Chapter 370: Lentils are missing

Arrange a position for him in Manchu Metropolitan Division?

This sounds very familiar and ...... Very awkward.

Generally speaking, it is a request to be a son, and even a father in a high position is forced to arrange a position for him in an important department.

As the commander of the first army, Huo Xiao has not encountered such a thing once or twice.

There are several children in the general's mansion who can't study, and they all want to be sent to the barracks to "have some experience", in fact, to find a future for their sons and nephews.

How did it come to their father and son, and everything changed?

And although he is a future general, the emperor's uncle also said that he will temporarily be in charge of the Wanquan Division, but when it comes to the real position, he is only the general of the Beida Battalion and the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and he has no right to intervene in the appointment and dismissal of officials of the Wanquan Division.

Didn't my father think he had fallen on the wrong mountain?

The smile on Huo Xiao's face became even stronger, and he was trained by his mother for a short time, which made his father change so much.

Master Huo was angry, he never begged for half his life, and even preferred to go to Hejian Mansion to be a small prefect than beg his father, General Huo.

It's good now, he pulled down his old face and begged his son, and what he asked for was to serve in a broken place like Wanquan Dusi, and he actually ......

Not only did the son not admit it, but he also smiled so happily!

Huo Xiao looked at Master Huo and was so angry that he couldn't do it, so he covered his smile and cleared his throat and said, "Wanquan Dusi doesn't seem to have a position suitable for his father. ”

It's not that he's perfunctory Master Huo, Wanquan Dusi, like Liaodong Dusi, is a purely military town, and there is no political envoy and prefect yamen like other places, and the officials here are headed by the commanders and envoys, and they are basically military generals.

And Master Huo is now a civil official, and it is difficult to find a position of similar rank in the Dusi Yamen, unless he is willing to be an ordinary clerk.

It's not that he looks down on clerks, but once he becomes a clerk, his life is basically like that.

It is unlikely that you will be promoted or make meritorious contributions, and if you want to do something, you will be said to be overstepping.

Then the oath he made at the door of Princess Yongfu that "if you can't do something big, you won't be a person" will always be an empty word.

If you really want to dig deeper, won't he even be able to do it?

Looking at his son's ridiculed look, Master Huo puffed up his anger and said: "Although I don't care about my position as a father, my brain is not stupid enough to do that!" I guess there will be some changes on the part of the Manchu Capital Division soon, so I plan to stay here. ”

Huo Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Father means ......"

Master Huo took Huo Xiao's arm and pulled him directly into the small side room where he had breakfast.

After the father and son sat down on the chairs, Master Huo said, "I heard that you and Bayin Saihan have already negotiated the cooperation between the two countries?" ”

Huo Xiao nodded, not only to cooperate, he and Bayin Saihan had even negotiated the specific use of troops, and as soon as the deployment of troops in all aspects was in place, he could immediately use troops against his Kebatu.

Master Huo said: "Isn't this over, with your strength, it won't take long to solve Qikebatu, and then the two countries will hold peace talks, and they will not continue to use swords and soldiers for at least twenty or thirty years."

It has been a few months since my father arrived in Wanquan Dusi, and there is some understanding of the situation here, although it is not as prosperous as other state capitals, but the number of civilians is increasing year by year.

I estimate that it won't be long before a prefect's yamen will be set up here.

To put it bluntly, the person who serves as the prefect in this place, being able to bear hardships and stand hard work is secondary, it is best to understand the military and the people's livelihood and not be corrupt, and there are still decades of experience for the father, do you think the entire Great Zhou Dynasty can find a more suitable candidate than me? ”

Huo Xiao really couldn't find the words to refute him for a while, but he just ...... Co-authored Fang Fang He was so sad and angry, but he still had time to think about these things?

He said coldly: "Father's plan is not only these, you don't have any selfishness at all?" ”

Master Huo's old face was slightly red, and he said: "Looking at your mother's appearance, she doesn't plan to leave Liaodong, I simply work in the Wanquan Division, at least I can be close to her, and I can take care of her when there is any emergency."

Besides, who said that only those who go to the battlefield can be considered to have made meritorious achievements? At the beginning of the new establishment of the prefect's yamen, the affairs were complicated and chaotic, and not everyone could do it well! ”

In the past, Huo Xiao would at least sneer a few words after hearing these words, but now that he knows his mother's thoughts very well, he naturally will not do such useless work again.

He smiled lightly: "Since you have calculated everything, it makes no sense for me to say anything, so I will go to the emperor's uncle for you to say it, it is not easy to say whether it will succeed or not, in short, you must be mentally prepared." ”

Seeing that Master Huo's face immediately showed a happy look, his thin lips moved and it was not easy to splash his cold water.

The emperor's uncle treats his mother as his own sister, and he has not had a good impression of his father all these years, and it is difficult to say whether he is willing to fulfill his father.

Obviously, Master Huo is not worried about this, and he has full confidence in his eldest son's ability.

"Ah Xiao, then the father will leave first......" In fact, he was really reluctant to leave, but he also knew that what Fang Cai's son said was not impossible to come true.

If Yongfu was really forced to be anxious and divorced him in a fit of rage, wouldn't he even have a name?

Huo Xiao naturally wouldn't keep him, stood up and bowed and said, "Father walks slowly, and my son won't send you." ”

In the days that followed, messages continued to come from all over the place.

General Huo's Northwest Army, the hundreds of thousands of cavalry of the Wanquan Division, and the Liaodong Division, and the hundreds of thousands of horses on Bayinsaihan's side were all ready for battle.

This time, Huo Xiao did not plan to go out in person, but served as the commander-in-chief for the first time, sitting in the Yamen of the Wanquan Division to personally coordinate the entire campaign.

After returning from Kaipingwei, Doudou still lived in the mansion of the commander of the capital.

Although the Wanquan Division is the wartime headquarters, it is actually very far away from the real battlefield, and there is hardly the slightest smoke of war.

Doudou can't interfere in the war, what she can do is to make some nourishing meals for Huo Xiao and Emperor Yongtai every day.

Of course, it is impossible to stay in the house obediently with her Doudou temperament, and she has to walk around the streets at least once a day.

On 12 September, a war that would determine the peace and tranquility of more than a dozen neighboring countries for decades to come finally began.

Wanquan Dusi was still very calm, and Doudou took Fat Mai Sui'er and Zhu Qiao'er to the market again as before.

However, at lunch time on this day, Huo Xiao, who was dealing with various military affairs in the capital, did not wait for the little daughter-in-law to cook the meal as before, but a very incredible news that made him feel very incredible.

- The lentil is missing.
