Chapter 555 You Are the Most Suitable
For example, Mo Jiuye now has a golden word "king" on the heart guard of his armor.
This is the biggest symbol of his current identity as the King of Zhenxi.
There are also several other brothers of the Mohist School, and the heart guards on them all have the golden word "General" written on them.
The word "general" is also divided into many levels. The highest-level military general is in golden font, and most of them are the rank of general.
When the prefect, the county magistrates, and the officials who came with him saw these people in armor, they hurriedly lifted their robes, knelt down and kowtowed. At the same time, they did not forget to observe the symbols on the armor of several people from the corner of their eyes.
After confirming Mo Jiuye's identity as the King of Zhenxi, everyone, led by the prefect, shouted in unison: "Greetings to the King of Zhenxi, long live the thousand years! Long live the thousand years!"
Mo Jiuye never cared about these empty formalities, but because of their brief encounter at Jingxianlou and how he dealt with the corpses some time ago, he disliked this person very much.
In particular, when they were chatting, he also asked Meng Huaining whether he had successfully asked the prefect for money.
At that time, Meng Huaining told him that when the prefect heard that he asked the state government to allocate funds to purchase high-yield grain seeds, the prefect's face suddenly turned dark, and he refused without even a shred of hesitation.
Through the above things, Mo Jiuye can conclude that this prefect is not a good official.
The Northwest has become his fiefdom, and the transfer of officials is also under his jurisdiction. Mo Jiuye will not use a prefect who does not do his job.
Originally, he wanted to wait until the war was over before reorganizing things.
Unexpectedly, the prefect actually came to my door today.
In that case, he didn't hesitate to use this little bit of time to arrange things first.
Having made up his mind, Mo Jiuye simply told them to get up, and then walked towards the back.
Meng Huaining was going to send his uncles off to war today, so naturally he would not go to the yamen to take up his post. At this moment, he was standing there observing the expressions of the prefect and his entourage.
Mo Jiuye walked over and pulled Meng Huaining to a place with fewer people.
"Huaining, I plan to let you be the prefect, what do you think?"
This incident surprised Meng Huaining a little.
"Ninth brother, why did you make such arrangements?" In fact, he knew the prefect's character very well and knew that his ninth brother would dismiss this person sooner or later after he got the fiefdom, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Moreover, he had never really thought about being a prefect. Mo Hanyue liked Xiling Village. When he was the county magistrate in Yuncheng, he could ride a horse back and forth every day. If he were to go to the provincial capital, it would be too far away from Xiling Village.
This way he won't be able to spend every day with his young wife.
Mo Jiuye had no idea about Meng Huaining's concerns.
"This prefect must be someone capable, and at the moment, you seem to be the most suitable."
Of course it is appropriate. According to the historical records in the daughter-in-law's space, Meng Huaining is the first person to assist the country of Nanyu. It is indeed a waste of talent for him to be the prefect.
He did not intend to block Meng Huaining's future, but felt that since Nanyu had not asked him to go to Beijing, it would be a good idea to help him in the northwest for some time.
Before Meng Huaining could speak, a burst of rapid horse hooves sounded in the distance, accompanied by someone shouting, "The imperial edict has arrived..."
When everyone heard that the imperial edict had arrived, they all looked at each other in confusion. No one understood. Why did another imperial edict come so soon after the previous one?
The person who delivered the imperial edict this time looked like a guard, and judging from his muscular physique, he should also be a martial arts master.
The messenger rode on his horse and held up the imperial edict: "Meng Huaining, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, accepts the order."
Now, everyone's eyes fell on Meng Huaining again.
Meng Huaining was also confused, but he still knelt respectfully in front of the person who delivered the decree.
The others did the same and knelt down along with Meng Huaining.
Meng Huaining shouted, "Your Highness Meng Huaining accepts the order."
The person who delivered the imperial edict did not delay at all. He unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and read it respectfully.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that Yuncheng County Magistrate Meng Huaining possesses both literary and military skills, and possesses both talent and integrity..."
In short, Meng Huaining was praised in various ways in the beginning, and the main topic in the end was to order him to rush to the capital to assist the emperor within a month, and his position was the first-class duke and chief minister.
The chief minister is a very important position. It is an official position with more power than the prime minister. Since the founding of the Dashun Dynasty, only the ancestor emperor has appointed a chief minister.
Later, because the Prime Minister was good at playing power games and had inappropriate thoughts, he was dismissed.
From then on, in order not to give his ministers such great power, the emperors of Dashun never appointed any prime minister again.
You don't need to ask to know that this work must have been done by Nan Yu.
Emperor Shunwu was very suspicious, especially since the incident with the Queen's faction had just been settled. He did not have the courage to create another powerful official.
It can be seen that Nanyu is very decisive and has an extraordinary ability to identify talents.
He knew that Meng Huaining would become his right-hand man, so he summoned him back to the capital with an imperial decree and directly appointed him as the Prime Minister.
Of course, this part is also very different from history.
According to historical records, Meng Huaining had been with Nan Yu for many years and made great contributions to his conquest of the country, which led to his later position as Prime Minister, and this should have happened many years later.
However, all these changes are good. Meng Huaining took power earlier and could help Nanyu develop faster.
Now, Meng Huaining no longer has to worry about not being able to return to Xiling Village after becoming the prefect, and can go directly to the capital to take up his post.
Meng Huaining took the imperial edict in astonishment.
The messenger said without a word, "The Emperor is in need of personnel right now. His first imperial decree upon ascending the throne is to summon the Prime Minister to the capital. I hope you will not disappoint the Emperor's high hopes for you."
Could Meng Huaining say that he didn't want to go?
cannot!
That would be disobeying the order, and besides, Nan Yu did save his life. If it weren't for Nan Yu's help, he would probably have lost his life now.
"Okay, I'll go to Beijing right away after I'm ready."
As soon as the messenger left, the Mo brothers surrounded Meng Huaining in an instant.
The eldest brother patted his shoulder and said, "Brother-in-law is a man of great talent. Staying in the small northwest would definitely bury your talent. Now that the emperor has taken a fancy to you, it is an honor for your Meng family and also for the Mo family."
These words expressed the thoughts of all the Mo brothers. Although they all hoped that their sister and brother-in-law could stay in the northwest and live with them, no one wanted to hinder their future.
People with abilities should be placed in appropriate positions.
Mo Chuhan walked out of the crowd. He spent the most time with Meng Huaining and they had the closest relationship.
He put his arm around Meng Huaining's shoulders and said righteously:
"You must remember this, my boy. Han Yue has the support of the nine of us brothers. If we hear that she is unhappy in the capital, be careful that we brothers will come and destroy your mansion."
