Chapter 520 One Step Ahead

At this point, Pingzhou’s first rural female officer was born.

Later, Chief Wen of Baishi Village and Aunt Wang, the women's officer, were shocked when they learned Lu Songli's identity.

Later, there were scholars who were curious about the details of Emperor Lu's trip and came to ask the two of them. This incident was recorded in unofficial history.

While Pingzhou was building its own bureaucratic framework bit by bit, outside, the situation in the court and Lingnan was about to break out.

Southland

Xie Zhan looked at the person in front of him coldly, "Xie Wei, can you be more sensible? You disappoint me so much."

"Do you even know what priorities are?"

"Let me ask you, now that we are facing a formidable enemy, how long will you continue to be willful?"

Xie Wei still looked indifferent. Didn't he just not listen to the command? He did it on purpose, what happened? It didn't cause much damage.

"I don't know what you are resenting? The family sent you away and did not let you grow up in the clan, but the resources that should be used to cultivate you were not deducted."

Xie Zhan's words surprised Xie Wei.

Xie Zhan sneered, "otherwise you think you are so good for no reason?"

"Do you really think you can get ahead if you have the ability? Haven't you heard of it? Horses with thousands of libra are often found, but Bole is not always found. It is not uncommon for talented people to be buried."

"Or do you think that all your achievements are due to your efforts? Let me tell you right now, your previous achievements are inseparable from the secret support of your family!"

Xie Zhan now has a showdown.

Xie Wei's face turned dark. He didn't expect it at all...

"Xie Wei, to be honest, I've tolerated you enough."

"You are unwilling to let your wife and children return to the clan. Well, I understand you. But you provoke me again and again!"

"You don't really think that your wife is safe outside and everything goes smoothly, and that it's your ability to afford your three-year-old son the opportunity to be enlightened by a great scholar who wants to become an official?"

Xie Zhan laughed at his naivety.

Xie Wei's face turned cold, "Are you spying on us?"

Hearing this, Xie Zhan was really disappointed, "Whatever you think. You always see the disadvantages to you, but not the advantages."

Thank you for your meal.

"I think my demands on you are not too much. Not to mention the family's secret training of you before, for now, the family is willing to give you the opportunity to take charge of the military. Do you know how many people ask for it but don't get it? I don’t understand why you are still dissatisfied? Anyone else would have been so grateful to the family.”

"Being in a wealthy family and enjoying the family's resources, shouldn't you repay the family? Even if you don't like our family, then you still have to fight for your wife and children, right?"

"What you're doing now is telling me that you don't want to fight? You don't want to obey the orders of the family? Then you could have said it earlier. You can say it now. As long as you say it, I will find someone to replace you immediately! Don't think that I and the family will It has to be you.”

After Xie Zhan said this, he just shut up.

Xie Wei didn't speak either.

After an unknown amount of time, Xie Zhan raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Wei, and said seriously, "If you don't speak, I will assume that you know you were wrong and don't want to be replaced. Then, if this matter ends here, it will be over. But remember , this is my last chance for you! Do you understand?”

"clear."

"Now that you understand, let's go out."

After Xie Wei went out, he happened to see Zhao Yutan walking towards here with his child.

He turned his head slightly so as not to scare the child, and then left by another route.

"Who is that? Why don't you come over to see the madam and the young master?" Zhao Yutan's maid said dissatisfied.

"Shut up, if you keep talking too much, you will go and become a sweeping maid!" Zhao Yutan scolded.

The maid quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake, "Madam, I made a mistake."

"Take good care of your young master, and don't dare to comment on anything." After Zhao Yutan finished speaking, he strode forward.

She glanced at the direction where the man disappeared without leaving a trace, and she probably knew the identity of that man.

People who practice martial arts have sharp ears and eyes, and the conversation between Zhao Yutan and the maid came to Xie Wei's ears word for word.

Regarding Zhao Yutan, Xie Wei sneered. His brother, who was extremely smart, actually faced such a big challenge in choosing his wife.

He had heard that Xie Zhan's former fiancée Lu Songli was now the lord of Pingyou and Youzhou.

As a woman, she is in charge of two states. You can imagine how amazing this woman's abilities are.

Zhao Yutan is now the matron of a large family. Although she is not bad, she is not on the same level after all.

His brother chose the fish eyes and discarded the pearls, and he might regret it.

Gu Zhai

Patriarch Gu was already in poor health at this time. He called his grandson Gu Huaisheng, thinking that while he was still in good spirits, he could explain some things that needed to be explained clearly.

At the end of the explanation, the current situation cannot be avoided.

In this case, we have to mention Xie Zhan of Nandi and Lu Songli of Pingzhou.

At first, Patriarch Gu preferred to choose Xie Zhan, but now comparing the two places, Pingzhou actually has the advantage. Whether it is occupying two states or holding back the Xianbei army and the imperial army, it makes people feel its power.

As for Nandi, I wonder if they can survive the imperial encirclement and suppression this time.

Faced with this situation, Patriarch Gu said that he would never regret it, which was a lie.

Probably because he was about to die, but he also spoke well. Facing his direct grandson, the old Patriarch Gu said guiltily, "My grandfather may have made the wrong decision."

Gu Huaisheng comforted him, "The troubled times have just begun, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. This time, I believe Xie Zhan can withstand the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court."

As subordinates, they should not be fickle.

The old patriarch Gu nodded, "You are right, the temporary win or loss does not mean anything, let's look at the long term."

However, in the golden age when the troubled times first came, the significance of each stage is extremely important.

One step ahead, every step ahead.

Pingzhou already has the foundation for its rise. And the Southland is still working hard to qualify.
