Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 408 Don't bother
The next day, in the county guard's office, Chen Zhi and Lu Qu stood opposite each other. Behind each other stood some people who were their staff members.

"Thanks to Governor Lu this time. Without your help, it might not be easy to organize these files." Chen Zhi said to the landing area with a smile.

Lu Qu's expression was a little unnatural, but he had to wave his hand and said in a pretentious manner: "Prefect Chen, you're too polite. I'm not helping you. Your methods are better."

These words were so sincere that even the staff behind him had to nod secretly, looking at Chen Zhi with a hint of awe.

According to Lu District's intention, they will leave today and leave some trouble for Chen Zhi. The key is to deliberately create difficulties when handing over government affairs to make Chen Zhi's future work more difficult.

For new employees, it is an important task to understand and review the affairs left by their predecessors. It is also a headache process. Because there are so many things, it is inevitable to focus on one and miss the other. In many places, if no one explains and does not understand the causes and consequences, it is inevitable that the situation will be like Like a headless fly.

In the past, there have been examples of predecessors deliberately embarrassment for their successors, leaving a mess of confusion without explaining things clearly, leaving one person in trouble and the other in trouble.

But this question had no effect on Chen Zhi. The staff in the Lu District asked a question, and just as he was about to explain it in a vague way, Chen Zhi would ask questions about key points. After a few questions, the staff would sweat profusely. , I have to take it seriously and answer it wholeheartedly.

Of course, the predecessor can deliberately embarrass the successor, but that is when others are unclear. If the successor is an expert and asks key questions, then according to the rules of the court, you must actively cooperate, otherwise the hostility will be too exposed. It was obvious, and it was not in line with Lu District's usual demeanor. Not to mention, the person responsible for the specific answer was not the prefect, but his staff who worked in the government.

The final result was that Lu District's group, who had planned to leave after just saying a few words, had to stay in the Yamen... for four hours, and even the plan to leave at noon had to be postponed.

This time was quite subtle, so many people inside and outside the yamen looked strange after learning the news.

Yang Song couldn't help but murmur in private: "Yesterday Chen Jun asked the prefect Lu to wait for four hours, but he just threw up his sleeves and left. Today he made it clear that he wanted to look good to Chen Jun. He wanted to fool him and took the people away. Then we are laughing at our jokes, but we don’t know that he is a joke! We don’t know what kind of person Chen Jun is. Many talented people and everyone in the capital admire Chen Jun’s ability and feel ashamed. He is just a bastard from a family in Lu District. A soldier like Jun has some foundation, but he actually wants to show off to Mr. Chen! You are not overestimating your capabilities!"

Others don't dare to speak like Yang Song, even in private, otherwise if it gets out accidentally and Lu District remembers it, the gain outweighs the loss. After all, Lu District is still a fifth-grade prefect no matter what!

However, the thoughts in this heart must be the same.

Lu District also knew it very well, so his face had a fever, and he felt like he couldn't get off the stage, but he had to stand there bravely, otherwise it would make people feel that he was afraid of Chen Zhi.

Finally, after Chen Zhi had finished asking questions, several staff members wiped their sweat and felt relieved. Lu District couldn't help but said: "Now that Governor Chen understands everything clearly, the handover is completed, and I am also done." After completing the task, Guangning County still needs me to deal with it, so let’s just say goodbye and I’ll leave here and now.”

I need to leave immediately!

When everyone heard this, they all knew what Lu District meant, and they were not surprised. Many people had expected it, like Yang Song, who secretly applauded, hoping that this person would leave quickly to avoid being a troublemaker here. Same, looking for trouble everywhere.

Even Chen Zi felt that if Lu Qu and others left at this time, although they would not give Chen Zhi face, they could still tolerate it. More importantly, if Chen Zhi wanted to truly control Dai County, then the original governor would be able to leave. The sooner the better, and he believed Chen Zhi would agree with this.

Just when everyone was thinking this way, Chen Zhi suddenly shook his head and said: "I advise Governor Lu to wait a while before leaving. I am afraid that the outside of the city is not very peaceful. If you leave now, it may be dangerous. Just to be on the safe side , stay for two more days and see the situation."

what?
At this moment, not only Lu District was stunned, but everyone else looked astonished. Even the people who followed Chen Zhi were full of confusion. Why not take this opportunity to let Lu District leave quickly and stay for the New Year? ?
"There is no reason." Before anyone else could say anything, Lu District shook his head and said: "I am no longer the governor of Dai County, and the handover has been completed, so there is no reason to stay. Besides, the person in Guangning County The border cannot be left unattended for a day. It is also located on the border and is threatened by the north. The position of county governor is vacant and the hidden dangers are even greater."

As he said that, he took a deep look at Chen Zhi and said: "As for the dangers outside, I know myself better than you. At this time in previous years, although there were tribes going south, but since the ceremony last year, these two The tribes in northern Xinjiang have died down a lot this year, and due to the influence of the cross-border trade, there won’t be any large numbers of troops coming over for at least one or two months.”

The hidden meaning of Lu District's words is to show that he knows the situation of this generation county better than Chen Zhi, and even the situation in northern Xinjiang. He wants to use this method to regain a victory and suppress Chen Zhi at the same time. arrogance.

Of course, after what happened, he couldn't stay here anymore.

"I'm not talking about ordinary tribes, but..." Chen Zhi shook his head and wanted to say more, but Lu District on the opposite side didn't want to stay here at all. He flicked his sleeves and walked away simply. .

Although Chen Zhi was helpless, he could only shake his head and sigh. The man opposite him was also a fifth-grade prefect like him, so he couldn't force him to stay. Moreover, the other party was still hostile, so it was even harder to explain his proposal. Maybe Lu District will misunderstand that he is planning something. "In this case, I can only wish you a safe journey." Chen Zhigong cupped his hands and sent the person away, but soon found someone else and gave a few instructions.

The confrontation between the old and the new was now over. After Lu District led the people away, the eyes of everyone in the room fell on Chen Zhi, especially the people of this generation, who had a hint of awe in their eyes. .

After all, I have never seen a new leader who is so proficient in business and understands the new unit so well, so they can't help but think more.

On the other hand, after Lu Qu and others left, they hurriedly got on the carriage and left Dai County. The old county guard couldn't help but said: "How could that Chen Zhi know so much about Dai County's files?" It’s clear, as if all the key points inside have been sorted out.”

He originally wanted to give Chen Zhi a show of strength today, but it turned out to be self-defeating, allowing Chen Zhi to show off his power in front of all the officials, and he couldn't help but feel resentful.

"I heard some rumors." Suddenly, a person came forward. He was also a staff member of the Lu District, but he usually didn't make much achievements. He was just good at paying attention to some rumors and news. "I heard that Chen Zhi yesterday, after hearing After Liu Bao's introduction, he declined the invitation to the dinner and went directly to the Yamen, and then did not come out. Someone saw that the lights in the back hall of the Yamen were not extinguished until midnight."

"Huh? Don't tell me that Chen Zhi stayed up late yesterday to read the file?" Lu District stared, "The file is so complicated, even if a dozen people sort it out, it would be busy. Chen Zhi read it all night. Are you able to answer questions fluently today? This ability is so..."

As he spoke, he suddenly froze and thought of a rumor.

It turned out that before this incident, there was some news about Chen Zhi from the Xianbei tribe. It was mentioned that Chen Zhi had a photographic memory, was good at sorting out and summarizing, and had political talents.

Because Youzhou is different from the states and counties in the south, there are military disputes all the year round, so some rumors about the folk here are not very well-informed, and many things have to be passed on from the frontier tribes, so a lot of news about Chen Zhi, the land area I learned it from the mouths of the Hu people.

So he didn't really believe it. He always felt that it was exaggerated, and in his heart, he had no good impression of this kind of young high-ranking official who was rising rapidly. Coupled with the arrival of Chen Zhi, his three-year plan came to nothing, let alone From Lu District's point of view, after three years of hard work, it was finally time to produce results, but Chen Zhi was advantaged in vain and became a wedding dress for others. How could he be reconciled?
In this situation, it was strange that he had no hostility in his heart.

Looking back now, he had to admit that Chen Zhi was quite capable.

I was still thinking here when suddenly the sound of horse hooves came from behind.

"Prefect Lu! Please stay!"

"Stop." Lu District waved his hand and poked his head out of the car window. What he saw was a knight. Judging from the direction, he was coming from Daijun. He had been surrounded by Lu District's servants to prevent him from doing anything. Abnormal movement.

"What's the matter with you?" Lu District asked calmly.

The rider revealed his identity and was a servant of the Chen family, and then said: "My master asked me to remind the prefect that if he goes to Guangning County, he should go south first and then go around to prevent any accidents."

"Don't worry, Grandmaster Chen." Lu District shook his head, "I know how this generation of the county is doing. I don't need Taishou to remind me. Please come back!"

After hearing this, the rider looked at the guards and servants around him, shook his head helplessly, and then walked away. Anyway, the words had been conveyed, and he had completed his mission.

When they saw the people leaving, one of the staff from Lu District said: "Why are you reminded repeatedly? Does it mean that Governor Chen knows Dai Jun better than the Lord? He just stopped the Lord from leaving. I don't know what the purpose is. Could it be that he knows the Lord better than the Lord?" What's the plan?"

Lu District said: "Don't worry about him, let's get on the road! Arrive in Guangning County as soon as possible!"

The convoy moved forward, heading northeast, aiming directly at Guangning County.

However, when they were about to arrive, there was dust rising on the distant horizon, and then sweeping over!
