King Lu Yang is the brother of His Majesty today, and naturally the brother of the former Emperor.

When the first emperor ascended the throne, he was named King of Luyang.

His fiefdom at that time, there was no Yanghu, only Lushan and Yangjiang, after he arrived, his majesty the emperor, said that the river below is affected by disasters every year, since he was enclosed here, for the benefit of the people, asked the imperial court to draw special funds, build a flood control dam, His Majesty the emperor issued a holy decree to praise him, pull out a million taels of silver, rectify the disaster.

What did King Lu Yang do?

Invite a master cultivator at a high price, move mountains with a sword, and turn them into dams.

This incident also alarmed His Majesty at the time, but His Majesty only laughed it off.

After all, using migrant workers to build a dam is essentially the same as asking a cultivator to move a mountain with a sword, and no one pursues this matter.

During the reign of the first emperor, this Yanghu Lake really brought blessings to the local people.

There is no such thing as getting stuck and collecting water bills at all.

But after the death of the first emperor, King Lu Yang changed his face, and now His Majesty turned a blind eye to this, which led to this step of the field......

Lin Su's heart was tumbling......

There is a good saying, the root of things in the rivers and lakes is often in the court.

King Luyang scourged Nanshan Mansion, and the root cause was the royal family.

He dared to do such nonsense, presumably he was also one of the heroes of His Majesty's seizure of the throne back then, as a prince, he helped His Majesty ascend the throne, and His Majesty reciprocated and acquiesced in his misdeeds.

Your Majesty has done too much of this kind of thing.

Osumi helped him take the throne, he acquiesced to Osumi occupying the four towns, no, I'm afraid it's not tacit approval on Osumi's side, it's explicit!

Ding Jiye made suggestions for him to seize the throne, and he acquiesced to Ding Jiye's enclosure in Sanping County, and his family monopolized forty percent!

King Luyang probably also helped him, so he acquiesced to King Luyang's collection of water bills, and stuck the neck of Nanshan Mansion for nearly ten years!

"Adults watching Yanghu live today, I guess I have some brains." He Xingong said: "But please forgive the lower officials for not listening to what they say, the king of Luyang has deep roots, and there is still the prince behind him, and it is almost impossible for the adults to deal with him." ”

"Almost impossible? Isn't there a chance to do that? Lin Su laughed: "Lord He, you have such confidence in this mansion, it is quite rare!" ”

He Xingong's face was very entangled, do I have confidence in you?

Isn't it good to tell the truth at all?

That's a kind word for me......

The two got up in the air and went to Qingtian County.

In a few moments, you will enter a small village.

This small village, with 100 households, is antique and primitive.

The fields are surrounded by the periphery, the thatched huts are built into the hillside, and the chickens and dogs are crowing, but it is also peaceful.

When asked about Cao Li, the villagers were very enthusiastic, and several old people took the initiative to stand up and lead them there.

Along the way, they also enthusiastically introduced the Cao prefect to the two literati masters - the former prefect (Lin Su and He Xingong did not wear official uniforms, they only wore ordinary scribe clothes, even if they were ordinary literati, they were still big names in the eyes of the villagers).

In their mouths, it is a different Cao Li.

What they emphatically show is that this Cao Daru from their village has a noble character, does not collude with the government, has a dark officialdom, resigns and retires to the countryside, and is a famous man in the world.

When the world's famous people are in their dictionary, they are actually very simple, they have no greed, no evil deeds, and they do not oppress the people, and they are the famous people in the mouths of the people, and they are worthy of praise.

It is a matter of character over and over again, and it naturally has another interpretation in Lin Su's ears.

These villagers searched their stomachs and listed his deeds, but they all stayed at the moment when he resigned, or the time period when he was the prefect, and what happened after he resigned and went into hiding, without mentioning half a sentence.

The villagers didn't mention this, only one explanation, that he hadn't done anything since he went into hiding.

He has nothing but being an official and a scholar.

Now that he is gone, and no one asks him for advice, he is really nothing.

There is a hillside in front, a small courtyard, a hut, and it is very elegant to be close to the mountain spring in the back mountain, which may be the difference between this Confucian and ordinary villagers.

"Madam, is Mr. Cao here?" The old man who was traveling with him craned his neck and shouted upward.

The crepe tone of this article made Lin Su quite uncomfortable.

An elderly woman stuck her head out of the fence: "Who...... Ah, He...... He, sir! ”

Her voice rose abruptly, obviously taken aback.

She is the former prefect's wife, and she has naturally met the high-ranking officials in the prefect's mansion a few times, and He Xingong is one of the people she knows best, because He Xingong was originally the prefect's most trusted subordinate.

The husband resigned and went into hiding, and there were only seven or eight people in the entire Nanshan officialdom to send her husband, among which the leader was He Xingong.

Therefore, in the eyes of the former prefect's wife, as long as He Xingong comes, he is a VIP.

She greeted her in person, and took a girl who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the two of them ran downhill in coarse clothes, and they were about to kneel down on one knee......

He Xingong hurriedly waved his hand and stopped with Wen Daowei: "Old lady, I regard Master Cao as an official teacher, and you are my master, don't be polite, Xingong will say hello to my master!" ”

In turn, he gave a salute first.

The old woman's eyes were hot all of a sudden: "Lord He is so polite, how can the old body bear it?" This ......"

Her gaze moved to Lin Su.

"This is the new Nanshan Governor Lord Lin!"

As soon as He Xingong introduced this, everyone was stunned......

Such a young scribe, everyone always thought that he was a disciple or retinue of He Xin Palace, but they didn't expect it to be the newly appointed prefect.

Open! For a moment, the villagers behind Lin Su knelt on the ground.

"Lord Prefect!"

"Lord Prefect!"

"The old man has seen the prefect...... "The old lady also bowed down immediately, but Lin Su also stretched out her hand, and she still couldn't bow.

Lin Su raised his eyes: "Madame, don't be polite, don't be polite to all the villagers, I, Lin Su, admire the official character of Master Cao, and I came to see him today in my private capacity." ”

As soon as these words came out, in the courtyard above, an old man lying on his side on the stone bar suddenly opened his eyes.

Lin Su walked into the small courtyard and saw Cao Li.

Cao Li, about half a hundred years old, dressed in a coarse cloth robe with slightly white hair, stood under the acacia tree in the courtyard.

Lin Su took three steps forward, and Cao Li also took three steps.

"Pastoral rotten wood Cao Li, I have seen the prefect!"

"Haining Lin Su, I've seen Mr. Cao!"

"But the first grandmaster of Qinglian, Lin Su, the Great Cangzhuang Yuanlang?"

"Don't dare! Exactly under it! ”

Cao Li's eyes flashed: "When the old man left office, he also thought about who would come to take over the bad situation of Nanshan, but he never expected that it would be Lord Lin who came." ”

"You probably wouldn't have thought that on the second day of the new prefect's arrival, he would come to invite you to go out of the mountain!"

As soon as Lin Su's words came out, not to mention Cao Li, not to mention Cao Li's wife and daughter, even He Xingong was taken aback.

At the beginning of the departure, Lin Su only said that he was visiting Cao Li, but he never said that he would ask Cao Li to come out of the mountain!

In his cognition, Cao Li would never be able to go out of the mountain.

If he doesn't do what the prefect says, how can he re-serve in other positions in the prefect's office?

As soon as he came out of the mountain, he would immediately become a joke by taking advantage of the wave of literati dividends brought by his resignation (fame and fortune are excellent literary names, and literary names are dividends for literati).

】

Whether it's in the literary world or in the political world, you will die of laughter, aren't you Cao Li known as fame and fortune? After a few months of going home, you can't live a poor life? Baba is seeking a new prefect and getting another errand?

In this case, he really doesn't need money to buy it, how can he, a Qing Gao literati, afford it?

Cao Li's face immediately changed: "Why did Lord Lin say this? The old decay has returned to the countryside, how can it come out of the mountain again? ”

Lin Sutang smiled: "Mr. Cao, when you returned to the countryside, didn't you leave a famous sentence that shocked the world?" Remember how to say it? ”

Cao Li's face was full of black anger, the so-called exposing people does not reveal shortcomings, you know that my famous sentence has become a joke, no one dares to come to me to learn at all, but I mentioned it in person, what do you mean?

"You want to use your life's learning to teach the children of Nanshan, step into officialdom in the future, and calm the chaos in Nanshan!" Lin Su said: "However, today, you should also understand that your grand plan is a mirror after all!" ”

Cao Li's face sank: "The prefect came to the door today, just to laugh at the old decay?" ”

The voice was low and muffled.

The girl who had just crossed the threshold with the tea trembled, and the tea almost spilled over.

Lin Su said: "How dare you! I came to the door today, just to tell Master Cao that you don't need to wait for the children of Nanshan to grow up slowly, and the great changes in Nanshan have begun. ”

Cao Li's eyes locked firmly on Lin Su, and the air was completely frozen: "It's already started?" ”

"Exactly! Lin Su is the prefect of Nanshan, Nanshan will be turned upside down, if Lord Cao is willing to go out of the mountain, Yu Lin is the icing on the cake, Lord Cao is unwilling to go out of the mountain, and there is no change in the situation of Nanshan, but Lord Cao will leave regrets and miss this wonderful event. ”

Cao Li stared at Lin Su: "The southern mountains are turned upside down...... How to translate it? ”

"The first step has been completed, last night, all 48 Nanshan bureaucrats headed by Du Tiangao were dismissed, and all the seven counties and county orders were dismissed!"

Cao Li's whole body was shaken......

Staring at Lin Su's eyes, they were all in disbelief......

Is this true?

On that day, he was appointed as the prefect, and the biggest difficulty was that he was firmly locked by this official website, and his instructions were changed beyond recognition if he couldn't get out of the prefect's mansion, Du Tiangao and these people controlled Nanshan Mansion and completely hollowed him out, things that were in line with their interests, they did it faster than anyone else, and things that were not in their interests, they didn't implement them, and if you pushed it, they rebounded, causing him to serve as the prefect for more than two years and achieve nothing.

He hated them, but he couldn't deal with them.

Because they have Zhizhou Cao Fang behind them! and King Lu Yang openly and secretly covering them.

Their black hands are everywhere, all the whole government, in the counties, all the lines, all their people are in charge, even in the government, he always feels the threat of death.

He withdrew from the officialdom, although he was persecuted by hundreds of clan elders, but the bigger reason was that he was in the officialdom and did not do anything well.

Now, the new prefect told him that as soon as he took office, he stabbed the most sensitive officialdom, no, this is not a knife, this is directly overturning the entire Nanshan officialdom.

"Don't doubt Lord Cao!" He Xingong stepped forward, took the tea in the girl's hand, sent it to the two adults who were like fighting cocks, and added: "What Lord Lin said is true, last night, there was a big earthquake in Nanshan officialdom!" ”

Cao Li took a deep breath and slowly stretched his gaze to the sky: "Lord Lin's wrist strength is beyond the reach of old decay!" What do you want the old man to do? ”

"An earthquake, the officialdom is empty, the mansion doesn't know who is still available in Nanshan, and I want Lord Cao to go out of the mountain to serve as a master and guide the mansion."
