Chapter 355 Let’s Die Together

Zhou Bo was also looking at the list below.

Jiang Yizhou asked, "Brother Zhou, where do you want to go?"

The two had known each other for a few days. After getting to know each other, they felt that each other was quite to their liking, and they hit it off at first sight.

Zhou Bo replied, "I want to work as a clerk in the government. Brother Jiang, what about you?" He was a lawyer himself, and working in the government office was a good match for him.

Jiang Yizhou hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to work as a retainer in the county governor's office." He knew that there were a lot of jobs in the government office, and with his photographic memory, he would definitely have to do a lot of work in the government office. Being a retainer and staff of Lord Lu should have less work, right?

"Very good." Zhou Bo respected his choice.

Such conversations often happened under the red wall and red list.

The three lists gave three choices to capable and talented people.

For ordinary people, all three were excellent opportunities.

County Governor Lu Desheng's recruitment of retainers and staff was more like a supplement to the government's recruitment. Those who have the ability but have defects in their identity or other aspects and cannot pass the requirements of the government to become formal officials, it is also very good to turn around and work hard to become the retainers and staff of Lord Lu.

But everyone can only apply for one place, because the time of the three examinations is the same, and it is useless to apply for more places.

Now, before the examination begins, all those who are interested in taking office face the first problem, that is, how to choose. And to make this decision, they need to have a clear understanding of themselves.

Gu Er returned to the Southland, the day after talking with Master Ji.

And Master Ji decided to go back to the Southland with Gu Er on the advice of his trusted housekeeper.

Before going back, Master Ji handed the remaining silver to Wu Ren, asked him to help them invest in the Ji family, and hurriedly chased after him.

Wu Ren took the key to open the Tianzi-shaped room that Master Ji had ordered, and saw a box full of gold and silver. His people counted it and found that there were about 50,000 to 60,000.

Wu Ren smiled, look, what is trust, this is trust. The comparison between Ji Da Shao and Gu Eryi, the difference is obvious. Ji Da Shao trusts them so much, they will not let him lose.

Chang'an, Imperial Palace

Emperor Song Mo is reviewing memorials in the imperial study, Zhang Xian and Zuo Anmin accompany him.

Recently, Song Mo is in a good mood, the problem of the South has been solved. The palace is selecting concubines and queens, and he will get married at the end of the year. In other words, when the seal is opened at the beginning of next year, he will be able to rule the country. Because by then, it will have been two years since the death of the emperor.

He was in a good mood, and when he found that Lu Desheng handed over the memorial, he opened it with interest.

Song Mo finished reading it quickly, "Well, Liaodong County is going to run a college?" Lu Desheng said on the memorial, asking him to write an inscription.

Zhang Xian on the side immediately said, "Your Majesty, this Lord Lu is still very discerning, why don't you write a copy?"

Song Mo's handwriting is indeed good, and he has always been proud of it. During those days of forbearance, he relied on copying books to get by.

Zuo Anmin curled his lips, bah, flatterer!

Song Mo was in a good mood, writing an inscription, that's fine, "Okay, just do as Zhang Aiqing said, come, ink and brush!"

Song Mo gave an order, and the eunuchs came forward, one replaced the ink for him, and the other spread the paper for him.

He took a wolf hair brush and began to dip it in ink.

Not long after, he wrote the four big characters of Liaodong Academy.

"Good calligraphy!" Zuo Anmin was the first to praise.

Zhang Xian followed closely, "It's really good calligraphy, it's really like dragons and snakes flying, and the pen is moving like a dragon!"

Looking at this calligraphy, Song Mo was also very satisfied, "After the ink is dry, let the people below rush to deliver it to Lu Desheng for 600 miles."

Before, Xie Zhan completely solved the problem of the South for him, without the need for silver and grain from the treasury, and even earned a gold mine, millions of silver. Now Liaodong County is going to run a college. Running a school is a merit of education, and it is also one of his achievements as an emperor.

However, Song Mo's good mood did not last.

He had just invited two ministers to have lunch together, and the eunuch came in a hurry, with a look of shock on his face.

"Your Majesty, it's not good."

Zuo Anmin scolded, "Bold! Don't talk nonsense in front of the holy carriage!"

Song Mo was also very unhappy.

When Zuo Anmin scolded, the eunuch knelt on the ground and slapped himself twice, "The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die."

Song Mo raised his hand to stop him from slapping, "Okay, tell me, what are you panicking about?"

"Your Majesty, the Nanyang earth dragon turned over!"

Song Mo stood up suddenly, shocked, "What?!"

Zuo Anmin and Zhang Xian were also surprised. They couldn't help but look at each other, and then looked away with disdain. But both of them were very tacitly quiet.

Song Mo paced back and forth, feeling anxious.

The disaster in the south has just passed, and Nanyang has an earthquake. This thief God can't bear to see him have a happy day! I don't know how many people have been affected by the disaster. I hope it's not too serious, otherwise he will have to issue a self-blame edict. It's only the second year of his reign!

Zuo Anmin rolled his eyes, took the tea on the table, walked over and handed it to Song Mo, "Your Majesty, don't panic, drink some tea, calm down."

Song Mo took it unconsciously, and after drinking it, he came back to his senses, "Lord Zuo, what should we do about this?"

Zuo Anmin: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang has been sent out before, and he has rich experience in governing the local areas. I remember that Changli, where he governed, also had an earthquake?"

Zhang Xian's eyes suddenly widened when he heard this, and he looked at Zuo Anmin with a cold look!

Dog thief, hurt me!

Song Mo looked at Zhang Xian, "Lord Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Xian knew that he must not be timid or shirk at this time. As the emperor's favorite minister, the emperor has a big problem and is looking at you, you can't hide. When you should take responsibility, you hide away. Doesn't that mean you don't care about the emperor's life or death? If you don't care about the emperor's life or death, then you are not far from death.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to share your worries and am willing to accept your order to go to Nanyang to deal with this matter!" Zhang Xian immediately expressed his attitude.

Song Mo was very satisfied with his attitude. He walked to Zhang Xian's side and patted his shoulder, "Zhang Aiqing, you are very good. Is there any difficulty in going to Nanyang?"

"Your Majesty, can you assign a deputy to assist me in governing Nanyang?"

"Yes."

Zuo Anmin suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zuo is very capable. Please let him go to Nanyang with me." Zhang Xian cursed in his heart, Zuo Anmin, you bastard, even if I die, I will drag you down with me!

Now it was Zuo Anmin's turn to widen his eyes!

Song Mo looked at Zuo Anmin, thinking, "Lord Zuo, what do you think?"

Zuo Anmin's face was stiff, "I obey your orders."

Damn, you shot yourself in the foot! Zhang Xian, you are so cruel!

Zhang Xian sneered, come on, let's die together!
