Taiyuan City

Taiyuan Prefecture (Taiyuan Prefecture Office)

"The imperial court sent all the waste. After persisting for less than three days, they were defeated. Now they have surrounded my Taiyuan City!

These generals are really useless!

Zhang Kui, let you rush forward and send the memorial for help from Taiyuan Prefecture that was surrounded by help from the secret guards?

Why haven’t the imperial court sent anyone here yet?”

Although Lord Li looked very calm, he should know that he was already panicked in his heart just by listening to his tone.

If it weren't for his responsibility, he wouldn't have really reached the point where he was at the end of his life. He probably would have left the people and fled.

"Sir, don't be too anxious, right? The memorial has only been issued for three days, and even if you rush it, it will probably be the court.

The court might have to delay for another two or three days. When the army comes, it will be nearly half a month later!

Let’s quickly organize the people in Taiyuan to actively respond to the rebels outside, otherwise we might not have been able to wait for the rescue army to come.

Last time, you have seen their so-called Ming Wang army’s powerful artillery!”

Although Zhang Kui is just an aide and does not assume any official position, for many officials, the aides are far more trustworthy than their subordinates.

Therefore, when discussing things, especially when discussing relatively private matters, they mostly seek out aides to discuss, rather than looking for their own subordinates.

However, Zhang Kui just plucked up the courage to persuade him.

It’s impossible not to persuade him. Whether Taiyuan City can be saved is not only related to his life, but also to his family’s life, but also to his career.

If Taiyuan City is destroyed, even if the prefect can escape and survive, it will definitely be held accountable. The least is to be dismissed from an official position and never hired, and may even be exiled to places like Lingnan.

What good end can he end up as a staff member who has no official position and his lord fall down?

"What you said is easy, what can you do with the guards in the city be of use?

Those people have not trained for many years and have eaten a lot of empty salary, are they not sure about it?

No, you can't sit still and wait for death!

Zhang Kui, please send someone to invite General Liang to rescue Taiyuan. It seems that it depends on him for this matter!"

Prefect Li hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to give the headache to General Liang.

In any case, his main responsibility is to maintain political stability in Taiyuan, which means that he is in charge of the government.

As one of the generals of the nine borders and nine towns, General Liang is responsible for resisting foreign enemies.

It’s a pity that General Liang is not in Taiyuan City at all now, otherwise things would have been easier to handle.

Now they have to find someone to leave Taiyuan City and contact General Liang. Then they have to see if General Liang is willing to send troops to rescue Taiyuan City.

Anyway, it's very troublesome.

Let me put it this way, if General Liang is in Taiyuan City now, then if there is an invasion of foreign enemies, it is unshirkable for him to help resist.

But if General Liang is not in Taiyuan City, then if he comes to rescue, he will need the above-mentioned orders. Even if he is the general, he will need the admiral's orders.

This creates an uncertainty.

Even Prefect Li, he was not sure whether General Liang would come to rescue Taiyuan immediately at the risk of being impeached, or wait until the order was issued before coming over.

Although the generals given by the court to act cheaply, it is inevitable that there will be some overly cautious generals who are unwilling to act cheaply and will not move without receiving the order.

After all, if you do more and make mistakes, and if you don’t do well, many officials will still implement the common sense of officialdom.

"yes!"

After Zhang Kui responded, he just stepped to the door and before he could open the door and went out, he was staggering and fell to the ground by Butler Liu who suddenly pushed the door in.

"What's the rush?

Why don’t you help Mr. Zhang up quickly!”

Prefect Li gave Butler Liu a blank look.

In this case, he is still willing to give his staff a face.

But Mr. Liu did not immediately obey the order and helped Zhang Kui up, but said quickly:

"Sir, the King of Jin is here!

He was clamoring to see you!"

After Butler Liu finished speaking, he quickly turned around, helped Zhang Kui up, and apologized repeatedly.

"Why did King Jin come too?

Really, he is here to make trouble again!"

Prefect Li really felt a headache.

Although these vassal kings have no military power or political power, they cannot stand their own belonging to the royal family.

When I met him, let alone a mere prefect, even if the prime minister saw him, his superficial feelings would have to be maintained.

Otherwise, it would be to despise the royal family and even blaspheme the emperor's power.

"Zhang Kui, go quickly!

Butler Liu, you are ready to go with me to welcome the big car!”

Just as the prefect Li finished his order, the cheerful voice of King Zhu Qiugui of Jin came from outside:

"Hahaha!

Prefect Li doesn’t have to be so polite, so why don’t you come here to greet him in person? Isn’t this the king here?"

While speaking, a young man in casual clothes stepped in, followed by a large group of accompanying staff.

At first glance, you can hardly see the bottom.

There is also a difference between a vassal king and a vassal king.

Some vassal kings were poor and some were rich.

Those who are poor and destitute are usually born with a desperate life. They have seventeen or eighteen daughters in the family with twenty or thirty sons.

No amount of property can stand the points.

Some even make a living by selling their daughters. After all, they are the royal daughters and are worth selling them.

The King of Jin has been in the past several generations, and his nephew and brothers have taken turns to take turns. It can be seen that his offspring is indeed not rich, so his family property is still good.

Although he is not as good as the Fu King, he can barely be considered the top rank among all the vassal kings.

Therefore, it is normal to have such a pomp.

"The King of Jin is here, and the officials are really in trouble. Hurry up, please sit down!"

No matter how much my mother was criticizing her, the Duke Li still had to smile on his face and greet him with a smile.

Everyone knows this kind of thing. As long as you do your best, no one will make things difficult for anyone!

Zhu Qiugui didn't care about Prefect Li's smirk. It was not the first time he met him, so what did he care about?

Waving his sleeves, he walked into the house without hesitation and sat down on the main seat.

The Prefect Li had no choice but to sit in the second seat next to the main seat and asked, "I don't know what the King of Jin has to give me this time.

If the officials can do it, they will definitely not shirk responsibility."

“What am I here for?

Haven't you thought about it yet?

The rebels outside have been besieging the city for two or three days, and the people in the city have also started to panic. Do you think I am not in a hurry?"

Zhu Qiugui glared at Prince Li angrily, and said in anger with a slight sarcasm.
