On the 15th day of August, although the Qin people did not celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, they also had the habit of "nourishing the aging in the mid-autumn moon and eating porridge".

The woman was busy with the woman's business, and Heifu and Nei Shi Teng were talking about chess in the main hall, but both of them were like Yi Qiu's unsuccessful apprentices, playing chess was just a disguise, and their minds were all on the Honghu in the sky, thinking of the bow and shooting......

"The woman thinks that I must be transferred?"

When he heard Nesten mention that generally speaking, once the title is promoted to the three levels of "left, middle, and right", it is the turn of the county magistrate to be released, Heifu immediately pricked up his ears, this is a matter of future choice.

It's a pity that the choice is not in his hands, but in the emperor.

"Having said that, but your position and where you are going, the old man can also guess a rough idea."

As an old fritter in the officialdom, Nesten began to teach Heifu tirelessly.

"If it is placed before unification, it is an unwritten rule that the left and right chiefs are the county lieutenants, and the left, center, and right are the county guards. But since His Majesty swept the Six Kingdoms, the soldiers have made many military exploits, and there have been several collective knighthoods, General Wang has become a liehou, Meng Wu, Wang Ben, and Feng Wuxue have also become the marquis of Guannei, and the marquis has so much, and the lower titles are not as valuable as before. Today's left, center, and right watchmen can only be the county lieutenant, or the county guard of the remote border counties in the south. ”

Heifu thought about it, and it was true, his old boss Li You was promoted to the middle guard because of the rebellion of the Yue people in Dongting County, who was in charge of Changsha County last year, and now he is at the same level as himself, and his deputy, Changsha County Lieutenant Tu Ju, is the left guard......

"I heard rumors in the court that a new county will be established in the land of Yuzhang in the south of the Jiujiang River, and seven counties including Nanchang will be under its jurisdiction, will I be transferred to Yuzhang?"

But after asking, Heifu himself denied this idea: "Impossible, the county magistrates of Yuzhang are all my old township party, even if I have the merit of saving the driver, Your Majesty will not make a taboo and let the local party breed." ”

If Qin Shi Huang intended to attack Baiyue in the south, Heifu might have been sent to the south to lead the army, but now, it is the westward expansion that is more preferred......

However, after Gao gradually left the case, Qin Shi Huang showed his anger at the "ugliness of the Six Kingdoms", in the past month, there have been several large personnel appointments, all the county guards and county captains of Julu County have been replaced, and the emperor also issued an edict to apply for the county guards and lieutenants, not to be too tolerant of the remnants of the six countries under his rule, the speed of unifying the script should be accelerated, and the immigration of the Kwantung counties must also be grasped, Qin Shi Huang has decided to increase the intensity of "weak branches and strong cadres", and it is not impossible for Heifu to be sent to Kanto.

Nesteng put Heifu at ease: "Although Meng Tian, Qiang, Li Xin and others have more or less put forward suggestions to open up the northwest, but it is still you Heifu who summarizes it as one, and now Your Majesty is trying to open up territory in the west, but you are far away to the east and south, this is not a way to praise meritorious heroes, Your Majesty will not be like this." ”

He guessed: "The place where you will serve will not exceed Longxi, Beidi, Shangjun, and Yunzhong!" ”

"There is already Li Xin in Longxi."

Heifu muttered: "Li Xin has always been His Majesty's most trusted general in the past, although he has been neglected for several years, but when His Majesty toured the west, he still regarded him as a favorite general, Li Xin was also ashamed and brave, he was familiar with the situation in Longxi, loved by his subordinates, opened up Taoxi, built a Han Sai, and controlled Qiangrong. Last month, I was promoted to the middle guard by His Majesty's merit, and it seems that there is no place for me in Longxi. ”

However, except for Longxi, there have been personnel changes in several other places recently: the old guards and lieutenants have been ordered to step down in October, but the new candidates have not yet been decided.

This gave Hef hope.

"Is it possible...... Upper County? He asked.

Shangjun is in the north of the internal history, equivalent to the northern Shaanxi region of later generations, originally the pasture of the Bai Zhai people, during the Warring States Period, Wu Qi seized the West River for Wei Wenhou, and served Bai Zhai in the north, and set up the upper county.

Shangjun because of its strategic location, has been a place of contention between Wei and Qin, Qin Huiwen King ten years, Qin and Wei military conflicts, Qin defeated Wei, Wei Na Shangjun fifteen counties in Qin, since then, Shangjun has been returned to Qin. At present, the governance of Shangjun is in Fushi, that is, the area of Yulin and Suide in later generations.

When it comes to Shangjun, Heifu's eyes lit up, in his opinion, Shangjun is undoubtedly his best place, first of all, Shangjun is not far from Xianyang, once there is something, he can rush back after galloping for a few days, not far from the center.

Secondly, Shangjun is the next three years, the forefront of Qin's war against the Xiongnu, and it is easier to make military achievements.

Third, and most importantly, the "Northern Army" of the Qin Dynasty, which was often referred to in later generations, was the main force of the Shangjun guards. If he can go to Shangjun, he will lay the foundation in the northern army early. Coupled with the previous foundation in the Nanjun Township Party, even if the world changes in the future, the choice has also fallen back into the hands of Heifu, at least self-protection is not a problem.

However, Nesten only smiled lightly, and a few words made Heifu deflated.

"Upper County? You don't deserve it yet! ”

He taught his son-in-law: "Shangjun is a place of beauty, and the military state is important, once something happens, Xianyang will lose the largest and strongest barrier against the enemy." Your Majesty can only be guarded by old ministers, how can you let a young man go? ”

Hefu is indeed young, turning 26 in November.

Title and ability do not mean everything, there is also seniority, when Qin Shi Huang decided to use troops against the Xiongnu, he could be the county guard, and he had to be at the level of Nei Shi Teng.

"Now that there are several generals, Wang Jian is old, and his merits have reached the top, and it is impossible to be of great use. Meng Wu was riddled with illness and could not recuperate at home. Wang Ben had to guard several counties in Qidi, and he couldn't get out. Feng Wuxuan wanted to defend Huainan Jiangdong, and he could not take office. Although Meng Tian has the opportunity, he still thinks that his qualifications are too shallow. “

Meng Tian was too shallow, and Heifu had to stand aside.

After calculating it, only the big Shang Qiang fistula remains.

"Qiang is a native of Jingyang, Beidi County, and it is impossible for him to take office in the same place, so it is very likely that Qiang is the county guard!"

"What about the captain......" Heifu was still a little unwilling.

Neshi Teng glanced at him: "Even if you become a county captain, you have to look up to the old Qiang snort, what can you do?" ”

Ye Teng is a local official and understands a truth very well: one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers! Although nominally the county guard is upright, in charge of the law and civil affairs, the county lieutenant is the deputy and is in charge of the military. However, the power of the county guards is too great, especially the county guards of the border counties, and there are not a few who personally lead the troops to the battle.

"The kind of civil servant who was born in Longxi County can only let Li Xin lead the troops to expand the border, but Qiang is different, he was born as a military general, has a strong personality, and will definitely monopolize power and squeeze the county lieutenant aside, and the person chosen by His Majesty to be the county lieutenant is purely gold-plated...... And you, Your Majesty is counting on you to do things! ”

The gilding is also very good, Heifu is very helpless, at the level of Qing, he is young and suffers.

He arched his hand: "I wonder who the captain will be?" ”

Neshi Teng said firmly: "The son of the imperial historian Feng Quji, Feng Zheng!" ”

……

Within a few days, Qin Shi Huang ordered the prime minister and the imperial historian to agree on the new candidates for each county guard and lieutenant, and it was inseparable from the eight or nine predicted by Nei Shi Teng:

"Da Shang Zao Qiang Qi was promoted to Shangjun Shou, Zhong Geng Feng Jing was promoted to Shangjun Captain, and Shao Shang Zao Meng Tian led the military affairs of Yunzhong, Daijun, and Yanmen ...... three counties"

And the black man was also placed in the only vacant place:

"Zhonggen Heifu, the lieutenant of the Northland!"

After being ordered to retreat from the court, about this result, Nesten said to Heifu:

"Although the northern land is not as good as Longxi and Shangjun, it is also one of the three counties of Kansai, according to your suggestions for westward expansion, whether it is to the west or to the north, there is a lot to be done, this is what Your Majesty hopes you can make ...... results."

"Heff saved."

Heifu was quite satisfied, and the county lieutenant was more than 2,000 stones, and he could be regarded as fulfilling the promise he made when he came to Xianyang the year before.

Beidi County is not far from Xianyang, and there is a Huizhong Road connected, the traffic is not worse than the Shangjun that has not repaired the straight road, but even if it is the junction of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningbo in later generations, it is also a relatively backward area economically, not to mention the Qin period? The local Huarong miscellaneous places, life is not very easy, he is going to take his family to work this time, I am afraid that he will have to suffer his wife.

As soon as he thought of this, he asked Nei Shi Teng for advice: "For the captain of the northern land, what should I pay attention to, and I hope that the woman will teach!" ”

Nesteng stroked his grayer and whiter beard: "I don't have anything to give you, so I'll give you three words." ”

As he spoke, he laid out hemp paper on the desk and wrote it down with a pen.

The first word is "Huarong".

The second word is "Wushi".

The third word, but he didn't write it down for a long time, let the attendants and maidservants all go out, and only after closing the door did he put it down.

Heifu looked at it, but it was the word "emperor heart......

Weng sons-in-law are all smart people, and the meaning of the three words does not need to be elaborated, but they are already understood

"Hefu takes it to heart!"

As he spoke, Hefu was going to get three pieces of paper, intending to ponder them on the way.

Unexpectedly, Ne Shi Teng slapped the piece of paper with "Emperor Heart" written on it, raised his head, looked at Heifu, and said coldly:

"My son-in-law, the close minister of the forbidden middle school who has a grudge against you, could it be Zhao Gao, the commander of the CRRC Mansion?"
