In the process of speaking, Shen Qingjun emphasized the words 'the family's crimes are written', just to remind Zhao Jie.

Although both of the things Zhao Jie presented to her were too dangerous and could lead to death if she was not careful, they came here to offer her treasures at least. There is no precedent in the world for a person being sinned for offering treasures...

Therefore, even if Shen Qingjun is angry, she still has to find a way to resolve the matter, and she must also accept Zhao Jie.

Hearing Shen Qingjun's aggravated words, Zhao Jie felt as if he had found a great treasure and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, your lord is wise. I am here to report the family's conspiracy to rebel. Your lord retreated to protect me!"

After finishing speaking, he bowed to Shen Qingjun as if it was serious: "Thank you, Lord, for protecting me!" It seemed that he also understood Shen Qingjun's good intentions.

Seeing this, Shen Qingjun nodded in his heart, not being too stupid, and spared his courtesy, "Okay, get up, what are you kneeling for? Although your behavior of reporting a high-ranking official in public is inappropriate, you are loyal to the court. My heart, my heart to serve His Majesty is commendable."

This is the final conclusion.

Afterwards, the two of them exchanged polite words and completely finalized the matter.

"Since you have worshiped me as your lord, and you have done a good job of exposing and reporting the traitor Zhang's son...you will be rewarded for your merits, how about appointing you as the chief clerk of my house?"

After beating the person, Shen Qingjun also gave Zhao Jie a sweet date to calm his heart, relax him, and give him kindness and power at the same time. This is the way to rule.

Sure enough, when he heard Shen Qingjun appointed him, Zhao Jie was excited again and immediately accepted the order. He knew what it meant to be the chief clerk of the mansion.

Although the official system of the Wei Dynasty, the chief clerk did not have a specific official rank. He only existed as a permanent subordinate to the chief officials at all levels. He usually only did small things such as taking charge of the books and seals of documents...

But in the minister's house where the army is in charge and the government is established, the registrar is often involved in confidential matters and the affairs of the consul general's office... Therefore, although the position of the registrar is not high, it has great weight...

There is a saying: "Thirty years of reading poetry books is not as good as studying a master's book.".

And among Shen Qingjun's staff at this time, in the ranking of civilian officials, Gao Ling should be ranked first as a marching staff officer, Fang Jiwei should be ranked second as a marching officer, and Zhao Jie may be the third person to be awarded the title of marching chief at this moment...

In fact, Shen Qingjun had a calculated intention to grant Zhao Jie the position of chief bookkeeper, in order to completely tie Zhao Jie to his own ship and put his own brand on it.

Because although the loyalty value of retainers is generally very high, in the long history, there are always one or two examples of betrayal by retainers, but most of these betrayers are marginalized people, and there have never been examples of betrayal by close retainers.

Not only because their interests are highly tied to the interests of their lord, but also because even if they betray, they will not gain the trust of the new master, and will even be disliked and guarded against by the new master... Their future will be ruined, and their lives may even be at risk!

"You can betray the old master, how can you know that you won't betray my new master?" The new master doesn't need to find any reason to kill the traitor!

Now Shen Qingjun appoints Zhao Jie as chief clerk and elevates him to the position of his third civil servant, even if it is only in name. Zhao Jie still has a long way to go before he can become Shen Qingjun's real third civil servant...

But in the eyes of the world, the moment he took office as the chief registrar, he was Shen Qingjun's confidant.

No master likes someone who betrays his master. It is precisely because of the situation in the world that Shen Qingjun dares to keep Zhao Jie, because in the future, even if Zhao Jie has different intentions and aspirations, he will never dare to betray him.

"I accept the order and thank you, my lord." Zhao Jie paid homage again.

"I wonder if you have a character?" After being appointed, Shen Qingjun naturally wanted to ask Zhao Jie for his character. She thought that Zhao Jie was in a younger grade and might not have a character.

<divclass="contentadv">Since we want to completely bind Zhao Jie, we must do it to the extreme, and word picking is also a higher binding method...

"Thank you, my lord, for asking me. My grandfather has chosen the name for the boy, Xing Xing." Zhao Jie is 16 years old this year, and naturally he is not old enough to be crowned with the title. However, his grandfather specially gave him the name before the Zhao family took action.

'I see! When Shen Qingjun heard the word "prosperity" and related the background of the Zhao family, he knew the meaning of the word... This means hoping that the family will prosper!

She originally thought that if there was no word, she would also give Zhao Jie a word. She had already thought about it and called it "Shen Xing", but her grandfather had already chosen the word one step earlier, so naturally she would not be too troublesome, and whether to choose the word or not The impact is also minimal.

"Xingsheng is lonely living alone outside. Now that you have worshiped me as your lord, for the convenience of doing things in the future, how about you move to my governor's mansion to live with other retainers?"

"It's my wish, but I don't dare to ask for help!" Faced with Shen Qingjun's request, Zhao Jie simply agreed. After worshiping the lord, he would live next to the lord for easy questioning. This is what he should do.

After saying this, Shen Qingjun looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late today, so I'll keep Xing Sheng's food in the house."

"Thank you, lord!" Zhao Jie was excited again. The lord gave food and retainers to him. This was a sign that he was valued by Shen Qingjun.

The side hall was crowded at the moment. It was said to be feeding, but it was more like a retainer's banquet at this moment, because not only Zhao Jie was staying for Shen Qingjun's dinner, but also Gao Lingying, Fang Jiwei, Murong Wugong, Dianwen, etc. were also present...

Before the banquet started, Shen Qingjun led Zhao Jie to the center, specially introduced Zhao Jie to other retainers, and talked about her appointment of Zhao Jie and stood up for him. All these things earned Zhao Jie a burst of gratitude.

Drinking and drinking, talking and laughing...

After dinner, it was already dark, and the small back hall of the Governor's Mansion was brightly lit. This was where Shen Qingjun usually handled government affairs. Gao Lingying walked in.

After Shen Qingjun washed up, he changed into a pair of light green grass-patterned clothes. His wrung long hair was tied up with a hosta. He held a cup of hot soup, took a sip and put it down. Then he picked up the pamphlet presented by Zhao Jie and read it.

"I pay homage to my lord."

Hearing Gao Lingying's voice, he put down the pamphlet in his hand, looked at Gao Lingying, and asked, "Have you arranged Zhao Jie's residence properly? Have you found the person to serve him?"

"Don't worry, my lord. According to my lord's instructions, the courtyard has been selected as close to the inner courtyard as possible, and the servants have been selected as loyal and shrewd people. Everything has been arranged."

Gao Ling answered respectfully. After speaking, he looked at the things Shen Qingjun put on the table and asked softly:

"My lord, this is the prescription that Zhao Jie gave to my lord?" Gao Lingying asked with a smile.

Of course he knew that the pamphlet that could make Shen Qingjun reject them was definitely not the "prescription" that Zhao Jie told them to give to their lord during his late career.

And he also knew that Shen Qingjun's sudden appointment of a new retainer as chief keeper must have deep meaning, but as Shen Qingjun's first retainer, it didn't hurt for him to make fun of Shen Qingjun occasionally.

Yes, the news that Shen Qingjun revealed to the public during dinner was that the pamphlet that Zhao Jie presented to her was a prescription. After all, the "truth" that Zhao Jie "reported on the family" could not be told openly...
