Chapter 216 How much do you think I look like before?
It is normal for one emperor to have one courtier.
Gu Cheng was in charge of Nanyi County before, but now someone has changed. What these gangsters fear most is that the new official's appointment will affect their previous interests.
Now that they heard Yu Yuanhai make such a promise, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Although verbal promises cannot be kept accurately, promises made by masters like Yu Yuanhai are generally very accurate.
In fact, this means that Yu Yuanhai is one of his own, and he is also relatively generous and confident.
If you were a stingy or stubborn person, they would definitely be unwilling to follow the rules and routes of their predecessors.
Even if there is nothing wrong with the former, they will forcefully change just to show their differences.
But Yu Yuanhai would not be like this. Gu Cheng was a member of the Zhengtian Alliance. When he just said that Gu Cheng was one of his own, he was not referring to Jingyesi, but to the Zhengtian Alliance.
As one of the seven people who founded the Heaven Confrontation Alliance, if he still did such a small-minded thing, it would be a bit too low-priced.
After greeting for a while, everyone felt relieved and dispersed. However, before leaving, everyone bowed to Gu Cheng and said, "Best farewell to Mr. Gu!"
To be honest, although Gu Cheng stayed in Nanyi County for a short time, everyone lived a relatively comfortable life during his time in Nanyi County. At least Gu Cheng was able to protect the interests of most people.
For those small and medium-sized sects, this is exactly what they value.
Yu Yuanhai was a little surprised and said: "I didn't expect you to have such great prestige in Nanyi County. Controlling a county, you can be regarded as equal to kindness and power. I must learn from you."
Gu Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "Senior Yu is joking, my strength is limited, so I need to use various means to control Nanyi County.
If I had the strength, I would actually want to do it more simply and crudely, after all, it would be more worry-free and trouble-free."
Yu Yuanhai shook his head and said: "I am not joking, I am serious. I have no experience working at the bottom of Jingyesi. Although the Jingyesi headquarters in the capital has a high position, there are only a few people fighting around.
Yes, so I really don’t have as much experience in dealing with these people as you do.”
Gu Cheng said at this time: "By the way, Senior Yu, when I return to Donglin County this time, can I bring some of my close men back with me?"
Yu Yuanhai waved his hand and said: "Of course, these people are recruited by you and trained by you. Of course, they will follow you in the end."
Yu Yuanhai doesn't care about these characters. After he takes office, he will definitely cultivate some of his confidants. Moreover, with his strength, he really doesn't need to care too much about how his subordinates are doing.
Yu Yuanhai worked in a grand manner, and Gu Cheng didn't go too far. He only wanted two people, Chen Danggui and Kou Andu, and some trustworthy elites under his command, about a hundred people.
Gu Cheng, Taoist Mengshan and other three people, did not ask for it. Although they had a good relationship with Gu Cheng, they were not true confidants. The two parties were equal before, and their submission to Gu Cheng in the end also had a hint of cooperation.
Especially Huang Laojiao.
Moreover, the three of them are all practitioners comparable to the sixth grade, and Gu Cheng is only a sixth grade practitioner. It is somewhat against the rules to take them to Donglin County.
After the discussion, the Ninth Prince Li Xiaojun handed over all the procedures for Gu Cheng to take office. He cupped his hands in a quack-like manner and said to Gu Cheng, "I wish Sir Gu an immediate success this time."
Li Xiaojun did not call himself the king because he was not crowned king.
Generally speaking, according to the rules of Daqian, a prince can choose a fief to be crowned king at any time after he reaches the age of sixteen.
There are even some favored princes and princesses who were crowned kings right after they were born.
But the Ninth Prince is more miserable. His presence in the Daqian royal family is really low. Those older than him already have fiefdoms and thrones, and several minors younger than him have also been crowned kings. He is the only one who is still alone. Apart from the title of a prince, the power in his hands is really not as much as that of the nobles in the dynasty.
"Thank you very much for the Ninth Prince's good words. Won't the Ninth Prince return to the capital this time?"
Li Xiaozhun nodded and said: "I won't go back for the time being. Fourth brother still has some things that I need to handle in Nanjiu County. These things are somewhat confidential, and he doesn't feel at ease when others come."
Previously, Gu Cheng felt that he, a down-and-out noble, was already very miserable. Apart from a title, he was even inferior to those from rich families.
But compared to the Ninth Prince in front of him, he seemed even more miserable.
We are both princes, but we are all princes. What they think about all day long is how to fight for the throne and dominate the world, but he can only help others run errands in secret, in order to get a throne that should belong to him, but now he has not got it. .
After saying goodbye to everyone, Gu Cheng did not delay and took the people back to Donglin County.
When Gu Cheng left Donglin County, he was forced to leave in a state of embarrassment. Jing Yesi's position was not guaranteed and he was hunted alone.
Now more than a year has passed, and his strength and power are almost completely different from before, and he still has a strong enough backing behind him.
At this time, he was thinking randomly in his mind, what should he say to Xie Anzhi when he saw him again?
I'm standing in front of you, how do you think I look like before?
………………
Gu Cheng would naturally not express his secondary thoughts before.
After working hard all the way, it took him more than a month to arrive at Jingyesi, Lin'an Prefecture, Donglin County. He handed over the official document above and waited leisurely in the hall. The Xuanjia guards who were walking around were all surprised. Waiting for multiple looks to look at him.
They knew about Gu Cheng, to be more precise, everyone knew about it.
Donglin County is a relatively stable county in the Central Plains. On weekdays, no major events happen. Especially with Xie Anzhi, an envoy who is good at conciliation, even if there is a major event, he will suppress it and turn it into a major event. It's small, it's a trivial matter.
In the end, Gu Cheng risked his life and killed Governor Hong, which could be said to be a hard slap on Xie Anzhi's face.
They had heard about it, and later when Xie Anzhi was asked to explain by Xuanwu Zhenzong people, he was so angry that he dropped his cup several times.
However, I have to say that they were quite impressed by Gu Cheng's move. Although they did not dare to say anything, they secretly praised Gu Cheng's loyalty in their hearts.
Whether it is the Xuanjia Guards in Lin'an City or the Xuanjia Guards in various prefectures, it is true that they are from Jingyesi, but they are also doing the work of tying their heads to their belts.
They seem to be majestic on weekdays, but when they encounter some terrifying monsters, ghosts, demons, etc., shouldn't they be asked to rush forward?
Encountering those gangsters and martial arts forces who caused trouble was even more troublesome, and it was like walking on thin ice.
In this environment, who wouldn't want a boss like Gu Cheng who can stand up for himself and dare to stand up for himself?
It's a pity that they also know that doing this will not end well. Gu Cheng stood up for his men, but in the end he was forced out of Donglin County and fled in embarrassment.
But today they saw Gu Cheng again in Lin'an Mansion. Isn't this amazing enough?
Those who came and went were ordinary Xuanjia guards. Their channels were limited. Naturally, they didn’t know how big a deal Gu Cheng had done in Nanyi County, but they only knew when they saw Gu Cheng sitting here arrogantly.
, I'm afraid Gu Cheng is no longer what he used to be this time.
At this time, in the inner hall of Jingyesi, Xie Anzhi looked at the document issued from above and slammed the cup in his hand to the ground, smashing it into pieces.
Others don't know what Gu Cheng did in Nanyi County. As the governor of the town, he naturally knows.
He never thought that the little character who was forced out of Donglin County would grow to this point.
He overthrew Fang Zhenhai, the rebel rebel "King of Chaos Wu" who caused trouble in Nanyi County, and controlled Nanyi County as the commander-in-chief for several months. This feat was truly outstanding and could be said to be rare among Jingyesi.
The most important thing is that this person was once his subordinate Xie Anzhi. Although he did not force Gu Cheng out of Donglin County, he was almost the same as him, because if Gu Cheng had not left as soon as possible, the end would have been even worse.
.
Therefore, some of the governors in the surrounding counties, who vaguely heard the news, secretly mocked Xie Anzhi, saying that he did not know people well.
Gu Cheng became unknown under his command, and was forced to leave in embarrassment. As a result, after leaving Donglin County, he was like a dragon entering the sea, doing one major thing after another. This is not your problem. Who is Xie Anzhi?
The problem?
It doesn't matter if you hear too many rumors like this. Anyway, in Xie Anzhi's opinion, this Gu Cheng is either developing in the south, or he will go to the headquarters of Jingyesi in the capital. There is no chance of meeting him. He is angry.
After a while, I didn't take the matter seriously.
Who would have thought that Gu Cheng would return to Donglin County today? This is simply a slap in Xie Anzhi's face!
Xie Anzhi took a deep breath and looked at the letter with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Although he wanted to make Gu Cheng look good, this document clearly told him that he could no longer touch Gu Cheng casually.
Not only because the other party is now the commander-in-chief, but also because this document was personally sent by the Jingyesi headquarters in the capital.
Generally, the Jingyesi Headquarters in the capital will not personally interfere with the appointment or dismissal of the position of Commander-in-Chief, but will only review it.
If you want to promote someone to be the commander-in-chief, then just submit your name. After the superiors have verified that the other person's identity is OK, they will naturally not stop him.
Whoever you want to remove must submit the reasons and evidence of the crime, and then Yasushi Headquarters will decide whether to remove him or her.
Only in a few areas where the Jingyesi's manpower is really insufficient, the Jingyesi headquarters will personally send people from the headquarters or transfer people at the general level from other places.
Donglin County obviously has no shortage of people. As a result, the capital headquarters has personally ordered the transfer of Gu Cheng to Donglin County, and even specified the position of the commander-in-chief of Nieyang Mansion. These all show the power behind Gu Cheng.
