Chapter 298 Help you sit in the position of governor
"It's different now. You see, the war in the northwest is tense, so the governor has been replaced by a first-level one.
The imperial court's original intention was to let the generals of the first-level and even the upper-level realms come down to concurrently serve as governors in order to deal with the current situation.
However, it was later boycotted by civil servants.
It is said that the imperial court looks down on civil servants. Although skill is important in fighting, intelligence is more important.
Later, he was given a break and was demoted to a lower level.
However, Xiao Senguo's skills are not good and he has not yet reached the third level.
Therefore, he has to win. Although Wan Hansong is in the second-level realm, he probably has not yet reached the second-level perfection, so there is not much hope." Jiang Xuandao.
…
After drinking a few cups of tea, the situation was resolved clearly. Tang Wen said goodbye and soon arrived at the Chief Secretary's Yamen. Since they were old acquaintances and Tang Wen was the deputy envoy of the regiment training, he entered the Yamen directly.
Wan Hansong was nowhere to be seen in the lobby. Tang Wen went straight to the second floor and didn't notice him. Later, when he went to the backyard, he found Wan Hansong sitting in front of a stone table with a distressed look on his face.
"Master Wan, why are you so dazed?" Tang Wen asked.
"Oh, it's Lord Tang, please sit down quickly." Wan Hansong saw it and stood up quickly.
Tang Wen walked over and sat opposite Wan Hansong.
"I think you don't look well. You probably haven't had a good rest recently." Tang Wen said.
"Why don't you rest? I haven't slept for three days and nights." Wan Hansong said angrily.
"Why don't you sleep?" Tang Wenming asked knowingly.
"Can you still sleep? The enemies are almost at the door.
Mr. Xiao is not here anymore, so I am now one of the top two.
By the way, your people probably can't be saved, so they all have to go to the front line." Wan Hansong said.
"I support Mr. Wan's intention, but Mr. Wan, this is an opportunity for you. I heard that Mr. Xiao will not come back." Tang Wen said.
"He won't come back, but it's not my turn either." Wan Hansong shook his head with a disappointed look on his face, and drank a bowl of tea in one gulp.
"Why can't it be your turn? As soon as the governor leaves, you, the second in command, will take over." Tang Wen said deliberately.
"What the hell!" Wan Hansong snorted.
"Lord Wan, I think you are a little presumptuous." Tang Wen said.
"Is it useful if I don't belittle myself? Skill is still skill.
I, Wan Hansong, am a man, and I, Wan Hansong, was the number one scholar at that time.
Martial arts are not weak either. Who doesn’t want to make achievements in his lifetime?
But I'm just a little bit close, just a little bit close." Wan Hansong was furious and slammed the table, making the tea bowl jump.
"Is it useful to talk about this? That was back then, but you slacked off later. You were able to get the number one scholar in the past, and you were the first person among all the candidates in Dachu. Why can't you get into the first grade now?" Tang Wendao.
"Damn it!" Wan Hansong slumped down on the chair, staring up at the ceiling with his eyes blankly, and said for a long time, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper and let the Lord down."
"I can help you step into the first rank." Tang Wen said.
"Impossible!" Wan Hansong shook his head.
"Why is it impossible?" Tang Wen asked closely.
"I am only at the late stage of the second level now, and I have not yet reached perfection.
Just give me ten more realm-breaking pills, and I can reach the second level of perfection at most.
Because this Linghai Province is the front line against the enemy, the imperial court's intention is that it must be in the first-class realm.
Moreover, this is already the minimum requirement." Wan Hansong was heartbroken.
"I can help you do it!" Tang Wen said.
"You...you...that's impossible..." Wan Hansong looked at Tang Wen blankly for a long time, then shook his head.
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's that it's impossible." Wan Hansong said.
"Coward! You don't even have the courage to fight." Tang Wen sneered.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you call me a coward in front of me?
What do you have? Can’t you just rely on a few taels of silver to hire people?
But can you hire a master? Are your hands not that good?
If you go to the battlefield this time, you should first think about how to save your life.
The front line is cruel and bloody, and it's useless even if you have a few subordinates to protect you."
Wan Hansong was completely irritated. He slapped the table and stood up, almost poking Tang Wen's nose with his fingertips.
"If you can break off my hand, I'll give you five million taels." Tang Wen stretched out his hand and pointed back at Wan Hansong.
"Sir, do you mean what you said?" Wan Hansong's pupils twitched when he heard five million and asked.
"Of course! If you don't believe it, we can issue a military order." Tang Wen said.
"Get down here!" Wan Hansong turned his hand, grabbed Tang Wen's arm and pushed him down.
However, Tang Wen's palm did not move at all, and Wan Hansong was stunned. No, I must have used at least some strength.
"Put more effort and give you another chance." Tang Wen kept his hands sideways.
"Down!" Wan Hansong was so angry that he adjusted his energy and pressed down with his left arm.
Still not moving!
Wan Hansong was dumbfounded and the corner of his mouth twitched. This time he had to use five points of strength.
"Last chance!" Tang Wen said coldly.
"The mountains are crushing the top, and the rivers are sinking!" Wan Hansong tried his best, punching his arms through his arms, jumping up from the air, and hitting Tang Wen's arms with his hands.
Bang!
As if he hit a huge horizontal iron pillar, Wan Hansong was shocked and fell to the ground.
He immediately collapsed on the ground and looked at Tang Wen with a stupid expression.
"It turns out...it turns out that you have been pretending to be stupid..." After a long time, Wan Hansong said with a dead look on his face.
"I just broke through." Tang Wen stretched out his hand and slashed at a tree about twenty-five feet away.
There was a sharp click, and a tree branch as thick as an adult's arm was cut off abruptly.
"You...you are in the middle stage of the first grade?" Wan Hansong was almost shocked to death, his eyes bulging exaggeratedly as he looked at Tang Wen.
I haven't shown my perfect strength yet? Aren't you shocked to death...
"You...what did you use to break through?" The next moment, Wan Hansong reacted, jumped up, and asked.
"You don't care what kind of breakthrough I use, I can tell you seriously, if you want a first-class one, I can help you step in now." Tang Wendao.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch. You must have conditions. Tell me, what are your conditions?" Wan Hansong regained his composure.
However, the popular villain looked at Tang Wen longingly.
"Join the Tang family and become a Tang family member.
I will provide you with everything you need, including a large amount of spiritual stones, spiritual elixirs, and silver.
You just need to be a good official, do things for the people, and contribute to the country.
I will take care of everything after you die." Tang Wen said.
"What do you mean by...joining the Tang family?" Wan Hansong asked, his lips seeming a little trembling.
"Many things in this world are transactions. Otherwise, why should I give you everything?" Tang Wen said.
"Selling yourself?" Wan Hansong understood, and his face suddenly turned dark.
"The only condition." Tang Wen said.
"That's impossible! You can tell me that I am a second-rank official in the imperial court and sold myself to the Tang family.
However, if you help me, as you said, this is a deal.
From now on, I can help you with a lot of things." Wan Hansong shook his head.
"Haha, people are selfish and forget everything easily.
When the time comes, you become a second-grade official and sit in the position of governor, will you still remember me?
You might even frame me in turn and kill me with Linghai Academy.
When the time comes, everything will disappear. How did you get to the top? How did you get into the first rank? God knows!" Tang Wen smiled.
"I, Wan Hansong, am not that kind of person." Wan Hansong said.
"Everyone who borrows money will swear to heaven that he will repay the money. Then, when you go to collect the debt, they will all become uncles.
In turn, the creditor becomes a wretch. In this world, all oaths are bullshit!
People's hearts are unpredictable, only black and white words on paper are the most important.
This is the constraint, the framework. And if you want to have everything, you have to pay the price.
As you said, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Of course, you can also choose to continue serving as chief envoy.
However, after passing this village, there is no such store.
In life, maybe one chance will make you regret it for the rest of your life. One wrong step will lead to wrong steps." Tang Wen sneered.
"But after I sold myself to the Tang family and became a slave of the Tang family, how can I still live freely? It would be better to sit in the position of chief envoy." Wan Hansong sneered.
"Don't worry, I don't care about you in general. You only need your help when the Tang family needs it.
Of course, the Tang family may not necessarily hang themselves on your tree.
I believe that with such favorable conditions, someone would be willing.
By then, he may be your boss." Tang Wen said.
"But how can I believe what you say?" Wan Hansong snorted.
"You can only believe it! I won't tell you what I am like as a person?
This is all bullshit, because, as I said, people's hearts are unpredictable.
However, everyone has their own judgment. There is one more thing I want to tell you. The batch of grain and grass that my brother-in-law lost has been recovered and will be transported to Linghai in a few days.
If you join the Tang family, you will receive a share of the credit.
Time is tight and you can only make a decision within these two days.
Otherwise, I will give the credit to others." Tang Wen said.
"But you can't guarantee that you can push me to sit on the governor's seat. If I can't sit on it, wouldn't it be a big loss?" Wan Hansong said.
"There is an 80% chance that, for example, in this grain robbery case, I will say that you sent me to investigate the case. This is a big feat.
When our Tang army goes to war, we will definitely win a complete victory. By then, at least half of it will fall on you.
For example, you personally go to the front line to command, etc.
Add these two achievements together, plus you have entered the first rank, is it still difficult to be the governor?" Tang Wen said.
"The Kingdom of the Sun is not a softie. Our elite black cavalry army from Linghai participated in the war for the first time and suffered over a thousand casualties in one fell swoop.
Is your Tang Army more powerful than the Black Cavalry Army?" Wan Hansong obviously didn't believe it.
"I have my own reasons. My Tang family's army is all armed with Western goods. If you don't believe it, I can take you to Koh Samui. Then you will understand." Tang Wendao.
"Okay, I'd like to go take a look. We'll set off at five o'clock tomorrow morning." Wan Hansong seemed to be moved.
"Sir, are you really going to sell yourself to the Tang family?" Master Li Jingyuan couldn't help but ask as soon as Tang Wen left.
"How is it possible to sell yourself?" Wan Hansong said with a smile.
"If you go down tomorrow, you will send the wrong message to Tang Wen. He will definitely mistakenly think that you are already in love." Li Jingyuan said.
"Samui Island is our Linghai territory. What's wrong with me going down to inspect it? I want to see the strength of the Tang Army. If it is as he said, it will be our luck." Wan Hansong
road.
"Your Majesty, do you want the Tang family's army to achieve meritorious service in one battle?" Li Jingyuan said.
"Yes, when the time comes, I will personally command the Tang army to perform meritorious service.
Despite his military exploits, his own skills still do not meet the requirements of the court.
However, military exploits can cover up everything." Wan Hansong said.
"But Tang Wen may not be able to give you what you want." Li Jingyuan said.
"Tang Wen is just a little earl, what kind of trouble can he stir up? Does he dare to disobey the imperial decree?" Wan Hansong sneered.
"My lord, please don't forget that Tang Wen is a first-level master." Li Jingyuan said.
