Chapter 40: Hanyang County Governor

"The grass people dare not!" Xiao Yu pretended to be flattered by Emperor Ling of Han.

Emperor Ling of Han smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Say, what do you want? I will do my best to reward you!"

After hearing Emperor Ling's words, Xiao Yu couldn't help but curse in his heart, "What do you mean to do your best?" Are you reluctant to give it to the big ones? Forget the small ones, just small ones. Let's admit it first. As long as you have a good status, you will be worried about scolding you in the future? Seeing that Emperor Ling of Han seemed in a good mood, Xiao Yu said, "I have no idea, I will follow Your Majesty in everything!"

After hearing this, Emperor Ling of Han stroked his beard and pondered for a while and said, "Since that's the case, I will add you to the title of "Ah, is there any vacancy in the court now?"

Seeing that the emperor was interested in letting Xiao Yu stay in the capital, Zhang Rang couldn't help but think that Xiao Yu was more literary and martial. Seeing that he and Lu Zhi were good at being good, I was afraid that he would have formed a great enemy on his side! If he kept him in the capital, wouldn't he become a great enemy? It would be better to transfer him to another place. Thinking of this, he whispered to the emperor: "Your Majesty, according to the intention of a servant, Xiao Yu should be transferred to a place outside the capital. Now that the Yellow Turban thieves have been gradually calmed down, all places need talent management. It would be better for the emperor to release Xiao Yu as an official first and temper him for a few years. Wouldn't it be good to transfer him back after his officialdom mature? Besides, the officials in the capital are too expensive, isn't it too much for us to reward him like this?"

"Yes, yes, thank you for your reminder, otherwise you will lose a lot of money!" Emperor Ling of Han thought that the officials in the capital were sold more expensively, so he rewarded Xiao Yu with such a loss. So he transferred him out for a few years according to Ah's wishes!

"Xiao Yu, you have no experience as an official. I will first transfer you to an official. After a few years of hard work, you will be transferred back to the capital. Are you willing?"

Xiao Yu didn't want to stay in the troublesome court. When he didn't know what to say, the emperor took the initiative to mention it. How could he not want to? He immediately thanked him: "Thank you, my Majesty, I will listen to your Majesty!"

"Hmm? By the way! Your Majesty, did you send someone from Tianshui County to report that the Tianshui County Magistrate died of illness yesterday? Why didn't Your Majesty send him there?" In order to make Xiao Yu stay away from the capital, he shave his heart and finally remembered a place far away from the capital, with a remote terrain and no big oil and water!

Emperor Ling thought about it and felt something was wrong, and asked in a low voice: "Father, it's true that the water was far away from the capital that day, but that place was too remote! Xiao Yu made great contributions to shooting Zhang Jiao, so is it a bit like we put him in Tianshui County..."

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with it? Although Tianshui County was far away from the capital that year, there were many alien races around it! Just tell him that there were more wars there, so that he could serve the country! Does Your Majesty want to hand over other valuable counties to him?"

"No, no, what my father said is, let him go to Tianshui County!" After aggregating his thoughts, Emperor Ling turned his head and said to Xiao Yu, who was kneeling at His Highness, "Xiao Yu! Because you shot and killed Zhang Jiao and made a contribution to the court, and writing a essay is beneficial to the country. I personally appointed you as the governor of Hanyang County, and then reward him when you have made contributions!"

Xiao Yu never thought that Emperor Ling would put himself out of Hanyang so far away, and Hanyang could only be considered an ordinary county and had no large financial income! He cursed: "Hanyang County? Why go to Hanyang County? You were Zhang Rang, the dog eunuch of Wen, transferred me so far away? Hanyang is Hanyang! Sooner or later, you will regret this decision!"

Lu Zhi immediately asked in confusion: "Your Majesty! Although Xiao Yu is a little younger and has no official experience, he is very capable! Why did he send him to Hanyang? Is it too far there?"

"This beloved minister doesn't understand my painstaking efforts! I already know that Xiao Yu has some skills. I sent him to Hanyang County, and I also want to sharpen him! Because it is close to my great Han portal, as long as he can help me guard the western gate of my great Han, I will use it with him!"

"But..." Lu Zhi was still waiting for another word, and Xiao Yu took the lead and thanked him: "I am the governor of Hanyang County, Xiao Yu, thanked the emperor for his kindness!"

Seeing that Xiao Yu had accepted his appointment, Emperor Ling smiled and said, "Well! Xiao Aiqing gets up! Xiao Aiqing works hard to serve me and be a blessing for the Han people!" In the end, Emperor Ling himself laughed out loud. Maybe he was happy that he saved a lot of money, maybe he was happy that Zhang Jiao could live in the wine pond and meat forest after he died, maybe he was happy that his country would become more and more prosperous! I'm afraid only he knew this!

"Thank you Your Majesty, I will definitely guard the west of the Han Dynasty for your Majesty!" Xiao Yu stood up and thanked him.

When the officials in the hall saw that Xiao Yu had obtained the position of irrelevant Hanyang County Magistrate, they did not object or agree. As long as they did not infringe on the interests of their so-called aristocratic families, they would not bother to care!

Soon, Emperor Ling retreated and hurried towards the harem surrounded by Zhang Rang and other attendants. Xiao Yu looked at Emperor Ling's figure when he left and sighed in his heart: "It's all like this, and he still has to run to the harem. I really don't know how to cherish life! It's better for us, we won't be so obsessed with the flowers!"

"Mr. Xiao, don't worry, when I get home, celebrities will send the sweat-blooded BMW to the mansion!" He Jin, who was there, saw that Xiao Yu was still stunned, seemed to be looking at him from the corner of his eyes, and couldn't help but say angrily. After saying that, he shook his sleeves and strode out of the hall!

Lu Zhi walked to Xiao Yu, patted him on the shoulder and advised: "Nephew, although you have been sent to a remote place, you should not be discouraged! He Jin is just a man, don't pay attention to him!"

Xiao Yu came to his senses and smiled embarrassedly after Lu Zhi said this: "What my uncle said is that my nephew will continue to work hard and strive to contribute more to the court!"

"Mr. Xiao is so literary. Could that righteous song be written by myself and given to me?" The old man who had just cried came to Xiao Yu and said, accompanied by several other old men.

When Lu Zhi saw the visitor, he smiled and said, "Nephew, please recommend me to you. This great scholar Cai Yong who cried in the court."

"So it's Master Cai! I don't know how to forgive me."

Cai Yong shook his hand and asked with a smile: "No problem, I want you to pick up the pen and write that poem to me. I wonder if you are willing?"

"The poem can be given to Master Cai, but the boy's handwriting is too bad or not ugly!" Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard that he wanted to write it himself and then give it to him. If his handwriting was taken out in front of Cai Yong, wouldn't it be embarrassing to throw it home? So Xiao Yu hurriedly refused.

Cai Yong said without caring: "I don't care whether you write well or write well. What I want is the author of this poem's handwriting!"

After hearing this, Lu Zhi laughed and said, "Nephew, it doesn't matter whether your handwriting is ugly or not. How good do you want to write in front of Bo Ge? Wouldn't you Wen Fei Bai's body? He just wants the author of this poem's handwriting!"

Xiao Yu smiled awkwardly and bowed to Cai Yong, saying, "Don't worry, Master Cai, I will visit you in person tomorrow, and I will present the poems I wrote in person at that time!"

"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll wait for my nephew at home!" Cai Yong received Xiao Yu's affirmative answer and immediately smiled.
