Chapter 42

"This Ye Zhao really refuses to eat at all." Xiangfu, Zhou Jing's study, after seeing Qiu Chi early in the morning, looked at the letter sent by Ye Zhao, shook his head and smiled.

"What did Ye Yuanjun say?" Seeing that Zhou Jing was in a good mood, the master asked curiously.

"See for yourself." Zhou Jing handed the bamboo note in his hand to the master book: "Count him interesting." ”

"This ......" looked at Ye Zhao's letter, the main book looked at Zhou Jing blankly, Ye Zhao wrote a lot of words, but there were some polite words on it, how could he not see anything wrong.

"Look at the last sentence." Zhou Jing said helplessly.

"This merit is not something Zhao can bear, I am willing to dedicate it to the monarch of the house, as a qualification for promotion, I hope that the monarch of the mansion can show the details to the court, and Ye Zhao will worship it!" The master book suddenly looked at Zhou Jing and said, "Is this asking for benefits from the prince?" Share this merit? ”

"Taiping Sect matters, before I took office, Brother Wen had already mentioned some things to me, but I never thought that it would be so big, and there were people in my prime minister's mansion who were involved." Zhou Jing slapped the table and said: "This matter is very important, I should personally play the court and talk about the Taiping Sect." ”

"Then how does the lord want to settle that Ye Zhao?" The main book frowned and said, Ye Zhao had already stated in his letter that this merit was dedicated to Zhou Jing, since it was dedicated to Zhou Jing, there would naturally be no Ye Zhao's name in the merit book, but Ye Zhao is now Suiyang Ling, and with Zhou Jing's authority, it is impossible to promote higher official positions.

"I heard that when Ye Zhao was in Youzhou, he was quite brave?" Zhou Jing thought for a moment and then said.

"Not bad." When the lord said this, he couldn't help but admire: "When this person was in the northern Xinjiang, he ran Macheng, made Macheng jump to Wanhu County, and when he defended the army in the back town, Xianbei Qianshan came to attack, seized Macheng, killed the people, Ye Zhao led his troops to attack, not only annihilated and even 8,000 troops, but also went deep into the grassland, and hit the Mica Department hard, making the area of Danhan Mountain now a three-legged situation. ”

"Then I will ask the court and ask him to be the captain." Zhou Jing said with a smile.

Qin and the beginning of the Han Dynasty, each county will set up a county lieutenant, rank ratio of two thousand stones, in charge of a county military, Emperor Jing changed its name to Du Wei, but now, the military power is more concentrated, such as Youzhou, where soldiers are frequent, will be specially set up to protect the Wuhuan captain fire to protect the Huns Captain and other official positions, in charge of a state military, the rights of the captain will be controlled by these people, but in the Central Plains, the county soldiers will suppress bandits at most, naturally there is no need to protect the Wuhuan captain is responsible for the coordination of troops and horses, so the restrictions of the captain will be less, but the strength of the troops will not be too much.

Youzhou and other war-prone places, the total strength is only six schools, the Central Plains, the entire Yuzhou is only two schools, a county lieutenant is naturally less, Liang Guo is a heavy land, the commander of the commander will have more troops, but it is only one that is to say four hundred people, although it is the same level as Taishou, but in fact, in the Central Plains, a peaceful place, the captain is far less than Taishou's power.

Zhou Jing also considered that he might have to send troops to suppress the Taiping Sect in the future, so he hoped that Ye Zhao, a person who had fought with the Hu people in Youzhou, would assist him.

Counting it up, this captain is about the same as Ye Zhao's cavalry captain at the beginning, but the people and horses he can command are much worse.

"That Suiyang Ling ......" The master bookkeeper said with a little headache, Ye Zhao's reputation in Suiyang has now been opened, whether it is among the people or among the gentry, Ye Zhao's words are even more effective than Zhou Jing, the minister of state.

When Zhou Jing heard this, he snorted, obviously thinking of this question, and said unhappily: "This matter is decided by the imperial court, and before the imperial edict comes down, isn't he still in charge?" He is a high-ranking disciple of Cai Weng, and he has meritorious deeds, so it is impossible to be a Suiyang Commander for the rest of his life anyway. ”

Thinking of Ye Zhao's career, Zhou Jing felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he had survived to the position of Liang Guoxiang, I don't know how many years it took me, but what about Ye Zhao? I'm afraid it won't take three years, and it won't be possible to run away as a Taishou in a rich county like Liang Guo, and the most important thing is that Ye Zhao is too young, just in the year of the weak crown, and his future career can really be described as promising.

"If this time can confirm that the Taiping Sect is plotting against each other, the lord will soon enter the court." The master bookkeeper smiled.

"Maybe, but the matter is not yet decided, and more things need to be prying out of that Liang Fa's mouth." Zhou Jing said a little proudly.

"I heard that Ye Zhijun also had a lot of experience in interrogation, and he didn't get a lot of secrets from that Liang Fa's mouth before he was executed yesterday, so it was better to ......" The master bookkeeper moved in his heart and offered advice.

"Ridiculous!" When Zhou Jing heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly: "I just brought someone from him, and then I changed hands and asked him to go to trial, if this is spread out, wouldn't it tell the world that I am incompetent?" Could it be that I am a dignified and talented person, and I can't compare to one Ye Zhao? ”

"Humble words!" The main bookkeeper's face turned pale, and he hurriedly said, on a whim, he forgot the temperament of his lord.

"I heard that this Suiyang's jailer is clever, tell them that no matter what the means, as long as they can dig out the truth from that Liang Fa's mouth, this official will be rewarded!" Zhou Jing snorted coldly and said, don't say that he doesn't know what means Ye Zhao used, even if he knows, he doesn't bother to follow suit, is it a prisoner, how can there be no punishment.

"Obedience." The master hurriedly agreed, and then remembered something: "Then Ma An's case, can it be closed?" ”

Qiu Chi came over yesterday, mainly because he wanted to end the case between Ma An and Zhang, but he was suppressed by Zhou Jing, and since Ye Zhao had already sent Liang today, Ma An was naturally insignificant, and Ye Zhao also expressed in the letter that he hoped to end the case as soon as possible.

"According to his words, after three days, the Zhang family will be beheaded, and Ma An will be exiled with fifty rods for the crime of being an accomplice." Zhou Jing nodded, the sensation caused by this matter has passed, what to say about public opinion and other things is actually a reproach, now that Ye Zhao knows the interest, he can't hold it down anymore, so he nodded happily.

"Then the lowly will be arraigned." The master bookkeeper bowed down and agreed, said goodbye and left, and went to write the paperwork, and this matter was also over.
