Chapter 316 A visitor from the Yun family (3)
The fact that Shen Yu could think of this can be regarded as him stepping into the threshold of political intrigue.
But what she could think of, Lu Yingxing would naturally think of as well. It was just that due to his status, he couldn't just ignore it like his wife... It must be said that after getting used to his wife's straightforward style, he understood very well why she always complained that these things were annoying. Isn't it just annoying?
"I see. I have wrongly blamed you. You and the people of Zhuocheng are all wrong."
"We welcome the old prince and the prince and princess back to the city!" Gao Chang took the lead in kneeling, and the matter was finally over.
However, before he could be happy for long, that unreasonable and unreasonable voice sounded again, "Madam Yun means that it was Concubine Yun who made the effort to allow the adults to come here to welcome you?"
Gao Chang, "!!!!" Is this ever going to end?!
Nanny Yun is not old, but she still has a temper. She has been pampered for many years and her temper has improved. She was a little angry at the moment, "May I ask what Princess Zhuo means? We, Concubine Yun, have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of your Zhuo City. It is only because your sister married into the Tan family and became the mistress that you know how the family has worked so hard to protect Zhuo City for Prince Zhuo. Is it wrong for Concubine Yun to be kind-hearted?"
The people present immediately praised that this concubine was really kind.
Only Shen Yu asked with a strange look on his face, "Madam, you misunderstood. I just wanted to say that Concubine Yun is so amazing. A concubine from Youcheng can actually persuade the officials of Zhuocheng to resign collectively? I admire you!"
People on the opposite side: What the hell are you talking about?
Everyone in the palace: The princess is amazing! She can play like this! ?
Shen Yu did not keep the topic secret and continued, "Ah? You all have left your original positions for a month or two. Didn't you resign? Otherwise, who will take care of their original jobs? Isn't this Mr. Gao the county magistrate? If he doesn't resign, does that mean he won't deal with the people of Rong County during this period? Could it be that if a commoner is dying from being harmed by someone and goes to the authorities with great difficulty, the yamen runners at the door can't say: "I'm sorry, my master is not here. You just hold on and don't die. Come back in two months?"
"Ahem!" Mr. Wu put his fist to his lips to hide his smile. He really couldn't help it. Their princess was too good at giving examples.
Shen Yu glanced at Qin Zhiyuan again, "These wealthy businessmen are fine, they own their own businesses, they can leave as long as they want, but Lord Gao and his men have official positions, they receive salaries from the court, they should work for the people, my prince is not without someone to accompany him, the emperor can't let a civil servant with an official position to pick him up, it will delay things so much, so the only way is to resign, the adults are really great!"
She still felt unsatisfied, and said to Lu Yingxing, "Your Majesty, how about you name them? Count how many officials are here? They are willing to quit their official positions to welcome you. How about you and your father give them some calligraphy works, and then thank them publicly when you go back?"
Lu Yingxing calmly watched his little fox making trouble and said lovingly, "Okay, I'll listen to you, princess!"
"no……"
"I am deeply moved that you have gone to such lengths to bring back my father and I. Mr. Wu, can you recognize those who have resigned from the team?" Lu Yingxing made a direct conclusion. He was in a very good mood. It was indeed refreshing to be straightforward!
Wu Zhong looked at the dumbfounded official opposite him and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the people here are the Magistrate of Rong County, Mr. Gao, the Magistrate of Lan County, Mr. Song, the Magistrate of Bei County, Mr. Zhou, the Magistrate of Bei County, Mr. Tan, the County Magistrate of the City Lord's Mansion, and..."
He pointed to the man in the crowd whose retreat was blocked by the secret guards and said, "The magistrate of Zhuocheng is another Mr. Tan. These are the five people who resigned."
The middle-aged man who was pointed at secretly gritted his teeth and had to step out of the line and said, "Greetings to the old prince, Prince Zhuo, and Princess Zhuo. I am Tan Chengli, and the acting city lord is my eldest brother."
"Wow~~ Your Tan family is so generous that even the dignified magistrate of Zhuocheng resigned from his post to come and pick up the person? Isn't that too polite?" Shen Yu shouted in shock.
The people at the scene also felt that the Tan family was so loyal! !
Tan Chengli wanted to slap the talkative princess to death, but he was able to calm down and explain, "Princess, you misunderstood. We didn't..."
"I remember that all registered officials in the entire Linyue Kingdom are not allowed to leave their official positions without permission unless they are specially summoned, right?" Lu Yingxing said.
"Your Highness, we...are here to pick you up in the name of the acting city lord." Tan Chengli gritted his teeth. He had really underestimated their shamelessness. They actually wanted to give him a pretext of resigning!
Qing Li continued, "That's strange. The five cities of Linyue Kingdom have never had a city lord. Each city is managed by the emperor himself. At that time, Zhuo City was in a special situation. In order to maintain normal operations, the emperor temporarily granted this title. Since Lord Tan is only a temporary replacement and not even a formal official position, how can he have the right to mobilize regular officials?"
"The Linyue Law clearly stipulates that if an official or soldier privately dispatches more than 100 people without any emergency and without reporting first, he will be sentenced to one year in prison; if he dispatches more than 100 people, he will be sentenced to 3 years in prison; if he dispatches more than 700 people, he will be exiled 3,000 miles away; if he dispatches 1,000 people, he will be hanged."
Qingli scanned the five people with his slender peach blossom eyes, and the officials he saw all lowered their heads and dared not look at him.
As the crowd gasped, he continued, "Your team has more than 150 people, right? You will be sentenced to three years in prison... Of course, if you are not officials but ordinary people, then it is a different matter."
Tan Chengli's face was gloomy, blaming them for underestimating Princess Zhuo and even more so the people behind her.
Since this Dragon Guard dares to come under the name of inspecting on behalf of the emperor, he naturally has the authority to supervise officials. Even if they do not admit their resignation, he must have a way to dismiss them... It is better to accept it first, at least he can gain a reputation for righteousness.
His eyes dimmed, then he put on a helpless expression and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Princess Zhuo. We have been looking forward to the return of the old prince and his family for more than ten years. Although we have received documents a long time ago and learned that the prince will be escorted by the Luocheng team and accompanied by the Youcheng team, it would be inappropriate for our Zhuocheng to have no representative present. My eldest brother and I thought about it and decided that we have to choose a representative with weight to welcome him... As the acting city lord, my eldest brother cannot leave easily, so I volunteered and resigned from my official position to come and welcome him!!" After saying that, he lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down.
Upon seeing this, the faces of several officials changed drastically. They grasped their sleeves tightly but did not dare to resist. They always followed the lead of the Tan family. So they could resign if they wanted to. After all, Lord Tan would not treat them unfairly.
So, I knelt down immediately...
