Chapter 58 The new official takes office
Give you a whip, and then let you suck in the air. If someone asks you what you are doing, you can tell him that you are sucking.
This shivering performance at Zhao Yu's wharf suddenly wrinkled the spring water in Jiangnan. While various impeachment reports flew to the capital, everyone in Jiangnan was in danger, because His Royal Highness Yi was a patrol for the emperor. Who can guarantee that he did this? It was not instructed by the emperor?
Soon, a long queue was lined up outside the inn where Zhao Yu stayed, all officials at all levels of Huainan East Road who were requesting an audience.
The purpose of these officials is very clear. It is true that they can do it without regard for what they can do.
This inn, which was once very ordinary, has transformed into an imperial envoy.
On the first day, Zhao Yu rejected the banquet from Yangzhou officials on the grounds of being unwell.
The next day, he summoned Du Zhongyu, the Yangzhou Tuanzheng, alone. No one knew what the emperor of King Yi was selling. He only knew that General Du left with a serious look on his face after seeing King Yi, and refused to say more no matter who asked.
On the third day, His Highness Yi finally took action and ordered all officials to gather in the Yangzhou Prefecture to discuss matters.
It’s not that Zhao Yu doesn’t want to do business in the inn, but the situation is really not enough.
His Royal Highness Yi’s abnormal behavior in the past two days immediately made the officials of Huainan East Road feel their hearts in their throats.
Just as officials at all levels rushed to the government office, Wu Song stood in a daze on the streets of Yangzhou.
The person sent by Zhao Yu missed Wu Song, but the message Lu Zhishen brought to Wu Song was slightly received.
At the same time, Wu Song also received an invitation from Song Jiang. Wu Song and Song Jiang had become brothers of the opposite sex at Chai Jin's house, so from the bottom of his heart, Wu Song was closer to Song Jiang.
But Wu Song and Lu Zhishen are also sworn brothers, especially Wu Song is still the main identity, so he is somewhat resistant to Song Jiang's invitation to join the underworld.
It is precisely with this complicated mentality that Wu Song is so confused.
The main hall of the Jiangnan Cao Gang was located in Yangzhou. Just when Wu Song was hesitating to see Song Jiang or Zhao Yu first, the conversations of the people around him came to his ears.
"Have you heard that? This Prince Yi is from the Ming Cult. This time I went to Jiangnan to preach the mission."
"You should just take it down! How could the nobles of other people join the Ming Cult? Don't always believe those rumors, but when it comes to rumors, I heard some rumors, saying that His Highness Yi was sent by His Majesty and planned to completely abolish the birthday gift and thoroughly investigate the officialdom in Jiangnan."
"Really and false? If the birthday gift can be abolished, it will definitely be great news for the people of Jiangnan."
"Is it true or false? You can tell if you go to the government office to listen to the news. The Palace of King Yi has been here for three days. No official has seen him except the generals of the garrison. Today, all the officials were summoned. I am afraid that there will be big moves. Let's go outside the government office to listen to it!"...
With the noise and talk among the people, more and more people have flocked to the government office.
Wu Song was jealous of evil and had known the harm of the birthday gift to the people, but he was unable to change anything after all. If His Highness Yi King could really do this, he might as well go and meet him...
The people were right about it, and the news was also spread by Zhao Yu, because he knew that it would be impossible to just say it.
Fang La and his friends wanted to use the birthday gift as a rebellion, so Zhao Yu started from the birthday gift and comforted the people as much as possible.
In the lobby of Yangzhou Prefecture, Zhao Yu sat upright, his face as heavy as water, and there were seal letters from the imperial envoy and flags of the king's destiny on the table.
No matter what the purpose of Huizong’s father sending Zhao Yu out, these necessary equipment must be available.
Dozens of officials were separated on both sides, and the guards outside the government office had been replaced by Zhao Yu's personal guards and the officers and soldiers who were temporarily seconded.
The government office was filled with a terrifying aura, and the officials were careful and didn't even dare to breathe.
A clerk quickly presented the list of officials signed in to Zhao Yu. General Xu took it and looked it over, and then said softly: "Report to your Highness, except for the Huainan East Road disposal minister, other civil and military officials at all levels have arrived."
Zhao Yu sneered in his heart, does this old guy want to protest in this way? Since he doesn't come, then it's as you wish.
"Mr. Xu, you are from the Imperial Palace. I want to know what the charge is for despising the imperial envoy?"
"If you go back to Your Highness, you will be dismissed from office at the least, and if you are raided, your home will be detained and your residence will be severely punished."
"Very good! Can the Yangzhou magistrate be there?"
After hearing Zhao Yu's call, Yangzhou magistrate Lu Hongming couldn't help but tremble and subconsciously agreed: "The emperor is here!"
"I checked your daily actions and your official reputation is pretty good. From now on, you will temporarily take over the position of Huainan East Road. After the Ministry of Personnel writes, you will be officially appointed."
"The officials dare not!"
Lu Hongming was almost crying. His official voice was good, but he had no foundation in the court. On the other hand, the minister of the Dai Prime Minister was a celebrity in front of Liang Shicheng. If he wanted to replace him, he would not let Liang Shicheng kill him when he turned around!
"Master Lu, are you disobeying your order?"
"I, I dare not!"
Feeling that King Yi's tone was a little cold, Lu Hongming had to agree against his will.
Zhao Yu glared at Lu Hongming coldly and sang: "Come here!"
With Zhao Yu's shout, Lin Chong, dressed in military uniform, strode into the hall.
"The last one will be here!"
"Go to read my orders, and at the same time, I will take the seal of the Lord Dai's seal for me."
"Get orders!"
It is impossible to send someone else to this matter. There are not many people around Zhao Yu, so Lin Chong can only go there personally.
Is Your Highness Yi going to come true?
Zhao Yu glanced at the officials coldly and said again: "I am the prince who inherited the destiny of heaven. If anyone dares to disobey his orders, I will never let him go."
"I am now announcing the first order to suspend all mining and collection of birthday gifts from now on."
"You may think that these are the ones that Suzhou should be under the jurisdiction of the bureau, and Suzhou does not belong to Huainan East Road. I might as well tell you that no matter what road, it is the world of the Song Dynasty. Since I have been ordered to tour Jiangnan, the orders issued by my king must be issued to no corner of Jiangnan."
"I don't want to pursue what you have done in the past, but from now on, if I let me know that someone is corrupt and abused the law and bullied the good, I will never forgive me. Now I will go back and implement my orders. I will send people to check the implementation situation in various places."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yu finally calmed down and said, "I know it's not easy for you. Putting aside public affairs, I also hope to be friends with you, and I hope you don't let me down!"
Although the discussion was not long, the officials almost suffered from heart disease. After hearing Zhao Yu's last words, many people suddenly felt a sudden realization.
Yes! No one is easy. His Highness Yi said this. Is it implying something?
The officials didn't know why they thought it was that when the people outside the government saw the notice posted by the official officer, they suddenly heard the shocking cheers, and long live the wise voices were endless.
