During Lu Chen's tenure as the governor of the two states, what he did in Yu and Sui was undoubtedly a great act of kindness for the local people to save the people from fire and water.

Whether it is opening a warehouse to release grain, or abolishing the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes imposed by the local government privately, or exempting them from labor at the beginning, sending Yu and Sui Erzhou guards to the dam area to control the water.

As well as the follow-up uninterrupted condolences to the people's suffering, effectively solve the problems of people's livelihood, retry unjust and wrongful cases, crack down on bullies and heroes, return the plundered land, and the land that can no longer find the owner will be returned to the government, and then leased to the people at a very low rent.

Moreover, before he suddenly left office, he also sent his disciples to various places to continue his various good governance, so that people would not go to politics, so that the people could truly feel the meaning of the existence of the government.

These good deeds that let the people get tangible benefits one by one, coupled with someone's secret and hard publicity, for a while, Lu Chen became a great sage of ten thousand Buddhas in the two states.

He is a peerless warrior sent by God to save the suffering people of Limin!

Prestige is unrivaled for a while.

As soon as Fang Yu and others arrived, they were able to easily gain the support of some of the people, and then they were able to smoothly implement various benevolent policies.

But what is more is Lu Chen's increasingly terrifying popularity in the two states.

The secret propaganda, coupled with the fact that the people who benefited from Lu Chen's various feats became tap water, spontaneously spread the praises of hundreds of thousands of immortal tablets.

This phenomenal popularity has greatly benefited Fang Yu and the other temporary county magistrates, and even Liyue and the others, who have chased ducks to the shelves, have actually made this parent official impressive in a short period of time.

But as the saying goes, there are gains and losses, and the people who were originally poor and desperately struggling on the line of survival will benefit, and some people's interests will inevitably suffer.

After all, Lu Chen is not silver, and it is impossible for everyone to love him.

His good governance of the people of the two states was a disaster for the gentry and wealthy families.

Or even a catastrophe!

How much the people love the government and how much they love Lu Chen, those wealthy gentry who originally relied on sucking the blood of the people and growing the fortunes of the country have a deep hatred for Lu Chen.

Of course, not all of the big clans are sucking the blood of the people, but the life of the real Jishan family has not been affected too much, and it will not be implicated in the empty warehouse case.

How to live or how to live.

And those who are accustomed to making quick money have a real hatred for Lu Chen.

For example, at this time, the father and son of the wealthy family in Huxian County.

Seeing the hatred in his father's eyes, Wu Liang immediately felt empathy.

After all, who doesn't have a relative who has been exiled for thousands of miles because of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen's sin is simply indescribable.

But life has to go on, and no matter how much you hate it, the problems that should be solved in front of you must be solved as soon as possible.

"Father, since the dog official took office, dozens of tenant farmers in our family have surrendered their rents one after another."

He frowned tightly and said in a deep voice:

"Now that spring ploughing is imminent, most of our family's land is uncultivated, and if it goes on like this, even if we go into battle together, it will be difficult to have a harvest this year."

"And the dog official also sold the grain that Lu Chen had stolen from King Yu and other big clans at a low price like he didn't want money, so that the grain merchants in Yu and Sui couldn't sell a grain of rice during this time."

"I heard that the guy also plans to learn from the dog official surnamed Fang in Ping County, and in the name of the government, he will sell part of the proceeds to recruit businessmen to invest in the construction of Huimin cloth villages, Huimin medicine stores, and Huimin restaurants."

Syllable!

Before he finished speaking, Wu Lao slammed the table.

"Compete with the people! This is a competition with the people!! ”

"These goddamn warriors are so lawless! If we don't drive these dog officials out of Yuzhou as soon as possible, and return Yuzhou to a bright future, my Wu family's hundreds of years of inheritance will definitely be destroyed in the hands of these thieves! ”

Wu Liang nodded approvingly.

"Yes, this dog official is just like the thief surnamed Lu, since she took office, all aspects have shaken the foundation of our big clan, if she is allowed to do anything nonsense, no matter how big Yuzhou is, there will be no place for me to stand!"

"You can't sit still."

Boom!

With a crisp sound, the walnut that emitted a glimmer in Wu Lao's hand shattered in response.

He threw away the walnut fragments in his hand, and said coldly at the same time: "Now it is time for us to wait for the life and death of the famous families in Yuzhou, either those dog officials will die, or we will die." ”

Hearing this, Wu Liang's expression suddenly turned grim.

"Father, now almost the entire county government is a supporter of land thieves, and each of those dog officials is from a martial arts background, all of them are highly skilled, and even thousands of Yu Wangwei can't stop their attack, it's ridiculously strong, and ordinary means can't help them at all."

"As long as she's a human being, sooner or later she'll have weaknesses."

Wu Lao stroked his long beard and said indifferently: "As long as she has a weakness, we can solve her." ”

Hearing this, Wu Liang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Father has a clever plan?" ”

Wu Lao shook his head with an unfathomable expression.

"There is no point in solving a lackey under the door, there is no Liyue in Huxian, there will be Li Yue, Zhao Yue will be airborne in Huxian."

Hearing this, Wu Liang thought for a moment, then nodded helplessly.

"What my father said was, what are we going to do?"

"We need to start from the root cause of solving the problem."

Wu Lao's eyes were full of coldness.

He stood up slowly, then walked to the windowsill with his hands in his hands, looked at the drowsy sky outside the window, and after a while slowly spoke, he continued:

"There is no doubt that those dog officials are all Lu Dang, as long as Lu Chen's dog thief is in the future, they will always be lawless and do evil in Yu and Sui Prefectures, so. We must find a way to bring down that land thief! ”

"If he doesn't fall, the wealthy families of the two states, and even the wealthy families of the world, will never have peace!"

Hearing this, Wu Liang couldn't help but be a little entangled.

"Father, that land thief is deeply favored by His Majesty, and he is in the middle of the court, how can he be so easy to overthrow? Even King Yu and Lord Zhao died in the hands of the land thieves one after another, how can I help him? ”

"Not necessarily."

Wu Lao smiled coldly.

"The temple of Yuzhou is small, so naturally he can't stop the dragon crossing the river who is holding the sword of the human emperor, but Luo Jing is the center of the world where countless people have gathered, and almost all the smart people and people with lofty ideals in the world are gathered in the temple.

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "There must be countless righteous people in the court who are gearing up to bring this guy down, in order to set things right and restore peace to the world, but they haven't found a good entry point for the time being." ”

"And the old man and the major clans in the two states have the opportunity to find this entry point for them!"

Hearing this, Wu Liang suddenly perked up, and excitement gradually appeared in his eyes.

"Father, what are we going to do now?"

"Gather momentum first."

Wu Lao turned around, looked at his son, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and ordered: "Liang'er, go and prepare the famous thorn." ”

"Yu and Sui Erzhou, it's not just my Wu family who is deeply affected by land thieves."

Just when the dark tide of Yu and Sui was surging.

In Luojing, there is a picture of celebration.

Eradicating the demon queen's henchmen, which is a great threat to the current Great Xia Empire, is undoubtedly a great thing for the empress and the imperial court.

Even after the triumphal ceremony, there is still a light atmosphere in the early dynasty.

After the routine worship ceremony, a eunuch who was specially responsible for reading the holy decree stood up, and then, under the curious eyes of the ministers, loudly announced the rewards for Lu Chen, the Holy King of Cangming, and Gu Simiao.

The Cangming Saint King has nothing to say.

Since he is a prince himself, and he is also a special existence above the prince of Yipin, to put it mildly, the holy king can even be on an equal footing with the emperor.

Therefore, in addition to the original Tianzhu Kingdom, the empress directly added him the title of Taishi.

has become a real top official above 10,000 people under one person.

The honors of various top officials such as the Kaifu Yi and the Third Division were directly filled.

In this regard, the ministers naturally didn't dare to let go of a fart.

The current situation, and even the whole world, was taken back by the Holy King of Cangming to help the empress, and the current authority of the empress is almost all from the Holy King.

His merits are incomparable, and even if he is given a high honor, he deserves it.

What's more, if the Holy King really rebelled, who could stop him?

Except for Lu Chen, who would dare to stop him?

Is it really the power of the saint who can compete head-on with the Great Xia at its peak is an ornament?

Legally, it can't be stopped, and in terms of strength, there is no chance of winning.

At this time, standing up against it is purely looking for death, so naturally no one dares to speak out.

After the Holy King received the decree of thanksgiving, it was the turn of Gu Simiao, the first meritorious officer.

The matter of the barren state was almost completed by Gu Simiao's own strategy.

The feats of killing the demon queen and her henchmen, as long as she wants, she can swallow it alone, not to mention that she also has the great feat of defending the border fortress for the imperial court, taking the initiative to attack deep into the enemy fortress, annihilating hundreds of thousands of alien races, and winning at least twenty years of peace for the northwest border.

If she hadn't given half of the credit for killing the demon queen to Lu Chen, it wouldn't have been a problem even if she was named a first-class national prince on the spot.

can directly dump her father, Dingyuan, Marquis Gu Yanming, dozens of streets.

However, when the credit is divided, it is divided.

Therefore, in the end, the reward for her stayed in Jiangling County, with 3,000 households.

Of course, this is not a disadvantage to her.

After all, Gangneung is a large county with a population of more than one million, and it is far away from Jingshi, and there is no first-class clan such as the prince to hinder it, and Guogong is already the highest title there, and no one can compare.

As long as she is sealed, she is the most noble existence in Jiangling, and no one dares to mess with her.

In this regard, Gu Simiao just thanked her indifferently and didn't say anything.

In the end, it was Lu Chen's turn.

After a long and formulaic compliment, the eunuch finally got to the point:

"In the middle of the engineering department, Lu Chen was promoted to the right waiter of the Ministry of Engineering, and he was crowned the Duke of Xingping County, with 800 households."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was quiet.

The sealing of the county duke was expected by everyone, but. Xingping County.

Isn't that one of the closest counties to the capital?

And it's also a traffic artery!

Of course, the land under the feet of the Son of Heaven is not impossible to reward, but it is a fief of a hero who has made great contributions to the imperial court, so Lu Chen touched his lips and teeth, and he fished out a county prince of the top county of Shuntian Mansion?

Is this fucking Lu Chen's shit luck or is His Majesty too favoritial?

The county prince of Xingping County, although it is not as good as the Jiangling County Duke of Gu Simiao, but in some special senses, it is not necessarily.

This knighthood is not just based on the rank of the knighthood.

And this guy ascended to the sky one step from a seven-grade engineering department, and directly became the right waiter of the Ministry of Engineering of the third grade, isn't this too damn exaggerated?

Although it is an extremely special official position to give things a low and powerful position, in the past thousand years in Great Xia, it is not without examples of being directly promoted from the middle of the matter to the second and third high-ranking officials.

There are even those who go directly to the cabinet.

But it's one thing to have a precedent, it's another thing to be able to apply it.

Those who can directly cross so many grades and rise directly are all great sages who have a huge reputation in the government and the opposition, and have outstanding achievements during their tenure as ministers.

What did he, Lu Chen, do for the imperial court?

Indeed, he risked the world's condemnation at the beginning, and did not hesitate to stand up for the empress, and did his best to be loyal.

But that's not a political achievement.

After that, he went to Yu and Sui to assist Xiao Yun in controlling the water, and now that the flood has subsided, Xiao Yun has returned to the court, and in this matter, he has some merits.

If you have to count it up, in Xia Yan's case, he can be regarded as maintaining justice for the court and saving the hearts of a virtuous minister and the people of Yongchuan, which can be regarded as a bit of merit.

As for the investigation of empty warehouse cases, appeasing the local people, governing the local government as the governor of the two states, eradicating corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and so on, the merits and demerits are not yet fully clear, and the effectiveness of governing the local area has not yet been revealed.

For the time being, it cannot be used as his political achievement.

So the ministers were not very convinced by this.

Jump directly from the seventh product to the third product!

What a privilege!

He Lu Chen He De He can. Well, virtue is enough, but ability. They don't approve!

So immediately some courtiers stood up against it.

But the opposition of these people does not mean anything at all.

The empress personally stood up and pushed it, and the holy king said nonchalantly: "This king thinks that there is nothing wrong with this reward. ”

Even Gu Simiao stood up and said coldly: "You say that Lu is unworthy, do you think you are worthy?" ”

The three top bosses supported Lu Chen at the same time, and these people with grievances withered instantly, and they could only skim at Lu Chen with envious, jealous and hateful eyes.

This guy is really shit luck.

How is it that every time a bad thing comes into his hands, it becomes a good thing

How could such a good thing not be their turn?

Lu Chen had the heart to come out and beep a few words, but the system limitations were there.

Words and deeds should not be too contrary to common sense, which naturally includes non-compliant refusals.

There is simply no way to refuse.

If you forcibly refuse to be promoted when you have made great contributions to the dynasty and are dedicated to the society, it is against common sense.

In desperation, he had no choice but to stand up and reluctantly accept the honor.

Fortunately, this time the system is short-cycle, and the rewards are average, if the long cycle comes out at the last moment, he is afraid that he will explode on the spot.

Although the long-term rewards are far from being promoted to immortals and demoted, the long-term rewards are also very generous.

So, the matter was settled.

The three of them each have rewards, and the rest of the people involved in this matter, such as the soldiers of Cang Lingjun who followed Gu Simiao to kill the demons, naturally also have their own rewards, but compared to Lu Chen, they are far behind.

However, just when the holy decree was about to fall, Gu Simiao suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do."

Hearing this, the empress suddenly narrowed her eyes and said softly:

"Gu Aiqing, please speak."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gu Simiao nodded, then bowed and bowed, and arched his hand:

"Your Majesty, Wechen requests to change the fief."

Hearing this, the courtiers were slightly startled.
