Dragon blood bodyguard of the beauty president

Chapter 3714
After Qi Guogong fell ill, the rebels who were already in panic became more and more uneasy.

The people in the city were full of rumors. Some said that the Duke of Qi had died of illness, some said that the Duke of Qi was about to leave Jiangnan, and some said that the imperial court had sent a new imperial envoy to take over Qiantang Prefecture.

There are also rumors that Qi Guogong has embezzled the grain and grass for the people, and will be investigated by the court soon.

All kinds of rumors are obviously carefully planned by someone secretly.

Throughout Jiangnan, people's hearts are floating.

In the chaos, the emperor specially sent an imperial envoy, Tong Guan, the privy envoy in charge of the reconstruction of Jiangnan, to bring a group of officials to Jiangnan.

It was not the first time for Tong Guan and many officials to go to the south of the Yangtze River. They originally planned to visit the mountains and rivers here to enjoy themselves.

Unexpectedly, all the way south, if you look around, you will see dilapidated cities.

Wherever they went, some counties and villages were empty cities without people.

Large tracts of fields are barren and overgrown with weeds.

Originally, there is heaven above and Jiangnan below.

Who knew that the current Jiangnan has turned into ruins, and there is no trace of heaven.

After they arrived in Qiantang Prefecture, the walls on all sides collapsed, and the city was also full of ruins, with countless refugees.

A group of officials all sullen their faces in disappointment. It seems that it is not easy to make money in this place.

Those officials who flattered Tong Guan held a grand welcome ceremony for Tong Guan.

The people in Qiantang Prefecture knew that Tong Guan was coming, and they all gathered at the pier, wanting to ask the imperial envoy for food.

They drank porridge all day for the past two days, and all of them were hungry and thin, and their walking was a little unsteady.

The grain that Duke Qi promised to them has not yet been delivered.

They went to find Qi Guogong outside the Duke's mansion, but there was a serious illness guarding outside the door, and Qi Guogong didn't come out at all.

No matter what reason you have, the common people will scold your mother if you don't give them food.

It is a complete villain to say that Qi Guogong is dishonest.

It's not as good as Fang La to scold the court, at least when Fang La ruled here, the big guy still stuttered.

It's good now, Fang La is down, and everyone can only drink porridge.

They pinned their hopes on the imperial envoy, and a million people, old and young, gathered at the port.

After Tong Guan's ship docked, there was a lot of pomp.

Some guards held signs reading "Avoid" and "Quiet".

At the back are the official title badges of the imperial army, iron chains, wooden sticks, black sheath whips, pumpkins, tail guns, black fans, and yellow umbrellas.

Some people "sounded the gong to clear the way" and reminded idlers to avoid it.

These forbidden soldiers were wearing brand new shiny armor.

All of them are tall and tall, with cold knives across their waists and spears in their hands.

The army is neat and tidy, and the steps are like thunder.

The common people shouted after watching, "This is the royal master of the imperial court!"

"That's right, they look much brighter than the rebels!"

"The forbidden army of the imperial court is more magnificent than the rebel army!"

"This ostentation is really big enough. Qi Guogong travels, but there is no such ostentation!"

"Nonsense, this is the Privy Envoy!"

"I heard that the Privy Envoy is a traitor?"

"Keep your voice down, you don't want to die!"

"..."

Everyone discussed, and the field was chaotic.

Under the greeting of all the officials, Tong Guan led a group of people ashore, looked around, and called someone to come over with displeasure, "Why didn't Duke Qi come?"

Ma Zhiyuan, the former magistrate of Qiantang Prefecture, came forward nervously, and bowed to Tong Guan to report, "Reporting to the Privy Councilor, Qi Guogong has worked hard for days, and suddenly fell ill in bed recently, and has been in a coma for two days!"

"Oh?"

Tong Guan's face immediately pulled down.

Gao Qiu snorted coldly at the side, "I don't get sick in the morning, I don't get sick in the evening, but I fell ill when the Privy Envoy came. Qi Guogong is really good at timing!"

The faces of the generals who came to greet him on the field were all ugly.

The rebels were already full of opinions on him, but many of them still had deep hatred for him.

Now that Gao Lian said such words, he couldn't help but make all the generals angry.

Wu Yong winked at the generals in front, telling everyone to be patient.

Tong Guan raised his hand and said with a high attitude, "It's okay, the Duke of Qi has worked hard for the people and the country, and now he is seriously ill and unconscious. I can empathize with him, so why bother with him."

Gao Qiu and all the officials immediately flattered him, "The Privy Envoy is really a magnanimous person."

"The privy envoy is a role model for my generation!"

"It's an honor for me to have a boss like Privy Envoy!"

"Who says no, to be able to work for the privy envoy, that is the blessing of my three lifetimes!"

Tong Guan stroked his sparse beard, raised his head proudly and laughed.

The imperial guards in front blew the gong to clear the way for the people on the field to get out of the way, preparing to let the Privy Envoy and a group of officials get on their sedan chairs and leave.

Unexpectedly, instead of getting out of the way, the common people crowded together one by one, stepped forward and knelt down on the ground with Tong Guan, and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, stop."

After someone took the lead, the people on the field immediately fell to their knees.

The officials on the field shouted nervously, "Get up, what are you all doing?"

"Get up, what is this for?"

"Don't make trouble, get up for me!"

"..."

The officials were afraid that the common people would be messing around, so they hurriedly winked at their subordinates, wanting them to disperse all the common people.

When Tong Guan first came to Jiangnan, he naturally had to put on a high posture of being upright and honest, petitioning for the people.

He turned his head and waved at the officials, "Shut up all of you, the people have something to say, can you stop it?"

"The officer is wrong!"

"The privy envoy taught the lesson very well!"

"..."

The officials bowed and saluted one after another, and stood aside respectfully.

Tong Guan looked at the people and signaled, "Everyone has something to say, I am here to inspect the south of the Yangtze River under the order of the emperor, and I will plead for everyone."

The people were excited, and they all howled loudly, "Your Imperial Envoy is a holy man!"

"Master Imperial Envoy, we don't have anything to ask for, but we only ask that the Imperial Envoy open a large warehouse as soon as possible to help the victims!"

"Master Imperial Envoy, we haven't had enough to eat for many days. If this continues, everyone will starve to death!"

"Also ask the imperial envoy to save everyone!"

"..."

Officials at all levels looked at me and I looked at you, coughing dryly, avoiding the eyes of the common people.

Tong Guan pretended to say, "Fathers and folks, don't worry, after I find out the situation, I will definitely meet everyone's requirements, raise supplies from all over the country, relieve the victims, and restore normal order in Qiantang Prefecture."

"Your Imperial Envoy, Shengming!"

"Long live the imperial envoy!"

"Long live the imperial envoy!"

"..."

The shouts of the people came and went, shaking the entire sky of Qiantang Prefecture.

Among the rebels, the generals who knew Tong Guan and his followers were all disgusted by what they heard.

These treacherous ministers only know how to harm others, so there is no such thing as a wise move.

They worked hard to help the people conquer the south of the Yangtze River, but now they have the name of oppressing the people and embezzling food and grass.

They feel injustice for Qi Guogong and resentment for these blind people.

There was a nameless anger simmering in everyone's heart. They didn't expect that after the battle, they would look like this.

Obviously it was the fruit of their victory, but the imperial court handed it over to others.
