The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1019 Fujian Jiedu
Huang Hua, Zhi Yongshou, Kui Yinghao and others watched from the sidelines, their expressions were sad and their mood was even more serious.

Although Zhi Yongshou and more than a thousand soldiers broke out this time, the losses of the righteous men in the Jianghu were too heavy.The top players are almost dead.

This undoubtedly made the situation in Changle County even more unfavorable.

After the remains of all the righteous men in the rivers and lakes were incinerated, Huang Hua handed over the matter of city defense to Zhi Yongshou, and headed towards the Zicheng government office.

Zicheng is the real power center of Changle County.It occupies a small area, but the top yamen in Fuzhou and the most powerful ministers all live here.

Although it was late at night, the government office was still brightly lit.

In the precarious situation in Changle County, from the powerful ministers to the common people, few people can sleep peacefully.

Lian Liming, the envoy of Fujian Road Jiedu, was sitting in the main hall of the government office, and he did not feel sleepy at all.

He hadn't slept soundly for two nights, and his eyes were bloodshot and worried.

This Changle County is really in danger.

He is not afraid of death, and even has plans to die for his country.However, the collapse of Changle County is almost the same as the collapse of the Eastern Gate of the Great Song Dynasty. Lian Liming is ashamed of the grace of God.

Until now, Lian Liming clearly remembered that scene in his heart.

At that time, he was just a water transport envoy in Lutingzhou, Fujian.Don't say that in the whole Fujian Road, even in Tingzhou, they can't be regarded as ministers of great power.

And he has always been unwilling to join forces with other officials, and he is faintly rejected by other officials.

Someone once joked that the Tingzhou Water Transport Envoy was just a night wanderer.

But on that day, it was less than two months after Fujian changed.Wen Tianxiang, the military plane order, went to Lian Liming's home with all his heart.

At that time, Lian Liming was surprised why Wen Tianxiang came in person, but he only thought that Wen Tianxiang was here to make him express his opinion.After all, Fujian is no longer Pu's Fujian.

So Lian Liming didn't wait for Wen Tianxiang to ask questions, and said bluntly that he had no intention of officialdom.

All these years of enthusiasm, the heart of helping the country and the people, was finally beaten to pieces in front of the unsightly reality.

He was really heartbroken.

But when Wen Tianxiang heard his words, his smile only became more intense, and he said: "I heard that the Lian Water Transport Envoy is upright and dedicated to serving the people. It is really better to meet him than to be famous."

Then he smiled and took out a roll of yellow imperial edict from his sleeve.

Wen Tianxiang put the imperial decree beside Lian Liming, and said: "The emperor said, whether you can accept this decree or not, it depends on your own will."

Then he got up and left Lian Liming's house like this.

Lian Liming looked at the imperial decree in a daze, and even forgot to send Wen Tianxiang off.

When he came back to his senses again, Wen Tianxiang's figure was gone.

Lian Liming opened Zhao Dongting's edict with a little heaviness and curiosity.

The words above made his eyes bulge immediately, filled with disbelief.

In the vast Fujian, I only listen to Mr. Lian, who is upright and upright, and has a breeze in his sleeves.As the second place in the list, he has been the Tingzhou Water Transport Envoy for more than ten years and has not been promoted. He is underestimated by all officials, but he still benefits the people of Tingzhou.This great perseverance and great love should be the most among the officials in Fujian.I am willing to be treated by the Fujian Road Jiedu envoy, and Mr. Lian will think about it for himself.

All the words in the imperial edict are to praise Lian Liming.

What moved Lian Liming the most was Zhao Dongting's last sentence.

Lian Liming can decide for himself whether to be the Fujian Road Jiedushi or not.This is enough to show how much respect the Holy One has for him.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the emperor's grace.

In the end, Lian Liming was just a mere water transport envoy, even if he was born in the second place, compared to the emperor, what is it?
If the emperor didn't respect him as a person, there was no need to give him the right to make his own decisions.

The emperor is heaven.

Who dares to defy the emperor's will?
Not to mention, this imperial decree was for Lian Liming to be promoted.And it's several grades in a row.

After seeing the imperial decree, Lian Liming was stunned for a long time, and finally his eyes turned red.The desolation of being underappreciated for more than ten years seems to have all turned into warmth at this moment.

Although Lian Liming has done some things for the people of Tingzhou, how can He De be like the emperor?

Since then, Zhao Dongting's figure in Lian Liming's heart has become extremely tall.Although, he hadn't even seen Zhao Dongting at that time.

And for the next two years, Lian Liming went to Changsha to report government affairs to Zhao Dongting, and had long talks with Zhao Dongting twice, and he admired Zhao Dongting even more.

Lian Liming was deeply impressed by the little emperor's various political views, political methods, and personal courage.

Song Dynasty can have such a bright master, what reason does Lian Liming have for not giving up life and forgetting death?

The emperor treated him with such grace, why should Lian Liming not be grateful to Dade?

Therefore, since Lian Liming took office, he has been loyal to his duties and has taken care of Fujian Road as his own home.

But now, there are robbers breaking into the house outside the house, how can Lian Liming not be worried?
He had sworn in front of Zhao Dongting that he would build a prosperous Fujian road for the emperor in his lifetime.

"Master Lian!"

When Lian Liming was in a daze, Huang Hua walked in from the outside.

Lian Liming raised his head in a daze, saw Huang Hua, his eyes finally showed some brilliance, and asked: "Master Huang, what happened to the army commander?"

He is the chief officer of Fujian Road.And Huang Hua, as the pacifier of Fuzhou Road, is the patron saint of Fujian Road.

Of course, Wen Tianxiang, who is stationed in Fujian Road, does not count.

Lian Liming also knew the news of Zhi Yongshou's siege, so he was so worried just now.Without the Fuzhou garrison, he would not be able to defend Changle County.

Huang Hua walked up to Lian Liming and sat down by himself, sighing: "Chief Zhi and the others have been rescued. However, many martyrs were killed and injured, and almost all the eminent monks in the Arhat Hall of Yongquan Temple passed away... ..."

Lian Liming was stunned.

Finally sighed, "Oh..."

His thin cheeks looked a little depressed at the moment.

He also knows that these righteous men of the rivers and lakes are a great help in guarding Changle County.This news is really chilling.

After a while, Lian Liming asked Huang Hua again, "Then Master Huang came to look for me in such a hurry, is it..."

Huang Hua sighed and said: "Right now there are only four thousand guards left in the city, I would like to ask Lord Lian to... call some more young men to the city to help us resist the yuan thieves."

"This……"

Lian Liming's face immediately showed hesitation, "The people are the foundation of the country, and I, as a parent official in Fujian,...how can I be so determined to issue such a call-up order..."

Huang Hua said: "I don't want the people to resist the Yuan thief, but have you ever thought that if the Yuan army breaks through the city, can the people still live well?"

Then he continued: "I know Lord Lian, you love the common people, but right now, there is nothing you can do about it. Yuan thieves are coming in menacingly, our Fuzhou defenders are afraid..."

Lian Liming frowned slightly, "Master Huang, can you tell me the truth, if you don't recruit the people to go to the city, how long can you stop the Yuan thief?"

Huang Hua replied: "It depends on how much the Yuan army's commander A Shu is willing to pay. If he doesn't care about the price, it is estimated that the inner city will hold on for at most two days."

Lian Liming nodded slightly.

Then he said: "When the Yuan army attacks the city, I will personally lead all the officials to the city to set an example for the people. It's just this call... I really have no face to issue it."

Whether the people are willing to go to the city to stop the Yuan army is a matter for the people.But when the call-up order is issued, the taste will change.

Since Zhao Dongting came to power, the capital of the Song Dynasty has never forced the people to go to the city to fight.

Seeing Lian Liming like this, Huang Hua had no choice but to hand over his hands, "If this is the case, then there will be Lao Lian Liming."

Of course, he didn't want the situation to reach a point where the common people would go to the city to fight, but now, he had to plan ahead.

I only hope that when Lian Liming leads the officials to the top of the city, some people will be touched by them.

In this way, Changle County may be able to hold on for a little longer.

And as long as the Guangnan East Road garrison arrives, the situation in Changle County will always be a little better.

This night passed quietly.

A Shu did not lead the army to attack the city again.

The Yuan army under his command was only entrenched in the outer city, forming a siege to the inner city.

The torches at the top of the city were lit all night, and many soldiers stayed up all night.

The tense atmosphere was always condensed in the air and never dissipated.

Huang Hua, Gao Tianzong and the others had already prepared for the worst.That is to fight to the death with the Yuan army in this inner city.

They have no way to go back.

But probably no one expected that the situation would suddenly turn around in Qingming the next day.
