When Xiao Ding appeared in front of the White Horse Post House, the previous postman could no longer be seen outside the door. Instead, there was a man wearing a moon-white robe, a Chinese character face, a big forehead, and a neat little beard.

A scholar in his thirties.

However, seeing that Lu Banzhi could only stand behind this person, we knew that this person's identity was very unusual.

Xiao Ding, who was far away, had already dismounted from his horse, but the scholar also strode forward to greet him.

As he walked, he laughed and said: "Changqing, Changqing, I haven't seen you for many years, do you still recognize me?"

Xiao Ding also smiled and came up to him: "Zi Yu, are you making fun of me? Back in Bianliang, a group of us were all your Zi Yu's followers? You took us with you...

"

Speaking of this, Xiao Ding glanced left and right and stopped talking.

The scholar whom Xiao Ding called Zi Yu was Cui Jin, the second son of Cui Ang, the newly appointed Hebei pacifier, named Zi Yu.

Cui Ang himself became a Jinshi, was awarded the Imperial Academy, and enjoyed official career. In his early 50s, he became the father-in-law of two houses and got a cool umbrella. However, he seemed to have taken away the literary fortune of two generations of his family. His two sons, Cui Bo,

Cui Jin had been taking the exam for many years, but failed year after year. In the end, not only did Cui Bo and Cui Jin lose their confidence, but even Cui Ang had no energy left to force his two sons to study.

After all, his status was clear. Both of his sons also had Yin officials, so they found a position for the eldest son Cui Bo and sent him to work as an official in a prefecture or county. In the past few years, he had also become a governor in a prefecture.

Li joined the army.

Is there anyone in the court who can be an official?

However, because he has never been selected as a Jinshi, Cui Bo's future is visible to the naked eye. There is no special opportunity. At the end of his life, he will just be a magistrate of Xiazhou or Junzhou, and a military commander.

In the future, when Cui Ang retires and returns to his hometown, the court may grant him a favor and transfer him to a certain yamen in Bianliang as a second deputy.

The youngest son Cui Jin has always been with Cui Ang.

Firstly, he can take care of his parents in the capital, and secondly, he can handle some family affairs for Cui Ang.

This time, Cui Ang won the position of comfort envoy in Hebei, and his heart became lively. If he can achieve special honors in Hebei, his younger son may also have a good career.

Since the literary career is unavailable, it would be a good idea to switch to a military career.

Since he, Cui Ang, is the pacifier of Hebei, it is not an easy task to get some military glory for his son. He does not need his permission, and there will be many people closely following him.

Unlike the Xiao family, which has the reputation of being a family of generals, even if the Cui family has a general, it will never hinder the reputation of the Cui family as a thousand-year-old family.

Seeing Xiao Ding clasping his fists to salute him, Cui Jin quickly supported Xiao Ding and said with a smile: "Chang Qing, you are now the deputy commander, an official from the fifth rank, but I am only from the seventh rank.

Do you want to offend me? Or do you want me to salute you?"

Xiao Ding smiled but gave up.

The Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs. Although the rank of military officers was high, as long as they were not up to that level, they always felt shorter when meeting civil servants. Like the censor who went to Tianmenzhai to verify the merits of the first-level officials last time, he was only a seven-year-old.

The rank officer was much lower than Xiao Ding, but he still showed off his power in front of Xiao Ding, and Xiao Ding's greetings were always harsh and painful.

Naturally, Xiao Ding would not take such people seriously.

A person who is not even willing to do anything to save face and is so arrogant will not have any great achievements in the future. Isn't it just a salute to you? It is also a piece of meat, as long as you are not checking the head.

It's better to find faults and underhanded tricks at the top, and report them exactly as they are, so that the brothers down below don't suffer.

Things in the future will be discussed in the future.

"Unexpectedly, I met Zi Yu here. I heard that the pacifier is here?" Xiao Dingxiao asked: "This time, Ziyu, you went to Hebei to take up the post with the pacifier. I wonder what kind of important position you took on?"

Cui Jin smiled and said: "I am not as good as you, Chang Qing. I am incompetent in writing and martial arts. But this time I am just following you in front of the Lord, just being a good person and writing."

Is it just a matter of words?

Xiao Ding couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Guan Gou Ji Yi Wen is just a errand, and indeed he has no rank. But the problem is, it also depends on where the assignment is done. Guan Gou Ji Yi Wen in front of the comfort envoy on Hebei Road is something special.

Hebei Road was the most important town in the Song Dynasty. It was responsible for resisting the attack of the Northern Liao Dynasty. It governed seven Jiedushi prefectures, ten defensive envoy prefectures, four governor prefectures, three Tuanlian prefectures and twelve

military.

For such a piece of writing, even the feudal officials who were in charge of one side would have to respect it and support it.

Cui Ang was really shameless and let his son take on such an important position.

Cui Jin is not the kind of person who is famous all over the world, nor is he the kind of person who is brave and resourceful.

It can only be said that Cui Ang even lost his face in order to support his son.

"Then I really have to congratulate Zi Yu. Next, I will show off my skills on Hebei Road and rise to the top, just wait and see!" Xiao Ding said sincerely.

This is not a lie. He occupies such an important position. As long as Hebei Road has any merits, it is natural for him to get involved and take a share of the credit. Wouldn't it be a great success?

"I can't compare with you, Chang Qing!" Cui Jin shook his head repeatedly: "You are famous all over the world now. Even the officials were full of praise for you after watching the battle in Tianmen Village. I heard that

This time when you return to Beijing, the officials will personally summon you!"

Xiao Ding was surprised: "Don't generals at my level only need to report their duties to the Privy Council?"

"Then it depends on who you are!" Cui Jin said with a smile: "Don't forget, Xiao Longtu is now the Third Secretary-General. How can the officials not be curious about his son having achieved such great achievements? Of course it is

Just meet you."

Xiao Ding couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If this is really the case, it will be another trouble.

He is a troublesome person.

Cui Jin didn't mind the trouble. She held Xiao Ding's hand and looked up and down for a long time before saying: "Chang Qing, speaking of which, you are several years younger than me, but looking at it now, it seems that you are younger than me."

Come here, you are several years older than me."

Xiao Ding is only twenty-two this year, but he has grown a full beard and has experienced many hardships in the north. He looks like he is in his thirties. Cui Jin is really almost thirty, but he has been living in Bianliang.

Pampered and pampered, Xiao Ding looks much older when compared to the other two.

"The water and soil in Bianliang support people, unlike the place where I stayed. There are only stones and sand, and it is rare to even see trees!" Xiao Ding said with a smile.

"Why is this?" Cui Jin asked curiously.

"Tianmen Village is at the forefront. It is the first important checkpoint to prevent the Northern Liao invasion. Within ten miles of the surrounding area, we have chopped down all the decent-looking trees." Xiao Ding.

Explained: "Otherwise, once the Liao army comes, these trees will become weapons for the opponent to attack us in a blink of an eye."

"That's it!" Cui Jin clasped his hands and said.

Xiao Ding looked at the other party and was speechless for a while.

This is the official text of the Hebei Road appeasement envoy!

This is the son of Cui Xianggong, who is also the Privy Councilor and is famous for his knowledge of military matters in the court!

Why do you seem so ignorant of common sense that even a soldier like this knows?

Are you pretending?

While thoughts were swirling in his mind, Cui Jin led him inside and walked away: "My father is talking to Zheng Zhizhou, and I'm afraid it won't be over for a while. I'm also afraid of neglecting Chang Qing, but I know that you and I have been together since we were young.

We are familiar with each other, so I was sent to accompany you. I don’t think Changqing will blame me. Come on, let’s go to the house to drink tea first.”

"Where did Zi Yu come from? The Privy Council is a superior official, so I'm waiting for you. That's what it should be." Xiao Ding waved his hands repeatedly.

The reason why Cui Ang is not called the pacifier is naturally because Cui Ang is still in Baima and has not yet gone to Daming Mansion to hand over to Jing Wang Zhao Zhe. From a procedural point of view, it has not been completed yet.

If we really want to talk about it, Xiao Ding is not Cui Ang’s direct subordinate now!

Hearing what Xiao Ding said, the light in Cui Jin's eyes flickered slightly, but she covered it up and said: "I have asked people to pack up a small courtyard and come out. You and your dozen or so subordinates didn't salute much.

You can live in it as long as you can.”

"Since the Privy Council is here, how dare I disturb you? After I meet with the Privy Council, I will go to the city and find an inn to stay. It will only last one night and I will set off tomorrow morning." Xiao Ding declined repeatedly.

"This is not possible!" Cui Jin stopped, looked at Xiao Ding, and said seriously: "My father said that he accidentally met Brother Changqing here, it was fate, and my father was appointed as the comfort envoy of Hebei Road, but now he

The situation in the entire northern Xinjiang is not very clear. You also know, Changqing, that the reports coming below always report good news but not bad news. It is difficult to see the real situation. Now that Brother Changqing is in person, my father will naturally have to talk to you in detail.

Talk, so that you can get what you want!"

Xiao Ding couldn't help but cry secretly in his heart.

Cui Jin's words swept the two kings, King Jing and Zhao Zhe, into the mix. The conversation with Cui Ang later might not be easy to deal with.

But having said that, what can he do?

Do you really want to resign? Wouldn't it mean that you offended the pacifier to death before he took office? Wouldn't this be a big trouble for yourself?

I will have to work under others in the future!

At the moment, he could only smile bitterly and nod in agreement, expressing his gratitude to Cui Jin without saying a word.

Behind him, Na Luban looked at He Zheng and others with a smile and said: "The Privy Council has ordered that you and the others are heroes in the fight against the Liao Dynasty. You must not neglect them. We have already packed up a small courtyard to stay with you. It is said that

There will be a banquet in the evening."

"Thank you, Lu Banzhi!" He Zheng had seen his controller talking and laughing with the privy young master earlier. He was obviously acquainted with each other. He was sighing in his heart that his controller really had great magical powers and wide contacts. After hearing this, he quickly thanked them.

"By the way, that blind postman has already had his legs broken and rushed back." Lu Ban walked straight on as if nothing had happened.

He Zheng was stunned for a moment.

Isn't it just a small conflict? Although I accidentally fell into the opponent's pit, it was okay after all. Although the guy was hateful, he broke his leg?
Chapter completed!
