Volume 2 Fengqi Anxi House Chapter 192: Regret the New Emperor
The big black dog has been starved to death.
"If you want to go, just go."
Lu Jiuzhang waved his hand and said.
"Okay, Master Jiu."
The big black dog ran outside the door excitedly.
As Lu Jiuzhang's personal monster, Big Black Dog has always regarded himself as a mythical beast.
But usually no one thinks it is a mythical beast, they all think it is a monster.
But it was different today. The people respected the big black dog very much, and they called the beast "Master" one after another and asked the big black dog to sit on him.
Today, the big black dog made a lot of face.
…
Opposite the house.
Aunt Zhao's family naturally saw the scenes outside the house.
Aunt Zhao even went and had two meals of flowing water.
"Chan'er, why don't you go and eat some too, so that our family won't have to cook today," said Aunt Zhao.
"Mom, I don't want to eat, I have no appetite."
Zhao Chan'er shook her head and looked at Lu Jiuzhang's house. She wanted to see Brother Lu, but she didn't know what excuse to make.
"You girl, if you don't eat free meals now, you have to waste our rice and noodles, right?"
Aunt Zhao was furious, "You look at other people's homes every day, so why don't you go find them? What's so good about just peeking in our house?"
When Lu Jiuzhang came back, he didn't even look at himself. What did that mean? It meant that he no longer wanted to interact with his family.
What else are you watching?
Although Lu Jiuzhang is powerful, their family doesn't need a single needle or thread from Lu Jiuzhang's family.
After scolding her daughter a few times, Aunt Zhao saw two lines of clear tears flow from Zhao Chan'er's face.
At that moment, Aunt Zhao couldn't say anything more and walked away silently.
…
One night passed.
The next day, morning visit to Jingzhao Mansion.
The new emperor sat high on the dragon throne.
All the officials in the audience stood side by side in an orderly manner.
This was the core place of the Great Zhou Dynasty. These hundreds of officials assisted the new emperor in ruling the entire territory of tens of millions of miles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as the billions of people under his command.
"Long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty!"
All the officials knelt on the ground and shouted in unison.
The new emperor on the dragon throne has a handsome appearance and a crown on his head, full of majesty.
"All the ministers are of equal standing!"
The new emperor said slowly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
All the officials stood up and bowed down from the stage.
"What's the matter with your family?"
the new emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, after the floods in Hexi County last year, the people had no harvest. This year, there is another famine, and the people's lives are devastated. I sincerely request your Majesty's permission to provide disaster relief to the people."
"According to the report, the Minister of Household Affairs will allocate three billion taels of silver for disaster relief. The Supervisory Yuan will supervise the matter to prevent anyone from enriching his own pockets."
The new emperor agreed.
"Your Majesty, it is midsummer and the summer palace in Beiyuan Mountain is under construction. The thirty million taels of silver previously allocated have been used up. Mr. Lu, the Minister of Household Affairs, has been reluctant to allocate funds, which has delayed the construction of the palace. I sincerely ask Your Majesty
Punish him for his crime."
Another adult took a step to the right and complained.
"There were chaos in many places in the Zhou Dynasty, and the bank was already nervous. The construction of the summer palace was put on hold for the time being, and we focused on quelling the chaos. This matter should not be discussed further." The new emperor waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to talk about the matter anymore.
"Your Majesty, the Northern Barbarians have invaded, but the Northern Frontier Army has been reluctant to send troops to quell the rebellion. I sincerely request Your Majesty to punish the Northern General for serious crimes. At the same time, I recommend the General to take charge of the Northern Frontier Army..."
There was a lot of business in the morning.
Not only had to deal with official affairs, but also had to deal with the criticism among the courtiers. The new emperor was a little tired.
Seeing that the morning court was about to end, the new emperor breathed a long sigh of relief and said slowly, "Everyone, if nothing happens, please withdraw from the court."
"His Majesty!"
At this time, an inappropriate voice sounded from the audience, and an old minister with white hair in the front stepped forward, "I have something to report."
"What's the matter?"
The new emperor frowned slightly and asked.
"I asked your Majesty to severely punish Master Xu. His close disciple Lu Jiuzhang used his name to wantonly kill Changshui County, the official of the imperial court." The old minister angrily said, "No matter what the official of the imperial court committed, the court should make the decision."
"Although the county magistrate is only seventh grade, he cannot be killed casually by a warrior."
"Secondly, the people below are flattering. Lu Jiuzhang moved from the Demon Slayer of the Demon Slayer Department of Changshui County to the deputy director of the Demon Slayer Department of Anxi Prefecture just because he clung to Master Xu."
"Isn't it against the rules to be promoted like this?"
"Then Lu Jiuzhang is only at the eighth level of martial arts, so why does he serve as the deputy director of the Demon Slaying Department in Fucheng?"
"Lu Jiuzhang is just a small warrior. There must be Master Xu's guidance behind him."
"Master Xu is the dean of the Overwatch Council and supervises all officials, but he is so protective of his own students. I believe that Master Xu is no longer suitable to serve as the dean of the Overwatch Council."
"I sincerely request your Majesty to punish him."
The old minister knelt on the ground and begged.
Master Xu on the other side was unmoved.
The other party is too anxious, and it is difficult to defeat him with just this little thing.
Will the New Emperor punish himself for this?
It's hard!
First, the matter was too small to be noticed by the new emperor.
Second, although he violated the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, Xu Shixin took up the post of president of the Supervisory Yuan.
Wouldn't it be a slap in the face to dismiss Master Xu now?
Does it mean that the new emperor has no talent for understanding people?
This old man is considered a veteran, so he doesn't understand the disputes in the court, right?
The so-called straw that broke the camel's back was that when the new emperor trusted Master Xu, it was useless to talk about Master Xu's mistakes.
As long as they don't make big mistakes or principled mistakes, the new emperor will generally avoid punishments that are more severe or even not punish at all.
Once you don't trust Master Xu, bringing this matter up again will be the last straw that breaks Master Xu's mind.
For this reason alone, Master Xu can be imprisoned.
"I already know about this matter, and it is not Master Xu's fault. There is conclusive evidence that the Prime Minister of Nawang County has been running rampant in Changshui County for many years. But Lu Jiuzhang is too domineering, so he was removed from the post of deputy director and made to serve as the Demon Slayer of Anxi Prefecture.
!”
"Master Xu knows someone who is unknown and will be fined one month's salary."
The new emperor said slowly.
This punishment is too light, so light that it is insignificant.
"Is there anything else? If nothing happens, leave the court!" the new emperor ordered.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Master Xu took a step forward and reported.
"Master Xu, what do you have to say?"
Facing Master Xu, the new emperor was still relatively polite.
"Lu Jiuzhang is indeed a student of Weichen. His Confucianism, Taoism and Martial Arts have all reached the eighth level. He is an unparalleled genius." Master Xu said slowly, "Not only that, Lu Jiuzhang also wrote a famous saying through the ages - you are paid and your salary is good, and the people are fat and the people are anointed.
, The people below are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully.”
"Wei Chen plans to engrave this famous saying throughout the ages on the central halls of all government offices, to encourage many officials, so that these officials will bear this sentence in their hearts, and serve as an official for a long time."
"Wei Chen wants to ask for a reward for his student Lu Jiuzhang!"
Master Xu looked at the new emperor.
As soon as these words came out, all the officials in the court were shocked.
Is this a hard regret for the new Emperor?
Even if your Master Xu is the new emperor's teacher, do you really think that the new emperor can't kill you?
