Chapter 603 605. Come Fast
Back to the prefectural government
Gu Wenheng immediately asked everyone to leave.
Seeing his solemn expression, Jin Qianqian also became serious, "We are just going out for a meal, why do you look so serious?"
"I don't think the days ahead will be as leisurely as they are now."
Jin Qianqian, "..."
Gu Wenheng pointed to the sky and said, "Some conflicts have already begun to emerge. We must be more careful in the future."
Jin Qianqian understood immediately, "Someone has already tried to win you over."
Gu Wenheng smiled bitterly, “It’s not that blatant, I just gave some hints.
I didn't expect that these people have already started making preparations when the prince is still so young."
“So sometimes we have to think from the perspective of the ancients, because some struggles are ingrained in their bones.
I guess it was General Zhou who hinted to you this time?"
Gu Wenheng gave her a thumbs up, "Whether he wants to fight or not, as the in-law of the two legitimate princes, he has no way out.
But I have already turned it down secretly. There is no need for us to join the team so early. The emperor is still so young. Even if he has a good relationship with Brother Zhou, there is no need to rush in. "
Jin Qianqian raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "Do you still want to take sides in the future?"
Gu Wenheng shook his head, "It's just a temporary excuse. It's better to be a loyal minister than to be a fence-sitter.
Therefore, we will continue to work outside in the coming days and try not to get involved in matters in the capital."
Jin Qianqian also thought this was a good idea, "But some things can't be done the way we think they should be. I'm afraid we won't be able to control ourselves when the time comes."
Gu Wenheng knew exactly what Jin Qianqian said.
It is estimated that the entire Rong Dynasty officialdom has now classified them into the same group as the Zhou family.
"Brother Zhou is a smart man. He knows my future position and naturally doesn't want others to disrupt this balance.
Don't worry, when they are in this position, as long as they want something, everything they do has to be carefully considered.
It's just that my wife has to run around with me again, and everything has to start all over again."
Jin Qianqian, “Days like this are challenging.
But there are some things we need to discuss first. You have to take it easy in the days ahead. It won’t be good if you become too famous.”
"Listen to your wife. Don't reveal anything from now on. Let's get along with Brother Zhou as usual."
Jin Qianqian naturally understood, "Let's just pretend that there is no such thing as trying to win them over. They are just two children. Are we going to let them get close to us in the future?"
Gu Wenheng had a headache. The person those two boys admired most was Zhou Shixiong, so it was unrealistic to ask them not to get close to him for the time being.
"Let everything take its course. When the appointment letter comes, maybe we will be in different places, north and south. As time goes by, we will slowly forget about it."
"That's the only way to think about it," Jin Qianqian touched Gu Wenheng's head at this time, "Even if the sky falls, you'll still be there to hold it up. My child and I have high hopes for you."
Gu Wenheng, "..."

The person who came to take over was obviously much faster than they expected.
Gu Wenheng looked at the date. It was obvious that they had to set off immediately after it was decided. Wasn't that a bit too hasty?
How could he know that as soon as these people received the transfer order, they packed up their simple bags and set off with their men.
There are really too many people watching these positions, and they are also worried about any accidents happening.
Gu Wenheng didn't recognize any of the people who came.
The new prefect Tang Liping, the co-prefect Shi Xingchen, the main wife Wan, and the assistant judge Wang Youtian.
As for these unfamiliar faces, even He Gaofei, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, is not familiar with them.
Both sides were polite after exchanging greetings.
Especially Tang Liping and his friends, they knew that these people would be promoted after returning to Beijing, and their careers would be much smoother than theirs in the future, so they naturally wanted to make friends with them.
"You didn't delay along the way. You've arrived before we even received the news." Lu Shenggen couldn't help but speak first, leaving Wu Yichen on the side too late to stop him.
Fortunately, the four people in front of him did not show any expression in response to the questioning which was slightly malicious.
Especially the leader Tang Liping, who smiled and replied, "You all don't know how much people in the capital envy us for being able to take over. We are lucky enough to stand out, so we naturally have to be very excited.
As soon as he received the transfer order, he did not dare to delay and hurried over.
I just wanted to get more time from you all, but it was really a bit rude."
Gu Wenheng, "Master Tang is too polite, we will study together then.
As long as it can benefit the people of this area, as long as Lord Tang asks, this government will tell you everything we know."
Even if they come to take over, the time has not arrived yet, so this is their home ground.
Tang Liping obviously understood what he heard, and his face became even more respectful, "Yes, officials should serve the people.
It is thanks to the hard work of several adults in recent years that Lucheng has become prosperous today.
When going to Beijing, many people circulated the changes in the legal city in recent years as files.
During this journey, we often discussed how we could learn from the masters better. Even if we couldn't make any progress, we should try our best to maintain the status quo. "
Only then did Gu Wenheng look at Tang Liping seriously. He was really not a simple person.
Look at how beautiful the words are and how upright the attitude is, even He Gaofei and the others, who were originally somewhat hostile towards them, softened their expressions.
"You have worked hard on this journey, but you came so suddenly that we haven't cleared the back office yet. You may have to stay in the inn for a while."
Now that everyone is here, Gu Wenheng naturally has to make arrangements.
It's not impossible to live in the post station, but the place is a bit remote and there are few officials coming and going, so it's really a bit shabby.
The government office was not short of this little money now, and when they arrived, Gu Wenheng had already asked his men to go to the inn and book a small courtyard.
"This is what we should do," Tang Liping said with a smile, "We have caused trouble for you gentlemen."
It was inevitable to encounter such a thing during the handover, but Tang Liping and the others were a little surprised.
This Lord Gu is the prefect, so it is natural for him to live in the prefect's backyard.
They all knew that the prefect's back office was only this big, but the ancient prefect was different from these officials. He had been in charge of maritime trade for many years and had already made a fortune.
According to their guess, a better yard should have been bought outside, but they didn't expect it to be different from what they imagined.
Gu Wenheng didn’t know what they were thinking, otherwise he would have just smiled it off.
You are not planning to settle down here for the rest of your life, so why waste your energy on those things?
If you have time, you might as well spend more time with your wife and children in the backyard.
