Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

The new and wide street, I don’t know what it is paved with, but at first glance, it is extremely flat without any undulations.

Coupled with the neatly arranged houses around, and the orange vests coming and going on the street, stopping when waved, Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help feeling a little confused. He didn’t even remember that there was such a place under his rule.

Or maybe it was because I hadn’t left Beijing for a long time, so I didn’t know the situation outside was like this.

Then Emperor Jingwen shook his head and said, “No, that’s not right. When he passed through Bingzhou and other places before, he didn’t see such scenes, and he didn’t hear any reports from his subordinates. It must be unique to Liangzhou and it only appeared recently.”

After observing for a while, I found that the people here all walked with smiles on their faces, and they looked very prosperous. I guess this is because they are extremely looking forward to and yearning for their future life.

Emperor Jingwen had an idea, and then called over a man in an orange vest and asked, “Excuse me, young man, what is the meaning of wearing this?”

In addition to delivering things to customers, the Orange Vests also do various odd jobs part-time. They can stop at any time and as long as they know and can do it, there is no problem.

Not to mention introducing the current situation in Liangzhou to others.

These people used to be beggars in Liangzhou City, and there were also refugees who poured in from other places. Ye Shuo arranged some resettlement houses for them, and then had them registered by the prefect. They also received concentrated training before taking up their posts to improve their professional capabilities. Now they do odd jobs every day. Although they are not rich, they have no problem with eating every day.

Beggars and refugees were gathered together, making them easier to manage, and the crime rate in Liangzhou City was reduced a lot.

A low crime rate and good public security will attract more people to settle here. The prefect wanted to hug Ye Shuo, who came up with this idea, and give him a big kiss.

This was not the first time that Orange Vest had encountered this situation. He had long been accustomed to it. Anyone who first came to Liangzhou had to go through this experience.

“A few guests, they must be from other places, right?”

Hearing this, the princes became nervous for a moment. After all, they did not bring many people with them today. If their identities were discovered, they would be in danger.

However, the orange vest seemed to have seen through their thoughts and waved his hands, saying, “Don’t be nervous, my guests. I’m not trying to find out your identities, but I’ve encountered this kind of situation quite a lot. If you don’t believe me, look over there.”

Following the line of sight of the man in the orange vest, the Fourth Prince and his companions realised that they were not the only ones there. There were many other people in gorgeous clothes at the city gate who were acting the same way as them.

“Those are all businessmen from other places. Judging from the way you are dressed, you are also here to do business in Liangzhou, right?” Forgive the orange vest. Although he has received training, with his vision, he can only see this much.

Emperor Jingwen nodded calmly, “That’s right. We are new to your place and are a little confused. I wonder if this young man could take us around Liangzhou City?”

“No problem. Please follow me.” The orange vest was responsible for this job. When he heard the man in front of him say this, he naturally responded.

Emperor Jingwen immediately forgot about his son and the only thing on his mind was the situation in Liangzhou.

“This is Longxing Street, the most famous commercial street in Liangzhou…”

“This is Apricot Rain Road. If you had come a few months earlier, you would have seen the apricot blossoms on both sides of the river. Now the apricot blossoms have withered, which is a pity. However, if you wait a little longer, you might be been able to eat apricots produced in Liangzhou City…”

Emperor Jingwen subconsciously looked towards both sides of the river bank, and indeed saw the green apricots on the branches that were almost integrated with the leaves.

“And here, this is Dingxi Bridge. Legend has it that the immortals from heaven once stayed here.”

“And here, this is the most famous Ping An Restaurant in Liangzhou. This is our boss’s territory!”

Orange Vest is now Ye Shuo’s employee. He has a job provided by Ye Shuo, so when he mentions Ye Shuo, he naturally speaks with enthusiasm.

The chief scoop…

If Emperor Jingwen remembered correctly, it should be underworld slang, referring to the head of an organisation or force.

When can such power be brought to the surface? Doesn’t the governor of this place care?

Seeing the orange vest praising him so much, Emperor Jingwen frowned slightly: “Chief Boss?”

The man in the orange vest did not notice Emperor Jingwen’s displeasure. Whenever outsiders asked him about it, he would subconsciously start talking endlessly.

Seeing the orange vest praising the other party to the sky, with an expression of extreme admiration and the desire to worship him, Emperor Jingwen frowned even more.

From what the other party said, it seems that the other party has some connection with the government. In this case, isn’t this a real collusion between officials and businessmen? What’s more, there is also a dispute between underworld forces.

This Liangzhou City seems to be much more complicated than I imagined…

“Thank you, young man.” After spending most of the day and almost understanding the situation in Liangzhou City, Emperor Jingwen said with a smile.

“Thanks for your hard work.”

Upon seeing this, the Fourth Prince took out a piece of loose silver and placed it in the hand of the man in the orange vest.

Orange Vest never thought that he would get so much reward money just for taking people to tour Liangzhou City for a whole morning. It was as much as one or two taels of silver, enough for him to eat for a month.

But think about it, the luckiest people in the same industry as mine had earned as much as five taels of silver, so this one tael of silver was nothing.

Thanks to Liangzhou, thanks to the chief leader!

The orange vest left happily.

Looking at the other person’s back, the Fourth Prince and others couldn’t help but look at Emperor Jingwen: “Dad, should we go find Xiaojiu next, or…”

When walking outside, the Fourth Prince and his entourage now address Emperor Jingwen by the common people’s name.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingwen shook his head and said, “Don’t ask about Xiaojiu’s location first, go see the governor here first.”

In addition to what the Orange Vest said, Emperor Jingwen also wanted to find out whether the other party had any connection with the Crown Prince.

After saying this, Emperor Jingwen walked towards the prefectural government office.

The Fourth Prince and others hurriedly followed.

Liangzhou magistrate Zhao Jinchuan was out patrolling most of the day today and only returned in the afternoon.

When he came back in the sedan chair, he accidentally glanced to the side, and this one glance scared him to death.

Zhao Jinchuan had met the emperor once a few years ago. The atmosphere in the Xuan Zheng Hall was solemn and dignified. Due to the rules, one could not look directly at the emperor’s face, so Zhao Jinchuan just looked up when he entered the Xuan Zheng Hall.

With just one glance, the emperor at the top seemed to be branded in his heart, and he dared not forget it at any time.

And now, he actually saw a similar person at the gate of the government office, which made Zhao Jinchuan break out in cold sweat.

If it was a mistake, it would be embarrassing at best, but if it was not, who knew what the consequences would be?

Almost instantly, Zhao Jinchuan asked someone to stop the sedan.

Seeing a stranger lingering at the main entrance of the government office, and the prefect just returning, the runner subconsciously wanted to shout to drive him away.

However, before they could speak, they saw the prefect almost jogging over.

The yamen runner was stunned, and then, under the pressure of Zhao Jinchuan’s eyes, he retreated.

Zhao Jinchuan took a deep breath, then pretended to be relaxed and bowed: “Sir, may I ask your names, gentlemen?”

Emperor Jingwen raised his eyebrows slightly and uttered the word “Ye”.

The surname Ye is the royal surname, so my guess must be correct.

Zhao Jinchuan hurriedly ordered people to welcome the distinguished guests into the government office.

But Zhao Jinchuan didn’t dare to believe the other party’s one-sided statement. After a pot of good tea, Zhao Jinchuan boldly asked, “This is a serious matter. Apart from these, do you have any other evidence?”

“Bold!” The fifth prince jumped up immediately.

Emperor Jingwen was not angry. Instead, he was very satisfied with the prudence of the Liangzhou prefect. He just hoped that the other party would not let him down in the end.

When Zhao Jinchuan saw the token in Emperor Jingwen’s hand, he no longer had any doubts. He immediately knelt down and shouted “Long live the Emperor” three times.

“I have been negligent, and I beg Your Majesty to forgive me.”

Emperor Jingwen sat at the head of the table and did not call out, but simply asked, “Where does this chief of Liangzhou City come from?”

Here it comes!

Hearing this, Zhao Jinchuan immediately became extremely alert.

Zhao Jinchuan did not dare to hide anything, but told everything he knew.

A young man? White Tiger? Two years ago? The Ninth master?

Upon catching these keywords, Emperor Jingwen was stunned.

This combination sounds very familiar…

Emperor Jingwen paused and asked, “Since he only arrived in Liangzhou two years ago, how can you be sure that the other party has no ill intentions?”

“You know, your actions are really bold now!”

After all, the other party has helped him so much. In this situation, Zhao Jinchuan naturally has to help the other party to refute a few words, so as to prevent the emperor from misunderstanding that he is a person with ulterior motives and then killing him.

After thinking about it, Zhao Jinchuan hurriedly said: “Your Majesty, the young man named Gu Shao really has no ill intentions. Your Majesty does not know that he is the student of the Grand Tutor. He is knowledgeable and talented, and has good character. Since he came, Liangzhou has developed so much. I hope Your Majesty will understand!”

When Emperor Jingwen heard the words “Taifu’s student”, he was basically certain that it was his son.

Emperor Jingwen didn’t expect that the little bastard actually had such ability. It seemed that he had grown a lot after being out for two years.

Emperor Jingwen suddenly felt relieved.

Sure enough, the little bastard was just slow in coming to his senses, he wasn’t really hopeless.

How could his son be mediocre?

Emperor Jingwen did not explain anything at the moment, but just said: “In this case, call the man over and let me see him.”

Zhao Jinchuan naturally didn’t dare to refuse, and quickly sent the people around him to invite him.

result……

Half an incense stick later, the yamen runner was sweating profusely: “My Lord, the Ninth Young Master is currently in Qinglufang, busy. He said…he said he would not come…”

Ye Shuo had done this before, and since he was now the God of Wealth of Liangzhou, Zhao Jinchuan was used to turning a blind eye to it.

They are our brothers, who would care so much?

But this time the situation is clearly different.

Zhao Jinchuan couldn’t help but look at the yamen runner.

‘Didn’t you say we had a distinguished guest?!’

The yamen runner felt extremely wronged, and he must have said it. The other party’s attitude was also very firm. He was busy and had no time, and unless his father came, he could wait until he was done with his work before talking about anything.

Zhao Jinchuan didn’t even dare to look at the emperor and the princes.

Emperor Jingwen was actually interested: “Qinglufang? What a nice name. What does it do?”

Zhao Jinchuan: “…”

Finally, under pressure, Zhao Jinchuan had to answer: “Your Majesty, it is a gambling house.”

Caught off guard, Emperor Jingwen was stunned.
