After the Eight-Power Allied Forces left Vietnam, Li Zhen carried out drastic reforms.
Vietnam disappeared, was changed to Vietnam Province, and was included in China.
Ye Chengzhong was transferred from Wuzhou Prefecture and served as the governor of Vietnam Province, becoming another frontier official under Li Zhen. It is said that times make heroes. At this time, Ye Chengzhong was very proud of himself. At the age of 20, he became the first official in charge. Among the people in the province, looking at all of China, only Ye Chengzhong was appointed governor at the age of twenty-one.
Of course, Ye Chengzhong can hold this position because of Ruan Lele's factors. Li Zhen wants to appease Ruan Lele and make it easier for the Vietnamese people to accept the new officials. Ye Chengzhong is undoubtedly the most suitable. After all, he will become Ruan's family. son-in-law.
Ye Chengzhong took office as a new official and quickly sorted out government affairs.
For several days, Ye Chengzhong stayed in the government office, giving the officials a good start.
…
In the palace, in the main hall.
Li Zhen and Ye Chengzhong sat opposite each other, with no one sitting on the dragon chair above.
Li Zhen asked: "I have been the governor of Vietnam for a while, what do you think?"
Ye Chengzhong looked confident and calm, and said calmly: "To be honest, I feel a lot of pressure on my shoulders. After all, I am responsible for the lives of countless people. Besides, I am too young. I want to gain a foothold in Vietnam and convince officials everywhere. There will be certain difficulties, but I will try my best to handle Vietnam's affairs and make the Vietnamese people's hearts toward China."
"Okay, I'm ambitious."
Li Zhen clapped his hands in praise and nodded repeatedly.
This kid is very motivated.
Li Zhen continued: "Your idea is very good, and I will fully support it. Xiaoye, you have been with me for many years, and you are the earliest person to be with me. During your stay in Beijing, you have been exposed to the country's new laws. , knowing that the term of the president is 10 years, similarly, the local feudal officials only have a term of 10 years in one place, and then they are transferred to other places to serve."
"I hope that during your 10-year term in Vietnam, you can work conscientiously and develop Vietnam well. Whether it is Vietnam's people's livelihood or Vietnam's economy, it must be improved. This will lay the foundation for you in the future."
"With your current qualifications and age, if you develop steadily, it is very likely that you will serve as the leader of the country in the future. Therefore, I hope that you will take every step well during your term in office, and wholeheartedly develop for the people and the country. Thinking about it, I have always emphasized that what you have as a leader is not a privilege, but a responsibility that you carry on your shoulders."
"When you serve as the governor of a province, you must work for the benefit of the people, do you understand?"
Li Zhen looked serious and full of expectations.
Ye Chengzhong nodded and said: "President, please rest assured that Xiaoye will take every step steadily and live up to the trust of the president, the people, and my country."
At this time, Ye Chengzhong's heart started beating loudly.
When Li Zhen spoke, he mentioned that he might become the leader of the country in the future, which means that he might become the person with the most power. Although he is far away from that step, as long as he is practical and diligent, everything is possible. Ye Cheng sincerely felt sorry for Li Zhen was full of gratitude. He was once just a small vendor, and after following Li Zhen, he rose to great heights and became one of the brightest new stars in the country.
His noble man is undoubtedly Li Zhen.
Li Zhen continued: "Things in Vietnam have almost been arranged. Next, I may prepare to leave. After I leave, the Royal Palace, as a cultural relic of Vietnam, will not be inhabited by people. It is used as a viewing place like the Forbidden City. Once you live in, you will It means that you are a privileged class, and the deep palace compound is not suitable for working, so you need to build a new government office."
Ye Chengzhong smiled and said, "I understand."
Li Zhen said: "Now that we've finished talking about business, let's talk about some personal matters."
Ye Chengzhong asked: "What's going on?"
Li Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "What else can happen to your private affairs."
Ye Chengzhong suddenly realized this and became excited.
Li Zhenxiao said: "When you followed me, you were less than fifteen years old. In a few years, you have grown up and become a big man. We have been together for so many years. I can be said to be your brother, and I also consider myself I am qualified to be your officiant and to preside over the marriage for you and Lele. Besides, Lele is my sister, so I am more qualified to be your officiant, what do you think?"
Ye Chengzhong said happily: "The president will personally marry me, which is what I wish for."
Li Zhen said: "Invite Lele over, I will talk to Lele."
"okay."
Ye Chengzhong left briskly, and Li Zhen smiled softly, finally comforting the boy.
Not long after, Ruan Lele walked in.
After seeing Li Zhen, Ruan Lele shouted happily: "Brother."
Li Zhen pointed to the seat next to him and said: "Sit next to me and let's talk about home affairs." Ruan Lele sat down as he was told and said: "Brother has settled the matter in Vietnam and is leaving Vietnam."
Li Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "Lele is so smart. He is indeed planning to return to Beijing. Before I leave, I have to do something big, otherwise I won't feel at ease if I leave."
"What's the big deal?" Ruan Lele asked curiously.
Li Zhen said jokingly: "Guess."
Ruan Lele blinked and saw the expression on Li Zhen's face again. Thinking back to the happy expression on Ye Chengzhong's face before, he vaguely guessed what was going on.
A blush appeared on her face, she shook her head and said, "I don't know what it is."
Li Zhenxiao said: "You're a dishonest girl, that's fine. Since you won't tell me, I'll tell you that our Lele is now a grown-up girl and it's time to get married."
Ruan Lele's cheeks were red, showing infinite shyness.
"I will not marry Ye Chengzhong, I will accompany my brother." Ruan Lele lowered his head a little and said softly.
Li Zhen asked: "I really don't want to marry Xiaoye."
Ruan Lele said: "I won't marry."
Li Zhen smiled and said in an old-fashioned way: "Since Lele is so sure that she won't marry, then we won't marry and let Xiaoye be a bachelor for the rest of his life. You follow me back to Beijing. There are many young talents there. Whatever All the people we catch are talented, handsome, and unrestrained. How can our precious daughter be married off casually?"
"Brother, you are evil."
Ruan Lele pulled Li Zhen's hand and said coquettishly.
Li Zhen asked again: "Marry or not."
Ruan Lele replied: "Marry."
Li Zhen laughed and said, "That's right. My brother will officiate your wedding and make you a happy bride."
When Ruan Lele heard the word 'marriage', the smile on his face became far-fetched, his expression was gloomy, and he sighed softly: "If brother is still here, if Mingde is still here, they will be very happy. Unfortunately, brother and Mingde They’ve all gone.”
Li Zhen said with a smile: "When you marry Xiaoye, you will have someone who will stay with you for the rest of your life. Your parents and brothers will be happy and relieved. Your good life after marriage is the greatest comfort to them."
Ruan Lele nodded heavily and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother."
Li Zhen said: "We are brothers and sisters, why should we be so polite? Let's go and prepare the dress."
The two left the hall together to prepare for the next marriage.
