The book is picked up again.

"What is the duty of the state pastor?" After hearing Li Zhidi's words, the Chen family leader's face changed, because the profession of the state pastor was only to shepherd and guard a state.

Although he can accept his orders, all appointments must be approved by the emperor.

Of course, this is in the era of peace, and in this era of war, all these states and counties belong to Cao Cao, so Cao Cao also wields the power of the emperor.

In other words, even if he got the position of Xuzhou pastor. When appointing and dismissing officials, Cao Cao's consent must also be obtained.

If Cao Cao didn't agree, then he couldn't appoint officials, which simply put a big lock on his authority!

He didn't even have to think about it to know that Cao Cao absolutely did not agree with him to install his henchmen in Xuzhou!

In this way, how can he rule Xuzhou?!

In other words, the appointment of this Xuzhou Mu is just a better title on his head, but the actual benefits are not at all, and the Jizhou Mu that the Yuan family got is simply far away!

After thinking of this, the head of the Chen family felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, and he said to Li Zhi with a sad and angry face: "Why does Luoyang Hou favor one over the other?

Couldn't the state pastor that Brother Yuan got just now arbitrarily appoint and dismiss the officials under his command? Why can't the old man do this? ”

"This is normal" After Li Zhi heard the words of the Chen family master, he said in a heartfelt manner: "He is the first meritorious, and the first merit certainly has some preferential treatment."

And you are just a second merit, you can get the position of Xuzhou Mu is already Brother Meng De's extra kindness, how can you ask for too much?!

If you don't want to, bring the appointment papers! ”

When it came to the end, Li Zhi stood up directly and stretched out his hand to grab the appointment paperwork.

Although the Chen family master was not satisfied with this appointment, his dissatisfaction was only compared to the Yuan family master.

If there was no appointment document from the head of the Yuan family, then he would have been so satisfied that he could not be more satisfied with the position of governor of a state.

Therefore, when he saw that Li Zhi wanted to take back the appointment paperwork, he subconsciously stuffed the appointment document into his arms, and then used the last two cloths as fast as he could, because he retreated too fast, and he almost fell.

However, they didn't care about this, but patted the appointment paper on their chests with palpitations,

Although he was complaining just now, he attached great importance to this appointment document, because it was the hope of their whole family's rise!

Moreover, now, he has also accepted his fate!

Since you have missed the opportunity to get the first merit, it is not bad to be able to get the second merit and get a state pastor.

Therefore, he immediately saluted Li Zhi and said, "What did Luoyang Hou say!"

The old man was just a little puzzled in his heart just now, so he asked, not because he was dissatisfied with the appointment of Luoyang Hou.

The old man was very satisfied with the position of Xuzhou pastor, so there was no need to change other appointments. ”

Having said that, his gaze at the Yuan family master was full of deep dissatisfaction.

Because in his opinion, his Chen family has already paid for the eldest son, and he should have received the first credit, but it was because of the Yuan family's obstruction that he let the Chen family and Jizhou miss each other, this hatred, the Chen family wrote it down!

"Humph!" After Li Zhi saw the hatred in the eyes of the Chen family master, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, but then, he was afraid of others

When he found something unusual, he pretended to be dissatisfied, snorted coldly, and said: "Even if you know each other, if you continue to be unrelenting, then Benhou will definitely deprive you of the position of state pastor, so that you will return in vain!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Zhi shook his head with an irritated face and said, "Okay, don't talk this nonsense, let's hurry up and reward the next one." ”

Just after Li Zhidi's words settled, the head of the Zhou family walked over unhurriedly, and after bowing respectfully to Li Zhidi, he said, "The old man has seen the Marquis of Luoyang.

Although the Zhou family where the old decay is located has a little merit, they dare not be proud of their achievements.

If the Marquis of Luoyang wants to reward any official position, he will reward whatever official position, even if it is a small official, the old man will have no opinion! ”

After finishing speaking, the head of the Zhou family straightened up, stood beside Li Zhi with his hands down, lowered his head, and said nothing.

"......" The words of the Zhou family master made everyone in the entire hall full of surprise, they didn't expect the Zhou family master to withdraw from this family's gluttonous feast at this time.

And there are many small family heads who support the Zhou family, and they are even more anxious at this time.

They followed the head of the Zhou family in order to fight for a better future.

In other words, if the Zhou family is good, their small families can be good, if the Zhou family falls, then their small families will also fall, unless they change their doors now!

But none of the little family owners who had seen the methods of the Zhou family master dared to make this proposal!

Therefore, the honor and disgrace of their family are all tied to the head of the Zhou family, and of course they hope that the head of the Zhou family can be in a high position.

Now that the head of the Zhou family has given up his official position, they are very anxious and puzzled.

But when they saw that the head of the Zhou family was silent, they knew that the head of the Zhou family had made up his mind, so although they were anxious, they could only endure it.

After being silent for a while, the head of the Yuan family on the side of "Brother Zhou......" looked at the expressionless head of the Zhou family and said, "Don't be rash at this time!" ”

The head of the Yuan family thought that the head of the Zhou family was angry with him, so he was angry and didn't want an official position.

After all, it was he who took down the position of the Zhou family's second merit just now and gave it to the Chen family as a gift, and now it is reasonable for the head of the Zhou family to be angry.

However, the Yuan family master confirmed that the Zhou family master should not be angry at this time.

Even if you get a county guard, it's better than nothing!

At this time, isn't gambling just losing the interests of your own family in vain?!

And the Yuan family and the Zhou family are allies, at this time, the head of the Zhou family got an official position, and there was no conflict of interest with the Yuan family, so the head of the Yuan family kindly reminded him.

"Brother Yuan, please rest assured, the old man is not angry." After glancing at the head of the Yuan family with an inexplicable expression, the head of the Zhou family turned his head and said to Li Zhi seriously: "Although the Marquis of Luoyang is rewarded, no matter what kind of position he is, he will accept it!" ”

"......" Li Zhi, who was pretending to be drunk, heard the words of the Zhou family master, his pupils shrank, and then he nodded silently.

After nodding, he worked the paper, and after a while, he finished writing a letter of appointment and handed it to the head of the Zhou family.

After the head of the Zhou family took the letter of appointment, he hurriedly looked at it.

After looking at it for a while, he suddenly nodded with a smile and said: "Luoyang Hou is worthy of being Luoyang Hou, this appointment is fair and just, very much in line with the old man's heart, thank you Luoyang Hou."

”

After hearing the words of the head of the Zhou family, the head of the Yuan family on the side frowned tightly, and said, "Brother Zhou, can you give the appointment letter to the old man?" ”

"Why not?" When the Zhou family master heard the words of the Yuan family master, he did not hesitate after speaking, and immediately handed the appointment letter in his hand to the Yuan family master.

After the head of the Yuan family took the letter of appointment, he immediately looked at it carefully.

This look surprised him, not so much because the official position appointed in the appointment letter was, but because it was too small!

I saw that this appointment letter only made a few outstanding descendants of the Zhou family as county orders, and the others were nothing, even the head of the Zhou family, the head of the family, was not appointed!

After reading it, he handed back the letter of appointment to the head of the Zhou family with a complicated face, and asked, "Brother Zhou, are you really satisfied with this letter of appointment?" ”

"Of course I am satisfied!" When the head of the Zhou family heard this, he immediately nodded with a smile and said, "Those who are satisfied can't be more satisfied, the old man's background is the most satisfying time at this time!" ”

When he said this, the head of the Zhou family groaned slightly, glanced at the head of the Yuan family deeply, and said meaningfully: "Brother Yuan, as an ally, the old man reminds you that you should not be satisfied with the appointment documents in your hand now!" ”

"Ahem!!" Just after the words of the head of the Zhou family settled, Li Zhi seemed to be choked by tea, and put the tea cup in his hand on the table.

Then, he stared at the head of the Zhou family with drunken eyes, and asked the head of the Zhou family with puzzlement, "What does the head of the Zhou family mean by this?" Could it be that the Yuan family deserves a higher official position?

But Ben Hou has already given him the position of state pastor, and he, the state pastor, can also reward the officials under his rule at will, which is already a great reward!

If he is promoted again, then won't he have to replace Brother Meng De? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! The old decay has no such intention, and Luoyang Hou is too careful. After hearing Li Zhidi's words, the head of the Zhou family changed his face, and then apologized again and again.

After apologizing, the head of the Zhou family straightened up, smiled bitterly, and said, "There are too many things that happened today, which made the old man exhausted, so that his thinking was confused, so he said the foolish words just now."

If Luoyang Hou didn't have anything else to do, the old man would leave first. ”

"Go, go, go" After Li Zhi heard this, his face was full of impatience, as if he was chasing flies, he waved his hand, and said: "Since you are tired, go back quickly, don't talk nonsense like this in the future!" ”

"The old man must remember the good words of the Marquis of Luoyang!" After the head of the Zhou family reached Li Zhidi's words, he nodded seriously.

Then, after a second salute, he slowly exited the hall.

After he exited the hall, he turned around and looked at the people who were still in the hall, sneered, and muttered to himself: "A group of fish and flesh people in the bureau, the danger of life and death is not even aware of it at the moment, it is really pitiful!" ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly laughed, shook his head, and laughed at himself: "What does this have to do with the old man?" Since they have given up on the old man, then don't blame the old man for giving up on them! ”

After finishing speaking, the head of the Zhou family was full of lightness, and walked towards Cao Cao's mansion gate with brisk steps.

After the head of the Zhou family left, the hall returned to the chaos just now.

One by one, the heads of the families stepped forward and told them all the positions they had chosen in their hearts.

And Li Zhi did not refuse, no matter what position they said, Li Zhi waved his pen - agreed!
