King Lu Yang is the brother of His Majesty, and naturally he is also the brother of the late Emperor.
When the late emperor came to the throne, he was named King of Luyang.
His fiefdom at that time did not include Yanghu, but only Lushan and Yangjiang. After he arrived, he reported to His Majesty the late emperor that the river below was affected by disasters every year. Since he was fiefdomed here, he should benefit the people and requested the imperial court to allocate special funds to build it.
For a flood control dam, His Majesty the late Emperor issued an imperial edict to commend it, and donated a million taels of silver to rectify the disaster.
What did King Lu Yang do?
He hired a master of cultivation at a high price and moved mountains with one sword, turning them into dams.
This incident alarmed His Majesty at the time, but His Majesty just laughed it off.
After all, using migrant workers to build a dam is essentially the same as asking a spiritual master to move mountains with his sword, and no one is pursuing this matter.
During the reign of the late emperor, Yanghu Lake really brought blessings to the local people.
There is no such thing as a bottleneck or water bill.
But after the death of the late emperor, King Lu Yang changed his face. His majesty turned a blind eye to this, which led to the current situation...
"Your Excellency is watching Yang Lake today. I must have used some brains." He Xingong said: "But please forgive me for speaking inappropriately. King Luyang's tree has deep roots and he has the support of the Crown Prince behind him. Your Excellency wants to deal with him.
Almost impossible."
Staring at Lin Su's eyes, they were all in disbelief...
What they emphasized was that Cao Daru, who came from their village, had a noble character, did not collude with the government, had a dark officialdom, resigned from office and retired to the countryside, and was a famous person in the world.
She personally welcomed him out, and she also brought a girl who was about fourteen or fifteen years old. The two of them ran downhill in coarse clothes, and they had to kneel down...
"The first step has been completed. Last night, all 48 Nanshan bureaucrats headed by Du Tiangao were dismissed from their posts, and all seven county magistrates were dismissed from their posts!"
"Cao Li, Tianyuan Kuchiki, has met the prefect!"
Ohsumi helped him seize the throne, and he tacitly allowed Ohsumi to occupy the four towns. No, Ohsumi may not have tacitly agreed, but made an explicit promise!
"Haining Linsu, I have met Mr. Cao!"
She was the former wife of the prefect, so she had naturally met several senior officials in the prefect's office. He Xingong was one of the people she was most familiar with, because He Xingong was originally the prefect's most trusted subordinate.
Lin Su raised his eyes: "Madam, please do not be too polite, and fellow villagers, please do not be too polite. I, Lin Su, admire Mr. Cao's official character and character, and I am here today to pay my respects in a private capacity."
When asked about Cao Li, the villagers were very enthusiastic, and several old people took the initiative to take them there.
Boom! Suddenly, the folks behind Lin Su knelt on the ground.
"Don't dare! It's me!"
Cao Li's face was full of blackness. As the saying goes, "expose people but don't expose shortcomings." You know that my famous saying has become a joke. No one dares to come to me to learn from me, but you just mentioned it to my face. What do you mean?
"You want to use your lifelong learning to teach the disciples of Nanshan, and in the future you will step into the officialdom and quell the chaos in Nanshan!" Lin Su said: "But by now, you should also understand that your grand plan will always be a mirror of the mirror!"
"Almost impossible? Isn't it possible that there is still a chance?" Lin Su laughed: "Sir He, it is quite rare for you to have such confidence in me!"
As soon as these words came out, an old man lying on his side on the stone in the courtyard above suddenly opened his eyes.
The girl who had just crossed the threshold with tea in hand trembled suddenly, almost spilling the tea.
Lin Su's heart was filled with waves...
The fields are surrounded by fields, thatched huts are built into the hillsides, and chickens and dogs are crowing, which is quite peaceful.
"You probably wouldn't have thought that the new magistrate would come to invite you to come out of the mountain on the second day after he takes office!"
Cao Li stared at Lin Su: "Nanshan is turned upside down... How can we turn it upside down?"
Lin Su walked into the small courtyard and saw Cao Li.
Her eyes moved to Lin Su.
"Lord Prefect!"
Your Majesty has done too many such things.
When her husband resigned and went into seclusion, there were only seven or eight people in the entire Nanshan officialdom to send him off, and the leader among them was He Xingong.
Cao Li's eyes flashed: "When I left office, I also thought about who would come to take over the mess in Nanshan. I never thought that it would be Mr. Lin who would come."
How could he ever take up other positions in the prefecture again if he just refuses to do so?
Once he comes out, the wave of literary dividends brought by his resignation (being indifferent to fame and fortune is an excellent literary name, and literary names are dividends for literary people) will immediately turn into a joke.
Everyone in the literary world or the political world would laugh to death. Don’t you, Cao Li, claim to be indifferent to fame and fortune? After a few months at home, you can no longer live in poverty. Are you begging the new magistrate and looking for another job?
In this case, if you really don’t need money to buy it, how can he, a noble scholar, afford it?
When He Xingong introduced him like this, everyone was stunned...
After a while, we entered a small village.
The voice was low and depressing.
"Exactly! Now that Lin Su is appointed as the magistrate of Nanshan, Nanshan will definitely be turned upside down. If Mr. Cao is willing to come out, it will be the icing on the cake for Lin. If Mr. Cao is not willing to come out, it will not change the situation of Nanshan. However, Mr. Cao
I will regret missing this wonderful event."
This small village, with hundreds of households, is antique and original in style.
"Master Prefect!"
An old woman above stuck her head out from the fence: "Who is it...ah, congratulations...he sir!"
He Xingong quickly waved his hand and stopped with the mighty power of literature and morals: "Old madam, I regard Master Cao as my official mentor, and you are my master's wife. Don't be too polite. Xin Gong pays his respects to my master's wife!"
Is this true?
When he was appointed as the prefect, the biggest difficulty was that he was firmly locked in this layer of officialdom. His orders were changed beyond recognition before leaving the prefect's office. People like Du Tiangao controlled Nanshan Prefecture and completely ignored him. It was in their interests.
They get things done faster than anyone else, and they won't implement things that are not in their interests. If you push them hard, they will rebound, which resulted in him serving as prefect for more than two years without achieving anything.
Cao Li, who was about half a hundred years old, was wearing a long coat of coarse cloth, with a white beard and hair, standing under the acacia tree in the courtyard.
Their black hands are everywhere, in the whole government, in every county, in all lines, their people are in charge. Even in the government office, he always feels the threat of death.
For such a young scribe, everyone always thought he was a disciple or follower of He Xingong, but they didn't expect that he was actually the newly appointed prefect.
Along the way, they also enthusiastically introduced Magistrate Cao to the two literati - the former magistrate (Lin Su and He Xingong did not wear official uniforms, only ordinary scholar clothes. Even ordinary literati, in the eyes of the villagers, they were still
Big shot).
Therefore, in the eyes of the former magistrate's wife, as long as He Xingong comes here, he will be a distinguished guest.
Now that he has lost his official position, and no one has asked him about his knowledge, he really means nothing.
He has no talents except being an official and learning.
Cao Li's expression immediately changed: "Why did Mr. Lin say this? How can I come out of the mountain again if I have retired to the countryside?"
In turn, he bowed first.
The villagers did not mention this, and there was only one explanation: he did nothing after he retired to seclusion.
"This is the new Nanshan Magistrate, Mr. Lin!"
Lin Sudao: "How dare you! I'm here today just to tell Mr. Cao that you don't have to wait for the children of Nanshan to grow up. The great changes in Nanshan have already begun."
In their mouths, it was a different Cao Li.
"But Qinglian's first grandmaster, Da Cang champion Lang Linsu?"
Ding Jiye made suggestions for him to win the throne, and he tacitly allowed Ding Jiye to enclose the land in Sanping County, and his family would monopolize 40% of it!
King Lu Yang probably also helped him, so he tacitly allowed King Lu Yang to collect the water fee, which stuck Nanshan Mansion's neck for nearly ten years!
In their dictionary, celebrities in the world are actually very simple. They have no greed, no evil deeds, and do not bully the people. They are celebrities in the eyes of the people and are worthy of praise.
He Xingong's face was very troubled, do I have confidence in you?
It's not okay to tell the truth at all?
He dared to do such nonsense, and he must have been one of the contributors to Your Majesty's success in seizing the throne. As a prince, he helped Your Majesty ascend the throne, and His Majesty reciprocated his kindness and acquiesced in his reckless behavior.
He hated these people, but he had no way to deal with them.
Because they have Cao Fang, the governor of the state, behind them! And King Lu Yang is covering them overtly and covertly.
These villagers listed his deeds, but they all stopped at the moment when he resigned, or the time when he was the prefect. They didn't mention anything about what happened after he resigned and went into seclusion.
Lin Su smiled faintly: "Mr. Cao, when you retired to your countryside, didn't you leave behind a famous saying that shocked the world? Do you still remember how you said it?"
At the beginning of the trip, Lin Su only said that he was visiting Cao Li, but he never said that he would ask Cao Li to come out!
In his opinion, it is impossible for Cao Li to leave the mountain.
There is a hillside in front, a small courtyard, and a hut, which is close to the mountain at the back and close to the spring. It is very elegant. This may be the difference between this great scholar and ordinary villagers.
"Madam, is Mr. Cao here?" The old man who was traveling with him raised his neck and shouted upward.
That was just a polite word from me...
Lin Su took three steps forward, and Cao Li also took three steps.
Cao Li's whole body was shaken...
This formal tone made Lin Su uncomfortable.
The two of them took off into the air and went to Qingtian County.
It was always a question of character over and over again, and Lin Su would naturally interpret it differently.
As soon as Lin Su said this, not only Cao Li, but also Cao Li's wife and daughter, even He Xingong was shocked.
There is a saying that goes well, things in the world often have their roots in the court.
The old woman's eyes suddenly became hot: "Master He is so polite, how can I bear it? This..."
Although he was forced to withdraw from officialdom by hundreds of clan elders, the bigger reason was that nothing he did in the officialdom went well.
Cao Li's face suddenly darkened: "The prefect came here today just to laugh at the old man?"
"I have met the prefect..." The old lady also bowed down immediately, but Lin Su also stretched out her hand, and she still could not bow down.
King Lu Yang caused trouble to Nanshan Mansion, and the root cause was the royal family.
Cao Li's eyes were firmly locked on Lin Su, and the air seemed completely frozen: "Has it started?"
Her voice suddenly rose, obviously surprised.
Now, the new prefect told him that as soon as he took office, he stabbed the most sensitive part of the officialdom. No, this was not a knife attack, but a direct overthrow of the entire Nanshan officialdom.
"Master Cao, don't doubt it!" He Xingong stepped forward, took the tea from the girl's hand, and sent it to the two adults who looked like fighting cocks. He added: "What Master Lin said is absolutely true. Last night, the Nanshan officialdom was
It’s a big earthquake!”
Cao Li took a deep breath and slowly stretched his eyes to the sky: "Master Lin's skill and courage are beyond compare to me! What do you want me to do?"
"After an earthquake, the officialdom was emptied. I don't know who else is available in Nanshan. I would like Mr. Cao to come out and serve as a master to guide me."
