The oldest man was talking, and he was talking about Wen Chou's rectification of Wen Ji: "Sir, as a son of the Wen family, Wen Jun does not focus on clan interests, but attacks him with coercion, can it be regarded as rebellion?" ”

"Oh? Why? Jiang Cheng said with interest.

In recent years, although there is a slight battle in the Wenji lineage, arrogant, but also has a lot of its real estate merit, now Wen Jun does not care about one or two, ordered all to return, can be described as rude! It also damages the original interests of the clan, which can be described as a rebellion! ”

"Yes, the family of this family is not important, let alone other clans, today most of the Shi clan is established, how can he be recognized by other clans? Wen Jun's action is to cut off the roots and cut down the wood, and exhaust the source to get water! Alas, such apostates will not last long! The youngest young man who spoke, he was very angry and disappointed, his face flushed, if it weren't for the teacher Jiang Cheng in front, he might not be able to control himself, and he screamed.

Jiang Cheng asked with a smile, "Why are you so angry, but so disappointed?" ”

"Sir, you have taught your disciples, saying that 'starting a career' should be 'when a person is strong and poor, relying on others to achieve a career', after all, when a person is weak and weak, when trying to win the support of the majority, you can achieve a career! As a township with rank and thousands of households, Wen Jun sees his good use of people, and he has the heart to serve in the future, but he also looks at his behavior of destroying the source in this way, which is disappointed and angry. ”

The angry young man was obviously always paying attention to Wen Chou's every move.

Jiang Cheng asked the other disciples, "What do you think?" ”

One of them said: "The disciple thinks that although Wenjun's move is detrimental to the interests of the clan, it has not hurt the depths, which shows that Wenjun is also well aware of the importance of the "clan", let alone 'rebels' and 'non-career' Yunyun. "The person who spoke was Chen Ning, the inner prison gate in Chen's shed. The last time Wen Chou came to visit Jiang Cheng, he met Wen Chou.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Jiang Cheng's eyes were fixed and he smiled.

"The last time Wenjun came to visit Mr., the disciple was fortunate to be accompanied by him, and he had a conversation with him, judging his behavior and hearing his words, he is not a person who does not understand the current situation, nor does he look like a short-eyed villain who will cut off the root and destroy the source."

The oldest man asked, "Then why is he messing with the benefits of the Wen clan, but for the sake of Mai Ji now?" ”

"No, it's nothing more than the word Liwei, it's for 'knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger'!" Chen Ning said.

"Today he can cut the text of the feather to stand strongly, and tomorrow he can also coerce us to stand strong! He can also be a mountain in the eyes of us when we rise again! The older man said in an air.

Chen Ning shook his head: "Since Wen Jun took office, except for this matter, no second person has been convicted. Not only was the second person convicted, but he also provided for the orphaned and elderly, and even went so far as to pay for the dead and wounded in battle. All the villagers were grateful to Dade and praised him, thinking that he was 'parents'. How could he be such a short-sighted man? It seems to me that after this, he will be the next to be the city of Enlid and the people of E-peace. ”

Several other disciples also joined the debate, some supporting the older man, and some agreeing with Chen Ning's words. After arguing for a long time, no one could convince anyone, there was no result, and at the moment, according to the usual practice, they all left the table and bowed, asked Jiang Cheng for advice, and asked him to judge right and wrong.

When they were arguing, Jiang Cheng barely spoke, just closed his eyes and recuperated, then slowly opened his eyes, pressed his hand on the desk, raised his eyes to look out of the hall, and said leisurely for a while: "Wenzi filial piety, since the beginning of March when he was called by Du Jun, but more than a month, that is, rank, and won the praise of the villagers, if you wait for the officer, it may have this effect?" ”

The disciples didn't expect him not to say right or wrong, but when he asked this, they all didn't understand what he meant, and no one spoke for a while.

Jiang Cheng asked the disciples if they could be like Wen Chou, born for less than a month, so that they could be noble, and make the villagers praise each other and think that they were parents. The disciples did not understand what it meant, and they were cold for a while.

Jiang Cheng sighed and said: "The last time Wenjun came to visit, I saw that he was heroic, although I also praised him for his kindness since he took office, he left money to visit the people, which can be described as benevolent, but to be honest, I really didn't expect him to be so benevolent!" The reputation of 'benevolence, righteousness and filial piety' is worthy of the name. Looking at the disciples and protégés present, I felt that none of them could compare to the ugliness of Wen Wen, brushed his sleeves and pressed the case, slowly stood up, and said, "I have been sitting for a long time today, my legs hurt, and I want to go back to the house to rest." Disperse yourselves. Remember, 'He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world', and you can't be an outsider. ”

All the disciples shut up, avoided the table again, and sent him away.

When he walked to Chen Ning's side, Jiang Cheng said: "Stop Ming, the prison gate is a lowly servant, not a place for people with lofty ideals. You will resign from this position tomorrow and concentrate on your studies under me. ......, in a few days, you can go to the Xiangliguan Temple to visit Wenjun. ”

Chen Ning was happy and surprised, happy to listen to Jiang Cheng's meaning, this was to officially include him in the disciple and change the "protégé" to "disciple"; The strange thing is to ask him to visit Wen Chou. He raised his head: "Sir, you asked me to visit Wenjun?" ”

"If you are interested, you can also go to visit with Zhi Ming."

The eldest disciple, the younger one, and the other disciples who had been criticizing and criticizing Wen Chou were all stunned and raised their heads in unison. Zhang Chi said: "Wen Chou is a traitor, not a person in my way. Although he is a little brave and brave, but the more courageous a person like him is, the greater the harm! Sir, how do you ask your disciples to visit him? ”

Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "Last time, Wenjun came to visit and asked me about politics and how to govern my hometown. Do you know what the old man answered? ”

"I don't know, please show me."

"I said to him, 'Prepare for the people, hide the wealth from the people, and suppress the big surname', you say that he is not doing this right, he is actually following my advice!"

"But ,......! gentleman"

Jiang Cheng interrupted Zhang Chi's words: "Tengyun, you are an upright and ambitious person, the theoretical foundation is solid enough, but you can't apply it flexibly, this is your shortcoming!"

Jiang Cheng paused and said: "In terms of outstanding people, Wen Jun has a moderate demeanor, but he is really a thorny person for me. He has the courage to be brave, brave and brave, understands the general trend, knows prudence, respects the old and respects the virtuous, and can also be strong and strong, coupled with the reputation of his family, over time, he will be able to rise to the top. I asked you to visit him for the sake of your future. ”

Zhang Chi and Chen Ning are all children of the Han clan and small families in the countryside, none of them are from wealthy families, and Chen Ning, who is from the lowest background, is even more in charge of the cheap servants of the prison gate. In today's world, it is very difficult for them to become a leader, even if they are lucky, it is difficult to rise to a high position, and they are likely to stop in the position of fighting food officials for the rest of their lives.

When Zhang Chi and the others heard this, they were surprised and moved very much, and bowed down and thanked the teacher. But with a struggling look on their faces, they also knew in their hearts that Wen Chou was definitely a master of the moment, but their preconceived notions still influenced their choices.

Jiang Cheng was helpless, and said: "If you want to, you will go, and if you don't want to, you will not go." As a teacher, I don't force you. After speaking, he went out of the hall and went back indoors to rest.

Because of the different views on Wen Chou's rectification of Wen Ji, Jiang Cheng's disciples and protégés had a dispute with each other, and they argued fiercely, but the focus was on "the process of Wen Chou's rectification of Wen Ji", arguing about "whether Wen Chou is doing this right", and he didn't seem to have much feeling about the result of "Wen Ji's family fell into the middle of the road".

The other big surnames in the "big surnames and wealthy families in the township" are different from them

They are also concerned about "the process of rectifying Wenji", but in contrast, what shocked them even more was the result of "Wenji's family fell in the middle". With the body of the Wen family, he is still so ruthless to the Wen clan, if they are so, how will Wen Chou be punished?

Liu's Pavilion Liu's family, one of the big surnames of the Liu family.

Liu Lan was sitting upright in the hall, and the clansmen of the Liu family in the hall were among them, noisy and noisy, so lively.

"Ahem, how's it going, has the discussion come to a conclusion?" Liu Lan coughed lightly and said.

There was silence in the lobby.

"But how can you be dumb?" Liu Lan said impatiently.

"Wen Jiazi, this move is really a strategy to knock the mountain and shock the tiger! Although my family said that there was a big man who was an official in the county court, after all, the far water could not save the near fire, and the Wen family was newly favored by the country, so it should not be touched! The old man said loudly.

"What the third uncle said is that I also think that it should not be touched, and it should be shown to be weak, which is a long-term solution!" Liu Lan thought for a moment and said. Everyone in the hall nodded in agreement.

"In this case, send a descendant, prepare some gifts, and send them to the official temple." Liu Lan said in a fixed tone.

……

Du Shiting, one of the big surnames, the Du family.

That is, the family of the former township has rank Du Yi, and after their patriarch heard the news, he was also as worried and shocked as Liu Lan, and immediately ordered someone to prepare a gift and ordered his nephew to send it to the official temple in person.

……

The thoughts of these big families, although Wen Chou doesn't know, can guess one or two.

Now that Wenji has been rectified, the goal of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger has been achieved, and he adheres to the principle of "too much", and he does not want to put too much pressure on other big surnames, so as not to deepen their fears, but it is not conducive to governing things in the future. Therefore, when the descendants of the Liu family came to visit, he had a gentle attitude and treated each other politely, if people who didn't know saw it, they would not have thought that such a humble gentleman would be a warrior who led the people to defeat more than 10,000 thieves not long ago!

The Du family is not as good as the Liu family, there is no background, there are no prominent officials in the clan, and the people who came to visit are all sons and nephews of the younger generation.

Wen Chou did not keep it, left the gifts they brought, and sent them out of the hospital very courteously.

Standing at the door, Wen Chang breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the gradually darkening world, and thought: "The suppression of the surname has successfully taken the first step, and there is still a long way to go!"
