It's night

The celebration banquet has ended, and everyone went back to their homes, leaving only the three giants of the county government, the county order Hua Wenzheng, the county Cheng Menggong, and the county lieutenant Huang Dahu came to a hall of the back office to discuss matters.

The back office room

Entering the room, Meng and Huang sat down under the greeting of the host Hua Wenzheng, and two handsome maids came in from outside the door to bring hot tea, respectfully put it in the hands of the three bigwigs, and then gently retreated.

After all the irrelevant people in the room left, Hua Wenzheng picked up the tea cup, blew the hot air, and then took a sip of tea, looked at Meng Huang and Meng Huang, who were sitting on the left and right, and smiled faintly.

"Today, the official left two of them because he has important matters to discuss with you."

If it were in the past, as soon as Hua Wenzheng opened his mouth here, Huang Dahu, who intended to please him over there, would be very eye-catching to accept his following, and even sometimes took the initiative to give Hua Wenzheng a word to facilitate his long speech.

Often at this time, most of the county Cheng Menggong next to him is out of the way, smiling at the situation and being his own transparent person with peace of mind.

But the situation in this room today is very different!

may be vaguely aware of what Hua Wenzheng wants to say, Huang Dahu is dissatisfied, let Hua Wenzheng speak, he himself sat firmly in his seat, without the slightest intention of answering, but Meng Xiancheng, who has been a transparent person next to him, came out with a smile this time to do Hua County's order.

"If the county lord has any ideas, just say it, the two officials will definitely look forward to the adults."

Hearing this, Hua Wenzheng didn't do anything, and Huang Dahu, who was sitting opposite Meng Gong, frowned, but he didn't open his mouth to refute anything, but his eyes became colder and colder when he looked at Meng Gong.

This old thing, it's really against Lao Tzu today.........

………

The little dirty between Meng and Huang, Hua Wenzheng didn't care, he was happy that the two of them were fighting more and more fiercely, it was best for the two of them to break their heads and reap the benefits of the fisherman by themselves.

Even if it weren't for the fact that there was something serious today, Hua Wenzheng would want to arch the fire for the two of them now.

Unfortunately, it's important to get down to business!

Coughing twice, the attention of Meng and Huang returned to his body, Hua Wenzheng put down the tea cup in his hand and stroked the black beard under his chin.

"Today's victory, the Yamen hit the bandits of Heifengling hard, and the second leader of the bandits, Ye Yunfan, was ambushed, and more than 200 minions were captured, which boosted the morale of my Qingyuan officials and people, congratulations."

As soon as these words came out, no matter what Meng Huang and the others thought in their hearts, they had to drink solemnly together at this time.

"Congratulations!"

Hua Wenzheng nodded with satisfaction, and said: "In this battle, the militia regiment has made great contributions to Yan Kui, and this official intends to reward him." ”

Hearing this, Huang Dahu, who had been pretending to be dumb since he entered the door, finally raised his head: "How does the county want to reward Yan Kui." ”

Hua Wenzheng glanced at Huang Dahu, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "This time Luo Patrol died in battle, the position of this southern inspection is vacant, after all, the militia group training is only a white body, and this official intends to recommend Yan Kui to the Fucheng side to replace the position of southern inspection." ”

The position of inspection is in the ninth grade, and he is the smallest military attache in the Northern Jin Dynasty, with Yan Kui's merits, coupled with Hua Wenzheng's recommendation, it is never a problem for him to hold this position, and Huang Dahu does not have too much objection to this, after all, an inspection does not pose any threat to him.

It's just that County Lieutenant Huang thought of a possibility, his face changed slightly, and he asked Hua Wenzheng in a deep voice: "If Yan Kui takes the position of southern inspection, who should be in command of the militia group." ”

It seems that he had expected Huang Dahu to ask this question, Hua Wenzheng replied with a smile: "Don't bother the two masters, Yan Kui of the militia is practicing well, he can take up the inspection while also practicing the militia group, anyway, this regimental training does not belong to the official position of the imperial court, and Yan Kui has no obstacle to the court law." ”

……

airplanes

Looking at Hua Wenzheng who was smiling, Huang Dahu only felt a burst of qi and blood surge, and went straight to his head, and Hua Wenzheng's face instantly became hateful in his eyes.

The surname Hua is the one who holds Yan Kui!

Huang Dahu's heart was uncertain, his face full of horizontal flesh trembled slightly, and when he saw it familiarly, he must know that he was really angry.

It's no wonder that Huang Dahu reacted so much, whether Yan Kui formed a militia group before, now Hua Wenzheng wants him to take over the post of southern inspector, if Yan Kui only accepts one of them, with the power that has been operating in Qingyuan for many years, Huang Dahu is confident to suppress Yan Kui.

But if Yan Kui is holding two positions, it will be different, the militia group, the Southern Inspection Department, one official and one citizen, add up to six or seven hundred people, and they can already be regarded as a force that can affect the Qingyuan situation.

And the most important thing is that Yan Kui has two of the three, and Huang Dahu can barely suppress it, but if Yan Kui has all three, he really has the strength to argue with him.

Don't forget, Yan Kui still has Hua Wenzheng as a backer behind him, and Zhang Wei of the East Inspection Department of Bali Town also owes Yan Kui a big favor.

No, you can't let Yan Kui be in the position of this southern inspection.

Huang Dahu, who was originally jealous because of Yan Kui's previous achievements, suddenly found that the most important emotion he should have at this time was vigilance.

Be wary of the rise of Yan Kui.........

…………

Of course, although he deliberately suppressed Yan Kui, Huang Dahu was not completely carried away.

After all, now on the surface, he and Yan Kui are still like "brothers" in a family, and even some people regard them as allies, and after a chaotic battle, Huang Dahu feels that Yan Kui is indeed a good hand at suppressing bandits, and his own efforts to suppress bandits are likely to rely on Yan Kui, so suppression is suppression, and Huang Dahu does not want to tear his face with Yan Kui.

It's just that Huang Dahu not only wants to maintain a good relationship with Yan Kui, but also hopes to be able to suppress Yan Kui quietly and prevent him from threatening him.

Huang Dahu pondered for a long time with a face, and didn't come up with a specific charter.

However, there is one point, Hua Wenzheng's proposal for Yan Kui to succeed Luo Wenqiang was blocked by Huang Dahu on the grounds that Luo Wenqiang had died and it was not good to appoint a newcomer too quickly.

Hua Wenzheng wanted to help Yan Kui ascend to the throne, but Huang Dahu desperately found an excuse to dismantle the stage, and the two sides were at a stalemate with each other, so they looked at the county Cheng Menggong.

But Meng Gong, an old fox, how could he touch this hot yam, let him give Huang Dahu a painless little stumbling block, and now when he saw this big controversy, the old thing immediately returned to "normal", pretending to be old and dizzy, only watching the show, not mixing.

Hua Wenzheng and Huang Dahu expressed their opinions and argued with each other, and finally the three giants broke up unhappily.

However, Huang Dahu's goal can be regarded as having been achieved, and Yan Kui's appointment of the Southern Inspector was temporarily delayed, allowing him to free up time to think about countermeasures.

………

After Huang Meng and the others left, Hua Xian Ling turned back to his bedroom and sat on the soft collapse with an unhappy face.

After Master Xin sent Huang Dahu and the others away on behalf of Hua Wenzheng, he came to the bedroom and saw Hua Wenzheng like this, and couldn't help but ask carefully: "Dong Weng, things are not going well." ”

Hua Wenzheng nodded dejectedly: "Huang Dahu doesn't agree to this matter, he is powerful in the county government, and the official can't make a decision, the matter is deadlocked." ”

Master Xin nodded, and tapped his right hand: "This student has expected it, after all, judging from all indications, this Huang County Lieutenant is very sensitive to his position and power in Qingyuan, Dong Weng's plan is undoubtedly against the scales, and it is strange that he does not strongly oppose it." ”

Hua Wenzheng frowned: "How can this be good, this official is trying to take advantage of this to win Lian Kui over in one fell swoop, besides, Yan Kui has made such a great contribution, and if he doesn't reward him heavily, who will work hard for the yamen in the future?"

If the matter of the southern inspection has been dragged by Huang Dahu, what will Yan Kui's official do to appease him. ”

"Don't be in a hurry."

Master Xin has long been in his hands: "This matter is simple, Dong Weng can send someone to tell Yan Kui all about the southern inspection, first, to drive a wedge between him and Huang Dahu, and secondly, to show Dong Weng's sincerity in seeking talent." ”

"Wonderful."

Hua Wenzheng praised it, and then looked at Master Xin: "I'm not at ease if this matter is handed over to others, you can go for it yourself, remember, be kind to Yan Kui." ”

"Students understand." Master Xin nodded yes.

…………

Here, Xianghua Wenzheng and Master Xin are plotting against Huang Dahu, but they don't want Huang Dahu to dominate the green forest for so many years, how can he leave such a big handle.

His front foot went out of the county office, and the back foot went to the militia camp, and the smiling Tong Yan Kui "put his heart into his heart", and after taking precautions in advance, Huang Dahu went satisfied.

Master Xin wants to take the opportunity to provoke, but he is definitely stealing chickens and rice............

Of course, this is based on Yan Kui's lack of understanding of the purpose of both parties.

In fact, after seeing off Master Xin, who came overnight, Yan Kui compared the statements of the two sides with each other, and roughly guessed the specific experience.

Neither of them is a good gentleman, they are all taking advantage of themselves.

However, putting aside everything else, after understanding the situation, Yan Kui was really a little interested in Hua Wenzheng's proposal to take over the official position.

It doesn't matter if the inspection is improper, the main thing is that Yan Kui wants to get an official body that is honest and recognized by the imperial court, which will be very helpful to him in the future.

It's just that Yan Kui doesn't want to get in trouble with Huang Dahu because of this, it's not that he's afraid of Huang Dahu, but Yan Kui's goal is to suppress the bandits, if he breaks with Huang Dahu, this guy will take advantage of Yan Kui's time to make trouble for him, with Huang Dahu's power in Qingyuan, Yan Kui really can't settle it in a day or two.

Tsk, if only there was a way to get the best of both worlds.........

………

March 12

Qingyuan County North Qingshi Gang

Yan Kui took Gong Fa and other captains and deputies, together with more than 100 militiamen, to bury the thirteen militiamen who died in the battle.

The rest of the militia had their families brought home and buried, only these thirteen militiamen, because most of them were alone, so they had to be sent by Yan Kui.

Gently poured the wine in the bowl on the ground, Yan Kui's face was a little solemn: "Brothers have a fight with me, and now I have died in battle, it can be regarded as selling my life to Yan Kui, what is unsatisfactory underground, give me a dream, I will do it for you if you can." ”

After that, Yan Kui dropped the bowl and bowed to the tomb in front of him: "Brothers, have a good trip." ”

Behind Yan Kui, Gong Fa, Chen Xingxiao, Liu Mao, He Chun and a group of militiamen also bowed and cheered together.

"Have a nice trip."

Suddenly, the breeze in Qingshigang was blowing, as if the thirteen heroic spirits in the tomb were responding to Yan Kui and the others............
