At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 251
Li Jing frowned: "It's related to me? Please tell Master Sun clearly."

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "Master Sun arrived here early in the morning, I wonder if I have had breakfast, why don't we sit down and have a sip of tea, eat something and talk slowly?"

"Hehe, Mr. Gao is being polite, so I will be bothering you if you are an official." Sun Yuanwailang smiled sweetly, thinking to himself, look at Gao Changqing, who is very good at being a man at a young age, but Li Jing is dozens of years old. It's not as good as the tall man Linglong knows things, no wonder he has been on the bench for more than ten years, but this guy probably stepped on shit recently, and his luck has turned.

The three sat down at the table, and asked the shopkeeper to serve tea and some breakfast again.Sun Yuanwailang took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then he took out a document from his sleeve and said: "The official came to find Mr. Gao this time, and I came here specially to send you the appointment document."

Gao Bufan said in astonishment: "Didn't the official's appointment document be completed yesterday? This is such an appointment document."

Sun Yuanwailang laughed and said: "It's Mr. Li's appointment document. It was finally done yesterday. Since the lower officials don't know where Mr. Li lives, they had no choice but to come to Mr. Gao. Mr. Gao is Mr. Li's brother-in-law, so he must know. Master Li's residence, I didn't expect Master Li himself to be here, so it's easy."

Li Jing was shocked, and looked at Gao Bufan suspiciously. Seeing that the latter also looked dazed, he was even more puzzled.Gao Bufan's heart sank slightly, could it be that this guy Hu Sizheng had already done his best, and came forward to vent his anger for his second brother Li Jing, and asked for the official document that had been suppressed all along?

"So that's it, Mr. Sun." Gao Bufan thanked, took the official document from Sun Yuanwailang and opened it, and found that it was indeed Li Jing's appointment document, which had been stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Officials. With this document, Li Jing can take office immediately, but the position on the document is a bit different, and it has changed from Mayi County Chancellor to Shanggu County Chancellor.

Gao Bufan handed the paperwork to Li Jing, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, second brother, you have been promoted to the post of Shanggu County."

"Shanggu Juncheng? Isn't it Mayi Juncheng?" Li Jing took a look at the document and found that it was indeed Shanggu Juncheng, and couldn't help frowning at Sun Yuanwailang.

Gao Bufan cupped his hands and asked, "Master Sun, what's the explanation?"

Sun Yuanwailang coughed lightly and said, "The higher-ups have made some adjustments. Mr. Li has now been changed to the prefect of Shanggu County."

Although it is also a county magistrate, Mayi belongs to Shangjun. , only positive six products.

Gao Bufan frowned and said displeasedly: "Who made this adjustment? Is it Mr. Wei, the servant of the Ministry of Officials?"

Sun Yuanwailang coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Gao, don't make wild guesses. This is a normal personnel adjustment. If Mr. Li has any objections, you can continue to wait for vacancies in the Ministry of Officials."

After all, Li Jing had more experience in the officialdom than Gao Bufan. He knew that his position as Mayi County Chancellor had been pending for a long time, and it must have been taken by someone else. As the saying goes, one radish has one hole, so now he can only transfer himself to Shanggu County as Juncheng.

"I have no objection, thank you, Mr. Sun." Li Jing stood up and cupped his fists in a salute, put the document away and put it in his arms.

Sun Yuanwailang heaved a sigh of relief, finally Li Jing was sensible and didn't make a fuss, he said with a smile, "Master Li, you are being polite. Congratulations, Sir Li, on your career path and success."

Since Li Jing had no objection, Gao Bufan naturally had no objection either. Anyway, he is the prefect of the county, so there is nothing to argue about if he is short of one and a half ranks, and Da Sui has only a few years to be an official, so everything will be overthrown and restarted. With the talent of the second brother, there is no need to worry about not being able to shine.

Sun Yuanwailang sat for a while, got up to leave after having some tea, Gao Bufan and Li Jing sent him out of the inn, and asked tentatively: "Master Sun, my second brother's appointment document has been pending, why is it suddenly ?”

Sun Yuanwailang played Tai Chi and said: "There must be a process. The higher-ups need to review and discuss. Some people are faster, and some people are later. It's normal."

Gao Bufan paused, and didn't ask again, at this moment, Sun Yuanwailang rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "It turns out that Mr. Gao has to be appreciated by the king, why didn't you say it earlier, hehe, Mr. Gao really hides his secrets, and he is a fearsome future generation! "

Gao Bufan was taken aback, Yue Wang Yang Tong?When did I get his appreciation?What's more, isn't Yue Wang Yang Tong only nine years old?What can he appreciate me?Appreciate that I pee farther than him?
Gao Bufan had a confused expression on his face, while Sun Yuanwailang had a secretive expression on his face, as if to say, you kid is really good at pretending, so keep on pretending!
Sun Yuanwailang got into the carriage and left. Li Jing asked suspiciously in a low voice: "When did you know King Yue, third brother?"

Gao Bufan shrugged and said, "Second brother, would you believe me if I said that I don't even know what the king of Yue looks like?"

Li Jing's frown deepened, but he still nodded and said: "I believe that the third brother will not lie to brother Yu, and there is no need for it."

Gao Bufan is at a loss now, but anyway, as long as it is not the greeting from Hu Sizheng, then everything will be easy to handle, and he said with a smile: "Whatever, anyway, the second brother's appointment paperwork is in hand, it is worth celebrating , It’s better to hit the sun than choose the day, second brother will go back and call sister-in-law, how about we find a big restaurant to celebrate?”

A smile appeared on Li Jing's face, and he was also very excited. He had been working as a member of the driving department for many years, but he couldn't use his abilities. Fist.

Although Shanggu County is just a lower county, not as prosperous as Mayi County, but Shanggu County is next to Zhuo County, bordering Turks, and Shanggu County has high mountains and dense forests, and there are as many bandits entrenched on Taihang Mountain, which is just used to show off their skills and make meritorious deeds. There are many opportunities, unlike Uiro, a member of the driver's department, who is doing nothing all day long, let alone doing meritorious service.

Thinking of this, Li Jing felt overwhelmed. He had to say that the third brother was really his nobleman. Now that he came here, he got the appointment document that had been delayed for half a year. It doesn't matter to him, on the contrary, he also feels that Shanggu County is more suitable for him.

It is worth mentioning here that although the county magistrate is only the assistant officer of the county magistrate, he is in charge of the soldiers and holds military power. On the contrary, the county magistrate does not have the military power and only manages politics. This is also a way for local officials to check and balance each other. Shangjun also set up the post of general guard. Although the official rank is below the county guard, it controls the soldiers and horses of one or several counties. For example, Zhang Xutuo is the general guard of Qi counties, with great power.

"It's too expensive to go to a restaurant to eat. Why don't you go to Brother Yu's house? Your sister-in-law's skills are not bad. Buy some ingredients and cook for yourself. It's safe and saves money." Li Jing has been poor for so many years, and he has become very frugal.

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "Alright, but elder brother doesn't mind younger brother bringing a few more people?"

Li Jing smiled and said, "Of course it's fine. The third brother's friends are also the second brother's friends, so there's no reason not to welcome them."

"If that's the case, let's change it to tomorrow. My younger brother invites a few friends to go together, so that I can make fun for you, second brother." Gao Bufan laughed.

Li Jing was in a good mood, full of energy, nodded and said: "That would be great, we just got excited, let's continue the chat, and we'll have a drink to celebrate tomorrow."

Gao Bufan shook his head and said, "Let's not talk anymore, second brother should hurry home and tell sister-in-law the good news, and make her happy too."

When Li Jing thought of his wife, Hong Fu Nu, he couldn't help but felt a soft heart. He was distressed and ashamed. He had really suffered for her all these years, so he nodded and said, "That foolish brother will leave first, and we will talk about it tomorrow."

Li Jing walked away excitedly, Gao Bufan stretched his waist, he was in an inexplicably good mood, but he was very puzzled, because according to what Sun Yuanwailang meant, it was the king of Yue, Zhao Tong, who had spoken, and the second brother Li Jing's appointment documents came down smoothly. What is the reason for this?I don't know Yang Tong at all, so I guess this kid doesn't have time to talk to me.

Come on, who cares, it's not enough to follow Yang Xuangan's path anyway, it's really nerve-wracking to think about it so much!

Gao Bufan saw that it was still early and he had a full breakfast, so he asked Gao Shixiong brothers to go for a walk in the street together.
