Wei Jichen returned to the Governor's Mansion angrily, leaving Liu Kun and others standing in front of the granary and looking at each other speechlessly.
"Alas! How can this be good?"
"Yes, the emperor was so angry that he buried his body thousands of miles away. No matter what, we may not be able to keep our official positions."
¡
The officials were saddened and discussed a lot.
Liu Kun looked at the official in charge of the matter, picked up the account book, walked up to him, and said in a deep voice: "I have warned you not to go too far, but now it seems that you have treated my words as child's play. Now, I can¡¯t control that much anymore, so your Majesty can punish you as you please.¡±
"My Lord Governor, please intercede on my behalf." Several officials fell to the ground, crying bitterly.
"Alas!" Liu Kun sighed, turned around and walked away.
When Liu Kun returned to the Governor's Mansion, he learned that Wei Jichen was discussing things with Tan Sitong in the room. He immediately ignored all the etiquette and went to the door in person to ask for an audience.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report. Please see Your Majesty." Liu Kunyi stood outside the door with his head lowered and shouted loudly.
"Master Liu, come in." Wei Jichen's unhurried voice came from inside the door.
Immediately, the door creaked and was opened by a soldier. Liu Kun walked in lightly and saw Wei Jichen sitting in the main seat and Tan Sitong sitting in the lower seat.
"Master Liu, please sit down first and then talk." Wei Jichen pointed to the seat on the left.
The Han, Yuan and Qing Dynasties were all right-centered, and the Chinese Empire that overthrew the Qing Dynasty was also right-centered. Tan Sitong sat on the right, but Wei Jichen asked Liu Kun to sit on the left. This was obviously a sign of Liu Kun's undying desire. Angry.
Because in terms of seniority and official position, Liu Kunyi cannot be inferior to Tan Sitong in any case.
Liu Kun¡¯s body was hunched over, and he seemed to have aged several years. His steps were now heavy and heavy.
As soon as Liu Kun sat down, Wei Jichen said: "Master Liu, if you are just asking for help for what happened just now, there is no need. I have decided to leave this matter to Fu Sheng."
Tan Sitong bowed slightly to Liu Kunyi.
Although Liu Kunyi felt uncomfortable in his heart, he still shook his head slightly and said with a heavy face: "I am not asking to see Your Majesty because of that matter, but I have another important matter that I want to report to Your Majesty."
"Oh, what's the important matter?" Wei Jichen took a sip of tea, a light flashed in his eyes, and then he asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, this!" Liu Kun glanced at Tan Sitong and the soldiers at the door.
"Your Majesty, I have important matters to attend to, so I will temporarily retire." Seeing this, Tan Sitong stood up before Wei Jichen could speak, saluted Wei Jichen, and then bowed his hand to Liu Kunyi to say goodbye.
"Well, since we have something important, let's go down first." Wei Jichen had no intention of letting Tan Sitong step down, but he had already stood up, and Wei Jichen was too embarrassed to say anything else.
Tan Sitong walked to the door, whispered a few words to the two soldiers, and they followed him out.
Seeing that there was no one in the room, the door was closed again. Liu Kun fell to the ground, solemnly took out a letter from his arms, held it up with both hands, and said in fear: "Your Majesty, someone is going to commit a crime." There was a rebellion, and I received a letter last night, which contains a shocking secret. I hope your Majesty will investigate and deal with it as soon as possible."
"Committing rebellion?" Wei Jichen raised his eyebrows and took the letter from Liu Kunyi's hand. He pulled it out and saw that some people were preparing to assassinate him at the reception and supported Liu Kunyi's claim to be emperor.
The so-called reception means that Wei Jichen will meet with representatives from all walks of life in Liangjiang the day after tomorrow, including traffickers, farmers, students, ordinary citizens, and even prostitutes. Wei Jichen will meet with them to have a small talk and entertain everyone.
This can be regarded as something Wei Jichen did to win over the people of Liangjiang.
After Wei Jichen read it, he was not very angry. Instead, he looked at Liu Kunyi who was lying on the ground and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, Wei Jichen raised his hand and said softly: "Ai Qing, please get up. Since Ai Qing has given me this letter, it seems that this matter has nothing to do with Ai Qing."
Liu Kunyi was still lying on the ground and whispered: "I am scared. I really did not expect that some officials in Liangjiang would be so bold. I am already old, and I have been feeling dizzy and tinnitus recently. I am afraid that I will no longer be able to be used. Please ask Your Majesty Please allow me to go home and take care of myself."
Wei Jichen walked up to him, gently helped Liu Kunyi up, and said seriously: "As for Aiqing, Aiqing is my loyal minister. Without Aiqing's help before, the Japanese would not have been fooled. Now if there is no Aiqing, Please give me this letter, I'm afraidI am afraid that I will become a fool. How can a great talent like Aiqing not contribute to the country? In the past, when Jiang Ziya was sixty and became the prime minister, how could Aiqing be content to be behind others? "
"Your Majesty, I" Liu Kun had a sore nose and quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeves. He had been having a hard time these past two days. He was like an angry daughter-in-law. Now that he heard Wei Jichen Saying this, all the grievances came to my heart and turned into tears.
A man older than his grandfather burst into tears in front of him. A trace of embarrassment flashed across Wei Jichen's face, wondering if it was a little too much.
Fortunately, Liu Kun stabilized his mood soon, wiped his face with a smile, and said, "I have lost my temper."
"It doesn't matter!" Wei Jichen changed the subject and said, "I didn't expect that someone would be so eager to take my life. Although these people spoke quite cryptically in their hearts and none of them signed their names, I believe that they must be quite powerful in Liangjiang. Otherwise, Don¡¯t dare to play tricks in front of me.¡±
"Your Majesty, do you want to cancel the reception?" Liu Kun asked as he offered his advice.
Wei Jichen pondered for a moment and then replied: "The reception will be held as usual, otherwise it will be more terrifying for these people to hold back. I will take this opportunity to catch them all. I want to see who are the people who are against me."
¡
Two days later, people were coming and going in the Governor's Mansion. Of course, the security was very tight, and the guards were strictly guarded by the imperial guards brought by Wei Jichen from the capital.
Outside the Governor's Mansion, many citizens also gathered, and they all looked inside with envy.
"Do you know? Ergouzi has also been elected as a representative. Today he has to meet with the emperor. My mother, you are really lucky. The emperor even invites him to dinner."
An envious tone, a jealous tone.
"It's just him, Ergouzi. What representative does he choose? No one can choose him."
"Representative of the unemployed! If I had known that I could become a representative if I were unemployed, I would have resigned and waited for the emperor to summon me."
"Bah, you are so unlucky, can the emperor see you? If he sees you, he will think that all the people in Jiangsu look like you."
¡
"Don't tell me, the emperor is summoning us ordinary people this time."
"The emperor pretends that he is all ordinary people in his heart. It seems that we are all blessed."
"Well, that's quite true."
Wei Jichen hosted nearly three hundred people at this banquet, almost including people from all religions and streams.
¡°These three hundred people will be searched before entering the Governor¡¯s Mansion. Of course, if they are extremely powerful people, they will still be able to deliver the murder weapon to the hands of one of the assassins.
In this way, Wei Jichen is still in some danger.
Liu Kunyi, who was standing next to Wei Jichen, was in random thoughts. From time to time, he would glance at the people in front of him. No matter who he saw, he felt that they were a bit like assassins. When the people approached Wei Jichen, he Just a moment of trepidation.
Standing on the other side of Wei Jichen was Zhao Bingjun. Zhao Bingjun's face was stiff, but his eyes were vigilantly scanning the crowd.
Tan Sitong held a pen and paper and stood slightly in front.
Among the three people, only Wei Jichen had a calm smile. He stood in the middle, with a long line of people lined up in front of him, and majestic soldiers standing on both sides of the line, which looked very solemn.
The crowd was excited and excited, but except for the person at the front, everyone else kept their lips tightly closed and did not speak.
"Old man, are you well?"
Wei Jichen stepped forward slightly, looked at the old farmer in front of him with a smile, stretched out his hand, and gently held his hands.
His stooped body, gray hair and beard, dark skin, the vicissitudes of time engraved on his face, the deep vertical lines one after another, and the washed-white clothes all show that his life is not like that. The same smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, it's really your Majesty, slaves, the common people are paying tribute to your Majesty." The old farmer obviously hadn't woken up from the surprise, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Wei Jichen.
Wei Jichen quickly took his hand, smiled and asked loudly: "Old man, there is no need to give this big gift. My parents are also farmers, and I am the son of a farmer. How have you been doing lately, old man?"
"Well, since the new emperor was appointed, the life of the common people has become better and better." The old farmer said with a happy face.
"What difficulties do the old people have?" Wei Jichen asked again.
"The difficulty is, there is no difficulty. It's just that my grandson is too naughty and often doesn't go home for fun." The old farmer smiled sheepishly.
And when Tan Sitong wrote these words, in addition to the original words of the old farmer, he also added another sentence: Rural children's education is not universal, and rural education funds should continue to be invested.
"Really? Children are all naughty, and I was the same when I was a child." Wei Jichen gently patted the back of his rough hand and continued with a smile: "Old man, please take a seat here."
Two soldiers stepped forward in time and helped him to the seats in the hall, where about half of the seats were already occupied.
Liu Kunyi, who was standing at the back, had to admire Wei Jichen's perseverance. If he was asked to laugh for three hours straight, his facial muscles would probably cramp.
There is a friendliness warning in the system. Wei Jichen has turned on this function. As long as someone has a negative friendliness towards him, a warning sound will appear. This is why Wei Jichen looks calm.
However, this time the assassin didn't seem to have much malice towards him. Seeing that the man was almost gone and there was no warning sound, the assassin might have had to assassinate him for many reasons. Wei Jichen immediately realized it in his heart. .
