Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

"General, please allow me..."

More than 1000 people shouted at the same time, and the gathered petitions were like a stormy wave crashing on the shore, hitting the hearts of all the surrounding soldiers.

The people took the initiative to petition and submit to labor service, just to reduce the burden on the government...

This kind of story, which mostly only exists in story books, actually happened in front of their eyes!

And the protagonists are still them!

Everyone's heartbeats suddenly accelerated, and their energy and blood surged wildly.

Especially the several Qianhu and Changyu who were following Zhang Shiping, as well as the dozens or hundreds of Baihu officials, general banners, etc. who were closer, and even Zhang Shiping himself, their breathing became inexplicably heavy.

In their minds, the words Lu Chen said before echoed inexplicably.

"The people are like water, and the army is like fish. Water can be without fish, but fish cannot be without water..."

"As the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. You have been favored by the people. If you don't think about repaying the people, how are you different from animals?"

The military and civilians...the situation between fish and water!

boom!

It was like a thunder flashed through his mind.

At this moment, they felt that the already hot blood in their bodies began to boil rapidly.

A powerful force is constantly pouring into the spiritual veins, rapidly widening the spiritual wall, which not only increases the speed of spiritual power flow, but also increases the amount of spiritual power that can be accommodated by a level in an instant.

Chapter 127 Sir, You Know Me

Facing the sincere pleas of all the people, Zhang Shiping, who had finally calmed down the surging spiritual power in his body, shook his head.

"The Governor has an order that strictly prohibits the government from levying labor services and does not allow the people's power to be used indiscriminately."

He walked up to the old man, helped him up, and then said sincerely: "I understand your wishes, but the rules are rules. Except for the guards of Yu and Sui states, no other manpower can be used to control the water this time. Otherwise, even I, the general, will not be able to bear the blame if the Governor-General is blamed."

All the people wanted to persist, but no matter what they said, Zhang Shiping shook his head and refused, and finally gave up.

Then Zhang Shiping took the people away.

Seeing the soldiers leaving, the faces of the common people were filled with emotion.

"In order to prevent me and the common people from working too hard, the imperial court went to this extent... Today's imperial court is truly benevolent and righteous..."

"The world is about to change..."

"If a good official like the Governor can hold a high position, the current Holy Lord must be a wise and powerful emperor!"

"With His Majesty and the Governor here, we can expect a prosperous future."

"..."

When a crowd of people were expressing their appreciation for the good fortune of the imperial court, a lean man in the crowd who had never spoken suddenly raised his head. A look of determination suddenly flashed through his sharp eyes that were different from those of ordinary people. color.

It was like he had made some decision.

He loosened his clenched fists slightly, then took steps to chase Zhang Shiping and others in the direction they left.

"Eh?"

The conspicuous move immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

The man didn't even look back and said: "I'm going to do my little bit for this peaceful world!"

It's not at all like the way illiterate people should speak.

The moment he finished speaking, the linen clothes on his body suddenly moved on their own without any wind, and a spring of spiritual power surged out and spread all over his body in an instant.

The next second, the surrounding wind spirit power suddenly surged regularly, surrounding the man's body, making his figure suddenly become a little erratic, and he disappeared from everyone's eyes soon.

"This...this is..."

The people were shocked.

"Repairer!"

Just when the people were stunned——

Yuzhou City, inside the state government office.

Xiao Yun, the new governor of the two states who was driven out of the market, was holding a teacup and sipping tea leisurely.

Be gentle and elegant in your manners.

Born in a famous family, holding a high position, talented and beautiful, good temperament, noble and elegant, intellectually happy...

She is almost a perfect daughter of a high family and a lady in everyone's family.

It’s just that for some reason there has never been a Taoist companion.

Sitting opposite her, Fu Huan, who had just been promoted to the Guiyi Realm, was not as laid-back as her.

Fu Huan frowned and said to Xiao Yun with doubts on his face: "Xiao Shangshu, you mean to ask Xuan Jiwei to go to Hu County, Qinghe County, and Baiyun County temporarily just like Governor Lu did before. Acting as county magistrate, chief registrar, etc.?"

A few days ago, when Fu Huan was crossing the tribulation, Zhao Ping and other local officials suddenly launched an attack and led hundreds of masters to attack the palace in an attempt to destroy the irrefutable evidence of their corruption and perversion of the law. As a result, they were attacked by Xuan Jiwei and Ye Fan. The leading martyrs joined forces to stop it.

Fu Huan was dragged back to Yuzhou City as if the god of death had arrived.

The strong man in the Guiyi Realm takes action personally, and the result can be imagined.

Since then, Zhao Ping and the local officials who colluded with him have been cleaned up.

Afterwards, there were many vacancies that had just been filled by Lu Chen in various places in Yuzhou, especially the three counties that Fu Huan had just mentioned, almost all of them were filled from top to bottom.

Although it is popular to see corrupt officials whose homes are confiscated and detained, local governments cannot be governed without officials representing the imperial court.

Originally, Fu Huan was planning to report to the court and ask the court to send someone over.

But Xiao Yun just said that it had been too long to wait for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to send people to serve. The local government could not live without a stable government office for a long time. Since Lu Chen chose to send Fang Yu and other Xuanji guards to govern the local area, he should follow this example and send some more Just go over to Xuanji Guard.

This made Fu Hua, who knew his old subordinates very well, subconsciously feel inappropriate.

Xiao Yun nodded and said softly as always:

"Commander Fu, do you think there is anything inappropriate in my decision?"

Fu Hua nodded slightly.

"Xiao Shangshu, as far as I know, even if it is a temporary appointment, the appointment of local officials needs to go through the court and your majesty. The reason why Governor Lu can do this is because he has the sword of the extreme that can represent your majesty. Xiao Shangshu, you ...It seems like you don’t have this right?”

"I indeed do not have this right. Although His Majesty left Huaiyu in the capital and asked me to take over his position as governor, he cannot fully control the military and political affairs of the two states like Huaiyu."

Xiao Yun smiled.

"However, His Majesty's decree states that no one can change the policies implemented by Governor Lu in the two states. It must be continued unswervingly and no one can leave the government. Therefore, it is not so much that I ordered Xuanji Wei is temporarily acting as a local magistrate. It would be better to say that Governor Lu ordered you and others to take up posts in the three counties. I am just a messenger."

Hearing Xiao Yun's explanation, although Fu Hua did not refute, she turned her head and glanced at the remaining temporary county magistrates designated by Xiao Yun, who were the same as Fang Yu and others who had gone to serve in various counties. Xuanjiwei who received Lu Chen’s teaching——

Tao Ji from Qian Hu, Li Yue from Qian Hu, Li Xuan from Qian Hu, deputy Qian Hu, Su Yi, Wu Gui, Tang Wu, Wang Yuan'e from Bai Hu, Xue Li and Qian Tu from the general banner.

"Since it is His Majesty's wish, Xiao Shangshu can do it himself, but they..."

His words were full of obvious doubts.

Seeing the commander looking over, Tao Ji and others subconsciously scratched their heads.

His face was full of disdain, and his eyes showed obvious unconfidence and even resistance.

Then Tao Ji, who was as strong as a bear, took the lead and said: "Sir, you know me. Apart from this brute force, I can only tinker with food and satisfy the desires of the mouth and tongue. How can I be worthy of it?" Official?"

After finishing speaking, Liyue, who was only 1.5 meters tall and looked like a light-bodied little lolita, scratched her temples habitually, and then said sheepishly:

"Sir, you know, I... apart from martial arts, I only have all kinds of weird ideas in my mind. I know how to tinker with messy things all day long, and I blew up the military camp several times... ..”

Speaking of this, she didn't know what she thought of, and her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and she could no longer speak.

Li Xuan continued: "Sir, you know, apart from practicing, I am only interested in flowers and plants..."

"Sir, you know me...Aside from martial arts, I am only interested in pigs, horses, cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks. My mind is full of how to make these livestock grow more meat... "

"Sir, you know me..."

Hearing their statements one after another, even with Fu Huan's cold temperament, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.

"I know, you all have special skills..."

As she said that, she looked at Xiao Yun with some embarrassment.

Although Xiao Yungui was the minister of the Ministry of Industry and a high-ranking official of the second rank, he was not Lu Chen after all, and it was impossible for Fu Hua to obey Xiao Yun as he did to Lu Chen.

Objections that should be raised must still be raised in a timely manner.

However, Xiao Yun chuckled indifferently.

"Commander Fu, I know what you are worried about, but I still say the same thing. I believe in Huaiyu's judgment. At present, the Xuanji Guards who have received Huaiyu's teachings are the best candidates to ban those corrupt and mediocre officials."

Hearing this, Fu Huan frowned slightly.

But Xiao Yun didn't wait for her to question, then continued:

"Although I don't know why Huaiyu sent Xuanjiwei, who had no experience in governing and even no contact with Confucian classics, as a local official, but since he became an official, he has done amazing things from time to time, and every time he seems to be unreasonable and ridiculous. The results of his actions are often unexpected. Therefore, since he is willing to risk the disapproval of the world to break the rules and assign military personnel to govern as never before, it must be due to some considerations and a decision made after careful consideration. Among them, there must be some There is a profound meaning that we cannot understand for the time being...so..."

She raised her head, with a glimmer of light in her soft eyes.

"Trust Huaiyu's judgment, he will never let us down."

Bringing up Lu Chen's name, Fu Huan thought about it again and again, but finally had no objection.

As she, the commander, nodded, Tao Ji and others naturally couldn't say anything more, and with Lu Chen's endorsement, it wasn't like they couldn't bite the bullet and take up the post.

After all, even a great scholar like Lu Chen said that no matter what Tao, as long as it is beneficial to the people, the court, and the world, it is the Tao.

Then their chaotic mess doesn't seem to be so unbearable.

Anyway, the situation is a foregone conclusion, and you can't resist it no matter what. In that case, let's... give it a try.

Maybe there will be some unexpected gains?
