"What power?"

Chen Chong looked at him with a broom in his hand, and for some reason, when he saw the kind smile on his face, he couldn't help but stand on end.

"The Chen family was once prominent for a while, ranking as the prince of the country, Lord Chen, you are also an official in the matter, the scenery is infinite, and the future is very good......" Li Yi shook his head, sighed and said: "Now you can only clean the courtyard with a broom, have you ever thought about ......it?"

"Of course I thought about it." Chen Chong glanced at him and said, "It's all because of you." ”

"Huh?"

"The reason why the Chen family has fallen to this point, and the reason why this official is cleaning the courtyard with a broom, is all your fault."

Li Yi picked up the teacup and put it down, thought for a while, and said: "I'm not talking about who is not because of anyone's business, I mean ......, from being reduced to only cleaning the courtyard from the current court, are you really willing?" ”

"Willingly."

Chen Chong poured a cup of hot tea for Miss Chen San, and said calmly: "When you are old, as long as you live a stable life, whether it is in the middle of the matter or cleaning the courtyard, what is the difference, in my opinion, it is better to clean the courtyard more leisurely." ”

If you don't want to make progress, you don't want to make progress!

Anyway, he also came from the Guogong Mansion, and sat in one of the hottest positions in the court, with his age, it is also the time when the official career is the most accessible, the future is the brightest, and the most ambitious and ambitious, Dong Wenyun has already achieved the position of prime minister at his age, he actually only thinks about cleaning the courtyard? Just want to have a good time?

Depraved!

"Although life always has ups and downs, we can't forget the hard work, the old man is in the twilight, the martyr is in his twilight years, and his heart is strong, Jiang Ziya is eighty years old as the prime minister, Sun Wukong is five hundred years old and learns from the West, and Bai Suzhen is a thousand years old before going down the mountain to ......fall in love."

Li Yi shook his head and said, "Lord Chen, you are just over forty, less than half of Jiang Taigong, how can you be so depressed, I have a position here that is three levels higher than your previous official position, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

Although the power in the matter is not small, and he can directly participate in national affairs, but the official position is not high, only on the fifth grade, Shuzhou Thorn History can have the official rank under the fourth grade, which is three levels higher than him, and when Shuzhou is promoted from Xiazhou to Shangzhou, the official rank, but I don't know where it is high.

"Not interested." Chen Chong shook his head, expressionless, and walked towards the courtyard with a broom.

Li Yi stood up and said, "Think about it......"

"Not considered." Chen Chong was categorical.

"Just do me a favor......"

"Don't help, I prefer to sweep the yard than to do thorn history."

"It's all friends, let's save face......"

"His Royal Highness King Jing still needs someone else to save face?"

……

This is a very unintentional sentence, when Li Yi mentioned this matter just now, he clearly saw the light flashing in Chen Chong's eyes.

How can a person who has been beautiful all his life, a person who calls for wind and rain in the court, degenerate to the point of liking to sweep the yard?

Chen Chong is undoubtedly the most suitable person for this position, he is capable, qualified, and the only drawback is that he has had serious political mistakes, but this does not matter, he is dignified, broad-minded, magnanimous, how can he not even have this little tolerance?

The problem is that Chen doesn't seem to give much face in the matter.

Li Yi looked at him and asked, "Let me ask one last question, do you want to do this assassination?" ”

"Don't do it!"

Chen Chong turned his head with a sarcastic smile on his face, what about King Jing, King Jing also has times when he begged for himself......

Li Yi shook his head and said lightly: "Then don't blame me for being unkind." ”

Chen Chong disdains this, he doesn't want to do this thorn history, can he still press himself?

Li Yi no longer paid attention to Chen Chong, turned around, looked at Miss Chen San, and said, "Mother......"

Miss Chen San nodded with a smile, looked up at Chen Chong, and said softly, "Second brother......"

……

"Lord Chen, Chen Tingshi, I'll go back and make a decree, and you can take office tomorrow."

On the issue of Shuzhou, Li Xuan gave him a lot of freedom, including up to the history of assassination, down to the appointment and dismissal of local officials, and there was no need to go through the procedures of the Ministry of Officials, he looked at the broom in Chen Chong's hand, and said: "Of course, if you like to sweep the floor, you can continue to maintain this hobby after becoming a historian, and no one will stop you......"

"See you later!" Li Yi waved his hand at him again and walked out of the courtyard.

Chen Chong dropped the broom, walked to Miss Chen San and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, poured it down, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Miaoyu, you are too used to him......"

Miss Chen San smiled and said, "If I don't speak, how can the second brother find the bottom of the steps?" ”

Chen Chong's old face flushed, "Miaoyu, you, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It's not interesting, I'm going to take office tomorrow, second brother should prepare......" She smiled and stood up and said, "I'm going to see my baby grandson, the Li family is still not prosperous, if only Ruoqing and Zuimo could add two people to the family when they can add two people......"

She quickly walked out of the courtyard, but Chen Chong sat in place, his face alternating red and white.

……

In just half a month, the banditry in Shuzhou was fundamentally controlled.

When this kind of thing is said, don't say that others don't believe it, even the local people in Shuzhou don't believe it.

Shuzhou has been in trouble for decades, the predecessor has been treated, the former has been treated, the former has been treated, the former has been treated, and even the King of Shu, who is not a thing, has symbolically been treated twice.

But for decades, no matter how the government acted and what measures it took, it was only a temporary effort, and the effect was very small, far from being comparable to the effect of His Royal Highness King Jing in suppressing bandits.

His Royal Highness King Jing has ordered that all the people who suffer property losses because of bandits and bandits will be paid in advance by the local government.

Everyone knows that Yamen is a den of thieves in these years, and this alone has eliminated half of the bandits in Shuzhou.

Of course, there are also those who take the opportunity to fight the autumn breeze, and a very small number of ill-intentioned people take the opportunity to lie to the government and falsely report their losses, and after being found out, they are severely beaten dozens of boards, and they are unanimously spurned by the people, and this kind of thing rarely happens again.

The situation in Shuzhou has really changed a lot recently.

In the past, Shuzhou, not to mention walking at night, was walking on the official road in broad daylight, and there was a danger of encountering mountain bandits and bandits.

Now in Shuzhou, the bandits are walking on the mountain road, and they have to worry about whether there are officers and soldiers in ambush in the bushes next to them, and when they see pedestrians traveling alone, they have to think carefully about whether this is the bait thrown by the government, or a certain martial arts hero, who uses himself as bait, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net......

For a time, the mountain bandits and bandits who were wandering in Shuzhou were panicked, and everyone was in danger......

It's almost impossible to get by......

Ji County, somewhere cottage.

An emaciated man rushed into a room and said to the one-eyed man sitting in a panic: "Big brother, it's not good, we are surrounded!" ”

"What!" The one-eyed man immediately stood up and said angrily: "We haven't opened for a few months, and the government is full of food, so come to us for trouble?" ”

The emaciated man panted and said, "No, it's not the government!" ”

"Not the government?" The one-eyed man sat down again and asked, "Is that Wang Ermazi or Li Ergouzi coming to grab our territory, these two dogs, did they eat the bear's heart and leopard gall?" ”

The emaciated man patted his chest and said, "Also, it's not ......."

The one-eyed man slapped the table violently and said angrily: "It's not, that's not, who is coming, once finished!" ”

Below, the emaciated man calmed down and said, "Yes, it's those bald heads!" ”

"What!"

The one-eyed man got up from his chair again, quickly fell back again, and asked, "You, what did you say?" ”

The emaciated man said sadly: "Big brother, those bald heads are here again!" ”

At this time, outside the cottage, dozens of people blocked the door, and a sturdy bald man held a cone-shaped paper tube in his hand and shouted loudly inside: "Listen to the people inside, you have been surrounded, lay down your arms, surrender immediately, do not resist, and strive for leniency......"
