Chapter Seventy-One: Goodbye Su Jian
Outside Renjia Town, there are more than a dozen villages attached. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In addition to Zhangjia Village, which was wiped out by the "epidemic" a few years ago, there are also small villages such as Liujiagou that are the closest.
It's just that in recent years, Wangjia Village, Zhangjiagou Village, and Huya Village, which are close to each other, have all moved away, saying that they are afraid of epidemics.
As a result, the empty houses were occupied by homeless children......
Luo Zi rode a ghost horse under his crotch for thousands of miles and ran at night, and everything he heard and saw was a mess, this was the boundary of the original Wangjia Village.
Behind him, Liu Dun kept adding yin qi to the ghost horse he had summoned, driving it to keep up with the footsteps of His Majesty's ghost horse in front of him, and said: "Your Majesty, in recent years, this area has almost provided nearly seventy percent of the ghosts in the city for the Stygian Moon City, and has added a lot of potential monsters, and the Stygian Moon City is a lot more lively than it was at the beginning, I didn't expect Lord Su to have this means of dead wood and spring, I really admire it......"
After listening to what Liu Dun said, Luo Zi didn't make a sound, still leaning over on horseback to drive the road, the wind whistling and roaring in his ears.
The speed of the ghost horse can be seen.
However, Luo Zi's mood was not comfortable-
This Su Changkang (word) doesn't know what a good fate is, even if he is assigned to this Dark Moon City where birds don't, he can actually plan the Dark Moon City so well!
A trace of jealousy flashed in Luo Zi's eyes, Su Jian and Su Changkang were his old courtiers, when his predecessor was alive, this Su Jian was the squire of the Ministry of Works in the imperial court, and when Luo Zi came, this Su Jian seemed to have gradually become the most powerful and senior minister under him.
Nine years ago, he took advantage of the situation to demote Su Jian to the city of the Dark Moon City to serve as the city guard, and suppressed Su Jian's threat to the dust in one fell swoop, and almost completely lost the opportunity to turn the tables, but he was thinking about the old of the original body, who would have thought that at such a dangerous time, he could still use the matter of Uncle Jiu to make himself have to reuse him again, and even borrowed his position as a nephew - so that he had to let him go.
It turned out to give him a chance to breathe!
Now Su Jian can still take advantage of the "time" of the troubled times, combined with the "geographical advantages" of his Dark Moon City, to seek to seize the "harmony" of the homeless!
Luo Zi's eyes became deeper and deeper, compared to the dark environment around him, he could often hear news from the Forbidden City in Shanghai in the past few years, what kind of heavenly treasures to be respected, what kind of fun things happened in the Dark Moon City, what ......
And two years ago, a minister wrote a letter to ask the Underworld to be promoted to a three-grade ghost city.
When this piece was folded in his hand, Luo Zi was quite dissatisfied-
Three-product ghost town!
Three-product ghost town!
Something that doesn't have long eyes! When he transferred Su Changkang away from Falling Moon City, Falling Moon City was just a second-grade ghost town!
Why, it's only been a few years, and Stygian Moon City has reached the level where it can be upgraded to the third grade?!
Wish for the moon!
Here I have to say a word about the rules in Luo Zi's court at this time - because it is in the underworld, so it is different from the way of ruling the world in the yang world, in order to make things more convenient and concise, Luo Zi personally set some rules, one of which is closely related to the rights of the ministers-
The "Law of Rank and Strength", because the officials in the imperial court were clearly divided into two categories at this time, one is the "inner government" and the other is the "outer government", the meaning of the inner and outer government is different from the previous meaning, but refers to the division of the jurisdiction of the official position.
The officials who go out to guard ghost towns, checkpoints, and borders are called "foreign officials", such as Su Jian, the city guard of Dark Moon City, and Jiang Youwen, the city guard of Falling Moon City.
The officials directly under the central government who stayed in the Forbidden City and worked directly for the emperor were called "internal government officials", such as Jiang Yunlai, the superintendent of the imperial history, Dong Feng of Jinyi Wei Qianhu and others.
Fortunately, the officials of the inner government can stay in the Forbidden City and accumulate slowly, or find a person to make meritorious service from the front line in wartime, they can be rewarded according to their merits, and then promoted to expand their power; But the officials of the foreign government are different, and their official ranks have to be based on the rank of the ghost town as a reference line-
For example, Jiang Youwen, the city guard of the second-grade ghost city of Luoyue City, although he is only a second-grade third-grade official now, as long as his qualifications and merits are there, he can submit a request at any time, and he actually holds the rights that only second-grade ministers can have.
And like the current four-grade ghost city of the Dark Moon City, the city guard Su Jian, originally this Dark Moon City was only a five-grade ghost town, just because Luo Zi wanted to belittle Su Jian, so in order to be neat and legal in shape, the grade of the Dark Moon City was improved.
Want to move up the ranks of a ghost town?
I'm afraid that Su Jian's real intention in his heart is to expand his power, so that he can gain more benefits in the battle of the Forbidden City in the near future, right?!
Luo Zi immediately approved it back at that time, not allowed!
The reason for use: insufficient background.
The so-called strong branches and weak stems, strong branches and weak stems, the branches and leaves are lush, the main trunk is difficult to get the best nutrition and falls inferior, before Luo Zi's own power reaches unshakable, he will not give anyone a chance to threaten himself!
Although Su Jian's loyalty can be guaranteed, after all, Su Jian is a deputy coffin who depends on Luo Zi to live forever, as soon as Luo Zi dies, the first to be destroyed is the Zhu Qing in these deputy coffins, but Luo Zi is not living here just to survive, what he wants is absolute power!
Absolutely, absolutely, no one can resist or contradict their own power!
Luo Zi thought about his thoughts, and didn't have the leisure to say a few words to Liu Dun, so he interrupted Liu Dun and asked, "How far is this place from the sleeping mountain?" ”
Liu Dun finally heard Luo Zi's reply, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the current footsteps of the ghost horse, there will be about a quarter of an hour to reach the Dark Moon City, and after the Dark Moon City, we will be able to reach the Sleeping Mountain in one more hour-Your Majesty, should we rest in the Dark Moon City?" ”
Luo Zi did not hesitate and said: "No, the stakes are very high, it is not appropriate to postpone, you must return to the palace before noon!" ”
Although it was dark around them at this time, it was actually morning.
Just to hurry, Luo Zi led everyone to go to the underworld.
The sky in the underworld is dark all the year round, only the day of the Double Ninth Festival is illuminated by the sun, and the ghosts in the underworld will have nothing to hide in the sun on that day, so they have to hide in the major ghost towns - this is why the big ghosts, who have no restriction on the ghosts except for the underworld, can establish one huge power after another.
If it weren't for survival, who would want to be confined and enslaved?
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Liu Dun is an official of the inner government, so he naturally completely obeys Luo Zi's orders, and naturally has no objections.
However, when they rode across the border of Stygian City, the words "Stygian Mooncity" on the border stone flashed red in a strange way......
