Meng Huaining knew that the brothers of the Mo family cared very much about Mo Hanyue.
"Brothers, don't worry, I promise to take good care of Hanyue and won't let her suffer any injustice."
The Mohist brothers gathered around Meng Huaining and gave instructions. The local officials who came to please King Zhenxi were all dumbfounded.
It didn't matter that the Mo family's ancestral grave was covered with smoke and they were crowned king. Meng Huaining, the magistrate of Yuncheng County who was usually on an equal footing with them, turned out to be prosperous as well.
The emperor personally ordered him to come to Beijing, but he still held the position of chief assistant...
At this time, the prefect's forehead was already covered with sweat, and his mind was filled with images of the last time Meng Huaining came to him for help.
I thought it was over now. His attitude back then was like chasing someone away like a dog.
If I had known that Meng Huaining would be prosperous, I would have been willing to help him even if he had to go bankrupt to finance it, let alone ask him for help with a few thousand taels of money to buy grain seeds.
As expected, Meng Huaining held a grudge.
After he exchanged greetings with several uncles, his eyes fell directly on the magistrate.
The sharp look in his eyes made the prefect tremble all over, and then he knelt down in front of Meng Huaining with a plop.
"Sir, Chief Assistant, I was a blind official at the beginning. Please don't remember the villain's fault and let me go this time!"
The Mo brothers knew the reason why the prefect would act like this, but the county magistrates who came with him were confused.
Several people looked at each other, each of them wondering what the prefect had done to offend Master Meng to be so frightened after learning that he had become the first assistant.
Meng Huaining snorted coldly.
"You have done many wrong things. I will sort out the files and hand them over to King Zhenxi later."
Although he has been appointed as the chief assistant by the emperor's decree, he does not want to be a big clove of garlic on Brother Ninth's territory.
As soon as these words came out, the prefect was so frightened that he kowtowed to Meng Huaining and begged for mercy.
For this kind of person, Meng Huaining didn't even want to give him a look.
Now, Mo Jiuye was in a dilemma. He originally thought that Meng Huaining would be the prefect temporarily and help him manage the various matters in the fiefdom for a while. Unexpectedly, Nanyu was more anxious than him and asked him to enter the capital so quickly.
Meng Huaining originally planned to help Mo Jiuye share his worries for a period of time. He was familiar with the situation in the northwest, especially during the war, the comfort and livelihood of the people were very important.
After thinking for a moment, Meng Huaining suddenly remembered two people.
"Brother Ninth, Uncle Fang and Uncle Xie have both been officials for many years, especially Uncle Fang. He started out as an official in the same county. He definitely has the ability in this area."
How could Mo Jiuye not know this?
It's just that Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai are still prisoners exiled by the imperial court. Without the imperial court's decree, they cannot continue to serve as officials even in the fiefdom.
It seemed that there was still one thing he needed to do before he left, which was to ask Xiaobai to send a letter to Nanyu in the capital to ask for an imperial edict to pardon the charges for the Fang and Xie families.
In addition to them, Hu Cong's case was undoubtedly wronged, so it was understandable that he would help and put in a good word.
What's more, he believes that Nan Yu is a wise king. After receiving his letter, he will definitely arrange for appropriate officials to re-investigate the cases of several people and eventually clear their names.
But right now, the fiefdom also needs a suitable person to manage it.
This really stumped Mo Jiuye.
Meng Huaining had already thought of this.
"Brother Ninth, there are no absolutes in anything. Although the two uncles are in special circumstances and cannot become officials, if they change their identities as stewards of the palace, it would be justifiable!"
Meng Huaining's words can be said to have awakened the dreamer Mo Jiuye.
"As expected of a capable minister that the new emperor likes, he has a lively mind."
Mo Jiuye must be convinced of this.
Although he was born into a family of officials, after all, his family were all military officers and he had never considered these small issues, which was why he was in trouble today.
Now that he had a solution, Mo Jiuye immediately sent someone to invite Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai.
In fact, there was no need to invite them at all. Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai were also among the crowd watching the fun.
At this time, the two of them were solving puzzles for the villagers who couldn't figure out the situation.
"Have you seen it? The golden word "王" on the armor of the ninth master of the Mo family means that he is the prince.
There are also those generals' armors with golden characters on them, which means generals. "
"Brother Xie, do you mean that Mr. Mo is 90% the prince?"
"No, aren't the Mo family prisoners who were exiled by the imperial court? How can they become princes?"
"Don't scream nonsense. The name Mo Laojiu can no longer be used. When you see him, you must kneel down and call the prince a thousand years old..."
Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai only learned about Mo Jiuye being granted the title of King of the West today. While they were happy for the Mo family, they were also worried about their men.
Since ancient times, fighting has been a matter of keeping one's head in one's belt. The Mo family finally reunited one by one. No one can guarantee that they will come back alive from this expedition.
However, they felt that no matter what, the Mo family were strong men. If they were allowed to live a pastoral life like this all their lives, their talents would be buried. No matter what, the Mo family could still see the moonlight. Being able to become the King of Zhenxi means that their grievances have been cleared.
If it weren't for the fact that the Mo brothers were busy there and so many local officials came, they would have gone over to congratulate them.
Now, they don't have to think about when to go over to congratulate them. Mo Jiuye has already sent someone to invite them.
When the two of them arrived in front of Mo Jiuye, they congratulated him first, and then sincerely told the Mo family men to pay attention to safety when going to the battlefield, just like they did to their juniors.
Mo Jiuye exchanged a few words with the two of them and then got down to business.
"My two uncles must have heard that the emperor gave me the northwest as a fief.
The management of this fief requires capable manpower. Although some of them are overqualified, I still want to ask my two uncles to help me with this favor. "
Mo Jiuye's words were also full of sincerity and gave the two of them enough face.
"In what capacity does the prince intend to let us help you manage the fiefdom?" Fang Chuanzhou was willing from the bottom of his heart, but he also knew his identity. Although he also thought of the same method as Meng Huaining, he felt that this was still the case. Mo Jiuye said it best.
"I will write to the emperor later and ask him to order someone to help the two uncles reverse the case. Before the two uncles are cleared of their charges, I can only wrong you a little."
Although Mo Jiuye didn't explicitly say what he wanted to do if he wronged them, both of them knew it.
Xie Tianhai was the first to express his position: "My lord, please rest assured, even if I am asked to do this as the palace steward, I will have no complaints."
In the Dashun Dynasty, the housekeepers of the official families were very powerful. In other words, they were very powerful in fighting against the power of others.
