After the New Year, still in the New Year, Han Yueniang gave birth to a son. Du Zhongxiao's family was very happy, and they revolved around their mother and son every day. Yongcheng's government affairs are on the right track, and Du Zhongxiao spends most of his time in it, accompanying his family.

saw that at the beginning of February, Xia Zhu suddenly sent a letter asking Du Zhongxiao to go to Bozhou to see him immediately. Du Zhongxiao instructed Dong Zhushu and Cheng County Lieutenant to let Chai Xin bring a few jars of good wine and some famous local products in Yongcheng and set off for Bozhou. Xia Zhu is the governor of the state, and Du Zhongxiao and these magistrates usually have all kinds of filial piety. Du Zhongxiao never sent money, but these more valuable items were recorded in the commune's account.

On the third pole of the day, Du Zhongxiao and his party entered Bozhou City and went straight to see Xia Zhu.

Chai Xin helped Meng Dahai move the gifts into the back office, and Du Zhongxiao was led by the servants of the Xia family to the flower hall.

Xia Zhu was drinking tea in the flower hall, calm and relaxed, and when he saw Du Zhongxiao coming, he ordered to set up a seat.

After saluting, the guest sat down, and Du Zhongxiao arched his hand: "I don't know what the prime minister calls for the humble position, what are the instructions." ”

Xia Zhu looked at Du Zhongxiao and said with a smile: "It's a good thing." This year, the court loaned Yuan Hao's crime, the northwest boycotted the army, and the saint remembered the past, after all, it was what I said back then. Therefore, the imperial court intended to let me transfer military resources again and go to the border. ”

Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to celebrate Xia Zhu or not. According to Xia Zhu's meaning, it seems that he is about to be promoted, but logically speaking, it is not a good thing to switch from civilian to military capital. When Xia Zhu came to Bozhou, he once made trouble, and he changed from military capital to civilian capital.

Xia Zhu didn't care about Du Zhongxiao's expression, and said to himself: "The imperial court intends to let me go to Hedong to pacify all the way, and supervise the soldiers and horses. This matter is already a foregone conclusion, and as soon as the edict is issued, I will hand over to the new governor, and it will be done. You have been in Bozhou for three years, and you have made outstanding political achievements, Yongcheng has a wide range of money and food, and the people are happy, which is very rare. I intend to take you to Hedong to sign a judgment for me, what do you think? ”

Du Zhongxiao was stunned for a while, and then he realized that Xia Zhu was about to be promoted to a border commander again, and he was in real power, so he was willing to change to military capital. Anyway, when it comes to his position, the difference between civil and military is not so obvious, and military resources can be promoted to prime ministers, which are much stronger than civil resources. Heavy ministers go to the side to be the commander, and it is common practice to change military force with literature, and Xia Zhu of course accepts it calmly. Only middle- and lower-level petty officials like themselves are so sensitive to the difference between civil and military.

Seeing Xia Zhu looking at him with blank eyes, Du Zhongxiao hurriedly gave his hand: "The prime minister is raised, and the humble duty will naturally obey the order, so as to prepare for the drive!" ”

Xia Zhu nodded: "Your first term will go to Bozhou, and according to the usual practice, the next term will also go to the border." I will deploy the capital of Hedong and appease the state with a slight pacification, and you will go with me to Hedong Road to sign the judgment for the annexation of the state. Zhixian, if you do well in the next term and have a bright future, you should understand. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Humble thanks!" It's just that the stakes are very high, and I'm afraid that the lowly position will be insufficient—"

Xia Zhu waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be modest, I have seen your governance in Yongcheng in the past two years, believe me, I won't be wrong!" Governing a county is a bit condescending for you. When I arrive in Hedong, I will concentrate on all the way, and the affairs of the state will be entrusted to you. That's when you can show off your talents. If you do a good job, the court will not hesitate to promote you, you have to know it in your heart. ”

Du Zhongxiao thanked him again. Generally speaking, they will not be distracted in the affairs of a state, and the government affairs of the state are mostly entrusted to their subordinates, that is, the official affairs of the judge's office.

The general judge of the state is not a subordinate official of the state, and no matter how different the status is, the two are in a relationship of mutual supervision. Zhizhou's own people are actually shogunate officials, and they are to assist Zhizhou in terms of position, especially the first judge of the shogunate.

Xia Zhu is a special case, the main position is actually the road level, the governor is just a part-time job, and the shogunate can be self-reliant. Xia Zhu took a fancy to Du Zhongxiao and didn't need to recommend it to the imperial court, so he decided to do it. When encountering this kind of thing, some officials politely refused, but Du Zhongxiao's head was not so iron, so he naturally agreed. Signing the judgment is the head of a state's officials, in fact, it is a rare opportunity for Xia Zhu to govern and merge the state, and he can have the experience of managing the politics of a state in advance. If he refused, not to mention losing a rare opportunity for promotion, he would completely offend him. With the resignation of the troops in the northwest and the peace of peace, the status of Xia Zhu, who was the lord of peace in the northwest, rose back then, but it was not comparable to when he came to Bozhou.

Seeing that Du Zhongxiao agreed happily, Xia Zhu was very satisfied, and said, "The post of Yongcheng magistrate will be taken over by others." I expect to take up my post in Hedong in August, and you can join me in Bingzhou when we do. Until then, you can go back to your hometown and have a look. This position is my signature, and I don't have to keep it. ”

Du Zhongxiao hurriedly thanked him. Originally, when an official arrived, he had to go to the capital to guard the vacancy, and he was not sure when he would have the next term, and the free time in the middle was not included in the resume. The signing of the judgment in the state is Xia Zhu's self-avoidance, and there is no need to keep the vacancy, which is equivalent to giving Du Zhongxiao a long vacation.

Seeing that Xia Zhu's mood was particularly good, Du Zhongxiao's heart moved, and he arched his hand and said: "Xianggong, in the past few years in Yongcheng, in addition to the field work, he has also built some industries, and they are all prosperous. If you come to a county that doesn't know anything, I'm afraid that it will be corrupted, which is a pity. ”

Xia Zhu said: "Oh, could it be that you have a suitable candidate in mind?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Su Song, the official of Suzhou, is on the same list as the lowly position. I have a lot of involvement in the industry in Yongchengli. If he takes over as the magistrate of Yongcheng, he will definitely be able to go further, so as not to let the lowly work be abandoned halfway. ”

Xia Zhu groaned: "This Su Song is the son of Longtu Su Shen, I have also heard of it. If this is the person, it is suitable. ”

Du Zhongxiao hurriedly said: "This person is knowledgeable, skilled in government affairs, and a good person in governance, so he must be able to do it." ”

Xia Zhu nodded: "Okay, I will recommend Su Song to the imperial court to take over your position as the magistrate of Yongcheng." By the way, you are so anxious, is there something at home? Su Song is going to take over now, and you have a few months of free time. ”

"Don't hide it from the public, I recently got a son from my humble position, and I want to take it back to my hometown. I don't have any siblings or siblings, and I want to go home and make arrangements. ”

Xia Zhu said: "Oh, you recently got a child, why didn't you inform your colleagues?" Let's be a host and congratulate you. You don't have to worry about this matter, I will play a chapter and recommend Su Song to replace you as the magistrate of Yongcheng. ”

Du Zhongxiao thanked him. Su Song is an official, if he is reappointed as the magistrate, he will definitely be promoted to an official in Beijing, just like Du Zhongxiao before. Du Zhongxiao recommended Su Song, also to help a friend. And in his opinion, Su Song is the most suitable successor for the properties he left in Yongcheng.

Han Jiang made a car and boat in Chenzhou, and he was already able to sail in the river, although it was not mature for actual transportation, but it had taken an important step. He is different from Du Zhongxiao, Zhongjinshi has already been out of office before, and his official position is higher, and if he does not return to the capital to serve in the next term, he can be appointed to Zhizhou.

With Du Zhongxiao's current qualifications, it is normal to be appointed as a judge, and it is a normal promotion. However, when it comes to the state and the state, it is a promotion at a higher level, especially by the border marshal Xia Zhu, whose status is different from that of the general judgment in the general state. One term is completed, as long as there is no negligence, another term can be a general judgment. If you make a general judgment, you are a state official, and you can be regarded as jumping out of the class of shogunate.

After saying goodbye to Xia Zhu, Du Zhongxiao walked on the streets of Bozhou, carefully recalling the conversation with Xia Zhu. In fact, since Xia Zhu took office in Benzhou, he has not had much contact with Du Zhongxiao, and his relationship is not very close. This is Xia Zhu's characteristic, there is no one in the officialdom. He reused himself when he was transferred to the borderlands, purely because of his political achievements in Yongcheng.

Thinking of this, Du Zhongxiao exhaled. It's okay to do this, and I don't like to be someone else's follower, but it's easier to accept it purely because my ability is reused. If Xia Zhu privately planted his henchmen and wooed Du Zhongxiao to join the gang, Du Zhongxiao would hesitate. Du Zhongxiao did not doubt his ability to make political achievements, and the relationship in the officialdom was still so pure.
