Chapter Seventy-Four: The Empty City Lord
"Nonsense! If everyone was like him winning the junior four, wouldn't the world be in chaos! ”
"Humph! A pariah is a pariah, and there is no decent strategy at all! ”
"How can such a person stand in such a solemn place! He shouldn't have been let in at all! ”
Sure enough, as soon as Ying Xiaosi's words fell, those civil officials suddenly blew up the nest, and the eyes that looked at Ying Xiaosi one by one were as if their ancestral grave had been dug up, and they almost rushed up to skin him alive. However, those generals have no resistance to winning Xiaosi, because this simple and crude approach is very much in line with the minds of these martial artists, in their opinion, force is always much more direct and powerful than those crepe words.
For these attacks, Ying Xiaosi ignored them at all, and stood in the hall generously like a nobody, looking at Ji Wuwu with a very calm gaze, as if pinning all his hopes on King Yan. This made Ji Wuwu suddenly have an illusion, feeling that Ying Xiaosi had surrendered to him, in fact, it was right to think so, a cloth cloth who was unclear about the situation in the court would naturally choose the lord of a country to take refuge, which is the instinct of human beings to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
"Alright, don't talk about it."
Ji Wuwu glanced at Zhu Xi, and opened his mouth lightly, his voice was not loud but full of undoubted majesty, everyone in the hall closed their voices, their eyes drooped slightly, but their ears were raised high, wanting to know if King Yan had made a conclusion.
"These three people are all the pillars of my Dayan, and the strategies of the three people have their own advantages and disadvantages in Lone's opinion, Zhu Wei is good at business, and he can be the finance minister of the Lion City, and all the money and food in the Lion City are in your hands. Cheng Xu is a good soldier, and you are ordered to be the general of the Lion City City Defense, and you can bring 5,000 new troops when you take office. Win the P4 ......"
"The grass people are here."
"Since you have no official status and no qualifications, you should not have been appointed as the city lord of the Lion City, but since you are recommended by Ji Chong, Lone will believe him once and let you temporarily take the position of the city lord, but the ugly words are ahead, Lone will give you a period of three months, if you can restore the Lion City to the state before the rebellion within three months, Lone will count you as passing, if not, then you will be exempted from your official status, and you will be your people honestly."
"Do you have any objections?"
Zhu Wei, who was waiting on the side, couldn't hold back and wanted to speak, in his opinion, the position of the city lord should have been his, and now he was given Ying Xiaosi, how could he be willing, but just as he was about to get out of the ranks, he saw a sharp gaze swept in front of him, and after a closer look, it was his father. But he saw Zhu Xi, the Duke of Zhu Guo, standing up from the soft seat, and said respectfully to Ji Wuwu: "The king's arrangement is extremely appropriate, and the ministers have no objections. ”
"There is no objection from the ministers!"
Seeing that Zhu Guogong took the lead in expressing his attitude, the Zhu officials below also followed suit, and the court instantly unified its caliber, Ying Xiaosi lowered his head and sighed secretly, this Zhu Xi's influence is even stronger than that of Ji Wuwu.
Look at Cheng Xu again, he is the person of King Yan, so naturally he will not object, and Ji Zhong will only be successful as long as he sends Ying Xiaosi to the position of the city lord, and when the goal is achieved at this time, there is nothing to say, although this city lord does not seem to have any real power.
"Okay, since that's the case, then this matter is settled, if it's okay to win Xiaosi, you can retreat."
It's okay? How could it be okay! The financial and military power of this Lion City have been divided by you, and you have made a three-month splint on my head, so it can be said that I have been hollowed out before I take office! Now that you have the opportunity to speak, how can you not take the opportunity to ask for benefits!
"King Qiqi, the grass people have a small request here, and I hope the king will allow it."
"Speak!"
"Since the king has given the grass people a period of three months, the grass people will also do their best to complete the tasks assigned by the king, but no matter how big the grass people are, they are only alone, and the lion city is so big, it is impossible to rectify it by relying on only one person, so the grass people want to ask the king to give the grass people the right to appoint and dismiss personnel."
"Oh?" Ji Wuwu frowned slightly, obviously understood the meaning of Ying Xiaosi's words, he won Xiaosi as the lord of a city, the appointment and dismissal of low-level officials do not need to pass the approval of King Yan, and it can be filed directly after the appointment, it seems that this Ying Xiaosi wants the right to appoint and dismiss senior officials.
"The king shall not be! If the right to appoint and remove is completely in the hands of the winning Xiaosi, what is the status of the royal family! Where is the majesty? This must not be done! ”
It is said that people are old and treacherous, how can Zhu Xi be an ordinary person if he can achieve the position of the prince of the country, as soon as Ying Xiaosi's voice fell, he immediately saw the purpose of winning Xiaosi, if he really let him have such rights, needless to say, as long as Zhu Wei and Cheng Xu arrived in the Lion City, it is estimated that they will be immediately dismissed by Ying Xiaosi!
"King, the grass people don't want to despise the authority of the royal family, nor do they want to target the two benevolent brothers Zhu and Cheng, what the grass people want is to be exempted from the examination of that season, because the grass people are eclectic, and not everyone can make such splendid articles."
Ying Xiaosi played a trick here, he knew that it was impossible for Zhu Xi to let King Yan give him that authority, but he deliberately did not explain it, so that he would have a misunderstanding, and then throw out his true purpose, which not only did not seem abrupt, but also more acceptable.
"Examinee......"
Ji Wuwu glanced at Zhu Xi meaningfully, then nodded and agreed: "Yes, the examination of your Lion City officials can be held on their own, and the results of the examination will be presented directly to King Lone, but don't be complacent about winning Xiaosi, if you let Lone find out that you are cheating, be careful of your head!" ”
"Minister! Command! ”
After going down, Ying Xiaosi honestly followed the flow of people out of the palace gate, and saw the bustling crowd on the street suddenly had a feeling of returning to the red dust, and looked back at the gradually closing palace gate, Ying Xiaosi shook his head and slowly walked towards the direction of the post house.
To tell the truth, this time the court meeting is far from what Ying Xiaosi envisioned, he originally thought that as long as the military power is in hand, it is promising, and he, as a candidate recommended by Ji Chong, can be regarded as a person in the military, and he can always get some real power, but the actual situation is that when the civilian officials unify their voices, even Yan Wang Ji Wuwu has to be treated carefully, as for the military, it has completely become a decoration, and there is not even a person to speak. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you don't blame them, now that there is no war in the four seas, the role of civilian officials is highlighted, after all, governing the country cannot rely on a group of simple-minded warriors alone.
It's really a step behind, and he is passive everywhere, but the first level of the examination can be regarded as hiding from Zhu Xi's hands, if even the lifeblood of the low-level officials is in the hands of the Zhu family, then it is really hopeless for him to win the junior four.
After returning to the inn, Ying Xiaosi locked himself in the house and thought hard about how to break the game, but he counted the existing advantages he had at hand over and over again, and there seemed to be nothing that could be used as a killer weapon, so he wanted to find someone to discuss, but look at the few outside, Ying Xiaosi decisively chose to give up.
"Knock knock."
But the more he scratched his head, the more trouble came, and Ying Xiaosi's head was in a mess, and suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
"Who! Didn't I say it's okay not to bother me! ”
"Fourth brother, it's me, Bai Ning!"
