Chapter 481: Abuse of power
While speaking, Yulan had already arrived at my house, and as soon as she saw me, she knelt down at me and said, "Yulan meets the county lord An Ying, the county lord Yu'an!" β
"Well, I only know that Lord An Ying doesn't even care about my father." King Ryan said unhappily.
Yulan saluted King Ruian again, and said: "Don't be surprised, father, my daughter just misses the county lord, and she is worried about her brother and sister studying and learning calligraphy here, so I want to come and have a look!" β
"Well, good, your brothers and sisters are always here, and even your father is cold, do you want to talk to them, let them take their father with you, okay?" Ryan Wang laughed.
"Good!"
As soon as Yulan came, the father and daughter naturally wanted to eat at my place, so I could only order the kitchen to cook two more dishes, so as not to wait for a while.
Before he finished eating, Wang Xi came over and said: "Lord, someone from the palace came to look for the prince, saying that there are bandits in the suburbs of Beijing, which is very disturbing to the people, and it has reached the level of harming people's lives. Jingzhao Yamen is busy, and he can't spare manpower to suppress the bandits, I don't know if the prince can clean them up? β
King Ryan is unhappy, and my heart is like a mirror, this Zhengyu is really getting more and more excessive, not only guarding against King Ryan, but also wanting King Ryan to help him do more, wanting the horses to work, and not giving the horses grazing.
So I said, "Are the people in the palace gone?" If you don't leave, you can tell him that I, Lu Fengying, am willing to take over this errand, but if I want Lu Jiajun to dispatch, I must be paid enough, and I will set a fee standard for Ming'er, 500 taels of silver for suppressing bandits, and 1,000 taels for quelling chaos. Is this gang of bandits you just said powerful? If it's an ordinary bandit, five hundred taels is enough, but if there are more people and the mess is bigger, I'll have to charge one thousand taels. If there are any other messy errands, I will also sit at the price of the mark. This seems to be very similar to the practice of your dart bureau here, in the harvest year, we will open a dart game tomorrow, according to the general dart board fee standard, make a price list, lest Your Majesty say that we bully people. β
Wang Xi almost didn't cry, but Zhengyu asked King Ruian to discuss his ideas, why did he come to me and listen to it like casual nonsense?
Unexpectedly, King Ruian really took my words seriously, and said to Wang Xi: "You ask someone to write an excerpt according to the words of the county lord and hand it to Your Majesty, see what he says, if it works, it will be decided, your dart game is my share, and it is also a royal errand, and it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against the big tree, but you said this." β
After Zhengyu in the palace saw this excerpt, he silently hid in a no-man's corner and drew circles, cursing me and King Ryan choking on eating, choking on water, walking with stones, and tripping over the threshold when going out, anyway, bad luck is right.
However, there is a need to take the opportunity to blackmail, and the bandits must be seriously suppressed, I want to participate in it, and King Ryan can't ignore it, so it became me taking the child to play in the suburbs, he took people around to surround and suppress, and when we had enough to go home, he also cleaned up the bandits almost, and followed back with him.
After two days, Zhengyu had a new trick to toss us, a prefect of Lanzhou was a troubled party, as if he had become a local emperor of Lanzhou, and in recent years, some of them have not been controlled by the imperial court, so he sent King Ruian to visit, as long as the evidence of his guilt was confirmed, he was removed from office on the spot, which is equivalent to the minister of the Qincha.
When King Ryan heard this, he said on the spot: "The minister has no real power in his hands, even if he has the power in his hands, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, and the prefect is categorically unwilling to be captured, and please give the minister a little military power, if the prefect resists, the minister will have the power to fight back." β
Zhengyu said with some embarrassment: "This fourth brother γγγ, I can't help it, now I can send all the soldiers in my hand, not to mention the soldiers and horses in the place, I can't move at will, if there is an incident in other places, there must be a large army to suppress the formation." The soldiers and horses of Lanzhouγγγ Oh, I know, I must have been bought by the prefect, what can I do? β
King Ruian was embarrassed, hesitated for a while and said: "It's better to be like this, the minister asks Your Majesty for personal favors, and asks Your Majesty to give an order, so that the county lord of Anying will temporarily hand over the command of the Lu family army in her hand to the minister, and wait for the minister to calm down the affairs of Lanzhou, and then return the command to the county lord of Anying, what does Your Majesty think?" β
Zhengyu nodded again and again, and said: "If you say that in addition to the regular troops, the only one who can make a difference is the Lu Jiajun, but the county lord of An Ying may not be willing to hand over his lifeline to you?" β
"Then how about letting the county lord of An Ying go to Lanzhou with his ministers?" King Ryan asked shamelessly.
Zhengyu also had this intention, so he said: "Then it's decided, come here, and plan the purpose!" β
I followed King Ruian to Lanzhou with an unhappy face, fortunately, the scenery of Lanzhou is not bad, the customs are very distinctive, I treat it as a tourist to play, and let King Ruian solve it himself, it's not hard, it's just this feeling of being usedγγγ Ouyang Zhengyu, King Ruian, you wait for me!" Hum!
And in the palace, Zheng Jin said a little worriedly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that with the temper of the county lord An Ying, knowing that you are calculating her like this, you will definitely find a way to retaliate, will you and the fourth brother be able to withstand it when the time comes?" β
Zhengyu smiled treacherously and said, "If you don't give them some chance to get along, where can they get back together?" After all, Ping'er and the county lord of Changning are still young and can't figure out tricks, so they have to rely on those of us who are uncles to help them think of more ways. Don't worry, even if the county lord An Ying is a little petty and calculates us, she won't really let us lose anything, she has the people of the world in her heart. β
"You have worked so hard to match them, if the county lord appreciates it, it's fine, if you don't appreciate it, hehe, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes." Zhengjin was a little afraid to agree with Zhengyu's thoughts.
Zhengyu didn't take it seriously at all, anyway, he was determined that I wouldn't do anything to him, and he was proud there.
And after I came back, I didn't feel particularly angry on the surface, and I was very plain and thankful. But three months later, in the harem draft, I went to be a judge as the county lord, and I still abused my power a little, and selected a few arrogant and domineering women, even if I repaid Zhengyu for reusing me.
When Zhengyu took the final list and wanted to select the first queen and two concubines from it, he wanted to cry even more without tears, why? Why is this happening? What about the gentle and virtuous good woman who said yes? What about the people he had planned for himself? Why was it crossed out?
Zhengyu shook the booklet in his hand and cried and said, "Sister, I was wrong!" β
