Chapter 8 The Governor of Yunzhou

"By the decree of the prince, the eldest prince Zhao Jin was specially appointed as the governor of Yunzhou. He should have taken office immediately. Since the New Year is approaching, he has given permission to start the journey after the Lantern Festival."

Although Zhao Jin felt a little uncomfortable, he still knelt down to receive the order.

This will take over the decree of King Liang. Of course, although the prince can also deliver the decree, it is different from the imperial decree. The decree is yellowish, not bright yellow, and the python pattern is also used on it.

In addition, there are edicts and dental plaques, which are the so-called letters of appointment and symbols of official status.

Zhao Jin was a little surprised. He didn't believe that King Liang couldn't see that he was using a bitter trick, and he actually appointed himself the governor of Yunzhou County?

For a while, Zhao Jin didn't know whether King Liang valued him again or just compensated him.

"Teacher, I wonder where Yunzhou is?" Zhao Jin asked after thinking for a moment.

The original person has never been out, and with his status, he has no way to contact these things. Naturally, he doesn't know where Yunzhou is.

"Zhaoyun border, bordering Beili."

Zhao Jin fell silent.

This place is somewhat similar to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties in history. It is not unified and has many countries, but it does not have the endless fighting like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Zhaoyun, the country where he is located, borders Beili. Both countries are powerful countries. However, unlike Lilong, which has always been a good friend, Zhaoyun and Beili can be said to be old enemies.

The reason why there is no war is simply because the two countries are about the same strength. Once a war breaks out, no one will be able to gain any favors, and others may even take advantage of them.

Even so, there has never been less friction at the border. Going to Yunzhou to be a county guard is no different from being assigned to a military assignment.

As if to confirm Zhao Jin's conjecture, Ning Ce said: "Yunzhou changes governors very frequently. Does the eldest prince know why?"

"Because it's close to the border." Zhao Jin raised his eyes and answered directly.

Ning Ce smiled slightly, "Yes, Beili often invades Yunzhou, and most of the Yunzhou county guards died in office."

Zhao Jin: "..."

"What did the teacher want to say?" Zhao Jin spoke sharply, directly picking off the edge in Ning Ce's words.

"I just want to remind the eldest prince to prevent him from having unrealistic ideas."

Zhao Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, unrealistic thoughts?

If it was the original person, maybe there would be.

Having been bullied all the year round, and once hit by a big pie, it is inevitable to have expectations for the King of Liang.

But Zhao Jin was not the original person, and he could see clearly that even if Ning Ce didn't remind him, Zhao Jin would not have any expectations for Prince Liang.

From the moment he saw the situation in the side hall, Zhao Jin understood that Prince Liang was indifferent at heart.

Does he really not know about the situation in the side hall?

"Teacher, don't worry, the students can carry it clearly." Zhao Jin didn't react much, just bowed slightly.

Ning Ce was a little surprised. He looked Zhao Jin up and down and asked, "Aren't you afraid?"

Zhao Jin smiled openly, "What's so scary?"

It's not just the invasion of foreign enemies. When he was a special mercenary, he was just trying to find his way out of the battlefield. Now it's just a battlefield in the cold weapon age.

If he was afraid of all this, he wouldn't be Zhao Jin.

Ning Ce became somewhat interested, like a former student taking exams, and asked Zhao Jin several questions directly.

"What will happen if Beili sends troops to harass while Yunzhou is in office?"

"Lead the troops to meet the enemy."

"Can't beat it?"

Zhao Jin asked back: "How many times has Yunzhou suffered from Beili's invasion?"

"Two or three times a year." Ning Ce was a little confused.

Zhao Jin smiled and said, "But now Yunzhou is still a county of Zhaoyun. Although there is a reason why Beili is not determined to attack Yunzhou, it also shows that Yunzhou has a certain ability to resist."

"Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to survive Beili's troops."

Ning Ce had nothing to say.

"What will happen if officials from all over Yunzhou do not cooperate and prevent you from governing Yunzhou?"

"Soldier first, courtesy second."

After hearing this answer, Ning Ce's eyes darkened slightly, but Zhao Jin did not give in.

What Ning Ce accepted was the Confucian approach, which focused on convincing people with reason. No matter how bad it was, he would always be polite before fighting.

Zhao Jin is not like that. He fights first and then treats him politely. He first gives a shock and then treats him politely. This is more efficient. When working together in the future, the other party will also feel that he is in a lower position.

Ning Ce asked again, "The eldest prince should know his own situation. Do you have any ideas?"

Zhao Jin didn't believe Ning Ce. What he said before was not important, so it didn't matter.

Therefore, Zhao Jin just said in a solemn voice: "There is no perfect path for everyone, don't bully young people into poverty!"

As soon as these words came out, Ning Ce's eyes lit up.

As soon as he met Zhao Jin, he felt that he had changed. He had lost his original timidity and cowardice, and actually looked a bit brighter.

“It’s a good idea not to bully young people into poverty!”

Ning Ce stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly: "The prince ordered me to go to Yunzhou to assist the prince and serve as the county magistrate of Yunzhou."

Zhao Jin was stunned for a moment, then he remembered something and understood clearly.

Thoughts were running through his mind, but they didn't show on his face. Zhao Jin bowed and said, "If this is the case, I will trouble the teacher in the future."

Ning Ce waved his hand, "Although he took office after the Lantern Festival, the prince doesn't know much about the situation in Yunzhou."

"We still need to discuss some areas carefully and make preparations."

"Excuse me, teacher." No matter what Ning Ce is thinking now, the two of them are just grasshoppers in the same boat, if Ning Ce still wants a bright future.

Zhao Jin directly invited Ning Ce into his room. There was no place to receive guests in the side hall, so he had to make do with the tables and chairs in the room.

Even the tables and chairs were prepared by the palace servants when they were repairing them just now.

By the time Zhao Jin sent Ning Ce away, it was already dark.

As soon as Zhao Jin turned around, he saw Mrs. Ning.

"Mother?" Zhao Jin walked over quickly, "Are you up?"

"Well, I heard that Academician Ning just came to convey the decree? But what does your father have to say?"

Zhao Jin was silent for a moment and said truthfully: "My father ordered me to take office as the governor of Yunzhou after the Lantern Festival."

"Yunzhou County Sheriff?" Mrs. Ning murmured to herself, "Then, isn't that the border?"

She used to be educated at home, but when she was favored later, King Liang never avoided her on some insignificant government affairs, so Mrs. Ning had heard about where Yunzhou was.

"Son! Mom, go and ask your father to take back his life." Mrs. Ning was a little anxious and was about to walk out.

Zhao Jin quickly stopped her, "Mom! Mom, calm down first."

"How can this make me calm down? Then Yunzhou, where is the place for people to stay?"

"Mom, even if you go, my father will not agree."

Of course Mrs. Ning knows this, but no matter how small the possibility is, she will try it!

The originally weak woman became stubborn and insisted on going to the King of Liang.

Zhao Jin did not dare to use force, so he had to use clever force to stop Mrs. Ning, "Mom, no matter how bad Yunzhou is, it is still an opportunity."

Zhao Jin's voice was very soft and low, and only Mrs. Ning could hear it, but it made Mrs. Ning stop struggling.
