Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo also kept in mind the useful information that the other party said.
The next day, the imperial edict conferring the title of Nanxi Township Lady on Kong arrived at Xiao's residence.
Kong had heard about this from her son and daughter-in-law before, and she was deeply moved.
She actually doesn't care about these identities. She is satisfied as long as her family lives happily and safely.
But he would not refuse his daughter-in-law's kindness.
After receiving the imperial edict, Xiao Hanzheng hosted a banquet for his teachers, friends, and classmates.
Zhuo Jun, Fang Zhijun and others also came to congratulate.
In front of his two close followers, Zhuo Jun chatted with Xiao Hanzheng alone for a while.
Over the next period of time, Zhuo Jun would either visit Xiao Hanzheng or ask him out.
This incident did not attract much attention. Those who knew about it thought that the two of them were getting together in advance because they were going to Northern Xinjiang.
That day, Zhuo Jun wrote a letter and gave it to a close follower.
"Send someone to take it to the northern border."
The personal attendant received the letter and asked, "Is the mission completed?"
Zhuo Jun replied: "Xiao Hanzheng promised to consider it after arriving in Northern Frontier."
The attendant frowned, "Just considering it?"
Zhuo Jun raised his eyebrows, "It's good that Xiao Hanzheng agreed to consider it. If he directly said that he would surrender to the prince now, would you believe it? I won't believe it anyway."
"After all, we are only giving him benefits verbally, but he hasn't seen any actual benefits yet."
This was also the result of her discussion with Xiao Hanzheng.
Unless you are stupid, no one would believe that Xiao Hanzheng would surrender so easily.
So this answer is the most appropriate and acceptable.
Sure enough, the follower choked and said, "Okay, I understand."
It makes sense when you think about it. If he surrenders when he hasn't gotten anything yet, it would be unbelievable.
He reminded, "The master has already arranged everything for you. We will be able to return to Northern Frontier soon."
Zhuo Jun tightened his grip on the pen and nodded calmly, "Yes."
A few days later, the arrangements for the three people in Group A were announced.
The emperor issued an imperial decree.
Xiao Hanzheng went to the northern border and served as the magistrate of Heyang County.
Zhuo Jun was the magistrate of the neighboring Wan'an County.
The runner-up was not a county magistrate, but was transferred to the northern city to serve as a seventh-rank governor under the prefect.
The grandson of Lord Hu and several others who passed the imperial examination this year were also assigned to positions as county magistrates or other seventh-rank or junior seventh-rank positions.
Those who failed to pass the imperial examination were arranged to assist these people.
With the help of Duke Qi, Qi Yiyang was arranged to be the county magistrate in a county close to Xiao Hanzheng.
Although Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui were included in the list of people going together by their biological fathers, they were not even Tongsheng students, so it was naturally impossible for them to be assigned any positions.
So the emperor arranged for the two of them to assist Xiao Hanzheng. If they made contributions in the future, he would make other arrangements for them after they returned to Beijing.
Liang Youxiao and Xi Rui didn't want to go at all, but they had no way to resist and could only agree while crying.
Because the journey to the northern border is long, for example, when Xiao Hanzheng took over the position of county magistrate, the previous county magistrate was reported for corruption, and after investigation, he was dismissed from office and imprisoned. The county was anxiously waiting for the new county magistrate to take office.
Therefore, Xiao Hanzheng could not return home to visit his relatives, but had to go directly to the northern border.
This was actually something Xiao Hanzheng had expected, so they had already made arrangements before coming to the capital.
Besides, all the family members have been brought to the capital, so there is no need to save any relatives.
So the emperor asked them to go to the northern border together in ten days and sent someone to escort them on the way.
After arriving in the northern border, the group separated and went to their respective places to take up their posts.
In fact, the places where these people take up their posts are basically the territories controlled by King Jin.
So the emperor deliberately provoked Prince Jin's people and agreed to send his family's direct descendants along as well. In fact, he was also taking the opportunity to make arrangements in the northern border.
Both the Emperor and Prince Jin were calculating and fighting, and it all depended on who would come out on top in the end.
Shi Qingluo and Xiao Hanzheng were basically ready.
Although this trip to the northern border is quite dangerous, they are even more worried about leaving Xiao's mother and others in the capital.
The family must be neat and tidy wherever they go.
So Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo thought about it and sought the opinions of Xiao's mother and the other two, and finally decided to take the three of them with them.
Otherwise, if they are not around, King Jin will focus his attention on these three people and it will be easy for him to accidentally step into the trap.
At that time they were far away in the northern border and were completely out of reach.
The emperor did not suggest that Xiao's mother and the other two stay. In his opinion, it is better to trust people you employ than to doubt them.
If we deliberately leave the three of them in the capital, it will make Xiao Hanzheng and his wife feel uncomfortable. There is no need for that.
After taking office, Xiao Hanzheng compared the news from Northern Xinjiang and discovered something.
He said to Shi Qingluo: "The place where I work is the county where Lao Xiao's family is located."
Shi Qingluo was stunned for a moment, "Is this intentional or a coincidence?"
Xiao Hanzheng thought about it and said, "Maybe Prince Jin did it on purpose."
The possibility of him being the emperor is not very high. Recently, the trend in the court has been in favor of Prince Jin's people.
The arrangement of their positions was mainly proposed by the Ministry of Personnel.
"The Minister of Personnel should be the Prince of Jin's man."
This person was not on the list that Zhuo Jun gave to the emperor, but Xiao Hanzheng knew that this person had been punished by the emperor in his previous life.
Shi Qingluo frowned, "Does Prince Jin still want to use the people of the old Xiao family to contain us?"
Xiao Hanzheng thought for a moment and said, "It's very likely."
Shi Qingluo asked: "After all, the scumbag father's biological parents are there. Prince Jin doesn't want us to go to the Northern Frontier and continue to fight with the scumbag father, right? Or to restrain the scumbag father?"
"If this was arranged by King Jin, then he will definitely cause trouble between us and my scumbag father."
She felt that Prince Jin must know what her scumbag father had done in Northern Xinjiang.
After all, that was Prince Jin's territory. If her young husband could find out, Prince Jin could naturally find out too.
Xiao Hanzheng nodded, "I also think that Prince Jin wants to make trouble between us and our scumbag father."
"After all, the position that my scumbag father holds in North City this time is not low. If he doesn't surrender to King Jin, he will still be able to bring some trouble to King Jin."
Shi Qingluo stroked his chin and smiled, "It's better this way. If it's too far away, we won't be able to respond in time if something happens. It's better to keep it under our noses."
"And we can just watch as Miss Ge and the people from Old Xiao's family tear each other apart."
I regretted not being able to see the three-party fight before, but now itβs right under my nose, I can definitely see it.
Xiao Hanzheng chuckled, "That's right, we have it under our noses. With us keeping an eye on it, the people in the Xiao family can't use my name to cause trouble."
If the Xiao family members were in other counties, they would probably do bad things under his name.
Shi Qingluo curled his lips, "So, then we should thank King Jin."
If Prince Jin wanted to see them fight their scumbag father, then they would do as Prince Jin wished.
