Then, with the tense and orderly assistance of the two guards, Xi Yu carefully examined the results of the registration.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped at a name - Ouyang Lian.

"This Ouyang Lian seems to be very recognized by everyone." Xi Yu said to himself, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

After some verification, Xi Yu found that Ouyang Lian was not only favored by everyone, but also received the highest votes.

He couldn't help but think in his heart: "Can this person really have extraordinary talents and can bear the heavy responsibility of managing Fangjun?"

Next, Xi Yu frowned slightly, glanced at several officials, and asked with a hint of confusion in his tone: "Is Ouyang Lian that powerful?"

Several officials hurriedly bowed, one of them stepped forward and said respectfully: "Prime Minister, Ouyang Lian is an honest official and has never acted corruption or abuse of power. When he was in office, he thought about the people in everything, and his administration was beneficial to the people's livelihood."

Another official then said: "Besides, he is extremely filial to his mother at home and takes good care of him, and has never slacked off at all. His filial piety is well-known in the local area!"

The third official also added: "This person has noble moral character and outstanding talent, and is a rare talent. If he can manage the county, he will definitely benefit the country."

Xi Yu nodded slightly and said with a serious expression: "Since that's the case, then keep this matter secret first and no one should tell it out."

Several officials looked at each other, their faces full of confusion. One of them couldn't help asking, "Prime Minister, why is this?"

Xi Yu had a deep look and said slowly: "You have to ask your Majesty for this matter."

Everyone was stunned at first, then suddenly realized.

An official thought in his heart that he had to go through this form, but everyone knew it. After the Prime Minister said it, he basically decided.

But he still responded: "The Prime Minister is considerate and we understand."

Xi Yu said solemnly behind his hands: "If your Majesty agrees, he will issue an imperial edict then. If you don't agree, then we will continue to elect."

His eyes swept over everyone firmly, "Okay, let's retreat to the court today, you all go back to your house."

After saying that, Xi Yu turned around and left with steady steps. The officials saluted one after another, and then slowly withdrew from the court.

Some officials frowned slightly, secretly pondering the variables in this; some looked relaxed, as if they felt that the result was settled and there was no need to worry; some whispered and whispered to each other and whispered to speculate on subsequent developments.

Xi Yu turned over the horse, waved the whip, and the horse galloped away. He looked solemn, and naturally understood in his heart that this incident caused a lot of storm in Fangjun.

Walking on the street, the people gathered together and discussed.

"Have you heard that? Liu Bei was dismissed and he was going to choose a new county magistrate." An old man said worriedly.

"Can you choose a good official? Don't cheat us ordinary people." A middle-aged man frowned.

"Who knows, I hope there will be a good and honest official to manage our county." A young woman held the child with her face full of expectations.

But when they saw Xi Yu coming on a horse, they were silent and stopped talking.

Xi Yu tied the reins, looked down at everyone, and said slowly: "There is no need to worry about Fangjun, the court will definitely make arrangements."

There was a hint of comfort in his eyes, but there was unquestionable majesty.

The people bowed their heads and responded respectfully: "Yes, Prime Minister."

Xi Yu nodded slightly, waved his whip again, and the horse left in dust.

The people looked at Xi Yu's back as they walked away and whispered in a low voice.

"The Prime Minister said this, I must have a clear idea. Let's wait and see." A man in coarse linen said in a low voice.

"I hope it will be a good result. This day cannot stand up to the trouble." An old man sighed worriedly.

Xi Yu rode a horse and galloped all the way, thinking about Fangjun in his heart.
