Zhou Changying nodded slightly and sighed softly, expressing that she was also very sympathetic and worried about Zhao Jing'er's situation.

Lin Wan saw that Zhou Changying had been moved by what he said, and couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "Yesterday, my third brother got married, and Cousin Jing also came, and I kept begging me to find a way, so I had to agree." But what can I do? I have to be cheeky and beg you. ”

Zhou Changying smiled, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want your cousin Jing to go to Fujian City with Xing Han to take office?"

Lin Wan smiled innocently and said, "Master, you are really reasonable, understanding, and amiable!"

Zhou Changying shook his head with a chuckle, and reproached: "You kid, you usually look quite sensible, how can you become so confused when you encounter the problem of children's affection?

Lin Wan was stunned, her heart sank again, and she immediately put away her smile, and looked like she would change her mistakes when she knew it, and she was humbly taught, waiting for Zhou Changying's teachings.

Zhou Changying sighed and continued: "Although there is no explicit provision, in order to concentrate on government affairs, ordinary officials will not bring their families in the first year or two before taking office. First, there is official business, and it is not appropriate to be distracted by family members. In addition, when you first take up a post in a place, you will inevitably be ostracized by local officials and powerful people, and it is not safe to bring your family with you. However, if the political performance is good and the situation on the ground is stable. The official himself reported to the imperial court, and after approval, he could also let his family members go with him. ”

Lin Wan really never knew that there was such a relationship before, but after listening to Zhou Changying's words today, he suddenly felt that the problem was not as simple as he thought.

Zhou Changying saw that Lin Wan was stunned, knowing that she didn't know about the matter, so she went on to explain: "What's more, this time Wang Ronggang was impeached, and it was the concubines around him who were involved. Presumably, the emperor will not agree to let Xing Han take his new wife to office. Don't mention this again. ”

Lin Wan frowned and continued to fight: "Master, but, Xing Han and Zhao Jing'er's situation is different? First of all, Zhao Jing'er knows martial arts, which is enough to protect herself, and she can also protect her husband, having her by her side is equivalent to having an extra personal bodyguard." Second, Zhao Jing'er is fierce enough, and with her, who would dare to send someone to Xing Han's side? Third, Fuzhou is the master's territory, who would dare to mess around there? Fourth, Zhao Jing'er and Xing Han are newlyweds, so isn't it too inhumane to let them separate their husband and wife like this?

Zhou Changying wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at Lin Wan, he didn't speak for a long time, and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes. After a while, he said: "Wan'er is right, but no one can control how the emperor decides." As a teacher, I can only promise you, if the emperor asks my opinion again, I will help you mention it. ”

Lin Wan was overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately got up happily and saluted Zhou Changying respectfully, saying, "Thank you, master!"

Zhou Changying shook his head with a helpless smile again, and said, "You, Xiaokou is so good at talking, why don't you go and plead with the emperor yourself?"

Lin Wan shook her head with a smile and said, "Master, Wan'er knows that the emperor and the master love me very much, but it is not without self-knowledge. How could the emperor rely on me in such a matter? How dare I be emotionally involved in a major matter in the court? I just came to talk to the master about my opinion, and the master has his own decision, and he will not punish me because I said it wrong. ”

Zhou Changying smiled slightly, changed the topic, and said, "Actually, a few days ago, the emperor had already asked me to talk about this matter. Regarding the matter of Wang Ronggang and the selection of the next prefect of Fujian, the emperor learned some information from me and solicited my opinion. After all, my fiefdom is in Fuzhou, and if the new Fujian prefect and the officials in my fiefdom cannot coexist peacefully, they will not be able to continue to work. ”

Lin Wan looked at Zhou Changying intently, looking forward to her next step.

Zhou Changying shook his head and continued: "I didn't give the emperor any advice, but I explained to the emperor some of the circumstances of Wang Ronggang when he was the prefect of Fujian. In fact, I still recognize Wang Ronggang's performance in Fujian. As for the candidates for the new Fujian prefect, although the emperor did not say it, as you said, the old ministers in the court are all factional, and only these young talents are the best candidates. ”

Lin Wan pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask again: "Master, the emperor has not expressed his position, do you still have any concerns?"

Zhou Changying glanced at Lin Wan and said lightly: "All aspects that the emperor wants to take into account are certainly not what you little girl can imagine. After a pause, he said: "This matter is not urgent, the emperor has his own decision, and we should not affect the emperor's decision." The official position of the Fujian prefect was very important to the economy of the Great Feudal State. Although it is not as good as the position of the Taishou of Fengming City and Fengnan City, it is related to the safety of the Great Feudal State, and he has military power in his hands, but he is also the highest political official of a city and the parent official of the people. You don't want to affect the overall situation because of the small things that your children are long. ”

Lin Wan nodded again and again, and said, "Master, I don't think the Fujian prefect is unimportant. On the contrary, I think the geographical location of Fujian City is very important for the Great Feudal Kingdom. It is precisely because I think it is very important, and I may need the help of local officials in Fujian when I go to Xiling Kingdom this time, so I am so anxious to deal with this matter before I go to Xiling Kingdom. ”

When Zhou Changying heard this, he couldn't help frowning and pondering. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Wan'er is reasonable." If you fail in Xiling, the people of Fujian City will also be in danger. The defense of the city of Fujian was very poor, and apart from my army in Fuzhou, there were few troops that could compete with the Nanyue and Xiling kingdoms. ”

Lin Wan nodded and said, "I have already mentioned to the emperor before that if the Nanyue Kingdom obtains the support of the Xiling Kingdom, it is very likely that it will march to Fujian City through Fuling Mountain. Therefore, this trip to Xiling Kingdom and the appointment of the Fujian prefect are very important. ”

Zhou Changying's brows furrowed even tighter, thought about it, and said, "Wan'er's words reminded me. I will write a letter to Fuzhou as soon as possible to remind Amon and General Lai to strengthen Fuzhou's defense capabilities, and to pay special attention to the recent movements in Xiling and Nanyue. We must not allow the spies of the South Vietnamese Kingdom to take advantage of it. ”

Lin Wan couldn't help but be happy when she saw that her words worked, and Zhou Changying's reaction was so fast and her actions were so fast. Immediately, he asked suspiciously, "Master, who are Ah Meng and General Li? Are they your henchmen?"
