However, Du Ruhui probably won't be able to come back from his trip to the northwest in a year and a half, so Wei Zheng will be the servant for a long time.
It was Li Er who asked Old Man Wei to supervise him. He must have bad intentions!
Who doesn't know that Wei Zheng has a bad temper, accepts death, and his biggest hobby is to insult people!
After Li Er issued the imperial edict, he was about to leave. When he reached the door, he stopped again and said:
"Appoint Su Chen as the governor of Guanzhou to supervise the military and political affairs of the three northern states!"
Everyone in Zichen Palace took a sharp breath and turned to look at Su Chen. Is this the Governor of Chengdu?
Although the governor of the Tang Dynasty was temporarily dispatched, he was a military and political official who had jurisdiction over several states.
Is it really appropriate to just let a young boy take over?
Su Chen was also shocked, and then said very depressedly: "Your Majesty, can I resign?"
Li Er ignored him at all and left without looking back.
Changsun Wuji cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations to the Protector of the State for your promotion! You are the Minister of the Ministry of Inspection and Industry, and you are also the Governor of Guanzhou!"
"It was several years ago that I last served as governor. I really miss the situation when I was in power! Haha!"
Su Chen glared at Changsun Wuji: "Mr. Zhao, don't you think you are being old and disrespectful when you are so sarcastic and sarcastic about a junior?"
"Hmph! I kindly congratulate you on your promotion to glory, but you don't know what is good and what is evil!"
He said it as if he was very angry, but the smile on his face could not hide his gloating mood.
Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling looked at Su Chen sympathetically, said nothing, and left on their own.
The others hurriedly left Zichen Hall with different expressions on their faces.
…
Su Chen returned home very depressed.
"Brother Su Chen, why is his face so unhappy? Dad didn't agree to the railway matter?"
"I agreed, and I was asked to inspect the school and be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and serve as the governor of Guanzhou!"
When Changle heard this, his eyebrows danced and he said: "What a good thing! You have been promoted. Why is Brother Su Chen still depressed?"
Su Chen glared and said, "That's the Governor of Guanzhou! Don't you know what kind of virtue Guanzhou is now?"
"The fields have been destroyed, and the people have no money to eat and clothe themselves. Besides, the prime minister has said, I'm afraid the people will not be able to buy anything even if they have money!"
Chang Le thought the same thing. Even if the industry, mines, and factories paid wages, if the people couldn't buy things, they would definitely cause trouble, and then brother Su Chen, the governor, would be in trouble.
Sun Rong puzzled: "Didn't the young master go to Guanzhou last year? There was still a locust plague at that time. Isn't it okay?"
Su Chen glared at her: "That's okay?
What were you planning to do at that time?"
Sun Rong blushed and forgot that she was going to assassinate Su Chen.
"Besides, the last time I was on a mission, I was considered an imperial envoy. I only needed to solve the locust plague problem, and everything else was incidental."
"Even if I didn't go to Haizhou at that time, regardless of the noble families and Haizhou officials, as long as the locust plague is resolved, I can actually return to the DPRK to deliver orders!"
"But the governor is the local military and political chief. All military and political affairs in the three states need to be involved. No matter where there is a problem, it is my responsibility. The officials in the court will probably try their best to impeach me!"
Chang Le frowned and said, "Why don't you go and ask Dad to stop being the governor? Brother Su Chen only needs to focus on developing trains. How can he have the energy to take care of the military and political affairs of the three states!"
Su Chen shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work. This time I was tricked by the Wen Yanbo brothers!"
"Don't forget that the steel plant is in Guanzhou. If I don't go to Guanzhou and keep an eye on it, that old bastard will probably destroy the steel plant."
"The three heroes of the Wen family have extremely high prestige among the gentry. Wen Yanbo is still a minister. If he really wants to bring down the Guanzhou Iron and Steel Works, it will not be difficult!"
Chang Le frowned: "Wen Yanbo?
Brother Su Chen, why did you offend the Bingzhou Wen clan?"
Su Chen said angrily: "I offended him?
I have never dealt with him, how could I offend him."
"Who knows why these two brothers are so crazy? Today they called me a traitor and traitor when they opened their mouths in Zichen Palace, saying that I was harming the people and trying their best to stop me from building the railway."
Changle said angrily: "Wen Dalin is so courageous!"
This was the first time that Su Chen heard Chang Le insulting the ministers of the court and asked: "Li Zhi, do you know Wen Yanbo!"
Changle nodded and said worriedly: "Brother Su Chen, these Wen brothers are not easy to mess with!"
"He is the leader recommended by the noble families in the north. That is to say, the noble families are no longer powerful now, otherwise my Li family will have to respect him."
"Furthermore, the Wen family has a deep friendship with my Li family. When my grandfather launched the army in Jinyang, he received great help from the Wen family. My grandfather once said at that time: 'I came from Jinyang to be your minister!'"
Su Chen was stunned: Is there such a thing?
"Forget it, I don't know why they are crazy. Anyway, there are many people in the family who hate me to death, and there is no shortage of his three brothers! If they piss me off, the three heroes of the Wen family, I will beat them into the three Wen families.
dog!"
Changle said worriedly: "Brother Su Chen, it's better to be careful!"
"I will!"
Su Chen looked at Changle, a little confused: "Li Zhi, I'm going to Guanzhou, you are alone in Chang'an..."
Chang Lemei was stunned: "What did brother Su Chen say? I will go wherever brother goes?"
"how?
Brother Su Chen dislikes me and doesn't want me to follow you?"
Su Chen shook his head hastily: "It's just that Guanzhou is a poor place, not as good as Chang'an..."
"No matter how poor the place is, how can it be without me, the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty, to eat and drink?"
Su Chen had nothing to say.
Changle frowned again and said, "What should I do with Sister Sun Rong?"
Sun Rong looked at Su Chen and Chang Le expectantly: "I also want some young master to go to Guanzhou!"
"But what about your body?"
"It's okay. The imperial doctor said it will be much safer after three months. Besides, won't it be okay when I come back from Guanzhou?"
Su Chen nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's clean up in the next few days. After the New Year's Eve, we will all go to Guanzhou!"
Changle said happily: "Great! Brother Su Chen wants to accompany me to enjoy the lanterns!"
"good !"
Next, Su Chen arranged for the workshop to be relocated, allowing some craftsmen to go to Guanzhou first.
At the same time, he wrote to Liu Mo and informed him of his trip to Guanzhou.
Su Chen was busy when the housekeeper came to report that Duke Zheng was visiting.
Su Chen came to the living room and found that only old man Wei Zheng was drinking tea there.
"Mr. Wei, why are you the only one today?"
Wei Zheng glared at Su Chen: "Who else are you expecting?"
"No, it used to be His Majesty, Changsun Wuji and you three, but this time it's just you. It feels a little strange!"
Wei Zheng said: "What have you been busy with these days?
Are you not paying attention to the situation in the DPRK at all?"
"I'm busy relocating the workshop. What can happen in the court during this first month?"
Seeing that Su Chen really didn't know, Wei Zheng said helplessly: "You know how to hide and relax yourself, and the court is making a huge noise because of your affairs!"
