At the same time that the Jingcha Storm and the Frontier Storm unfolded together, Fang Shoushi became a very good candidate for saving the time that was acceptable in all aspects, and this candidate was reported by Shen Cheng and approved by Zhu Yijun.

However, Fang Shoushi himself was not happy because of his promotion, on the contrary, after getting the news, he seemed worried, and returned home without saying a word, just sitting in the study and thinking about something silently.

About dinner time, a man came to the room keeper's study.

"Dong Weng, are you looking for me?"

A neutral voice sounded, and Fang Shoushi raised his head and looked at the strange-looking middle-aged man in front of him with thick hair and big eyes.

"The rope is here, come, sit."

The room guard pointed to the chair in front of him and asked the middle-aged man to sit down.

"Thank you, Toon."

The middle-aged man Sun Chengzong thanked the Fang Shoushi, sat down steadily, and then spoke: "The two sons have done their homework very well today. ”

"Well, there is a childish rope, and with the talent of the childish rope, the old man is still at ease with the dog's studies."

Fang Shoushi smiled slightly, and then showed a worried look on his face: "Childish, the old man has just received an order from the Wenxuan Division. ”

"Appointment?"

Sun Chengzong was slightly stunned: "Where is the order?" ”

Fang Shoushi said in a low voice: "Governor Datong." ”

"Governor of Datong?"

Sun Chengzong was taken aback: "The war in Datong is still raging, the previous governor Mei Guozhen has just died, and the imperial court has asked Dong Weng to be the governor of Datong at this juncture, which is ......"

"Yes, the war in Datong is still unending, 500,000 northern captives, the situation is extremely urgent, the old man has many years of experience in border affairs, and he has led the army to win some military exploits, no, it was favored by Shen Ge Lao, Shen Ge Lao personally named the old man's name to His Majesty, His Majesty is also very satisfied with the old man, appointed as the governor of Datong, the old man is now impossible to refuse."

Fang Shoushi sighed: "Right now, the situation in Datong is not good, 500,000 northern captives are on the border, although there are Xiao Zhennan's troops on the defensive, but Datong has been occupied by northern captives for several months, and it has long been an adult's purgatory, I'm afraid that everything will have to start from scratch, if the old man goes, not to mention a thousand things, there is still a danger to his life......"

Fang Shoushi is not young, and he can't help but toss, he didn't want to agree, but he had to agree.

Sun Chengzong thought for a moment and said: "Dong Weng actually doesn't have to worry too much, as far as his subordinates know, Datong now has Xiao Zhennan's troops to guard it, Xiao Zhennan is a famous general, with him, at least he won't let the northern captives break into Datong, right?" ”

"It's hard to say."

Fang Shoushi said: "Although Xiao Zhennan is indeed a famous general of the country, but after all, it is 500,000 northern captives, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers who can fight, and the scale is so large that it has never been seen in decades since Jiajing, Datong has long been a scorched earth, and it is difficult to say what happened, let alone that Xiao Zhennan is still the governor, the governor of the four sides, and the boss of the old man." ”

Sun Chengzong understood why his Dongweng was so hesitant.

Fang Shoushi has been trained in the frontier, if you want to say fear, it shouldn't be, with Sun Chengzong's understanding of Fang Shoushi, Fang Shoushi will at least not be a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, the reason why he is so hesitant is probably that Xiao Ruxun's identity as a governor is causing trouble.

A sixty-year-old senior official, facing a young man who is only twenty-eight years old as his top boss, no matter how he thinks about it, he is a little embarrassed, not to mention that Xiao Ruxun is still a military general, a pure military general, the first military general governor of the dynasty, even though it is rare, but he is still a military general.

The innate psychological superiority of the literati made it difficult for their self-esteem to bear this situation.

After passing over, he had to bow to a young man who was about the same age as his grandson, how could the Fang Shoushi get through the hurdle in his heart?

It's easy to say if it's just a military general, but he is the position of the governor, a position that can only be held by a general, how do you let Fang Shoushi treat him?

Not to mention Fang Shoushi, Sun Chengzong himself may not be able to bear it, although he is now just a lifter, and the tutor Fang Shoushi invited for his son can be regarded as half of the staff, but the literati have their own dignity, not to mention that he is so much older.

This is a bit hard to accept.

"Dong Weng, actually, it doesn't have to be so uncomfortable."

Sun Chengzong analyzed it slightly, and said: "Xiao Zhennan is a noble general, it is only expedient to make an exception to be a governor at this time, the situation is too urgent, and Xiao Zhennan needs to turn the tide, as soon as this battle is over, how can the imperial court tolerate a military general to be a long-term governor?" Not to mention that Xiao Zhennan's prestige and fame are so great, as soon as he commands the army, the imperial court will have to worry about it for a day! ”

The room keeper pondered for a moment.

"What the young man said is reasonable, the old man also thinks so, as soon as the battle is over, Xiao Zhennan will inevitably go to work, but even so, before the battle is over, he is still the governor, and the old man still has to succumb to it, this is ......"

Sun Chengzong smiled.

"Dong Weng acts, has always been for the country and the people for the righteousness, just a small section, what a lot of worry, but a gesture, but a governor, and Xiao Zhennan has a very good reputation in the court, people who have worked with him say that he is sensible, understands etiquette, has followed the great Confucian study, and has been born in the door for many generations, not those illiterate reckless men can be compared, what should he do, the disciples believe, he understands in his heart."

Fang Shoushi felt that what Sun Chengzong said was reasonable.

"What's more, Xiao Zhennan has never lost a single battle since the Battle of Ningxia was born, and his achievements are impressive.

Fang Shoushi smiled and said: "In this case, Zhisheng is willing to go to Datong with the old man?" ”

"Yes, my subordinates will."

Sun Chengzong stood up and bowed: "Please also ask Dong Weng to agree!" ”

"Don't stay in the capital to study and prepare for exams?"

Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly: "Why does Dong Weng need to make fun of his subordinates? The second time, the subordinates have not tried the second time, and they are thirty-five years old, and they don't know how to face their relatives at home, and they don't know if there is a chance to be a Jinshi in this life. ”

Fang Shoushi stood up and walked in front of Sun Chengzong and patted Sun Chengzong on the shoulder.

"The young rope talent, the old man knows very well, don't care too much about the frustration of the science field for a while, the old man was also admitted to the Jinshi and lost in a row, lost and lost in a row, perseverance, and finally got the Jinshi in the year of not being confused, and the young rope is only thirty-five, why do you need to be vain?"

Sun Chengzong's eyes were hot, his nose was sore, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Thank you To-on......"

The pain of frustration in the field can no longer be understood by others, the doubts of his family, the difficulty of his livelihood, and the dashing of hope every time, all of which are beating Sun Chengzong's fragile self-esteem.

If it is a wealthy family, it is enough to take the examination to lift people, and you can stop, if you have no ambitions, it is enough to take the examination to lift people, since someone has thrown the field into the name, you can be a rich local gentry for a lifetime.

But Sun Chengzong didn't want to!

He has the ambition to serve the country, he is not willing to be a local gentry, he lives by exploiting the people and avoiding taxes, he wants to realize his ambitions.

The only person in the capital who admires him is the sixty-year-old man in front of him, if he is not there, there is no way out for him to stay in the capital.

Go home?

That wasn't his choice, and he would only be more embarrassed when he returned home.

So, let's go to Datong!
