Chapter 22 The position of the prefect
"Good news, the court's 800-mile express..." Xu Yuanzhi's sharp and harsh shouts broke the tranquility of the morning. Tang Feng, who was having breakfast with Zhou Yan, Liu Minghai and Huang Jizu, saw Xu Yuanzhi staggeringly running in.
"You scholars are a bit dignified and steady. Don't stumble and break yourself up early in the morning. We can't afford to pay!" Liu Minghai shouted when he saw this.
"Oh, it's so steady at this time. The whole world has lost pies, so how can you not be excited?" Xu Yuanzhi rushed to the table in one breath, picked up the porridge on the table and took a sip of it.
"Don't worry, slow down, be careful to get hot. What exactly makes you Xu Yuanzhi so happy?" Tang Feng patted Xu Yuanzhi's back and said, afraid that he would choke if he was too anxious to drink porridge.
Xu Yuanzhi put down the porridge bowl and wiped his mouth with his hands. After more than three months of getting along, everyone became very familiar with each other and had no concerns about their own image.
Xu Yuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you still remember the last time we submitted a letter to the court to ask for merit? The court replied, and it was sent in a hurry to 800 yuan. Do you know how the court responded?" After saying that, Xu Yuanzhi showed his snow-white teeth.
"You said it!" Liu Minghai shouted.
"Yes, don't be anxious!" Zhou Yan continued.
"The court replied that Brother Tang was appointed as the governor of Youzhou, and controlled the sixteen states of Yanyun, and all the generals were promoted to the next level! Haha..." Xu Yuanzhi replied happily, and after that, he took out the eight hundred miles of urgent documents in his arms for everyone to watch.
Tang Feng just smiled faintly when he heard Xu Yuanzhi's words, and his heart was not very disturbed. He didn't expect that the official position granted by the court was greater than he expected. It can be seen that Xu Yuanzhi was right before, and the court also needed this scarce victory.
On the contrary, Zhou Yan, Liu Minghai and Huang Jizu all smiled and cheered loudly, and hurriedly snatched the urgent documents from Xu Yuanzhi's hand to check.
"Brother, you are going to be the governor. Our Xizhi Village has a big shot." Zhou Yan hugged Tang Feng and said happily. He was really happy. He was happy to see that the eldest brother he admired had an official position. As for him, Zhou Yan never thought too much.
"By the way, Mr. Xu, what a great official is this governor?" Zhou Yan recovered and looked at Xu Yuanzhi with a questioning look on his face.
"The official position is not very high, but the power is very great, especially when it comes to Brother Tang who can control the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. In other words, our entire Yanyun area is basically under the jurisdiction of Brother Tang." Xu Yuanzhi replied.
"Then can we order the entire Yanyun?" Liu Minghai exclaimed.
"This is the case in theory, but in reality, you can see that Yan Yun has been basically occupied by the Xianbei. The governor of Youzhou is in control of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan Yun in name only. If you want to order Yan Yun, we have to fight back." Xu Yuanzhi said with a wry smile.
Everyone was half depressed when they heard Xu Yuanzhi say this!
"Brother Xu is right. The court only gives official titles. If we really want to recover the Yanyun area, we have to rely on our own blood to work hard. But don't be discouraged. With the imperial edict from the court, we will be much more convenient in the future. At least in the righteousness, we will dominate." Tang Feng comforted.
"Yes, that's right. With the imperial edict of the court, it can quickly enhance Brother Tang's prestige, which is unquestionable. This is a good sign for us to attract talents from all walks of life. With the addition of heroes from all walks of life, we can further strengthen ourselves and survive in this troubled times. Secondly, Brother Tang was appointed as the governor of Youzhou to control the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. In terms of status, he can occupy the orthodox court justice. He can use this to command the powerful aristocratic tribes in Yanzhou area and the remaining officials of all sizes and universities to be famous, so that we can take over various prefectures and counties. If we don't follow, we can lead our troops to attack them with justification." Xu Yuanzhi further analyzed.
Everyone listened to what Xu Yuanzhi said, and when they thought about it carefully, they seemed to feel that this was quite useful, and they all gritted their teeth.
"So, is this nominal position as a governor quite useful?" Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"Of course, you all should have heard of Cao Cao's "using the emperor to command the princes". That's it, but we don't have the emperor, we have the position of governor of Youzhou." Xu Yuanzhi replied.
"Hey, why don't you care about so many damn it? Anyway, we are serious court officials now. It's good to go out and tremble, hehe..." Liu Minghai's eyes narrowed into a line with a smile.
"You fat man, you are so beautiful. Do you want to show off in front of a girl from the Red Mansion?" Zhou Yan looked at Fat Man Liu with contempt.
Liu Minghai hurriedly covered Zhou Yan's mouth, and everyone laughed happily.
"The court did not expect us to regain the Yanyun area from the Xianbei, so he gave us the power to control the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. If this was in the peace era, it would be a thorn in the eyes of the court. It seems that this time we were blind cats and we got a big advantage. Brother Xu, you have really made great contributions this time!" Brother Tang said.
"This is what I didn't expect. I thought the court would only give the county magistrate at most. I never expected that he would directly be appointed as a governor and control the sixteen states of Yanyun. If we were really turned over by our salted fish, I'm afraid the court would regret it." Xu Yuan answered directly with Tang Feng's words.
"This is not something we are worried about. Since we have given it to us, we must make full use of it and let a salted fish turn over to show the old men in the court. Next, we have to consider more about our salted fish turn over!" Tang Feng said with a smile.
"Yes, that's right, brother is right. No matter what kind of bird he is, we only care about how to drive the Xianbei people out!" Zhou Yan shouted.
"You guys, you've said something human this time. It seems that Brother Liu, I didn't love you in vain!" Liu Minghai said with a smile on his arms around Zhou Yan's shoulder.
"Get out!" Zhou Yan said this and kicked Fatty Liu directly.
Huang Jizu next to him hurriedly avoiding Fatty Liu who was about to fall and looked at him with a thief smile.
"You don't know how to help me, it's so bad!" Liu Minghai, who was sitting on the ground, said to Huang Jizu.
Huang Jizu ignored him and just laughed happily.
"Don't be too happy too early, there is still a bad news that I didn't tell you." Xu Yuanzhi suddenly said.
Everyone suddenly became quiet and waited for Xu Yuanzhi to speak.
"Our court is going to move south, and I don't know where to move, it's probably in the Jiangdong area!" Xu Yuanzhi said with a little worry.
"Now the thousands of people in the Central Plains are going to suffer, but I didn't expect to escape in the end!" Tang Feng sighed.
