Chapter 920 Governor

When the emperor heard the King of Qi lost his voice, he smiled faintly and asked, "Yingren, do you think it's not possible?"

"Father, that... that... there are so many suitable candidates. Why do you want Chu Huan to go?" The King of Qi knew that he was incompetent and said nervously: "Chu Huan was in charge of serving in the local area, but suddenly he was asked to go to the northwest. It was always... always something inappropriate!"

But the prince had already said, "Yingren, you said there are many candidates, so why not recommend one person!"

Yingren was stunned for a moment, and there was no way to pick someone out.

"Chu Huan is one of the few officials in the court who had seen the northwest after the war." The prince said slowly: "If you want to clean up the stalls in Xiguan today, it is not necessary to say that all the civil and military talents are all there. Father, I heard that when Chu Huan entered the capital, he passed three passes in the Iron Blood Garden and was both civil and military. This is why the father entrusted him with important tasks. I wonder if the son entrusted him to remember it wrong?"

The emperor nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Chu Aiqing is indeed a pillar of my Great Qin."

"He led the mission to Xiliang, and was not afraid of the danger in the Xiliang King Hall. He showed his power and was extremely courageous. Huang Ju rebelled, and Chu Huan stepped forward and was loyal. This time he went to Anyi, not only assisted the local area in destroying the Huang clan, but also defeated the conspiracy of Tianmendao. He was both wise and brave. Isn't such a person the father needs?" The prince calmed down and said slowly: "Now it is the time to hire people. Although Chu Huan has not served in the local area, it is because of this that it has nothing to do with Xiguan, so he can carry out drastic rectification. Chu Huan has both wisdom, courage and loyalty, and his son cannot think of a more suitable candidate."

The emperor looked at Chu Huan with his stroking fingers and asked, "Aiqing Chu, the prince recommended you to go to the northwest to serve as the governor of Xiguandao. What do you think about it yourself?"

Chu Huan was shocked indescribable at this time. He never expected that after much discussion, he would actually transfer himself to the northwest.

The Governor of the Northwest is of course an official position with real power, but the current situation in Xiguandao is complicated and in a mess. Chu Huan really doesn't think it is a good place.

He suddenly thought of Taoist Master Hongyu's hexagram. Taoist Master Hongyu claimed that Chu Huan was about to leave the capital soon. Was it really the old Taoist priest saying? In this way, the old Taoist priest really has two skills.

"Master, I am afraid." Chu Huan said respectfully: "I ask myself if I don't have that talent. Your Highness is really over-reputable. Xiguan is a big deal. If you choose the governor, you must think carefully. I... I really can't do it."

The prince smiled and said, "Master Chu is humble. The most important thing about Xiguan Road is to rebuild and rebuild the people after the war. I thought it was necessary to send officials from the Ministry of Revenue to come here. At that time, the first person I thought of was drinking. Now it is the time to use people, so Master Chu does not have to humble himself. He should share his worries for his father."

Shen Keqiu also said: "Master, the Crown Prince recommends Lord Chu, he is really the best candidate. The old minister is confused and he didn't expect the most suitable candidate to be right in front of him."

Yingren said anxiously: "Father, Chu Huan has never managed the local area. If there is any mistake, it will cause the national affairs...!"

The emperor shook his head and said, "Don't worry about this. As long as Chu Aiqing does his best to do his best, there will be no big mistakes. I can also assure you that even if there are minor mistakes, I will never blame you. Xiguan is now an extraordinary time. Chu Aiqing adapts to local conditions and can manage it with great means. I only need to see Xiguan Road settle down as soon as possible and restore order. If you do it, you will give it to Chu Aiqing with full power."

Chu Huan was surprised. When the emperor said this, he seemed to have made up his mind to let him go to the northwest. Although many people dreamed of this mobilization, Chu Huan was extremely unhappy.

He tried his best to make extraordinary achievements. The purpose was to gain a foothold in the court, stay in the capital, and then fulfill his wishes. However, the merits were built, but because they were too prominent, the capital could not be kept. Chu Huan secretly complained and sighed that if he knew this, he would have shown more mediocrity after entering the capital.

He had the last glimmer of hope and bowed: "Master, I am really unable to do my best. This matter is of great importance. I also ask the Master to think twice...!"

Before he finished speaking, the emperor shook his head and said, "No need to say anything. I have decided, so you will be the governor of Xiguan Road." Seeing that Chu Huan seemed a little reluctant, he seemed to feel that his tone was heavier. He sighed and his voice was slightly slower, "Love Chu, you understand what the court is like. The demonic path of the Tianmen in the southeast is at work. My mind is in the southeast, but if the northwest is unstable, I worry all my mind, so how can I put my mind in the southeast? Although you have not been an official for a long time, I admire you very much. As the prince said, you are both wise and brave, but you are loyal to me. I am actually tyrannical and brave. In fact, it depends on my eyes and I look at people very accurately. Since I want you to go to Xiguan, you will definitely not let my expectations down..."

Chu Huan gritted his teeth and said, "Master, is it...you have to go?"

All the officials were shocked, and the emperor said this. Why was Chu Huan so ungrateful and had to bargain? You need to know how long it took for Chu Huan to enter the capital. In less than two years, he went from an unknown person to a governor and a chief official. This is a blessing for several lifetimes of cultivation, and he also caught up with this time. If it weren't for the changes in the northwest and the relationship with the King of Qi, you wouldn't have been so kind even if you practiced for a few lifetimes.

Many people even think that Chu Huan is just taking advantage of the situation. Isn’t he just trying to become a successful person with the King of Qi? Even if the King of Qi ascended the throne and has a close relationship with the King of Qi, his qualifications and age are there. If the King of Qi becomes the emperor, he will not be able to be the king and the prime minister. It is almost the same as if he can give you a chief official. Now the emperor has given you a governor in advance. With Chu Huan’s qualifications and prestige, this is already a big event that shocks everyone. You are still pretentious here, and you are really ungrateful.

Not to mention this dynasty, even the previous dynasties, they would become a governor at their early twenties. It was only a handful of people and rare tightness. Such kindness made Chu Huan look like he was going to hell, which was really hard to understand.

The emperor was not angry, but nodded and said, "Since I have decided, I will definitely have to go. Chu Huan, what are the difficulties you have? You can tell me now that as long as it is reasonable, I will agree."

Chu Huan knew that the overall situation had been settled, and she was still thinking about whether Xu Congyang would come out to say a few words, but Xu Congyang looked at his eyes and nose and his heart seemed to have not seen it, and Chu Huan knew that his hope was slim.

He glanced at Ma Hong. This guy usually talked about him and didn't have a good impression of him. He thought Ma Hong would come out to object, but unfortunately, this guy didn't say a word at all, but instead showed a bit of spirit in his eyes.

Chu Huan's heart turned around and understood Ma Hong's thoughts.

He was in the Ministry of Revenue and was always a thorn in Ma Hong's eyes. Ma Hong was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and could not cover the sky with his hands because of Chu Huan's existence. Now Chu Huan has made great contributions in Anyi and is in the limelight. If he still stays in the Ministry of Revenue, Ma Hong, the Minister of Revenue, will probably even bow down to his subordinates' ministers. Maybe one day even his position as the Minister of Revenue may be replaced by this newly-popular new genius in the court.

Now that Chu Huan is transferred, although he is a magistrate of the border, at least the Ministry of Revenue has lost the figure of Chu Huan. No matter how powerful Chu Huan is, he can only make trouble in the northwest of the border and can no longer stop the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue. Ma Hong, the Minister of Revenue, naturally, is unable to seek it. Once the plague god leaves, he will be the master of the Ministry of Revenue in the future.

Chu Huan sighed in his heart, the tree had already been completed, and he could not help but say: "The emperor has a decree, and I should obey it. But... I am really unfamiliar with the Xiguan Dao, and I know nothing about the customs and customs of the country and people... If I have any mistakes in the future, I... I also beg the emperor to be able to give up the slightest...!"

Suddenly, several ministers laughed in their hearts. Chu Huan is young, and most people would never have thought that he would be sent to Xibei as governor. This is the youngest governor since the founding of this dynasty. Nowadays, even if you send experienced veteran officials, you may not be able to clean up the mess in Xiguan. Chu Huan, a new official with shallow experience, would be a bit whimsical about trying to clean up the Xiguan Road. However, this order was recommended by the prince and the emperor had already made the decision. Many people didn't object. However, most people felt that Chu Huan would have to make a fool of themselves when he arrived in the northwest, and they were afraid that they would be dismissed from office in the future. However, they also thought that they would be laughed at that time.

The emperor smiled and said, "I know what you think." He glanced at the side. Shui Lian beside him, bowed his body and retreated. He soon came over with a jade plate covered with yellow silk. He looked at the emperor. The emperor nodded slightly. Shui Lian took the jade plate and walked straight to Chu Huan, lifting the yellow silk, but inside it was a golden object that looked like a token. He saw the word "大" engraved in the middle.

"This is the death-free golden sword I have prepared for you!" The emperor stroked his beard and said, "I know that the situation in Xiguan Road is unusual. If you can't rest, you can't handle it well. You will carry this golden arrow with you. I will give you this golden sword in front of all the ministers today. If you have this golden sword, if you give it a life, if you have a death sentence in the future, you can replace it with this golden sword!"

All the ministers were shocked.

Since its founding, I have never heard of any Golden Sword for Refusing Death. Many ministers in the court, if they were negligent, the emperor would kill them. No one has ever committed a death sentence but was safe and sound.

Today, the emperor gave the Golden Sword of Immunity in front of all the ministers. This honor is unprecedented. All the ministers felt that the emperor was really kind to Chu Huan.

Chu Huan refused, thanked and put it away, and then said, "Master, if I go to Xiguan, I will ask the emperor to beg you for your kindness!"

"It's okay if you talk!"

"I know that there are several major events when I go to Xiguan. To calm the people, to calm the bandits and to rectify the officials, to rectify the production, to rank fourth, to restore production, to be the top priority." Chu Huan said solemnly: "I only hope that the emperor can be kind and let the court provide support to the northwest..."

The emperor comforted his heart and said, "I have issued an order last time to exempt Xiguan Road from taxes for three years. Within three years, you do not need to pay a monday of silver to the court. You only need to let the people of Xiguan Road fill their stomachs. Within three years, you will be able to recover your vitality. After three years, I will ask you for money."
