Chapter Thirteen: Dismissal from Office and Appointment of Concubine
A war that seemed difficult to fight was solved by Mo Yu Wuhuan in a few clicks. Hundreds of thousands of rebels just disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace of their bodies. The new emperor became a solid figure in the eyes of the people. A benevolent king without restraint, a wise man.
They were supposed to leave Suzhou without incident, but a problem arose. As the city lord, Shen Yuan could no longer win the trust of Mo Yu Wuhuan, because the 10,000 rebels were killed this time, and the city lord Shen was extremely dissatisfied. .
Suzhou is the second largest city after the Imperial Capital. If something unexpected happens, it will involve the Imperial Capital and create a crisis of national subjugation.
Although he is Shen Yuyao's father, Shen Yuan is not a simple person, and he is afraid that he will leave hidden dangers for himself in the future, so Mo Yu Wuhuan issued an incredible edict with a stroke of his pen.
According to heaven's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: "For his meritorious service in quelling the rebellion, Shen Yuan, the lord of Suzhou City, was given a special reward of 10,000 taels of gold, 50,000 taels of silver, two pairs of Ruyi jade, six blue emeralds, and a pair of luminous pearls. He was granted the title of Nanyu Scholar by the Jin Dynasty." , be promoted to a first-class official, and move into the imperial capital’s academic residence.”
Hearing the imperial edict, Shen Yuan was like a blow to the head. It sounded like an edict to promote promotion to a higher position, but Shen Yuan couldn't be happy at all. To outsiders, it seemed like a good job to get promoted and make a fortune. Only he understood that the new emperor did not trust him and wanted to Remove yourself from the official title of the first city lord of Nanyu Kingdom, and then give it to a bachelor with no authority to lead it - a scholar.
Then an imperial edict was announced, and the emperor's edict was carried by heaven: "The Shen family has a daughter Shen Yuyao, who is talented, intelligent, virtuous and virtuous. She fell in love with me at first sight and fell in love with her deeply. She was specially named Jade Noble Concubine and stayed with me in the palace. "
Sure enough, Mo Yu Wuhuan's move was really clever. He gave her a sweet date with a slap. Shen Yuan was originally very dissatisfied with the dismissal, but the new emperor turned around and made his daughter a noble concubine. What an honor it is. Since then, no matter how much pain you have in your heart, you can't say anything. If you are not satisfied, you are just messing around.
Knowing Mo Yu Wuhuan's character, Shen Yuan didn't say anything. He just smiled bitterly and thanked the imperial edict, but he was thinking in his heart: "Yao'er, what kind of man do you fall in love with? Can you be happy?"
Indeed, Mo Yu Wuhuan's move was to cross the river and burn the bridge. After using Shen Yuan, he immediately dismissed his official position and dragged him to his eyes to become a scholar. But he, Shen Yuan, was a martial artist who conquered the world on horseback all his life. In the end, he became a civil servant.
What everyone is most concerned about right now is not this, but the number one city in the world, Suzhou. Who will take over it in the future?
On the way back, Mo Yu Wuhuan racked his brains and thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of a suitable candidate. Shen Yuan must not be used anymore. Yan Yu is trustworthy. The key is that he is smart. If Yan Yu leaves, he will There is one less counselor in the imperial capital, Duan Jinghan?
He is not inferior to Shen Yuan in terms of essays and martial arts. Although he is young, he is already a rare talent. However, the most difficult thing is that the Duan family has an agreement with the late emperor. He has not been an official in the court for generations, and the family has been doing business for generations. He will not take office.
Then I thought about a few people from the Zhongli family, but I felt it was inappropriate, because it was difficult for the Zhongli family to achieve great things, they were all mediocre people, and they were really not qualified to manage Suzhou.
Suddenly an idea flashed in my mind, yes, it was him...
