Chapter 526: Endless Argument



Judging from her mother-in-law's past style, she would either not do it, or if she did it, she would definitely do it to the best of her ability!

With the examples of Changnan Town and Anhua County, if her mother-in-law were to take charge of the development here, there would be no need for the court to publicize it, and a large number of people who wanted to make a living would definitely come here.

But in this case, the government has to resettle the population, organize people's production and life, and establish a completely new social order. The task is extremely heavy!

Looking at Wulang, who was wolfing down his food as if he was in a hurry, Wang Caiwei felt so distressed!

There are only a dozen or so people in the government office in Jiangcheng who can take charge of things. All major matters have to be approved by Liu Heng and Qiao Wulang before they dare to go ahead and do it!

The two of them are like the axle of a wheel, once they start turning, they can't stop!

"Why doesn't the court send more people?"

"When delivering the victory report, we had already submitted three petitions to the imperial court asking for the release of the person. They may have many things to consider. Until they reply, we can only rely on the two unlucky guys to hold on!"

While eating, Liu Heng cursed incoherently: "If those good-for-nothings in the Ministry of Personnel don't send the right people, I will devote myself to the country and die!"

Look at what he has become now. He no longer has the demeanor of a nobleman. He is ordered around like an ox, horse, or mule every day!

Qiao Wulang hurriedly comforted him: "Uncle, it's not that serious, it's not that serious! If it really doesn't work, I'll go back and ask my second and third brothers about the situation!"

It's not that he felt sorry for Liu Heng, but he was afraid that if such a capable helper quit, all these things would fall on his father's head!

His grandmother said that my cousin is at the age of full vigor and vitality, so he should do more work to expend some energy. It would be best if he could go home so tired that he could fall asleep immediately and not want to do anything!

If you still have the energy to drink and visit brothels, it means you haven't done enough. Wouldn't that mean you've taken Dr. Mo's medicine in vain?

Look, he let his cousin stay and do more work just for his uncle's happiness in the second half of his life!

Liu Heng had no idea what Qiao Wulang was thinking, but the memorial he sent to the capital gave the people in the Ministry of Personnel a headache!

Liu Heng asked for five prefects, a commander-in-chief, and a long list of suitable official positions. Even if all the students admitted this year were put in, it would not be enough to fill the gap.

Not to mention following the official transfer procedures step by step.

It was really because Qiao Xin and her son had recovered too much territory and too quickly.

They were caught off guard!

While the gentlemen were diligently making arrangements, they were also thinking about whether there were any positions suitable for their good-for-nothing evildoers.

In front was Xu Can, and in the back was Liu Heng. Both of them were famous overlords in the capital. Now they have been trained by Qiao Xin to become pillars of the country.

Among the new appointments at this time, only these two were directly named by His Majesty.

Let’s not talk about how great the honor is, just talk about the position of prefect in front of you. It is the end of many people’s lives, but it is only the starting point for these two young people!

But what no one expected was that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually recommended Qiao Sanlang to be the prefect of Yunzhong!

Emperor Wu asked the reason.

"Cloud City is located at the border, with a complex population and different languages.

In addition to our Dajing people, there are many civilians from other ethnic groups. The means and methods of managing this place in the future will definitely be different from other places.

Qiao Sanlang is proficient in various languages. Isn't it a waste of his talent for him to be just a chief clerk in the Honglu Temple?

Father, he is the most low-key of all the children raised by the old lady, but the old lady's evaluation of him is that he is very reserved and his talent is quite similar to his father's!"

The left prime minister was the first to stand up and object: "There is no such precedent in this dynasty for a father and a son to serve as governor at the same time!

The men of the Qiao family have served enough in this dynasty.

Your Majesty, if you let this continue, half of this country will soon become theirs!"

The prince looked at the left prime minister with a smile.

"Prime Minister, have you forgotten that Qiao Erlang is actually your grandson? Old Madam Qiao has already separated from the family.

If it is taboo for father and son to serve in the same court, shouldn't it be you, Lord Left Prime Minister, who should hand in your resignation and return home?

The Qiao family has taken back such a large piece of land, but when you appointed officials, you actually excluded all the Qiao family members. Do you want the world to curse my father, treat meritorious officials poorly, and be mean and ungrateful?"

The Left Prime Minister was secretly furious when someone brought up his family scandal in public, but since this person was the crown prince, he had no choice but to hold it in!

"A gentleman should be upright in his conduct, and I have a clear conscience!"

He seemed to have suffered a great humiliation and took the opportunity to save face.

"It is precisely because they are my children and grandchildren that I cannot be partial to them."

Marquis Xiaoyao put his hands in his sleeves and complained quietly to the King of Qi.

"Tsk~~, you old man, you are such a hypocrite, you talk better than you sing.

If he really cared about his children and grandchildren, he should have retired early and returned home instead of occupying the position of Left Prime Minister like he is now, blocking Qiao Yunqing's path to promotion."

Although Qiao Yunqing had made remarkable political achievements, he had remained in the position of prefect of Yuncheng for seven or eight years.

Every time Emperor Wu wanted to transfer his position, there would be a large group of people in the court to stop him. Wasn’t the reason that father and son could not serve in the same court?

Especially when Qiao Xin divided the family, Qiao Yunqing's identity was made public. There was a group of censors who had nothing better to do, and they kept submitting memorials to Emperor Wu asking him to dismiss Qiao Yunqing from his post.

If the war between Nanliang and Dajing had not broken out, and Qiao Yunqing had not been needed to stay in Yuncheng, I'm afraid this group of people would have succeeded!

This time they went even further!

Among nearly a hundred official positions, not a single one was reserved for the Qiao family. Even for students from Qingyang Academy, only ten places were given.

The rest are left to the aristocratic families or officials who are married into aristocratic families!

Not to mention giving Xu Can, the granddaughter of the Qiao family, the position of prefect.

But Xu Can represents a noble family after all, and can a grandson and a grandson-in-law be the same?

If the old lady doesn't fight for it, the court will feel at ease not to give it. Aren't they afraid that Qiao Xin will lead the army to rebel in anger?

Emperor Wu's voice was calm, yet it carried a firmness that was irresistible.

"The old lady has mentioned a few names for the prefect, you may want to take a look at them!"

"Who is this Wu Yichen?"

"Isn't this the current magistrate of Anhua County?"

"What about He Jinzhuo?"

"Isn't this the last runner-up? Is he still working as an editor in the Imperial Academy?"

And Prince Heng...

These... these people either only hold positions of the sixth or seventh rank, or are royal relatives who only held honorary positions like Prince Heng.

If this matter were to be brought up like this, the officialdom of Dajing would probably be shaken three times!

But if you were Qiao Xin, she would have harbored selfish motives, and she wouldn't have even mentioned her grandson-in-law and grandson.

Just when everyone thought that there would be another period of wrangling, Liu Heng sent three urgent memorials in succession, urging the court to send people quickly!
