Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 725 Wu Mei's Thoughts, The Deputy City Lord Haunts

Someone broke in, and the conference room fell silent instantly. After they saw the person coming, they stood up and bowed their hands respectfully, saying, "I have seen the King of Wu, and the King of Yue!"

It was Li Tai and Li Ke who came here. Originally, Li Tai didn't plan to come forward about this matter, but his father didn't know what to think about it. Such an incident made things complicated all at once.

As for Li Ke, he was called out by Li Tai this morning. He had no idea what happened in the city at the training camp.

When he knows everything, he jumps angrily!

Xu Hongyi from the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Civil Affairs were all transferred from Chang'an when he left. In the past two years, after joining the army, he went to Goguryeo, and then went to Lanzhou. After returning, he just rested for a few days He went to the training camp to train recruits, and didn't have time to meet his subordinates.

Unexpectedly, in just over two years, his subordinates already had this kind of strength, and even wanted to seize Xincheng from Dingyi!

Fortunately, the father didn't suspect anything, if not, it would be ugly if the elder brother suspected that he was going to compete with him for the throne!
Li Ke said in a deep voice: "Xu Hongyi, I didn't expect you to have such abilities! It seems that I was the one who delayed you when you were in Prince Wu's residence!"

Xu Hongyi hurriedly explained: "My lord, I'm just thinking about the new city, and I absolutely don't have any selfish intentions!"

Li Ke didn't pay attention to Xu Hongyi, he knew that this former retainer of him must have a new master now, but he didn't know it all the time!

There is no need for those retainers in my house to exist anymore. Since I don't have the heart to fight for the throne, and I don't plan to go into politics, those retainers don't need to exist, lest my elder brother doubt me!
"Meier, come in!" Li Tai shouted towards the door.

Sure enough, Wu Mei followed behind them, but at this time she was no longer the same as when she was complaining to Li Tai and Li Ke.

The hair that Xiao Qing helped her tie up didn't look like a nine-year-old child, it was much older than she actually was.Coupled with her calm expression, she certainly has the appearance of a superior.

"I heard that someone wants to depose me as the city lord?" Wu Mei walked to the seat of the city lord, raised her head slightly and looked at Xu Hongyi calmly.

Xu Hongyi felt as if he was being watched by a fierce tiger, and unconsciously stepped back a few steps to give up his seat.

Wu Mei sat on the seat of the city lord, glanced at everyone, and said: "Before the city lord leaves, let me act as the city lord. At first I couldn't understand why a nine-year-old child was asked to be the city lord. But until today I finally thought Understood!"

"The teacher sees far, and knows that there are many problems in the new city, but when he was here, these problems all sank to the bottom of the water, so he asked me to be the city owner. I just want to see who is not convinced, and who has to do something!"

"Everyone really lived up to expectations, all kinds of people jumped out!"

"Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Ministry of Taxation, you two are timid and afraid of getting into trouble, you just want to live in peace and don't want to make any contribution to Xincheng! Officials like you are not what Xincheng needs! Xincheng, Xincheng! It is a city that represents hope, It represents the city of the future, but there are people like you holding it back!"

Wu Mei became more and more angry as she talked, she slapped the table, glanced at the nine ministers on the right, and said, "The two of them are abominable and abominable for not doing anything, but you are even more abominable than them! You not only failed the teacher's trust, but also gave Xincheng 30 The people don’t care about it and only know about their own interests. Especially you...Xu Hongyi! The Ministry of Land and Resources can hand it over to you because of the teacher’s trust and friendship with the King of Wu, but you only know about your own interests and have sold the land privately many times The teacher didn't deal with it before because he was too lazy to deal with it, but I am different, and what you committed this time is also different!"

"Miss Wu, as the minister of the Ministry of Land and Resources, it is within my duty to sell the land. How can you say that you are negligent? Besides, the city lord ordered you to act as the city lord, and you have not been officially approved by the court. I don't know if you are now In what capacity do you talk to this official? Could it be that the order of the city lord is more effective than the imperial decree in the new city?" Xu Hongyi was very upset when a little girl said that, what kind of thing are you to dare to point fingers at me?

Wu Mei was speechless for a moment, the problem Xu Hongyi said did exist, she was not officially certified by the imperial court as acting as the city lord, it was just Ding Yi's words.

The more insidious thing about Xu Hongyi is that he compares Ding Yi's order with the imperial decree. If it is complied with, it will definitely have a great impact on the teacher.

"Xu Hongyi, it's not your turn to question Ding Yi's order! From today onwards, you, and the two of you, go back to my mansion!" Li Ke pointed at him angrily and cursed. It belongs to Datang, but this city was built by Ding Yi alone. In Li Ke's heart...and even more people's hearts, this city belongs to Ding Yi, but no one would say that.

Xu Hongyi was heartbroken, and said to Li Ke, "King Wu, thank you for your cultivation over the years. It's just that the next official is an order official approved by the court, and it's not a child's play to stay or stay!"

"You..." Li Ke was about to wave his hand and hit someone in an instant. The habits he had developed in the army for the past two years had already made him no longer what he was before.

Li Tai held onto Li Ke, looked at Xu Hongyi interestingly, and said, "You are fine! The appointment and dismissal of officials in the new city cannot be decided by the third elder brother alone, but...the appointment and dismissal of officials in the new city can be decided by the city lord and deputy city lord! "

"???"

Everyone looked at Li Tai suspiciously for a moment, deputy city lord?When did Xincheng have a deputy city lord?Never heard of it!
"Hehe, you are confused, and this king is also very puzzled!" Li Tai laughed and said, "At the beginning, Ding Yi asked this king to be the deputy city lord, but he didn't make it public. Lazy! Too lazy to take care of things! Xincheng has never been a city of one word, nor is it a city of dictators, but its leader prefers to watch the city develop independently, and he will only give a little guidance while watching."

"As for the documents appointed by the deputy city lord, you can find them in the official department, and this king will not prove anything to you!"

"From today onwards, Xu Hongyi will be dismissed from the position of Minister of Land and Resources. He is responsible for corruption, bribery and embezzlement of public funds. The inspection team will show relevant evidence to the Ministry of Supervision, and the Police Department will be responsible for sending him to the joint prison!"

"The ministers of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Taxation, and the two ministries were passive and slowed down, did not act, and were dismissed from their positions. They did not make any mistakes during their tenure, and they can enjoy the retirement allowance of Xincheng officials."

"The Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the ministers will remove their positions. The personnel department will select candidates and submit them to the City Lord's Mansion for decision."

"Ministers of the Urban Management Department, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Prices, and the Family Planning Department, recorded a major demerit once, and entered it into the year-end official assessment!"
