Kuai Yue came in and was a little surprised. The king summoned him. Why are there two children here?
He also knew these two children, Deng Ai, the king's adopted son, and Zhou Yuan, the adopted son of Ma Liang, the Minister of Household Affairs.
"Sit down first." Liu Cong nodded towards Kuai Yue and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After Kuai Yue sat down, Liu Cong continued, "Yidu, Gu's adopted son Deng Ai is almost an adult. You see if there are any official positions that are lacking recently, let him take the job first."
Almost without thinking, Kuai Yue raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, didn't Li Yan from Guizhou get transferred back? Why don't you let Mr. Deng go to Guizhou to be the governor first?"
Liu Cong laughed and said, "He is only fifteen years old. It is not appropriate to be a governor."
A fifteen-year-old boy was appointed as a governor. Although Deng Ai also had that talent, others would not see it that way. They would only think it was nepotism.
Kuai Yue smiled and complimented, "When the king took charge of Jingchu and defeated Cao's army, wasn't he only seventeen years old?"
"If the governor is not good enough, how about the governor of a county?"
Liu Cong still shook his head and objected, "It's inappropriate."
"Then I can only become a county magistrate."
Liu Cong nodded and said, "The county magistrate is good, just right. Is there any vacancy?" Reading La

"There is a vacancy for the Taojiang County Magistrate in Changsha County, and I was originally planning to choose someone to go there. Now that the king has spoken, it is just right for Mr. Deng to go."
Liu Cong frowned and said, "Taojiang? Why does this name seem familiar to me?"
Deng Ai explained, "Zhou Yuan's hometown, Zhoujia Village, is under the jurisdiction of Taojiang."
Liu Cong understood, "No wonder, why does Gu feel that this place is so familiar?"
Liu Cong said with a smile and said, "What a coincidence. You and Zhou Yuan are brothers. If you can manage his hometown well, you will live up to your friendship."
Kuai Yue said with a smile, "Taojiang County is located in the lower reaches of Zishui, with a population of nearly 10,000. If it is managed properly, there will be prosperity in two or three years. I think it will not be difficult to manage Taojiang well with Master Deng's talents."
"Hahaha, let's borrow the good words from Yidu, Ai'er, why don't you thank Mr. Yidu?"
After hearing this, Deng Ai bowed to Kuai Yue and said, "Thank you, sir."
Kuai Yue nodded and said to Liu Cong, "Your Majesty, if nothing happens, I will leave first."
"It's time to work hard."

After Kuai Yue left, Liu Cong looked at Deng Ai and said, "Do you know why I only gave you the county magistrate?"
Deng Ai thought for a while and replied seriously, "Because I am your adopted son. It is easy to attract criticism if I become a high official at the beginning."
Liu Cong smiled happily and said, "That's right, but don't underestimate the county magistrate. Matters in a county are not that easy to handle. If you can manage Taojiang well, I can use this as an excuse and continue to use him in important positions."
you."
"My child understands."
"I'll let you find a good day to crown you later. It will take at least two or three years for you to go away. I'm afraid it will be a little too late to crown you when you come back."
"Thank you father."
Among ancient aristocrats, men did not really wait until they were twenty before being crowned. It was common for men to do so in advance.
"When we go to Taojiang this time, let's take Zhou Yuan back with us. He hasn't been home for several years. It's time to let him go back and have a look."
"Just spend these days with your mother. When you leave in a few days, half of her heart will fly away with you."
After all, he is a young man who always wants to travel far and wide. Regarding Liu Cong's previous sentence, Deng Ai was very happy. He was happy for Zhou Yuan and also happy because Zhou Yuan could travel with him.

As for Liu Cong's last sentence, Deng Ai seemed a little disapproving. His mother's life is very good now. Besides, she still has a younger brother accompanying her.
If his younger brother wants to be successful in the future, he must first do things well and make contributions. Only in this way can his younger brother have more say and be more valued by Liu Cong.
Liu Cong seemed to have understood what Deng Ai was thinking. He curled his lips and said, "The south is not as good as Xiangyang. Even if you become a county magistrate, you have to be careful in everything. Do you understand?"
"promise."
"After you go, write to your mother often and don't worry her."
"promise."
"Okay, step back and talk to your mother so that she can be mentally prepared."
"promise."
After Deng Ai withdrew, Liu Cong smiled helplessly and said, "Young man, you always want to fly high."
In Deng Ai's expression just now, there was almost no nostalgia for the Deng family, and his expression was full of longing for the future.

A man lives between heaven and earth, and for talented people, everyone wants to be high in the temple, make contributions, and leave a name in history. Deng Ai is no exception.
Chapter 339 Taojiang County Magistrate [2/3 "The child pays homage to his mother."
When Deng Ai arrived, Mrs. Deng was sitting in the courtyard, and several maids were playing with Liu Nie on the swing in the distance.
"Get up quickly, the ground is cold."
Looking at this son, Mrs. Deng was a little relieved. Even if Liu Cong hadn't discovered it, Deng Ai had worked hard enough and worked hard enough. With this talent and perseverance, he would always be able to stand out one day.
"Ai'er, come and sit down. There are candied fruits on the table. Whatever you want to eat, mother will ask the cook to make it for you."
Deng Ai stood up and sat next to Deng. He did not pick up the candied fruit, but said first, "Mother, my father asked me to be the magistrate of Taojiang County. My son will leave for the post soon, so I came here to say goodbye to my mother."
"Magistrate Taojiang? Where is Taojiang?"
"In Changsha County, Guizhou."
Hearing this, Deng frowned and said, "Changsha County, Guizhou? Is it that far away?"

Although Deng had little knowledge, she also knew where Changsha was in Guizhou. No mother could bear to have her child far away from her. She lived deep in the harem and could not leave Xiangyang. After Deng Ai took office, it was impossible for him to come back to see him again.
Seeing the reluctance on Mrs. Deng's face, Deng Ai finally understood why Liu Cong had warned him so much, "Mother, my child is just going to be an official, but it's not like he won't come back? Don't worry, my child will go to Taojiang often.
Written to you."
But Deng said reluctantly, "Guizhou is too far away. How about I go and beg the king to let you stay in Xiangyang? Even if you are a small official, you can go to such a remote place."
Deng Ai smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, my son has grown up now, and it's time to go out and make a living. Don't worry, mother, I can take care of myself."
With that said, Deng Ai pointed to Liu Nie who was playing not far away, "Mother, if my brother wants to be taken seriously by the king in the future, he will need foreign aid. Only if I make contributions as soon as possible can I help Nie's brother as soon as possible."
These words touched Deng's heart. Her only support now was Deng Ai and Liu Nie. Liu Cong had also boasted in front of her that he would divide his sons into feudal states in the future.
Mrs. Deng suddenly felt a little lucky that she still had a son, Deng Ai, who could be relied upon by Liu Nie. However, Mrs. Fan only had the eldest son Liu Yuan, but she had nothing to rely on.
Mrs. Deng smiled and said, "Let's have dinner here today. You go and play with your brother for a while. Mother will go get you some clothes for washing."
"How far is the child from the mother."
After Deng Ai thanked him, he went to Liu Nie, and Liu Nie also waved his little hand and called Ai Ge. It seemed that the relationship between the two brothers was already very deep.
