Zhang and the others were shocked when they saw the queen take out the imperial edict.
It goes without saying what this imperial edict means.
If Your Majesty had supported the Second Prince, the Queen would never have taken it out and might have destroyed it long ago.
"No, this imperial edict must be fake?"
He Lian saw the eunuchs were in a state of panic and sneered:
"You all knew the imperial edict was fake without even reading it? Aren't you being too arbitrary?"
Of course, the ministers took the imperial edict and read it first.
After reading it, he immediately changed his words to the queen.
"Queen Dowager, please ask the eldest prince to ascend the throne immediately."
The Ten Eunuchs were confused. When had His Majesty ever written an imperial edict? The imperial seal was in their hands.
So he hurriedly snatched it and took a look, and was dumbfounded.
Although Your Majesty did not stamp the document, you did press your fingerprint.
At this time, Empress Dowager He said:
"His Majesty also wrote it to me before he died. Due to the urgency of the situation, he did not inform the eunuchs."
Although the Empress Dowager was a little disappointed at this time, Liu Bian was also her eldest grandson. Since things had come to this point, she didn't say anything else.
The most disappointed were the Ten Attendants. They didn't expect He Lian to use this trick, which really caught them off guard.
The Ten Eunuchs had only won one game, and now that He Jin was dead, they had not lost yet.
They still have a complete army of lieutenants at their disposal.
Now the Eight Commandants of Xiyuan are only in name.
All the colonels and lieutenants were handed over to Zhao Mingfan, and the total force reached 50,000.
Together with some imperial guards, Luoyang City still has more than 100,000 troops.
With so many troops, they felt they had not yet lost.
"Okay, okay, then please invite the eldest prince to ascend the throne."
Zhang Rang gritted his teeth and agreed.
Just as the palace was celebrating Liu Bian's coronation, Feng Yun had already returned to Jian'an riding on the Black Qilin.
The Black Qilin was so fast that it only took it one day to return from such a long distance.
When he entered the city gate, the guards at the gate saw him and immediately came to lead the way.
"Sir, are you here to take up your post?"
"Is the court's appointment so quick?"
Fengyun was a little surprised. The previous times, it took a long time for the court's appointment to reach him.
This time he hadn't even arrived yet, but the appointment had already arrived ahead of time.
"Yes, the previous county magistrate has already left his post quickly and is waiting for you."
"Okay, lead the way."
Fengyun was in a good mood.
This time I came back and solved this unstable factor.
Now in Jian'an City, the prefect is still his immediate superior.
But now that he is back, everyone in Jian'an City has to bow down to him.
After he arrived at Jian'an County Office and took in the general situation of Jian'an City, he asked the Chief Clerk:
"Our Jian'an has a decent population, and the city has plenty of food. The previous county magistrate did a good job."
But the chief clerk said:
"Sir, he knew he was only a temporary county magistrate and wouldn't be able to profit from the city's prosperity, so he never managed Jian'an City. The city's security still relies on the soldiers you left behind. Furthermore, the Overlord Village Guild has effectively become the behind-the-scenes manager of Jian'an City. Under their management, everything in Jian'an has become orderly. A few years ago, when Jian'an City suffered the Yellow Turban Rebellion, its population was only three million, but now it's almost over seven million."
Hearing this, Fengyun nodded continuously.
"Good, good, very good. The population of Jian'an is increasing very quickly. This momentum is good and we must keep it up."
Fengyun was delighted to find that Jian'an City had great potential for development.
He had never thought that his guild would become the actual manager of Jian'an, and that it would be managed quite well.
Not only did the population grow rapidly, but food was also abundant.
Speaking of food abundance, this needs to be explained.
If he had not eradicated the rich people in the entire Jian'an city back then, all the food in Jian'an would probably be in the hands of these rich people now.
Now that these rich people are gone, Jian'an has not become worse, but has become better.
This is all thanks to the fact that almost all of Jian'an's upper class circles were treated like leeks and exploited.
And now he is the richest man in the city.
And he did not like land annexation, except for the mansions in the city that he left as a widow.
The land left by the rich was left untouched.
This allowed the peasants who fled the Yellow Turban Rebellion to have an acre and three mu of land.
Only with land can farmers have the basis for survival.
And the taxes in the city are very low.
This allowed the farmers to gradually become wealthy and have extra money to buy other supplies to enrich their lives.
The reason why Jian'an City has low taxes is because there is the Overlord Village Guild here.
Under their leadership, trade in Jian'an was very frequent, which led to abundant tax revenue.
The prefect really looked down upon the meager amount of food that the farmers had.
Fengyun immediately sent a message to the fat guy.
"Fatty, our guild has done a great job. I didn't expect Jian'an to develop so well."
The wretched fat man was a little confused and said:
"Boss, what's wrong? How did you know about Jian'an? Haven't you been in Xiliang all this time?"
"Hahaha, I've just been appointed by the imperial court as the magistrate of Jian'an County. From now on, Jian'an will officially belong to us."
"Ah? Really?" The wretched fat guy had no idea that the boss had been promoted again.
This made his admiration for Fengyun reach a new level.
"Really? Why would I lie to you? This county magistrate was given to me by Zhang Rang. I didn't spend a penny on it."
"No way, Boss, your charm is too strong. Even the old eunuch is not immune."
"Get lost. But you did a good job this time. Give me a list of names. I want to give the guild members a benefit and have them serve in Jian'an."
Fengyun's words made the wretched fat man extremely happy.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If it weren't for the boss, they would never have thought of such a good thing.
"Okay, boss, wait for me, I'll go make a list."
What the wretched fat man called drawing up a list was nothing more than selecting the names from the guild standings in descending order.
Fengyun selected one hundred people from them and appointed them as official court officials.
Although the level is low, it is just a threshold.
As long as they pass this hurdle and are appreciated by the city lord, their future promotion will surely be a smooth journey.
When these people were promoted, it immediately caused an uproar in the guild.
"Wow! I envy the brothers in the top 100. We also want to join this bureaucratic system."
"The city lord is so powerful that he made his brothers officials with one move."
"Don't say anything. Starting today, I will work harder and strive to get into the top 1,000."
