Du Chuke's residence is also in Yongxingfang, not far from Du's house. Du Chuke is now also working in the Prince Qin's Mansion, plus he has outstanding talents and knowledge, and he has Du Ruhui as his elder brother, so Du Chuke is like a duck to water in the Prince Qin Mansion, very comfortable.
In the early years, Du Chuke was under Wang Shichong's command and worked under Wang Shichong's command. Du Chuke, like Du Ruhui's uncle Du Yan, also served under Wang Shichong.
Not only that, Du Yan served as Minister of Rites of Zheng Guo established by Wang Shichong.
Du Yan and Du Ruhui had a grudge, and Du Yan used means to imprison Du Chuke in order to take revenge on Du Ruhui. It was not until Wang Shichong was defeated that Du Chuke saw the light of day again.
At that time, Du Yan had already been imprisoned.
It stands to reason that Du Yan treated Du Chuke like this, and he was also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of Zheng State. It is extremely normal to execute Du Yan. But Du Chuke is a person who hopes for family harmony. Even though Du Yan abused him, Du Chuke repaid his grievances with kindness and urged Du Ruhui, hoping that Du Yan would be released and that his family would not kill each other.
In the end, Du Ruhui interceded in front of Li Shimin, and Du Yan escaped.
Even so, the relationship between Du Ruhui and Du Yan is still not good.
Instead, Du Chuke respected Du Yan.
Du Chuke's disposition is to value family affection. In the final analysis, family affection is taken too seriously. Even though Du Yan treated him like this, Du Chuke still repaid his grievances with kindness.
However, in dealing with things, Du Chuke is fair and just, and quite capable.
On this day, Du Chuke went back to the mansion early after finishing his work after he was ordered to rest in the mansion.
After all, it's cold.
Going out is uncomfortable, but staying at home is comfortable.
It's just that when Du Chuke was reading at home, a transfer order from the court came and transferred him to the post of Chang'an county magistrate. Even the corresponding robes and seals have all been delivered, allowing him to take office immediately.
Du Chuke was puzzled.
Why did he suddenly become the county magistrate of Chang'an? Du Chuke asked the person who came to deliver the order. But the person who came to pass the order didn't know, he just let him take office.
Du Chuke couldn't ask the reason, let alone be sure.
The reason is very simple, he is only a subordinate official in Qin Wangfu. Although he is like a fish in water, he has no identity. But the magistrate of Chang'an County is different. This is an official position with real power, and it is an extremely important official position.
Why did he, Du Chuke, get it?
Du Chuke didn't have anything else, but he still had some self-knowledge. Especially when it came to such an important official position, Du Chuke was worried, so he immediately changed his clothes, put on a big cloak, and left the mansion to go to Du's house.
He is going to see Du Ruhui.
When he went home in the morning, he also knew that Du Ruhui was at home today. When Du Chuke arrived at Du's house, he went straight to the study, saw Du Ruhui, and told him about being appointed as the county magistrate of Chang'an by the imperial order.
Du Chuke finally said: "Brother, the imperial court's order is very good. The problem is, this matter is a bit weird. I haven't made any achievements, so I shouldn't be rewarded like this! Even if Erlang, a kid, has made meritorious service for the imperial court, he can't do it." It shouldn't be, I am highly valued by His Majesty."
Du Chuke highly appreciated Du Qi's performance.
Du Ruhui said: "I don't know about this matter for the time being. After all, when it comes to Chang'an County Magistrate, Qin Palace has never recommended someone. Unexpectedly, Qin Palace has no recommender, but His Majesty has arranged for you to be Chang'an County Magistrate."
"Whether this matter is related to Erlang is temporarily unknown. But in my opinion, what you have to do now is to take office as soon as possible and take over the current post of Chang'an County Magistrate. This is the most important thing."
Du Ruhui said: "No matter how you got into this official position, the most important thing is to do your job well."
Du Chuke said: "What brother said is true."
With Du Ruhui's suggestion, Du Chuke didn't stay long. After leaving Du's house, he returned to his residence, changed into the official uniform, took the seal and ribbon given by the imperial court, and went to the county government.
Du Chuke has just arrived, and a new official has taken office.
As soon as he became the county magistrate, he also prepared three fires for the new official to take office. It's just that his first fire didn't even ignite, so he encountered a situation. After the deaths of Xie Zhizhou and Xie Mu, the underground forces in the Beicheng area were no longer under control.
All of a sudden it became a mess.
During the day, Chang'an North City is fine, after all, no one dares to come out in broad daylight to make trouble. If you come out at this time, you are looking for death, which is tantamount to openly confronting the government.
At night, even after the curfew, there are still many fights in the dark places, so that many people were killed and injured in a short period of time, but the governmentThere is no one situation.
In a chaotic battle, it is difficult to determine the situation.
Even if Du Chuke tracked down the clues and found out the situation, someone will take the blame, and the situation has not changed. The local chaos has also not been resolved.
Du Chuke was devastated by this simple matter. Because he still can't cure the root cause and the existing problems.
Furthermore, especially in this county government, there are still some people who are obedient to others.
There is some resistance to Du Chuke.
Even though the officials who belonged to the Qin Palace obeyed Du Chuke, there were still many others who were unwilling to obey orders, which caused Du Chuke's constraints internally.
In short, Du Chuke had a hard time.
In addition to these, because Chang'an is at the foot of the emperor, countless dignitaries gathered here.
Many dignitaries committed crimes. Once these dignitaries were dealt with, for Du Chuke, it would be like poking a hornet's nest. In particular, some people belong to the lineage of Prince Qin's Mansion. And Du Chuke himself belonged to the lineage of Prince Qin's family, so he was even more difficult to deal with.
Even though Du Chuke was quite capable, he was caught in the Chang'an county government office and didn't know what to do for a while. After two consecutive days of busy work, Du Chuke was exhausted physically and mentally, and it was very difficult.
That night, he returned home.
Already extremely tired.
It's just that he still has a lot of things to deal with, so he is still in the study. It's just that the more Du Chuke handles things, the more tired he becomes, feeling powerless.
Du Chuke felt that there were too many and complicated things, and many, many things were difficult to handle properly. Because the official position of Chang'an county magistrate, although it is only a county magistrate, the problem of Chang'an is under the feet of the emperor.
Du Chuke was exhausted and didn't have the mind to deal with things, so he simply threw the pen and sat down.
"what to do?"
In Du Chuke's heart, he retreated a little.
It's really hard to do.
At this moment, Du Chuke's wife entered. The weather is cold now, and the weather at night is even biting, so at night, Du Chuke's wife, Mrs. Yang, stewed chicken soup and entered.
Seeing Du Chuke's appearance, Yang felt even more distressed, and said, "Husband, is the post of county magistrate so difficult?"
Du Chuke said: "Of course, the position of magistrate of Chang'an County is far more complicated than that of the governor of a state. Because there are too many dignitaries and personnel involved."
Yang said: "Your husband is bothering you."
Du Chuke sighed, took a sip of the chicken soup. Yang's cooking skills are also good, this chicken soup is extremely delicious, after a mouthful of hot soup, Du Chuke feels much better.
Yang suddenly said: "Husband, since it's so difficult, why don't you discuss it with Erlang? He is young and can become a fifth-rank Jianguo County man, especially from what my husband said, your official position may be influenced by Erlang. .Since that¡¯s the case, it¡¯s okay to take a trip. What if Erlang has a solution?¡±
Du Chuke's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he said: "Ma'am, what you said is true, alas, during this time as a husband, I have been so busy that I have lost my head, and I am a bit careless and stupid. In my Du family, there is a thousand-mile horse. , I should ask Qian Liju. Madam's suggestion made me suddenly understand. This is the best solution now."
When Yang heard this, she laughed. It would be the best if she could help her husband.
Du Chuke is an extremely agile person.
As soon as he got Yang's instructions, he quickly changed into his robes, put on a big cloak, and went out to the Du's house not far away. Although it's getting late now, it's not late at night, and Du Qi hasn't rested yet.
When Du Chuke came to visit, Du Qi met Du Chuke in the room.
Anyway, Du Chuke is his uncle in name.
Du Qi has done enough etiquette.
After the host and guest were seated, Du Qi said: "Uncle came to see me at night, I don't know what's the matter?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
