Dynasty Summons: Low-key Hegemony

Chapter 89 Shen Yan
After the officials left solemnly one by one, the news was about to spread.

"Your Highness, this way please!"

Zheng Shunfa brought Li Yuan to a courtyard with pleasant scenery.

For the next period of time, Li Yuan will live here temporarily.

The courtyard is quiet and beautiful.

Li Yuan was very satisfied, and turned to look at Zheng Shunfa, "Mr. Zheng has a heart."

"It's a blessing to serve His Highness."

Zheng Shunfa bowed his head respectfully.

"This king came to Ziyang County this time to eliminate some unqualified officials in Ziyang County, select some talents with strong ability and clean family background to serve, and benefit the people of one side. Does Zheng Junshou have a list in his hand?"

"There are some."

When Zheng Shunfa saw Li Yuan asking for the list, his expression immediately became excited.

Li Yuan turned his gaze to Wu Ying who had been staying behind Zheng Shunfa, nodded in approval and said:
"This king can see that Zheng Junshou and Wu Xiaowei are loyal to this king. During this time, you two need to cooperate with Zhifu Mo and Commander Chen to rectify Ziyang County."

"The humble minister (the last general) is duty-bound."

Zheng Shunfa and Wu Ying finally settled down.

………………

"Wei Chen (the last general) resigns!"

After Li Yuan explained some more things, he asked them to take Mo Ziyan and Chen Wei to the government office and the guard base camp.

After the figures of the two disappeared, Li Yuan smiled slightly, and continued to sit on the main seat in the hall, gently blowing the hot tea in his hand, waiting for the next person to arrive.

Sure enough, not long after Zheng Shunfa and Wu Ying left, before Li Yuan's tea was cold, the guards outside came to report:
"Your Highness, outside the courtyard, Shen Yan asked to see you, Lord Shen."

"Let them in."

After a while, two figures stepped into the lobby and saluted Li Yuan respectfully.

"The humble minister Shen Yan (Lin Shen) pays his respects to Your Highness!"

Li Yuan put down his teacup, glanced at the nervous expressions of the two, and said with a half-smile:

"Shen Juncheng, Lin Gongcao, I don't know what you want to do with this king?"

Shen Yan and Lin Shen looked at each other, Shen Yan took a step, knelt down and said respectfully:
"I can learn from my loyalty to Your Highness, and I am willing to do my best for His Highness!"

Shen Yan is very direct.

The main reason is that it can't be done directly now, Zheng Shunfa has already taken refuge in the king of Chu.

If I didn't show my loyalty to His Highness in time, if His Highness felt dissatisfied with him and made His Highness dissatisfied, then Zheng Shunfa would seize the opportunity to cooperate with the King of Chu to solve himself, and there would be nowhere to cry.

Lin Shen quickly knelt down and fell on the ground together.

Although Li Yuan couldn't see the faces of the two of them now, he could feel the tension of the two of them at the moment.

Faced with the loyalty of the two, Li Yuan was not surprised at all.

This is the reason why Ziyang County was chosen to take the lead.

"You two please, your loyalty, this king is watching."

Li Yuan got up, walked in front of the two of them, and helped them up.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Shen Yan and Lin Shen showed excitement.

"This king also told Zheng Junshou and Wu Xiaowei just now, as long as you keep yourselves in peace and obey this king's orders, this king will not treat you badly."

"The humble minister will not hesitate to die!"

Shen Yan and Lin Shen blushed, and they said firmly.

"Okay, okay, you are all the king's confidantes."

Li Yuan patted the two shoulders to show their closeness.

Shen Yan and Lin Shen immediately straightened their chests, with expressions of swearing allegiance to Li Yuan.

"Unfortunately, this king suspects that there are still some officials in Ziyang County who have different intentions and are dissatisfied with this king!"

Li Yuan put down his hands, passed them behind his back, and sighed.

Shen Yan and Lin Shen's expressions were shocked, and they finally understood the real purpose of King Chu.

Shen Yan immediately stated: "Lingyang Mansion is His Highness's fiefdom, and His Highness is the sky of Lingyang Mansion. Anyone who disagrees with His Highness deserves death. This minister will definitely assist His Highness in thoroughly investigating all officials in Ziyang County!"

"Okay, Juncheng Shen, I really didn't misread you."

Li Yuan turned to look at Shen Yan, with a wave of trust revealed.

"Officials from all the cities in Ziyang County are entrusted to you and Governor Zheng. I really want to know how many people are loyal to me!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust."

Shen Yan's beard trembled, and he said with a serious expression: "Your Highness, the rest of my ministers can't guarantee it, but there are three city lords, and I guarantee that they will be loyal to His Highness. They have admired His Highness for a long time. Please give me an order to summon They came to meet His Highness!"

"Okay, Juncheng Shen is very capable, let them come to see the king in three days' time!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your gift!"

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Yan and Lin Shen bid farewell to Li Yuan respectfully.

Just outside the courtyard, Shen Yan and Lin Shen glanced at each other, both heaved a sigh of relief, and strode away.

…………

"Clap! Clap! Clap"

In the courtyard, crisp applause sounded.

The graceful Liu Yanxin clapped her hands lightly and walked out from behind with a smile.

"His Majesty the King of Chu has good means. He has easily controlled most of the power in Ziyang City in his hands just one day after he came here."

Liu Yanxin approached Li Yuan, with a faint fragrance, and her tone was full of temptation:

"Using the confrontation between the Zheng Shunfa and Shen Yan factions, they not only have to obey the orders given by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, but also compete with each other to gain a good impression of His Highness.

The city lord they wooed before has become a bargaining chip to curry favor with His Highness.

As long as His Highness sits firmly in this courtyard, the city lords will come here to express their allegiance.

And those city lords who have different intentions have been eliminated by Shen Yan and Zheng Shunfa, His Highness can only use them with peace of mind. "

Li Yuan turned to look at the smiling Liu Yanxin, strolled back to his seat, and said with a faint smile:
"I didn't expect that Liu Shengnv not only has amazing talent in cultivation, but also has a clear mind."

"However, the little girl has a question?"

Liu Yanxin randomly found a place and sat down, her big eyes were dark and bright, and the corner of her mouth was also smiling:

"Your Highness, don't be afraid, Zheng Shunfa and Shen Yan have already taken refuge in the three major forces or Chu Qingyan?

At that time, the people trusted by His Highness Ziyang County will be their people, so His Highness King Chu will be very sad. "

Li Yuan answered Liu Yanxin patiently:

"What does Liu Shengnv think about the relationship between Zheng Shunfa and Shen Yan? As long as this king is here, it is their chance to overthrow each other. When they are investigating the officials, do you think they will investigate each other?"

Liu Yanxin's smiling expression faltered, but she quickly said again:
"What if both of them belong to the three major forces?
It would be too sad if His Highness was deceived by them, tsk tsk tsk..."

Liu Yanxin made a tsk-tsk sound, looking like she was enjoying the show.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuan's smile remained unchanged, and he looked at Liu Yanxin with piercing eyes.

For some unknown reason, Liu Yanxin's body and mind trembled, she had a bad premonition, and she sat up straight.

"So, the king is going to ask Ms. Liu. As the holy daughter of Lie Yanzong, Ms. Liu should be very familiar with the methods of the Ximen family and Zhongyi Hall. With Ms. Liu's intelligence, she should be able to tell whether Zheng Shunfa and Shen Yan have taken refuge. Other forces."

"If Saintess Liu can't even see this, wouldn't it be a betrayal of my king's trust!"
