Jiujiang Governor's Office.
Zhao Lin looked at Butler Fang who was kneeling in front of him.
Such private matters would naturally be handled by Butler Fang himself.
"You came here in person. It seems that Han Yuehua has something shameful to say again." Zhao Lin sneered.
"Young Master Lin..."
As Butler Fang started to speak, Zhao Lin stopped him, saying, "Call me Sir."
"Lord Zhao."
Butler Fang obediently changed his address: "Madam asked you not to reveal your relationship with the Marquis' Mansion, or they will find a way to get you out later."
Zhao Lin was puzzled, but then he understood: "Do you think I've offended the Xiong family and you're afraid of being implicated by me?"
Butler Fang said nothing and agreed.
"Ha ha……"
Zhao Lin laughed and said, "Go back and tell Han Yuehua that she's overthinking it. I've already severed all ties with the Zhenbei Marquisate. Even if I die, I won't tell anyone. Send her out."
Butler Fang kowtowed and said, "Madam is just having a hard time thinking things through. Once she comes to her senses, she will definitely welcome Master Zhao home. No matter what, the young master is still a member of the Marquisate. With the support of Master and Madam, the young master can make further progress, right?"
"Go away."
Zhao Lin waved his hand, too lazy to talk nonsense with Butler Fang.
Sudi said from the side: "Tell that old woman, she will definitely regret it."
Just as Butler Fang stood up and was about to leave, Shen Yuan rushed in from outside and said, "Sir, the imperial edict has arrived, promoting you to Governor-General of Jiangbei."
Zhao Lin was stunned.
Zhao Lin and Sudi looked at each other.
Zhao Lin had never thought about the position of governor.
He was promoted too quickly.
He was a prefect last year and a governor this year.
He has been in the position of governor for less than half a year and he is about to become governor-general?
There has never been anyone in history who got promoted so quickly, right?
Governor!
Butler Fang looked at Zhao Lin in horror.
At this moment, he subconsciously thought that Shen Yuan was lying and that Zhao Lin had deliberately arranged it to save face for him.
But seeing Zhao Lin's confused expression, he felt that he was wrong.
Zhao Lin really became the governor!
Butler Fang quickly bowed and said, "Congratulations, young master. Congratulations, young master. The Governor of Jiangbei, a frontier official, is unparalleled."
Zhao Lin glanced at Butler Fang indifferently, ignored him, and strode out.
Sudi followed closely behind Zhao Lin and ordered, "Kick them out."
Shen Yuan looked at Butler Fang, who quickly said, "I'll go by myself."
Zhao Lin led all the people in the mansion to receive the imperial edict.
Anquan laughed shrilly, "Governor Zhao, congratulations, congratulations. Three promotions in two years, one year as prefect, half a year as governor, and now you're governor. Your speed of advancement would make those who have been county magistrates their whole lives jealous."
Zhao Lin smiled and said, "It must be the efforts of Eunuch Zhu and Eunuch An, otherwise how could the position of Governor fall to me?"
Anquan chuckled and said, "You're right. It really was all thanks to my godfather."
After dismissing his attendants and safely explaining the entire process, Zhao Lin exclaimed in surprise, "Eunuch Zhu is truly thoughtful. Eunuch Zhu is so kind, I really don't know how to repay him."
Anquan said, "Godfather isn't helping you, he's helping the world. His only wish is for peace in the world and a long life for His Majesty. But now His Majesty can't live a long life, and the world is not peaceful, so he can only find a way for you, the one who can bring peace to the world, to step forward."
Zhao Lin knew what safety meant and said, "Please rest assured, Eunuch An. In three years at most, Eunuch Zhu will be able to gain control of the northwest."
Anquan nodded with satisfaction: "As long as you know what's going on."
He ordered his men to take An'an to enjoy the feast. Zhao Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty's kindness must be repaid."
Sudi asked, "How do you repay me?"
Zhao Lin said, "There are many beautiful women in the Northwest, and their styles are different from those in the Central Plains. We can select a few to present to Your Majesty."
"The flowers, plants, and unusual rocks there are very different from those in the Central Plains. I'm sure Your Majesty will like them too."
"Also, select some gold and silver items and claim they are newly captured property to be handed over to Your Majesty."
When giving gifts, you should give what the recipient likes.
Cheng** was so willing to let Zhao Lin be the governor, wasn't it because the gifts Zhao Lin gave him touched Cheng**'s heart?
Gold, silver, beauties, exotic flowers, plants and stones.
This is what Cheng** likes.
Zhao Lin gave him enough at once.
"Zhao Lin is the new governor?"
Upon receiving the news, Chi Qiaoyu's eyes almost popped out.
He was still waiting to see how the Xiong family would retaliate against Zhao Lin.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Lin did not face revenge, but was promoted first.
"Governor..."
Chi Qiaoyu was envious.
Don’t think that the position from governor to governor-general is only one step away.
But sometimes this step can never be taken in a lifetime.
After all, there are only fourteen governors in the world, but how many governors-general are there?
Three provinces in the north, three provinces in the northwest, two provinces north of the Yangtze River, three provinces in the southeast, and three provinces in the southwest.
There are currently only these five governors.
Although the number of governors will change according to changes in the situation, it will only decrease, not increase.
For example, before the Northern Di invasion, in order to resist the Northern Di, the imperial court specially set up seven provincial governors, directly dividing the three northern provinces, the three northwestern provinces and the Beiyuan province into one place and put one person in charge.
So when Chi Qiaoyu heard that Zhao Lin had become the governor of Jiangbei, his eyes turned red with envy.
"Who would have thought that this young man whom I just met last time would become my immediate superior just a few days later?"
Chi Qiaoyu just felt that the world was changing too fast and he couldn't keep up.
Chi Qiaoyu immediately prepared gifts and went to the Jiujiang Governor's Office.
"Congratulations, my Lord, on becoming the Governor-General of Jiangbei. I will rely on your guidance in the future."
Chi Qiaoyu keeps a low profile.
There is no way, the higher the rank, the more powerful the person.
