On the other side, Sun Shizi was already slightly sober and reported the incident left and right. He got up suddenly, walked around, and beat his chest: "What can I do?" Whipped Zhou Fujun? ”

The personal Huangmen knew that his own monarch had praised the monarch of the Zhou Mansion, and he also knew that Fan Changshi had illegally removed the monarch of the Zhou Mansion from the post of monarch. If you hit someone, you don't care. Now that the prince is so nervous, it seems that the king is not just a temporary compliment. So he stepped forward and said, "Shizi, why don't you order someone to greet Zhou Fujun on behalf of Shizi?" ”

"I'm afraid that if I go in person, it will be difficult to calm Zhou Fujun's anger. If my father knew that I had beaten Zhou Fujun, what would it be? ”

"Shizi, although Zhou Fujun is favored by Jun, but in the end, Zhou Fujun is a Jin minister, and it is impossible to go to Fuchun to be an official. Besides, he's only a county magistrate......"

Huang Men was kicked to the ground by Sun Shizi when he said this, "Damn slave." Come on, drag it down and fight. In the future, no one will be allowed to insult the countrymen in my house. ”

Another yellow door came to serve him to clean and change clothes. Prepare Langzhong, ten pairs of medicines, and a cart of rice. Go to Zhou's house to apologize.

Get off at the entrance of Downing Street, where Zhou's house is located, and walk to the door of Zhou's house. knocked lightly on the firewood door, and personally presented the big red stickers with both hands to the eldest son of the Zhou family who opened the door - Zhou Heng, who was only five years old.

This street is inhabited by ordinary officials and ordinary families with solid families. Seeing more than a dozen carriages coming, the leader was a handsome man in white, who came out to watch the excitement - could it be that Director Zhou was going to be invited out of the mountain by Zhonglang?

After a while, Zhou Heng was pulled out by the old maid again, and replied in a milky voice: "General Sun, I'm sorry, my father is not at home." My mother said that there was a difference between men and women, and it was inconvenient to entertain the general. Etiquette, etiquette ......" scratching his head, the old maid reminded him in her ear, and then continued: "The etiquette is not good, please forgive the general." ”

"It's Sun, it's not." Say goodbye, "Sun is waiting for Zhou Fujun to come back." Little boy doesn't have to be like this. ”

"Then, that Heng'er is here to ...... General Sun" scratched his head again, "Wait for ...... together" The old maid hurriedly reminded again.

"Heng'er and General Sun are waiting for their father to come back."

So Sun Yu stood up straight and waited here with the etiquette of a junior, completely ignoring that he was seven or eight years older than Zhou Fujun.

After a while, Zhou Fujun and the three of them came back from Lang Zhong in an ox cart. When I arrived at the street entrance, I saw that the street was full of cars, from the street entrance to the door of Zhou's house.

"The son of the world really believes in people." Sima Xin breathed a sigh of relief, "I hope that Gong Engong can forgive the prince for being reckless." ”

"Cong has long been unwilling to complain about General Sun." So he got out of the carriage and said goodbye to the coachman. Walk home.

The two looked at each other from a distance, and one greeted them, and the other arched forward.

"General Sun is polite."

"Zhou Fujun suffered. It's all ministers (humble names for themselves, not representing identity relations) are not. Sun Yu is here to apologize to Zhou Fujun. As he spoke, he bowed and bowed.

Zhou Cong also bowed back, "General Sun doesn't have to be like this, please come in." Heng'er, lead the way. ”

All this, Gongsun Fu and his party turned into civilians and could see it clearly in the crowd.

"Shilang (Gongsun Fu is ranked tenth, but unfortunately the nine cousins have passed away one after another, leaving no descendants) What do you think of this Zhou Fujun?"

"Let's take a look at it again. Gao Yuan, let's take a look elsewhere.

So, go to the county government. Above and fair, as the prince and the prince, and the Zhongshu order, he went to see Tang Taishou as an envoy to Xihaizhou, Shanzhou.

"The Baimao River is silted, what is the plan of Tang Ming Mansion?"

"The humble post has already sent Fan Changshi to deal with this matter." Facing Gongsun Linggong, the Taishou of a county was obviously not enough to see, and the wine had already been scared awake, and a cold sweat made Tang Shizhi want to go out immediately to breathe the air.

"Yilu. The presiding officer shall appoint and dismiss himself. The prefectural magistrate is appointed and dismissed after the approval of the Zhongshu Pavilion official Cao. Zhou Cong, the director of industry and commerce, is the former commander of Chunhua County, Shanzhou, where is he now? ”

It made Tang Shizhi sweat even more, he kept touching the beads of sweat on his face with his sleeve, and he had already scolded Changshi Fan Jun in his heart: "You have made a county order, and you dare to be exempted from the chief appointed by the official Cao?" That's not how you look for death. But he just couldn't speak.

"Biography of Fan Junyan."

"Fan Junyan. Zhou Cong was born in the county order, and he was also the director of industry and commerce appointed by Cao, the official of the Zhongshu Pavilion. You have removed him from his office, but do you have the clerk's paperwork? ”

Fan Junyan took off his hat and came in from outside the door on his knees barefoot, kowtowing and confessing his guilt.

Fan Jun was stern and lawless. Without the permission of the official Cao, he was dismissed from the post of Beijing official without authorization. According to the law, please write the edict of the Son of Heaven. ”

"Gongsun Linggong, don't kill the sergeant lightly! Guilty of lowly duty, sin is not unto death! ”

"According to the law? How can it be said that a sin does not deserve death? How? Are you willing to apologize for your crimes? ”

"Gongsun Linggong, please look at the thin noodles of the clan brother Fan Shi! Please look at the thin noodles of the clan brother Fan Shi! The voice faded away.

"The law is not in anyone's thin face." Gongsun Fu sent an envoy to inspect this time, and Fan Junyan of Xihai County was the biggest official he killed.

"Reinstate Zhou Cong and send him to the county government to report on his work."

As a result, there were three more official-made chariots, and three groups of envoys went to summon Zhou Cong to reinstate.

It also adds luster to Downing Street. Everyone says that Zhou Cong is virtuous, and Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner.

Zhou Cong and Sun Yu came out of Zhou's house, and the two said goodbye to each other. Sun Yu went out into the street to apologize to the people he had whipped and gave them money.

Zhou Cong went to the county government to report on his work.

Gongsun Fu asked Zhou Cong directly: "Jun is the head of industry and commerce, and he has also been successful in Chunhua County before. What are your good plans for the management of the Baimao River this time? ”

"There is no good way to be lowly in office."

"No solution?"

"During the period when the lowly position is the chief of industry and commerce, the lowly duty should be responsible for the affairs of the river. But this time the Baimao River was silted up, Fan Junyan was the county magistrate, and he said that Tang Mingfu handed over this errand to him to personally supervise it, and ordered him to do other jobs well. Therefore, in the past few months, he has not participated in the matter of controlling the river. ”

Gongsun Fu felt that Zhou Cong was a little immature, if Fan Junyan pushed the responsibility to you, would you be able to make it clear? So he asked him weakly: "If it is useless to control the river afterwards, and Fan Junyan puts the responsibility on you, what should you do?" ”

"The lowly post has reported the warrant given by Fan Changshi to the lowly post to the Zhongshu Pavilion Shang Cao and Sikong Mansion."

"That's not too wrong. Now I order you to control the river, hurry up and prepare. Three days later. ”

"You don't have to pay back after three days. The lowly post has traveled all over the Baimao River, and there is already a strategy for governing the river, but unfortunately how to really start to govern the river, the lowly post really has no good strategy. ”

"You. What is the crime of teasing the Chinese book order? ”

"The humble post did not tease Ling Gong. Fan Changshi's warrant was approved by the industrial and commercial Cao and Sikong Mansions, ordering the officials not to meddle in this matter. So the lower officials naturally have no good strategy. In his spare time, he often walked along the Baimao River, asked the old people and craftsmen from all over the world, and naturally had a strategy. It's a pity that the humble position is humble and light, and there is no foundation in this Xihai County, but the troops on paper can't be dispatched on the battlefield. ”

"Okay, in that case, you and my subordinate Pan Youguang, a good talent in governing the river, will discuss this matter as soon as possible. I order the county guard Tang Shizhi and Zhonglang general Sun Yu to assist you. I have to do this errand. I order you to know the history of the county magistrate, so that it will be more convenient for you to run errands. How is it? ”

Zhou Cong looked at this high-ranking and powerful Shoufu Zhongshu Ling, as the descendant of the illegitimate son of the first king, he was naturally the king's right-hand man. The world said that Gongsun Linggong could deter the princes with his momentum alone, so that the rebellious ministers and thieves did not dare to act rashly. Some people also say that Gongsun Linggong is scheming, good at power, and calculating people don't know that they have entered the palace until they die. The world also said that the majestic princes, the leaders of the Marquis of Jianmen and the Marquis of Oxford, saw Gongsun Linggong, and he lowered his eyebrows like a child servant, and he didn't dare to breathe. But why is it that Linggong, the grandson who received him today, is an old man with kind eyebrows and a gentle temperament? It seems that the true face of Juro will never be known to the world.

So why did Lord Gongsun promote himself, a human rights magistrate from a poor family? And did he kill Tingwei Fan Shi's clan brother and then promote himself? Is this to entrap yourself for the use of the public? That's it, in an eventful autumn, when the state is in danger and the world is changing. If you can be an official for one less day, you can do one less day, and if you manage the Baimao River well, you can resign and go into hiding, go home to farm, or find a big family and an errand, Xihai County can't stay.

So I said goodbye and took the job.

The matter was completed, and the Zhongshu ordered Gongsun Fu to return to Beijing and recommended Zhou Cong to the Son of Heaven, saying that Zhou Cong had the material to guard the county, and Tang Shizhi was slack and neglected government affairs, hoping that Zhou Cong would take over as the county guard of Xihai. King Zhao Tianzi said: "Zhou Cong was regarded by Sima Xin and Yinghuang as a benevolent duke and made a county order in Chunhua County. In this case, let's go to Yanmen County, where Chunhua is located, to serve as the chief historian. ”

"Your Majesty, the matter of governing the river has just begun, transfer Zhou Cong to leave, who will govern the river?"

"In addition, Chunhua County was exempted from money and food for one year, and I said that I, who was the Son of Heaven, found that their bengong Zhou Cong was a little late, and I also found that the people of Chunhua County were living a difficult life and were late. Exempt from one-year money and food for my sins. King Zhao did not answer, but was dissatisfied with the people of Chunhua County who regarded Zhou Cong as a benefactor.

"Your Majesty can't do this, right?" Gongsun Fu bowed again, "The state has virtuous ministers, the blessing of the community, and the luck of the people." The people call the county commander Engong, which is to thank the Son of Heaven for giving virtuous ministers to the people. How could you blame the Son of Heaven for discovering that the virtuous minister was late? ”

King Zhao slowly discouraged, but he still didn't want Zhou Cong to stay to govern the river, and wanted to "dispatch" Zhou Cong to Yanmen County, the border pass.

"Your Majesty, talents are rare, and people have been cultivated for a hundred years. I hope that Your Majesty will make proper arrangements, and you will not lose talents. ”

"Talent? A timid person like Zhou Cong is also worthy of being called a talent? Have the courage to write down a strategy for governing the river, but don't have the courage to dispatch a county official to control the river? This kind of talent is just empty talk! ”

"Your Majesty, you must always give him a chance. The minister has already inquired that Zhou Cong is an outcast who was kicked out of his family, and if His Majesty reuses him, Zhou Bo's family will definitely accept Zhou Cong again. When the time comes, with the blessing of his family, Zhou Cong will naturally have no scruples. ”

"Say, why was Zhou Cong removed from the family tree by Uncle Zhou?"

"It seems that he stole his sister-in-law and stole gold."

"Be specific."
