Chapter 432

The administrative affairs of the Ministry of War could not stump him at all.

It was not just because he had three capable assistants.

His own standard was actually extremely high as well.

After all, with Lu Bu-level literary talent, combined with modern knowledge and the like.

Jia Hui was able to handle things with ease.

Himself + three top-tier civil officials.

Could easily finish the official business in just half an hour.

For the remaining time.

He was in no rush to leave work.

Jia Hui simply chose to read the newspaper.

He sat on a folding chair in one of the studies assigned to him.

The front legs of the folding chair crossed to the back and then slanted upward to form a backrest; its design was much more imposing than before.

Generals often sat on folding chairs when setting up camp during military operations to display their status. Over time, the folding chair became a symbol of power, and "sitting in the first folding chair" is often used to refer to becoming a leader.

After reading for a while.

Jia Hui himself expressed great satisfaction: "Cai Yong, Cheng Yu, Jiang Ji, and Chen Gong's writing is truly beyond reproach; they praised me as if I were peerless in heaven and on earth, making even me feel a bit embarrassed."

【311】 The family of Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Xun Bai Shui; Brother, who is more powerful, your master Meng Zhi or Jia Hui?

He gave a chuckle.

As for the matters concerning the Gu family and the Yuan family.

Naturally, it was all revealed by Jia Hui.

He was the greatest mastermind behind the scenes, the editor-in-chief!

It was just that he only took charge of dictating.

And let Cai Yong and the others act as ghostwriters.

"Don't blame anyone but yourselves for chasing the fire like pond fish—you are courting death!"

"Setting yourselves against me, Jia Hui, is like a fool eating arsenic—stupid to the point of death!"

He gave a cold smile.

Not to mention anything else.

Gu Tingye was the one from the original work and Minglan's, so he definitely had to bring him down.

Competing with me for a woman?

You're doomed!

"Just wear your hat and identity as a cuckolded loser and live your life in loneliness forever... Minglan is mine, and I will cherish her for you every single day!"

A wicked smile curled the corners of his mouth.

"My Lord, the report from the memorial office says that Shiyi Niang has gone to the Yongping Marquis's residence."

"There is also an urgent message: the Gu residence has sent people to the Jingzhao Prefecture to arrest those who smashed up our newspaper office."

Jiang Ji, who was in charge of the memorial office and the intelligence work regarding the dignitaries of the Western Office, appeared in a hurry.

Upon hearing these two pieces of news.

Jia Hui frowned: "Shiyi Niang was called to the Yongping Marquis's residence so quickly?"

He made a mental note of it.

It seemed he would have to speed things up.

He would go to the Luo family tomorrow without delay!

Such a good girl.

It would be a waste to give her to Xu Lingyi.

Only he himself deserved to enjoy such a good girl.

However, there was no rush at this moment.

There were more important things that needed to be handled.

Hearing Jiang Ji's subsequent words.

Looking at Jiang Ji before him, Jia Hui did not show the slightest panic.

"It is within my expectations."

"The Jingzhao Prefecture, you say?"

"Who is the current Governor of Jingzhao Prefecture?"

"The Jingzhao Prefecture Governor is named Xun Bai Shui!"

"Xun Bai Shui."

Jia Hui muttered the name to himself once.

In his memory, this was the Chief Minister during the period of "Nirvana in Fire: The Wind Blows in Changlin," the Empress's brother, and his nephew was the Commander of the Imperial Guard, Xun Feizhan.

However, the storyline of "The Wind Blows in Changlin" was many years away.

So that Empress was definitely not the current one.

Xun Feizhan had not yet become the Commander.

Therefore, the current Xun Bai Shui was only an associate third-rank Governor of Jingzhao Prefecture.

As for Jia Yucun.

He was still serving as the Prefect of Yingtian Prefecture in Jin Ling Province.

Jia Yucun would only arrive in the capital to serve as the Governor of Jingzhao Prefecture after Lin Daiyu arrived in the capital.

And after the Xue family also arrived in the capital.

But it was estimated to be a matter of only a few months.

Which meant to say.

This Xun Bai Shui.

Under normal circumstances, still had a few months left in his term.

Jia Hui emphasized: "This Xun Bai Shui is not simple; he is someone with the ability to become the Chief Minister of the Cabinet."

Jia Hui carefully recalled the man's life and was surprised to find that Xun Bai Shui was truly a very successful person.

In terms of personality, he was neither as meticulous and thorough as Xiao Qinyan and Xiao Pingzhang, nor did he spend his life fighting on the battlefield like Xiao Tingsheng, acting openly and honestly without ever deigning to scheme behind people's backs, and he was even less like Xiao Yuanqi, who was constantly calculating behind the scenes.

In terms of conduct, he was neither as ruthless as Pu Yangying nor as kind and honest as the Emperor; he had his own principles of conduct and his own bottom line.

As long as it was above this bottom line of his, he could act as he pleased, but he would never touch his bottom line.

Such a Xun Bai Shui, when calculating against others, was every bit a villain, making people hate him to the core.

But when he stood up for righteousness, he absolutely commanded Jia Hui's respect.

When the plague spread in Jin Ling City, Xun Bai Shui, as the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, decisively took responsibility and, for the sake of the nation, had the boldness to adopt the measure of sealing the city.

The couple had been married for many years without any children, yet he was able to take his nephew and niece into his residence to raise them, treating them like his own children, and lived in harmony with his wife.

Therefore, in Jia Hui's heart, although this man had done many things that were shameful, when facing national interests and his own bottom line, he was able to firmly guard his heart!

For this point alone.

He was remarkable and a person worthy of respect.

His words immediately made Jiang Ji alert.

"Then, My Lord, shall we meet with the other party now?"

"Go, of course we must go."

"Not to mention that he is not the Chief Minister right now, but merely an associate third-rank civil official; neither his civil nor military rank is as high as mine. Even if he were the Chief Minister, there is no reason for me to fear him!"

"It just so happens that I will meet him this time."

At this moment, at the Jingzhao Prefecture.
