Chapter 1122 – You All Have a Part of This Earth!
10th month, 27th day, Morocco Province Provincial Governor Mulan Yue, Yunnan Provincial Governor Bai Hua, Jiangchuan Provincial Governor Gong Chengshi, and Beijiang Provincial Governor were all ordered to return to the Capital City, making them confused.
It was only the 10th month, so it was far from the time they needed to return to be debriefed.
The four of them had a common point, which was that they were once Lords that were a part of the Shanhai Alliance. After they joined Great Xia, they all become Provincial Governors, helping to take care of a section of land for the dynasty.
Hence, this meeting appeared more and more unusual.
The place of the debrief was not in the Imperial Reading Room but in the relaxing imperial garden. As such, it was easy to see that the debrief was secondary, and the main matter was to discuss something with the four of them.
Xia Palace, imperial garden.
As it was deep autumn, the flowers in the garden were still blooming. Only the huge trees like the Maidenhair tree and the Yulan Magnolia were filled with golden yellow leaves, signaling the arrival of autumn.
Beside the greenish lake, within the pavilion.
Court ladies wearing traditional Han Chinese dresses were standing at the four corners of the pavilion, ready to refill the tea and water of the big figures in it. Ouyang Shuo sat at the head seat with Mulan Yue and Bai Hua on his left, and Wufu and Gong Chengshi on his right.
Apart from that, there was no one else present.
The atmosphere was a little cold. Being baptized by age and trained by the official field, the five of them were not the youths of when Shanhai Alliance was just established.
All of them had tossed aside their previous immaturity and grew by the day.
Even the youngest Mulan Yue ruled Morocco Province with a lot of authority. Her actions were soft and hard when needed. When standing alongside Queen Kalia of Atlantis, she was not any weaker.
In the eyes of the four of them, there were more or less some doubts.
There were no prior signs that this meeting was going to be called, which would obviously make one worry.
Bai Hua focused on the man sitting at the lead seat. At this moment, who knows what she was thinking? Before coming, her brother even worryingly said, "Is the king planning to ask you all to give up power through a meal?"
As they say, 'After the cunning hare is killed, the hound is boiled.'
Great Xia was undergoing a revolution from top to bottom, solidifying the foundations of the dynasty and storing up energy for another explosion.
Would people like Bai Hua, who had huge influence on their land, meet the requirements of the king's revolutionary targets? No one was certain.
"Moving you away from Consonance City was a sign," her brother said.
Bai Hua smiled and did not judge.
"The others would more or less be worried, right?" Bai Hua looked toward Gong Chengshi and Wufu. Compared to women, a man's ambition was generally a little bigger.
Ouyang Shuo seemed to not notice all this, happily talking with everyone about interesting matters and the lands that they were in charge of. There were already really few opportunities for them to all gather here.
Even if they met up, it was a gathering between king and officials. It was exciting but distant. As a result, Ouyang Shuo especially arranged the location to be the imperial garden instead of the reading room that was too solemn.
The meaning was to ask everyone to not be too wary and careful.
'It's still different in the end.' Although Ouyang Shuo was smiling widely, he sighed in his heart. He was sighing at them and also sighing at himself.
Being in such a position, he had no choice, being forced by circumstances to change.
Although everyone was happy and talking about interesting matters, they could not hide their uneasiness and awkwardness. They could not have heart to heart chats with Ouyang Shuo and became careful.
It was like how an official treated an emperor.
Seeing that the conversation could not go on, Ouyang Shuo took in a deep breath and finally revealed everything, "You are the people I trust the most. We have built up this empire and fought against the Yanhuang Alliance."
Ouyang Shuo spoke really emotionally, reminiscing about the past, "A long time ago, when you all merged with Great Xia, I had made up my mind to compensate all of you."
"My king, we have gotten enough!" The one who spoke was Gong Chengshi.
When the game began, and Gong Chengshi joined Shanhai Alliance, he did not expect that he could become a Provincial Governor, becoming one of the giants of the wilderness.
Strictly speaking, Great Xia treated them well.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head, "This is not enough. It's far from enough. You are different from normal Provincial Governors. They are my officials, but you are my allies. We share the same dreams and ideals. There's no reason for me to stand at the top while all of you slave away quietly."
"You all should have a part of this!" Ouyang Shuo's words stunned them.
Bai Hua and the others were astonished, as they did not expect Ouyang Shuo to be so magnanimous. Such a scene was far from what they had expected coming in.
Even the most mentally prepared Bai Hua was stunned and could not react.
Ouyang Shuo did not care and continued, "In the future, the Imperial Court is prepared to set up four to six Governor-General Houses in the border and overseas to control numerous provinces and the military and administrative matters of different regions."
Toward Governor-General matters, they were not strangers, as Ouyang Shuo himself was one.
If one said that Provincial Governors were officials, then Governor-generals were presences on the same level as the Cabinet, no different from the military governors of the past.
"The four of you are the best choices. Each one of you will have a spot. It's just a matter of time." Ouyang Shuo finally revealed the riddle and gave them four a giant promise.
When the Imperial Court established a Governor-General House would depend on the situation and not on Ouyang Shuo's desire. Hence, there was a matter of time.
"Thank you, king, for your good grace!"
The four of them exchanged glances with one another, not knowing how to react. They could only all stand up and cup their fists.
Ouyang Shuo waved them off and asked them to sit, "The Imperial Court wants to set up the first Governor-General house in the north. It will be the Beijiang Governor-General House to manage Yingzhou Province, Beijiang Province, and Liaojin Province."
'Si~~'
Bai Hua and the others realized that the Imperial Court was doing this for real.
The area of these three provinces added together could be compared to the entire Great Zhou. If they could be appointed as the Governor-General, they would become the most powerful person in the dynasty under Ouyang Shuo.
This temptation was huge.
Beijiang Provincial Governor Wufu's breathing became rushed, but he himself did not notice this.
That's right, out of the four of them, for the position of Beijiang Governor-General, no one was more suitable than Wufu. He had been in charge of Beijiang for a long time, and he was the most familiar with the north.
