Chapter 688
At the same time, Qinzhou, the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the study, Liu Yuzhi was sorting out official documents, reading the rolls of bamboo slips, and then tied them up and sorted them. It seemed that he was very busy.
He was working at his desk. Soon after, the Shaofu Order Jiang Yi walked in, bowed and said, "The Prime Minister called me?"
"Ah, Lord Jiang is here." Liu Yuzhi put down the bamboo slips in his hand, picked up a letter and handed them to him: "This is passed back by the king, please take a look."
"Yes." Jiang Yi took it respectfully, looked at it carefully, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the prime minister, go and do it immediately."
Liu Yuzhi nodded and looked at him and said, "After entering the palace, pay attention to your attitude."
"The lower official understands, don't worry, the prime minister." Jiang Yi politely retreated.
Xiao Yuan explained two things in this letter. The first was to receive the emperor's imperial edict and commend Yan Zheng and others. The second was to order the Ministry of Personnel to immediately recommend officials and take office in Anyang.
In the afternoon of that day, the Qin Palace.
"I, the young mansion commander Jiang Yi, please see Your Majesty, long live my emperor."
Jiang Yi knelt down and bowed, Shang Rui was above, and forced himself to smile: "Mr. Jiang is exempt from gifts, I don't know what it is to ask for a meeting today."
Of course he didn't want to meet Qin officials, but he had no choice.
After Jiang Yi finished his etiquette, he stood up and said straight to the point: "Report to Your Majesty, this time the ghost tribe invaded, the Central Plains was in turmoil. Although the Allies were at the end to quell the war, the war was fierce during the period, and many outstanding generals sprinkled blood on the battlefield, especially Yan Zheng and his unit. In order to resist the ghost army and protect the people behind him, all five thousand soldiers in the army, including the chief general, were killed in the Nanguankou. Your Majesty must observe the heroic sacrifice."
"Yan Zheng?" Shang Rui's face showed a confused look: "Who is he?"
"A infantry captain." Jiang Yidao.
"That Lord Jiang wants to say..."
"Please give your majesty the emperor to inform the world, posthumously grant Yan Zheng the title of Marquis of Lie, and commend all the soldiers of his troops."
Shang Rui didn't react a little. He thought that he was a general, so he couldn't help but say: "Only a small infantry captain, he wants to be appointed as a marquis. Lord Jiang, is this..."
"As the saying goes, heroes do not ask where they come from. Although Yan Zheng's military rank is low, his heroic sacrifice has brought back the lives of millions of people. In the war to expel foreign enemies, his merits are beyond doubt. Please give your Majesty a clear guide."
"This..." Shang Rui was still a little hesitant. The title of marquis was not a random title, and he could not have issued an order at will just because of Jiang Yi's words.
Seeing this, Jiang Yi said expressionlessly: "This is what my king means, please forgive me."
"Ah? Yes, is it what the King of Qin meant?" Shang Rui asked subconsciously.
"Yes." Jiang Yi was concise and respectful on the surface, but in fact, he did not regard him as the emperor. There was only Xiao Yuan in his heart.
When Shang Rui heard this, he forced himself to smile again and said, "Since it is the King of Qin who requested an order, there must be a reason. I, I will issue an order."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jiang Yi bowed seriously again.
Of course there will be no twists and turns in the matter here. On the other hand, the Ministry of Personnel’s Office will handle it.
Li Zhengfang has also received the news and is considering the matter of officials taking office.
Anyang is a bit special. First, it does not belong to Huan Kingdom, but it is equivalent to being within Huan Kingdom. Second, it is a border county.
Therefore, in the eyes of Qin officials, it is not a good thing to take office there.
Moreover, in the letter, Xiao Yuan did not clearly point out which official was appointed to serve as the county magistrate, but only asked the Ministry of Personnel to recommend it.
Judging from the political situation of Qin, the Prime Minister's Office, the Censor's Office, and the four ministries and three departments are all central institutions. Li Zhengfang has considerable power, and his recommendation will also play a certain role.
But even if he recommends a county magistrate in a certain place and is promoted to Anyang County Magistrate, that county magistrate will not be grateful to him, but will think that this is wearing small shoes.
Because Anyang is in a problem, this is also the reason why he hesitated.
Li Zhengfang likes to weigh the pros and cons, but at this time, his subordinates, Yang Qing'an, gave in and said, "Sir, the position of Anyang County Governor is different from other counties. If the handling is not done well, not only will the king blame the blame, but it may also arouse some people's suspicion."
Understanding his meaning, Li Zhengfang had many political enemies, and looked at him and said, "What about your opinion?"
"The officials are brave enough. If you have the chance, you dare to ask for recommendations from the elders." Yang Qing'an said directly. His current official position is from the fourth rank, and the chief of a county is from the third rank. If he really takes office, it seems to have been promoted, but in fact it is not. Because the Ministry of Personnel is a central agency, Yang Qing'an is also a real official in the capital, and his prospects are very good.
But now, he took the initiative to ask to go to Anyang, border county. When Li Zhengfang heard this, he thought there was something wrong with his ears and widened his eyes and said, "What did you say?"
"I wonder if the subordinates have the opportunity to be the governor of Anyang County. If possible, I hope the Lord will recommend one or two of them in front of you." Yang Qing'an repeated.
"This!" Li Zhengfang heard it clearly this time, but he was anxious. Rather than saying that Yang Qing'an was his official, there was a kind of teacher-student friendship between them.
In his opinion, Yang Qing'an's future is good, and there is no need to go to Anyang at all, so he said earnestly: "Qing'an, you have good political achievements and are from a gentry. Moreover, the king had named you before, which shows that he attached great importance to it. If you are an official in the capital, your prospects are better than those in the place. And do you know the problem in Anyang?"
Yang Qing'an said: "The officials understand that Anyang is located in Huan Realm and is also the gateway for the invasion of the ghost clan. The military and political affairs are complicated, but that's it. The king still has to choose the county magistrate and must take this place. This shows that in the king's heart, Anyang is very important."
Li Zhengfang shook his head: "Qing'an, you are brave enough to take responsibility. I know this, but this matter is extraordinary. Once you go to Anyang, your future will be uncertain. Maybe there will be many crises."
"As the lord said, all the officials have considered it, but in my opinion, none of these are important to manage Anyang well." Yang Qing'an insisted that the reason for this was that he had his own vision and insights.
"This." Li Zhengfang still had concerns on his face, and then he shook his head: "It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate."
"Please help me." Yang Qing'an continued to request.
He did this again and again, and Li Zhengfang looked at him strangely: "You really want to go to Anyang?"
"Yes." Yang Qing'an answered simply.
Seeing that he was so persistent, Li Zhengfang thought about it and said helplessly: "Okay, but I can only play a recommendation here. I don't have the right to appoint a county magistrate. This matter depends on the king."
"Thank you, sir." Yang Qing'an bowed and gave a deep salute.
