   Chapter 133 Appointments

However, the court did not take his book to heart, and after flipping through it, he threw it there, and he didn't tell it at the court meeting. He just mentioned it when the King of the East Sea was discussing matters, "The Hun army that was driven away fled to Ru. In the area of ​​Xiping, Nanjun, the magistrate and chief of Xiping County died."

   King Donghai didn't care and asked, "Is Yang Yang still fighting?"

   "Yes, the governor of Runan is still holding on to Yangyang and is asking the court for help."

  Everyone looked at the King of the East Sea, so did you send troops to rescue him?

  The King of the East Sea thought for a moment, and found that he could not send any manpower, so he looked around, and he said, "Order the prefect of Yingchuan to rescue."

  People:  …

  Yingchuan was hit by a disaster last year, and this year has also been extremely difficult. Many people have fled, and many victims have joined the refugee army.

  The King of the East Sea continued: "Let Runan provide Yingchuan with rations."

  Everyone thinks it's really okay, Runan is short of people now, and Yingchuan is short of food, just right.

   So there is no objection.

Fu Yi's forehead twitched when he heard this, but thinking of Gou Xi, who is now outside of Luoyang, and Jingzhao County, which has received more than half of it, he did not object to this suggestion, but said: "My lord, the Xiongnu army retreating south. It must be cleaned up, if they are not driven out of Jiangnan, those east of Luoyang will be lost."

   East Sea King asked simply and rudely: "Do I still have troops and horses to send? Maybe you can ask Your Majesty if you can send the Imperial Army out to quell the chaos?"

  Fu Zhi said: "Why don't you persuade the King of Chengdu and Governor Gou to fight against the enemy?"

  Donghai King was extremely stressed and irritable during this time, and said directly: "Don't I want to? But there is no counselor with a three-inch tongue, why don't Fu Zhongshu go on behalf of this king?"

  Fu Zhen was silent for a moment, then nodded in response, expressing his willingness to meet Gou Xi.

   King Donghai didn't think he would succeed, and let him go with a sneer.

   Zhao Zhongyu saw that they had finished discussing this matter, and said, "The magistrate of Xiping died in the city. They should be sent a new magistrate. Does the lord have a suitable candidate?"

  The King of the East Sea is short of people now, how could he send people to a small county town like Xiping surrounded by the Huns?

   is not an important barrier, so he waved his hand indifferently and said, "You love gentlemen, let's figure it out."

  Others knew that Xiping was Zhao Zhongyu's hometown, so they were happy to sell him a face, and they all asked, "Does Zhao Shangshu have a recommendation?"

   Zhao Zhongyu said: "There is no candidate for the county magistrate, but there is one for the county magistrate..."

   Zhao Zhongyu recommended his nephew Zhao Ming.

   Someone said: "I remember that Zhao Ming decided in his early years, and he decided on the middle grade. Then he is more than enough to serve as the county magistrate, why only the county magistrate?"

   Zhao Zhongyu said: "He has no experience, and currently only has the ability to be a county magistrate."

   But he became the county magistrate, who else would dare to go to Xiping to be the magistrate?

   Don't say that the Zhao family is a famous family in Xiping, just say that Zhao Ming's grade, he is middle grade, then when he is the county magistrate, why should he be middle grade or top grade?

   But no matter it is middle grade or top grade, who would go to a small Xiping county to be the magistrate, and may be subject to the local gentry?

   Everyone thinks that the Zhao family is too pretentious, and the direct county magistrate is, who pretends to be modest to show it?

   However, everyone still complimented him with face and agreed. Ji Yuan's appointment as the headmaster was also a matter of taking the lead, and few people noticed.

   And the person who noticed was Fu Zhen.

  It is strange enough for Zhao Ming to be the county magistrate, but Ji Yuan actually went to be the chief clerk. Who is the vacated county magistrate going to give?

   Or who is it convenient for?

  Fu Zhen felt that he had not contacted his grandson for a long time, so it was time to send a letter to greet him.

   Zhao Zhongyu returned home and told Zhao Ji, "Write a letter to Zi Nian, saying that what he asked for has been done, and the official documents from the imperial court will arrive in Xiping in a few days."

   Zhao Ji responded, and he was also very puzzled, "Father, why didn't Zi Nian directly become the county magistrate, but the county magistrate?"

   How did he know?

   Zhao Zhongyu said: "You can go to the letter and ask him."

   Zhao Ji didn't want to ask, and seemed to have a very low IQ.

Zhao Zhongyu rubbed his forehead tiredly, and said after a moment of silence: "Tell Zi Nian that the imperial court has no troops to assist Runan now, so let him be careful, if not, then take his clan to the north and avoid this war for the time being. "

   Zhao Ji was shocked when he heard the words, "Is the situation so serious?"

   "There is news that Liu Yuan is about to become emperor from the north. If he can conquer Yuzhou at this time, then he will be in front of the world."

   Zhao Ji was puzzled: "Why didn't your lord send troops to drive out the Huns?"

"Your Highness didn't expect that when the Huns retreated, they would head south. He first sent troops to subdue Chang'an. Now that more than half of Jingzhao County has been recovered, he can't give up all his previous achievements." Zhao Zhongyu sighed, "It can only be seen if Fu Zhi can say Gou. Xi."

   As long as Gou Xi retreats, the King of the East Sea can squeeze out a few men to support Yuzhou.

   However, this is not something that can be done overnight, Zhao Zhongyu still hopes that Zhao Ming can stand up, keep Xiping, and keep Zhao's Wubao.

   His eyes fell on the letter on the desk, Ji Yuan gave Zhao Ming a hand, did they subdue Ji Yuan?

   With Jiyuan there, there is some chance of winning, right?

  Although the Xiongnu soldiers were rampant in Yuzhou, the communication of the court was not intercepted, and Zhao Hanzhang quickly received the official document.

   That's right, the official document was sent directly to the county office, so it was received by Zhao Hanzhang.

   The soldier who came to deliver the official document was amazed. He didn't expect that the current county magistrate seemed to be a girl. He looked around and asked, "Where's Zhao Ming?"

   Zhao Hanzhang said softly and weakly: "Uncle went back to Wubao. He didn't know that the messenger would send official documents. I'll send someone to invite my uncle to come back."

The    soldier had no doubts and asked, "How long? I have to go back and return to my life."

   "Not long ago, our Zhao family is not far from the county seat." The soldier's bento, Zhao Hanzhang, was Zhao Ming's family member, and he probably took care of the backyard, but he came to the front yard for some reason.

   Zhao Hanzhang got up and left, and asked Qiu Wu to entertain people, "Watch closely, don't let him walk around, and don't let him hear what he shouldn't hear."

   Qiuwu bowed to answer, "Yes."

   Zhao Hanzhang asked someone to go to Wubao to invite Zhao Ming, and she went back to the study to continue her official business.

Zhao Ming came quickly, and after receiving the official document, he wrote a receipt to him, handed the official document to Zhao Hanzhang, patted his butt, and wanted to leave. When he walked to the door, he remembered something, and turned back: "Ji Yuan...he is still there. Go to Cai?"

   Zhao Hanzhang looked at the official document in his hand with satisfaction. Hearing this, he raised his head and smiled at him: "Mr. Ji is not needed here for the time being."

   Understood, she just wanted to make sure that the county magistrate and the registrar were her people, so that she could control Xiping.

   Zhao Ming thought for a while and said, "It's been ten days, you should go back to Wubao to meet the elders of the clan."

   Now that Xiping County has stabilized and everything is back on track, she does have to deal with some follow-up issues.

   She not only has to go back to Wubao, but also to Shangcai. I wonder if the county magistrate of Shangcai County can fall asleep during this time?
