Chapter 305 Brother, you have suffered
When Xiao Chen arrived in Changshan Prefecture, he met Chen Jisheng, Ye Baiqing, Lin Yue and others, and they were all happy.
"I thought your old man was tired and thin, why do you still look fat?" Seeing Chen Jisheng's rosy face, full of energy, Xiao Chen was really happy from the bottom of his heart, he was afraid that the old man would be too tired.
"I'll just sit here and give orders. I do everything. Cong Shu, Lin Yue, Bai Qing, Tianlong and the others eat well and sleep soundly every day. Why are you tired?" Not only did Chen Jisheng not feel tired, he was still energetic It's getting better and better!
He's a man of work, the kind that gets sick only when he's idle.
"Congshu, thank you for your hard work." Xiao Chen nodded and smiled at Liu Congshu, "Is this old man not easy to serve?"
"Returning to Governor Xiao, the old man is the overall strategy. If the command is determined, we will do things according to his orders, just run errands, but we don't bother to work hard, let alone talk about hard work." Liu Cong said.
"Oh, Cong Shu's words are not good. This is to accuse the old man of taking too much power and not giving you room to play freely?" Chen Jisheng laughed.
"Old man, that's not what you mean by being an official!" Liu Congshu was taken aback.
"Do you take the old man's joke seriously? Xiao Chen, Cong Shu is talented and deserves a great job!" Chen Jisheng's words carried a lot of weight.
"Yo, this seems to be the first time I've heard you praise me, old man. We've been with you for so long, but we've never heard you praise me just because of being scolded!" Xiao Chen laughed.
"Old man, you..." Liu Congshu was so moved that his eyes were red.
"Old man, don't be biased, you can praise others even if you are high or low." Ye Baiqing laughed.
"Tianlong is a soldier, and I'm not in the old man's care, so you can boast?" Chen Jisheng said, "But the old man can praise you a little bit."
"Oh, I thank you, old man, I don't dare to praise you, you just need to stop scolding me a few times!" Ye Baiqing said.
"Brother, you suffered...you lost weight." Xiao Chen looked Ye Baiqing up and down, and smiled meaningfully.
"Farewell!" Ye Baiqing got up and left.
"Brother Bai Qing, tell us, is Larissa beautiful?" Duan Ling'er grabbed her.
Ye Baiqing knew that she couldn't escape their cynicism, she covered her ears with her hands and refused to listen, the villain chanted scriptures...
After joking for a while, let's get down to business.
Li Wanjiang gave Xiao Chen two orders, the first one was all about encouraging and praising the high-sounding scene, so it goes without saying.
In the second secret decree, however, Xiao Chen was scolded.
It probably means that you brat dare to openly deceive me?
The little prince Mo Luo has led his troops to withdraw from Yanyun County, and Wanyan Pingqiu's 100,000 troops have not stepped into Niutoushan. I know the reason!
You kid secretly communicated with them behind my back, worked together, formed some kind of covenant, opened up some kind of mutual market.
Hmph, you kid is trying to rebel!
Don't give me any defense memorials, if you want to prove that you are really loyal to me, then hurry back and explain the situation to me... You are limited to come back within one month after receiving the order.
Otherwise, I will definitely send King Fengyang to lead an army to destroy you, and sweep Xiaoxiao in northern Xinjiang by the way.
It's too late for you to regret it then!
The tone of voice was quite harsh.
Xiao Chen just regarded him as farting.
It was you, Li Wanjiang, who let the tiger go back to the mountain, and I took advantage of the situation to travel around the world. Now you want to control the young master, but it is not so easy.
You still think you are in Fengyang City, fuck me if you want to fuck me, kill me if you want to kill me?
What are you thinking!
Whether I go back or not depends entirely on my mood...
But my brother, I'm in a pretty good mood right now.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Handed the secret decree to Chen Jisheng, asking his old man to read it too.
"I don't need to look at it to know what is written on it. It's just to let you go back?" Chen Jisheng knows Li Wanjiang well.
"Boss, you must never go back now!" Ye Baiqing said, "Why did we surrender Yanyun County to Li Wanjiang for nothing?"
"Yes, Boss, once you leave, he will definitely send another governor!" Lin Yue said.
"The emperor is just trying to scare people. Now Xiao Xinghan in Yizhou is plotting to lead a navy to attack Minzhou County. King Fengyang's army has turned back to the south to prepare for the battle. How can we send troops to the north? If he can come sooner Here we come!" Ye Baiqing said.
Several people chatted happily, but Liu Congshu and Feng Tianlong were stunned and pale.
I rely on you, what are you doing?
What do you mean that the Yanyun County we defeated cannot be handed over to Li Wanjiang?
Li Wanjiang is the emperor of the Great Zhou, isn't he?
As the saying goes, under the whole world, is it the king's land, and the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers!
Yanyun County does not belong to the emperor, could it be Governor Xiao...yours?
"Cong Shu, Tianlong, what do you two think?" Seeing that the two of them had been silent, Chen Jisheng asked by name.
What do you think?
Rebel?
"We all listen to Governor Xiao!" The two replied in unison.
"Hehe, have you thought about it?" Chen Jisheng smiled.
"I didn't think about it, but I am willing to follow Governor Xiao to death." Liu Congshu felt that it was better to tell the truth at this moment, but for some reason, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, with his intelligence, he had already noticed that something was wrong.
Who is Chen Jisheng? He is a criminal minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I heard that the emperor almost killed him at the beginning, but after all the officials pleaded for mercy, he was dismissed and returned home. He will never be hired!
But now he is grandly in charge of Changshan Prefecture and even the entire Yanyun County.
All government affairs were handled without going through the court, and his father had the final say on everything.
For example, Liu Congshu, who surrendered to the enemy in a city, would definitely be executed according to the law, and he also embraced the heart of death, but unexpectedly, Chen Jisheng's light words absolved his crimes and allowed him to continue as the magistrate.
For such a big matter, he doesn't need to ask the court for instructions?
Negotiating with Governor Peter, opening a mutual market in Bailong City, appointing and dismissing the fifth-rank officials in Yanyun County, exempting the common people from taxes for a year, and publicly declaring that they will never forcibly conscript civilians and impose excessive and miscellaneous taxes...
None of these major events passed the imperial court!
It can also be said that the removal of officials from the director is an act of rights and interests, but such things as tax exemption and tax exemption must be approved by the imperial court, and the emperor personally issued a decree!
A local governor... oh, he is still a guilty minister who acts as an acting governor, but he has no power to decide.
Not to mention the governor, even Li Wanyun, the loyal king, does not have such great power.
So I'm afraid Governor Xiao Chen is planning to conduct independent management in Yanyun County, a place far away from the emperor...
This cannot be said to be a direct rebellion, but it is similar.
Anyway, regardless of the leader, the crime of decapitation is inevitable.
Then what should Liu Congshu do? In fact, it is a very simple multiple choice question.
He had already made his own choice in his heart.
It's just that I'm still a little tangled, because the death penalty for surrendering to the enemy in Kaesong is not quite the same as the death penalty for open rebellion.
I also remembered the conversation I had with Mr. Chen Jisheng that day.
King of Sheji, which is more important?
What is more important, the lives of the common people or the imperial power of the emperor?
