Chapter 153: The First Su Chuan of the Government Office
Su Lu was carried into the Qinzheng Hall and was stunned when he heard that he had been appointed as the governor of Yanjing.
I am from the fourth rank, General Mingwei, Founding Marquis, and I am a military general no matter how you look at it!
To be a futile Yanjing governor is obviously a demotion and inappropriate.
Li Dingyuan saw Su Lu's expression and knew that Su Lu was unhappy. Considering that he was transferred from a fourth-rank general to a fifth-rank governor, especially after he had just accomplished the great feat of escorting the emperor, he would definitely not be happy either.
Li Qing put Su Lu down on the chair and explained in a low voice:
"The governors of various places have to take charge of the army and take charge of the people. You have been serving as the Yin of Yanjing for a period of time. In the future, you will be sent to other places. You can take on any kind of job."
Li Qing's meaning is very clear. You are mine now. If you have been a governor for a while and have enough experience, you will definitely be released as a military governor in the future.
It doesn't matter if Su Lu is not a military governor, but the position of commander of an army cannot always be dispensed with. Up to now, the corresponding soldier cards and battle formation cards have not been issued, which is really worrying.
"I am a military commander."
Su Lu looked at Li Dingyuan and said.
Li Dingyuan sat on the dragon chair and waved his hand: "Promoted to the rank of nobility, granted the title of first-class marquis, hereditary succession."
Su Lu turned around and asked Li Qing next to him: "How long will my founding prince be waiting for?"
"Third class, the last class."
Li Qing said.
Su Lu thought for a while, the monthly salary for the third waiting class was one million dollars, and the monthly salary for the first waiting class would be at least double, about two million dollars. Looking at it this way, it was quite good.
Last night, Erniu held her purse and shouted that she didn't have enough money to order lanterns. It should be enough this time.
Li Dingyuan saw that Su Lu didn't ask any more questions, so he said seriously:
"Su Qing, you have saved me from fire and water many times, and I will not treat you badly. Since the founding of our country, we have awarded countless princes and princes, but you, Su Lu, are the only one who can inherit hereditary power."
Su Lu said respectfully: "I understand, but as a military general serving as a civilian official, I always feel a little uncomfortable."
Li Dingyuan said nonchalantly: "It's okay, you are just going to be gilded. In a few days, you will definitely be sent out. At that time, whether you will be the admiral in charge of the military and administration of a state, or the military and civilians at the border, it is up to you."
Su Lu heard this and asked tentatively: "Is it okay if I don't sit in the office every day?"
Hearing this, Li Dingyuan looked at Gao Zhan next to him in confusion: "Why, the governor of Yanjing still has to sit in the Yamen every day?"
Gao Zhan replied: "That's not possible. The governor of Yanjing is open on odd days and only works on even days."
Li Dingyuan rolled his eyes and thought that since Su Lu asked, he must not be willing to work patiently in the government office. Anyway, he did not expect him to achieve any political achievements in the government office.
"Okay, I understand, just do whatever you want. Don't make it too difficult for me. I still have to explain to you in the three provinces."
Su Luxin said that although Li Dingyuan was not a good emperor, judging from his behavior towards her, he was really a good person.
Zhao Pu and Li Lin strode in, followed by a forbidden soldier who pushed Su Lu's scooter in.
"Reporting to your Majesty, all the assassins were killed. One of the great warriors of Thule was captured alive, twelve martial arts figures were seriously injured, and countless others were killed."
Li Dingyuan waved his hand: "The dead man has his head, and built a temple outside the city to suppress the other countries. Let the envoys of the Tang Dynasty also take a look. They want my two counties in Xiting without plucking a cent. What a beautiful idea."
Zhao Pu took the order and went.
Li Dingyuan continued to order: "All those who survived were revived and tortured. I want to see how they entered Yanjing and sneaked into the imperial city."
Speaking of this, Li Dingyuan glanced at Li Qing with a somewhat resentful tone:
"Qing'er, you didn't do well this time. As the governor, the enemy has entered the palace without being discovered. If my guards hadn't been alert, I would have been doomed."
Li Qing sighed and said nothing. Who can be blamed for this? It cannot be said that you did not allow Concubine Xiao to be severely punished, otherwise why would it have developed to this point?
Li Dingyuan scolded Li Qing, glanced at Su Lu, and swallowed the rest of his words.
Qing'er made all kinds of mistakes and mistakes, but she discovered Su Lu and brought Su Lu down from the bottom. This is a huge contribution. No matter how great Su Lu's achievements are in the future, her recommendation is to run away.
Can't fall off.
"That's it this time, it won't happen next time."
Li Dingyuan said lightly, raised his arms, and walked towards the back hall without waiting for the civil officials who had hurriedly arrived to speak.
Gao Zhan flicked the fly whisk in his hand and looked at the officials Shangshu Ling and Zhongshu Ling Guo Ping who had entered the palace gate one after another, and said in a sharp voice:
"Your Majesty, please rest in peace. All ministers will retreat. We will discuss matters at court tomorrow morning."
After Gao Zhan finished speaking, he turned around and fled to the back hall.
Zhongshu ordered Guo Ping to take a few hurried steps, almost rushing up the imperial steps, and grabbed Gao Zhan's sleeve.
"Eunuch Gao, the emperor is injured. Is it serious? Have you summoned the imperial doctor?"
Gao Zhan had a smile on his face: "Mr. Guo is kidding me. With General Su here and the Governor here, who can hurt Your Majesty?"
Li Huaiyuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, asked eagerly:
"Since your Majesty is fine, can you tell me what the imperial decree is for these thieves who broke into the palace? I think there are still some thieves who are still alive, so why don't you kill them all so that you can show off my glorious power?"
Minister Ling Zuo Ping walked to Su Lu casually, noticed the blood on Su Lu's trousers, and asked:
"General Su is injured, is it serious?"
Su Lu waved his hand indifferently, moved to the scooter with Li Qing's help, looked at Zuo Ping and said:
"Thank you, Minister Zuo, for taking care of me. A few minor injuries are nothing to worry about. If nothing happens to you, Prime Minister, I will retire."
Zuo Ping's face was warm: "General Su, just go ahead. It's important to treat your injuries. If necessary, I'm still a bit thin. I know a few Xinglin sages who can recommend them to the general."
Su Lu smiled and thanked him, urging Li Qing to push the car away.
As soon as the two people left the hall, they heard angry roars from behind.
"What, let Su Lu be the governor of Yanjing!"
"Nonsense, he is a military general, he doesn't know how to govern civil affairs."
"I want to see the emperor and be promoted from the third rank to the first rank. This reward is too much."
"It doesn't make sense for the Ministry of Household Affairs to pay out the pension money. The Ministry of Household Affairs has already paid out most of the money for the last pension."
Amidst the noise, Su Lu walked out of the hall and was pushed back home by Li Qing.
It was an uneventful night, but the next day, before Su Lu woke up, he heard a lot of noise in the yard.
"I'm not bragging to you. If the Marquis becomes governor, all the old cases accumulated by our government office will be solved."
"If you don't believe it, that's because you haven't seen how powerful Mr. Hou is in solving cases like a god. There is no such thing as a difficult case."
"Last time, the case of who was the thief was solved easily by the Marquis."
"I don't need to tell you about the case of Mr. Luo's murder. Have you ever seen such a method of solving a case? It's clean and neat, and there are no accidental injuries. As long as the knife is not clean, it must have been tampered with."
Su Lu was a little confused. I didn't ask anyone to brag about me.
With the help of Niba and Erniu, Su Lu got dressed and asked the waiter who was holding the wash water at the door: "Why is the yard so busy? Who is making the noise?"
Xiao Si curled his lips and said: "My lord, your current subordinate, the government office has arrested Zhao Kuo. Now it has been spread among the government offices in Yanjing that he is the number one Su Lu Chui. He brags about how awesome you are, sir, to everyone he meets."
Su Lu was confused: Su Chui, the first in the government office...
