Chapter 52: The Heavenly Crusaders! The Governor-General

“Huh!~”

Lu Xiu let out a long sigh of relief.

The ancients were not lying to me.

It is true that beating up the person who stuns you will make you feel refreshed.

[Ding! ]

[The host has beaten up Bud, and feels refreshed and clear-minded. ]

[Obtained luck value: 70 points. ]

[Luck entry target: Bud]

[Target luck level: purple. ]

[Drawing rewards through luck value……]

[Ding! ]

[Congratulations to the host for winning the reward: 13th-level forbidden spell Heavenly Crusaders. ]

[13th-level forbidden spell Heavenly Crusaders: a strategic-level magic that creates thousands of thunder beasts and transforms the entire world into a thunder element affinity field.

Minimum requirement for use: top-level demon, insufficient magic power will reduce its power. 】

“Not bad ability, it makes up for my lack of strategic means.”

“It’s just that the requirements for using this top-level demon are a bit tricky.”

“Fortunately, it’s not that the top-level demon can’t be used. It’s just that after using it, the power will be reduced a lot, but it’s much better than not using it at all.”

On the stands.

Everyone opened their eyes wide.

Defeated…….

The invincible general of the empire, just lost like this? !

They originally came to see General Budd select talents, but who knew that they saw the scene of General Budd being beaten.

“Minister, what do you say?”

The little emperor opened his red lips, swallowed his saliva, and looked at the minister beside him.

“What do you mean? Of course, congratulations to your majesty!”

“It is your majesty’s honor to have such a young general! It is the honor of the empire!” The minister did not hesitate to praise Lu Xiu.

“…………”

The little emperor pouted.

Didn’t this minister just say that Lu Xiu would not be allowed to be a general? Why is he called “young general” now?

However… considering that Lu Xiu defeated Budd directly.

It seems normal to call him that…

On the training ground.

General Budd knelt on one knee, and layers of white smoke came out of his heavy armor.

“Bang!~”

With his hands supporting the ground, General Budd barely climbed up.

Shaking his head, Budd still felt that his brain was in a mess, as if Lu Xiu had punched him in the head several times.

But… Lu Xiu’s attacks clearly all landed on his imperial armor…

After a long while, Budd regained the ability to speak.

“I lost.”

After saying this, the heavy armor on Budd’s body gradually dissipated.

Like the evil spirit, Budd’s “Admiral” is usually stored in his weapon.

However, Bud’s physical fitness is so strong that he can always equip the bodyThe armor-type imperial device with a huge load on the body.

Now that he took back the imperial device on his own initiative, it meant that… he didn’t even have the spare energy to maintain the imperial device armor.

“I hereby declare! The winner is–Lu Xiu!”

The little emperor announced excitedly, without any sense of loss that his general was defeated.

Just kidding.

It’s not like he lost a general.

But he got a new general, why shouldn’t he be happy?

Back to the deepest part of the palace.

Along the way, Lu Xiu could clearly feel that the eyes along the way were different from before.

Whether it was the maids, the imperial guards, or the officials he met along the way, the eyes he looked at him were full of awe and yearning.

What they respected was strength.

What they yearned for… was his future.

At a young age, he reached the level of a general and defeated General Bud.

Probably, in the next few decades, this person will be the strongest in the empire!

Even if you can’t join his camp, it will definitely not hurt to have a good relationship with him.

On the throne.

The little emperor in white socks sat cross-legged playfully, and his white and tender thighs reflected an attractive luster.

Even if the ministers around her kept signaling her not to be so rude, she looked completely indifferent.

At this time, her attention was all on Lu Xiu.

“Lord Lu Xiu, guess what position I plan to reward you with”

The little emperor raised the imperial edict in his hand, put his hand in front of his lips, and asked with a smile.

“Your Majesty, wasn’t it General Bud and Minister Ernest who discussed and made the decision?”

Lu Xiu also smiled and replied.

Lu Xiu’s answer was undoubtedly meaningful.

What he meant was that this position was actually the result of a compromise between the ministers and General Bud, and had nothing to do with the emperor.

At this time, the power of the ministers in the empire was almost the same as the power of the emperor. Without the consent of the ministers, even if the emperor gave him the position of a general, he would only be a commander without troops.

After hearing Lu Xiu’s words, the emperor looked slightly annoyed.

“Oh? Do you mean that I don’t care about you?!”

Lu Xiu shook his head.

“No, how could it be possible? Your Majesty is very happy today. I can see that Your Majesty is very happy today.”

“Hmph! Don’t use this kind of thing to fool me! I! … I also feel that I am not serious enough…”

The emperor dodged his eyes and was a little embarrassed.

Speaking of which, she did let Bud and Ernest quarrel in this matter, and she just waited for the result by the side.

“In short… I think I should give a unique reward to show my love for talents.”

“As for the specific reward, I haven’t thought about it yet, but I will give a reward within a month.I will definitely give it to you! How is it, are you satisfied, Lord Lu Xiu?”

“Yes, thank you for your trouble, Your Majesty.” Lu Xiu smiled helplessly.

This little emperor is the type who would do anything to save face.

“It’s good that Lord Lu Xiu knows! ”

“Minister, announce the decree~”

The little emperor handed the imperial edict to the minister.

[The decree says:]

[Lu Xiu, the lord of Ninbu City, is respectful and humble, and loves the people like his own children. During his tenure, he has made outstanding achievements and is full of martial virtues.]

[Now, with the recommendation of Minister Ernest and General Budd, he is specially appointed as the “Governor of the Empire” to control the internal affairs, public security and military affairs of the imperial capital.]

[I hope he will work hard for the country and the people, so as not to fail the grace of the emperor!]

[The decree is over——]

“Governor Lu Xiu, why don’t you accept the decree and thank the emperor?”

“Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace, Lu Xiu. ”

Lu Xiu knelt on one knee and took the golden imperial edict from the minister.

Fortunately, the etiquette here is Western rather than Chinese.

Lu Xiu has no habit of kneeling on both knees to anyone other than the heaven and earth.

Kneeling on one knee is fine. It can be not only a knight to a princess, but also a subordinate to a king, or even… a suitor to a proposee.

The edict is over. (To read a violent novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Lu Xiu was taken to a simple meal by the little emperor and the minister.

After the meal.

Say goodbye to the little emperor, Minister Ernest sent Lu Xiu out of the palace.

Along the way, Minister Ernest’s attitude was extremely friendly.

…….[]

“Governor Lu Xiu, the position of the Imperial Governor is a newly established position. From this position, we can see that His Majesty loves Governor Lu Xiu. ”

“At such a young age, you have climbed to the position closest to the general. Governor Lu Xiu has a bright future~”

The minister’s words were ambiguous.

What he really meant was.

[The position of governor is unprecedented. I fought for you specifically.]

Whether you can understand and accept the minister’s words is the next level of threshold.

In response, Lu Xiu’s answer was.

“I have to thank General Bud for his humility. Otherwise, if I were defeated, His Majesty’s reward to me would definitely not be so much.”

“By the way, I don’t know what specific rights I, the governor, can have?”

Generally speaking, the longer a department has been established, the greater the power it has.

A newly established department needs other departments to give up power, and it is unlikely to have too much power in the early stage.

“Hahaha~ Governor Lu Xiu is really a real person. ”

“Okay, I’ll tell you directly~”

The minister stroked his beard.

Sure enough, a person who can develop a small village into a city must have basic political literacy.

“The governor is mainly responsible for the affairs around the imperial city, and has three main responsibilities.”

“First, he is in charge of the internal affairs of the imperial capital and manages the internal affairs.Minister, Minister of Internal Affairs, Minister of Taxation, and their subordinate institutions. ”

“Secondly, he is in charge of the security of the imperial capital, and manages the imperial capital guard and its subordinate members. ”

“Thirdly, he is in charge of the newly established imperial capital guards, which are under the jurisdiction of three generals and six deputy generals. He can obtain three imperial instruments from the imperial treasury, or draw three imperial instrument envoys from all over the empire. ”

“Considering that the governor’s authority is not small, your majesty has granted the right to open a government office, and Governor Lu Xiu can choose his own subordinates to assist him in handling government or military affairs. ”

“In short, as long as it is in the imperial capital, many things are within the management authority of Governor Lu Xiu. ”

“………”

Lu Xiu was silent.

Good fellow.

Can such a position be given out?

Sure enough, it would be better if this empire perished.

[The internal affairs of the imperial capital are undoubtedly the meat cut out by the minister. He probably wants to make my governance ability shine so that he can make more money.]

[The imperial capital guard is a bit interesting. It can also be regarded as the power of the minister. I didn’t expect that the minister would cut two pieces of meat for me.]

[As for the imperial capital guards… it’s even more interesting…]

“Minister Ernest, I remember that the imperial capital guards are subordinate to General Budd….” Lu Xiu paused.

“Yes, they are subordinate to General Budd.” The minister grinned.

“General Budd was defeated by Governor Lu Xiu and thought he was not qualified to be the commander of the imperial guards. ”

“.So, General Bud himself proposed that he was willing to abdicate and let Governor Lu Xiu take over, and he would only serve as the commander of the Imperial City Guard.”

“So that’s it…”

Lu Xiu touched his chin.

Now it makes sense.

Bud cut off 80% of his power.

Then, he asked the ministers to cut off part of their power and hand it over to him as the governor.

[I’m afraid that in his opinion, he can’t perfectly protect some conscientious officials anyway. Instead of doing that, it’s better to hand it over to me.]

[Because, with my strength, no one can complete the assassination of me.]

[A general with the ability to govern internal affairs , even if something goes wrong in governance, he will not be liquidated, and he has a lot of room for maneuver in the officialdom. 】

[If it doesn’t work out, he can give up the right to govern and just be a general. 】

[This is even more dangerous for the minister, because it means that he has completely offended me. 】

[Compared with Budd, I am younger and more unruly. Unlike Budd, I am still bound by the ancestral precepts. 】

[Budd has done a great job to achieve this. 】

“Governor Lu Xiu, I don’t know that I am incompetent and cannot govern the imperial capital.”

“Now that the imperial capital is in your hands, you must not let down His Majesty’s kindness.”

The minister held Lu Xiu’s hand, with a tearful look of emotion.

If you don’t know, you would really think he is a loyal minister.

“Of course, minister. Loyalty to government affairs is loyalty to His Majesty.”

Lu Xiu smiled and replied.

I forgot the first part, and the second part, anyway, loyalty!

“Let’s not talk about government affairs for now. I believe that Governor Lu Xiu’s governance ability is better than mine.”

“However, Governor Lu Xiu, please take care of the security of the imperial capital.” The minister looked worried.

“Oh? The imperial capital is thriving? There are actually security problems?”

Lu Xiu knew what the minister wanted to say when he looked at him sticking his butt out.

(Damn it) Under Lu Xiu’s gaze, the minister said slowly.

“Yes, the security of the imperial capital is indeed in trouble.”

“Recently, there is a group called “Night Raid” in the imperial capital. They wantonly kill officials and nobles, which has greatly affected the stability of the imperial capital.”

“In order to have a stable governance environment and to let His Majesty have a good sleep, Governor Lu Xiu, I hope you can take care of the night raid.”

“Night raid…”

Lu Xiu snorted.

“Let these little thieves who only dare to do things secretly come to me.”

“I will wipe out these little thieves who will disturb His Majesty and the ministers!”

“Hahaha~~ Governor Lu Xiu is worthy of my favor.”

“Then, I’ll trouble you with the night raid and the imperial capital’s government affairs!”

The minister smiled and stretched out his hand.

Whether Lu Xiu could solve it or not, he didn’t care.

If Lu Xiu can solve it, he will have fewer worries, and it will prove that Lu Xiu is willing to cooperate with him.

If Lu Xiu cannot solve it, he can also take the opportunity to take back the ceded power and make Bud the only one who suffers.

No matter how you calculate it, he will not suffer.

Lu Xiu and the minister held hands in the air.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

People who don’t know would think that the two are some kind of friendship regardless of age difference.

“By the way, Governor Lu Xiu.”

“The Governor’s Mansion is still under construction, so it is not convenient to leave it for the time being.”

“I recently heard that an earl was captured by General Bud.”

“I have specially approved that Governor Lu Xiu can use the earl’s mansion as a temporary office.”

“Just consider it as a token of my old man’s kindness.”

“Governor Lu Xiu, please enjoy it to your heart’s content…”

As he spoke, Minister Ernest grinned, revealing his strong and bright white teeth. .
