The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 497 Official Arrival

On August 25, 28th year of Tai'an, there are still three days before the ceremony of inheriting the sky.

Outside the south gate of Yuanyang, two carriages and a group of soldiers were slowly rushing towards the city gate.

Inside the carriage, Lauren couldn't help but lift the curtain, and glanced at the tall Yuanyang city wall in the distance.

"I came back in less than two months!" Lauren said with emotion.

At this moment, the carriage was extremely crowded, besides Luo Lun and the three county magistrates, there were seven other officials.

There were ten officials in the carriage in front, and there were also ten people in the carriage behind, with carefully selected civilians inside.

The two cars of them are the Yuanyang representative team in the Tiantian Ceremony.

After Luo Lun finished speaking, a county magistrate in the carriage said, "My lord, a lot has happened in less than two months!"

"That's right, in the past one month or so, the Royal Palace's army has regained many counties and rescued many people!"

"Now, only Ning Yang has not recovered, and it won't take much time to come!"

"Not only that, the autumn harvest is also progressing smoothly. Although there have been accidents so far, there have been no casualties!"

Hearing the words of his subordinates, Luo Lun couldn't help laughing and said, "You guys are well-informed!"

Immediately, a county magistrate replied: "My lord, the palace doesn't issue a residence report every three days. It's hard for us to know these things!"

Lauren stroked his beard and said, "That's true!"

At this time, another county magistrate asked: "My lord, I heard that in a month or so, there will be a group of students graduating from the Lizheng Academy, who will soon be assigned to work in a county government?"

"It's true, but I don't know exactly when I will graduate!" Lauren replied.

"The most important thing is that the news is true, which is really great!" The magistrate said very happily.

The county magistrates who have this kind of thinking actually occupy the majority, because most of them are facing difficulties that no one can use.

Officers and arresters are recruited casually as long as they have food and pay, but there is no way to directly recruit civil servants who can read and write.

In some county government offices with extremely low configuration, only the county magistrate can read and write, and many things have to be done by himself.

Taking out the water bottle from under the seat, Luo Lun took a sip and said, "And I also heard from the Ji Shan Institute that students who perform well will be directly awarded the post of county magistrate!"

Nowadays, most of the prefects and counties in Longyou started as small officials in Yuanyang, and they were released as county magistrates by virtue of their own abilities.

It can be said that these officials have talents, and more importantly, they have the ability to govern.

Hearing now that some people in Lizheng Academy were awarded the post of magistrate without starting from the lowest level of officials, most people feel unbalanced.

Maybe because he saw that his subordinates were out of balance, Luo Lun continued: "The outstanding person in the Lizheng School was awarded the post of county magistrate. This is His Highness's intention!"

What Luo Lun said was that since it was Zhao Yanxun's decision, there was no possibility of changing it.

Everyone stopped talking immediately, and the carriage had also been inspected and entered Yuanyang Prefecture.

The carriage continued north, and they had to go to Longqianfang. Foreign officials "entering the court" had to have an audience first, which was the rule.

But the closer it was to Longqianfang, the more people there were on the street, and the more crowded the street became.

"What's going on here?" Lauren wondered.

A small official in the carriage, who had been listening carefully to the conversations of the people on the street, explained at this moment: "My lord, these people also went to Longqianfang!"

"Your Highness has a direct heir, and they are here to congratulate him!"

In fact, as long as you listen to it a little, you can understand the purpose of these people, so at this moment, Luo Lun is not surprised.

"It's a good thing that the people love His Highness!" Lauren sighed.

Having been an official and a student for decades, Luo Lun has accumulated profound political skills, and even more knowledgeable about the past and the present.

Zhao Yanxun, who has won the support of the people for thousands of years, is already comparable to the sage kings and sages who have descended from three generations in Luo Lun's view.

Thinking of this, Lauren's carriage continued to move forward, the speed became slower and slower, and finally stopped altogether.

The soldiers driving the cart outside reported: "My lords, I really can't move forward!"

Luo Lun stepped out of the carriage and saw that Wuyang Wuyang was full of people in front of him. He was at least two streets away from the palace.

What surprised him even more was that there was another carriage trapped in front, and an acquaintance walked out of it.

Seeing the actions of Liu Jinghui and the others in front of him, Luo Lun couldn't help laughing, then turned back to the carriage and said, "Get out of the carriage, let's walk to the palace!"

Walking to the palace is the only effective idea at the moment, and it is basically impossible to go there in a carriage.

Everyone got out of the carriage, walked forward amidst the crowd, and soon came to the front of the carriage and behind everyone.

"Fu Zun, Lord Luo Lunluo is behind!"

Hearing the reminder from his subordinates, Ma Baokun turned around, and sure enough, he saw that Luo Lun was already ten feet away.

Letting him go to the side of the road, Ma Baokun bowed his hands to Luo Lun and said, "I have seen Mr. Luo!"

Although Luo Lun and Ma Baokun were both prefects, they were once the chief envoy of Beidi County, and Ma Baokun was a junior in front of Luo Lun.

I only heard Luo Lun sigh with emotion: "Prefect Ma, your Highness has a direct heir, it can be said that the whole world is celebrating!"

Ma Baokun replied: "Your Highness is virtuous, loves the common people, and rescues all people. He is a natural and sacred person, so he is naturally loved by the common people!"

So the two walked together and approached the palace amidst the crowds. During this period, they had to keep reminding the people around them not to get separated at this time.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, they saw a large open space outside the palace, which was already full of congratulatory people.

"Lord Luo, it seems that we can't enter the main entrance, we can only enter the palace through the side entrance!" Ma Baokun said helplessly.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground and kowtowing devoutly, Lauren was also greatly shocked.

Such a virtuous king, how can he not do the work of a dog and a horse?Although already over 40, but at the moment Lauren is still aroused by the teen fever.

So much so that at this moment he thought of the excitement he felt when he was a Jinshi and was called outside the Shenwu Gate.

After the passion in his heart gradually dissipated, Lauren replied: "Then enter through the west gate!"

So they detoured again, walked a full mile, and were able to enter the palace after showing their ID cards.

A group of officials came to Jinshen Hall, expecting to meet Zhao Yanxun smoothly, but they were turned away unexpectedly.

Sitting on the steps outside the hall, Huo An looked at the officials kneeling on the steps, and said slowly: "My lords, the prince has gone to Yongfu Palace now, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you today!"

"Before he left, the prince said that if an official came to see him, it would be considered a ceremony if he bowed his head and saluted. You have been traveling so hard, you can go to the post to rest first!"

"The ministers will obey the king's order!"

After all the officials said this, they got angry from the ground, and then withdrew from the Jinshen door.

When everyone walked out of Yong'an Gate, a magistrate said: "Your Highness loves the heir so much, it seems that the position of the son has been decided!"

At first, everyone was still chatting in low voices, but after hearing this, the conversation of everyone stopped suddenly, and the scene became dead silent.

Then, as if they were looking at the God of Plague, everyone quickened their pace and threw this person away.

"you……"

The county magistrate wanted to say something, but immediately he figured out the key points, and then slapped himself twice.

With your stinking mouth, you can make wild comments on the candidate for the son?Thinking of this, the magistrate slapped himself twice again.

Zhao Yanxun was arbitrary, and the royal family followed suit. It is undoubtedly a great arrogance to say who is the son of the prince without expressing his opinion.

It's no wonder that other people avoid him like a plague god, who is willing to share this risk with him!
