“Minister Jiang, since Ji Zhongcai knowingly broke the law and there is irrefutable evidence, he has committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor and will be beheaded. In that case, the position of zhou Shan mountain Prefecture’s position will be vacant. My Dear Minister, you’ve been traveling for more than half a year. Do you have any suitable candidates in mind to replace this vacant position?” The Emperor asked.

Generally speaking, the Emperor rarely asked Jiang Zhennan about these political matters.

However, this time, Jiang Zhennan must have his own purpose for interfering in Ji Zhongcai’s matter. That was why the Emperor had asked Jiang Zhennan.

He was not afraid that Jiang Zhennan would take this opportunity to plant his own men and forces. For him, the Emperor, anyone could betray him, including his concubines, princes, and grandchildren. Only Jiang Zhennan would not betray him.

He believed in Jiang Zhennan’s loyalty to him.

That was why he was so a.s.sured to let Jiang Zhennan secretly intervene in some things.

Jiang Zhennan lowered his head slightly, thought for a moment, and said, ” Your Majesty, when I pa.s.sed by anding County, I found that the county Magistrate Zhou Changsheng is a diligent and loving official. He is a good official who is honest and upright.”

At this point, Jiang Zhennan did not continue. The Emperor must have understood Jiang Zhennan’s meaning.

When the Emperor heard this, he frowned and thought for a moment. He asked with some doubt, ” Zhou Changsheng from the Zhou family?”

If it was someone from the Zhou family, he had to be careful.

The Zhou family was the third Prince’s external family. They had great power and influence and had long stood on the third Prince’s side.

Jiang Zhennan replied, ” Your Majesty, although Zhou Changsheng is a member of the Zhou family, the Zhou family seems to have forgotten that there is such a person in the Zhou family.”

This was to tell the Emperor that Zhou Changsheng had been abandoned by the Zhou family.

The Emperor said, ” but, he is still a member of the Zhou family.”

Jiang Zhennan suddenly knelt down and said to the Emperor, ” Your Majesty, please take a look at this!”

As he spoke, Jiang Zhennan took out a letter from his arms and handed it to the Emperor.

After the Emperor took the letter, he opened it and read it. He said, ” my Dear Minister, you should stand up and talk.”

Jiang Zhennan replied, ” yes, Your Majesty!

The Emperor held the letter and asked with a serious expression, ” is what the letter says true? ”

Jiang Zhennan nodded and said, ” Your Majesty, it’s true!”

After a moment of contemplation, the Emperor said, ” alright, we’ll do as you say! “However, “the Emperor changed the topic and said with some concern, “if Zhou Changsheng is put in an important position, the Zhou family will definitely not let the Zhou father and son off. Will they continue to be loyal?”

No matter how the Zhou family gave up on the Zhou father and son five years ago, once they entered the emperor’s eyes, how could the Zhou family give up such a good chess piece?

If the father and son of the Zhou family were really persuaded by the Zhou family and returned to the Zhou family, then they would use Zhou Changsheng. Wouldn’t that increase the power of the third prince?

Jiang Zhennan said, ” Your Majesty, as long as you treat Zhou Changsheng as one of your people, then Zhou Chang Sheng and his son will be the power to win over in everyone’s eyes. Especially the Zhou family will think of it as a bargaining chip. However, Your Majesty, since Zhou Changsheng and his son have already made up their minds, I’m sure they won’t be easily persuaded.”

Jiang Zhennan had opened up about the Zhou father and son’s matter in order to open a path for them.

Since Lin yuelan had decided to ‘support’ the Zhou father and son, they would definitely be her supporters in the future.

Another hidden meaning was that the Emperor would be Lin yuelan’s biggest backer.

At that time, when Lin yuelan came to the capital, those who wanted to suppress her would have to consider it further.

The Emperor nodded and said, ” since you strongly recommend it, then I will order Zhou Changsheng to immediately go to Zhou Shan city and take up the position of magistrate!”

…

The moment Zhou Changsheng received the Imperial edict, he was happy, excited, and surprised. At the same time, he was a little worried.

“Congratulations, Lord Zhou!” The eunuch who was holding the horsetail whisk smiled at Zhou Changsheng and said, ” from tomorrow onwards, you will be the prefect of Zhou Shan!

“Many thanks, eunuch Liu!” Zhou Changsheng replied politely, ” it’s just a small token of respect! He took a tray with a few silver ingots from his hand and placed it in front of the eunuch. He continued, “Your group is tired from the journey. Take these small gifts and have a drink to relieve your fatigue!”

The eunuch accepted the silver and said to Zhou Changsheng, ” thank you, Lord Zhou!”
