Chapter 359: Yongzhou Governor

Ji Han was about to rise and the 359th chapter of Shuzhong. After the governor of Yongzhou waited for Yang Qing to return to his seat, Zhuge Liang said: "Mingzhi, you are not willing to express your thoughts just now. Are you avoiding suspicion?"

"Hehe, you can't hide anything from the Prime Minister." Yang Qing smiled helplessly.

Zhuge Liang said: "Mr. Wei recommended the local scholars of Longyou, and You Chang recommended Liao Yuanjian, a Jingzhou native. Your idea is that one of the three counties is exactly one of the locals, one of Jingzhou and one of Yizhou natives. So when it was your turn, Yizhou native, I was embarrassed to speak out the candidates in your heart, right?"

"Well...... Go back to the Prime Minister, say yes, say no, or not."

Zhuge Liang got up and went to the window to look at the courtyard outside, saying, "What do you say?"

"When I go back to the Prime Minister, Qing didn't know if Wei Gong and Youchang thought so. Qing didn't think so much for a while, but when it was my turn, he suddenly realized that the person in my heart happened to be from Yizhou.

This is just as the Prime Minister said that we and the three of us recommended officials from a state in one person. In this way, Qing's recommendation seems to be really favorable to the people of our state, so it is difficult to say it out loud." Yang Qing also stood up and came to Zhuge Liang to explain.

Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "There is indeed a distinction between parties in the court!"

"Prime Minister, this is an inevitable thing. You should not force all officials to be a solid piece of iron." Yang Qing comforted: "However, it is better to call it a distinction between parties than a distinction between a family.

Except for a few people, all the officials in the Han Dynasty were devoted to serving the public and wanted to restore the Han Dynasty. Can we see that they are all in one party? For example, although the Qing Dynasty was from Yizhou, what is the difference between me and the Jingzhou people like Youchang?"

"Mingzhi, Mingzhi, if all the officials of my Han Dynasty thought so, how great would it be?" Zhuge Liang sighed.

However, both of them knew that this was impossible. They looked at each other and shook their heads slightly, and laughed helplessly.

"Tell me, who is the candidate in your heart?"

Yang Qing pondered for a moment and replied: "There is now the prefect of Yuezhi, Zhang Yi. Qing thought he could transfer this person to Longyou for office."

"Oh? Zhang Yi? Your old subordinate?" Zhuge Liang looked at Yang Qing with a smile.

Yang Qing felt guilty when Zhuge Liang saw it and hesitated: "It's indeed Qing's old... old subordinates, or Yi... Yizhou people, if the Prime Minister feels it's inappropriate, then..."

"Tell me your reasons." Zhuge Liang smiled indifferently and interrupted Yang Qing.

Yang Qing said: "Zhang Yi was diligent in his work and loved the people, and was determined to be honest and mature when he saw things. He was also very general and had a good general. He was most suitable for serving in a place with tough folk customs such as Longyou. The Qing Dynasty thought that although Longyou was determined, the pseudo-Wei would come again to fight, so the county magistrates in Longyou must be good at leading troops to fight.

Zhang Yi's military strategy and strategy have also seen the Prime Minister in Nanzhong. In recent years, his political achievements in Yuezhi have been superior every year, so the Qing Dynasty believed that this monarch was more than enough to be a county magistrate in Longyou."

"Is it more than enough to be a county magistrate? Your kid is so angry now? Don't forget, you are just a county magistrate at the moment." Zhuge Liang glared at Yang Qing angrily.

Yang Qing smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't think that I have made great achievements in the Northern Expedition this time. After I go back, the emperor should give me one or two levels."

"Hmph, you guy is thinking pretty well." Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows and said slowly.

Yang Qing grinned and said, "Hehe."

"Zhang Boqi is indeed a capable official, so it is appropriate to transfer him to Longyou, but..."

Yang Qing hurriedly said, "If it is because Qing and Zhang Yi are from Yizhou and the prime minister is not easy to make a decision, then it is considered Qing's statement."

"Hmph, do you think I am the kind of person who cares about my relatives and relatives? If you do not avoid relatives, I will save you from it." Zhuge Liang said solemnly: "What's more, for the arrangements for the prefects of the three counties of Tianshui, Guang, Wei and Nan'an, I originally planned to choose a local, one from Jingzhou and one from Yizhou. Zhang Yi, a Yizhou native, is exactly what I want."

"Ah? The Prime Minister thinks so too?" Yang Qing said in surprise.

Zhuge Liang said, "Hmph, you and the other two are really smart, but they guessed my thoughts thoroughly." He sighed and said, "This is the case of the court, and I have to balance the government."

Yang Qing was speechless, thinking that no matter how consistent a group's goals were, there would always be factions within it. Even with a talent like Zhuge Liang, it would not be possible to eliminate this matter. All he could do was to control this internal friction within a certain range.

He heard Zhuge Liang say, "The Zhang Yi you recommended is the right one. With this person helping you, you will be much more relaxed in Longyou in the future."

"Boqi is indeed a good helper. With him assisting me in Longyou in the future..." At this point, Yang Qing finally reacted: "Ah, Prime Minister, what did you just say? I'm in Longyou in the future?"

"yes."

"But what am I doing in Longyou? Will the army be back to Hanzhong in not long before?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "The army is going to return to Hanzhong, but you probably don't have to go back?"

"Why is this?" Yang Qing was a little confused.

"Don't you want to be promoted to one or two levels? I am going to report to the emperor to express your support to the governor of Yongzhou. After the army leaves, Longyou will be handed over to you."

Yang Qing was shocked and said, "This... I am the governor of Yongzhou? Prime Minister, what Qing said was just a joke. As long as the Han Dynasty could be restored, how could Qing talk about personal gains and losses?"

"Yeah." Zhuge Liang said with relief: "I already know your character. I have carefully considered the position of governor of Yongzhou and there is no need to refuse."

Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Yang Qing no longer hypocritically and humblely responds: "Yes, Prime Minister Don't worry, Qing will definitely live up to the Prime Minister's expectations and will be optimistic about Longyou for the court."

"Okay, I'll be relieved if you say this."

Zhuge Liang said again: "I agree to the candidate Zhang Yi first. This person was promoted by you. Having a convenient old subordinate under his command will be of great help to you gain a foothold in Longyou." After a pause, he continued: "Do you think it is appropriate to choose Liao Hua as a county magistrate?"

Yang Qing naturally felt that it was appropriate. Liao Hua was not only talented, but also his friend. If such a person was under his command, it would be much easier for him to implement any policy in Longyou in the future.

So he bowed and replied: "Liao joined the army, civil and military talents, and Qing also worked with him in the Prime Minister's Office. They are quite familiar with each other, and if he helps Qing, they cannot find it."

"That's good." Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Then these two people are decided like this. As for the candidates for the local county magistrate, I have to consider it carefully."

"yes."

Yang Qing is now very satisfied with this team. One is his confidant subordinate, the other is his friend and the other is his acquaintance, and the other is the prefect of Longxi You Chu. Not long ago, his rear army received five hundred horses sent by You Chu, and the relationship between the two is becoming increasingly close.

Three county magistrates of Longyou are all close to Yang Qing. It can be said that his control over Longyou has reached a very strong point. As long as he takes office and then manages his life well, his prestige among the people of Longyou will be completely established, and it will be much easier to implement politics.

"Prime Minister, then I really won't go back to Hanzhong with the army?"

Thinking that Hanzhong, which had been working hard for two years, would be handed over to someone else, Yang Qing was really reluctant for a moment. In addition, Xiahou Yue was still in Hanzhong, and he wanted to go home, so he asked this question.

Zhuge Liang said: "How is it possible? You must clearly hand over everything in Hanzhong with the one who takes over, not to mention that if you want to make achievements in Longyou, you must go back to meet the throne and be granted the title."
