Shi Bufan finally sent this princess Li Lizhen back to the palace before dark, it is impossible for Shi Bufan to stay outside the princess, otherwise it will be a big scandal. What's more, Li Shimin is so relieved that his daughter is staying outside, even if he is not worried about Shi Bufan, but he has to worry about others! No father would be willing to have his own daughter and his daughter stay overnight at such a young age. No matter how many guards and bodyguards there are, this is a father's love for his children, any father has this idea, whether he is an emperor, a nobleman, or an ordinary poor person, the love of parents for their children is inevitable.

One night passed, and Shi Bufan came to the Wannian County Ya according to the usual practice, preparing for a routine work. Originally, according to the plan, after he came here to carry out the "order", he could soon start preparing to go outside the city to do things, because he didn't want to live in this yamen. Could it be that the ancient officials watched a cup of tea and a pond newspaper for a day?

"Shi Xiancheng, Zhang Xianling invited you over?" Immediately a scribe spoke.

"Zhang Hong, what did he ask me to do?" Shi Bufan muttered.

Shi Bufan and the county order Zhang Hong have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, and both sides are in charge of a stall. Zhang Hong enjoys happiness in the city, but Shi Bufan is responsible for agriculture and people's livelihood outside the city, and both sides do not interfere with each other, what does this Zhang Hong actually let him come over at this time?

"Shi Xiancheng, hehe, I've worked hard lately!" Zhang Hong said.

"Nothing to be courteous, if you are not a traitor, you will steal!" Shi Bufan thought.

Zhang Hong took the initiative to sit down and said, "Shi Xiancheng, I haven't had a serious understanding with you during this time, I heard that you have been making a good impression below recently?" I heard that the people are also very satisfied, and now the people are rushing to do things. The people have formed so-called cooperatives, to do things together, and then to farm? I heard that according to the estimates, from the increase in production, plus the savings, so that the grain production will actually increase by at least half? ”

"Yes!" Shi Bufan has nothing to deny, this is made by him, and he is naturally very familiar with it.

Zhang Hong continued: "Shi Xiancheng, you are also tired during this time, you might as well take a rest." ”

"Zhang County Order, what do you mean by this?" Shi Bufan frowned and asked.

This Zhang Hong sounds "well-intentioned", let Shi Bufan take a break. But letting an official rest, that meant something different in ancient times. In ancient times, officials were allowed to rest, but officials were left to worry and not to work. The harder an official works, the more power you have, and this is true in ancient times. Those officials with great power are often very busy, and those who want to be idle often do not have much power.

As for what pursuit is leisurely and powerful, this does not exist. Being idle means that there is no duty or too little responsibility, and there is no responsibility and no authority, and no authority means that there is not much power. So this makes Shi Bufan "rest", what kind of heart is this!

"Shi Xiancheng, I just let you take a good rest, don't get tired!" Zhang Hong still said with a kind face.

Shi Bufan said again: "It's okay, I'm strong, I don't need to rest!" On the contrary, it is Zhang Hong's county order, you are older, you should take care of your days, and these rough jobs will be handed over to us young people to do well. You are over fifty years old, so it's better to tease your grandson. ”

Zhang Hong's smile froze on his face, this Shi Bufan is really "poisonous", and he actually used his other way to return the favor, and directly persuaded Zhang Hong to rest. Letting an official rest is nothing more than dismissal, or being promoted to a position with little power, which is not a good result. Shi Bufan said this in the opposite way, which made Zhang Hong's face change.

"Shi Xiancheng, you remember for me, you are just a county Cheng! County Cheng, it's my Zuo Er, I'm the right county commander of Wannian County, believe it or not, I can make you ...... with a word" Zhang Hong said unceremoniously.

Shi Bufan sneered in his heart, this Zhang Hong seemed to be telling himself, emphasizing that he was just a county magistrate. The legal power of the deputy of the county was not obvious during the Tang Dynasty, and his duty was only to assist the county order, and the power was very vague. So this Zhang Hong wants to tell Shi Bufan that Shi Bufan is just a county official, and his scope of authority is all in Zhang Hong's words, and it depends on how Zhang Hong distributes it. This jurisprudential duty is too vague and very contradictory.

Shi Bufan said coldly: "Zhang Hong county order, I think although I am a county minister, but I am also a county official appointed by the Ministry of Officials, it seems that you can't do anything to me, right?" Could it be that Zhang Hongxian ordered you to still be able to go deep into the ministry? ”

"I can't do it, but someone ...... Well, in short, you give me a rest as soon as possible, I will ask someone else to be responsible for the agricultural affairs of Wannian County, you don't have to worry about it! Zhang Hong said.

Shi Bufan laughed and said: "Zhang Hong County Order, after a long time, it turns out that you want to pick peaches!" I have worked hard to plant this 'peach tree', and it will soon be flowering and bearing fruit. But you're trying to kick me away and go find Peaches. It seems that Zhang Hong County Order, you can't do practical things, but you are very powerful as an official, and you are really an old official! It seems that you have been in officialdom for decades, and you have not been in vain! I don't have the ability to do things seriously, but I have the ability to pick peaches and grab credit, but they are very strong. No wonder you've been mixed all your life, it's just a five-grade county order. ”

This Zhang Hong seems to want to pick peaches, there are more such birdmen, that is, he is just using this kind of conspiracy to grab credit. However, this kind of person is not looked down upon by Shi Bufan. This kind of peach picking to grab credit may seem good, but it is only useful in the middle and low levels. But at the top level, relying on this method is completely useless. Some people stubbornly believe that conspiracies can promote history, but in fact, Shi Bufan knows very well that history is not a conspiracy that can be promoted, but relies on real strength and upright wisdom.

Zhang Hong saw that he had a credit, so he wanted to get this credit, and directly kicked Shi Bufan away. So Shi Bufan was very unceremonious and directly sarcastic about him, a guy who wanted to grab credit and pick peaches, for this kind of thing of snatching the credit of his subordinates, he was simply perfect.

Zhang Hong's face was dark, and he scolded in his heart that he was not sensible, although he was picking peaches, but you couldn't say this kind of thing directly! Will this be an official, and he actually said it so directly, so that he doesn't give face to his boss?

"Smack!" Zhang Hong slapped the table fiercely and said angrily: "Shi Bufan, what do you mean by this?" Did you talk to your boss like that? I am the county order of Wannian, you are just the county commander of Wannian, and you are my second assistant. What do you mean by talking to me like that? According to my Datang grade, I am the county magistrate of Jingxian on the fifth grade, you are just an eighth-grade Jingxian county magistrate, what qualifications do you have to talk to me like this? In your eyes, is there any condescension and humility, and is there any law of my Datang? ”

"Slap the table? You think you're the only one who can slap the table? I won't! Shi Bufan also said.

"Smack!" Shi Bufan also slapped the table with both hands, and slapped the table in front of Zhang Hong on the spot, obviously not taking him, an old official in his fifties, in his eyes.

Even Shi Bufan slapped the table with both hands, coupled with his youth and strength, the sound was several times higher than the sound of Zhang Hong slapping the table, and the entire county government also knew about it. The officials of the entire county government have set their eyes on them, as if they are curious that the two county officials have fallen out here.

"You, you, you, you ......" Zhang Hong looked at Shi Bufan, trembling with anger.

Shi Bufan then said even more unceremoniously: "Zhang Hong, do you think it's over by slapping the table?" I'm telling you, I can not only slap the table, but also lift it, you show me! ”

"Kala!"

Shi Bufan directly overturned Zhang Hong's desk, which made Zhang Hong feel even more hot, and the anger in his heart was even more incomprehensible. This one dared to flip the table in front of him, which made him feel that his boss couldn't get off the table. Shi Bufan is just an eight-pin county magistrate, but Zhang Hong is the county magistrate of Wupin Jing County. Wupin was already considered a high-ranking official in the Tang Dynasty, and officials above Wupin could only be appointed with the approval of the emperor himself.

But let's not talk about an eight-pin, and it's his own subordinate, he actually slapped the table like this, so what is the majesty of his county order? Although this Zhang Hong may not be able to do practical things, the experience of this kind of middle- and low-level officialdom struggle is extremely rich, and he naturally knows that once he is tortured and slapped in the face this time without retaliation, then this will really be a dignified sweep.

"Come on, arrest me for this Shi Bufan!" Zhang Hong said angrily.

Immediately, an official came over, and then he felt very hesitant, because they ordinary officials were also afraid that the gods would fight, and mortals would suffer! The county ordered the county to fight, but they little minions have to see clearly, don't stand on the wrong side at that time, it will be very dangerous.

"Zhang County's order, I think it's better to ask for instructions......" said a servant.

But Zhang Hong was annoyed and angry, obviously didn't listen, and said: "Arrest me, an eight-grade county Cheng, I am a five-grade, he has three big grades behind me, what are you afraid of?" ”

"Zhang Hong, you said you are a fifth grade? Then I'm still a Dingxiang County man! My Dingxiang County male was canonized by the imperial court, which is also equivalent to the five grades. What's more, the knighthood is higher than the official position, I don't think you should understand this truth, right? Shi Bufan said again.

"Shi Xiancheng still has a knighthood?" "Yes! It's actually a knight......"

The people around were talking about it, and it was obvious that they didn't dare to move. A knighthood is higher than an official position, and obtaining an official position does not necessarily mean obtaining a title, but a title can be passed down from generation to generation, as long as you don't make a big mistake, you can keep it forever. But in the final analysis, the official position is also a part-time job, working for the royal family, and if people are not satisfied, they can find an excuse to remove you from your position, and then you will have nothing.

Although the county barony of Shi Bu is only equivalent to the fifth rank, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the title of the fifth rank is even higher than the official position of the fifth grade. So in this way, no one on both sides is afraid of anyone, don't look at Shi Bufan and dare to slap the table, but he is actually not that impulsive person. He dared to slap the table, which means that he has no fear, and the reason why he has no fear is this title. If he shows off his title, this Zhang Hong still dares to mess around, then he will die.

Life is often a circle, although Shi Bufan was born in the ordinary Hanmen Shu landlord class, which is considered a circle. But he also participated in the Xuanwumen coup, which can be regarded as a circle, whether he was voluntary or involuntary at that time, he was also more of a circle of people. Of course, knighthood is also a circle.

Although the nobles are often inconspicuous on weekdays, they have a great influence. They are characters in a circle, and if the people in this circle are insulted, then they will all feel "sad for the rabbit and the fox", and they will naturally be angry for him. Shi Bufan showed his title, so if Zhang Hong dared to do anything to him, then those who founded the country with a knighthood would naturally be angry for Zhang Hong, and those people have a lot of power, and it is much easier to clean up a Wupin county order. This is to maintain the nobility and prestige of this "circle", so no one can be left alone.

"You-" Zhang Hong pointed at Shi Bufan, but he didn't dare to say more.

Shi Bufan saw that Zhang Hong didn't dare to speak, so he turned his head and left, leaving a sentence and saying: "Zhang County Order has something else, otherwise don't delay me to do things!" ”

Zhang Hong watched Shi Bufan leave, and then finally couldn't help but say angrily: "Don't think you have a title, your title is just a county man, but can you fight against a prime minister and a prince?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Bufan suddenly had a "lightning" in his head, and then seemed to think of something. Shi Bufan was very fast, and he also speculated something in his heart, and he seemed to understand something.

"After making trouble for a long time, it turned out that they were making trouble behind me and wanted to suppress me! But you want to suppress me? Hmph, you are already unable to protect yourself, and you still want to suppress me? I'm afraid, Li Shimin has already begun to think about how to let you go home and sell sweet potatoes! Originally, I didn't plan to do anything to you, but since you took the initiative to find my bad luck, then don't shoot me with you! Shi Bufan thought.

Shi Bufan returned home, and then said: "Go and ask Daxue about the information of Zhang Hong, the county commander of Wannian County." ”

If you want Zhang Hong's information, isn't the best way to find Dugu Daxue? The official's information is Dugu Daxue's Shang Gong identity can be easily obtained, but it is only general information, and it doesn't need to be too secretive, as long as it is public.

"Mr. Shi, Dugu Shanggong asked me to give this to you, she said that this is the document of Zhang Hong, the county magistrate of Wannian County! I borrowed it from the ministry, and I'll return it as soon as you've finished reading it. A maid in the palace said. (To be continued.) )
