People with strength will be treated as guests of honor wherever they go.
After the debate in prison ended.
The magistrate of Mengjin County personally took Jia Shao out of prison, took him to the county government office, and sent someone to boil hot water for Jia Shao to take a bath and change clothes.
And entertain them warmly with good wine and delicious food.
The backyard of the county government office.
In the main hall.
Jia Shao, who had just taken a shower, was wearing a navy blue Confucian robe and his hair was still slightly wet.
That handsome face made the ordinary Confucian robe that the Mengjin County Magistrate had hastily asked someone to buy look like a "unparalleled young man"!
He sat at the dining table and ate slowly.
Not only does he have an unparalleled aura, but he also looks unfathomable.
Yes.
After the conversation just now, in the eyes of the Mengjin County Magistrate, Jia Shao is truly an unparalleled master!
I just don't know... why such a great person would hang out with those idiots from the 'Anti-Xian Alliance'?
The magistrate of Mengjin County hesitated for a long time, but still took the initiative to ask: "Sir, are you...really a member of the Anti-Xian Alliance?"
It makes absolutely no sense!
Hearing this, Cui Xian was slightly startled, then shook his head and laughed: "It's just a misunderstanding. I have no opinion on Cui Xian."
The magistrate of Mengjin County breathed a sigh of relief.
He said, how could such a talented man who is good at planning and strategizing be associated with a bunch of idiots.
But since the magistrate of Mengjin County mentioned the "Anti-Xian Alliance", Cui Xian said: "Sir, in my opinion, the group of people in the Anti-Xian Alliance are still useful."
"Please let them out. We will need these people to help with the river embankment repair work for the refugees outside the city."
This is not simply 'work-for-relief'.
The government cannot openly participate in this matter; 'people spontaneously gathering to repair the river embankment' is the key to this auspicious sign.
Yan Siyuan and others had previously provided relief to the victims on their own initiative, and they should have accumulated some reputation. It would be just right for them to guide the people in repairing the river embankment.
It also gives them a chance to make amends.
The magistrate of Mengjin County thought for a moment and understood what Jia Shao meant. He snorted coldly and said, "Fortunately, you are here, otherwise these idiots would cause a terrible disaster."
After saying that.
He looked at an officer at the yamen and ordered, "Bring over those members of the anti-Xian alliance."
The magistrate of Mengjin County was extremely disgusted with this group of idiots.
Therefore, he only respectfully asked Cui Xian to be released from prison, while Yan Siyuan and others were still locked up there!
After a cup of tea.
Yan Siyuan and others arrived at the county government office covered in dust and dirt.
Two former leaders of the anti-Xian alliance, Qi Huaiming and Ruan Xiude, were also brought here.
Both of them were young boys, and they had obviously heard about Jia Shao's deeds. At the moment they looked depressed and uneasy, and looked at Jia Shao with admiration and gratitude.
But, compared to their dirty and dusty appearance, they felt uneasy and guilty.
Jia Shao sat at the dinner table, and the county magistrate personally poured wine and served him food, looking so majestic and comfortable.
The magistrate of Mengjin County ignored these idiots and only looked at Jia Shao, lowering his posture and asking for advice: "The matter of the auspicious sign in Mengjin, from the specific details to going to the capital to see the emperor, every step must be done with care."
"Please give me some advice, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Siyuan and others became excited and looked at Jia Shao.
They were all about the same age, and they were getting into trouble. But Jia Shao was already stirring up the world, and the magistrate of Mengjin County bowed his head and asked for advice!
What a graceful demeanor!
Cui Xian looked at the magistrate of Mengjin County and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, don't worry too much. You just need to remember that this trip to the capital is to help your father and king relieve their worries. That's enough."
"But you and I both know that once the auspicious event in Mengjin is reported, even if it is exaggerated, it will inevitably arouse suspicion and investigation."
This is also what the Mengjin County Magistrate is worried about.
After all, "auspiciousness" is man-made!
Can't stand up to scrutiny.
At this time, Jia Shao continued, "So, you have to give a detail. If you take the initiative to give a detail, you won't be forced to make up the details when others question you, which will put you in a passive position."
"And the details you gave can only be used as an excuse to prove that the emperor is the key to this auspicious event, and that he is the Holy Son of Heaven who is appreciated by millions of people."
Hearing this.
Yan Siyuan and others racked their brains but could not figure out how to give this detail.
The magistrate of Mengjin County couldn’t figure it out either - nonsense, if he had such great means, why would he still be a county magistrate at the age of 40?
Therefore, the magistrate of Mengjin County stood up and said sincerely: "Teacher, teach me!"
"The emperor and father are also human beings, and they will be moved. The auspicious event is a blessing from heaven and a great love! But to put it bluntly, under its colorful appearance, there is no emotion to support it."
Cui Xian smiled and said, "Your Majesty has been worried about the imperial edict. As your subjects, we naturally have to share your worries."
"If thousands of refugees from Shaanxi spontaneously gathered in Mengjin, expressing gratitude to His Majesty the Holy Emperor for his kindness, and built a river embankment for Mengjin, when the embankment was being built, carp from the Yellow River would jump out of the water, and the people would exclaim: This is the Holy Emperor's praise and gift for us building the embankment!"
"The hungry people built a fire and grilled the fish on the spot. After eating the fish, they cried and lamented that there was no such delicious food in the world!"
"I really want our Majesty to taste this delicious fish."
"Then, Your Excellency, you will rush to the capital to report the auspicious omen, and send a boat to bring the Yellow River carp caught by the people to present to His Majesty."
"This story of 'giving fish to the Holy Emperor in Mengjin' is worthy of being recorded in history books. Your Majesty can be like King Wu, Dayu, and Liu Bang in the past, and be obeyed by the people and fulfilled by the will of heaven!"
