Chapter 149: The Old Emperor Collapses

In the Imperial Grandson's Mansion, the Imperial Grandson was stunned when he heard the housekeeper come back and say that Shen Jingcheng had left.

This just got promoted and left? So fast?

Didn't he hold a wedding banquet or something when he was promoted?

However, the imperial grandson was not too entangled.

He just didn't expect Shen Jingcheng to be promoted so quickly, and the old emperor took such a fancy to a person and wanted to call him to find out more.

But since the person is gone, let's go.

It's just a small prefect, and sooner or later he will be his official, and when he succeeds to the throne, it's not that he can do whatever he wants Shen Jingcheng to do, he is a dignified imperial grandson, and there is really no need to rush to approach a magistrate.

However, the imperial grandson didn't think there was anything about it, but Song Qingyue was very angry.

Why did you leave? She also wants to be close to Shen Jingcheng, whether it is to send a concubine or silver, she wants to get closer to Shen Jingcheng.

Now her identity outside is very embarrassing, if she also has the relationship of being an official in the imperial court, she may be able to enter the Imperial Grandson's Mansion.

But now, all her plans have come to naught.

A few days later, Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin returned to Yuhe County, and Gu Jin lay on the kang and felt the dry bedding. The hot kang is immediately and comfortably exhaled.

Xiao Youping didn't know what she was doing, so he followed her example and lay next to him, and after a while, when he was bored, he got up to find his gadgets and pulled Gu Jin to play with him.

As for Shen Jingcheng, as soon as he came back, he went to the front county office, and while closing the account books of the past few years with the main book and Jiang Zhengshu, he waited for the new magistrate to hand over the county.

Shen Jingcheng waited in Yuhe County for a month, and it was not until February that the second dragon raised his head, and the new magistrate was late.

Shen Jingcheng and the new magistrate took two days to hand over, and then rushed to the capital of Guide Mansion with Gu Jin, the child, and Jiang Zhengshu.

Originally returned to the prefect of Defu, he only wanted to say a few sarcastic words when he saw Shen Jingcheng, but in the end he held back.

There is no way that the old emperor personally appointed him, no matter how unwilling he is, no matter how unwilling he is, he can't send it out in person.

In fact, the prefect of Guide Mansion was also very aggrieved, just because of the old emperor's words, he was going to a place where there were southern barbarians.

Guide Mansion is just next to the Yellow River and is prone to heavy flooding, but that place can heat people to death in summer, and it is full of miasma, and there are winds and cholera at every turn, and the people in that place live in danger all year round, and one will die if he is not careful.

Shen Jingcheng didn't understand why this person's face was so ugly, but even if he knew, at most he would just mourn for him.

After all, in the three years that he served as the magistrate of Yuhe County, this person had never released kindness to him, so there was no need for him to worry about where this person was going and what the situation was now.

The two of them completed the handover without wind and waves, as soon as the original prefect was handed over, he took his family to the south, and Shen Jingcheng took Gu Jin and Jiang Zhengshu to live in the prefect's yamen

The conditions of the Fucheng Yamen are much better than those of Shen Jingcheng when he went to Yuhe County, but this condition is good, that is, there are a few more houses, and the houses are repaired without his money. As for furniture and stuff, there's not a single thing in the house.

Looking at it like this, the original prefect of Defu can't move the house, and if the house can be moved, this person will probably take the house with him.

Facing this empty room, Shen Jing achieved a feeling. To be an official to the old emperor is really poor.

After taking office, Shen Jingcheng began to busily get to know his subordinates, and at the same time also informed the counties that while spring was not yet in place, let them supervise the people to repair the embankment well, and all the villages near the river should also repair the village dam.

It's life-saving and a necessity for people to live in peace.

And Gu Jin once again bought the shop in the names of Gu Xiu and Fu Yu and opened a grain shop.

The days slipped away quietly like water, and as Guide began to pay attention to the repair of embankments, and then when there was a heavy flood in the rainy season, no one in Guide was finally flooded, and no embankment broke, and the people here did not flee as before.

It's just three years of living and working in peace and contentment, and Guide Mansion seems to have changed.

People can eat enough, no longer have yellow and thin skin, whether it is grain tax or commercial tax, it has risen more than a star and a half, and it has begun to have a thriving appearance.

At the same time, the old emperor's health became worse and worse, and two years later, the old emperor finally failed to hold up the burp.

This was followed by a series of riotous operations after the imperial grandson ascended the throne.

For example, the other sons of the old emperor were not allowed to return to Beijing to mourn the old emperor, overturned the series of measures left behind by the old emperor's killing, cut the feudal domain, and killed the sons of the five old emperors on various charges.

even imagined that he would kill the five vassal kings, prepare to break them all, and issue an edict to let King Ning'an enter Beijing alone.

You must know that the sons of the old emperor are all vassal kings, especially the vassal kings who have been assigned to the frontiers of various places, and they all hold military power and have to go to the battlefield to fight the enemy every year.

They are desperate to protect the country outside, but their nephews want to relieve them of their military power and take their lives, and they can't do anything with brains.

King Ning'an listened to the holy decree of the emperor's grandson.

He wants to go to the capital to mourn the old emperor's father, and now he wants to cut his title, so he will ask him to go to the capital, and let him not bring a soldier or a horse, when he is stupid?

Therefore, every time the imperial grandson issued an order, King Ning'an would make an enemy attack on the frontier, saying that if he did not go to the capital, he would not go to the capital.

I won't listen to you anyway, what's the matter!

Could it be that you still dare to kill me without guilt and namelessness?

has become the emperor's imperial grandson, and he really doesn't dare to kill King Ning'an without guilt and namelessness.

If he dares to do this, it is estimated that his imperial uncles who guard the frontier can turn against him, so can he, the emperor, do it?

You must know that the old emperor has twenty or thirty sons, and there are more than ten of them who have military power to guard the frontiers everywhere.

And at this time, Shen Jingcheng had been in office for another three years, but this time he returned to Beijing to report on his work, Shen Jingcheng did not take Gu Jin and Xiao Youping again, but the two of them returned to Qingzhou Mansion with Jiang Zhengshu.

First, Gu Jin didn't like the winter in the capital. Second, the emperor's grandson had too many operations, and he was afraid that Gu Jin and the child would be angry.

In this way, Gu Jin took Xiao Youping and Jiang Zhengshu back to Shenjia Village, and Shen Jingcheng handed over the affairs in Fucheng to other officials in Fucheng, and rushed to the capital by himself.

On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Shen Jingcheng rushed to the capital to the official department on the deadline, and after going to the official department, he went back to the courtyard of the capital.
