GBP Chapter 236: Are you a cannibal?
Chapter 236: Are you a cannibal?
As soon as Emperor Yuan finished speaking, the system burst into laughter. [Prefect Yan must have collapsed.]
Thinking of the two days when he temporarily served as the magistrate of Luoyang County, Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but shudder.
[It's amazing that Governor Yan managed to persevere for so many days despite such an outrageous and complex task!]
Everyone was puzzled. What kind of work could make a governor of a state collapse?
When Emperor Yuan thought of what Governor Yan had cried about in the memorial, he couldn't help laughing.
Although it was a bit unkind, he really couldn't help it.
The people of Luoyang actually asked Governor Yan to officiate the wedding of two ferocious geese, and then were chased and kissed on the buttocks by the enthusiastic geese...
Hahaha……
How could those two geese turn their backs on us and repay kindness with hatred?
Emperor Yuan didn't know that the two geese actually didn't want to marry each other, they were forced to be together!
Therefore, in their eyes, the witness, Governor Yan, is an unforgivable villain!
If not him, who should I bite?
Jiang Yueyang watched from the side, wanting to hear who these adults would recommend to be the magistrate of Luoyang County.
The Minister of Personnel stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there are many outstanding students in this imperial examination. Why not wait until after the palace examination and then appoint the new Luoyang County Magistrate from among them?"
The Left Prime Minister stepped forward and echoed, "I second the motion. Luoyang is an important economic region of our dynasty, and the position of county magistrate has always required someone with outstanding qualities in all aspects."
However, all six ministries are now short of staff. If officials above the rank of doctor are to be transferred elsewhere, it may be difficult to maintain normal work operations.
In addition, officials above the rank of doctor-in-waiting were demoted to Luoyang County Magistrate. Unless they were responsible, this was inappropriate."
Emperor Yuan thought for a moment and said, "The only option left is to let Yan..."
"Your Majesty," Jiang Yueyang suddenly said, "I would like to recommend someone to be the magistrate of Luoyang County."
Seeing that it was Jiang Yueyang, Emperor Yuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Who do you want to recommend?"
"Lord Bu, the Deputy Minister of Personnel."
Emperor Yuan asked, "Why did you recommend him?"
"During the imperial examination, I worked with Master Bu for a few days and found that he was extremely conscientious and meticulous in his work. He handled every matter, no matter how big or small, in an orderly manner.
He would also humbly listen to others' advice and make sound judgments. Most importantly, he was emotionally stable. Luoyang's affairs were complex, and they needed someone as patient and meticulous as him.
Well...Yuanwailang is of the seventh rank, and Luoyang County Magistrate is of the sixth rank, which can barely be considered a horizontal transfer, and it doesn't feel unfair to him.
In addition, I have heard that Lord Bu is very talented in criminal cases, but he just lacks the opportunity and talent to see him."
Emperor Yuan smiled happily, "Jiang Yueyang, do you want to be his mentor?"
"No." Jiang Yueyang looked at Emperor Yuan with a curled lip, "I just want to share your Majesty's worries."
Hearing this, the system sang out in a smug voice: [Host, you are so fake~ You are so fake~
He clearly dragged the emperor out and gave him a beating from time to time, yet now he's saying such hypocritical things.
Jiang Yueyang narrowed his eyes slightly, with a forced smile.
Emperor Yuan was not affected by the system's words at all. He knew as soon as he heard it that Jiang Yueyang was not telling the truth.
She recommended Lord Bu to be the magistrate of Luoyang County. It could be for the sake of the court and the country, for the sake of the people of Luoyang, or for the sake of Governor Yan, but it would never be to share my worries.
It’s good enough that she doesn’t cause me any trouble!
At this point, the system continued recklessly: [Host, haven't you always said you don't want a promotion? Why are you flattering the emperor? Do you actually want to be an official?]
Who wants to be a poor official with a salary of only five taels of silver? I'm living a life of luxury at home, while he squanders his money everywhere. Isn't that what he enjoys?
Civil and military officials: Lord Xiao Jiang has the potential to be a playboy.
Prince: Miss Jiang doesn’t seek fame, wealth or power. How can I keep her in the future?
The third prince nodded in agreement. If I could choose my birthplace, I wouldn’t want to be a prince. It would be much better to be a knight traveling around the world!
[Then why did the host speak to please the emperor? ]
[I only try to please His Majesty so that he will remember my kindness and not just focus on me.]
Emperor Yuan: Don’t even think about it, you can’t escape from my grasp.
Emperor Yuan looked at the Minister of Personnel and said, "Minister of Personnel, what do you think? This Lord Bu is from your Ministry of Personnel."
The Minister of Personnel hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty, what Lord Jiang said is true. Lord Bu is indeed diligent in his work, has outstanding abilities, and a kind personality. However, he was a Jinshi last year, so his experience is still relatively young."
Emperor Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as you have the ability, seniority and experience are not important."
"In that case, I also recommend Mr. Bu to be the magistrate of Luoyang County."
Emperor Yuan looked at the others and asked, "Do you have any objections to the appointment of Mr. Bu, the Deputy Minister of Personnel, as the magistrate of Luoyang County?"
All the civil and military officials thought that the person recommended by Lord Xiao Jiang himself must be no problem.
Then all the ministers responded in unison: "We have no objection."
Emperor Yuan said: "Since all the ministers have no objection, I hereby order Lord Bu to immediately go to Luoyang to take up his post."
Jiang Yueyang smiled knowingly, "Finally, a good and honest official has been appointed to the people of Luoyang."
[Host, should I thank you now? ]
[Yes, thank you.]
The system was stunned. How could the host dare to thank him so readily?
[But...] Jiang Yueyang changed the subject, narrowing her eyes and smiling sinisterly, [I need to settle the score with you about what you just said about me being a liar!]
The system asked weakly: [Host...how do you want to calculate?]
My fragile heart has been deeply hurt and needs something to comfort me.
The system's skeptical question: [Weak mind?]
Do you have any opinion?
[No problem!] The system said without hesitation.
[Mech racing or half a year in a dark room, your choice.]
The system yelled, "You're a car eater?"
I don't care.
Emperor Yuan and all the civil and military officials were a little confused. They heard that Lord Xiao Jiang was asking Xiao Gua for compensation, but what was a mecha flying car?
What does Xiaogua’s last sentence mean?
It sounds weird, it's not the language of Daxia.
The system said with a sad face, "Host, even if I sell myself, I still can't get a mecha racing car."
[I know you're not worth much, but that's not something I, as a victim, should consider.]
System: ...What kind of victim are you?
The system jokingly discussed with Jiang Yueyang, "Host, even if you kill me, I can't get a mecha car in return. How about this, I'll compensate you with a lightning whip?"
【Thunder whip?】
Jiang Yueyang originally didn't expect the system to get her a mecha car. The reason she asked for this high compensation was so that the system would be more receptive if she asked for other things later.
The system showed her the product introduction of the Thunder Whip, which was a lightning whip charged with energy stones.
Simply flipping the switch will imbue the whip with lightning without causing any harm to the user.
The Thunder Whip is a Class C weapon in the interstellar era, but in ancient times it was comparable to a divine weapon.
After understanding, Jiang Yueyang said reluctantly: "Alright, since you're so poor, I'll just use the Thunder Whip."
System: ...Why do I feel like I've been cheated?
Emperor Yuan: Fool.
Civil and Military Officials: Hahaha, it seems like the little one isn’t very smart sometimes.
At this time in Yaoling Valley, Lu Yunting, Xu An and others were standing by the ice pool.
