Chapter 705 This is what a man should do! [7k, please vote at the end of the month!]

Governor's Mansion, meeting hall.

Magistrate Diao, who was sitting in the front row, looked a little radiant today.

From the nearby Xunyang City, he met his colleagues who were also attending the meeting.

On the way to the Governor's Mansion with them, he felt a little secretly pleased by the envious looks cast by his colleagues from time to time.

As the current county magistrate of Longcheng County, he is currently the governor of Jiangzhou and the successor of Master Ouyang, the bachelor of Xiuwenguan, who made his fortune in the place where he previously served.

You don't need to guess about his relationship with Ouyang Lianghan.

According to official rules, Longcheng County is Ouyang Lianghan's basic base for making a fortune, and the person who takes over must be someone he trusts and is close to.

Therefore, Magistrate Diao was naturally labeled as Ouyang Lianghan and the Prince of Xunyang behind him.

Although Magistrate Diao knew in his heart that his old boss Ouyang Lianghan did not have the gangster spirit, he just used him as a former acquaintance and colleague, and even sometimes patted him on the shoulder and teased him.

He called out "Master Diao" and asked, "How many sets of Four Seasons uniforms do you have now?" This made Magistrate Diao feel helpless and embarrassed.

Ouyang Lianghan did not transfer him from the county seat to the state for promotion, nor did he directly provide any personnel conveniences. Everything was left to its own devices. It still depends on whether he can make any political achievements. It all depends on his ability, not on his ability.

Flattery.

It's just that if he makes achievements, he will definitely not be ignored and buried if there are people above him.

But for this alone, I am already thankful.

After Ouyang Rong made the achievement of Zheyiqu, he was almost suppressed by Wang Lengran, who was the governor of Jiangzhou at the time, during the official evaluation every six months, and his political achievements were buried. If not for the then Longcheng Su

Now, the Xunyang Wang family has used their connections in Luoyang to

With strong recommendation, coupled with the strong recommendation of his mentor Xie Xun and running around, he handed the record of Zhe Yiqu's political achievements to the desk of Di Fuzi, the head of the Political Affairs Hall. It is estimated that Ouyang Rong is still working in Longcheng County to arrest petty thieves and protect the people.

The trivial matters of civil security are a waste of talent.

Time, destiny, this is the difference between whether there are noble people above or not.

Magistrate Diao was deeply moved.

Although the noble person may not care too much about discovering you, nor does he want you to repay him with spring water, he just simply rewards you based on your merits, discovers talents, and appreciates them...

But the division of factions is not based on human will.

Not everyone in the officialdom can decide freely and subjectively.

It’s about how others see you and how your enemies see you.

When they think you are, you better be, or have to be.

Because you can't afford to be inspected by others even once.

Even the enemy didn't bother to check.

Because the stick has already been knocked down, even if your neutral camp is detected, what should you do if you smile but secretly hold a grudge? It would be easier to just knock you to death with a stick just now.

In any system, the simpler the game rules are, the better, which can reduce the consumption of resources. The more complex the rules, the more difficult it is to operate.

This is especially true in officialdom, where the labels placed on one's body are difficult to tear off.

For example, Li Congshan, who is currently guarding the Xunyang Palace, is not the same. Although he is not at fault and even fulfills his duties, Princess Wei Mei, who was born in the White Tiger Guard and was once in power by Qiu Shenji, feels resentful and suspicious from the bottom of her heart, so she tries every means to do so.

I want to replace my nephew Wei Mi with him, so I can sleep peacefully.

In this regard, Li Xian, Li Guo'er, and Li Dalang all acquiesced and did not stop Wei Mei.

Because the three hundred soldiers guarding the palace are very important, the Xunyang Palace cannot bear the risk of testing them even once.

At certain special critical moments, a single defection could plunge the palace into a place of eternal destruction.

Therefore, wealth and life must be in the hands of one's own people, which is reassuring.

If you can't take risks, don't take risks.

It has nothing to do with whether Li Congshan is good or bad, or whether he fulfills his duties.

Having said that.

Magistrate Diao, who has a shiny label, stole the show when he entered Xunyang City this time.

After Wang Lengran, Lin Cheng and his entourage were eliminated, Ouyang Rong and the Xunyang Palace have taken control of all the power in Jiangzhou. Naturally, the state and county officials within the territory are one-sided, but they are definitely not as good as Long who provided help in times of trouble.

of the old people of the city.

Magistrate Diao was relieved to receive the enviable label of "Longcheng old man", but he also felt a little sad in his heart.

It is said that you have to sit on the bench for ten years. Good guy, he sat on the bench for thirty years. Finally, he met a noble man before he was about to retire, and his career rejuvenated.

What, continue to retire and return to his hometown? Tell me, he is not old, and he can continue to shine for Dazhou and Her Majesty the Queen for ten years!

Governor's Mansion, meeting hall.

State and county officials who are important in Jiangzhou official circles gathered together.

In the morning, the second quarter has passed.

The tea in the teacups in front of the participants had already cooled down a lot. The atmosphere in the hall was a little quiet. You could hear a needle drop. There was still no figure of a certain governor outside the door.

Chen You, the official who presided over the meeting on his behalf, walked out in small steps.

After a while, a group of scribes came in under the leadership of Chen You and served a cup of steaming new tea to all the officials present.

The originally quiet hall suddenly became filled with the sounds of clinking porcelain cups.

A pair of eyes drifted towards the figures at the front of the hall.

The young governor has been in office for a year, and everyone is already familiar with his style. He is by no means a person who likes to be late. He has a strong sense of time. In the past, he always arrived early, and his self-discipline is embarrassing.

But this time he didn't come.

There were already people in the hall quietly wondering if something unexpected had happened, and some even felt uneasy in their hearts.

Magistrate Diao sat in the front row, his back straight and his movements of drinking tea gentle and calm.

In fact, he had learned from Ouyang Rong in Longcheng County before. He still remembered the Ming Dynasty master's calm demeanor at that time.

Magistrate Diao looked straight ahead and sat upright without looking back at the door.

There were many people in the hall who were quietly looking at the famous man like Magistrate Diao. After seeing his non-squinting and waiting posture, they couldn't help but feel more at ease.

In addition to Magistrate Diao, there were three people in the front row who were also motionless.

They are a middle-aged female officer, a stern armored man, and a bearded young man with a kind and gentle face who exudes nobility.

The former is Rong Zhen's confidant female official, whose surname is Li.

Followed by Qin Yi, the superintendent of transportation, Prince Xunyang, Jiangzhou Farewell and Fusu.

In place of the Supervisory Yuan, the Chinese military camp on the front line and the Prince Xunyang's Mansion came.

The three of them also drank tea quietly without any hurry.

He didn't even make a small move to check out the weather.

Just wait patiently as if nothing is wrong.

There was no intention of being dissatisfied and blaming the young governor for being late.

Even Prince Li Fusu would turn his head from time to time and touch the food box held by the maid behind him with great concern.

The food box contains the nourishing ginseng soup specially given to Governor Ouyang by King Lixian of Xunyang. It seems to have been brewed by Princess Wei Mei herself.

Choosing it at such a time of a meeting and delivering it in front of everyone not only showed daily intimacy, but also clearly announced something.

All the officials in the audience were stunned.

But at this moment, with these few people setting an example, they were not in a hurry and were waiting very patiently. Naturally, there was no one with a higher status and status than them, so they all calmed down and drank tea in silence.

Occasionally, younger officials in the hall would raise their heads and couldn't help but look around at the silent waiting crowd.

This is a reflection of personal majesty and power status.

There were some sighs and sighs in their hearts, as well as uncontrollable envy.

Although the young governor is not here, he is still able to control the situation.

Men, this is how it should be.

Just when everyone in the audience was distracted, a steady step with its own rhythm sounded on the corridor outside, getting closer and closer to the hall.

It was like a shot of chicken blood, instantly activating the dull hall.

…

Pei Sanniang came to the Governor's Mansion today, still wearing her favorite purple and gold silk fabric.

But the clothes she wore were much more plain.

Originally, on important occasions like this, she would wear the most expensive silk and satin in her family and the finest luxury accessories to show off her brilliance.

But not today.

She didn't wear any of these. She only wore a woman's long dress with a monotonous color. It was plain white and the material was not expensive. She was dressed in a simple dress and the jewelry was simple. She only wore a hairpin on her head. It was popular in Xunyang City at the beginning of the year.
