Ye Cheng ruthlessly dealt with Zhao Jiacheng's news. It was passed out directly. This action made Yuan Ping, the magistrate of Zhaoping County, and Wan Lang, the magistrate of Yong'an Prefecture, and others startled, but they didn't expect Ye Chengxin to be so ruthless, and there was no longer the slightest idea of resistance in his heart. With the lessons of the past, they no longer dared to make mistakes, and according to Li Zhen's instructions, they completed the things that needed to be done one by one.

In the palace, Li Zhen sent someone to summon Ye Chengxin.

When Ye Chengxin entered the study, Li Zhen was immersed in reading. He didn't want to disturb Li Zhen, so he stood quietly aside. However, Li Zhenran didn't seem to notice that Ye Chengxin was coming, and kept his head immersed in reading, as if he didn't notice Ye Chengxin who was already standing in front of him. In the blink of an eye, fifteen minutes slipped through my fingertips.

At this time, Li Zhen was still reading the book without self-forgetfulness, and he didn't look up at Ye Chengxin standing in front of him at all. Li Zhen didn't speak, and Ye Chengxin didn't dare to disturb Li Zhen.

After all, it was Li Zhen who came to him, not him to report the matter.

In the study, it was quiet, and even the faint breathing could be heard clearly.

Ye Chengxin stood, and half an hour passed quickly.

However, Li Zhen still shows no signs of raising his head. Seeing this, Ye Cheng began to beat the drum in his heart, and felt very strange, because Li Zhen had never asked him to wait for more than half an hour. He even wondered if Li Zhen was asleep with his eyes open, but the rolling eyeballs and the blinking eyelids from time to time showed that Li Zhen was not sleeping.

"There must be something!"

Ye Cheng thought secretly in his heart, and he didn't dare to come out.

The two of them did not speak, and another hour passed.

Fortunately, Ye Chengxin usually pays attention to exercise, and often follows Dong Haichuan and Yang Lu to practice martial arts, and his physical fitness is good, so he can stand for an hour. During this period, although Li Zhen buried his head, he also glanced at Ye Chengxin from time to time, and saw that Ye Chengcheng's expression was calm and calm, and Li Zhen was quite satisfied.

Ye Chengxin is almost twenty years old, but after all, he is a young man, and it is not easy to have such patience. Moreover, Li Zhen's methods of dealing with Zhao Jiacheng from Ye Chengcheng also recognized Ye Chengcheng's intentions.

To do things, there must be thunder means.

"Ahem! Cough!! ”

Li Zhen coughed lightly twice and raised his head.

Ye Chengxin still looked as usual, and his expression did not change. Li Zhen saw that Ye Chengxin's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and his expression was peaceful, and he did not stop and bowed respectfully, and he admired Ye Chengcheng's mentality. Li Zhen closed the book in his hand, looked at Ye Chengxin with eye level, and said in a low tone: "Xiao Ye, you have been following me for a few years!" ”

Ye Cheng thought for a while and said: "I followed Dashuai in the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), and now it is the second year of Tongzhi (1857), and it has been about three years. In three years, I grew from a teenager to an adult. If it weren't for the guidance of the handsome, I would still be a young man who is a buddy for others. When it came to Ye Chengxin's own affairs, Ye Chengxin was also embarrassed.

"Yes! Three years! Li Zhen said with emotion.

Ye Chengxin listened to Li Zhen's words, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"

Ye Cheng's heart was full of doubts, but he was embarrassed to take the initiative to ask.

Li Zhen looked at Ye Chengcheng's expression in his eyes, and he was amused in his heart. The things he mentioned were indeed abrupt, after all, in the past, he talked about things directly, and there was no sadness. Li Zhen sorted out his thoughts, no longer embarrassed Ye Cheng, and said: "Xiao Ye, have you ever thought about being released as an official and breaking through outside?" ”

"Huh?"

When Ye Cheng heard this, he suddenly exclaimed.

He opened his mouth wide, he didn't expect Li Zhen to mention the matter of release. Ye Chengxin himself had never considered the matter of external release, but Li Zhen brought it up, which surprised him. Ye Chengxin's head shook like a wave drum, and he said loudly: "Dashuai, I don't want to leave, so I will follow you to do things, so it is more comfortable." ”

Li Zhen shook his head and chuckled: "You are almost twenty years old, and you can be released as an official." ”

Ye Cheng choked up, and his eyes suddenly moistened.

He has been following Li Zhen since he was fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is already close to twenty years old. For Ye Chengxin, Liu Taiping is his father-in-law, and Li Zhen is more like a brother. Because from Li Zhen, he didn't feel a trace of officialdom, and he was very reluctant. Ye Chengxin said slowly: "I have always followed the handsome, and I don't need to be an official." ”

Li Zhen said solemnly: "Your path needs you to walk by yourself, you can't follow me all the time." Besides, you can only show your skills on your own stage. I'm giving you a platform to show yourself as much as you want. It's just that I haven't decided what kind of position I want to give you, and that's what I hesitate about. ”

Ye Chengxin knew that he couldn't change it, so he quickly adjusted his mentality and asked, "Dashuai, where is the preliminary plan?" ”

Li Zhen asked: "The location is Wuzhou Mansion, which is set. ”

After a pause, Li Zhen asked again: "The current prefect of Wuzhou is not qualified for the post of prefect of Wuzhou, and must be transferred, so it is vacant, and the prefect of Wuzhou Mansion and Pingle Mansion is also vacant. I would like to let you hold two choices for the position, one is to serve as the prefect of Wuzhou, and the other is to serve as the prefect of Cangwu County, which one do you choose? ”

"I choose the magistrate of Cangwu County!"

Ye Chengxin didn't hesitate and immediately spoke.

Li Zhen asked again, "Are you sure?" ”

"I'm sure!" Ye Cheng nodded affirmatively: "I followed Dashuai, saw a lot of things, and also met a lot of big people. But there is a serious lack of experience and no ability to govern. If he suddenly becomes the prefect of Wuzhou, it will definitely be incompetent. Therefore, starting from the county governor, this can accumulate my ability. ”

"Smack! Syllable!!! ”

After Li Zhen heard this, he couldn't help but clap his hands and praise.

In fact, Li Zhen also hopes that Ye Chengcheng will start from the grassroots level, which will be beneficial to Ye Chengcheng in the future. If a person in power does not have the ability to deal with the affairs of his official position, the result will be a great disaster. Only by starting from the grassroots level, understanding what the people below need, and constantly exercising their own abilities, can we lay the foundation for a broader and grander stage in the future.

Ye Cheng said again: "Dashuai, when will I take office?" ”

Li Zhendao: "Take office immediately!" ”

After that, Li Zhen took out a letter of appointment about Ye Chengxin, and said in a deep voice: "The magistrates of Cangwu County, Huaiji County, He County and other places must be adjusted. Therefore, Wuzhou Mansion is a new stage for us, and there may be difficulties during the period, but I hope you can overcome them one by one and stand out. If you are one of these county orders, you will not be able to stand out from the crowd, and you will only be reduced to the life of a small county. ”

"Don't worry, I will live up to your expectations!" Ye Cheng said seriously.

Li Zhen waved his hand, and Ye Chengxin retreated.

Li Zhen lowered his head, took out a simple map, drew a circle on a part of Wuzhou Mansion and Pingle Mansion, and wrote the word 'decided', which means that a part of Wuzhou Mansion and Pingle Mansion has been stabilized. Next, Li Zhen will continue to march. Because Li Zhen's strategy is to snowball growth, keep moving forward, play steadily, and finally win.

ps: The second shift, call it a day.
