Chapter 23 Take office
I sent you thousands of miles away, and there was a farewell. In the reluctance of the people, Chen Yuan grabbed a handful of soil from the ground and put it into a sachet.
Then he got into the front of the carriage and drove towards Luoyang without looking back...
Ziwei City, Guanfeng Hall.
Wu Zetian stood in front of the portrait and thought, and the imperial edict had been passed on for several days.
Chen Yuan climbed to Luoyang even if he climbed. Why didn’t he have any news?
"Wan'er, is Chen Hong back?"
"Return to Your Majesty, Eunuch Chen has not returned to the palace yet, so it will only take one or two days to calculate the day."
"However, Weichen has a secret letter from him."
After saying that, Shangguan Wan'er took out a piece of cake with burnt paint from the box.
Wu Zetian opened it and took a look, and a hint of surprise flashed between his eyebrows.
Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"This Chen Yuan is a little capable. In just eight years, he brought me a umbrella of people."
"This is the first time in my Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"If it weren't for the young age, I really wanted to put him in the Luoyang Mu's position."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er smiled bitterly and shook her head.
"Your Majesty is better not to put him in the Luoyang Mu's position."
"Oh, why is this?" Wu Zetian withdrew his gaze from the secret letter and looked at Shangguan Wan'er.
"Your Majesty doesn't know anything. I met Princess Taiping when I entered the palace just now.
She led a group of servants out of the palace angrily.
It is said that the Luozhou government arrested one of her housekeepers.
I'm planning to ask for someone."
"There is still this?" Wu Zetian frowned slightly: What did Mu Jinghui in Luozhou say?
"The Luozhou Guard just took leave to the cabinet yesterday and was lying at home to recuperate."
Wu Zetian's face turned dark: Jinghui is becoming more and more distorted!
Whenever Gods involve royal relatives, nobles, princes and ministers, he will go home and take his illness.
Let his subordinates take the blame, how can I count on him in the future!"
No wonder Wu Zetian was angry. Luozhou Mu was also a second-rank official, nominally higher than the prime minister of the cabinet.
But Jinghui was not good at doing so. He either drank tea and listened to music or walked birds and drew ducks all day long.
So much so that after taking office for a year, God became chaotic and major cases broke out from time to time.
If it weren't for the lack of anyone in his hands, Wu Zetian would have taken him down.
"Your Majesty, the most urgent task is how to deal with this."
"If Princess Taiping starts to make trouble, with the character of those people in the Luozhou government, they may choose to turn big things into small things."
"If it arouses public grievances, it may damage the royal family's face."
Wu Zetian thought it was true. With Princess Taiping's personality, if she really messed up, not to mention the people in the Luozhou government, even Dali Temple would be able to do anything.
"Forget it, I'll go there in person!" After that, he changed into casual clothes and went to Luoyang official palace.
...
Luoyang, south of the city.
After Chen Yuan and his group came to the Ministry of Personnel to collect the relevant procedures, they separated from Eunuch Chen and started walking around the city by themselves.
I have to say that as the capital of God, Luoyang City is indeed big enough, and even ten Qingyuan counties cannot compare.
But when it comes to infrastructure and sanitation, Luoyang City is far from the Qingyuan.
At most, it is only ten miles from the city gate to the Ministry of Personnel. Not only are there bumps, but the ground is full of thick phlegm.
As soon as he stepped down, the cloth boots were sticky.
The blue brick houses on both sides of the street are almost becoming dangerous houses, whether they cut corners or were disrepaired.
"Okay, Lao Hu, there is nothing to do in Luoyang City. Let's go to Luozhou government to report."
"Yes, sir."
Chen Yuan and his group came to Luozhou government after many inquiries.
Looking at the grand government office in front of them, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sir, I'm here to our territory. I'll call you here."
Hu Erlangzi ran to the door happily and knocked on the door politely.
"Who are you looking for?" The door opened and a blue-faced official exposed.
"Brother, my lord is a new job..."
"Go away, go away, come back after the limelight is over!"
Bang!
The door was closed heavily, leaving three people with a shocked look on their faces.
"Sir, he closed the door!"
"I saw it." Chen Yuanxu narrowed his eyes and looked at the door.
Today is his first day in office, and he didn't even get in. It's so cowardly.
The clay man is still very angry, let alone he is Shen Batian.
"Hu Er, I seem to be panicked when the official officer looks like he is in a panic. I guess something has happened in it."
"You call the door open again."
"Yes, sir."
He asked to open the door again, but the official officer had not spoken yet, and a chief official appeared in front of him.
"Open your eyes and see clearly. This is Lord Shen, the President of Luozhou,!"
"Hurry open the door and please come in."
Captain Hu said majesticly with his head in his waist.
"Are you the newly appointed Chief Chen?" Guan Cha was stunned and looked up and down at Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan nodded: It is my official.
After confirming the identity of the visitor, the official sent a fist to greet him.
"I am a humble official, Liu Changfeng, and I have met Chen Changshi!"
"No need to be polite, take my official to meet Lord Mu of Luozhou!"
Walking into Luozhou Prefecture, Chen Yuan said casually while looking at the internal environment.
When Liu Changfeng heard this, he shook his head, "Shi Chen didn't know anything. Lord Guan Mu took his sick leave yesterday and was recuperating in the mansion."
"Everything is temporarily handled by Sima Qin." He said that, and opened a spacious and bright room.
"This is your official residence, so you can handle official business here in the future."
After glanced at the room, Chen Yuan nodded with satisfaction, his eyes fell on Liu Changfeng's face.
"Who was hit by your face?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Changfeng's face changed, his expression was a little panicked, and he said to Ai Ai.
"When I go back to Lord Changshi, it was a villain who accidentally bumped into him."
"If there is nothing to do, you can rest first. Bei Zhi will pour you some tea."
"Stop, I have something to ask."
Shen Yuan walked around Liu Changfeng with his hands behind his back: I have been in the government for a while, why are you the only one and the others?
"this……"
Liu Changfeng's forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"explain!"
Hu Er shouted loudly, which scared Liu Changfeng to tremble all over and explained.
"Sir, I don't know that Sima Qin is taking his brothers to hear the case in the lobby."
"Since the case involves the palace, it is extremely difficult to handle."
"In the palace?" Chen Yuan frowned and said lightly: The wound on your face must have been beaten by the palace people, right?
Liu Changfeng covered his face and lowered his head: That's right!
"It's interesting. Even the officials dare to beat him. There are really everyone in Luoyang City.
Hu Er, bring the golden sword and let’s meet this murderer in the palace!”
After saying that, Chen Yuan swayed his sleeves and walked towards the lobby.
...
Lobby!
Bang!
"Bold and unruly people, you dare to falsely accuse me of insulting your little lady. There is evidence!"
After the big case, a fat butler with big ears shouted coldly.
"Bah, it was you, the murderer who forcibly occupied my daughter."
After the old farmer finished speaking, he begged to the official standing beside him.
"Qin Sima, you have to make the decision for the old man!"
Facing the miserable, Qin Sima's face turned pale and finally turned around.
Seeing this, the fat butler sitting behind the desk was even more proud.
"Old man Li, don't you ask where the uncle came from."
"If you have the time to sue me, you might as well go back and get a coffin for your daughter."
"Hmph, let's go!"
He threw away the gavel in his hand, and the fat butler patted the ashes on his body, and wanted to leave.
At this moment, a sneer came from outside.
Chapter completed!
