Yuan Gang finally understood that Su Chen had no good intentions when he asked him to join the table to play mahjong today!
He had worked hard for half his life to get the position of governor of Xiazhou, but in the end, he wanted to throw himself into the deserted Liuqiu with just one word!
This is more terrifying than being exiled to Yazhou, and is not much different from the death penalty!
The problem is that I have never offended this Lord Protector!
Why is he treating himself like this?
When you met him last year, wasn't he fine?
Yuan Gang plopped down and knelt down to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"After serving as an official for all these years, I feel that I am still worthy of your kindness. I beg Your Highness to show mercy and give up my official position to find a way out!"
"There are two other princes. If there is something wrong with my official position, please make it clear..."
Li Chengqian pulled Yuan Gang: "Get up, no one will say you are not!"
As he spoke, he turned to Su Chen and said, "Look, you scared Governor Yuan!"
"Hey! People like Governor Yuan feel that letting him go to Liuqiu is like killing him, let alone other officials!"
Su Chen smiled and said to Yuan Gang: "Yuan Governor, Liuqiu is much bigger than Fuzhou!"
"And this is the first time that you have been brought under my rule in the Tang Dynasty. If you make achievements there, you will leave your name in history!"
Yuan Tsuna was about to cry: "Duke Protector, please let me go!"
Besides wild beasts, what else is there on Liuqiu Island?
There are not many savages!
If you go to Liuqiu yourself, wouldn't you be sending yourself to death?
"Hey! What a pity. I think you are an upright and diligent official, so I want to give you a good future! You don't want it!"
Yuan Gang lowered his head and said nothing: Lord Protector, please give this kind of good future to someone else!
I can't bear it!
Li Chengqian: "Yuan Governor, after I return to the court, I will report to the court to make a plan for the development of Liuqiu. If you are willing to serve as the first governor of Liuqiu, then I will recommend you to the court."
"If you don't want to, don't force it. We will ask the court to appoint other officials when the time comes."
"Don't think too much. The Lord Protector said that you are an upright official and dedicated to serving the people. That's why I gave you this opportunity!"
Yuantuna stood there stupidly, with a face ashen as death.
He really wanted to say, Your Highness, you can give this opportunity to whomever you like.
But he didn't dare to refuse Li Chengqian.
Only then did Yuan Gang realize: Su Chen didn't mean to deliberately mess with him.
Instead, Prince Li Chengqian, Su Chen and Fang Xuanling teamed up to deal with this little Fuzhou governor!
These three people had agreed to take him to Liuqiu!
Yuantuna was so heartbroken that she couldn't speak: You three big guys bully me, a small local official, like this!
It's a pity that I have worked hard for the imperial court for half my life, and it ended like this!
"Hey! Why are you so stunned?
Your Royal Highness, are you waiting for your reply?"
Su Chen pushed Yuan Gang who was stunned.
"I will obey His Majesty's orders!"
Minamoto Tsuna bowed tremblingly and replied.
He has been in the officialdom for half his life, and when these three big guys come to him, there is no room for him to refuse!
Not to mention that the three of them came to him together, even one of them was not something he could resist.
"Don't think it's us taking care of you. If you hadn't done a good job in Fuzhou, this good thing wouldn't have been your turn!"
Su Chen patted Yuan Gang on the shoulder and said.
Yuantuna: "Thank you, Your Highness and the two princes for your cultivation!"
Can I say please give this good thing to others?
"You are scolding us in your heart, right?"
Su Chen smiled.
Yuantuna said hurriedly: "I don't dare!"
I want to greet eight generations of your ancestors!
"I'm too lazy to talk to you now. I'll settle the score with you later. Then you'll be beaten and beaten!"
"Okay! Go back and continue to be your Fuzhou governor,"
"The Ryukyu matter will take some time!"
"Look at how excited you are, your clothes are soaked!"
Su Chen smiled and said to Yuan Gang.
Minamoto Tsuna: Am I excited?
I was scared and desperate!
Yuantuna also understood now:
The Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty and the two top men in the court came to him, and they probably didn't want him to die in Liuqiu!
They don't have to go to such trouble if they want to kill themselves!
After sending Yuan Gang back, Li Chengqian said leisurely: "Isn't this a bit bullying for us?"
Su Chen: "It's not a little bit, it's very bullying!"
Fang Xuanling: "There is nothing we can do about it. All the officials in the Tang Dynasty would rather be exiled to Yazhou than go to Liuqiu."
Li Chengqian said worriedly: "I'm just worried that if we are busy here, what will happen if my father doesn't agree?"
Fang Xuanling glanced at Su Chen and said to Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, don't worry, I think the Lord Protector has a way to convince your Majesty!"
Seeing Li Chengqian looking at him, Su Chen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I want to tell your Majesty that in three years, the tax revenue from Liuqiu will exceed that of one Shangzhou. What do you think your Majesty will do?"
Li Chengqian: "If someone else says that, my father will throw him to Liuqiu to feed the wild beasts."
"Teacher said so, my father will send the imperial government to Ryukyu to participate in the development!"
"Isn't this the solution!"
Su Chen smiled.
Fang Xuanling: "I have never heard of this Yuan Gang, is he really worthy of such a big job?"
Su Chen: "What he did in Fuzhou is remarkable. He is serious and meticulous in his work. He can be called a capable official!"
Li Chengqian: "I sent someone to check his details. There is no problem with his loyalty!"
After Li Chengqian heard about Yuan Gang last year, he became very interested in him and sent Baiqisi to investigate Yuan Gang in detail:
The ancestor of Yuan Gang, the governor of Fuzhou, was a member of the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei. He entered the Central Plains during the Northern Zhou Dynasty and settled in Hedong. Later, he changed his surname to Yuan.
Among the Xianbei aristocrats, he was one of the worse off. He had rarely entered the central government and had been hanging around in local official circles.
If this continues, it will be considered a powerful local power.
But when Yuan Gang and his father were serving as officials, they got mad and followed Yang Xuangan to rebel, and as a result Yang Guang wiped out their clan!
Yuan Gang was young and escaped to Jinyang to escape the disaster, but there was basically no one at home.
When Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, young Yuan Gang ran to join Li Yuan's army, and he was considered a hero of Conglong!
At that time, after Li Yuan went south to capture Chang'an, he gave Yuan Gang the position of county magistrate in Hedong. This was not bad for the young Yuan Gang.
However, he had not been the county magistrate for two years. Liu Wuzhou came from the north to fight.
Yuanzuna was captured and almost beheaded by Yuchi Gong.
Later, Li Er defeated Liu Wuzhou and regained Hedong.
Seeing that Yuangang was one of the few local officials in Hedong County who did not give in, he was very happy.
Promote him to the position of Governor of Jiang!
In other words, when Minamoto Tsuna was four years old in martial arts, he was already a fifth-grade governor. It can be said that he has achieved success at a young age.
According to his qualifications, he should rise to the top in the future.
As a result, Yuan Gang had been living in Fuzhou until now and became the governor of Xiazhou in Fuzhou.
Fuzhou was not a good place in the first two years. It was the lower state among lower states.
Imperial officials would rather serve as county magistrates in the Central Plains than come here.
It was only after Su Chen fell in love with this place that it gradually gained some popularity.
Baiqisi has inquired about it and found out that Yuan Gang has been working in the local area for more than ten years, and his official reputation is not bad.
