August 2nd, morning.

Chen Fei opened his eyes and wanted to turn over and get up, but he felt a slight soreness in his waist and back.

He rubbed his waist and shook his head helplessly.

Should I consider asking Hua Tuo to prescribe some tonic?

I have been staying in Luoyang for nearly two months and have been well maintained. Now I am back in Yangxia, facing the concubine who is eating marrow and knows the taste, I am obviously overworked.

Especially last night, I don’t know if it was because I drank some wine or was in a good mood, which led to my enthusiasm. I actually killed seven in seven out in one breath, and then I stopped.

"Husband, do you want to drink water?"

Yang Lian, who woke up a little earlier than him, had already washed and cleaned up properly. Her plain white gauze dress made her face look more and more charming.

Chen Fei took the water cup and took a sip. He immediately felt refreshed and opened the thin silk quilt:

"Xiaolian, please change your clothes for me."

Although she became his woman two years ago, Yang Lian was still a little shy when she saw his lower body without a trace, blushed her cheeks slightly, and began to dress him.

Chen Fei noticed that her body seemed to be trembling slightly, as if she had not completely recovered from the madness of last night. She couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke the other person's little face:

"I'll be lighter next time."

Yang Lian's face became more and more rosy. She shook her head quickly and said weakly:

"Just like it..."

She didn't dare to confess to Chen Fei that she secretly added something to the fine wine she drank yesterday!

Half an hour later, Chen Fei started a day's government affairs.

Xu Shao, a ruling school, took the lead in reporting:

"Former Yuzhang Prefect, Zhuge Xuan of Langya arrived in Yangxia yesterday and is now waiting for summoning outside the hall."

Chen Fei did not rush to summon him, but asked:

"I don't know anything about this person. In my opinion, what official position can I appoint?"

This is Xu Shao’s job, so he certainly has dealt with it:

"Yuzhang is a remote county. Although it is two thousand stones, it is insignificant. Moreover, he was once an old official of Yuan Shu and then served Liu Biao. Obviously, he was not a loyal and righteous minister. If the monarch valued his family and his talents, he might as well appoint a county magistrate or county magistrate, and he would be grateful."

Chen Fei thought for a moment, raised his chin towards Xun Ji, who immediately bowed and retreated, bringing Zhuge Xuan who had been waiting for a long time in.

"Zhuge Xuan of Langya, pay homage to General Cheqi and Cavalry, Marquis of Wugong!"

Zhuge Xuan is more than eight feet tall and was originally a handsome talent, but he has been working hard for the past two months and has lost a lot of weight, so his voice is a little hoarse. In addition, he has to bow to the ground and he seems to be completely confident.

Chen Feixu helped him and pointed to the right:

"You are here for thousands of miles. I welcome you very much. There is no need for such a great gift. Come and take your seat quickly."

"General Thank you!"

Zhuge Xuan thanked him loudly, bowed to the people in the hall, and then found an empty seat to sit down.

Chen Fei looked at him and said:

"Zhu Gongwei, the governor of Yangzhou, has already written to me, and I have praised you for your talents. I also want to use it. However, now all the two thousand stones in the prefectures and counties are full, and only a few counties still have vacancies, but I wonder if you can surrender?"

Zhuge Xuan is not a character, and there is no need to use any routines on him. It is more efficient to go straight.

Sure enough, Zhuge Xuan hurriedly bowed and replied:

"Xuan is over. If the general pitys and promises a place to live, even if he gets what he wants, how can he say "tolerate"?"

Chen Fei nodded slightly, satisfied with his attitude:

"Our army has just recovered Mount Tai, but the counties are still dissatisfied. You are a native of Langya. You must be familiar with Mount Tai, right?"

Zhuge Xuan nodded repeatedly:

"Although General Mingjian, Taishan and Langya belong to two states, they are actually Linxian County. The customs and people are very similar, and even the accents are the same."

Chen Fei smiled:

"I see that the territory under Mount Tai is very wide. Although Zhang Wenyuan is a brave general, he specializes in training troops and may not be able to take into account local government affairs. I will be the commander of the southern Taishan Mountain, governing the military and political affairs of the three counties south of Mengshan, Nancheng and Nanwuyang, with a rank of thousands of stones. He assisted the prefect of Mount Tai Zhang Wenyuan to resist the invasion of Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Lu Bu and others."

Zhuge Xuan, who had just been in the seat for two minutes, immediately stepped out of the line and fell to his knees:

"Thank you General, Xuan Bi does his best to live up to the general's trust!"

Taishan County is surrounded by mountains and has advantages when defending. As long as it is properly deployed and sufficient food and supplies, even mediocre people can hold on for a long time. Chen Fei is not worried.

Of course, he was not worried that Zhuge Xuan would give these three county towns to others, after all... Chen Fei is now the number one prince in the world!

Seeing Zhuge Xuan take his seat again, Chen Fei asked casually:

"Zhuge Langya is also a famous clan in Xuzhou. Apart from Zhuge Duwei, do you have other children?"

Since he had officially become a superior and subordinate, he immediately changed his title to a formal official title.

Zhuge Xuan's expression was slightly depressed:

"The world is in chaos, and Zhuge has never been spared. There is only one official in my generation. As for the younger generation... there are only four sons and nephews."

Chen Fei rubbed his chin:

"If there are virtuous children, you might as well recommend them to me, and I should use them myself."

A strange look appeared on Zhuge Xuan's face:

"Thank you, General. Their sons and nephews are still young, with only their deceased brothers and eldest sons. Zhuge Jin is the only one who is an adult. He heard that the general is about to hold a ceremony for the election of wise men and has signed up for the government office and has been preparing for the exam these days."

Chen Fei smiled and praised:

"This is to be reused by real talent and knowledge! I look forward to his performance!"

Zhuge Xuan was about to be humble when he heard Xun Ji report:

"Your Majesty, the former prefect of Mount Tai, and Runan Ying Shao asked for a visit."

Chen Fei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:

"I can't get around Taishan today, please come in."

He glanced at Ying Yu, the official sitting behind Yuan Hui, and asked:

"Delian, what do you think Lingzun can do? Should I assign any position?"

Ying Yu looked surprised and obviously was very embarrassed. After all... in traditional ethics, his son was very rude to talk about his father at any time.

He hesitated for a long time and finally spoke:

"My father... was knowledgeable and knowledgeable. For decades, he always puts learning first, proficient in etiquette, calendar, laws and regulations, and has written many works. When he was appointed as the magistrate of Taishan County, he also led his army to defeat the Yellow Turban bandits many times, which can be regarded as Yunwen and Wu."

Guo Jia suddenly smiled:

"The Yellow Turbans could not invade Mount Tai, so they could only turn to Jibei and Dongping, which led to the defeat of the former Yanzhou governor Liu Dai, and then Cao Cao was able to succeed him as governor..."

He didn't finish the following words, but Chen Fei understood what he meant.

After Cao Cao succeeded to the governor, although Ying Shao was not his direct confidant, he continued to be independent of Mount Tai because of his qualifications and prestige. However, two years later, Cao Song's family was murdered by Zhang Kai at the junction of Mount Tai and Xuzhou, and Ying Shao was in an extremely embarrassing position, which directly led to him resigning from his post and fleeing, and going to Jizhou to seek the protection of his fellow villager Yuan Shao...

While speaking, Ying Shao had already walked into the hall door. He was only in his early forties, but he had been jumping repeatedly on both sides of the Yellow River in the past two years and was in a state of fear. His hair and beard turned out to be half white, and he looked more than ten years older than his actual age.

He stood in the hall and bowed:

"Ying Shao, a man from Caoye in Runan, pay homage to General Cheqi!"

Compared to Zhuge Xuan, his voice was very loud.

Chen Fei raised his right hand:

"You should ask me to get up. The son is my servant. I have always admired his talents very much. Now that you have returned from Hebei, I am even more relieved that the wise and son have been reunited."

Ying Shao bowed twice:

"A dog son is not talented and ignorant at a young age. I thank Junhou for taking him in."

After he sat opposite Zhuge Xuan, Chen Fei also asked directly:

"The Ying family has a lot of knowledge and is very proficient in etiquette, law, law and order. I want to appoint Sima, the general of chariot and cavalry, to be in charge of etiquette and punishment in the military. I wonder if I can surrender?"

Generally speaking, a general's main subordinate is a chief minister and two Simas. In addition to the chief minister Jia Xu, two Simas have been appointed by the general of Chen Fei's chariots and cavalry, Guo Jia and Xu Shu (Xu Shu joins the army and acts in the Sima), but... in the current court, will anyone accuse him of having an extra subordinate official?

Although they both surrendered actively, Ying Shao and Zhuge Xuan were a little different. After all, he had served under Yuan Shao for two years, and both of them were fellow villagers in Runan. Chen Fei was not willing to hand over the military and political affairs of the county to his hands. He temporarily let him take charge of etiquette and military law, which is a way for the people to use.

Ying Shao was also very cooperative and excited:

"Thank you, General!"
