I've been a headhunter at Six Doors all these years

Chapter 145 Chapter 142: The thoughts of officials

seven days later.

Ling Yun and Shangguan Yan are playing Go in the bedroom.

A female guard came in and bowed: "To the city lord, Mr. Mo asks to see you."

Shangguan Yan stared at the chessboard, and said casually: "Send him to the side hall!"

After all, this is a bedroom, so it is naturally inconvenient to meet with officials.

"Yes." The maid turned and left.

Ling Yun put down the chess piece and said to her: "Mo Kei is begging to see you, there must be something important, this chess should be played later."

"En." Shangguan Yan nodded, stood up and said to Ling Yun, "Come on, come with me to meet Director Mo.

"I don't need to go!" Ling Yun lay down on the chair and crossed his legs: "I'm not an official of Sifang City, I'm afraid I'm not suitable to participate in the government affairs of Sifang City."

"In Sifang City, there's nothing you can't participate in."

With a smile in her eyes, Shangguan Yan stretched out her hand and pulled him up from the chair, and walked out without saying a word.

While following Shangguan Yan, Ling Yun plucked her jade hand and said repeatedly: "Hey, let go, you are the city lord now, if someone sees you teasing me like this, it will damage your majesty as the city lord. "

Shangguan Yanjiao smiled and said: "Don't worry, if I hold your hand, it will never affect the majesty of the city lord."

"Why?"

"You are a god-like figure in Sifang City. The civil and military officials and soldiers of Sifang City adore you very much! Therefore, if the city lord pulls you, not only will it not damage the majesty of the city lord, but it will enhance the majesty of the city lord. .”

Ling Yun shook his head and sighed: "Ever since you became the city lord, you have become domineering."

Shangguan Yan smiled and said, "Since when did I become overbearing?"

Ling Yun patted her plump buttocks: "You are domineering every night."

Shangguan Yanqiao blushed and said coquettishly, "You are more domineering than me."

However, as soon as Shangguan Yan took Ling Yun's hand out of the bedroom, she let it go immediately, and the two left towards the side hall.

It's okay for the two of you to flirt in the dormitory, but you still have to pay attention to your image when you go out of the dormitory.

The two came to the side hall, but saw that Mo Kei was already waiting in the side hall.

"Subordinates to participate in the city lord." Mo Kei stepped forward and bowed to Shangguan Yan.

"Boss Mo doesn't need to be too polite." Shangguan Yan raised her hand slightly to him with a smile.

This time she was able to take back Sifang City, besides Ling Yun, it was Mo Kei who contributed the most.

After all, Mo Kei was originally the head of the imperial palace, with a high prestige, without his full support, Shangguan Yan had just ascended to the position of city lord, and it would not be easy to control the civil and military officials of Sifang City.

"Hero Ling." Mo Kei cupped his hands to Ling Yun.

Mo Ke was not surprised that Ling Yun and Shangguan Yan came out of the bedroom together.

Ling Yun smiled slightly at him: "Director Mo must have a discussion with the city lord about something, should Ling avoid it for a while."

Mo Ke waved his hands again and again and said: "Hero Ling is a great hero of Sifang City, and he is also the best friend of Shangguan City Lord, why should we avoid it."

Mo Keli specially emphasized the word "friend".

To what extent, Mo Keli knows well.

It was already an open secret that Ling Yun lived in Shangguan Yan's bedroom during this time, so Ling Yun's status among the civil and military officials of Sifang City was also equivalent to that of the city lord.

"Boss Mo, what do you need from me?" Shangguan Yan sat down at the head of the side hall, looking softly at Mo Kei.

Mo Kei bowed to Shangguan Yan and said, "I report to the city lord, all civil and military officials jointly request that the city lord ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor."

As he said that, Mo Ke took out from his sleeve the memorial that all civil and military officials jointly requested Shangguan Yan to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, and handed it to Shangguan Yan.

"Proclaim the emperor?" Shangguan Yan took the memorial from Mo Kexin with a look of astonishment, unfolded it for a few glances, and placed it on the dragon case.

She leaned slightly on the dragon chair with her tender body, shook her head and smiled: "How can I, how dare I become emperor? Director Mo, this matter is absolutely impossible."

Generally speaking, there will be three persuasions and three pushes for proclaiming the emperor.

After going through the procedure of three persuasions and three pushes, he finally pretended to be reluctant to agree.

But Shangguan Yan really didn't want to be called emperor.

First of all, I just sat on the position of Sifang City Lord. Although I have the support of Mo Xin, I have not established my prestige after all.

Secondly, she is a girl after all.Although it is possible for a woman to be an emperor, relatively speaking, she needs more skills to control the officials.

She is talented, she really has no experience in politics at all, and she still needs to slowly adapt to the position of the city lord first.

In addition, she is not a woman with a strong desire for power, and she really doesn't have much interest in being an emperor.

It's easier to be a city lord.

"The mayor."

Mo Kei wanted to persuade Shangguan Yan again, but was interrupted by Shangguan Yan waving: "Director Mo, there is no need to persuade, I have made up my mind. Director Mo will go back and tell the officials not to mention this matter again."

Unbelievable: "."

He could see that Shangguan Yan sincerely refused to want to be the emperor, rather than showing off several times.

After all, she is just a girl under 20 years old, has never been in contact with officialdom before, and still doesn't know how to play this game.

Shangguan Yan leaned on the dragon chair, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Is there anything else Mr. Mo has to do?"

"Then the subordinate will retire first."

With a helpless expression on his face, Mo Kei bowed to Shang Guanyan and exited the hall.

"Boss Mo, I'll see you off." Ling Yun followed.

When the two left the side hall, Mo Ke turned his head and looked at Ling Yun: "Hero Ling, you have a very close relationship with the city lord, she will definitely listen to what you say, why don't you persuade the city lord!"

Ling Yun nodded slightly, and then asked back: "Mr. Mo, do you think Miss Shangguan is really suitable to be emperor now?"

Mo Ke stopped, looked around, and sighed slightly: "Actually, I don't agree with the Lord Shangguan calling himself emperor now. After she has been the Lord of the city for two or three years, is familiar with government affairs, and has established prestige, she can be called the emperor again." God is most appropriate."

Ling Yun smiled slightly and said: "Since that's the case, then why did Director Mo ask me to persuade Miss Shangguan to become emperor now?"

Mo Ke looked around the main hall, it was resplendent everywhere, and some guards in the distance were also in bright armor.

He smiled wryly: "Hero Ling doesn't know something, the current situation is forcing City Lord Shangguan to proclaim himself emperor!"

Ling Yun couldn't help being slightly surprised: "Boss Mo, what do you say?"

Mo Ke put his hands into his sleeves, looked at Ling Yun, and said, "Hero Ling is a smart person, so he must be able to guess the reason!"

Ling Yun stretched out his hand to stroke his chin, frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly understood.

A few days ago, when Ouyang Feiying ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, all the officials in Sifang City, big and small, were named ministers of the court. Not only did their salaries increase, but they also became the founding ministers.

But now he helped Shangguan Yan get rid of Ouyang Feiying, and Shangguan Yan took the position of city lord. In this way, the status of all civil and military officials would be embarrassing.

From the emperor to the city lord, all the civil and military officials will naturally have to be demoted to the small officials of the Sifang City.

At first, everyone happily became the prime minister, minister, minister, and other high officials in the court, but now you follow Shangguan Yan to make a revolution and overthrow Ouyang Feiying. up.

This really made everyone feel a little uncomfortable.
