I rely on gossip to save the country

When the young man heard Xie Chuyue scold him for being stupid because of studying too much, his expression froze. Why did this girl speak so venomously?

However, she was a very smart girl. When she thought of this, she smiled and said, "What the girl said is true. Maybe she really has become stupid because of reading too much."

Xie Chuyue: …………

The boy was about to leave and follow Xie Chuyue's method to deal with the bugs, but when he saw the person kneeling at Xie Chuyue's feet, he exclaimed,

"Dad??? Didn't I ask you to deal with the bugs in the south of the city? What are you still doing here?"

System: [Host, this is the only son of Yu Chao, the Lord of Yuecheng. This kid is very talented and a rare talent. He also looks like a man who loves the people! He is much better than his useless father.]

Xie Chuyue frowned, looking suspiciously at the handsome young man, then at the shifty-looking city lord, and began to disbelieve her own eyes.

These two people don't look alike in any way, no matter their appearance or personality. How can they be father and son?

Confused, Xie Chuyue asked the boy, "He - Yu Chao, is he your father???"

The young man nodded and explained to Xie Chuyue, "I'm afraid you are not a local, right? My name is Yu Haoyang, and this is my father."

"It turned out to be Master Yu!"

Although Xie Chuyue still didn't believe it, since others had admitted it, there was no point in her not believing it.

Although this city lord is not a good guy, this boy is a good boy. Judging from his appearance, he should be worried about the insect plague.

The young man was really enthusiastic and always cared about the people. Thinking of this, Xie Chuyue finally felt relieved.

Yu Chao looked at his son who was so arrogant and stupid, and explained hurriedly, "Haoyang, this is our Nanyue country's little princess. You should be careful with your words and don't be disrespectful."

"Eunuch, princess?" The young man was stunned for a moment, still a little bit unbelievable. Seeing the people around him nodding one after another, he came over and saluted quickly, "I pay my respects to the little princess."

Xie Chuyue had a good impression of the young man, so she waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite, let's solve the insect plague first."

Now is not the time to pay attention to the etiquette between the emperor and his subjects. Dealing with the insect plague is more important!

"Take your father with you to deal with it. Never mind. This princess will go with you." Xie Chuyue originally wanted to let the father and son go together, but she was still a little worried, so she decided to go herself.

After saying that, Xie Chuyue left first, and Yu Haoyang followed. Before leaving, he glanced at his father, a look full of disgust, and Yu Chao also stumbled and followed.

After knowing Xie Chuyue's identity, Yu Haoyang became much more respectful. Looking at the little princess walking in front of him with admiration, he asked softly, "Little Princess, what should we do first?"

Xie Chuyue thought that only by dealing with the ones outside the city would there be no insects extending out from the city, so she spoke.

"First, call the people together and ask them to drive their chickens to the rice fields. Then ask them to leave some people to guard the rice fields, and the rest to return to the city and work with the officers and soldiers in the city to clear the insects from their homes and the city."

After Xie Chuyue finished speaking, she realized that she had overlooked a question, so she turned around and asked Yu Haoyang, "Master Yu, where is the place with the biggest vacancy in the city?"

Yu Chao rushed to answer, "Little Princess, there are quite a lot of open spaces, in the west, east, south and north of the city. There are several acres of open space."

He originally planned to use these lands to build a palace for himself, since the emperor wouldn't know about it anyway, but now it seems impossible.

Xie Chuyue glanced at Yu Chao and said, "Okay, then sweep all the insects from everywhere to those open spaces, and then burn them all to death."

Yu Haoyang bowed respectfully, "Yes, I will go and give the order right away. Thank you, little princess, for saving the people of Yuecheng from danger."

"Don't say thank you or not, just go quickly, saving the people is the most important thing." Xie Chuyue urged, why is this kid so long-winded?

Afterwards, the three men led the people to drive the chickens from their homes to the rice fields.

Afterwards, he led people to clean up the caterpillars in Yuecheng and started burning them.

After five days of hard work, we finally managed to eliminate most of the insects.

Not all of it has been cleaned up, but most of it has been cleaned up. The remaining some is from people's homes. They clean it up at home and then deal with it.

Xie Chuyue was lying on the big bed in the inn. She was really exhausted these days.

System: [Host, what are you going to do next? When will you return to the capital? You have been away from the capital for so long, it would be bad if your father found out. ]

Xie Chuyue sighed and said reluctantly, "There is one more thing I haven't done. I'll go back after I finish it."

Thinking of this, Xie Chuyue dragged her exhausted body, got up and started to wash up. She had to go to the City Lord's Mansion.

After Xie Chuyue had packed up, she ran into Yu Haoyang who came to look for her as soon as she arrived at the door of the inn.

"Little princess, where are you going?" Yu Haoyang asked when he saw Xie Chuyue looking anxious.

Xie Chuyue rolled her eyes, "What do you care about me?"

Yu Haoyang scratched his head and laughed, "Hehe, how dare I, a commoner, care about you, Princess!"

Xie Chuyue chuckled twice. This kid is much smarter than his father. "It's better to come at the right time than to come at the right time. I'm going to your City Lord's Mansion. Let's go together."

After Xie Chuyue finished speaking, she left first.

"Yes!" There was a flash of understanding in Yu Haoyang's eyes behind him. The matter was resolved, and the little princess was going to settle accounts with her father. He answered yes and followed her.

The two of them arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. This time, the servant at the gate saluted respectfully, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Xie Chuyue raised her hand and went into the mansion.

Yu Chao did not seek pleasure today. When he heard that Xie Chuyue was coming, he hurried over.

"Your subordinate greets the little princess!"

Xie Chuyue sat in the main seat in the lobby, looking at Yu Chao kneeling below and said coldly,

"Yu Chao, Yu Chao, the people are in trouble, but you don't care. The people are suffering, but you enjoy yourself. People like you are not worthy of being the lord of Yuecheng. You should not sit in this position."

When Yu Chao heard this, he was so scared that he quickly begged for mercy, "Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I will do my best to serve the people and solve their problems. I beg Your Highness to give me a chance."

"Shut up!" Xie Chuyue picked her ears irritably.

"This princess has the right to remove you from the position of city lord, and she also has the right to appoint someone else to the position of city lord."

Xie Chuyue said as she walked down from her high seat and came in front of Yu Haoyang.

"From now on, you are the lord of Yuecheng. Take good care of Yuecheng, and I will speak well of you to my father.

Yu Haoyang knelt on one knee, "Yes! Thank you, Princess, for your promotion!"

Yu Haoyang looked at his father kneeling beside him with a complicated expression, then looked at Xie Chuyue and said, "Your Highness, no matter how wrong he was, he is still my father. Your Highness, can you spare my father's life?"

Xie Chuyue looked at Yu Chao, who was full of hope, and then looked at Yu Haoyang. She lifted his chin with her finger and said word by word, "I am just a princess. I have no right to decide his life or death. I will take this dog official back to the capital and let my father deal with him."

Yu Chao collapsed to the ground after hearing this, but Yu Haoyang's eyes were calm. When he looked at his father, he was very disappointed. "Dad, I told you to put the people first, but you didn't listen. You ignored the insect plague this time and just had fun every day. Now I, your son, can't save you."

Yu Haoyang then looked at Xie Chuyue with a serious face and said firmly: "Your Highness, please rest assured! I will do my best to relieve the worries of the people with all my heart.

I will uphold the principles of fairness, integrity, and diligence, actively perform my duties, and strive to make the people live a peaceful and happy life. No matter what difficulties or disasters I encounter, I will not retreat a single step, and will go all out to live up to the expectations of Her Royal Highness the Princess and the people! "

After saying these words, Yu Haoyang bowed to Xie Chuyue again to express his gratitude for her trust.

Xie Chuyue nodded, hoping that Yu Haoyang could become an honest official. Then she shouted to the outside, "Someone, tie up Yu Chao for me. I will personally escort him to the capital."

As soon as Xie Chuyue finished speaking, a group of guards came into the lobby and tied up Yu Chao.

Afterwards, Xie Chuyue explained some matters and took Yu Chao on the journey back to the capital.
