Invincible son

Chapter 263 262 [Under the City]

Mo Qingyun, the second place in the palace examination in the seventh year of Renxuan, was first awarded the editorship of the Imperial Academy, and stayed in the Imperial Academy in the first year of Kaiping.If he followed the normal trajectory, he could stay in the noble yamen of the Imperial Academy, wait for the opportunity to be directly promoted to the Minister of the Six Departments, and then release a governor, and then he can wait for the vacancy to enter the East Mansion.

Most of the top civil servants in Daliang would have such an official career, Luo Ting was the only exception for so many years.

In the second year of Kaiping, Mo Qingyun voluntarily applied to be released to the outside world. Just as there was a vacancy in the post of Linqing County Magistrate, he came to the west to take charge of a place and worked here for three years.It is true that the imperial academy edited and sent out the county magistrate to a slightly lower standard, usually they are all magistrates of the same prefecture, but Linqing is different from other places after all, and it is not an insult to the second place.

In fact, there are many people who want this official position. Mo Qingyun was able to get it without any suspense. Many people think that it has something to do with his background.

Dong Fuzuo is in power, and Mo Haoli, the elder of the four dynasties, is his clan elder.

Therefore, in front of Mo Qingyun, Yu Zheng never dared to put on that kind of reckless military style, stood by the side of the road and waited respectfully: "The county lord, it should be Pei Qin who came here."

Mo Qingyun is 30 years old this year, six years younger than him.He had a handsome face, strong facial features, and a short beard on his chin. He glanced at him approvingly, and said succinctly: "Yu Guerzilla, please follow me to see the Imperial Envoy."

Yu Zheng's mouth was bitter. He thought that this young and promising magistrate would take the initiative to trouble Pei Yue, but he still couldn't get away in the end.But he could only slander a few words. After all, as the commander of the Xiang army stationed in the city, he had no excuse to reject Mo Qingyun's proposal.

"You don't need to bring your subordinates, you and I can just go."

Mo Qingyun said something lightly, and headed towards the distance first.

Yu Zheng sighed softly in his heart, gritted his teeth and followed.

Those scholars and common people were thrown together, and many of them were already dirty.The common people are fine, they are wearing coarse clothes, it doesn't look obvious.Those scholars were all wearing clean and white long gowns. Even though they had gotten some dust when they watched the third team before, they still maintained their demeanor on the whole.At this moment, they looked almost the same as refugees, and many of them had messy hair and crowns, looking very miserable.

Mo Qingyun didn't look sideways, completely ignoring the expectant eyes of those people, and finally came to the rear of the whole team after making a big circle.

Here, he and Yu Zheng finally met the well-known imperial envoy Pei Yue.

Surrounded by more than a dozen personal soldiers, surrounded by three hundred cavalry guards, the young dignitary rode a tall horse with a very impressive aura.

With a calm expression, Mo Qingyun came straight to Pei Yue's horse, bowed and said, "Linqing County Magistrate Mo Qingyun, join Pei Qin's mission."

Yu Zheng hurriedly followed to greet him.

Pei Yue put his hands on the horse's back and said flatly, "No."

Mo Qingyun straightened up, looked up at Pei Yue, his eyes were as sharp as a sword: "Dare to ask Commissioner Pei Qin, are you going to rebel?"

Yu Zheng almost bit his own tongue.

Pei Yue didn't get angry, just smiled lightly, and answered irrelevantly: "Mozhi County, since you left Beijing in the second year of Kaiping, you never talked about your relationship with Mo Zhizheng, for fear that others would suspect that your second place in the list back then had something to do with it." Moisture, I'm even more afraid that people will say behind your back that you were able to stay in the Hanlin Academy because of Mo's power, right?"

Mo Qingyun's complexion changed slightly, and his awe-inspiring aura just now stagnated.

Pei Yue recalled the information about this person sent by Qi Min in his mind, and said with great interest: "You don't want to be judged all your life, but you can't lose this surname. So you don't want to be a noble official in the Imperial Academy. Do it, go to the western region to be the county magistrate, and want to make some political achievements with your own ability, and enter the government in the future with dignity. I think you are very ambitious, but you seem to have chosen the wrong place. Before you came, Lin Qing is an upper-class county, and it ranks high in terms of population, people's livelihood, and taxation in the entire Daliang. You have been here for three years, and everything is developing in a good direction, but how much credit do you have for this?"

Mo Qingyun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said slowly: "Master Imperial Envoy, it seems that this is the first time I have met you."

Pei Yue nodded, and said in a complicated tone: "Although it's the first time we met, I still know Mozhi County well. If I were you, I would definitely not choose Linqing, at least I should choose a low-level county and do my job there. Isn’t it easier to get others’ approval by making achievements? I understand that some things are beyond your control, and being able to fight for release is already the limit of your ability. If you don’t rely on Mo’s prestige in power, why do you interfere with the arrangements of the Ministry of Officials’ Anthology Department?”

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes gradually turned cold: "I heard that Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials is a student of Mo Zhizheng, and he happens to be in charge of the Wenxuan Department, so how could he appoint you to be an official in a bitter cold place? Yuzhou Jianglu Mo Although the family is a high-ranking family, it seems that there have not been many talents in these years. You are the most promising young man of the Mo family after Mo came to power, how could his old man let you take risks?"

Mo Qingyun's hands hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly, he felt that he was stripped clean by the words of this young dignitary, as if he was naked in the ice and snow.

Pei Yue sighed, and said lightly: "Why do I know you so well? Because I came to Lingzhou to do business, and I happen to be in Linqing County under your jurisdiction. How can I turn a blind eye to the descendants of Mo's family who are very optimistic about the ruling?"

Mo Qingyun held back his embarrassment and anger and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, what exactly do you want to say?"

Pei Yue looked straight into his eyes, and said coldly: "Maybe you are really capable and hearty, but you are definitely not the kind of loyal minister who is dedicated to the people, so don't put on airs in front of me, understand? ? As the head of a county, you can't even control the scholars and people under your rule, and let them besiege the imperial guards, and now you still have the face to ask me if I want to rebel?"

His tone was suddenly severe, and he reprimanded: "Go back to me and invite that old master Yan out. I want to see if this Linqing is still the territory of Daliang. You are so cowardly that even the imperial envoys dare to tease you!"

Mo Qingyun's face turned pale and he could hardly stand up.

Seeing this, Yu Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and then looked at Pei Yue with a flattering smile.

"This is Yu Gueran, right? Please help Mo Zhi County go back."

Pei Yue said indifferently, waved his horsewhip lightly and said: "I will give you another time to burn incense, if Yan Linchuan does not come, I will strip the green skirts of these scholars, and drive all these people into the mine Digging coal!"

"My lord, calm down, there may be some misunderstandings—"

"roll!"

Pei Yue shouted loudly, and more than a dozen soldiers behind him drew their swords at the same time.

Yu Zheng was so frightened that his legs went limp, he didn't dare to argue, so he hurriedly carried Mo Qingyun back in a panic.

Pei Yue looked at them indifferently.

He carefully recalled all the process from receiving the urgent report yesterday to the present, and after repeated scrutiny in his mind, he always felt that something was wrong.Of course the Linqing coal mine must be taken down, but compared to other issues, this matter can be left to the last, so after leaving Xingyang yesterday, he has been considering the real reason for this change in his heart.

Why did Yan Linchuan suddenly make such a naive move?
Did he really think that relying on these scholars and common people could force the imperial envoys to retreat?

Although he took the initiative to give up the virtuous and the position of right ruling to Luo Ting, but he has been an official in the capital for decades, and this old man who is nearly seven years old should not be so simple.

Just as Pei Yue frowned and thought, fifty miles to the northwest of Linqing County, smoke billowed.

Countless knights roared over.
