When Lu Qingyun heard Su Tang's words, he bent down to listen. Su Tang continued, "This county has always kept in mind what Mr. Lu asked for before. It's just for being an official. After all, what matters is the official reputation, especially Mr. Lu's. For an official with such a scholarly background, it is more important to be a capable official."
Lu Qingyun is ambitious and wants to climb up, but his starting point is lower than ordinary officials, so getting up is inherently more difficult than those people.
Even if Su Tang wanted to help him, she couldn't just ask him to be promoted. If this were the case, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the right way to go. Lu Qingyun himself should also know these things in his heart.
Now hearing Su Tang say this, Lu Qingyun also nodded, "I know."
"In crisis, there is an opportunity. You have three years to serve as county magistrate, and there are still three years left in your term. Don't be anxious. If something happens, remember that you are the parent official of Qingyuan County. Be a good parent to the people and do your duty well. More importantly than anything else, do you understand what this county means?”
Su Tang is not as anxious as Lu Qingyun. Lu Qingyun himself is capable, but to be honest, his ability is limited. He can do a good job as a local official who governs the people.
But when it came to fighting with the adults in the middle of the capital, Lu Qingyun didn't have the ability. After all, he could say that having a daughter would be a good and free-spirited person. His scholarly background and his own political quality all determined that Lu Qingyun did not become a The potential of central officials.
At present, the situation in Qihuang Kingdom is bound to be chaotic. At this time, Su Tang is also worried that Lu Qingyun will act impulsively again, so he specially informs him.
As a county magistrate and a parent official of the people, he should protect the people and do his duty well. No matter how chaotic the situation is, it will not lead to chaos. It is just a few princes competing for the throne, and it will not lead to the destruction of the country.
There is no way there will be chaos for three years. As long as Lu Qingyun manages his Qingyuan County in an orderly manner during the chaos, that will be his greatest contribution. When the three-year term is up, he will naturally benefit.
The more chaotic the situation, the more important it is to hold on. There are usually opportunities hidden in crises. For Fang Xiaowen, it is the character of a scholar to serve the country. For Lu Qingyun, it is his most basic responsibility as a parent.
Fang Xiaowen was not an official, but he was also keen and had high political literacy, so Su Tang gave him a letter of recommendation and asked him to meet Pei Xuan, because he would have the opportunity to help when he arrived in the capital.
As for Lu Qingyun, the best help and the most stable thing for him now is to be a good county magistrate.
What Su Tang wanted to say to Lu Qingyun before leaving was to tell him not to be anxious and to be steady and positive, because once chaos breaks out, people's hearts can easily be shaken.
But his official position is too small, and the opportunities he can seize may actually become a reminder. Local officials are the foundation of the country's official system, and they are indispensable no matter who becomes the emperor.
Be yourself, and as long as he is stable, opportunities will naturally be given to him. On the contrary, the more tricky he is, the more likely it is that something will happen.
And Su Tang also saw that he was actually a little distracted, otherwise after catching the spy, he would not want to tell her, or even want to dedicate it to the prince and help the prince.
If you think too simplistically and go beyond your responsibilities and controllable lines, you can easily overturn.
Su Tang is now telling Lu Qingyun that he cannot float and must be steady. If he is steady, he can win.
When Lu Qingyun heard Su Tang explain himself in this way, he was also shocked. He knew that Su Tang also saw the problem with his mentality, and then bowed deeply to Su Tang and saluted, "Thank you, Princess, for your guidance!"
