This newly appointed Pingzhou Governor is surnamed Huang, originally a seventh-rank imperial censor.
The position of an imperial censor, although low in rank, wields significant power. Being promoted from a seventh-rank imperial censor to the Governor of a state means ascending several ranks. For Imperial Censor Huang, this is undoubtedly a great stroke of luck, akin to a pie falling from the sky.
For Prime Minister Wang, choosing Imperial Censor Huang to fill this troublesome position was also a decision made after much deliberation. Indeed, with Nanyang County effectively controlling Pingzhou, the role of Pingzhou Governor is a hotbed of trouble. It's obvious that within Pingzhou, the Nanyang County Princess holds sway, and Lu Cong, the Liaoxi County Magistrate, is the de facto Governor of Pingzhou.
