Some Qianghu people who had been recruited to work in the fields and raise livestock, who had always believed in ghosts and gods, when they saw Qiao Zhou, they bowed their heads and worshiped Qiaozhou with words in their mouths, worshiping him like a god.

This is the reason why Qiao Zhou did not dare to stay in Longyou.

He is a human minister.

Some people dare not accept it calmly.

Therefore, after being worshiped several times, he began to pray to return to Shu.

In the land of Bashu, he can still be a normal person; if he continues to stay here, he may not even be able to be a human being.

At first, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang did not approve of him.

After all, with the Prime Minister's wisdom and broad-mindedness, he would not worry about what would happen to Qiao Zhou in the future.

But when Zhao Yun's condition became increasingly serious in the spring, the prime minister thought about it and agreed.

Some things seem to have nothing to do with each other.

But some people with ulterior motives can always find reasons to tie them together.

For example, Qiao Zhou was a Confucian scholar from Yizhou, and the dispute over the governor of Xiping revealed the entanglement of interests.

Moreover, this was not the first time that Qiao Zhou was "visited" by an assassin.

Cao Rui, who was against the Wei Dynasty, hated him to the core. Naturally, there was no shortage of people who wanted to flatter him. He spontaneously spent money to recruit assassins to take Qiao Zhou's head back to show his favor.

Zheng Pu, who has a good friendship, is aware of all these things.

Because when the two of them met in small groups on weekdays, Qiao Zhou often murmured that Zheng Pu was the instigator, and he himself suffered the consequences on Zheng Pu’s behalf.

"Then congratulations to Brother Yun Nan for getting what he wanted."

Zheng Pu put down the Hu cake in his hand, took the wine bag and drank, "I wonder what position I will be assigned to my brother?"

"It's still about culture and education."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhou closed his eyes and stroked his beard and smiled, his face filled with joy, "My job is to engage in classical studies in the Prefectural Mufu. However, the Prime Minister's letter said that he was allowed to enter the palace once every ten days to interpret ancient and modern allusions for the emperor. "

He is the first scholar in Yizhou to engage in classical studies.

This can be regarded as renewing the reputation of his father and ancestor as a great scholar, and it is equivalent to the honor given to him by the prime minister. No wonder his family is so poor that he is willing to buy Hu cakes!

However, Zheng Pu cared more about the honor of being "banned from entering the palace once every ten days".

The ban on entering the palace helped the emperor Liu Chan solve his doubts, and to a certain extent, he acted as the emperor's teacher.

Therefore, Zheng Pu, who had just listened, couldn't help but feel moved in his heart.

Putting down the wine bag, he stared at Qiao Zhou for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Yun Nan, coming here this time is more than just saying goodbye to me, isn't it?"

"Ha~~~"

Qiao Zhou, who was in a good mood, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did Zijin say such a thing?"

Zheng Pu's answer was to give him a blank look.

Just pick up the wine bag and drink it yourself, occasionally sipping it, the old god is there.

"Boring!"

Lian Rong muttered, Qiao Zhou reached out to grab the wine bag, wiped the mouth of the wine bag with his sleeve, and said while drinking, "Although I don't pay attention to the affairs of the government, I also heard that the governor of Xiping is still pending. Yi Zijin I will definitely not be involved in this, but with Zijin’s status and current official position, I will inevitably be involved. Therefore, before I returned to Shu, I thought of asking if Zijin could be of use to me. ?”

really.

Father, like son.

Even Qiao Zhou, who was in charge of Wenjiao, had seen the whole story, while those who were extremely selfish were still busy trying to figure it out.

Zheng Pu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He turned away and headed towards the stream, his eyes falling on the weeds in the crevices of the rocks.

Human desire for power and profit, just like weeds, can explode with infinite power and grow endlessly over time.

Even if the person in charge of the country now is the prime minister who is obeyed by both the government and the public, he can only suppress it temporarily but cannot eradicate it.

If it gets hotter in the future, I'm afraid.

Now Qiao Zhou asked Zheng Pu if there was any need for him, because he saw that Zheng Pu would definitely be ostracized by others in the future because he did not contribute to the Yizhou system.

Throughout the ages, lone wolves who are not tolerated by the township party in their official career often end up having difficulty achieving anything.

Even being slandered and slandered.

After all, the prime minister was already over fifty years old, and he was appointed as a general with the title of general before he was even thirty years old.

Even though he married a daughter of the Zhang family and became brother-in-law with the emperor, there was still no shortage of people who could find ways to slander him, such as being accused of being the master of great achievements in the future, or being arrogant and unruly, etc.

Three people make a tiger, and a crowd of words makes a fortune.

He has been criticized a lot, but the emperor doesn’t doubt it, and he doesn’t doubt himself?

Even if he doesn't doubt himself, how can the generals who follow him from birth to death doubt themselves without feeling sad and angry?

Some things are better prepared in advance.

Otherwise, once it happens, there will be no time to prepare.

As for why Qiao Zhou wanted to help him, it was because the two had a really good relationship.

"There is no need to trouble Brother Yunnan now."

After being silent for a long time, Zheng Pu nodded and thanked, and said slowly, "However, after my brother returns, when he teaches his students, it would be better to recruit more people with both moral character and intelligence as disciples. If there is no one available for me in the future, I will find someone to help me." Brother, I want some disciples to serve as assistants."

"This is a great kindness!"

After hearing this, Qiao Zhou briefly thought about it, then raised his palms and praised him.

Since it is difficult for the current generation to be like-minded, we should simply focus on the next generation and cultivate like-minded people.

Just like now the prime minister has not decided on the candidate for the prefect of Xiping.

Taking this opportunity to see some people clearly will allow the belief and fighting spirit of "recovering the Central Plains and returning the old capital" to continue until the day of success.

In fact, what Qiao Zhou didn't know was that Zheng Pu had another layer of thought behind his words.

He wants to have some confidants of his own.

It's not to seek the power to "make decisive decisions" like the Prime Minister in the future, but to be able to concentrate more on myself.

He only wanted to lead the army in conquest, but he did not stop at leading the army.

In the future, if he encounters such disputes over rights, someone will be able to handle it on his behalf.

Although he now has a lot of help available for his career.

Such as the wife's family, the Xiang family who are about to become in-laws, the disciple Fu Qian, as well as Zhao Guang, Huo Yi and so on.

But some things cannot be solved by relying on external forces.
