Chapter 212: Take the initiative to ask for help
As Zhao Huanting thought, he also thought that it might be better to be the document of the old prince of Ji Ci, and everyone in the court knew that the relationship between the old prince of Ji Ci and Liu Guogong was very good, so it was very likely that the old prince of Liu Guogong asked the old prince to take care of her, so he suddenly threw out the position of a document.
In the past, it was absolutely impossible. No matter how you think about it, you should know that the old prince Ji Ci will lack documents?
But Qi Shu's heart is also hesitating, if she really goes to the position of this document, and whether she can do it or not, even if she can, then for Qi Shu, it will take a long process to become an official in the court, and it can't be achieved overnight, which is a test for her.
On the contrary, if she went to Guangchuan County to provide disaster relief in response to His Majesty's edict, then for her, this would be an extremely risky opportunity, and if she succeeded, it would also be extremely helpful for her future career. But if she fails, she will probably be buried there forever.
After all, Wan Ting said that the situation there was extremely complicated, and that the refugee army was infected with the plague.
The word plague is already heart-pounding just by hearing it.
What to do? What should she choose?
There are still wounds on her body now, just beginning to scab, a few days ago she moved too hard, so that the wound on her back was torn open, Zhao Huanting scolded her for a bloody head, and she didn't dare to say a word.
Dare to go to the place where the plague is epidemic with a wound on her body, she is afraid that she doesn't want to live, so it is definitely impossible to tell Zhao Huanting, and she can only consider this matter in private.
Do you choose to go to Guangchuan County or go to the old prince Ji Ci's mansion......
But knowing this news, the most nervous and shocking person is none other than Ning Ze! He didn't know if His Majesty already knew everything about Qi Shu and Ning Ze.
This edict is clearly reaching out to Qi Shu! All the people of the official family! It has not yet been stated that it is male and female, and it is enough to indicate that it is both male and female. Could it be that His Majesty wanted him to go, so he deliberately threw it out?
Or is His Majesty's hand really stretched out so long, knowing that Qi Shu is thinking about entering the court to be an official?
No way! How can this be known? Unless His Majesty has clairvoyance and ears that can still detect people's hearts, how can it be like it can be arranged for Qi Shu, it is simply incredible.
Ning Ze, who was originally slowly arranging in the mansion, couldn't sit still anymore, was he already calculated when Yanmo summoned him the day before yesterday? Is this possible? I hope Qi Shu doesn't learn about this, I hope!
But contrary to his wishes, Qi Shu already knew the news, and I have to say that sometimes Zhao Huanting's mouth is indeed quite fast.
Just before Ning Ze had time to go to Zhao Huanting's courtyard to check on Qi Shu's situation, Qi Shu had already repeatedly refused Zhao Huanting's retention and forcibly left the small courtyard and lived in his own county lord's mansion.
That's right, the Qingming County Lord's Mansion has been fully cleaned up inside and out, it was originally made by the official family, and Ning Ze secretly sent people to pay a lot of attention, so it was completed quietly, and not many people knew about it on the day it opened.
Qi Shu can already walk on the ground, but his back still has to be tight, he can't get wet or move too much, before leaving, the doctor sent a lot of external medicine and internal medicine, and instructed Mozhu to carefully decoction for Qi Shu to drink. After a few days, stop for a while, and then drink again after a few days.
In short, it will take a long time for Qi Shu's injury to fully recover.
The doctor's implication was that Qi Shu could have stayed in Zhao Huanting's small courtyard for a while longer, and he shouldn't be in such a hurry to leave, but Qi Shu pretended not to understand and insisted on leaving.
After all, she has been bothering Zhao Huanting for a lot of time, and if it drags on for a long time, it will inevitably cause malicious speculation from someone, after all, the object of everyone's eyes is still on the affairs of Guangchuan County.
Anyway, it's a plague! It is a major event that affects the life and death of an individual, everyone knows that this thing is contagious, as long as one is infected, it is a frying pan and a bunch of infections.
How can you not be in a hurry about burning your eyebrows? After all, Guangchuan County is so close to Shaoliang, if anyone who is ignorant sneaks into Shaoliang, it will be a big deal.
And because of the affairs in Guangchuan County, there have been a lot fewer businessmen who have come to Shaoliang to do business recently, can this not make people anxious? There are many factors that affect business, and disasters must be counted among them.
After two days of Yanmo's list, no one took the initiative, after all, the edict only wrote that he was looking for someone to deal with the affairs of Guangchuan County, and did not say that there was any promise of reward, and no one wanted to do anything that was likely to be thankless, especially in case someone died.
There are also some children of official eunuchs who want to show their faces in front of Yanmo with a eager mood, but they are still stopped by their own patriarch and don't want to die?
What is to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, and to open peace for all generations, it is all bullshit! It's all fools, it's all murderous things, it's a big fool!
So it's a strange circle.
Commoners want to fight for this opportunity, and the nobles can't wait to stay away from this edict, only those who are not afraid of death and are eunuchs are qualified to go to Yanmo to accept this task.
Two days after the edict was issued, Qi Shu quietly went out early in the morning with Mozhu and Green Tangerine, just like he had done in Qi Mansion at that time.
It's just that this time, there will be no more Qi Shangshu accusing Qi Shu of doing anything so-called against filial piety.
Everything was perfect.
After careful consideration, Qi Shu still decisively chose to accept the matter of Guangchuan County, she believed that the reason why His Majesty issued such an edict was probably the result of the promotion of the Lord Guogong, otherwise why would he not assign anyone, but just wait for someone to come to the door?
The place in charge of this matter was written on the bulletin board posted out, so Qi Shu himself went to find that place according to the guidance of others. It was very straightforward to tell the person in charge of the matter that she wanted to meet His Majesty.
The officials present thought that Qi Shu was a troublemaker because Qi Shu was a woman, so they refused on the spot.
After Qi Shu's repeated patient explanations and clarifying his identity as the county lord of Qingming, the other party reluctantly believed that Qi Shu really came to sign up.
The children of the same official eunuchs naturally know who the county lord of Qingming is, but they rarely see real people, and they didn't expect to come over today, and they are brave enough to respond to this special mission. You must know that they have been waiting here for two days, and there is not even a single figure except for the flies passing by.
There were three people in charge of this matter, one military attache and two civil officials, and according to His Majesty's will, as long as they met the basic requirements, they could bring them to him, that is, the children of the eunuchs.
They all guessed that it was because His Majesty scolded the courtiers in the court that they were all rice buckets, so they wanted to find someone who was not a rice bucket to come over, and it had to be pulled out of an official eunuch's house.
Well, the Lord of Qingming County is also counted.
"Lord Qingming, have you thought about it? If you come here to sign up, you can't regret it, but you have to meet Your Majesty! A man with a big black beard and a very tall man said with concern.
Qi Shu sat opposite one of the civil officials, answering the question of the civil official, explaining her basic situation, and smiling slightly at the words that she cared about herself, since she decided to come, she categorically had no regrets, let alone a way out.
After all, she has to answer in front of His Majesty, and she hasn't gone to the palace yet, so how can she show her cowardice so easily.
"No, I've made up my mind." Qi Shu turned his head and replied politely.
"A little girl's house, why can't you think about it?" Big Blackbeard still didn't seem to understand Qi Shu's impulsiveness, if it was a hot-blooded man, he could still understand what role a woman could play in the past.
"I heard there's a plague there? I spent a lot of time studying with the imperial physician in the palace, and I also wanted to contribute to the people affected by the disaster in Gwangcheon County. ”
"I see!" Big Blackbeard exclaimed, No wonder, no wonder the county lord of Qingming took the initiative to ask to go to Guangchuan County, saying that the heart of the doctor's parents, maybe the people who practice medicine and practice medicine may have such a noble idea, it is certain that he definitely does not.
"Okay, after the question is asked, the county lord can leave first, if His Majesty is willing to see the county lord at that time, then we will definitely send someone to inform the county lord to get ready." The clerk of the record put down his pen and exchanged glances with Big Blackbeard.
Qi Shu pretended not to see this look, stood up with a smile, and then walked out of the door a little stiffly, her back was very tight, as if she was pulled by something and couldn't move, so her walking posture was very stiff.
The civil official and the big black beard looked at Qi Shu's movements, and couldn't help but secretly think in their hearts, isn't there some kind of disease, why did he look like this when he walked like this?
And the follow-up of the matter was that because there were no more people signing up, the officials in charge of the matter had no choice but to report Qi Shu, although this was not their original intention.
After all, it would be too difficult for an unmarried girl to be in charge of something that men are so afraid of.
Or is it that this Qingming County Lord just wants to come out and earn a false name, is it because he predicted that His Majesty would not send her there, so he deliberately set up a trap? If that's the case, then the scheming is too deep.
In short, no matter how much speculation there is, Qi Shu's meeting with His Majesty has already been put on the agenda, because the matter in Guangchuan County can no longer be delayed, and if it drags on any longer, everyone will almost die.
So the next day, Qi Shu was summoned to the palace to see Yanmo.
After all, Qi Shu was the only one who signed up.
Some of them are gimmicky, the huge Wei State, many Wei courtiers, are so frightened by the plague that they dare not speak out, and the fearless spirit that the country needs does not know where to go, but usually it is a joy of coaxing.
In fact, it is not as speculated by outsiders, Yanmo deliberately embarrassed the courtiers and wanted to teach the courtiers a lesson, nor did Ning Ze think that he knew Qi Shu's intention to enter the court as an official, and when this edict was issued, he was thinking about it, as the Ming Jun in the eyes of everyone, he naturally could not do anything that damaged the image of the Ming Jun.
He didn't bother much with the wording of this edict, he had already promised when he took over the throne from Ji Wei that if there was a woman with excellent performance, he would definitely give him a proper opportunity to show his talent in the court.
It's just that it hasn't been an edict for a long time? The courtiers had forgotten about it.
And now there are indeed not many female officials in the court, and the courtiers all default to the fact that the court is not a place where women should stay, how many women can be like Ji Wei, the founding empress of the country, who has established immortal feats?
Ji Wei is a woman who is rare in a hundred years or even a thousand years, and naturally ordinary women cannot be compared, and it is precisely because of Ji Wei's particularity in Yan Mo's heart that Yan Mo intentionally or unintentionally avoided the selection of female officials.
Now that the edict is issued again, it is naturally customary to show the same intention of men and women, so Yan Mo didn't think about it so much, who knew that he inadvertently let Qi Shu take advantage of the loophole.
When Yan Mo knew that only Qi Shu was coming, he was still very shocked, there was no man in the huge Shaoliang City who had the courage and courage, and it was actually a woman who took the initiative to ask for help, isn't it a big joke in the world?
Even if it wasn't for his own face, it was for his own face in the Wei court, so at that time, Yan Mo subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Or a eunuch next to him reminded Yan Mo that he didn't notice it, and now the lord of Qingming County has taken the initiative to ask for help, if this is rejected, it will inevitably be a little unreasonable. It does not conform to the demeanor of a son of heaven.
After hearing this, Yan Mo hesitated again and again, and then saw Qi Shu with the same opinion, after all, this is the Qingming County Lord who he personally sealed, if he really has some talent, even if he sends her to Guangchuan County as a military advisor, it will be no problem.
After figuring this out, Yanmo's mood suddenly brightened up a lot.
It was announced that Qi Shu would be summoned on the afternoon of the second day and sent someone to take her into the palace in person, after all, she was the first person who had the courage to take the initiative and apply to go to Guangchuan County, and she was still a woman.
After the news of Mo announcing the summoning of Qi Shu spread, everyone who heard the news was shocked.
I thought that this edict would end without anyone responding, why did this kill a woman temporarily? This is a bit of a bizarre.
But this is not the point, the point is whether Qi Shu, the lord of Qingming County, can satisfy His Majesty, so that he can be sent to Guangchuan County to face the plague in their place, which is the most important thing.
