Chapter 493 Could it be that he took a fancy to Wu Jun's position?
Chapter 493
After Shen Faxing was captured, Wu County naturally had to be ruled by no one, but Jiang Yuanchao failed to take over Shen Faxing's responsibility.
Yang Qian asked Qin Qiong to stay here and temporarily preside over the government affairs of Wu County while monitoring the Shen clan members. As for Jiang Yuanchao, he continued to serve as his magistrate of Wu County.
Only this time, Qin Qiong, the school inspector, was mainly responsible for managing the military and monitoring the aristocratic families in Wu County.
The affairs of governance fell into the hands of Jiang Yuanchao.
"Zijing, if you ask me to manage the army and lead the army in battle, Qin can do it without frowning. But I am really worried about the person who is in charge of Wu County."
"What are you worried about? Wouldn't it be nice to become a prefect?" Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but muttered.
His face was full of envy. The prefect was already considered to be the pinnacle of the Sui Dynasty's ministers who guarded the land. If he went up further, he could only enter the court and wear the royal robe.
When Qin Qiong heard about this mission, her brows did not relax. At this moment, she no longer thought about dealing with Cheng Yaojin.
"It's not bad, but I really don't know anything about government affairs."
"Second Brother Qin, if you don't know much about government affairs, you can learn from it. With your intelligence, Second Brother Qin, and the support of Jiang Yuanchao and other Wu County officials, I believe you can control the situation."
"Actually, in Qin's opinion, I think Changsun Xiandi, or Fang and Du, are far more suitable for this position than Qin."
Changsun Wuji, who had been watching Yang Qian persuade him for a long time, couldn't help but say.
"But only Brother Qin, you are qualified to become the prefect of Wu County. Others, whether it is me, Fang Qiao or Du Ruhui, will not be recognized by the court."
"Chaoting, please wait..." Qin Qiong's eyes immediately stood up, staring blankly at Changsun Wuji, who was smiling but not smiling.
His eyes fell back on Yang Qian again.
"Yes, that's what I mean. As the governor of Wu County, I will try my best to fight for you. Of course, the chance of success will not be too high."
Changsun Wuji glanced at the room where there were only three of them, and his voice became deeper and deeper.
"But there is still a chance after all. If you really become the governor of Wu County, then Jiangdu County and Wu County will be able to join forces and help each other."
As soon as these words came out, Qin Qiong's heart suddenly brightened and she came to her senses. "In that case, how dare I disobey my order?"
"Second Brother Qin, there is no need to be like this. I, the deposed ambassador of the twelve counties of Jiangnan Province, will only be appointed temporarily, and I will not be able to serve for a long time."
"Next, when Jiangnan is stabilized and has been at peace for a long time, someone will definitely report to His Majesty and remove him from this position, or transfer Yang to another place."
"I have to prepare for a rainy day and find a place to stay in advance for you and the 80,000 Jiangdu troops."
Yang Qian stroked his brow. He was a high official, but the problem was that he had to be controlled by the court after all.
These 80,000 Jiangdu troops were an old foundation that I had finally pieced together.
Naturally, Yang Qian didn't want to lose his job, let alone if his position as the deposed ambassador of the twelve counties of Jiangnan Province was taken back by the emperor.
So, what to do with these 80,000 Jiangdu troops? This is a big problem.
What's more, the dragon boat has already been sent to Dongdu. If nothing unexpected happens next, Yang Guang will definitely go to Jiangnan again just like in history.
At that time, the governor of Jiangdu County will definitely not be me, not to mention that I, Yu Wenshu and others dislike each other.
The important thing is that the emperor is very likely to transfer himself to a different place to serve. He can take some of his troops with him, but after all, it is impossible for all of Jiangdu's 80,000 troops to leave with him.
After leaving, a shoulder is definitely needed to support these Jiangdu Army, and Qin Qiong, who has always been the leader of Jiangdu Army, is naturally the best choice.
Anyway, the soldiers of the twelve counties in the south of the Yangtze River have already been polished for several years and have become loyal Jiangdu troops.
When the time comes, he will be divided into twelve counties in Jiangnan, and he will still have minions staying in Jiangnan.
Now that he has decided to do something, although Yang Qian doesn't talk too much, his body is very honest.
Under the instigation and bewitchment of Changsun Wuji and other close confidants, he had already begun to follow the flow of the situation.
Now, the political layout has finally begun to take shape.

Lai Huer and Yu Shiji sat across from each other, with a letter in front of them.
This is a letter from Yang Qian and Yang Zijing from Jiangnan. The letter describes Shen Faxing in detail.
"What does Yang Zijing mean by this?" Lai Hu'er had already read the letter, but he didn't quite understand it.
"Does this kid not know that officials are not allowed to serve in their place of origin?"
"He was afraid that he didn't know, but he felt embarrassed to make the request, so he tested me like this."
"Could it be that he took a fancy to Wu Jun's position?" Lai Hu'er laughed. "It seems that this kid already knows how to manage connections."
Yu Shiji also nodded slightly and smiled. "That's exactly the reason. It's just that he is a newcomer to the officialdom after all and doesn't know what to do, so he simply puts the problem on me."
The meaningful smile of Yu Shiji in front of him seemed to be referring to his nephew, and his tone was very kind and gentle.
"His Majesty is going south this time. Yang Zijing is afraid that he will have to find another place to go after he picks him up. So, he must leave something for the people around him."

At the end of the spring of the twelfth year of Daye, Yang Guang, who was still staying in the eastern capital and was persuaded by officials but was unwilling to go to Daxing City in Guanzhong, received good news and bad news.
The good news is that the dragon boat has been completed and is on its way to Dongdu via the canal.
This made Yang Guang very happy and praised Yang Qian for being a smart, capable and courageous minister.
The bad news is of course that Shen Faxing, as the governor of Wu County, actually wrote off the weapons and armor staff in the treasury and hid them privately.
This news made the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, who had been happy for just a few days, furious.
In the end, Shen Faxing was executed, and all the relevant people were demoted to the side. The next step was to appoint the governor of Wu County.
At the beginning, a group of people jumped out and expressed their disdain for Shen Faxing. After that, they either recommended themselves or people close to them.
Many of those who were able to stand in the court and participate in the government were high-ranking officials. In fact, the governor of Wu County did not have a high official position compared to the court.
But the problem is that today's court is too dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be dismissed from office, and you may even be directly ordered to be executed by the angry Majesty.
Rather than staying in this court hall in fear like this, spending every day like this, it would be better to go somewhere and be a free and easy emperor.
What's more, nowadays, anyone can see that the Sui Dynasty has become a turbulent situation.
If you can have your own territory and manage your own power, if there is such a possibility, hey, princes, generals and ministers, would you rather have the seed?
Although Yang Guang almost left all political affairs to Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji and others, if it weren't for Yang Qian's suggestion, he might not have had the time to take care of this matter.
But now, the behavior of these officials made him feel angry again.
