It turned out that Cheng Yuan was gentle and honest. He was indeed an obedient and sensible child.
At first, Xu Ke was a little worried.
What was there to worry about?
Naturally, he was worried that Cheng Yuan would not cooperate.
Cheng Yuan had just become an official and was young and impetuous. If he felt that he had not been put in an important position by the lord and was suppressed by a person of mediocre background, he would feel uncomfortable and not cooperate in his actions … If that was the case, Xu Ke would have a headache.
Fortunately, the scene that Xu Ke was worried about did not happen.
Cheng Yuan was young and inexperienced, but he was methodical and meticulous. Most importantly, he was humble and eager to learn. He would not look down on Xu Ke because of his lowly background. No matter how boring and tedious the task was, Cheng Yuan could still concentrate. He was simply a little angel in Xu Ke's eyes.
Which boss and colleague would not like such a good employee who worked overtime obediently and did not complain?
Thus, Cheng Yuan easily gained the favor of Xu Ke and Qiguan Rang. The three of them worked very well together.
After all, Cheng Yuan was inexperienced. Even if he was careful enough, he still made small mistakes in many places.
Xu Ke and Qiguan Rang did not find it troublesome. They gave him pointers if they could and helped him make up for his mistakes if they could not, making Cheng Yuan feel like he was bathing in the spring breeze.
At first, Cheng Yuan thought that his official career would cause conflict and it would be difficult for him to integrate into the group.
Now that he saw it, the people under the lord were quite easy to get along with.
However …
"Today, Xiaoyu asked about Elder Brother's matters."
Cheng Cheng raised his eyelids. He had been busy organizing the books and classifying them in detail recently, so he did not pay much attention to his son.
Even so, he knew that his son had been going out early in the morning and returning home late at night. He was busy with government affairs.
"About Gong Luo? What about him? "
Cheng Cheng had two sons and a daughter. Other than his eldest son who was an official in another place, his younger son and daughter were still by his side.
When the family fled Sui 'an County, he took his wife, second son, and daughter with him. Only his eldest son, who had a family and a career, was left behind.
The eldest son, Cheng Xun, was called Gong Luo. His temperament was like heaven and earth compared to his second son.
"Xiaoyu asked me if I have an elder brother and even indirectly asked about him …" Cheng Yuan was a little baffled, suspecting that his elder brother and Xiaoyu were old friends. "… Elder brother has been an official for many years and rarely comes home. I don't know much either … Could it be that Xiaoyu is an old acquaintance of elder brother? Or should I say, where have I heard of your name? "
Cheng Cheng's expression changed when he heard that. He looked at his son with pity in his eyes.
He knew his eldest son very well. His son was very particular about his family background. His circle of friends would never coincide with Xu Ke's, let alone know him.
When Xu Ke asked if Cheng Yuan had an older brother, the greatest possibility was that he wanted to 'kidnap' him.
Cheng Cheng lowered his eyes.
Not only did he kidnap the old one, but he also wanted to kidnap the boss … Yes, yes, yes, very good.
"With Gong Luo's temperament, I'm afraid he's not suitable."
Cheng Yuan's eyes suddenly widened. After his father's guidance, he finally understood Xu Ke's true purpose.
"Big Brother won't come."
Cheng Cheng secretly pouted. As long as Jiang Pengji was not out of her mind, she would never accept Cheng Xun.
"Father, I heard that the Lord will lead the army to rescue the Emperor tomorrow."
"You want to go with me?" Cheng Cheng asked calmly.
"I want to meet him, but based on the current situation, it's probably impossible." Cheng Yuan did want to go, but he also knew that he would not be of any use if he went. Rescuing the Emperor was not a small matter. There would be a chaotic battle at any time. He lacked experience and was still too inexperienced.
Cheng Cheng said, "The situation in the world is already chaotic. Rescuing the Emperor will be an important turning point. You don't have to join in the fun. You won't be able to help and will only add to the chaos. "
Cheng Yuan looked depressed. He had been dealt a blow by his old father.
Cheng Cheng said in a low voice, "However, if you want to stand out, this is also a good opportunity."
"Father, please give me some pointers."
"Wanzhou has just been taken, and the foundation is unstable. The Lord wants to transfer a portion of the elites to rescue the Emperor, which means that the troops left to guard the rear will be seriously insufficient. If we want to alleviate the crisis, we can only recruit troops and train the elites at the same time. This shows how much pressure there is. But as long as we can survive the initial period, the Lord's power in the north will be completely stabilized. Do your job well and be pragmatic. When the time comes, no one can erase your share of the rewards … Remember, don't be as eager for quick success as your brother. Stability is the most important. "
Cheng Cheng analyzed his son clearly and did not forget to give him a warning.
He did not like officialdom, but both of his sons had their own ideas. He could only use his own experience to give them some advice.
It was a pity that his eldest son disliked him. There was a lot of friction between the father and son.
His youngest son was obedient and easy to coax. He had a gentle temperament and could listen to his advice.
On the other side, Jiang Pengji had also decided on the "lineup" for rescuing the Emperor.
"Jing Rong used to work under Prince Changshou's camp, so I know them better. You are indispensable this time." Jiang Pengji was the first to call out Yang Si. Yang Si showed an expression of despair. She laughed and said, "No matter how strong Prince Changshou is, can he rush into the camp and cut you into pieces? No matter what, your lord is holding the fort. I won't hand you over. "
Yang Si secretly wiped his sweat.
He had tricked Prince Changshou so badly. Not only did the Emperor want to cut him into pieces, he probably wanted to exterminate his family.
Knowing that he was going to face his old boss in front of the army, Yang Si felt a little guilty, but he was also a little excited.
"As for the other person, after careful consideration, I plan to choose Zi Shi. The rest of you, stay in Wanzhou. I hope that all of you will guard this area for me. "
Jiang Pengji did not choose Wei Ci and the others. Instead, she chose Feng Zhen. His strategy and plan were more suitable for the chaotic situation of the Emperor's rescue.
When Feng Zhen heard that his name had been called, his eyes lit up, and his spirits rose.
He finally didn't have to deal with those disgusting hypocrites and even more disgusting government officials.
He recalled the scene of him and Feng Jin dealing with the landowning households in Shangyang County a few days ago. It was a nightmare.
"My lord is wise."
Feng Zhen was grinning from ear to ear. He couldn't hide the smile at the corner of his mouth.
As for the military generals, Jiang Pengji chose Li Yun and Dian Yan. The others stayed behind to continue recruiting and training troops.
"Do you have any objections to this arrangement?"
She looked around and asked everyone.
Meng Hun's expression changed slightly. After a while, he stepped forward and volunteered.
Jiang Pengji frowned and asked, "Why?"
Meng Hun said, "The Emperor's order to rescue the King is most likely related to the Meng family's defection to Prince Changshou. I used to be the County Commander of Meng County in Cang Prefecture. I worked for the Meng family, so I know them well. Therefore, I sincerely hope that my lord will allow me to go to war … "
At this point, he was embarrassed and silent. His expression showed that he was in a dilemma.
Meng Hun and the Meng family had an irreconcilable hatred.
Jiang Pengji lowered her eyes and thought about it carefully.
She left Meng Hun behind only because he had rich experience in training troops and had a high prestige in the army. He could hold the fort … In comparison, Li Yun and Dian Yan were both rookies. Although they had a reputation, they lacked experience. They should be given more opportunities to make contributions and accumulate military merits.
Since Meng Hun volunteered, it was not impossible.
Luo Yue was a coach in the imperial army. He had accumulated enough experience in training troops over the years. If he promoted two people to assist him, even if Meng Hun followed him to the front lines, it would not affect the rear too much … After thinking about it this way, Jiang Pengji agreed to Meng Hun's request.
