In fact, Zhong Yan was a little unwilling to let Pei Qing go to Yingchuan to take charge, because as the order in Yingchuan was settled, their family could not control the market and gain benefits.

But now all the major families in Changshe County have agreed. If only he is resisting, then after Pei Qing takes office, their family will definitely be suppressed.

Although his brother was close attendant of the emperor, Pei Qing was the prefect of two thousand stones, and his status was much higher. In addition, Pei Qing also had the army in his hands, which belonged to a warlord. If the other party really attacked their family, even Zhong Yao would have no choice.

So in this case, Zhong Yan could only compromise and at the same time contacted the families of Yingchuan counties, such as the Xun family in Yingyin, the Yu family in Yanling, the Kang family, the Chen family in Xu County, the Xu family and the Fan family in Yangzhai, etc.

Some of these families also resist Pei Qing's entry, such as Guo Jia from Yangdi and Xun's children from Yingyin, but they cannot change the overall situation after all, and they cannot guarantee the safety of Yingchuan. In this case, Guo Jia and Xun's children secretly left Yingchuan and went to Hebei to join Yuan Shao.

Although there is no support from Xun, one of the most influential families, in Yingchuan, this does not affect Pei Qing's entry into Yingchuan, because the major families are also worried about their safety. In fact, the problem of bandits has been basically solved now, but everyone is afraid of Dong Zhuo's cruelty, especially Dong Zhuo has been sending troops to plunder Yingchuan in the past two years, which has made them deeply worried. So after discussion, unanimous decision to invite Pei Qing into Yingchuan to take charge.

So one day a few days later, on the 27th day of the 12th lunar month, the gentry from various counties in Yingchuan gathered together in the Changshe, and took a carriage to the foot of Woniu Mountain under the guidance of Tang De. Then they hiked to the Woniu Mountain Village together, asking Pei Qing to take charge of Yingchuan and temporarily take the position of Yingchuan prefect.

Although Pei Qing was willing to do this in his heart, he also refused on the surface: "Thank you for your kindness, but Qing may disappoint you. After all, I am the prefect of Nanyang appointed by the court, so I naturally have to take office in Nanyang. How can I stay in Yingchuan instead? If I follow up on it, wouldn't I be ungrateful?"

Since Tang De came here on order, he naturally knew Pei Qing's intentions, so he spoke, "I am so bad. Although I am the prefect of Nanyang, I am also a minister of the emperor. Since I am a minister of the emperor, I should share my worries with the emperor. As I am today, I am not Nanyang, but Yingchuan. This place has been through war for a long time and the people are trapped in dire straits. I hope that wise officials will lead them to resist strong enemies and stabilize their production. If there is a severe drought, they will be the emperor's people.

As the minister of the emperor, how can we not share the worries for the emperor? Besides, Nanyang is now stolen by the Later General Yuan Shu. This person has many soldiers and generals, and is rich in food and grass. It is not urgent to take back. Yingchuan is only a short distance from Nanyang. The envoy can temporarily garrison Yingchuan. On the one hand, it is to stabilize the people and train troops. On the other hand, it is to negotiate with the Later General to take back Nanyang. Isn’t it beautiful? Why do you want to reject our kindness and lose the opportunity to share the worries for the emperor?”

Tang De's words made Pei Qing very satisfied. He had to say that this statement was very appropriate. It not only avoided the embarrassment of Pei Qing's possession of counties, but also represented the intention of Yingchuan gentry to retain it. It also reminded everyone that Pei Qing did not give up taking back Nanyang, but only for the sake of Yingchuan people to temporarily aggrieved themselves and showed his broad mind.

Even Zhong Yan and others are now very shocked by Tang De's performance. In their original cognition, Tang De was just a half-baked literati who liked to collect poetry and prose, and his level of knowledge was at most equivalent to his primary school level of studying for a few years (the primary school here refers to primary school, that is, literacy, writing and feudal moral education). However, now the other party's ability to think and speak makes them look at each other with admiration, and even awe-inspiring, because even Fan Qin, who is the most knowledgeable among them, may not be able to say such appropriate words.

"Tang De has made rapid progress. It is no exaggeration to say that he is a thousand miles a day. His speaking skills are really high, especially his mind. He is a sour literati who is obsessed with poetry and lacks talent. But now, he has long become the best among people. This is really curious. What happened to him? There has been such a big change!"

"I have heard that Tang De is just a sour scholar who likes to collect poetry and prose. But now I understand that what I hear about may not be true. Tang De is really not simple. It seems that the previous rumors were either maliciously slandered by someone, or this person deliberately hid his weakness."

......

The Yingchuan gentry present had their own thoughts, but they all re-recognized Tang De and never dared to look down on him anymore. At the same time, they were even more expectant about Pei Qing, because how could a person like Tang De be a simple person?

And just then, Zhong Yan saw a familiar figure and shouted in disbelief: "Pei, Master Pei, Mr. Wenxing, is that you? Why are you here?"

Zhong Yan had visited his brother Zhong Yao in Chang'an before. He had met Pei Qian among them. He knew that he was the son of the Shangshu Ling of the dynasty. He was shocked and asked.

Pei Qian smiled faintly, then bowed and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Zhong. I am sorry for being stupid and unable to recognize you. The reason why I stayed here is of course because I was ordered by my father to help Pei Jun. To be honest, he is the best person in the younger generation of the Pei family in Hedong. My father naturally needs to focus on cultivating him and hopes that he can make greater contributions to the court."

Zhong Yan was originally a little reluctant to Pei Qing's rule in Yingchuan, because he was relied on the status of the Zhong family in Yingchuan, and looked down on a young man like Pei Qing, who came from a poor family. However, he did not expect that the other party was the leader of the young generation of the Pei family in Hedong, and a person that Pei Mao was striving to cultivate during the dynasty. The reluctance and contempt in his heart disappeared completely and said seriously: "Even Pei Shangshu Ling values ​​Pei Envoy so much, what's the villain? From now on, my Xu County Zhong family will definitely follow the leader of the envoy."

After hearing what Zhong Yan said, the other gentry realized Pei Qian's identity and the importance of Pei Qing. They all respectfully announced their loyalty to Pei Qing, and at the same time they sincerely invited Pei Qing to Yingchuan to take charge.
