Chapter 120 Recommendations

Perhaps it was the intelligence that Li Lijun showed before that left a deep impression on Princess Dou, or perhaps the latter had just returned from his brother's house and was so angry that he was so shameless that Princess Dou obviously did not intend to mention to her granddaughter.

, in front of his step-granddaughter, he spoke frankly.

Things are not complicated. Uncle Dou is in poor health and has been recuperating at home for many years. Recently, he has been a little better and is determined to get back on his feet. Before he fell ill, he has already achieved the fifth grade, so there is no reason to be less than the fifth grade

However, it is not easy to find an official position in the capital. His family has been in decline for a long time. If you want to find a better official position of fifth rank or above, you have to rely on the family's help.

Duke Bi and the other two Dukes of the saints are now the most prosperous and able to speak the people of the Dou family. Uncle Dou naturally came to them for help first. The other party expressed his kindness.

No problem, but there was no news for a long time after that, and there was no accurate letter until two days ago.

The position of Yunnan governor, the fourth rank of official position is three levels higher than when Uncle Dou was sick. Although he was a local official, he was not the capital official he wanted, he was aiming for a huge improvement in his official rank.

The Duke of Weiguo kept saying that Uncle Dou was in great luck and happened to encounter such a good position.

Duke Bi also asked Uncle Dou to make a decision quickly, saying that many people were robbing this official position. If he didn't want it, it would be difficult for him to want this level to be lacking in the future!

Although Uncle Dou has been away from the court for many years, he still has some connections. It is easy to find out that there are people at the position of Yunnan Governor. And he has just been promoted this year. It is definitely not a state of flaw. Could those dukes be fooling him?

But if he refuses this, he is afraid that they will not help him find an official position, so who can he ask for help?

Uncle Dou knew clearly that his brother-in-law, King Sui, could not help this, and he was unwilling to make his sister embarrassed. Although he had a few friends, no one held power and could easily seek an official position for him.

, It would be great to be able to convey some news to him. After weighing the trade-offs, he found out that the position of Yunnan governor was indeed about to be missing. He guessed that the current governor probably had something wrong, so he accepted the "good intention" of the three dukes.

.

He asked his wife to prepare his luggage for him, and then Duke Bi's mansion sent someone to ask him for the farm where Fufeng was. The implication was that he naturally wanted to take that property as a reward for seeking official positions for him.

What is "returning the jade to Zhao" and what is "missing the place I lived in when I was a child" is just nice to say. Uncle Dou knew clearly that it was the price he had to pay. He had prepared a generous gift, but he didn't expect others to see it.

Without giving generous gifts, he directly targeted the highest-produced farm in his family. As for the Saga Mountain Forest Farm, it was just a worthless guise to conceal the greed and indifference of Duke Bi's mansion towards his tribe.

After Princess Dou knew the truth, she knew that she could not stop her. She couldn't plan a good idea for her brother. Could she still stop him from becoming an official again? But she kept breathing in her chest, and didn't know how to vent.

Therefore, I felt so uncomfortable.

When Li Lijun heard that Uncle Dou’s upcoming position was “Guan of Yunnan”, she felt something was wrong.

The governor of Yunnan is the prefect of Yunnan. There is currently a master in this position. If it were because of the suggestion she gave to Lin Jiulang a few days ago, the latter sent a message to Duke Lin and asked Duke Lin to find a way to pull the current prefect of Yunnan off the horse.

If there is a vacancy, it is not the turn of Uncle Dou to take over, right? Isn’t this a transitional official position that Duke Lin has targeted to get rid of the embarrassing situation? Even if Lin Guozheng intends to marry Princess Dou, once he knows the future in-laws.

My brother stole the official position he liked, but I am afraid that the relationship between the two parties will change, right?

Is this a simple coincidence, or is it a matter of deliberately ruining Duke Lin’s affairs, which led Princess Dou’s brothers to grab his official position, and then destroy the marriage between Princess Dou’s son and Duke Lin’s daughter?

Li Lijun quietly looked at Princess Dou's expression. She was not convenient for her to tell the truth to the other party, as it would reveal that she knew too much about the Lin family's movements. However, she had no other way to stop Uncle Dou from committing suicide.

She whispered to Princess Dou: "Grandma, Yunnan... is in the southwest border, right? I heard that there are malaria and people from other places are prone to being unacceptable to the local environment in the past. The uncle of Dou's family has been ill for many years, even though it has improved now.

, it may not be able to adapt to the local climate, right?"

Princess Dou was stunned for a moment, and her expression became serious. Although she knew that Yunnan was far away from Chang'an City, she really hadn't studied it carefully. What kind of place it was, she only thought it was just poor and remote.

She immediately called her maid Shen Jiang over and ordered her to go to the study of the King of Sui to find books about the borders of the Tang Dynasty or the southwest. If she couldn't find it, she would send someone to the front to ask the chief clerk. Others didn't know it, he

Always know.

Shen Jiang took the order. Although Princess Dou had not seen the book yet, she had already believed what Li Lijun said and was very unhappy to let her brother take the position of Yunnan Governor again.

Li Lijun advised again: "Even if the local climate is quite acceptable, Yunnan is too far away. Even if a strong person has to go to the border to become an official, he will suffer a lot on the way.

What's more, uncle Dou's uncle? I think... I'd better not go. There are also suitable official positions around the capital. If the uncle Dou's uncle is willing to accept the position of governor of Xiazhou, the frontier, and the

Why worry about not finding other better positions? Is it really impossible to find an empty official position in the capital?”

Princess Dou sighed and spoke to her a little closer: "In fact, if you really want to find it, you may not be able to find a more suitable one, but those Dukes' Mansions only mentioned the position of Yunnan Governor to him.

If they refuse, I am afraid that those families will take the opportunity to stand up. If they don’t say anything, the rest of the tribe will naturally look at their expressions. There was an elder in the tribe who had always been upright and was valued by the saints, so they would be more important than that

Several Dukes' Mansions are more suitable for seeking help, but they were implicated in the Wei Jian case a few years ago and are now serving as the prefect of the East China Sea, so they are too far away."

Li Lijun thought for a while: "Is it Mr. Pei Kuanpei?" This man seemed to have a good end, but he died before the Anshi Rebellion.

Princess Dou nodded and couldn't help but sigh again. If Pei Kuan was still there, she would not be able to contact him, but her brothers could come to the door. Who told me that they were not in Chang'an City? If this elder was still in charge of the clan,

How dare Duke Bi's mansion be so aggressive?!

Li Lijun looked at the expression on Princess Dou's face and asked tentatively: "Although the East China Sea is far away, if you send a confidant to send a letter, ask if the old lady is short of people...

It is impossible to find an official in the East China Sea? At least with elders, it is better than going to a strange border."

Princess Dou shook her head and said, "Master Pei Kuan may not agree. It's just that the officials who can be appointed by the prefect... are too low-ranking. If my brother hadn't hoped to find an official position of fifth rank or above, why would he be so embarrassed?"

Li Lijun wondered: "Why is this?"

Because only the children of officials above the fifth rank can enter the Imperial Academy. Uncle Dou’s most outstanding son is now studying in the Four Sects, but this year he has learned a doctor with a deep background in the Four Sects. He had a grudge against Uncle Dou when he was young.

He secretly made trouble and prevented his son from getting the school's recommendation and took the imperial examination. For his son's future, Uncle Dou could only work hard and be promoted to an official position so that he could send his son to a higher level institution.

Li Lijun was speechless when she heard this. Is it necessary to beat around the bush?

She made a suggestion: "If you just want to find an official position of fifth rank or above, you don't have to be the prefect of the place. There is another position that you can get with just reaching out."
