The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 118

[Chapter 116]

“I’m not a panacea, how can I have such an effect?” Shen Yu found a comfortable seat in Shang Junlin’s arms.

“Ayu Yuzhen is more effective than any panacea.” Shang Junlin buried his head on Shen Yu’s neck, his voice a little dull.

“Then give His Majesty more hugs,” Shen Yu touched the man’s head with his backhand, “so that His Majesty can handle government affairs more energetically.”

Shang Junlin hugged the man in his arms tightly.

“Are all the officials over at Subei sent by His Majesty later?” Shen Yu glanced at the book that was spread out on the table.

It was sent by Master Fang from Subei, and there were other officials nearby.

Mr. Fang took the officials who had passed from the capital. Every time they went to a new place, they would be speechless by the tragic situation there. They thought that the situation in the first small town they passed through was already very bad. The more I discovered that it was just the tip of the iceberg, the more shocking what I saw.

Every time they go to a place, they will gather the people together after cooking porridge and do something within their ability. When their strength recovers, they will exchange more food for their labor, and they will also help and relieve local operations. inconvenient person.

In the excerpts written by Mr. Fang, they detailed the current situation of every place they passed by. Just the text description can make people feel the despair that blows.

“Some of them were directly promoted locally,” Shang Junlin rubbed his gloomy fingers, “I almost replaced the upper-level officials in Subei, and there were not many people who could be used by the court, only some people were sent there, more He was promoted locally.” Back then

, when Subei fell, if it wasn’t for Shang Junlin leading his troops to arrive in time to turn the tide and repel the Beimo army, it is hard to say whether the current Dahuan is still Dahuan.

The local officials were to blame for the loss of their country. Shang Junlin didn’t want to listen to their excuses, so he directly cut down the people to comfort the heroes and soldiers who died because of their negligence. It was also to avenge the innocent people who died in vain. On the day of the execution, the whole city Onlookers, all applauded.

In the smell of blood in the sky, Shang Junlin let all the officials in Subei watch the execution with their own eyes. Some officials have been pampered for many years. I have never seen such a scene before.

But each of them is guarded by two burly soldiers, as long as they dodge, they will be stopped.

Shang Junlin is also using this opportunity to warn the people who have been newly promoted by him. If he can’t keep the Subei well, he will go down and be with these people.

He also took this opportunity to completely separate Subei’s military power from the regime. Under the bloody means, no one dared to refute. Since then, Subei has been stable for a long time.

Shang Junlin and Shen Yu talked about this past: “I thought they would learn to be good, yes, they did learn to be good, they didn’t dare to do anything blatantly, they only made small moves in private, and tried every means to keep the news from reaching the capital. ”

Shen Yu: “People’s greed is always endless. If you get a little bit, you will want more. Over time, the greed will be fed more and more, and you will never be satisfied. Now seven things have passed since then. Eight years, time will wear away a lot of things, and can change a lot of things. The officials promoted by His Majesty may be trustworthy, but after so many years, no one can guarantee that they will not change at all.”

Shang Junlin: “People’s hearts It’s changeable, I know very well.”

Shen Yu: “After finding out the truth, what should be dealt with, and those who deserve credit will be rewarded according to credit, after so many years, His Majesty is no longer the His Majesty he used to be, so there is no need to be constrained by insufficient manpower. If this kind of thing happens again, Your Majesty can set the appointment time, and the officials sent to Subei will return to the capital after a certain number of years.”

Subei officials are divided into three categories: Subei Army, Beijing transfer, and local officials. There is a three-legged situation, but according to the news returned by Yinlongwei, the latter two have been mixed together, and they have also inserted people into the Subei Army, and there is a faint shadow of another force among the three.

“If the term of office is stipulated, officials sent from the capital will be less likely to side with local officials. Compared with Subei, they should want to return to the capital, the center of power, then they will be for their own sake. Their

resumes are better and they spontaneously look at Subei for the imperial court.”

Shen Yu lowered his eyes and continued, “As soon as their term ends, they will return to the capital, and what happens in Subei will only become a step for them to advance.”

As long as their The interests are not tied to the Subei officials, so there is no need to worry too much that they will come together, which is not good for the court.

After thinking about it seriously, Shang Junlin found that this is indeed a good method.

In fact, the mobility of Dahuan officials is not large. Unless they are particularly capable or have someone in the court, after more people are sent to a certain place, it is very likely that they will stay there forever.

If it is not a special place like Subei, there are many advantages. The more familiar the officials are with a certain place, the more they know about it, and the easier it is to manage it.

However, the most important thing right now is the disaster in Subei. If the drought does not ease for a day, they will not be able to relax.

Master Fang and Yinlongwei’s people were in the light and the other in the dark, and they found out the situation in Subei one by one.

Mr. Fang continued to walk north with the officials. The further north, the more serious the disaster, and the more silent these officials from the capital became.

Have they ever seen such a purgatory-like scene? In the past, at most, they learned about major disasters through various documents. How can the words be as shocking as what they saw with their own eyes?

The more they saw, the greater their opinions on the inaction of the Subei officials, especially when they learned more than once from the local population that if the disaster relief workers had come earlier, maybe so many people would not have died. reached its peak.

“There are so many people, obviously they don’t need to die, as long as they are willing to share the subei army’s salaries…” The voice of the young official who spoke choked.

No one made a sound, and no one could make a sound when they saw this scene.

In the poor and dilapidated house, the skinny mother did not have a piece of good meat on her body. Her child was curled up in her arms, and there was still a piece of wet flesh in her mouth. The mother looked at her child with wide eyes until she died…

“If only we could come back earlier, maybe we could save the mother and child.”

There was a strong smell of blood in the room .

One person disliked the pungent smell, and they only felt a tingling in their hearts.

Along the way, they have seen all kinds of tragic scenes. They thought that they would be numb when they saw them more. It was only at this moment that they realized that no matter how many times they saw the scene in front of them, they could not be numb.

“Master Fang, can we really save Subei?” After a long time, a young official couldn’t help asking, his face was blank.

“Of course it can be saved,” Master Fang replied loudly. “We have saved many people along the way, and the court has also raised enough supplies. If you hold on for a few more days, they will be here soon.

” As soon as he looked at everyone’s face, he knew that what he had seen and heard these days had a great impact on these not-so-old officials, and he also knew why they were confused, because he also had such a time in the past.

“Everyone cheer up, His Majesty has sent news that this time together, there are also people from all over the world who are willing to help. The disaster funds also come from the donations of many people in Dahuan. Subei will not be affected by any one of Dahuan. Give up!”

Subei main city.

In the splendid hall, young women in thin dance clothes danced to the music, and men in luxurious clothes toasted.

“That Fang Jun, are we going to let him go on like this?”

“Don’t spoil your master’s plan, he wants to see the real appearance of Subei’s disaster, then let him see, he volunteered to be with the refugees, and he will be displaced by that time. If you accidentally get hurt, it has nothing to do with us, Master Xun, don’t you think so?”

Xun Chao calmly glanced around and drank the wine in the glass: “Of course, it’s not that we didn’t persuade him, but he insisted on going his own way. If something really happened, how can we be blamed?”

“That’s the reason. , come, continue drinking.”

Xun Chao finished with them, and returned to his own mansion. Although he was not the biggest official in Subei, his status was not low. After returning to the mansion, the butler greeted him.

“Did your lord drink?”

“Yes, Mr. Kang invites you, so it’s not easy to refuse. There are many colleagues at the table, and they also talked about the refugees. Since ancient times, refugees have been a difficult problem to solve.” The

butler’s eyes darkened .

Mang flashed: “Sir, you need to wash up first, and this old slave will go and get him a bowl of sober soup.” Master

Fang stroked his forehead: “I’m a little dizzy, help me in.” In the

darkness, there was nothing at the corners of the black clothes .

The sound crossed the night sky.

In an inconspicuous corner, a middle-aged man in a gray robe turned out of the yard and walked all the way to the corner.

There was a seemingly inconspicuous carriage parked there.

“Have you found anything?” An indifferent voice came from the carriage.

“If you go back to your lord, it’s business as usual, and no suspicious people have been found in the mansion.” The gray-robed man replied cautiously.

Xun House.

Xun Chao rubbed his aching forehead. He had just said those words to the housekeeper deliberately in the yard, in order to pass the news to Yinlongwei, who was hiding in Xun’s residence. Yes, but there are other people’s spies in the mansion, and it is another person who is responsible for spreading the news.

Beijing.

The materials raised by various places are transported to Subei one by one. The capital is the first to get the news and the first to act. Other places that are a little further away will start later.

In addition to the doctor, some young people from various places were also called to go with him.

The hot summer is coming to an end, it rained in the capital, and the weather was much cooler.

“Is it still raining in Subei?” Shen Yu looked at the raindrops that were falling outside the window.

“No,” Shang Junlin frowned, “Although there is little rain in Subei, there are very few cases where it does not rain for several months like this year.”

Regarding the issue of not raining for several months in Subei, there have been discussions among the common people. , Severe droughts are often accompanied by locust plagues. Subei has already suffered a locust plague in May and June. Otherwise, there will be no harvest.

“If it doesn’t rain for a long time, I’m afraid there will be bad rumors.”

Shen Yu’s words became a proverb, and within a few days, rumors began to appear in various places:

It is said that the severe drought in Subei was God’s order to warn the emperor not to do unkind things. Don’t break the ancestral system at will…

It can be seen that each of them is aimed at what Shang Junlin did during this period.
