to He Sihai in Kunyang Prefecture Government Office and recommended He Sihai to be an official, embarking on the path of becoming an eighth-rank official.

~~
Suddenly, Lu's father and son, He Sihai, Hua Qiuxing and Hua Dongfeng, and the Dai brothers were all extremely excited, with tears in their eyes. They did not expect that they would become officials so soon. They all stepped out of the line, clasped their fists, and bowed to thank Shi Tianyu.

~~
Wang Chao wanted to object, but he didn't dare to say a word. This was to protect the safety of the Qiansui Temple!

How could he object? Besides, it was Shi Tianyu who would raise money and grain in the future.

~~
Lu Baochuan was drooling in his heart, thinking: Damn it, Shi Tianyu is really good at trying to please people.

Oh! How come Shi Tianyu is so smart?
I don’t know whether to praise Shi Tianyu or scold Shi Tianyu?

~~
Shi Tianyu thought that Lu Weiting, Lu Jian, Hua Qiuxing, Hua Dongfeng, Dai Yuguang, Dai Yutian and others were neither scholars nor military candidates, and had no rank before. It would be difficult for them to be promoted to eighth-rank officials according to normal procedures. So he came up with a clever plan to let these people serve as deputy general managers of Qiansui Temple, and the Ministry of Personnel would definitely agree to approve it.

Because this is to protect the safety of Wei Zhongxian's ancestral temple.

And timely support for Shan Wushuang will make it easier to pass the two levels of Dai Kun and Lu Yuan.

~~
Even if Shi Tianyu used his butt to imagine, he could still imagine that Dai Kun must be with Lu Yuan all day long.

And for such an appointment, Lu Yuan would definitely seek Dai Kun's opinion.

Shan Wushuang, Lu Weiting, He Sihai and others were tied together on the same piece of official document. How could Lu Yuan separate them and add comments?

Lv Weiting, Lv Jian, Hua Qiuxing, and Hua Dongfeng all had their own opinions about Lv Ying and Hua Qianduo being Shi Tianyu's concubines. Although Shi Tianyu called every woman of his "Madam", Lv Weiting, Hua Qiuxing, and others must have known that Lv Ying and Hua Qianduo were actually Shi Tianyu's concubines.

It's just that Shi Tianyu is rich and can let each of his women enjoy the same living conditions. But Lu Weiting and others can see from the fact that Shi Tianyu's women call Wang Jing "big sister" that among Shi Tianyu's women, Wang Jing must be the most respected one.

Therefore, Shi Tianyu also had to comfort the psychological trauma of Lu Weiting, Hua Qiuxing and others.

This is another strategy that kills several birds with one stone and takes both public and private interests into consideration.

~~
The Qiansui Temple Guard Camp was a newly created one. What was needed was military force, and no basis for official rank was considered. The fact that these military men were willing to come to the Qiansui Temple Guard Camp showed that they were loyal to Wei Zhongxian and were willing to work for Wei Zhongxian's ancestral temple.

However, Lv Weiting and his son were escorts in the past, and Hua Qiuxing and others were bloodthirsty people in the martial arts world. How could they know which officials in the court were good or bad? Moreover, Wei Zhongxian was now the 9,000-year-old. In the minds of Lv Weiting, Hua Qiuxing and others, Wei Zhongxian was a great good man and official, worthy of their lives.

~~
Shan Wushuang was startled at first, then he knelt down hurriedly to express his loyalty to Shi Tianyu, holding back tears of excitement and choking with sobs, he said, "I will never forget your kindness in supporting me, sir."

Thinking in my heart, Shi Tianyu not only did not care about Shan Mou's past embarrassment to Shi Tianyu, but also helped Shan Mou, which is really rare! This time I really want to thank Mr. Shi. Protecting the Qiansui Temple is a great achievement. If it is done well, it will definitely be promoted step by step in the future.

~~
"Clap!"

Qiu Feng felt mixed emotions, but he was the first to applaud and cheer for his good brother Shan Wushuang.

Thunderous applause immediately broke out in the government court.

Shi Tianyu added: "Chen Biao, the chief clerk of Anzi County, has left his toiling figure in the construction sites of Anzi County, such as the renovation of the county seat, the paving of streets, the construction of the Qiansui Temple, and the development of water conservancy. The inspectors of the government office, Su Xing and Xu Huan, worked day and night to carry out the important tasks of "one rectification, two grasping, and three repairing". This official recommends Chen Biao to be promoted to the position of experience in the government office, Xu Huan and Su Xing to be promoted to editors, and Pan Dong, Zhuo Yue, Peng Jinshi and the county magistrates to be promoted to inspectors of the government office."

As soon as the applause stopped, he immediately promoted Chen Biao and Pan Dong, the remnants of the Mahayana Sect, to stabilize Chen Biao and Pan Dong. As for how to execute Chen Biao and Pan Dong in the future, it would not be too late to consider it later. The harm caused by these two people was not as great as Tang Guan. They were nothing more than tipping off the information. There were no secrets now, so he was not afraid of Chen Biao and Pan Dong reporting anything.

At the same time, he took the opportunity to settle Peng Jinshi, Su Xing, Xu Huan and the sons of many wealthy businessmen.

~~
Wang Chao was immediately furious and immediately stood up to object, saying loudly, "Master Shi, the government office just relocated a group of Dianshi four months ago, and now so many people are being relocated. This is the largest number of people in the history of the Fucheng government office. The finances are overwhelmed! I oppose this motion."

There is no objection to Lu Weiting and others being appointed as deputy chiefs of the Qiansui Temple Guard Camp, because Lu Weiting and others are the ones who protect the golden body of the godfather of the dynasty. Now we can't let Shi Tianyu always speak nonsense and promote his close confidants indiscriminately.

~~
Liu Cong also stood up and said loudly: "I agree with Lord Shi's proposal. Lord Shi will introduce new policies in the new year and urgently needs people! Lord Shi and the people he appoints are all honest officials who are dedicated to serving the people."

Relying closely on Shi Tianyu, he happened to be playing a rival role to Wang Chao.

Moreover, in the past six months or so, while carrying out the important tasks of "one rectification, two grasping, and three repairing", Liu Cong also served as the magistrate of Yantai County and made some money. He was very grateful to Shi Tianyu.

~~
Shi Tianyu laughed and said, "Master Wang, you, me and Master Liu will vote. If two of us approve, your objection will be invalid."

"Thank you, Lord Shi, for your support!" Chen Biao and others, with tears of excitement in their eyes, bowed to Shi Tianyu to express their gratitude together with the county magistrates.

Song Ziqing then led the applause.

~~
"Clap!"

In the court, there was immediate cheering and thunderous applause.

Wang Chao was dejected and could only curse Shi Tianyu in his heart as a good-for-nothing.

Liu Cong then teased Wang Chao, saying, "Master Wang, why don't you smile? Only by smiling more can you stay young! As the saying goes, a smile makes you ten years younger."

"Ha ha!"

The officials did not expect that Liu Cong also had a sense of humor, and they all laughed out loud.

Wang Chao's face suddenly turned red and he forced a smile, which was very ugly.
