LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 89 Shen Yan
After all the officials left with solemn expressions, the news was about to spread.
"Your Highness, please come this way!"
Zheng Shunfa took Li Yuan to a courtyard with pleasant scenery.
Li Yuan will temporarily live here for the next period of time.
The courtyard is quiet and beautiful.
Li Yuan was very satisfied and turned to look at Zheng Shunfa, "Chief Zheng is interested."
"It is a blessing for me to serve His Highness."
Zheng Shunfa lowered his head and said respectfully.
"The purpose of my visit to Ziyang County this time is to clear out some unqualified officials in Ziyang County and select some talented people with strong abilities and clean family backgrounds to serve in order to benefit the people of this area. Does Governor Zheng have a list in his hand?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
When Zheng Shunfa saw Li Yuan asking for the list, his face immediately showed excitement.
Li Yuan turned his eyes to Wu Ying, who had been staying behind Zheng Shunfa, nodded in approval:
"I can see that Commander Zheng and Lieutenant Wu are very loyal to me. During this time, you two need to cooperate more with Magistrate Mo and Commander Chen in renovating Ziyang County."
"Wei Chen (the last general) has the duty to do so."
Zheng Shunfa and Wu Ying finally settled down.
………………
"Wei Chen (last general) resigns!"
After Li Yuan explained some more things, he asked them to take Mo Ziyan and Chen Wei to the government office and the guard base camp.
After the two people disappeared, Li Yuan smiled slightly and continued to sit on the main seat in the hall, gently blowing the hot tea in his hand and waiting for the next person to arrive.
Sure enough, not long after Zheng Shunfa and Wu Ying left, before Li Yuan's tea had cooled down, the guards outside the door came to report:
"Your Highness, Sir Shen Yan is outside the courtyard asking to see you."
"Let them in."
After a while, two figures stepped into the lobby and saluted Li Yuan respectfully.
"Wei Chen Yan (Lin Shen) pays homage to His Highness!"
Li Yuan put down the tea cup, glanced at the nervous expressions of the two of them, and said with a faint smile:
"Jun Cheng Shen, Gong Cao Lin, I wonder what you have to do with me?"
Ana Shen and Lin Shen looked at each other, Ana Shen took a step forward, knelt down, and said respectfully and solemnly:
"We are very loyal to His Highness, and we are willing to do our best for His Highness!"
Ana Shen was very direct.
The main reason is that we can't do it directly now. Zheng Shunfa has already surrendered to the King of Chu.
If I don't show my loyalty to His Highness in time, if His Highness feels that I have different intentions and makes His Highness dissatisfied, then Zheng Shunfa will seize the opportunity to join forces with the King of Chu to solve the problem for himself, and there will be no place to cry.
Lin Shen quickly knelt down and fell on the ground together.
Although Li Yuan couldn't see their current faces, he could feel the tension between them at this moment.
Facing the two people's allegiance, Li Yuan was not surprised at all.
This is the reason why we chose Ziyang County first.
"Both of you, please rise. Your loyalty is in my eyes."
Li Yuan stood up, walked to the two of them in a few steps, and helped them to stand up.
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Ana Shen and Lin Shen looked excited.
"I have just told Commander Zheng and Lieutenant Wu that as long as you stay safe and obey my orders, I will not treat you badly."
"I will never give up even if I die!"
Ana Shen and Lin Shen's faces turned red and they said with great determination.
"Okay, okay, you are all the king's most trusted ministers."
Li Yuan patted the two of them on the shoulders to show their closeness.
Ana Shen and Lin Shen immediately straightened their chests, looking like they were loyal to Li Yuan to the death.
"Unfortunately, I suspect that some officials in Ziyang County have different intentions and are dissatisfied with me!"
Li Yuan put down his hands, crossed them with his hands behind his back, and sighed.
Ana Shen and Lin Shen's expressions were shocked, and they finally understood the true purpose of King Chu.
Shen Yan immediately expressed his position: "Lingyang Mansion is the fiefdom of His Highness, and His Highness is the heaven of Lingyang Mansion. Anyone who has any dissatisfaction with His Highness deserves to die. We must assist His Highness to thoroughly investigate all officials in Ziyang County!"
"Okay, Commander Shen, I really did not misjudge you."
Li Yuan turned around and looked at Shen Yan, showing a sense of trust.
"The officials in Ziyang County leave it to you and Governor Zheng. I would like to know how many people are loyal to me!"
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness."
Ana Shen's beard trembled and he said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, Wei Chen and others can't guarantee it, but there are three city lords. Wei Chen guarantees that they are loyal to His Highness. They have admired His Highness for a long time. Please give him an order to summon him. They came to meet His Highness!”
"Okay, Commander Shen has extraordinary abilities. Let them come to see me in three days!"
"Thank you for the gift, Your Highness!"
A quarter of an hour later, Ana Shen and Lin Shen respectfully bid farewell to Li Yuan.
Just after leaving the courtyard, Ana Shen and Lin Shen looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and strode away.
…………
"Pah! Pah! Pah"
In the courtyard, crisp applause sounded.
The graceful Liu Yanxin clapped her hands lightly and walked out from behind with a smile.
"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is very resourceful. Just one day after he arrived, he easily controlled most of the power in Ziyang City."
Liu Yanxin approached Li Yuan, with a faint fragrance and a seductive tone:
"Using the opposition between Zheng Shunfa and Shen Yan, they not only have to obey the orders issued by His Highness King Chu, but also compete with each other to gain His Highness's good impression.
The city lord they had wooed before had become a bargaining chip to please His Highness.
As long as His Highness sits firmly in this courtyard, all the city lords will come here to express their allegiance.
Those city lords with different intentions have been eliminated by Shen Yan and Zheng Shunfa, so His Highness can only use them with peace of mind. "
Li Yuan turned to look at the smiling Liu Yanxin, strolled back to his seat, and said with a faint smile:
"I didn't expect that Saint Liu not only has amazing talent in cultivation, but also has a clear mind."
"However, the little lady has a question?"
Liu Yanxin randomly found a seat and sat down, with a pair of big black eyes and a smile on her lips:
"Your Highness is not afraid. Some of Zheng Shunfa and Shen Yan have taken refuge with the three major forces or Chu Qingyan?
When the time comes, all the people His Highness trusts in Ziyang County belong to them, so wouldn’t His Highness King Chu be very sad. "
Li Yuan patiently answered Liu Yanxin:
"What does Liu Shengnu think of the relationship between Zheng Shunfa and Shen Yan? As long as I am here, it is an opportunity for them to overthrow each other. When they investigate the officials, do you think they will investigate each other?"
Liu Yanxin's smiling expression froze, but she quickly said:
"What if both of them are members of the three major forces?
It would be so sad if His Highness was deceived by them, tsk tsk tsk..."
Liu Yanxin made a tut-tsk sound, looking like she was watching a good show.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan's smile remained unchanged and he looked at Liu Yanxin with bright eyes.
I don't know why Liu Yanxin trembled physically and mentally, with a bad premonition, and she also sat upright.
"So, I have to ask Miss Liu. As a saint of Lieyan Sect, Miss Liu should be very familiar with the methods of Ximen Family and Zhongyi Hall. With Miss Liu's intelligence, she should be able to tell whether Zheng Shunfa and Shen Yan have taken refuge. Other forces."
"If Saint Liu can't even see this, wouldn't she have betrayed my king's trust?"
