Xiao Hanzheng was not surprised by what Prince Yi said.
"Your Royal Highness should have given him a push as well, right?" he said with a smile.
Liang Yulin chuckled. "Prince Jin's people suggested that you go directly to the Northern City to be the prefect. Firstly, they wanted to test the imperial brother's attitude. Secondly, they wanted to draw hatred for you.
"As expected, many people are against it. They say that your promotion speed is too exaggerated. It's improper at all for one to go from the seventh-rank to the fourth-rank."
"So I gave it a push," he continued. "I stood up and said that it's a waste of talent to put you in a small county like Heyang County. The northern border is lacking talents like you to run it.
"If your position is too low, it will limit your development and make it difficult for you to execute many government decrees.
