Wei and Jin cooks

However, the imperial court didn't pay much attention to his book. After flipping through it, he threw it over there. He didn't bring it to the court to mention. He only mentioned it to the King of Donghai during the meeting, "The driven Huns army fled to Ru." In the Xiping area of ​​​​Nanjun County, the magistrate and chief administrator of Xiping County died in the city."

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

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

Everyone looked at the King of East China Sea, so should we send troops to rescue him?

The King of Donghai thought for a moment and found that he could not send any more men, so he looked around and said, "Let the governor of Yingchuan go rescue him."

Everyone:...

Yingchuan was hit by a disaster last year, and life has been extremely difficult this year. Many people have fled, and many victims have joined the refugee army. They have become thieves everywhere. Send Yingchuan to rescue?

The King of Donghai continued: "Ask Runan to provide military rations to Yingchuan."

When everyone thought about it, it was really okay. Runan was short of people now, and Yingchuan was short of food. It was just right.

So there was no objection.

Fu Zhi felt his forehead twitching when he heard this, but thinking of Gou Xi who was now outside Luoyang and Jingzhao County who had taken over more than half of the army, he did not object to this suggestion. He just said: "Your Majesty, the Huns are retreating south. They must be cleaned up, if we don’t drive them out of the south of the Yangtze River, those east of Luoyang will be lost.”

King Donghai asked simply and rudely: "Do I still have soldiers and horses to send? Maybe you can ask His Majesty if you can send the imperial army out to quell the chaos?"

Fu Zhi said: "My lord, why don't you persuade the King of Chengdu and Governor Gou to jointly defend against the enemy?"

The King of East China Sea was under great pressure and irritable during this period, and he said directly: "Don't I want to? But I don't have a counselor who can speak an inch. Why don't Fu Zhongshu go on my behalf?"

Fu Zhi was silent for a moment and then nodded in agreement, expressing his willingness to meet Gou Xi.

King Donghai didn't think he would succeed and sneered and let him go.

Seeing that they had finished discussing the matter, Zhao Zhongyu said, "The magistrate of Xiping died in the city. They should send a new magistrate to them. Does the prince have a suitable candidate?"

The King of Donghai is short of people now. Why would he send people to a small county like Xiping that is surrounded by the Huns?

It's not an important issue, so he waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "My dear friends, please take care of it."

Everyone else knew that Xiping was the hometown of Zhao Zhongyu, so they were happy to give him a favor and asked, "Does Shangshu Zhao have anyone to recommend?"

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 was selected as a mid-level judge in his early years. Then he is more than enough to serve as a county magistrate. Why only be appointed a county magistrate?"

Zhao Zhongyu said: "He has no experience. At present, he only has the ability to be a county magistrate."

But after he became the county magistrate, who else would dare to go to Xiping and become the county magistrate?

Not to mention that the Zhao family is a famous family in Xiping, but Zhao Ming's rank is that he is middle-grade. So to be his county magistrate, he must be middle-grade or top-grade, right?

But regardless of whether they are middle-grade or high-grade, who will go to a small Xiping County to be the county magistrate, and may be subject to the control of the local gentry?

Everyone thinks that the Zhao family is too pretentious. She is directly the county magistrate. Who can show her modesty?

However, everyone still agreed after complimenting him in a dignified manner. Ji Yuan's appointment as chief secretary was just a matter of passing on, and few people noticed.

The person who noticed it was named Fu Zhi.

It's strange enough that Zhao Ming becomes the county magistrate, but Ji Yuan actually runs to be the chief registrar. Who will the vacant county magistrate be given to?

Or for whom?

Fu Zhi felt that he had not contacted his grandson for a long time, and it was time to send him a letter to say hello.

Zhao Zhongyu returned home and told Zhao Ji, "Write a letter to Zinian, saying that the task he asked has been completed, and the official documents from the court will arrive in Xiping soon."

Zhao Ji responded, but he was also puzzled, "Father, why doesn't Zinian directly become the county magistrate, but instead becomes the county magistrate?"

How did he know?

Zhao Zhongyu said: "You can write to him and ask him."

Zhao Ji didn't want to ask, as he seemed to have a low IQ.

Zhao Zhongyu rubbed his forehead tiredly, was silent for a while and said: "Tell Zinian that the imperial court has no troops to assist Runan now, and ask him to be careful. If that doesn't work, he can lead his tribe north to avoid the war for the time being. "

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

"There is news that Liu Yuan is going to the north to proclaim himself emperor. If he can capture Yuzhou at this time, it will be a prestige in the world."

Zhao Ji was puzzled: "Why didn't the prince send troops to drive away the Huns?"

"The prince did not expect that the Xiongnu army would go south when they retreated. He first sent troops to conquer Chang'an. Now Jingzhao County has recovered more than half of it. We can't let all the previous efforts be wasted." Zhao Zhongyu sighed: "We can only see if Fu Zhi can say Gou. I'm scared."

As long as Gou Xi retreats, the King of Donghai can squeeze out some manpower to support Yuzhou.

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

His eyes fell on the letter on the desk. Ji Yuan started to attack Zhao Ming. Did they conquer Ji Yuan?

With Ji Yuan here, there is some chance of winning, right?

Although the Xiongnu soldiers were raging in Yuzhou, the imperial court's communications were not intercepted, and Zhao Hanzhang quickly received the official document.

That's right, the official documents were sent directly to the county government, so Zhao Hanzhang received them.

The soldier who came to deliver the official document was surprised. He did not expect that the person in charge of the county government seemed to be a girl. He looked around and asked, "Where is Zhao Ming?"

Zhao Hanzhang said softly: "Uncle has gone back to Wubao. He didn't know that the envoy would deliver the official document. I will send someone to ask uncle to come back."

The soldier had no doubts and asked: "How long will it take? I have to go back to recover."

"Soon, our Zhao family will be not far from the county seat." The soldiers thought that Zhao Hanzhang was a member of Zhao Ming's family. He probably took care of the backyard, but he came to the front yard for some reason.

Zhao Hanzhang stood up and left, asking Qiu Wu to entertain the people, "Watch closely, don't let him wander around, and don't let him hear things he shouldn't."

Qiu Wu bowed and said, "Yes."

Zhao Hanzhang asked someone to go to Wubao to invite Zhao Ming, while she returned to the study to continue handling official duties.

Zhao Ming rushed over quickly. After receiving the official document, he wrote a receipt to him. He handed the official document to Zhao Hanzhang and patted his butt before leaving. When he reached the door, he remembered something and turned around and said, "Ji Yuan...he is still there." Going 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."

Understand, she just wants to ensure that the county magistrate and the chief registrar are hers so that she can control Xiping.

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

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

Not only did she have to go back to Wubao, she also had to go back to Shangcai. I wonder if Magistrate Chai of Shangcai County could sleep during this time?
