"Judge Qianzhou?" Mrs. Han's voice sounded unusually shrill in the hall.

This is not joy, but shock and anger.

"Why Qianzhou? Why Qianzhou?" Mrs. Han's eyebrows were firm, she stared at Xiao Yu who looked dejected, and said sternly: "Is this how the official family repays our Xiao family? Not sure

I'm still fighting for the imperial court at the border. It's you. Since you became the third envoy, have you ever slept peacefully? This year has been full of wars. If it weren't for you, would your finances be so comfortable?"

Xiao Yu got the news from Luo Song and Chen Gui.

After these two people came out of the palace, they sent people to inform Xiao Yu of Xiao Cheng's whereabouts.

"Luo Fengchen said that Ding'er now holds military power in the northwest and has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. The key is the Xiangfan army. They only listen to Ding'er's words. The officials are already a little taboo." Xiao Yu was a little sad:

"Cheng'er's talent is obvious to all, but it is precisely because he is so outstanding that the officials are worried."

"Why is he worried?" Madam Han asked angrily.

"Madam, think about it, the official family needs Ding'er to guard the border for him. At least that's what the official family must think now. But now Cheng'er is so outstanding. Once Cheng'er is given a stage, I'm afraid Cheng'er will become a big star.

Let's shine. In the next ten or twenty years, maybe Cheng'er will be able to enter the center and enter the two houses. By then, Ding'er will hold great power in the frontier and Cheng'er will echo it in the center. Who can control the Xiao family?

"Xiao Yu spread his hands and said, "The official chose Ding'er and banished Cheng'er for this reason. He threw Cheng'er to Qianzhou just to make Cheng'er unable to make meritorious deeds again."

Hearing what Xiao Yu said, Madam Han was stunned.

Is it possible that Xiao Ding should be asked to give up his future to fulfill Xiao Cheng?

Mrs. Han couldn't say this, and it was absolutely impossible.

Although she regarded Xiao Cheng as her biological son, Xiao Ding was his real son!

She fell down on the chair, and after a long while she said: "Official, we are no longer qualified to serve as the general judge of Qianzhou. It is always okay for us to resign and not work, right?"

Xiao Yu said in a muffled voice: "Cheng'er has great ambitions. If he resigns this time and does not pursue an official career, he will no longer have a chance with him. With his talent, how can he be willing to do so!"

"But what can you do by going to that place in Qianzhou? If you do anything wrong, your life will be in danger!" Mrs. Han shed tears and choked up: "In recent years, not many people have died in those places.

?"

"Let Chenger decide this matter by himself!" Xiao Yu stood up and said: "If he doesn't want to go, then resign. It's not like the Xiao family can't afford to support him? Whatever he wants to do in the future, he can

What are you doing!"

"It's just that if this happens, Cheng'er's marriage will have a lot of twists and turns again!" Madam Han sighed: "Originally, we were the ones who picked someone else, but now, I'm afraid they are the ones who pick us."

Xiao Yu snorted: "Don't we know who Cheng'er is? If you are discerning, you will naturally not dislike him. If you dislike him because of this, then there is no need for us to be in-laws with such a person."

After Xiao Cheng returned home with a red face, he was immediately called to Xiao Yu's study by Xu Wuyan.

Since the results were released, Xiao Cheng rarely came home on time. Most of his time was spent at various banquets.

These gatherings are basically organized by thoughtful people for the newly admitted Jinshi to get to know each other and connect with each other. On top of these banquets, there are many people who have passed the mid-term examination in the early years and are now officials, as well as those who have not passed the mid-term examination for many years and are now in Beijing.

People who have become a staff members and have a lot of energy will also participate in it.

Xiao Cheng does not reject such gatherings.

Being an official is actually a process of being a human being.

Don't dream about what you can accomplish by yourself. Anything requires the cooperation of many people before it can be completed well. This is true even for ordinary things, let alone Xiao Cheng.

What you want to change is a major issue related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

One more friend means one more path.

Regardless of whether you can find like-minded people, once you get to know each other, it will definitely be easier when you want to do something in the future.

Moreover, these people are indeed a very smart group of people in this empire.

If nothing else happens, in a few decades, one or a few of these people will be at the top of this empire.

Therefore, Xiao Cheng is still very enthusiastic about interacting with them.

"Go to Qianzhou and serve as a judge?" Xiao Cheng leaned forward, his eyes widened, and the smell of wine coming out of his mouth made Xiao Yu lean back involuntarily.

This kid is really a little bit arrogant these days.

However, a seventeen-year-old Jinshi is something to be proud of at any time. Just like these days, when I go to court or in the public hall every day, whoever meets me will not come to congratulate me or praise me.

?

This kid probably thinks he has a bright future, right?

And the reality he needs to face now may be a heavy blow to him.

Xiao Yu was thinking about how to comfort his second son.

Xiao Cheng sat back down again with a bang, and actually looked up to the sky and burst into laughter. He burst into tears and covered his stomach with laughter.

Xiao Yu and Xu Wuyan looked at Xiao Cheng dumbfounded.

"Erlang, what's wrong with you?" Xu Wuyan stepped forward, grabbed Xiao Cheng's arms and shook them. He was a little worried that Xiao Cheng couldn't stand the stimulation and went crazy.

Xiao Cheng was shaken so much that he coughed and waved his hands repeatedly: "Grandpa Xu, let go, let go, I'm fine!"

"Is everything okay?" Xiao Yu also came over.

"It's okay!" Xiao Cheng nodded sternly: "Sir, this time I get the position of the sixth-grade general judge of Qianzhou. I should be the only one, right?"

"Of course, even the top scholar Kang Qian only got a seventh-grade Hanlin editor!" Xiao Yu said.

"Tsk, tsk, I am a thirty-ranked Jinshi, but I have to be granted the post of general magistrate of the sixth rank. What is the court going to say? If I don't say anything, I'm afraid the outside world will think that you have done something wrong.

The back door!" Xiao Cheng said with a smile.

Xiao Yu snorted coldly: "Anyone with a discerning eye will know at a glance that this is not a reward but a punishment! Ding'er is not easy to move, and I am not easy to move either, so I have no choice but to vent my anger on you."

Xiao Cheng suppressed his smile: "Yes, sir, the official family will never forget that the Xiao family is the supporter of His Highness King Jing. This time Cui Ang suddenly launched an attack against His Highness King Jing, and the official family followed suit.

To completely defeat His Highness King Jing, hehe, does he really believe that His Highness King Jing will rebel?"

"Whether the officials believe it or not, it doesn't matter at all. The key is that His Highness King Jing has threatened the officials." Xiao Yu shook his head and said: "But the officials are not confused. They just locked up His Highness King Jing in the mansion. In the end,

One day when the government has to hand over power, His Highness King Jing will still be the first choice."

"Sir, do you really think so?" Xiao Cheng said.

"Is not it?"

"What kind of achievements can a prince who has been locked up and pondered over live like this for a few years do? Does he still have supporters and followers? Can he still influence the world's situation?" Xiao Cheng said: "

Judging from the appearance of our official family, it’s no problem to continue working for ten years. If His Highness King Jing is imprisoned like this for ten years, don’t you think King Jing will have any hope?”

"How could it take so long? After a while, the official's anger subsides, and King Jing will naturally be released!"

"Father, you are too naive!" Xiao Cheng sneered: "Will the King of Chu give in? Will Cui Ang, who is about to return to the court, give in? Especially Cui Ang, if King Jing turns over, he is afraid of dying without a burial.

land."

"After Cui Ang negotiated with the Liao people this time, I'm afraid there will be no place for him to stay when he returns to the court!" Xiao Yu said.

"No!" Xiao Cheng said: "The official family will definitely protect him. Only by protecting Cui Ang can the official family's face be saved. Cui Ang will still be a Privy Councilor. You, be prepared for this!

"

"Is this really so? This is just your guess, right? Luo Song, Chen Gui and the others all think that once Cui Ang comes back, he will definitely take the blame and resign!" Xiao Yu said: "What Cui Ang signed this time must be an alliance under the city. As long as there is a point of honor,

They will all retire."

"When Cui Ang did something like framed King Jing, he was already shameless!" Xiao Cheng said. "In the future, he will only be more shameless and will have no lower limit in what he does. Sir, you must be careful in the future.

.”

"If such a person returns to Bianliang, even if he is protected by officials, he will be unable to move even an inch." Xiao Yu said disdainfully: "Everyone's spit will be enough to drown him."

"The most humble person is invincible!" Xiao Cheng disagreed with his father's opinion: "After this person comes back, he will definitely do some crazier things."

"Let's not talk about these things. Since you are willing to go, then you can tell your mother yourself." Xiao Yu waved his hand and said: "Also, there is no need to tell your mother these things. I will tell her, and you will

So I want to go to Qianzhou because of your eldest brother. If she knows that there are officials here who hate me, she will be worried again."

"Son, I understand!" Xiao Cheng stood up and bowed: "Sir, it's been a hard day, so you should rest early!"

Walking out of the study, Xiao Cheng could no longer hold back the smile on his face. When he turned the corner, he stopped, turned to look at Xu Wuyan who was following behind him, and said, "Grandpa Xu, tell me, is this

I was about to take a nap when someone brought me a pillow?"

"Erlang, although you have been making plans in the south, the focus is still on the prosperous areas such as Suyanghang and Suyanghang. Although people have been sent to Kuizhou Road, it has only been a few months and the situation has not been opened up at all." Xu Wu

He said: "What's more important is that Qianzhou is really not a kind place. He governs Jisuozhou well, and there is no good person in it."

"Grandpa Xu, do you think I am a kind person?" Xiao Cheng chuckled: "If you think so, the coffin board of the Weiming clan in Hengshan will definitely not be able to hold it down."

Xu Wuyan couldn't help but laugh.

"Now that Erlang has decided, what do I need to prepare for you?"

"We'll discuss it with Grandpa Xu later." Xiao Cheng said: "Jisuozhou, what a wonderful place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away! If you want to fix anything, there are a lot of people who take the blame, and others regard it as a terrible way.

But I couldn’t ask for it! And the current situation in Bianliang, and even Hebei, will be a mess. If we stay in this hot oil pan, everyone will have to go down to the oil pan to fry. No

People are spared. Veterans are naturally able to handle it with ease, but as for these newcomers, I am afraid that many of them will definitely be unlucky because of their inexperience. When I come back in a few years, many of them may be in a good position now.

The infinite sages have fallen into the dust."
