Ouchi Cat Controlling, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!
Chapter 679 It’s up to you
Three days later, the southern patrol team successfully arrived at Luodong City.
In the entire Daxing, the prosperity of this city ranks among the top five.
If we talk about the north alone, Luodong City ranks second after the capital city.
From a distance, they saw the majestic outline of Luodong City on the official road.
The official road near Luodong City was paved with bluestones, and the carriage walked extremely smoothly on it.
Officials from Luodong City began to greet the southern patrol team ten miles away.
Emperor Yongyuan personally got down from his chariot and expressed his condolences to these officials before continuing to head towards Luodong City together.
There were a lot of officials in Luodong City, and there were dozens of people who came to greet them, which was much more than in Jiaozhou City.
The three little ones were sitting in the carriage, observing what was going on outside through the window.
"There are many officials in Luodong City."
Li Xuan complained softly.
"Axuan, you don't know something about this." Princess Ankang explained to Li Xuan with a smile.
"Nakdong City was originally planned to be built as a new capital, but the late emperor who decided this matter passed away before Nakdong City was built, and the matter of moving the capital was never mentioned again."
Speaking of this, Princess Ankang lowered her voice and said: "Everyone feels it is unlucky."
After saying this, the little girl regained her voice:
"But in order to establish Nakdong City, countless manpower and material resources had been spent, and it was not easy to just rush it, so it was managed according to the specifications of a large-scale capital city."
"But for some reason, Luodong City developed extremely smoothly from the beginning. In less than three years, it became a famous and prosperous city in the north."
"Everyone thinks that the feng shui here is good. Although it does not bring prosperity to the emperor, it can bring prosperity to others."
"The development has been going more and more smoothly since then, and there have been several expansions outside the city. If we add it all up, the scale has already exceeded the capital."
Li Xuan rolled his eyes after hearing this.
It sounds like the capital occupies the name of the capital, but in fact from a city perspective, Luodong City has long been the largest city in Daxing.
"Why did the late emperor move the capital when he was so good?"
"Is this really a geomantic treasure?"
Li Xuan looked at Luodong City in the distance with doubts.
The majestic city gate gradually unfolded in his sight.
The three characters "Luodong City" are engraved in huge fonts on it.
The city gate had received the news a long time ago, and the city gate was cleared. There were garrisons guarding both sides of the road, clearing a wide road for the southern patrol to enter the city.
Emperor Yongyuan also came to Luodong City for the first time.
He was also very curious about this city.
Emperor Yongyuan had witnessed with his own eyes how dedicated the late emperor was to this new capital.
All subsequent signs showed that the late emperor's vision was indeed unique, and Luodong City has developed smoothly to this day.
If Nakdong City could be completed in advance before the death of the late emperor and acquired the name of the new capital, it would probably be much more prosperous than it is now.
More importantly, Luodong City will become an important node of this southern tour.
Starting from Luodong City, the southern patrol team will take the water route to the south.
Luodong City relies on a Grand Canal that runs through the north and south of Daxing, which is the basis for the prosperity and development of this place to this day.
This grand canal took ten years and tens of millions of labor to open, which was of great significance to Daxing.
When the late emperor insisted on building the Grand Canal, the entire court opposed it, both civil and military. However, with the economic effects brought about by the completion of the canal, everyone shut their mouths.
The group of people who called the late emperor a tyrant later became less confident.
It is a pity that the late emperor did not see all this.
The late emperor died within a few days of the opening of the Grand Canal, so naturally he could not see the results brought by the Grand Canal.
As the southern patrol team entered the city, both sides of the road were filled with people watching the excitement.
The people here were not in awe of the southern patrol team, but more curious.
Moreover, the people here were in good spirits and did not appear to be oppressed at all, which was very different from many places they had visited before.
"Is it possible that the parent official here is an upright official?"
Li Xuan was more sensitive to the emotions in the crowd and found nothing unusual.
But in such a large and prosperous city, the oil and water in it is unimaginable.
Isn’t it surprising that no one is greedy in a place like this?
Even if the chief officer of Luodong City is an upright person, are all the people under him clean?
Li Xuan raised his eyebrows, thinking that those who came to watch the fun were not the oppressed master.
Luodong City has a specially built palace, so the southern patrol team does not need to stay in the government office to rest, they can go directly to the palace.
This can be regarded as the most comfortable place for them to stay during their southern tour.
This place has been cleaned long ago and all supplies have been prepared. They just need to move in.
Luodong City is a prefectural city, so the largest government office here is the prefectural government office.
The government arranged for the servants to wait in the palace for dispatch, but they were all sent back by Emperor Yongyuan.
There are already servants in the southern patrol team, so there is no need to use people from Shangfu Yamen.
But it can be seen from this move that Emperor Yongyuan was wary of the officials in Luodong City.
Compared with his previous tough attitude, Emperor Yongyuan became obviously much gentler after arriving in Luodong City.
Not only did they not produce a single piece of evidence, they also had no intention of arresting any corrupt officials.
I don't know if he has insufficient evidence or if he has other ideas.
After the temporary palace was settled, the local government immediately prepared a grand banquet for Emperor Yongyuan, as well as gorgeous singing and dancing performances, and invited several well-known people from Luodong City.
They arrived in the afternoon, and after settling in, it was just dinner time, which was a very reasonable arrangement.
The banquet was arranged just right, and Emperor Yongyuan also had a good chat with local officials.
When Emperor Yongyuan encouraged him, the local officials shouted long live, which was a harmonious relationship between the monarch and his subjects.
"Hey, are the officials here the people of Emperor Yongyuan?"
Li Xuan saw that the atmosphere at the banquet was good, and he couldn't help wondering.
But the King of Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, also became active today.
He led a group of Beijing officials and frequently communicated with local officials, but it was a harmonious scene.
But they all had a good sense of propriety, and no one dared to steal the limelight from Emperor Yongyuan. No matter what topic they were discussing, they would eventually return to Emperor Yongyuan and praise him a few words.
Emperor Yongyuan nodded with a smile, always pretending to blame.
It looked like a harmonious banquet, but both Emperor Yongyuan and Prince Zheng were actually a little abnormal.
But if Li Xuan was asked to explain the reason, he couldn't tell the specific reason.
"Strange, it stands to reason that these two people shouldn't be happy at the same time."
Li Xuan muttered, and couldn't help turning his eyes to the stage.
He has always been proficient in this and is considered an expert in singing and dancing appreciation.
In terms of singing and dancing, whether it is the dignity in the palace or the hotness in the flower field, Li Xuan has considerable experience in appreciating.
Therefore, he wanted to see what the difference is between the singing and dancing masters in Luodong City.
Li Xuan watched the performance on the stage intently. He didn't know where these girls came from, and they were all versatile.
Moreover, they took into account both the dignity and the hotness, which made Li Xuan highly praised.
Li Xuan could see that it should be limited by the occasion, otherwise these girls should have more room to play.
"What a pity."
He couldn't help but secretly sighed.
Watching a song and dance performance with the emperor would have such restrictions.
Emperor Yongyuan estimated that it would be difficult to see the style of Hu Yulou in public in his lifetime.
Unlike his little cat, whenever he wanted to see the girls, he would go to Hu Yulou to take a look, and he could even invite the courtesan to dance for him alone.
At this moment, a flowery eunuch brought them a note.
After Yu'er took it, she handed it to Princess Ankang for inspection.
After reading it, Princess Ankang immediately put the note into the Bingyue bracelet, then pulled Li Xuan's little ear and wrote on his butt:
"Don't watch it, your father asked you to keep an eye on the movements of King Zheng."
Reading the error-free version! 6=9+Shu_Bar first published this novel.
Li Xuan showed a helpless expression, but his eyes were still fixed on the stage, but his little ear that was grabbed by Princess Ankang moved, broke free from Princess Ankang's bad hand, and then rushed in the direction of King Zheng.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Luodong City can be prosperous today, and it also relies on everyone's diligence and integrity."
"This cup, I toast to you all!"
"Your Majesty, you are too kind."
"I have the audacity to drink this cup with Your Majesty."
Zheng Wang's side is full of these meaningless words, and Li Xuan is also very bored.
"The officialdom of Luodong City looks harmonious..."
"But this is too weird in Daxing!"
Li Xuan frowned slightly.
After all, after he left the capital, he saw some bad scenes. It was rare that Luodong City had such a good situation, which made Li Xuan feel unreal.
The officials of Luodong City were respectful to both Emperor Yongyuan and King Zheng, and they did not offend anyone on the surface.
But this is impossible in the current situation of Daxing.
Either Emperor Yongyuan or King Zheng, you have to take a stand.
In such a struggle, if you want to not line up, you can only offend both sides.
It is impossible for someone who can become an official to not understand this truth.
Not everyone is from a military family and has the capital to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
"The officials of Luodong City are acting, but I can't even tell who they are perfunctory to."
Li Xuan couldn't help but frown.
It was not until late at night that the banquet came to an end. Emperor Yongyuan left the banquet venue first because of fatigue.
Princess Ankang and others also left.
If Emperor Yongyuan didn't leave, it would be difficult for others to leave the banquet first.
Therefore, after Emperor Yongyuan left, everyone left one after another, and only those who were still interested would continue to stay at the banquet to drink.
And today, Prince Zheng seemed to be particularly interested, as if he had been holding back for so many days, and finally found an opportunity to vent.
When leaving the banquet with Princess Ankang, Li Xuan couldn't help but look at Prince Zheng more.
When he saw that he was the one who stayed at the banquet until the end, Li Xuan understood the position of the officials of Luodong City.
After Princess Ankang left the banquet, she was taken directly to Emperor Yongyuan's residence by Shang, who had been waiting for a long time.
Emperor Yongyuan drank sobering tea, and there was no trace of fatigue as before.
"Ankang, Xuan."
"Did you see anything?"
Emperor Yongyuan asked them.
Princess Ankang was just guessing, but after Emperor Yongyuan asked this, he knew who the real guest was at the banquet tonight.
"Father, if we use the previous method, can't we control the officials in Luodong City?"
Princess Ankang was talking about the way Emperor Yongyuan used killing chickens to scare monkeys and eradicate the roots.
As long as he could afford to touch corrupt officials, Emperor Yongyuan would get rid of them and execute the whole family to deter others who were not caught.
Along the way, Emperor Yongyuan replaced all the officials who could be replaced directly, and promoted those young Jinshi.
These young Jinshi were talented, but they were all rookies in the officialdom, and no one could say how far they could go.
But Emperor Yongyuan had too few talents to use, so he had to do this.
And before they arrived in Luodong City, the young Jinshi who happened to accompany them were allocated, and now they have been used up.
It can be seen that Emperor Yongyuan had carefully calculated that he just brought so many people and just used them up before Luodong City.
In response to Princess Ankang's question, Emperor Yongyuan snorted and shook his head and replied:
"The officials in Luodong City are really not corrupt officials, and they can even be regarded as the benchmark of clean officials in Daxing."
"It's a pity that they are loyal to King Zheng."
"Apart from this matter, I can't even find any fault with them."
The helplessness contained in Emperor Yongyuan's tone can be heard.
Li Xuan was also stunned. He didn't expect that Luodong City would be in such a situation.
These officials have no problems at all. On the surface, they can even be said to be rare talents in Daxing.
But they didn't sell this effort for Emperor Yongyuan, but for King Zheng.
King Zheng is now in power in the court and the country. Unless he is overthrown, it will be difficult to punish him.
The officials in Luodong City did not make any mistakes, but their political achievements were excellent. Emperor Yongyuan could not punish them, and even had to promote them to encourage them.
This matter is so complicated, where can I go to seek justice.
No wonder King Zheng was so happy at the banquet today, it turned out that he was at home.
"After isolating Prince Zheng for so many days, you're not going to continue, meow?"
Li Xuan felt a little sorry.
"It's useless. Luodong City is not like those small counties. The staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot keep an eye on Prince Zheng."
"Besides, with the protection of the officials of Luodong City, I can't isolate Prince Zheng roughly."
"Maybe it will be better after we get on the ship in a few days."
Emperor Yongyuan explained.
"In that case, why don't you get on the ship and leave earlier, meow?" Li Xuan asked puzzledly.
"We need to make some preparations for our ship." Emperor Yongyuan smiled mysteriously, and then continued: "And the latest news should also be let know to Prince Zheng."
"If he knows, his expression should be very exciting."
"More importantly, people will only reveal flaws when they relax."
"Ah Xuan, before I leave here, I must place people in important positions in Luodong City."
"It's just that there is no suitable opportunity now, so this matter depends on you."
When Li Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but point his tail at himself and said in surprise:
"Meow?"
