Chapter 62: Social Animals
Zhao Shenlu's resignation announcement unsurprisingly detonated the entire Xiangzhou again.
"What?! She resigned!? ”
"Damn, she's sick, isn't she!? Finally rescued by someone and resigned the next day? Is she terminally ill and dying? ”
"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible! It must be fake news, you can't deceive me, come on, drag that bastard who sent the frontline express out and behead me! ”
On the morning of May 1, the diplomatic teams of many wealthy families felt a sense of despair that the world was collapsing.
Looking at the XX draft of the "Congratulatory Letter to Congratulate Zhao Shenlu on the Return of the City Lord" that had just been revised, and then looking at the Jinyu Express that had just been sent to the table, the penmen in these diplomatic teams really couldn't help but have the urge to hang themselves.
And a few elite pens with strong practical ability directly turned their impulses into reality, collected the hair that fell out of the desk because they were rushing to the manuscript all night, twisted it into a thick rope, and put it on the beam, and found a short-term view.
It's no wonder that these pen sticks are weak-willed, but the recent political turmoil in Jin Yucheng is too torturous, in just a few days, the wind and clouds have changed, and there have been twists and turns.
In the past 20 years, Zhao Shenlu has suppressed more coups than the goddess's spare tire, and everyone is really used to it, so at the first time, the pens of the major families drove out impassioned documents all night long, severely condemning a small number of people with ulterior motives for vainly trying to subvert the Jinyu regime and shake the political order of Xiangzhou set by the Holy Sect...... Anyway, this kind of article that beats the water dogs only makes money and doesn't lose money.
However, before these articles were finalized and published, news came from the front that the coup was serious! Zhao Shenlu often walks by the river, and finally gets wet! Golden Jade City is really about to change!
For a while, the major families hastily withdrew their documents and began to wait and see what happened, waiting for the final conclusion of the situation.
And during this period, the pen stickers naturally cannot be idle, and articles of both the pros and cons must be prepared.
If Zhao Shenlu finally gets out of trouble, then it is natural to have a congratulatory text, and at the same time, he must also reissue the previous solicitation document.
If Zhao Shenlu is finally completely suppressed and Zhao Hongwu and others officially come to power, then of course, they will issue a message to congratulate Jin Yuren on making the right choice, and at the same time, it is necessary to make minor adjustments to the many agreements signed during Zhao Shenlu's reign to adapt to the changes of the times......
These official articles are related to the dealings between the major families and Jinyucheng, and they are of great importance, so they must be carefully considered and revised repeatedly until they are perfect. And anyone who has ever drafted a similar manuscript knows that until perfection is until the last minute of the deadline.
Therefore, in the ten days before the public trial conference, the days of various pens can be described as poor as pigs and dogs...... And when I saw that this quagmire was finally about to come to an end, there was such bad news!
No matter how time-tested the mind is, it can't resist this kind of repeated blows, just like no matter how reserved you are, you can't resist the piston movement like piling. It is only reasonable for the penmen to break down and commit suicide because of this......

Qingyun City, the Li family's compound.
The woman surnamed Lu, who is in charge of the highest power of one of the seven great families in Xiangzhou, worked hard to cheer up her own writing team: "Jinglun, I know that you have led the team to write the manuscript in the past few days, and it has been very hard, but the situation has changed, I can only bother you to work harder, change the manuscript again, and congratulate Zhao Shenlu on setting things right, and at the same time praise her Gao Fengliangjie who bravely retreated from the rapids, and then congratulate Zhao Hongxue on succeeding as the city lord......"
Li Jinglun, who was recruited to be a strong man more than ten days ago, bleed from his eyeballs on the spot: "The surname is Lu, you want my life!" I started intermittent diarrhea three days ago, started a herniated lumbar disc two days ago, and started vomiting blood yesterday, you still want me to work overtime to revise the draft!? You might as well just let me die! ”
Lu Xin smiled beside him: "Look at what you said, how can human life be so fragile, it's just vomiting blood, and you can't die." Come, this is the nourishing soup I asked the kitchen to cook for you overtime, this is a high-energy compressed food, this is a fast-acting heart-saving pill, and there is a refreshing tea, a soul-rejuvenating fragrance......"
Li Jinglun looked at Lu Xin's carefully prepared magical package "I want you to add 3000", and only felt that he was as miserable as an animal in a corral.
However, seeing the quick report from ahead, Li Jinglun also understood Lu Xin's distress.
This article, I really can't change it if I don't want to. Jinyucheng is no more demanding than other places, and the requirements for this kind of official documents are very strict, and if the letter sent is not particular enough, it will be regarded as not respectful enough by the Jinyu people.
And this habit was cultivated during the reign of Zhao Shenlu.
The maverick lord of the castle, because he was impatient with ordinary diplomatic work, asked the envoys of other cities or families to come to visit the door less often, and if there was a problem, he tried to use official documents to communicate with each other.
If you can solve it by letter, don't come to visit - unless there is a beautiful girl in the envoy group who can make Zhao Shenlu look at him without disgust.
And Zhao Shenlu's requirements for letters are particularly high, and the standards are strict, as if they were pranks. Any omissions in the writing and inaccuracies in the ideology will be discovered by Zhao Shenlu as soon as possible and announced in public, becoming a diplomatic scandal. For more than ten years, the official documents sent to Jinyucheng must have been treated with the highest standards by all sects and factions.
Now it is a sensitive period for the transfer of power in Jin Yucheng, although Zhao Shenlu abdicated, he is still active, so ordinary people really dare not show the slightest neglect to Jin Yucheng at this time, and even be more rigorous than usual.
If it weren't for this, with Li Jinglun and Lu Xin's many years of friendship, they would not have been asked to do this kind of livestock-like work.
"Alas, I know, I'll risk my life to fight again, when will the deadline?"
Lu Xin was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's okay before noon." ”
"Isn't it already 11 o'clock!?" Li Jinglun scolded, rolled up the three thousand on the table, and strode out of the door.
There is only 1 hour left before the deadline, and the conventional method of rushing the manuscript must be too late, so I have no choice but to use a special office chair to stimulate the consciousness in the form of overclocking, and stretch the hour ten times to work overtime.
——
An hour later, Li Jinglun appeared in front of Lu Xin like an air-dried vegetable, his once poetic round cheeks were deeply sunken, his smooth black hair also became dry and gray, and alopecia areata appeared on the Tianling cover.
In just one hour, it seems to span more than twenty years.
"The manuscript you want."
Li Jinglun said coldly, and threw the two pages of manuscript paper to Lu Xin.
Although it is only two thin pages, it has a lot of effort, and the used scratch paper alone is enough to fill a study.
In the past hour, Li Jinglun was like fighting a fierce battle like a meat grinder. He led the drafting team, 5 people vomited blood on the spot during overclocking, 3 people stopped beating, and 1 person was brain dead......
Lu Xin was also relieved when he saw the manuscript.
The matter is finally over...... There is Li Jinglun, a writer who is quite famous in the entire Xiangzhou, and the result of such a painstaking struggle should be enough to win the first place among many congratulatory letters - the only competitor is the congratulatory letter from Shencheng Sanshengshi. The reputation of the academic community, Sanshengshi is far better than Li Jinglun, but romance is completely different from Kumon, in the field of Kumon, Li Jinglun, who has helped Li Fengyun and Lu Xin ghostwrite many times, has authoritative professional quality.
However, just when Lu Xin was about to sign his name, stamp Li Fengyun's seal, and send the congratulatory letter to Jinyucheng.
"Mother, a new letter has been sent!"
A little boy with a tiger's head and a tiger brain ran in with a letter from the front line of Jinyu City.
"No frost? How are you? What about the person in charge of delivering the message? ”
Li Wushuang said innocently: "Brother Ping gave me two pieces of candy and asked me to help him deliver the letter. ”
Lu Xin took the letter, only glanced at it, his face changed in an instant, and then he looked at Li Jinglun with a complicated gaze.
No wonder that guy didn't dare to deliver the letter in person, indeed, there was a moment just now, he really wanted to behead the person who delivered the letter......
On the other side, Li Jinglun also took a deep breath, and an ominous premonition as if the end was about to rise in his heart.
"What's wrong again?"
"Frontline news." Lu Xin said, "Half an hour after Zhao Hongxue took over the position of city lord, he announced his abdication and transferred the position of city lord to Zhao Hongwu, who once served as the head of the provisional government......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Jinglun was already furious: "Fuck Jin Yucheng!" I tucked their ancestors ......"
Before he finished speaking, he only heard the muffled sound of a blood vessel bursting, Li Jinglun's eyes rolled and he fell soft.
——
Similar tragedies continue to be staged in all corners of Xiangzhou.
On May 1, the political turmoil in Jin Yucheng can be called a pen killer, and this repeated incident during the day has caused the official document teams of the major forces in Xiangzhou to suffer unprecedented heavy blows.
At noon, Zhao Hongxue announced that he officially took over the position of the lord of Jinyu City, thanked Zhao Shenlu for his love and value, and then changed the conversation, without even mentioning his own governance program, he frankly said that because of the aging of the years, he no longer has enough talent to rule Jinyu City, and is willing to abdicate and give the position of city lord to Zhao Hongwu, the head of the provisional government who once handed over smoothly, and said that this transfer of power has been recognized by Zhao Shenlu himself.
In the afternoon, Zhao Hongwu issued a statement, thanking Zhao Shenlu for his tolerance and generosity, deeply reviewing his mistakes, saying that he was guilty of a lot of sins and was no longer qualified to touch the throne of the city lord. Of course, as a sinner, he didn't dare to disobey the will of the two former city lords, even if he couldn't take charge of the Golden Jade City, he could only bow down and die...... But not long ago, he went crazy in practice, seriously injured the Yuan Shen, and was no longer able to perform his duties normally, so in desperation, he could only return the position of city lord to Zhao Hongxue.
In less than half an hour, Zhao Hongxue was not to be outdone and said that she was also crazy, and to a deeper extent, she suffered from split personality, and it was completely impossible to perform the duties of the city lord, so the position of the city lord should be another one!
