Volume Two Feng Qi Anxi Mansion Chapter 204 A World of Chaos
Luo Fusheng sighed.
"What is the so-called era of great chaos?"
Lu Jiuzhang asked, "Could it be an invasion from the demon realm?"
"No!" Luo Fusheng shook his head, "This kind of chaos can be simply summarized by the invasion of the non-demon realm."
"The whole world will change by then, and the world you see is not the real world."
This sentence is mysterious and mysterious, and even Lu Jiuzhang can't understand it.
"Some time ago, when I was in seclusion, I felt the aura of the Great Confucian and the Demon King." Luo Fusheng said, "Is the Great Confucian related to you?"
"Indeed, the great scholar is my mentor, and the demon king comes from the demon realm."
Lu Jiuzhang replied.
"It's just a phantom. If they were really present, the entire Anxi Mansion might be gone." Luo Fusheng said with emotion, "After the drastic changes in the world, whether it is a second-level martial arts or a great Confucian, they are just chess pieces between heaven and earth.
.”
"After many years of hiding from the world, it's time to come out."
…
At night, under the moonlight.
Nanxiang County was the southernmost county in the Zhou Dynasty.
Further south is the edge of Shiwanda Mountain, which is a paradise for monsters.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, landslides and ground cracks occurred, like an earthquake, covering tens of thousands of kilometers of land in Nanxiang County.
Half of the people in Nanxiang County felt that the mountains were shaking and the ground was falling, as if it was the end of the world.
A letter was rushed to Jingzhao Mansion.
A trace of black mist rose from the ground, gradually covering half of Nanxiang County.
The shrouded small half of Nanxiang County has completely lost contact with the outside world, as if it has disappeared from heaven and earth.
In the sky, the full moon seemed to have turned into a blood moon.
Jingzhao Mansion!
Imperial City, Imperial Study Room.
The new emperor was about to take a rest, but the eunuch knocked on the door hurriedly, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent message. The Qin Tian Jian is asking for an interview. Prime Minister Zuo also asked for an interview. He has been waiting for a long time."
The new emperor had no choice but to stand up and "bring the memorial in and announce Prime Minister Zuo's audience first."
The eunuch opened the door to the royal study, came in and placed a stack of memorials on the table.
Later, Prime Minister Zuo hurried in.
"Your Majesty, the humble minister is guilty!"
As soon as he came in, Prime Minister Zuo knelt on the ground.
The new emperor is most annoyed by this. There are too many etiquettes, and you can just talk about things when you have something to say. These old immortals have to go around and around.
But she couldn't be angry yet, so she could only say slowly, "What crime is Prime Minister Zuo guilty of?"
"Your Majesty, the trustee of Anxi Mansion, Xu Taishou, sent me five thousand taels of gold!" Prime Minister Zuo said hurriedly, "In order to worry about the other party's overthinking, I had no choice but to agree."
"In addition, Governor Xu hinted to me that he hopes I can help him ascend to the position of governor of Beilu County."
Prime Minister Zuo told the whole story.
Xu Taishou felt that he had been appreciated by Prime Minister Zuo and had a bright future.
Little did they know, this was the new emperor's plan.
But Prime Minister Zuo did not dare to tell outsiders about this.
But Xu Taishou didn't know the reason, so he sent five thousand taels of gold. While he planned to join Prime Minister Zuo, he also had some interest in the position of governor of Beilu County.
"Who is the governor of Beilu County?"
the new emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, the governor of Beilu County is Bai Shiqi, who has a close relationship with the head of the Zhong family. After the Zhong family was classified as a rebel, he temporarily escaped the disaster because he was not a descendant of the Zhong family."
"But there are many people who are interested in his position as county governor and have begun to travel around to build relationships and plan to unseat him within this month."
Prime Minister Zuo replied respectfully.
There is no need to lie in front of the new emperor.
The New Emperor's intelligence system was so complicated that even if she didn't know it, she could get some clues by just checking it.
"Oh? Interesting."
The new emperor smiled.
She naturally knew that the ancestor of the Zhong family was besieged and died.
Later, the ancestors of several major families joined forces to put pressure on the Zhong family and labeled them as rebellious.
Although there are experts behind the royal family, with the cooperation of so many ancestors of the aristocratic families, sometimes they have to give in a little.
After all, the ancestor of the Zhong family has died in battle, so there is no need to fight against other powerful families for a family that is about to be destroyed.
"Starting today, we will deprive Beilu County of the position of governor." The new emperor said, "Make this position vacant."
After saying this, the new emperor looked at Prime Minister Zuo again, "I wonder if Prime Minister Zuo has a suitable candidate to serve as the governor of Beilu County?"
"this……"
Prime Minister Zuo was stunned. If there was no suitable candidate, it would definitely be impossible.
But since the new emperor asked this, he definitely couldn't admit it.
Those who are at the top are most afraid of people below them trying to win over factions, which can easily impact their own status.
"There is no candidate."
Prime Minister Zuo shook his head.
"Release the position and let them compete to see who has the ability to win this position." The new emperor smiled.
Two dogs fight, play off.
Let’s also see what methods these people have.
"How should Prefect Xu deal with it?"
Prime Minister Zuo asked.
"Haha, five thousand taels of gold, five million taels of silver, what a big deal." The new emperor sneered, "The governor of a mere city has collected so much silver, it's really impressive!"
"Then the governor of Beilu County is a loser?"
The new emperor was furious.
The governor of Beilu County did not report such a major incident.
What does his boss do for a living?
And the Inspectorate!
The new emperor originally wanted to scold him angrily, but she had previously rejected the statement and spared Prefect Xu his life to train Lu Jiuzhang.
Therefore, this fire was directed at the Inspectorate.
Under the imperial power, Prime Minister Zuo knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Let me ask you, how much money does an ordinary household spend a year?" asked the new emperor.
"Going back to your Majesty, an ordinary household in Jingzhao Prefecture can spend almost twenty or thirty taels of silver a year. If it is in a remote county, the cost will be even less. Anxi Prefecture is located in the north, in a remote and remote area. I think a household in Jingzhao Prefecture can spend up to four hundred taels of silver a year.
Five taels of silver."
Prime Minister Zuo said.
In fact, Prime Minister Zuo still overestimated.
He is not from Anxi Prefecture, nor has he been to Anxi Prefecture, so he does not have a comprehensive understanding of Anxi Prefecture.
In Anxi Mansion, ordinary people could not even spend one or two taels of silver a year.
Most of them are self-sufficient, growing and eating their own food.
The money spent every year is too little.
Five million taels of silver placed in Anxi Prefecture can cover the expenses of three to four million ordinary households for a year.
The entire Anxi Prefecture had a registered population of only 4.2 million households and over 16 million people.
Of course, this number is certainly inaccurate.
Anxi Prefecture's statistics definitely have a certain amount of water content.
"This is the case for a small Anxi mansion, but what about the entire Zhou Dynasty? How many tricks are hidden there?" the new emperor said angrily, "I have given an oral order that the Supervisory Council will supervise all officials. If they don't behead a hundred corrupt officials in a month, let's let them go."
Master Xu, please don’t come see me!”
"Your Majesty is wise, the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely become a prosperous age under your Majesty's governance."
