Chapter 154: Zhong Xuan suddenly appeared
On the second day, Liu Zhan took Xu Chu to the county government again.
As soon as he entered the door, Liu Zhan found that today's county government was different from yesterday. The county government was full of busy officials, and middle-aged people in official uniforms paced back and forth in the lobby, restless.
Xu Chu grabbed a servant and took out the edict and lit it up: "Tell your county guard to come out to greet the king of Yingchuan." β
"What?" The official looked impatient, but after raising his eyes and reading the words on the edict, he knelt on the ground with trembling legs: "Little one, please meet the king of Yingchuan!" The small one has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, please forgive the king of Yingchuan. β
Liu Zhan raised his hand and said lightly: "No visit." β
As if he had been pardoned, the official bowed respectfully and ran to the hall.
The middle-aged man wandering in the lobby listened to the words of the officer, his expression was grim, and he quickly ran to Liu Zhan and dodged and saluted: "Yingchuan Taishou Zhong Xuan visited the king of Yingchuan, but I didn't know that the king of Yingchuan was coming, and he was not welcomed, so please punish the king of Yingchuan." β
I'll go?
Hit the luck today! Why did Zhong Xuan stay in Yingchuan at this time, this is a bit wrong!
Is it the butterfly effect again?
I don't know what uncertain changes are waiting for me in the future......
Zhong Xuan's sudden appearance made Liu Zhan's eyes light up, and he thought a lot for a moment.
"No courtesy."
Zhong Miao got up and saw the edict in Xu Chu's hand, the eye-catching seal came into view, and after a quick glance at the content of the edict, Zhong Miao raised his hand and asked: "King Yingchuan, please insideββ"
Liu Zhan walked into the county mansion, followed Zhong Xuan to an elegant room, and sat down in the main case.
Zhong Miao greeted outside: "Come on, watch the tea." β
After speaking, he came to the right head and took a seat in front of the case, and arched his hand and said, "The minister congratulates the king of Yingchuan." β
"Well, Brother Yuan Chang, how old are you and me, I will call you brother, I won't surprise you, right?" Liu Zhan smiled slightly and said slowly.
"The minister doesn't dare, how dare he be commensurate with the brother of the king of Yingchuan?"
Zhong Xuan stood up and saluted, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes......
Although the king of Yingchuan is young, he is very knowledgeable, I first arrived in Yingchuan, there are not many people who know me, but the king of Yingchuan knows my words, it is really unthinkable, not to underestimate the young man in front of him......
"Hehe, Brother Yuan Chang is talented, this king has admired him for a long time, and I am very relieved to see him today." Liu Zhan said a word like an old pedant according to the usual routine.
"King Xie Yingchuan raises love." Zhong Xuan said.
"Ahem......" Liu Zhan coughed lightly twice and began to get down to business, "Brother Yuan Chang, this king has two things to do. The first is to explain to you the story of Howling Wind Villa. β
"Howling Winds? Is it ......?"
Zhong Xuan was a little stunned, and faintly felt that Liu Zhan was likely to have a great deal to do with the destruction of Howling Wind Villa.
Liu Zhan looked at Zhong Xuan and continued: "Well, yes, it is the evil villa that harmed the people, this king has already leveled their villa yesterday, Brother Yuan Chang, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, just clean up the villa." β
Zhong Xuan was shocked when he heard it! Yingchuan has this king, which is really the blessing of Yingchuan......
"It turned out that Yingchuan eliminated harm for the people, and thanked the king of Yingchuan for the people of Yangzhai!"
Zhong Xuan got up and came to Liu Zhan's case, knelt on the ground, and made a big salute.
"Haha...... With a show of effort, Brother Yuan Chang doesn't have to be like this. Liu Zhan hurriedly got up and helped Zhong Xuan up and motioned for Zhong Xuan to take a seat.
"Before Yingchuan's drive, Miao was still worried about the affairs of Howling Wind Villa, and he thought that Howling Wind Villa was exterminated by another group of people, but he never thought that it was the king of Yingchuan who killed the villains, which was really a blessing for the people of Yingchuan."
"Brother Yuan Chang, are you curious why there is no notice document from the imperial court?"
"......" was said by Liu Zhan, and Zhong Xuan didn't know how to respond for a while.
Liu Zhan was unimpressed, and continued: "This is the king's idea, in order not to disturb the local people, this king asked the court not to announce or publicize, because the states and counties have not received the news that this king has been named a prince. Of course, at the court meeting on the day of the king, the ministers who participated in the court meeting still knew, huh...... Speaking of which, they should have spread the news to the states and counties, but Yuan Chang has not received the relevant news yet. β
"So that's the case, King Yingchuan is dedicated to the people, and the ministers admire it."
Zhong Xuan bowed.
Zhong Xuan's sycophant slapped the corners of Liu Zhan's mouth twitched...... How...... This Zhong Xuan is a little different from what I imagined, he looks like an upright official, how can he talk without compliments, it's really a bit unexpected......
Thinking like this, Liu Zhan said, "Brother Yuan Chang, don't talk about this. Now, let's talk about the second thing, that is, this king has a question: why is there so few soldiers in the county government? The defense of the city is in vain, basically unmanned, what is going on? β
Zhong Xuan stood up and saluted: "Back to the words of the King of Yingchuan, the Yellow Turban is at the beginning of the peace, the Yingchuan Mansion soldiers are not one out of ten, the treasury is empty, and the imperial court has not allocated money and food for a long time, so it has ended up in such a situation." β
Listening to Zhong Xuan's words, Liu Zhan fell into deep thought, and said to himself: "Hmm...... It seems that Liu Hong, this kid is really confused, a good rich county, he has made it look like this. No, Brother Yuan Chang must have reported the situation of Yingchuan to the imperial court, and he Liu Hong would not know? This kid is actually ......"
Liu Zhan scolded secretly and looked at Zhong Xuan: "Brother Yuan Chang, have you ever reported to the imperial court?" β
"No less than five times."
"In this way, Liu Hong, this kid must know the situation in Yingchuan, and I have to clean up your kid when I turn around!"
"Huh?" Zhong Xuan looked stunned, looked at Liu Zhan in disbelief, speechless, but there were earth-shattering waves in his heart......
Liu...... Macro......
Isn't this the emperor's name? Yingchuan turned out to be ......
Liu Zhan didn't care about Zhong Gan's expression at all, he knew what Zhong Xuan was shocked.
Liu Zhan pointed to Xu Chu behind him: "This is Xu Chu, who will be in charge of city defense affairs in the future, and the two of you will get to know each other." β
When the words fell, Xu Chu and Zhong Xuan bowed to each other.
"Yesterday, this king just received 2,000 soldiers, and after more than a month of training, he can take on the matter of city defense. Brother Yuan Chang, if there is anything difficult in the future, even if you open your mouth, this king should also go down, and in addition, the notice will go down: the tax of the whole county will be halved for a period of three years. β
Zhong Miao was not calm, got up and knelt on the ground: "The minister thanked my king for the people of Yingchuan!" My king's house is kind-hearted and cares for the people, which is really the blessing of Yingchuan and the blessing of the people. β
Unconsciously, Zhong Xuan's title to Liu Zhan has undergone a subtle change, from "King of Yingchuan" to "My King".
Liu Zhan heard it clearly, his heart was happy, and he got up and helped Zhong Xuan: "Brother Yuan Chang, you don't have to be like this, you will get along for a long time in the future, it's always like this, what's going on." In this way, let's briefly introduce the situation of Yingchuan County to this king. β
A hint of emotion flashed in Zhong Xuan's eyes, and he slowly returned to his seat and began to introduce Yingchuan County......
