Originally, he thought Du He would be furious and curse Chen Shuda's eighteenth generation ancestors.
Unexpectedly, Du He was drinking tea calmly.
Liu Wentong couldn't help but said: "Prince-in-law, I thought that this matter is not without improvement."
Du He smiled and said: "Master Liu, do you want me to enter the palace and ask your Majesty to show mercy and withdraw the decree?"
Liu Wentong nodded, "Exactly, even if you can't be promoted, being the county magistrate for ten thousand years is better than being a sihu and joining the army."
Xu Zhiyuan's eyes lit up: "If this is the case, I would like to send a memorial to help the consort."
Wei Shuyu also said: "Brother Du, I can also ask my father to take action. Colleagues, I will also send a memorial saying that I am not talented enough to serve as the county magistrate for ten thousand years."
Although they are both county magistrates, the status of Wannian County Magistrate is higher than that of Hu County Magistrate.
This time, the imperial court appointed Wei Shuyu as the magistrate of Wannian County, but it was intended to promote him.
Liu Wentong and others sincerely want to help Du He.
When Du He heard this, he waved his hands and said: "You have all thought wrong. In my opinion, the position of Sihu joining the army is very good. From now on, I can concentrate on doing business taxation in Jingzhao Prefecture."
And public security matters, why not do it."
Liu Wentong said in surprise: "But, as a result, it will be even more difficult for the prince-in-law to be promoted again. Even if you have meritorious service in the post of Sihu joining the army, it will be difficult for you to serve as an officer. When the time comes, those in the court will
People used the reason that you were born in Sihu and joined the army to prevent you from entering the court."
"Yes, Prince Consort, you have to think clearly. Once you really accept it, your future will be full of difficulties." Xu Zhiyuan also said.
Du He asked with a smile: "I think back then, they took great pains to let me go to Wannian County to be a county magistrate. Isn't that what they had in mind? So what? It's different for me to sit in the position of county magistrate.
, since they don’t want me to be promoted, then I’ll just pretend that I can be promoted faster, but it’s just eight words: when soldiers come, the water will be blocked and the earth will cover it.”
Liu Wentong admired and said: "As the old saying goes, when heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to a person, he must first work hard and work hard... Faced with such a difficult situation, the prince-in-law can still laugh and talk about it. It is really rare in ancient times. Since the prince-in-law is the capital
If Sihu of Zhaofu joins the army, I will be your consort and help him."
Xu Zhiyuan said: "From now on, Xu will definitely follow the lead of his consort."
Wei Shuyu stuffed a piece of pork jerky into his mouth and said, "I listen to Brother Du in everything."
Du He cupped his hands and said, "In this case, there will be a lot of work."
He suddenly realized that he also had his own team.
At this moment, Liu Wentong suddenly asked: "I just don't know how the DPRK and the Central Committee will determine the selection of Hu County officials?"
Xu Zhiyuan said: "The Prince Consort is the last county magistrate of Hu County. The previous county magistrate, Master Wei, was recommended by Brother Du. It is said that this time Master Wei was transferred to the Wannian County Magistrate. The selection of the county magistrate of Hu County should also be made by the Prince Consort."
Just recommend it."
Before he finished speaking, a voice sounded at the door.
"Don't daydream. The magistrate of Hu County has already decided on the candidate."
Everyone turned to look.
I saw Yu Chigong walking in with a gloomy face.
His skin was dark, and as soon as he came in, the whole room became a little darker.
Du He saw Yu Chi Gong's face and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Yu Chi is here, and what he brings is probably not good news, right?"
Yuchi hummed respectfully, "My dear nephew, I have tried my best. Originally, for the election of the county magistrate of Hu County, the one recommended by the Fang Xiang and I was Wei Shuwan, the third young master of Wei. Although Wei Shuwan is young, he has been in charge of the pig farm of Hu County in these years.
, but it was well organized and made great contributions. Unexpectedly, two old men, Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji, suddenly interfered and recommended Changsun Chong, the young minister of Dali Temple, as the magistrate of Huxian County. There were many people in the court who supported it.
, this matter has been decided, and there will be an edict tomorrow."
Xu Zhiyuan exclaimed: "Chang Sun Chong is Princess Yuzhang's consort. Normally, a consort cannot hold a real official position. Chang Sun Chong serves as the magistrate of Hu County, which is against common sense."
Yuchi Gong sneered, then looked at Du He: "You have to ask someone who breaks the rules!"
Xu Zhiyuan suddenly realized.
Du He was not only the consort, but also the consort of the two princesses, so why should Zhao Yang hold a position of real power?
Xu Zhiyuan smiled bitterly.
Yu Chigong said: "Changsun family, I don't want to deal with you. Now that Changsun Chong is serving as the magistrate of Huxian County, the Changsun family may not have the intention to embarrass you. Moreover, your dream group is in Huxian County, so you should be more careful.
"
Du He said coldly: "It seems that this is already the worst situation. However, there are too many lice and it doesn't itch."
"Aren't you worried?"
Du He said nonchalantly: "Changsun Chong is just a defeated general under my command, what should I be afraid of?"
Yuchi Gong nodded: "If that's the case, then I'll have dinner at your county government office today."
Du He and others: "..."
…
The next day.
Sure enough, there is an edict.
Changsun Chong served as the magistrate of Hu County.
Wait until noon.
Du He was still at the Wannian County Government Office when he saw Wei Shuyu arriving at the County Government Office with a carriage loaded with belongings.
Du He joked: "Brother Wei, the speed with which he took office is a little too fast."
Wei Shuyu smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Du doesn't know. Early this morning, Changsun Chong has arrived in Hu County and is eager to make room for me. Now, I am homeless and can only come to Wannian County Government first. However,
Brother Du, don't get me wrong, I'm not here to drive you away. Brother Du can stay in this Wannian County Government as long as he wants. It just so happens that I have many things to ask."
Wei Shuyu's words were sincere.
When he was the county magistrate of Hu County, he always followed the rules of Xiao and Cao. All the rules in Hu County were established by Du He when he was the county magistrate.
All he did was check for deficiencies and fill them up.
But when we arrived in Wannian County, the situation was different.
Wei Shuyu's first thought was to ask Du He for help.
Du He nodded: "It should be so."
In the next few days, Du He stayed behind closed doors.
I stayed with Wei Shuyu all day long, discussing the development of Wannian County Government.
There was originally a lively discussion in Chang'an City about Du He serving as a household secretary and joining the army, but within a few days, the discussion subsided.
at the same time.
Changsun Chong, on the other hand, returned to Sikong Mansion eagerly and in a very bad mood.
When he learned that Changsun Wuji was in the study, he hurried to the study.
When Changsun Wuji saw Changsun Chong, he put down the book in his hand and asked, "Chong'er, the magistrate of Hu County, are you doing your job comfortably?"
Changsun Chong shook his head and said with a serious expression: "Dad, what this county magistrate does is not easy, there is a lot of resistance."
"oh?"
Changsun Chong looked very unhappy and explained: "Dad, we have underestimated Du He's influence in Hu County. Not to mention ordinary people, they regard Du He as a god and say that Du He is the reincarnation of a civil and military star.
Just say that everyone in the county government must call me Du He. I want to do something, but I am blocked everywhere."
