"Pay more attention to this aspect in the future and strive for Han officers to make up half of the officers." Although Song Qingshu could use various methods to train these people to obey his orders, if they were all female Enlightened Beings, it would be hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be a commotion when they find out about his identity. If the majority of the officers were Han, it would be easier for them to accept his identity.
However, he knew that this matter couldn't be rushed. After all, the Jin and Song Dynasties had been at war for many years, and the Han people didn't have a good impression of the Jin. Those who worked for the Jin would be scolded as traitors. Under such circumstances, the truly talented Han people naturally wouldn't become officials.
But it wasn't to say that there weren't any, especially for the commoners of the lower class. For the sake of survival, they could only join the Jin side. And it was among these commoners that there would often be some rare geniuses. After all, the tempering of life wasn't inferior to the nurturing of books.
"Alright, I'll pay attention to it in the future." Taitish wasn't a fool and quickly guessed his worries. She understood that it was indeed necessary to increase the number of Han people.
"Right, did anyone from the Pucha Clan get selected?" Song Qingshu suddenly asked curiously. As one of the three great clans of the Jin Empire, the Pucha Clan definitely had no lack of talents. As for the Tudan Clan, they were like fire and water due to Wan Yanliang. Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't use anyone from the Tudan Clan.
Thinking of the Tudan Clan, Song Qingshu couldn't help but think of the gentle and quiet Consort of Hailing, Tudan Jing. She was probably living a miserable life in the cold palace now...
Taitish rolled her eyes in annoyance. "The Pucha Clan was previously imprisoned for treason, how would I dare to use them?"
Song QingShu collected his thoughts. "The past is the past, and the present is the present. After this period of imprisonment, many in the Pucha family probably know what's most important. They'll cherish this hard-won opportunity even more."
Taitish looked at him with a smile that didn't seem like a smile. "In the end, isn't it because of that young lady from the Pucha Clan?"
Song Qingshu replied indifferently, "You women will only subconsciously think of jealousy. How would you understand a man's heart and ambitions? The Pucha Family is indeed a double-edged sword, but I'm confident that I can control them. "
"Pei, who would be jealous of you!" Taitish spat. "I hope you won't be devoured by it in the end."
Song Qingshu didn't mind at all. "After saying so much, do you have any suitable candidates?"
"Yes, the Pucha Clan's Pucha Zhen. Because he isn't of the clan leader's bloodline, he wasn't valued by the clan in the past few years. However, he is skilled in both the pen and the sword. A few years ago, he defeated the Song army at the border several times. This year, he was transferred back to the capital. In the end, he was implicated in the case of Pucha Ah-Hu's rebellion and was imprisoned." During this period of time, Taj-kis had been utilizing her position as the Minister to frequently study the resumes of certain officials. It could be said that she was very familiar with them.
Song Qingshu immediately summoned an imperial guard and ordered: "Take my warrant and go to the prison and bring Pu Chazhen here."
"Yes!" After the guard received the order, he turned his horse around and galloped away.
Following that, Song Qingshu summoned Monk Wanyan Chen and began to explain the various matters of the loyal army to him. Just like that, they rushed towards the western outskirts of the city.
Song QingShu only recognized Monk Wanyan Chen. However, he didn't know that the few generals that Taj-tish had found were also famous generals of the Jin Kingdom in history. They weren't the least bit inferior to Monk Chen. However, in terms of tragic endings, they weren't as famous as Monk Chen …
(The names of the three generals of Tang Kuo's family were fabricated. Pusan Feihan's original name was Pusan Kui, but Pusan Kui was the son of Pusan Zhongyi. It wasn't appropriate to add him to the loyal army in this book, so he was given a different name. The others were all famous generals of the Jin Kingdom.)
At this time, in the Grand Preceptor's residence, Wanyan Zhongjie was consoling Pucha Qiucao in her room. Pucha Qiucao only responded intermittently, clearly having a lot on her mind.
Suddenly, Pucha Alihu returned in high spirits. "Good news, good news!"
Unfortunately, Pucha Qiucao's expression didn't change in the slightest. It was indeed difficult for her to be interested in anything now.
Beside her, Wanyan Zhongjie sighed inwardly, but still cooperated and asked, "Mother, what's the good news?"
Pucha Alihu smiled and said, "Big Brother, Shi Jie, and the others have been released from the imperial prison."
"Ah?" Pucha Qiucao finally turned her head and said with some disbelief, "My father and the others have really been released?"
"Yes, not long ago, Wanyan Ping went to the imperial prison to read out the imperial edict." Pucha Alihu pulled over a stool and sat down. "Sometimes, I can't help but admire Song … Ahem, Tang Kuo Bian for being a man of his word. He's not the kind of irresponsible person who eats up everything."
Pucha Qiucao's face instantly turned red. She was actually in the most awkward position in this matter. Now that she was being teased like this, how could a little girl like her bear it?
"Mother ~" Wanyan Zhongjie couldn't bear to watch any longer. He rolled his eyes at his mother.
Pucha Alihu smiled slightly. "Who told you to keep a straight face all day? You look like you're about to escape into seclusion, so I had to find something to provoke you. But there's something I need to explain first. Even though your father and brother have been released from the imperial prison, they haven't obtained complete freedom. Instead, they'll be placed under house arrest in a residence. "
Pucha Qiucao finally spoke. "As long as they can be released safely, I'm satisfied. I don't have any extravagant hopes for anything else."
What a sensible girl. Pucha Alihu sighed inwardly. He then explained, "Qiucao, you don't have to worry too much. Big Brother was the one who led the rebellion, so he won't be released so quickly. However, he won't be under house arrest for life either. After a few years, he should be able to obtain complete freedom."
"And I just received news that that person has used Pucha Chazhen to join the Loyal Army." Although Pucha Alihu knew of Song Qingshu's identity, it wasn't convenient for him to reveal it to Qiucao. At the same time, he wasn't used to calling him Tang Kuo Bian, so he could only refer to him as' that person '. "Although Pucha Chazhen isn't a direct descendant of the clan leader, she's still a member of the Pucha clan. It's clear that there's hope for the clan to rise again in the future. Qiucao, come to think of it, you single-handedly saved the fate of the entire clan."
"Auntie, you praise me too much." Pucha Qiucao lowered her head shyly. "I really have to thank you this time, Auntie."
Pucha Qiucao smiled awkwardly. "What are you thanking me for? In the end, you still had to rely on yourself. Plus, that person … likes you."
