Golden Age Of Phoenix: Tyrant’s First Class Virtuous Imperial Concubine

He rushed to Xu Shifeng's face sweating profusely, and said, "General Xu, what's going on? Why did the emperor come here?"

Xu Shifeng looked back at him and said, "The emperor is going back to Jinling."

"what?!"

Lu Boying was stunned.

The emperor had just arrived in Cuicang County yesterday. He didn't see any of the officials here, so he only stayed for one night.

Today, are you going to leave and set off for Jinling?

How could this be?

Regardless of whether he has taken the driver before, such a thing has never happened since the emperor went on tour. Lu Boying's face turned pale and hurriedly said, "General, General, this, is the emperor dissatisfied with the pick-up in this county? Or is he still going to punish the official? It is indeed incompetent by the official. Only then will Master Ye have him--"

"..."

"If you really want to be punished, please ask the general to be in front of the emperor-at least, to protect my family, they are innocent."

Seeing him sweating profusely, Xu Shifeng sighed lightly, and then said, "You don't have to think too much."

"..."

"If the emperor really wants to punish you, a decree thousands of miles away will be."

"..."

"Since you are still sitting in this county's position now, sit down and sit still."

Hearing him say this, Lu Boying's heart finally settled down.

After all, Xu Shifeng could be regarded as a close minister by the emperor's side. If he could say that, he must have understood the emperor's thoughts before daring to speak. However, thinking that the emperor arrived in Cuicang County, he didn't even see a single person, left a word, and left like this, he still felt a little uneasy.

So he said: "But the emperor just left, this—"

He didn't finish his words. Suddenly, another person came from the front, not someone else, but Xiao Shunzi, the attendant who was with the emperor.

For the officials below, although the eunuchs next to the emperor were just eunuchs who served the emperor, they were more stylish than some first-rank elders. These people closely followed the emperor every day and had the greatest influence on the emperor.

Therefore, Lu Boying immediately bowed his hands and saluted: "Shun father-in-law."

When Xiao Shunzi walked over, he respectfully saluted Xu Shifeng first, then turned to look at Lu Boying, and said, "Master Lu, the emperor asked our family to come over and ask you a few words."

Lu Boying didn't dare to lift his head, only said: "What is the emperor's will, and he only orders it, and he will not hesitate."

Xiao Shunzi said indifferently: "You don't need to put your brains on the ground. The emperor just asked, what is the grain stored in the county?"

Lv Boying hurriedly said: "Last year there were less than two hundred stones left in the stock of grain, but we have been able to start harvesting grain recently."

Xiao Shunzi said, "Now it’s time for the green and yellow not to pick up. If you want to collect grain, the government should be quicker. You can’t let the illegal traders get ahead of the government, even if you talk more money. It can be requisitioned, but if there is not enough food, then people will starve to death."

"..."

"Master Ye has happened in your county, the emperor is already angry,"

When she heard these words, Lu Boying's legs weakened and she almost fell to her knees, dripping cold sweat on her forehead like rain. Xiao Shunzi continued: "If something like hungry and death happens again, the emperor will really make Longyan angry."

Lu Boying hurriedly said: "The lower official understands, the lower official understands, the next official will do it!"

Xiao Shunzi smiled and nodded at Xu Shifeng again.

Then turned and walked on the boat.

Soon, all those who followed the emperor to Cuicang County yesterday boarded the boat one by one. As before, the emperor and the imperial concubine boarded the dragon boat, the other guards boarded another boat, and the boatmen carried the water they bought here. And food, boarded the third boat.

The only difference from before is that he brought an extra person.

It was Ran Xiaoyu, the confidant of the imperial concubine.

In order to take her, the Jinyiwei who was supposed to be on the second ship commanded Li Buwu, and a team of Jinyiwei men escorted her directly onto the emperor's dragon boat. After that, they did not disembark.

Then, several ships set sail and left Cicang County.

A group of officials stood on the wharf, facing all this, until the ship was far away, and they were still a little confused.

Until the three boats slowly disappeared into the mist in the twilight, several officials kneeling behind Lu Boying whispered: "Master Lu, the emperor came and went, what is the picture?"

"Just to pay a memorial to Master Ye?"

"We thought that the emperor would stay no matter what, to deal with the affairs of Xingluo Lake, at least go to the emperor's tomb to watch, so that we can show our faces in front of the emperor. Now this is how it is. What?"

Lu Boying got up from the ground, dusted the picture on his knees, and said: "Okay, don't ask any more, go to work!"

Everyone was stunned. For some reason, they thought they were going to be busy after the emperor came, but they didn't expect that the emperor only stayed for one night and then left, thinking it was all right, but Lu Boying let them go to work instead.

Everyone asked: "What do you do?"

Lv Boying said: "Collect grain, and quickly go to nearby counties and towns to collect grain."

"what?"

Everyone was even more shocked.

At this time, when the green and yellow are not picking up, many people don't have enough food in their homes. They have to wait until the first crop of this year is harvested before they can harvest.

Why are you going to collect it now?

Someone said: "Master Lu, it's not time yet, right?"

"The time is not up? When the time comes, the emperor will behead our heads."

"Huh? The emperor asked us to collect it?"

Lv Boying sighed and relayed what Xiao Shunzi had just said. Everyone was stunned and puzzled. They all said, "The emperor asked us to collect food now. What shall we do?"

Lu Boying said: "How do I know? In short, the emperor's will, just do it. If you can't even do this thing, you can count it together with Lord Ye's work before, you know the result!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

In any case, since it is the emperor's will, of course they will implement it.

As a result, the group hurriedly left the dock and walked towards their palace.

On the other side of the pier, on the bank of the river, in the lush woods, a man in a rough coat of linen stood far away. He kept seeing a figure in a bright yellow robe boarding the boat. The boat left the pier and finally disappeared On the river course, the man murmured: "The emperor, has already gone? I have to go back and report it!"

After speaking, he immediately turned and ran away.
