But now it is a bitterly cold land in the northwest, and there are so many bandits, it is a very chaotic place.

How can this be called enjoyment?

It's simply suffering!

Wang Shiwen returned home angrily and went straight to the study.

Old Mr. Wang was in the study, reading a Northwest Geography book that recorded Qingshui County.

He received the news earlier than his son Wang Shiwen. Although he was worried about his son, he also knew that this was an order issued by His Majesty himself and could not be changed.

My son Wang Shiwen must go to Qingshui County, he has to go.

It took so many resources to help my son get through this difficult time.

I originally wanted to send my son to a small place in Jiangnan. Although it is a bit remote, it is Jiangnan after all.

But now, a lot of money has been spent, and not only can the son not go to Jiangnan, but he has been assigned to the Northwest.

If it was somewhere else in the Northwest, it would be fine, but that was Qingshui County in the Northwest!

Poor mountains and bad waters give rise to unruly people, this is the true portrayal of this place.

Everyone in the nation is a bandit. This must be a very chaotic place to have such a situation.

"Father, you must save me! The Northwest is too cold, windy and dusty. It's hard to eat or wear! I'm your only son, so you don't want me to suffer there, do you?"

Elder Wang raised his eyes from the book and looked at his son. "This transfer order was issued by His Majesty himself. You and I cannot change it! What you need to do now is how to keep it secret in the northwest and how to make meritorious service."

Wang Shiwen frowned when he heard this and shook his head. "In that place, I was lucky to survive, and I also made a contribution? Father, did His Majesty know about our deal with the Yuan family, so he sent me there? By the way, I heard that Yuan Zhen was also exiled to Qingshui County?"

Hearing this, Elder Wang looked at Wang Shiwen with some disappointment, "Then do you know who the magistrate of Qingshui County is?"

Wang Shiwen was stunned, "I don't know that!"

"It's Zhou Jin!" Elder Wang replied, "If it's a punishment, then the bad things you and Yuan Zhen did before are indeed understandable."

"But what about Zhou Jin? He has never made a mistake and is a role model for the younger generation in Beijing. Your Highness can punish anyone, but not Zhou Jin."

"Marquis Changning is now the Minister of Rites. Your Majesty is very sober now. Do you think he would be so foolish as to send the son of an important official to his death? You only saw Yuan Zhen being exiled to Qingshui County. Did you see who the prefect of Yunzhou was?"

"It's Yuan De, Yuan Zhen's second brother. You should know who is the commander-in-chief of Yunzhou's military forces? His name is Sun Yi, and he is one of the direct disciples of the old Marquis of Changning."

"Look at the north of Qingshui County, it's Qinglan County, Yu Chengzhi is Zhou Jin's good friend. Look at the south of Qingshui County, that's your Majesty's confidant Pang Chen. With this configuration, do you still think Qingshui County is a tough nut to crack?"

After hearing what his father said, Wang Shiwen took a breath and said, "Oh, by the way, I still remember that the garrison commander of Qingshui County was Xie Jin, Zhou Jin's brother-in-law, and they had a good relationship. Yuan Zhen, and Zhou Jin, can't be said to be good, but they are definitely not bad either."

Old Master Wang nodded. "The old fox of the Yuan family will certainly understand what your majesty means. When the time comes, he will definitely tell Yuan Zhen to follow Zhou Jin. Qingshui County is difficult to govern, but someone must go."

"Since you are going, you must succeed. This is your majesty sending credit to Zhou Jin. It may seem dangerous, but it is actually a great opportunity. If you are still rash, don't blame me for beating you."

"You are lucky enough to go there now. Just be humble, don't go against Zhou Jin, and don't commit crimes. You will definitely have a share of the credit for governing Qingshui County well this time."

"If you can't even seize such a good opportunity, I can only say that you will accomplish nothing in your life. Son, be more careful. I look okay now, but in fact, I can't do it alone. If you can't stand up, our Wang family will have no successor."

"If you don't have talent, even if the Pei family has resources, they won't waste them on incompetent people. If you can make merit through this and let the Pei family see your ability, they will definitely continue to support you."

"By then, both the Wang family and the Pei family will support you, and you will surely become a role model for the younger generation. As for the ridiculous things that happened in the past, they are all in the past. Who will mention them again?"

Wang Shiwen was deeply shocked after listening to his father's heartfelt words.

Although it's hard there, you can achieve great things.

Wang Shiwen is also a proud person. Now he is left behind by his classmates and he feels very uncomfortable.

When he went out to drink, Wang Shiwen always felt that others were looking at him with teasing eyes, and he had been feeling uncomfortable for a long time.

Although he was jealous of Zhou Jin, after all these things, Wang Shiwen gradually realized the gap and would not be provoked by Zhou Jin to lose his mind.

"Father, I understand. I will go to Qingshui County in the northwest and try to make a difference."

Old Master Wang reminded, "Son, I know you are not convinced by Zhou Jin, but Zhou Jin's luck is better than yours now. Now Zhou Jin is the main one and you are the secondary one, but after all, it is in the bureau and in the eyes of His Majesty."

"Don't act on impulse with Zhou Jin. Be patient if you can. Impatience can ruin your plans. Read more about Qingshui County. When you get there, you'll have a clear idea."

Wang Shiwen nodded, "Dad, I understand. This time, I will definitely suppress my jealousy, work hard, and strive to make achievements."

But there are some things that are easy to say but difficult to do.

It is difficult to change one's nature, and Wang Shiwen could not suppress his jealousy.

However, in order to make a contribution, Wang Shiwen is also actively preparing.

When Xie Jin, who was in mourning, received the transfer order, he could hardly suppress his smile.

He knew that he had made a contribution this time, but he did not expect that the emperor would remember him and assign him a new assignment.

The garrison commander of Qingshui County was also of the fifth rank and had not been demoted.

He had been thinking about leaving the North before, and now his wish finally came true.

At first Xie Jin didn't understand, but after inquiring about all the appointments, Xie Jin knew that this was a good job.

At this moment, Gu Xirong was in a daze.

She was not surprised that Xie Jin was sent to the northwest.

This was how it was in the previous life.

Qingshui County is where Xie Jin made his fortune.

She didn't expect that Zhou Jin was also sent to Qingshui County.

With Zhou Jin around, how could Xie Jin rebel?

Without rebellion, it is impossible to become regent.

Xie Jin came in and asked, "Madam, what are you thinking about?"

Gu Xirong smiled and said, "I was thinking that Qingshui County is so chaotic. Is it dangerous for us to go there this time?"

After hearing this, Xie Jin explained to Gu Xirong, "Madam, you worry too much. Qingshui County may seem dangerous, but His Majesty has made many arrangements... Zhou Jin will be successful this time. As long as we cooperate with Zhou Jin to take over Qingshui County and govern it well, we will have made contributions."

Hearing this, Gu Xirong was shocked.

She thought of this time in her previous life, when Emperor Kangping was ill and had been poisoned and assassinated. His control over the court was greatly reduced, and the court was quite turbulent.

Under this situation, Qingshui County was in crisis and turmoil. Finally, Xie Jin integrated the military forces of Qingshui County and the Northwest and continued to expand.

But now?

Prince Ning rebelled and was executed.

Prince Yun, the Queen Mother, and the remnants of the Red Lotus were executed.

The northern border had won a great victory, and Kangguo and Beirong were now on friendly terms, not caught up in the chaos of war.

The most important thing is that your majesty and the prince are both fine, nothing wrong at all.

This time when he goes to the northwest, Xie Jin is only a fifth-rank garrison commander. Will it be the same as in his previous life?
