In the county office, Su Hanzhen invited his father and Wujin to go to his courtroom, and came in all the way, but Wujin didn't see Sima Zhao Jiehao's shadow, and couldn't help but ask strangely: "Second uncle, isn't Sima Zhao in the palace?" ”

"You don't know?"

Su Hanzhen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Zhao Jiehao has been promoted to the assassin of Beihai County, which happened in November last year. ”

Huangfu Wujin only knew that Xu Yuan was transferred away, but he didn't know that Zhao Jiehao was also transferred, in fact, he didn't have any impression of Zhao Jiehao, he was a little concerned about whether Zhao Shengnan was married? However, this is not easy to ask in front of Su Xun, it will give people a frivolous feeling.

"I've been busy since I came back, and I don't have time to ask, I always feel that something is missing in the yamen."

"Missing Zhao Sima's loud voice!"

Su Hanzhen smiled, "As soon as he left, he felt quite lonely." ”

He took his father and Wu Jin into his room, as soon as they entered the room, one of them came to deliver the paperwork, Wu Jin was stunned, he knew, it was Wei Ming's brother-in-law Qi Pei, Qi Pei also recognized Wu Jin, but he didn't hurry to salute first, and presented a document to Su Hanzhen, "My lord, this is last year's tax revenue and expenditure, it has been sorted out, please take a look." ”

"Good! I took a look. ”

Su Hanzhen nodded, and was about to introduce his father and Wujin to him, but Qi Pei bowed down and gave Su Xun a salute first, "Student Qi Pei, Donghai County Gongjushi, see Lord Sacrificial Wine!" ”

He saluted Wu Jin again, "See His Royal Highness King Liang!" ”

Su Hanzhen smiled at her father and said: "This is Wei Ming's brother-in-law, and he is also the head of our Donghai County, and the son of Qi Kaifu. ”

Su Xun and Qi Kaifu had a good relationship, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he smiled and said: "It turned out to be the son of Brother Qi, then he is not an outsider, how is your father's health?" ”

"Master Hui Sacrificial Wine, my father is in good health, and he is now teaching at the county school."

"Hmmm! I'm going to see him tomorrow, I haven't seen him for more than ten years, I'm so confused, how can I forget my old friend. ”

Su Xun smiled, turned back to Wu Jin and said, "Wu Jin, this Qi should be your relative!" ”

Wu Jin nodded with a smile and asked him again, "Brother Qi, how is Qi Sheng now?" ”

"He's okay now! He worked in Luojing. ”

Qi Pei has always had some prejudices against Wujin because of the last time he bet on silver, and his attitude was also cold, and he arched his hand to Wujin, "Your Highness has nothing to do, so I will leave." ”

waited until he walked out before Su Xun sighed: "He is a person with backbone." ”

Su Hanzhen picked up the report and said with a smile: "This person is very stylish, but unfortunately he doesn't know much about officialdom, but he is really capable, and he is very clear about doing things, no less than Weiming." ”

"It's okay to have good ability, what do you do if you know what to do with the smoky things in officialdom, drink flower wine all day long, and send concubines, do you think I don't know?"

Su Xun glared at his son fiercely, "Such a capable and unflattering person is the blessing of the people, and you should be promoted!" ”

Su Hanzhen turned his face when he saw his father say that he turned his face, so he had to laugh and say: "I also know this, in fact, it happens that the main book of Weiyang County is vacant, and he is very suitable, but he is Weiming's brother-in-law, and it is not good to be together, it's a pity." ”

"What's not to be together? Don't you understand that you don't avoid relatives and enemies? ”

Su Xun turned his head to look at Wu Jin, and his attitude softened again, "Wu Jin, what do you think?" ”

Su Xun knew very well in his heart that the appointment of officials in Chuzhou was not the final say of the imperial court, but Wujin, in fact, Wujin was not interested in this Qi Pei, he knew that this person was not arrogant about his coldness, but that their relationship was not good at the beginning, but Su Xun was very enthusiastic, he had to give this face, he thought about it and smiled: "The imperial court does have regulations, so be it!" I plan to promote the chief bookkeeper of Jiangning to the county secretary, and the position of the chief bookkeeper of Jiangning will be vacant, so let him come to Jiangning County to be the chief bookkeeper. ”

Su Xun narrowed his eyes with a smile, and he was secretly proud, Wujin gave him face very much, which made him very useful in his heart.

Su Xun is a person who wants to save face, he is not promoted to the king of Liang, he is the emperor's royal brother, and even the emperor personally told him that in the world of Daning, he shared it with King Liang, and personally invited him to return to the country's prison, which made him feel honored, and he agreed to envoy Chuzhou for the emperor.

He just tested Wu Jin just now, but Wu Jin immediately agreed to promote Qi Pei, this kind of respect made him feel a little fluttering, he coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Wu Jin, this time I was ordered by the emperor to send an envoy to Chuzhou, mainly to urge Chu Prefecture to tax silver and grain, you see this matter..... Or I will fight for the emperor and leave half of the tax silver for the Chuzhou army, do you think this is good? ”

Su Hanzhen next to him secretly complained, his father was really a nerd, he didn't know how to negotiate, how could this kind of thing be said frankly like this, there was no basis at all, how could Wujin agree?

Father should have detailed data, how much tax silver, how much grain, how much Chuzhou army needs, and then how much is left, so that Wujin can make a little concession, my father thinks that Wujin will give him face to promote Qi Pei, and he will definitely give him face and promise to give tax silver, which is really naïve.

Su Hanzhen was helpless, his father had already spoken, and sure enough, Wu Jin said with a sad face: "Grandfather doesn't know, I not only have to bear the supply of 300,000 troops in Chuzhou, but also 200,000 Xiliang army food, the pressure is too great, 500,000 troops, it is difficult to feed Chuzhou alone, and the emperor occupies Yuzhou, and goes south to Jingzhou, and also goes north to Jinzhou, with three times the number of counties and counties in Chuzhou, to be honest, I also want to ask my grandfather to say a few kind words for me in front of the emperor, so that the emperor can allocate some more money and food to me." ”

Huangfu Wujin's meaning is very clear, not only will he not give one or two pieces of silver, but he also wants Huangfu Heng to subsidize him with silver, which made Su Xun stunned when he heard it, and only said after a while: "Wujin, you can raise 500,000 troops in Chuzhou alone, isn't it too much?" ”

At this time, Su Hanzhen finally couldn't help it, he first said to his father: "Father doesn't know, the King of Qi is eyeing Chuzhou, and Chuzhou is a densely populated land of money and grain, as long as the army of Chuzhou is less than 200,000, the army of King Qi will definitely kill, which will only ruin the lives of people, so it is necessary for Chuzhou to maintain an army of 300,000." ”

"Nope! No! No! I mean, why does Wujin have an army? ”

This was a bit hard to say, too direct and explicit, Su Hanzhen hurriedly explained for his father: "Wujin, your grandfather means that the money and grain will be given to the imperial court, and then the Chuzhou army and the Xiliang army will be unified by the imperial court to distribute money and grain, which is mainly to ensure the unity of financial power of the imperial court. ”

After all, Su Hanzhen is Huang Fuheng's confidant, he doesn't want to hurt Wu Jin's interests, nor does he want Wu Jin and Huang Fu Heng to turn against each other, so it will be difficult for him to be a man, so he hopes that Wu Jin will do enough on the surface, at least people can't catch the handle.

Su Xun nodded, "That's what I mean, Wu Jin, since you are the governor of Chuzhou appointed by the emperor, you should obey the emperor, and you can't read too much, which will make people feel that you also have ambitions to win the heir, which is not good for your reputation." ”

Wu Jin thought secretly, "It seems that his identity as the King of Liang has become an obstacle, and he has to find an opportunity to disclose the truth." ”

Wujin also values Su Xun very much, although he is more pedantic, but he enjoys a high status among the literati, if he is willing to come forward to support himself, it is easy to make his identity supported by the scholars, he came to Donghai County this time, originally wanted to have a showdown with Su Hanzhen and get his support, after all, the Su family has to consider Su Han's interests, even if they know their identity, they will keep the secret for themselves.

Thinking of this, Wu Jin got up and closed the door, the room was dark, and the Su father and son glanced at each other, not understanding what he meant?

Wu Jin smiled slightly: "I want to ask my grandfather, forty years ago, when Jin'an changed, did my grandfather join the ranks?" ”

Su Xun thought for a moment and said, "I was the top student in the previous year's examination. ”

He frowned, "Wu Jin, what are you talking about this?" ”

Wu Jinyi waved his hand, "The stakes are very high, grandfather, please listen to me, then grandfather must have seen Emperor Jin'an, right!" ”

"I have seen him, a very merciful emperor, I remember when he asked me in the palace examination, what is the importance of the people and the king? Ay! It's a pity that he died at the hands of his own brother. ”

Su Xun sighed, he didn't like Emperor Yong'an, Emperor Yong'an killed his brother to seize the throne, which was contrary to human morality, and as a result, his descendants also followed his example and competed for the throne, and finally Daning split, forming a bad situation of two emperors standing side by side today, which can be regarded as retribution.

"Wu Jin, what are you doing with Jin An's change?"

Wu Jin sighed and whispered to the two of them: "I can't hide it from my grandfather and second uncle, I am actually the grandson of Emperor Jin'an. ”

"Ahh The father and son of the Su family were stunned at the same time, for a long time, neither of them came back to their senses, this news was simply too shocking, Wu Jin took out the national seal of Emperor Jin'an from the skin beside him, put it on the small table, and pushed it to them, "You take a look at this, you will understand." ”

Su Xun trembled, slowly picked up the national seal, and after reading it for a long time, he finally let out a long sigh, "I know, the book written by Guo Shang back then is true, Prince Tianfeng is really not dead, Wujin, is Prince Tianfeng your father?" ”

"Yes, he is my father, so, I only have one way to go, if I can't reset the throne, I will be exterminated, including Jiutian and her children, if it is a son, then he is the great-grandson of Emperor Jin'an, if I succeed in resetting, he will be the crown prince of my Daning Dynasty, the emperor who will rule the Daning Dynasty in the future, and the great-grandson of my grandfather."

Su Xun smiled bitterly, "If I had known, I wouldn't have promised Han'er to you, alas! I made her sit on the crater. ”

"Doesn't my grandfather think I shouldn't be reset? Shouldn't the Jin'an Emperor's society be restored? ”

"I don't know, Wu Jin, the news is too sudden, you let me think about it, let me think about it!"

Su Xun felt that he was extremely tired, so he stood up, "I'll go back and rest first!" ”

He said something to himself, and slowly went out, at this time, Su Hanzhen gently patted Wujin's shoulder and said to him sincerely: "Wujin, I support you, my father will figure it out, and he will also support you, after all, you are the son-in-law of the Su family." ”
