Chapter 522           Present and honest

Li Yu came with Jinwu, Lu Chi and Li Kang.

They all wore ordinary casual clothes and looked ordinary.

When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a scholar happened to come out of it.

He met Li Yu and the other four, and was about to pass by, the scholar asked casually: "You are here to visit Mr. Jing too?"

“That’s right!”

Li Yuhan asked with a smile: "Is Mr. Jing at home?"

"at home!"

The scholar nodded and responded, then looked at them curiously, and said, "I don't think I look like a local!"

"We came from the capital!"

Yo!

Now that Qinzhou is in chaos, there are still people who come from the capital to visit Mr. Jing?

The scholar couldn't help asking, "I wonder if this guy has his surname and name?"

"Let's go to Li Yu!"

Li Yu did not hide his identity and directly reported his name.

When I heard his name, the scholar's expression was dazed.

Li Yu…

Why does this name sound so familiar?

Isn’t Li Yu the name of King Wu?

The scholar was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "Young man has a good name, but it seems to be the same as His Highness the King of Wu!"

Li Yu smiled and said, "I am King Li Yu of Wu!"

He said it lightly, but the scholar's face changed drastically after listening to it.

King Li Yu of Wu?

The young man in front of him is King Li Yu of Wu?

He couldn't help but scream, "You... are you the King of Wu?"

His sudden voice attracted everyone nearby.

People stared at Li Yu one by one, one by one, one by one, the next.

Seeing this, Li Kang frowned. So many people came over. What if someone had bad intentions towards His Highness, wouldn’t it be dangerous?

He raised his hand and held the sword under his ribs, and was about to scold everyone around him, Li Yu winked at him and signaled him to be calm.

He smiled at the scholar and said, "I am the King of Wu!"

The scholar was stunned for a moment, and quickly intervened to salute, saying, "The Caomin greets His Highness the King of Wu!"

Everyone around them also reacted and intervened to salute, saying, "Greetings to His Highness the King of Wu!"

Originally, in the minds of scholars, Li Yu had a very poor reputation, mediocre and incompetent, and was extremely licentious. He was a typical second-generation ancestor and a playboy.

However, in the past two years, Li Yu's reputation has improved a lot.

The scholar asked curiously: "I wonder if this is the King of Wu's palace?"

"I'm here to invite Mr. Jing out!"

Li Yu said softly.

"The officials of Qinzhou Prefecture, county officials, and even county officials colluded with each other, greedy for disaster relief and fed for personal gain, which led to the people of all over the country being hungry and the people living in poverty. Some counties and counties were hungry and hungry, which was terrible! Although I was willing to punish these corrupt officials, there was no one available!"

Speaking of this, Li Yu sighed.

The scholars around him were illuminating their eyes when they heard it.

They had long been dissatisfied with the current situation in Qinzhou. The food prices in various parts of Qinzhou were no longer soaring, but were rushing up with rockets. Ordinary people could not afford to buy food at all, and countless people sold their children and women.

These poor scholars live a harder and harder life, and they are in danger of peace, and today and tomorrow are not there.

Now that after hearing Li Yu's words, everyone was worried, as if they had found a close friend.

Some scholars couldn't help but choked and intervened, saying, "Your Highness compassionate with the people's sentiments and severely punishing evil officials is really a blessing for us. It is a blessing for millions of people in Qinzhou!"

Li Yu bowed to everyone around him and said, "I have been to Qinzhou for several months, but it is not until now that I have discovered that the evil deeds of these corrupt officials have been wrongly punished! I also have a responsibility for the hardships of the people in Qinzhou!"

His self-examination greatly won the hearts of scholars around him.

This is of course the effect Li Yu wanted.

Now Li Yu has no one to use, and he is eager to seek talent. Perhaps among the people around him, there are a few talented people who can use it for him!

Even if it doesn’t, it is a good thing to win the hearts of a group of scholars.

Someone had already run into the house and informed Jing Yu inside that King Li Yu of Wu had come in person.

Jing Yu held him again, he could not continue to sit on the Diaoyutai even though he knew that the King of Wu was visiting.

He walked out of the door and everyone around him immediately stepped aside.

Jing Yu looked up and saw Li Yu talking in the middle of the crowd. He walked up to him, intervened and bowed to Li Yu, and said, "Jing Yu, the grass-roots, pay homage to His Highness the King of Wu!"

The main owner has finally come out!

Li Yu looked at Jing Yu.

Jing Yu is not very old, in his thirties, medium-height, fair-looking, elegant and gentle. When he raises his hands too much, he naturally exudes a sense of elegance.

Li Yuhan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Mr. Jing is exempt from gifts!"

"Your Highness, please come in there!"

"Mr. Jing, please!"

The two of them greeted each other and walked into the room.

The scholars present stopped leaving and gathered outside the house, raised their feet, stretched their necks, and looked inside.

Even if Jing Yu's home cannot be called a barren house, it will not be much better.

Judging from Jing Yu's family background, it is hard to believe that he once worked as a doctor in the Ministry of Personnel.

After sitting down, Jing Yu owed Li Yu and said, "I am poor in the humble house, I feel wronged!"

Li Yu smiled disapprovingly.

Soon, Jing Yu brought another cup of tea.

There is no tea in this cup of tea, only tea foam can be seen.

Li Yu didn't dislike it, so he picked up the cup and took a sip.

Seeing this, Jing Yu couldn't help but nodded secretly. This King of Wu is really different from the rumors, and it is very simple.

Before Li Yu could speak, Jing Yu said, "Your Highness's purpose is clear to Caomin!"

Li Yu hurriedly said, "I failed to come in person. I asked Mr. to come out. It is indeed because I have lost my etiquette. Please don't blame me."

Jing Yu shook his head and said, "Your Highness is too worried."

After a moment of pause, he said: "The reason why Caomin refused Your Highness's invitation was because he was extremely disappointed in the court and had no intention of planning a career again!"

The court of the Great Zhou Dynasty was firmly controlled by the so-called founding heroes.

Those mud-legged men, after taking charge of their own affairs, made money everywhere.

Even though there are clear streams like Tao Yuan, they are narrow-minded, eliminate dissidents and form cliques for personal gain.

Corrupt officials are certainly hateful, but they are even more so.

Corrupt officials are greedy for money, while pure currents are greedy for reputation.

Both are greedy, and neither is nobler than each other.

In the court, there are only a few who can truly think about the people.

Therefore, since Jing Yu was dismissed from office, he has never thought of seeking a career again.

Li Yu saw Jing Yu's disappointment in the court, and he sighed softly and asked, "Mr. Jing thinks, what's the situation in Qinzhou now?"

"The storm is in turmoil and in danger!"

"Yes! In order to punish corrupt officials, officials from the prefectures, and even officials from the three counties and counties, were almost all sent to prison by him!"

Jing Yu said seriously: "Your Highness’s original intention was good intentions, but the way... I say bluntly that your highness’s approach is too radical!"
