Chapter 3722 Selling the Palace for Glory
Xue Mingyuan said, "The central government has no money. It's almost the end of the year. We can send a group of envoys from the Zhongcheng Mansion to collect and seize the Xuanhuang Scorpion. If it doesn't work, we can first get some resources to deal with the situation at hand."
Chen Tingjun said coldly, "It should have been like this a long time ago. I have always been too kind, which makes these people think they are weak and can be bullied."
The calculation was settled, Chen Tingjun quickly ordered a group of envoys to go to various mansions and guards.
The lieutenant envoy's collection of taxes was an important means for the central government to control the various government officials. It not only allowed the lieutenant envoy to understand the underlying situation, but also helped the lieutenant envoy establish contact with the lower level officials.
Before the envoys left this time, Chen Tingjun gathered all the envoys together and gave a lecture.
His core guiding ideology is just one: It is better to be strict than to be lax, and it is better to be in vain than to indulge, and to kill the majesty of the officials below.
After seeing off all the envoys, Chen Tingjun ordered the entrance guard of Ni Xing Palace to be opened. He wanted to open the middle gate wide and wait to see those guys who didn't know how to appreciate him come and beg him.
Only two hours after the envoys were sent down, there was movement outside the gate of Beidou Palace. Chen Tingjun felt happy, pretending to be reserved, and sitting on the main hall, he saw dozens of people galloping in.
He was happy in his heart and had a stern expression on his face. He was about to speak. When he saw the dozens of people arriving, his eyes almost dropped.
This group of people are actually the envoys he sent to collect taxes. If you check carefully, they are all correct.
Before he could ask, Xue Mingyuan asked first. Everyone was excited and chatting, but they explained the situation.
Xue Mingyuan dismissed the crowd and looked at each other with Chen Tingjun.
For a long time, Chen Tingjun put his hand on his forehead and said, "Now I finally understand what it means to sell a palace for glory without a bottom line.
How could Sui Jie, the deputy palace master, survive this? He clearly got it by betraying the interests of the center of Ni Xing Palace.
When we first met him, I thought he was a smiling tiger who had ill intentions towards me.
It turned out that he was really happy for me to take care of this mess so that he could retreat behind the scenes and become his deputy palace master and master of the Deep Space General Palace.
The power of the central government is cut off, the wealth of the central government is lost, the palace is in ruins, and there are few attendants.
He also created this terrible contract system, no wonder he wanted to withdraw from the Zhongcheng Mansion. With this contract system, what is the use of establishing the Zhongcheng Mansion.
Now the central power has basically been sold out by this guy. If I take it back forcibly now, I will undoubtedly fall out with the entire Nixing Palace.
I asked how I could give these guys a salary increase, but no one was grateful. Emotional people don't look at it at all.
There were also the three palace saints, all of whom were gloomy and did not express their opinions. It turned out that they were also fed by Suijie. "
Xue Mingyuan also sighed, "Some people are really reckless in order to get higher positions. For example, this Suijie, I think he just wants to be the deputy palace master. He doesn't care about other powers at all.
With a weirdo like him, no one can do the job well for the palace master.
Fortunately, the Lord is talking about agency. I think this is a wrong place, and the Lord cannot stay for a long time. "
Chen Tingjun nodded slowly, "Mingyuan's concerns are absolutely correct.
I just said, how could such a fat job as the Lord of Nixing Palace be suspended for such a long time?
Everyone knows the secrets of love, but I stepped in without noticing.
And that Jiang Beili is such a villain. In order to get me and Sui Jie to go against each other, he concealed such important information about the contract system, which almost caused me trouble.
This is a wrong place, I won’t wait any longer. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Zuomen came to report, but it was several officials below who came to see him.
Chen Tingjun couldn't help but feel numb when he heard the name of the visitor. These guys came to ask the central government to allocate financial support because of the destruction of Xuanhuang Tower.
He is extremely poor now. He originally wanted to make a fortune by using various envoys, but now it seems that it can only be a delusion.
At that moment, he asked the Zuo goalkeeper to drive away a bunch of guys who were desperate for money, and hurriedly began to prepare a resignation document. He was angry with Suijie in his heart, but he praised Suijie in the document, and stated that today's Ni Xing Gong was unsui. Jay wasn't up to it.
As soon as the official document was sent, Chen Tingjun was waiting for the angel.
The angel didn't wait, but Suijie came first.
"Suijie was shocked to hear that the palace's financial resources were in straits, and he felt really uneasy. It was all because of the lump-sum system introduced by Suimou that the current consequences occurred. The palace chief wants to rectify the situation, but he still needs to be patient. If he talks more, it will always be effective.
In view of the central government's embarrassment, Suijie was willing to allocate part of the public treasury of Shenkong General's Mansion to meet the urgent needs of the palace.
It won't be too late to return when the central government's treasury is full one day. "
Suijie's statement moved Chen Tingjun.
He didn't expect that even now, Suijie was still trying his best to help him secure his position.
Xue Mingyuan conveyed his thoughts and said, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.
It seems that Suijie really hopes that the Lord will stay in the position of the Lord of the Nixing Palace. It is estimated that during this period, he was also in the wind and felt uncomfortable.
I wish the Lord could cover him up in this storm for a while longer. "
Chen Tingjun was convinced, took Sui Jie's hand, patted his shoulder gently and said, "I appreciate Deputy Palace Master Sui's kindness.
I also said before taking office that I am only the acting palace master, and my duty is still that of the patrol envoy.
Now that my work has come to an end, I naturally have to return to the center of the imperial court.
As for the position of the master of the Nixing Palace, brother Sui, don't worry, I have already praised you heavily to the superiors, and I think the center will be here soon.
Brothers, I would like to first congratulate Brother Sui on being appointed as the Lord of the Palace of Inverse Stars. "
Suijie looked horrified, held Chen Tingjun's big hand tightly, and said excitedly, "Brother Chen, why are you doing this? Why are you doing this? I can't bear the position of the master of Nixing Palace.
Brother Chen, if you keep insisting, I will be responsible for lobbying below. The palace's financial resources are not sufficient, and I, the Deep Space Admiral, are willing to do our best to provide it. "
The more generous Suijie expressed his position, the more Chen Tingjun thought that he could not stay here for long, and sent more than a dozen official documents in succession.
Finally, the document approving his resignation came down.
On that day, Chen Tingjun didn't say hello to anyone, and quietly left Nixing Palace like a shooting star chasing the moon.
It was not until the next day that General Zuo Wei discovered the letter Chen Tingjun left before leaving and rang the Bafang Bell.
Not long after, the three palace saints and the six general masters gathered in Ni Xing Palace.
After everyone read Chen Tingjun's letter, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"This guy finally knew what was going on, but he was too hasty and many of the tricks we prepared were not used."
Tan Shengxiao, the general of Zhuque Mansion, said with regret.
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed.
Nowadays, the entire Ni Xing Palace is in an unprecedented harmonious situation. In the past, the generals competed with each other, and each found a palace saint to rely on. Not only did they look at each other with needles, but at least they glared at each other.
Now, no one expected that he could talk and laugh so freely.
"Although Palace Master Chen has left, the position of Palace Master of Nixing Palace is still vacant. The day no one takes this position, it will be a disaster. If someone with skill is sent, let alone withdrawing from the contract system. , it’s not impossible to cause an uproar.”
