Chapter 49 Pang De resigns
"promise!"
Zhao Xu and others couldn't help but responded quickly when they heard this.
"By the way, county magistrate, have you ever been abnormal in your inspection of the surrounding villages?"
"These days, the chaos in Shandong has caused panic among the county, which has caused many thieves in the surrounding villages to take the opportunity to cause chaos. Moreover, some Qiang people also want to take the opportunity to cause chaos."
As he said that, Zhao Xu could not help but tell the county magistrate Zhang Mian carefully about the incident about Liangxi gathering.
"Okay, County Magistrate, you did a good job of hitting just now, but we still have to keep an eye on Liangxiju. There are more than 2,000 Qiang people in Xiangwu, of which there are no less than 500 young and strong people who can take up weapons to fight.
If these people unite to cause trouble, it will undoubtedly be a difficult problem. So county magistrate, you must send more county soldiers and keep an eye on them."
"promise!"
Zhao Xu received the order when he heard the sound.
Then everyone discussed this again. After the county magistrate Zhang Mian instructed that even at this time, the people's farming and sericulture should not be delayed. The extraordinary meeting could not be concluded.
...
"Hey, Ah Xu, are you back?"
"Yeah, Ade. You, aren't you a military officer in the county? Why..."
When he returned to his residence and looked at Pang De who suddenly appeared in the yard, Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel confused.
"Haha, it's nothing, I just resigned from office and stopped doing it."
Although he had a very strong sense of accomplishment, after resigning from office, Pang De said lightly like a lie, and then continued to play with Zhao Han and the others.
"Wait, resign. You did a good job, why did you suddenly resign?"
He took the wine pot used to throw the arrow aside, and Zhao Xu, as a friend, couldn't help but ask him about Pang De's coming.
"A Xu, you know that not long ago, the governor Liang Gong was summoned to Beijing as the Minister of State. Now, the one who took over Liang Gong's position is the Zuochang of Pingyin. Humph, the eunuch Zuoqiu."
Pang De seemed very disdainful, but Zhao Xu couldn't help but frown slightly at this.
The eunuch he mentioned was Zuo Que, the Central Constant Attendant during the reign of Emperor Huan, and was once one of the famous five lords of authority during the reign of Emperor Huan. During the reign of Emperor Huan, Zuo Que's power and status were no different from the current ten regular Attendant Attendant.
During his most prominent period, not only was he named the Hou of Shangcai County, but his brothers were also named the Hou of Nanxiang. Although he later committed suicide in fear of crimes in the struggle with a noble family, because he had worked with the famous Dachang Qiu Cao Teng, he had a passion for incense.
Therefore, after his death, the title of Nanxiang Hou was also preserved.
In addition, his family later actively transformed, and the Pingyin Zuo clan miraculously did not decline. At this time, Zuo Chang, the governor of Liangzhou, was the most prominent person in the Pingyin Zuo clan at this time.
"After all, he was a descendant of the eunuch, who was greedy and rich. He was really a villain. I don't know why the court allowed this person to be the governor of Liangzhou!"
In front of friends, Ponde shouted loudly without any concealment at all.
Seeing this, Zhao Xu even didn't want to know that Pang De's resignation was determined to be the newly appointed governor Zuo Chang.
Zhao Xu has heard of some of this.
The current financial situation of the court has always been ineffective, but today Zi is a person who likes extravagant. Since he ascended the throne, he has done a lot of work to build a large-scale construction. In order to raise money for today Zi, the Ten Constables have even begun to sell some official positions clearly marked prices in the West Garden of the Palace.
Zuo Chang was not known for his talent and knowledge. The reason why he was able to take the position of governor of Liangzhou was that he had to leave the Ten Changshi.
The governor of Yizhou, I think Zuo Chang must have spent a lot of money for this position. Now that he has come to Liangzhou and has great power, how can he not get some capital back for himself?
But Pang De was a young and energetic person. Pang De naturally dissatisfied with a boss like Zuo Chang.
‘Now I resigned from my post early, at least to avoid conflicts with people like Zuochang in the future. It would be a good thing to say.’
Thinking of this in his heart, when he saw Pang De who was quite unhappy, Zhao Xu couldn't help but pat his shoulder and comforted him: "If it's gold, there will always be a time to shine, and wait for two years. When Zuo Chang's term of office ends, he believes that with Ade, you will always have the day of recovery."
"Ha, I think so too. Come on, let's continue drinking."
He picked up the wine in the glass and drank it all. Pang De sighed and turned to Zhao Xu, but couldn't help but say, "A Xu, tell the truth. I believe you also know that the court has failed repeatedly in suppressing the Yellow Turbans in Shandong.
You say whether it is Zhu Jun, the Right General of the Central Army, or Zhao Qian, the prefect of Runan. One of them is a famous general in my Han Dynasty; the other is a famous family in Shu, and the grandson of Zhao Jie, the Grand Marshal of the Taiwei.
Both of them are not incompetent, and they are praised very much on weekdays. But these two people were defeated one after another by the Yellow Turban Army. Could it be that Liu's destiny is really over?"
“…”
Suddenly, when Zhao Xu heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Ade, don't speak nonsense!"
The forced resignation was probably the first setback that Pang De suffered when he was so old that he was a little confused.
"The Shandong Yellow Turban now seems arrogant and unstoppable. But in the final analysis, it is just because the Yellow Turban suddenly caught the unprepared court off guard.
Once the court is ready, all localities should come over. Not to mention the millions of troops in the court, the uniting of powerful families from all over Shandong alone is enough to wipe out this group of Yellow Turbans who only know how to fight each other."
"The Yellow Turban Thief seems to be powerful at this time, but in fact it has stood opposite to the world. I believe that it only takes one year at most, and the three brothers Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao will definitely be awarded the title one after another!"
"One year?"
Suddenly hearing Zhao Xu's words, Pang De looked up at Zhao Xu, raised his eyebrows, but a strange look appeared on his face.
"A Xu, do you know? Someone else has said it to me."
"Oh, who?"
"I, the chief secretary of Hanyang County, and the chief secretary of the county, are the chief secretary of the county."
"Is that so? Haha, I didn't expect that the Gai Changshi would be similar to what I saw this time."
Gai Xun was also a native of Liangzhou. He was born in Dunhuang County, Liangzhou. His family was a family of officials who were a major Dunhuang clan and a serious family.
Although this person was not famous in later generations because his literary works were not involved in many people, he is now a household name in Liangzhou.
In Zhao Xu's opinion, this is a truly talented Han official. In terms of prestige, Zhao Xu was really unable to compare with one Gai Xun at this time.
"That was more than a month ago when the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Shandong just broke out."
Pang De couldn't help but tell the story of Zhao Xu, "At that time, Gai Changshi said: "The Shandong Yellow Turban seems to be powerful at this time, but it must not last long. Within a year, there will be a certain change."
