The new house of Shenfu

Inside the Flower Hall.

Zhuang Boyu took a sip of water, then put down the teacup, looked at the messy surroundings, and said, "It's not too early, you all sit down and talk about the next thing!"

When everyone who was fiddling with the ornaments in the flower hall heard this, they all turned around with a cheer, and then walked towards the chair.

"Yes!

"If you can make a decision early, everyone can be more sure!"

"Hehe, I listen to Mr. Zhuang!"

"Then you have to tell us what you think?"

"Well, let's talk about it!"

......

A group of people sat down in a chattering manner, and then turned their gaze to Zhuang Boyu.

Zhuang Boyu glanced at everyone, and then looked at Shen Feng: "Lord Shentu's posterity, as of yesterday, can be regarded as a success, of course, the reason for this, Lord Shen's merits cannot be buried." At least Zhuang admires this. ”

"It's just a gesture, Zhuang Lao praised it!" Shen Feng smiled slightly and waved his hand.

"We all know this in our hearts, and we all accept Lord Shen's affection. Zhuang Lao should talk about the following things!"

"Yes, we all know that Brother Shen's character is absolutely nothing!"

......

"Okay, put this matter aside for the time being, let's talk about the following things!" Zhuang Boyu smiled slightly, and then looked at Shen Feng, "Lord Shen, in your opinion, like seeing the situation of Dragon City, what should be done next?"

Shen Feng looked at Zhuang Boyu with wide eyes curiously, glanced at everyone again, and then pointed to his nose again, and said with a smile, "Ask me? Zhuang Lao! You asked the wrong person, right? I don't know anything about this!"

"The situation is like this, judging from the current situation, Your Majesty's side will definitely not come in the short term. And seeing that Dragon City does not have any deputies who can take over the position of city lord except Lord Shentu.

After several years of drought, it is finally raining. Therefore, it is necessary to organize the people to cultivate as soon as possible, otherwise in the winter, there will be nothing to plant.

At that time, even next year's rations were delayed. In addition, we need to recruit soldiers to prepare for another enemy attack. Of course, if it was in the peaceful years, these things did not need to be worried about by the city lord, but now the situation is different, at least the seeds cultivated by the people are a great difficulty. In addition to these, there is also the recruitment ......"

Zhuang Boyu babbled a lot, but all of them were issues that urgently needed the city lord to make a decision.

Shen Feng looked at everyone blankly, he didn't understand this, so all he could understand now was that if he saw that there was no city lord in Dragon City, these problems could not be solved. But how to get a city lord, he doesn't have any ideas yet.

"Elder Zhuang, everyone understands these difficulties, and it is estimated that Lord Shen also understands. Let's talk about what to do now?" asked Li Jinya, waving his hand.

"I'll tell Brother Shen!" Qiu Yuanlong felt that they couldn't get to the point, and it was too grinding, so he interjected directly, "Brother Shen, the situation is like this, now, there are two ways to go in Dragon City."

First, stop everything here, and then wait quietly for Your Majesty's side before sending the city lord over. This time is half a year as fast as it is, and no time as it is slow.

Second, we can elect a city lord to preside over this matter. If there are no accidents, this can be done in a day.

It stands to reason that the second option is more practical, because there are many things that cannot be delayed. But here's the problem, you also know that in the early days of the founding of the Mengyue Empire, there was something like this, and in the end, these city lords who were elected by everyone directly set themselves up as kings, and forcibly turned the city into their own world. Later, although the emperor finally recovered it, it still took nearly 20 years.

Therefore, the Mengyue Empire has always had a rule that even if the whole city is dead, everyone will never be allowed to recommend it. In other words, if we choose the second option, we will indirectly oppose the empire and have trouble with Your Majesty. That's going to kill the head, it's going to punish the clan!"

Qiu Yuanlong explained in a loud voice, and finally made Shen Feng understand, daring to love this is really a troublesome matter.

"Since the empire has such a rule, there must be a corresponding plan, right?" Shen Feng is not stupid, he naturally understands that people who can build an empire will naturally not make such a mistake.

Guan Xinghe also knew more about this, and he interjected to say the reason, "This did exist before, it was the eunuch sent by His Majesty to supervise the city, temporarily acting as the city lord." But ten years ago, the eunuch who was in charge of supervising the city of Jianlongcheng was implicated in a case in the capital and was recalled to the capital by His Majesty to be killed. And after he was killed, he didn't know what the reason was, so he never appointed other eunuchs to come over. Lord Shentu also asked when he went to the capital to face the saint, but the above side kept saying that there was no suitable candidate for the time being, so it was delayed until now. ”

"Is it possible to go to a nearby city and find a eunuch there to come over?" Shen Feng asked.

"No, the rules of the empire, except for the face saint, the eunuchs of the prison city cannot leave without permission, and no one will be willing to take over a mess like seeing Dragon City, no matter how good or bad it is, in the end it will be asking for trouble. Such an example has not happened in previous years. In the end, the eunuch who took over was directly ordered by His Majesty and sentenced to death. ”

"Alas, since then, our Mengyue Empire has begun to fall!"

"yes! Who would do such a life-threatening thing?"

"I dare to guarantee that if we go to other cities to ask for help now, not only will we not get help, but we will even be blasted out of the city directly, and we won't even let you in!"

"When Taizu founded the country, how honest was the court at that time? All the officials loved the people like sons. Can ...... now Alas......"

"If it really works, we won't end up in such a field when we see Dragon City!"

"How long has it been? Even if you come from the capital to help, you should have arrived, right? But now? Who of you has seen a rescuer?"

"I guess, when we see Dragon City, we have long been abandoned by those people!"

"Hmph! In their opinion, Changding City has been lost, how can they survive when they see Dragon City?"

"Traitors are in charge, the empire is in danger!"

......

"Then what do you mean now, you can only choose the second way?" Shen Feng asked, and then said, "Then you will choose?

"Explanation? You still don't realize the seriousness of the problem, this matter is not an explanation, this is the untouchable bottom line of the empire! If we do this, everyone present, hehe, nine deaths!" Zhang Zhongying shook his head.

Shen Feng is also a little out of tricks, this can't work, that can't work, you can't touch anything, so what can you do?

"Then what do you want to do?" Shen Feng asked.

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and they are all a little silent. For a moment, the scene cooled down.

After a while, Zhuang Boyu saw that everyone was silent, so he had to speak: "Let me talk about it!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Shen Feng, "The best way now is for you to be the city lord!"

"Me?" Shen Feng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed with a "poof", "You're drunk, aren't you?" If I can be the city lord, then you can be the emperor!"

However, Shen Feng's words did not receive any response. The crowd still looked at him straightly, without any intention of answering.

"Don't look at me?" Shen Feng was a little anxious, "You have so many experienced people, no matter who you are, you must be better than me!"

"There's no one better suited than you!" Zhuang Boyu began.

"Who said that, I think you are the most suitable, and General Qiu and General Zhang can do it?" Shen Feng argued, speaking of which, Shen Feng seemed to suddenly understand something, pointed at everyone with his finger, and suddenly realized: "Oh...... I see, do you think I don't understand anything and deliberately trick me?"

The crowd was still silent!

Only Zhuang Boyu waited for a long time before he spoke again: "I'll tell you the truth, since Lord Shentu's accident, we have discussed it countless times in private. The end result is that only you are the best fit, if you are someone else.

Not to mention whether the situation can be controlled or not, even those big clans in the city may not be able to deal with it.

Therefore, we elected you as the city lord, not because we are afraid of death or being implicated, but in fact, as long as this matter is certain. If we were to die, at least none of us here would survive. ”

"Brother Shen, in fact, this matter seems dangerous, if the capital really doesn't care, then as the city lord, the benefits are still very many!"

Qiu Yuanlong saw that Shen Feng didn't agree no matter what he said, so he planned to change his way.

"Then do you think that the capital city will really let Dragon City fall into our hands without interference?" Shen Feng smiled bitterly, this kind of thing is simply impossible.

Song Shuwen interjected: "Haven't you seen it yet? The Mengyue Empire is no longer the fierce tiger it was back then. Nowadays, people are living in poverty. What I'm worried about is that even if His Majesty wants to take care of it, he can't take care of it! If that's the case, then we will see Dragon City, but there will be no hope. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not me who excuses me, I'm an outsider, and I've worked with you for so long because of chance. But I still have a lot of my own things to do, and I'm not interested in this city lord position at all. So, please, don't think about me anymore. If you want seeds, I'll try my best to raise them for everyone, right?" Shen Feng looked at everyone and said with a serious face.

Shen Feng's words quieted the scene again.

After a long time, Zhuang Boyu sighed, "Since Lord Shen has said everything about this, it will be too unreasonable for us to force it again." What do you think?"

"What else? Except for Lord Shen, no one else here. And now Lord Shen doesn't agree, so it can only be forgotten!" Guan Xinghe was also deflated, he didn't expect Shen Feng to be the city lord at all.

"Actually, I think so, Brother Shen, don't be in a hurry to refuse, and our side will also think about it again. If there is still no answer after three days, then we can only wait for news from the capital!" Zhang Zhongying suggested with a frown.
