Chapter 396: Improving the People's Livelihood in Jin
Ying Yuan tossed and turned, and finally arrived at Shangjing City in Jin.
Once upon a time, this was the capital of Jin State.
And now.
It's just a city in the Qin State.
Outside Shangjing City.
Xu Chu and Dian Wei led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, as well as officials of all ranks, nobles, and common people in the city to welcome Ying Yuan's arrival.
When they saw the imperial chariot slowly approaching, the two of them were the first to step forward to greet it.
They all knelt on the ground.
Seeing this, Ying Yuan got off the imperial chariot, came up to the two of them, and said with a smile:
"As I traveled along, I saw that the people of Jin lived and worked in peace and contentment, showing no trace of the decline that followed the war. This must be due to the efforts of the two of you. Thank you for your hard work."
A thank you for your hard work.
This made Xu Chu and Dian Wei feel warm in their hearts.
At this moment, no matter how hard it is for them, it is worth it.
To be honest, it is difficult for military generals to govern the local areas.
Fortunately, the imperial court sent many young talents to help them.
Among them are Lu You, Wu Cheng'en and others.
Although they are all proficient in literature, they are also very capable and it is not a problem for them to assist Xu Chu and Dian Wei in governing the local area.
"Your Majesty, I'm not tired! I heard that Your Majesty was assassinated in Wu State, so I sent elite troops to protect Your Majesty along the way. Fortunately, we didn't disturb Your Majesty."
"Right now, those underworld forces from Yan State are too rampant, constantly causing trouble everywhere. It's a pity that we haven't been able to find an effective way to deal with them."
Xu Chu and Dian Wei continued to speak.
Those underworld forces basically cause trouble in one place and then run to another place to cause trouble.
This forced the underworld forces and the Three Guards of the Qin Dynasty to follow behind them.
If they are always one step behind others, how can we catch them?
As soon as Ying Yuan heard their voices, he felt like he was being stabbed in the back again.
He was on the road and had deliberately slowed down his pace.
He even found excuses to send Zhao Yun away several times.
He was hoping that the underworld forces of the Tang Dynasty would come and assassinate him again.
But what is the result?
With the army protecting us in secret, who would dare to assassinate us?
What Ying Yuan didn't know was that apart from the troops sent by Xu Chu and others.
There are also more than 30,000 people protecting him secretly.
There are three layers of people inside and outside, all of them are from the Qin Dynasty.
Not to mention the assassins from Yan State, even a mosquito from Yan State could not fly close to Ying Yuan.
"Who told you to do this?"
Ying Yuan looked at Xu Chu and Dian Wei, his tone full of displeasure.
Dian Wei subconsciously said, "Your Majesty, this is what I did from the bottom of my heart. No one instructed me to do it!"
Xu Chu nodded quickly.
Ying Yuan said angrily: "I really want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know how many assassinations I would have gone through."
They both bowed one after another and said:
"Your Majesty, you are sorry for this. Protecting Your Majesty is my duty."
"Your Majesty, I truly feel ashamed to accept the word 'thank you.'"
In fact, their idea was very simple, what if Ying Yuan was assassinated in Jin?
It can be predicted that before long, the group of censors headed by Yu Qian will continue to report the two of them.
You know, when Yu Qian reported someone, it was almost like killing him.
Ying Yuan gave the order, saying, "From this moment on, have all your men withdraw. You don't need to protect me."
Hearing this, the two were surprised and spoke one after another:
"Your Majesty, those underworld forces in Yan State are too rampant. If they find an opportunity to assassinate you..."
"Yes, Your Majesty, your safety is closely related to the prosperity and decline of our Great Qin. You cannot afford to lose anything!"
Ying Yuan said earnestly, "Do you think that if you send people to protect me, those who want to assassinate me will stop?"
"No! They will still find an opportunity to assassinate me. If that's the case, then let them do it."
"I want to see what they have to kill me!"
To be honest, he was really looking forward to whether Yuan Tiangang had any way to kill him.
However, after Xu Chu and Dian Wei heard those words, they seemed to have a different meaning.
They thought to themselves:
"Could it be that Your Majesty intends to use himself as bait to lure those Yan people to assassinate him? Then, he can capture them all in one fell swoop?"
"The Yan people are hiding in the dark and are extremely difficult to find. Your Majesty, what you are doing may have miraculous effects, but it is still too dangerous."
"I never thought that His Majesty would disregard his own life for the safety of the people of Jin. Even the Emperor is like this. It seems that from now on, I must serve the country even more wholeheartedly!"
When they were in Xianyang, they spent all day hanging out with the civil officials and counselors in the city.
Especially, he followed Guo Jia for the longest time.
Over time, the brain will naturally become more flexible.
But Ying Yuan didn't mean that at all.
Then.
They came to the city.
Ying Yuan sat on the imperial chariot, enjoying the worship of the people.
Perhaps in order to waste national strength, he did something unprecedented.
That is, throwing money on the street.
For a moment, when the people saw the copper coins falling next to them, they didn't care about anything else and just rushed over to grab them.
The whole street was suddenly in chaos.
This scared Xu Chu and Dian Wei.
If a riot occurs, Ying Yuan's life will be in danger.
They would become the eternal sinners of the Qin State.
