Chapter 691 Two Kings Rule the Country

Pei Yuanjun raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Hanzhang in surprise. The hand holding the tea bowl trembled slightly, causing the sugar water in the bowl to ripple.

Seeing Zhao Hanzhang looking at her, she hurriedly put down the tea bowl and folded her hands in front of her belly, but her face returned to calm, but her heart was filled with waves. She never expected that Zhao Hanzhang would ask her to go out... to be an official.

Although Pei Yuanjun tried his best to restrain himself, his eyes quickly filled with tears, and he could not hide his emotions, "Your Majesty... you want me to be the book supervisor?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded with a smile and said: "I have female officials such as Fan Ying, Wang Huifeng, Wang Yifeng and Zhao Yunxin around me now, but this is far from enough. Wang Yifeng recommended you to me before, and I have always heard that Miss Pei is talented, so I came here." Please, please also ask Miss Pei to help me."

Pei Yuanjun nervously twisted his hands together and said in a difficult voice: "You are young, so you may not know that I was engaged to Wang Rong's son, Wang Sui. After his death, I was ordered not to go out, so..."

Zhao Hanzhang said nonchalantly: "Wang Rong is already dead. Besides, he won't die, so what do I have to fear?"

Pei Yuanjun swallowed nervously and looked at her with some anticipation and excitement.

Ting He, who was standing aside, said: "Miss Pei, the former Crown Princess is now our envoy's governor. He, Wang Rong, used to be a high-ranking official, but how does he compare to the former Crown Princess?"

But don’t the aristocratic nobles recognize Wang Rong’s power more?

However, judging from Zhao Hanzhang's behavior in the past two years, it seems that she does not like the family's debt. Pei Yuanjun tightened his grip. This may be her only chance.

Wan Gu on the side also looked at Pei Yuanjun eagerly, with expectation in her eyes.

Pei Yuanjun raised his head and looked at Zhao Hanzhang seriously. He straightened his back and bowed deeply forward. He knocked his forehead on the back of his hand and said solemnly: "Thank you for not giving up. Yuanjun will do his best until he dies."

Zhao Hanzhang hurriedly helped her up, showing a cheerful smile, "Okay, then I will wait for Secretary Pei at Zhao Zhaijing tomorrow."

Pei Yuanjun nodded with bright eyes and sent Zhao Hanzhang to live outside the gate.

Watching Zhao Hanzhang and his servant go away, Pei Lai and Pei Lun immediately turned to ask Pei Yuanjun, "Yuanniang, what did the envoy say to you?"

Zhao Hanzhang said goodbye as soon as he left Pei Yuanjun's yard, leaving Pei Lai and Pei Lun, who wanted to keep her for a while, too late to speak.

Pei Yuanjun and his two clan brothers bowed slightly and said, "The envoy came to ask me to be her supervisor. I have agreed and will take office tomorrow."

Pei Lai and Pei Lun both stared, "What?"

Pei Lai, "Why did Ambassador Zhao invite you?"

Pei Lun: "Doesn't this mean to offend the Wang family?"

Their brothers are here. If you want to use their Pei family members, just use them. Why should you invite Pei Yuanjun?

Pei Yuanjun didn't know how to answer these two questions, so he said: "Perhaps the two brothers can consult Ambassador Zhao."

After saying that, he bowed and took Wan Gu back to his yard.

Pei Lai and Pei Lun: ...They dare to ask her.

Watching Pei Yuanjun's leaving figure, Pei Lun frowned, "If we let her out, will the Wang family and her in-laws hate me?"

Pei Lai: "Then you dare to stop her and prevent her from going out?"

He said: "Now, letting her go out may offend the Wang family, but not letting her out will definitely offend Zhao Hanzhang."

If they choose one of the two, they would rather offend Wang than Zhao Hanzhang.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current manager, and now, both the county magistrate and the current manager are Zhao Hanzhang.

Pei Lun and Pei Lai looked at each other and silently suppressed all the worries, envy and jealousy in their hearts.

Zhao Hanzhang looked up at the position of the sun and decided to buy some delicious food to take back for lunch.

Tinghe followed behind to pay, a little puzzled, "Isn't the girl always in need of people? I think the men of the Pei family are very willing to pay, why doesn't the girl ask them to help?"

Zhao Hanzhang: "They are not worthy of my personal invitation."

She said: "I invited too many people, which made the truly talented people mediocre, so not everyone is worthy of my invitation."

"If the brothers of the Pei family want to become officials, they can first pass the talent recruitment examination; second, they can come to me to recommend themselves; third, they can ask others to recommend them. None of their three methods worked, which shows that the desire to become an official has not outweighed the reserve in their hearts."

Zhao Hanzhang is not afraid of ambitious people now, but he is afraid of people who are not worthy of their reputation and those who insist on their reputation and do not do practical things.

Ting He: "Have you only met Miss Pei once, do you know she is a very talented person?"

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "Not to mention that her handwriting is really good, her identity and current situation make it worth me to invite her."

Tinghe is the big girl next to her. She handles many of Zhao Hanzhang's affairs. There will be more things that she needs to handle in the future, so Zhao Hanzhang is happy to teach her.

She said carefully: "Everyone is afraid of the power of the Wang family. Pei Yuanjun is obviously virtuous and intelligent, but because of Wang Rong's words, no one dares to come to propose marriage. Even the Pei family is afraid of the power of the Wang family and does not uphold justice for her. At this time, I stepped forward to break this situation. , what will happen?”

"Pei Yuanjun will definitely be loyal to the girl and act accordingly."

Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said: "This is just one of them, and it's just a small part."

She said: "I don't lack loyalty. There are so many people in the world who want to be loyal to me. I can get them at my fingertips. Why do I want Pei Yuanjun's loyalty?"

Tinghe couldn't answer for a while.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Because Pei Yuanjun's identity is of great significance. Once I enable Pei Yuanjun and let her take power by my side, people in the world will know that I, Zhao Hanzhang, am not afraid of the power of the Wang family, or even any power, as long as there are talented people , you can find a reasonable way out from me."

People who were suppressed by the Wang family in the past will choose to join her, and even people who are close to the Wang family will join her because they see her strength.

This is the most important reason why she uses Pei Yuanjun.

So don't say that Pei Yuanjun really has strength, she just doesn't. Zhao Hanzhang also wants to take people out of Pei's house to make her active and give her a brighter future.

Seeing that Ting He still didn't understand, Zhao Hanzhang smiled and said, "Do you know the allusion of 'two kings rule the country, but the sheep has no virtue'?"

Tinghe shook his head.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "The two kings are Wang Yan and Wang Rong, and Yang Gong is the former Juping Hou Yang Hu. Yang Gong is upright and loyal, hates evil as much as enemies, and is not on good terms with Xun Xu and others who were in power at that time, so he is often slandered. Wang Yan I once tried to persuade Yang Gong about this matter, oh, by the way, Wang Yan is Yang Gong’s nephew.”

"Yang Gong didn't take it seriously. He once commented on Wang Yan, saying that if he were to gain a great position based on his fame, he would be ruined by the customs. Looking back today, his assessment was absolutely correct," Zhao Hanzhang said leisurely: "And Wang Rong Well, he participated in the Battle of Xiling and committed a crime. Yang Gong wanted to kill him with military law, but unfortunately he was spared, so Wang Yan and Wang Rong both hated Yang Gong."
