Ding'an Earl Fu Xiaoguan, who is praised by the people of Shangjing as a gynecological expert, has been in the palace these days, which has made life difficult for Yun Xiyan, who ranked first in the special examination.
Of course, he got the letter of appointment on May 15th.
But his letter of appointment is different from others!
Others were appointed to serve as officials in certain counties in certain states. For example, Sima Che's appointment letter was written like this:
Wofengdao Official Appointment Letter:
Sima Che:
After discussion, it has been decided to hire you as the county magistrate of Ningsang County, Qingzhou, Wofeng Road, from the beginning of July in the tenth year of Xuanli to June 30th in the eleventh year of Xuanli, with a term of one year. After the expiration of the term, based on the assessment results of the Wofeng Road Inspection Office, if you are qualified, both parties will voluntarily sign another three-year appointment letter.
This certificate is issued hereby.
Wofeng Daotai: Fu Xiaoguan.
On May 15th of the tenth year of the Xuanli calendar.
The employment letters of the other students basically followed this template, except for Yun Xiyan's!
His letter of appointment reads as follows:
Yun Xiyan:
Please stay in Jinling temporarily and wait for further notification from me!
Fu Xiaoguan, the governor of Wofeng Road.
On May 15th of the tenth year of the Xuanli calendar.
Until further notice... What does this mean?
I still remember the night when I met the emperor, when we entertained the other nine students at Sun Tuobei Hotpot, He Shengan said that this was a good thing!
"Think about it, you're number one! Logically, you should be at least a county magistrate, but Earl Ding'an kept you in Jinling. This must be for great use!"
The other students also agreed with this, and Sima Che was no exception.
He was naturally happy in his heart. He drank a lot that night and then stayed in Jinling with peace of mind.
But this one... has stayed until now!
He looked forward to being summoned by Ding'anbo every day. He even stayed in the inn and wrote down his ideas for a full twenty pages!
But he did not wait for the news that Ding Anbo summoned him, but instead waited for Ding Anbo's title of gynecological expert -
It turned out that Ding'an Bo's wife had given birth, but it was a difficult delivery. No wonder Ding'an Bo was busy.
After receiving this news, he felt a little relieved, but he was also amazed at the rumors that spread all over the capital.
The topic that people all over the city are talking about now is Ding Anbo, and they say that Ding Anbo is a god-like existence!
Yun Xiyan never believed in God, but he was particularly curious about how Earl Ding'an saved the Ninth Princess from giving birth - that lord was truly omnipotent!
The people in the capital city dared not gossip about this matter.
Since the rumor has spread and no government has stepped in to stop it, it at least means that the wife and child of Earl Ding'an are indeed safe.
Therefore, Ding'anbo now has three famous titles:
Small landlord by the river!
The best writer in the world!
Gynecological expert...why does this title feel so awkward?
In fact, Yun Xiyan knew that Fu Xiaoguan’s real strengths lay in his military strategy and his way of governing the world!
This gentleman is truly amazing!
But five days have passed, and my colleagues who were heading to Wofeng Road are almost reaching their destination... Has Earl Ding'an really forgotten about me?
…
…
Fu Xiaoguan did not forget Yun Xiyan, but he was too busy now and had no time to ask Yun Xiyan to come and meet him.
He was currently in Dieyi Palace, not in the side courtyard where Yu Wenjun was recuperating, but in Xiuchun Pavilion in the back garden.
There were only him and the Queen Shang here. Although the sun was shining brightly, the atmosphere was a bit chilly.
The cold aura emanated from Queen Shang, even though she was standing in the sunlight in front of the window.
“People’s words are scary!”
Fu Xiaoguan was silent for three breaths, then said, "Rumors stop at the wise... If they are unwise, then kill them!"
"The Six Gates, together with Drizzle Tower, have already killed over six hundred people in the martial arts world."
"In my son-in-law's opinion, it's not enough."
"How many did you ask Su Jue to kill?"
Fu Xiaoguan took a sip from the teacup, his face grim, "Kill until the water in the rivers and lakes turns red!"
Queen Shang was still looking out the window, without saying a word for a long time... How many people would be killed until the water in the river turned red?
She took a deep breath, and the coldness in her body disappeared.
She turned around, walked to the tea table, sat down opposite Fu Xiaoguan, and said with a smile: "I have always thought that you are a kind-hearted person."
Fu Xiaoguan poured a cup of tea for Empress Shang and said calmly, "Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."
"I should be the one thanking you."
"This is what a son-in-law should do."
Queen Shang looked carefully at the young man in front of her, her heart filled with warmth.
"But that's not a rumor. I'm really a member of the Ce Sect!"
Fu Xiaoguan's hand holding the teacup froze for a moment. After two breaths, he put down the teacup and said with a smile, "In my heart, Your Majesty is only my mother-in-law."
Queen Shang laughed, "Are you really not curious?"
"Curiosity killed the cat...Ah, no, my father said you're a good person, and this matter ends here. So, put an end to those rumors, and this matter will be over."
Queen Shang didn't know why curiosity killed the cat, but after hearing this, she looked at Fu Xiaoguan meaningfully, "Now it seems that the truly remarkable one is that fat guy!"
Fu Xiaoguan was stunned. Empress Shang didn't explain, but abruptly changed the subject and asked, "The seven-day period has passed, and Wen Yun hasn't had a fever. Does that mean she's safe?"
Fu Xiaoguan nodded and said, "Wenyun has a good foundation and has recovered well these days. My plan is to take Wenyun home tomorrow, and I will set off for Wofeng Road around June 15th."
"We're leaving so soon..." Queen Shang sighed, then suddenly asked, "Aren't you going to wait for the first batch of gold from the gold mine in Minshan?"
Fu Xiaoguan opened his mouth in astonishment, then smiled bitterly, "Even this hasn't escaped the Queen's discerning eyes..." He suddenly leaned forward and lowered his voice, asking, "I suppose the Queen hasn't told His Majesty yet?"
Queen Shang smiled slyly, "Guess?"
"...Sitong Bank will give you a 10% stake!"
Empress Shang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, "I believe that with your ability, you will not issue banknotes recklessly. Sooner or later, you will return to the Wu Dynasty. I hope that after you leave, you will leave the Yu Dynasty with a prosperous scene, not... a mess."
Fu Xiaoguan sat up straight and bowed, "No matter where I am, I will always regard the Yu Dynasty as my homeland. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"You go... I'll sit for a while."
"Goodbye, son-in-law!"
"Um."
Fu Xiaoguan stood up and left, but Queen Shang was still sitting in front of the tea table.
She frowned and tasted the tea carefully, but couldn't taste anything.
Fu Xiaoguan gave her the list of candidates and placed it on the tea table. It was not until this moment that she picked it up and flipped through it.
The Grand Elder of Cemen: Su Changsheng!
She suddenly smiled, took out a fire stick, lit the list, and threw it into the incense burner.
She took out another key from her sleeve pocket, looked at it carefully, stood up and walked out of Xiuchun Pavilion, took a hoe, and buried the key under the flower tree.
From then on, everything about the Moon Worship Cult ceased to exist.
