Ouyang Lianghan was demoted.

The news spread throughout the Jiangzhou officialdom.

The new long history is the former Jiangzhou Sima Yuan Huaimin.

The two switched places.

One up and one down.

Officialdom can almost be understood at a glance by a discerning person.

Yuan Huaimin should have been stained with Ouyang Lianghan's light, and the imperial court must punish Ouyang Lianghan for not obeying the edict at Xunyang Wharf.

The dismissal of the post of chief historian is already a relatively lenient punishment, and many people in the court have speculated that this time His Majesty will be angry and kill this direct minister.

Now it seems that according to rumors, Ouyang Lianghan's accusation that was equivalent to a provocative declaration of war to the Wei family was stopped by King Xunyang on the spot, which can be regarded as saving him.

"Ouyang Changshi, the miscellaneous family is very ashamed."

Khufu's final tone was somewhat meaningful.

"How dare you do this, the female master doesn't mention it, doesn't stay for dinner, and doesn't dare to ask more if she gives a hundred guts to the lower officials......"

Ouyang Rong was a little silent.

The Jiangzhou officials who passed by from time to time on the surrounding promenade had their faces as usual, as if they were accustomed to this picture, and they were not surprised.

After a pause, he looked at Ouyang Rong's face, and said with a straight face:

"The miscellaneous family doesn't understand the Xunyang Grottoes, but they know the taste of failure in their hard work, but at best, they can stay in the green mountains, and they are not afraid of no firewood.

"By the way, Ouyang Changshi, how much is the budget for our Jiangzhou expenditure next month, should we let the Assassin's Mansion draw the charge first or submit it to the imperial court officials in advance for signature......

Unlike Yuan Huaimin, who was in a hurry and had no time to spare, Jiangzhou Sima deserved to be a popular official position for demotion and was indeed idle.

The former Jiangzhou Sima Yuan Huaimin is acceptable to all parties, docile and obedient, not a thorn.

"How can this work? There is a way to be conformist, Xiao Gui Cao follows, Ouyang Changshi is my mentor and friend! The rules set before are very good, and the lower officials feel that there is nothing to change, very good, all very good, and resolutely unchanged......"

"Ouyang Changshi, I go to the Supervision Institute every day to report, do I want to report something to Rong Zhennushi, she doesn't seem to have a good temper, could it be that the lower officials bumped into the women in those days of the month...... By the way, does the Supervision Yuan provide breakfast, Xia Guan remembers that every time you come back, you seem to be full, and their food is so good? ”

In the morning, the Jiangzhou lobby was busy, but he went out quietly, and came to Xunyang Ferry to bid farewell to a friend.

The new chief shook his head like a rattle:

"Just kidding, cough cough, Ouyang Changshi don't look at Xia Guan like this, Xia Guan thinks it's good to do it once a month now, full of motivation, get used to it, hahaha, Ouyang Changshi don't look at it......" He shrunk his neck again.

Ouyang Rong ignored it, stared at the poor Yuan Huaimin for a while, and said with a straight face:

Speaking of this, he covered his mouth with his weak palm, and quietly pleaded: "Brother Lianghan, don't look at me like this." ”

At the Xunyang ferry, a large ship was about to leave the shore below, and Khufu shook his head.

In other words, Yuan Huaimin's promotion to the governor of Jiangzhou this time is not because he has made meritorious contributions and done anything to attract the attention of His Majesty and the heavenly officials of the ministry.

"Assassinate the Shifu first, and then submit it to the ministry, ask the officials above Langzhong to sign and draw the charge, don't make a mistake in the order, otherwise it will be difficult to determine the responsibility if something happens......."

"But to get to this point is already living up to the people.

"The miscellaneous family has been in and out of the palace for so many years, and I have never seen anyone who dares to resist the decree in public and say a 'no' to His Majesty, and the most important thing is that he can continue to serve...... For this alone, everyone in the world admires you. ”

"Now that Lord Yuan is the governor of Jiangzhou, Lord Yuan is the governor, what Lord Yuan says, the lower officials don't dare to send Lord Yuan, do whatever Lord Yuan wants, let go of his hands, don't care about the lower officials, it's okay to be bold, tear down the few broken pieces of wood in the Jiangzhou lobby, work from home, and the lower officials have no opinion."

When he asked the last question,

Ouyang Rong suddenly turned around, lowered his eyes, and stared at him intently.

Khufu sighed softly and patted him on the shoulder:

"Okay, good, or Ouyang Changshi is thoughtful, the lower officials are very relieved, by the way, there is also an important matter, the lower officials flipped through the "Great Zhou Law", and suddenly found one of the sentences: Officials have a rest for up to ten days...... Why don't we adjust it, take two more days off every month, take three days off, and keep savings, I think it makes sense to think about it......"

As for Yuan Huaimin himself.

Yuan Huaimin immediately shut up.

A few days later, he was still a little confused.

"And Your Majesty didn't transfer you out of Xunyang City, there must be a reason for it, it may be that the Xunyang Royal Mansion is still in Jiangzhou......"

"No, in the eyes of the miscellaneous family, Changshi will always be Brother Ouyang."

"Brother Hu, it's not a long history anymore, and now the history of Governor Jiang is Brother Huaimin, Brother Hu can't say anything wrong."

In the lobby of Jiangzhou, Yuan Huaimin followed behind Ouyang Rong, holding a small notebook in his hand, and asked humbly while recording.

"Ouyang Changshi, keep in mind one thing, what Your Majesty wants to do, no one can stop her, you have blocked it with all your conscience, although it has become a lesson.

But Ouyang Rong's eyes were still a little calm and frightening, Yuan Huaimin looked around, and found an excuse to "go to the Supervision Institute to find the Rong Zhennu History Report", and slipped away......

As for the vacancy of Changshi's position, the former Jiangzhou Sima, as the nominal fourth-ranked senior official in Jiangzhou officialdom - the second and third are Beijia and Changshi - are naturally temporarily substituted.

It's purely a succession.

Seeing the back of a certain non-obtrusive Xinjiang Governor Shi go away, Ouyang Rong shook his head.

Since Ouyang Lianghan did not obey the edict and did not cooperate with Xingzifang to build a statue, then change to one that is not in the way and does not object.

So this wave is really a pie in the world, the gods are fighting, and mortals have a chance...... The officials in the Jiangzhou hall were envious of Yuan someone, who was proficient in everything in the past.

"I don't know, you ask them to go."

I was a little hairy when I was stared at by my friends.

Ouyang Rong nodded silently, and the two chatted a few more words.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound of lute from the pier.

I don't know where I came from, and I don't know where I am going.

Who is the piano player?

Ignorance.

However, the guests and hosts who saw them off on the pier stopped to stop.

Hu Fu said in a trance: "I almost forgot, I heard that someone in Xunyang Tower has a unique pipa sound, and he has been in Xunyang for so long, and he forgot to listen to it, huh...... I don't know if this pipa sound is hers, I really want to see it. ”

Ouyang Rong didn't say a word, turned his head to look at the sound of the pipa echoing across the ferry, and his expression was distracted.

Khufu wanted to speak, but suddenly blurted out:

"The same is the end of the world, why should we have known each other!"

Ouyang Rong turned his head to look at Khufu, who was reciting poetry.

Hu Fu's face was pleasantly surprised at this time, and he said to Ouyang Rong and the left and right:

"Hey, this sentence is wonderful, I don't know why, it suddenly popped up in the minds of the miscellaneous family, haha, a good sentence, the miscellaneous family is really poetic today, this sentence is estimated to be comparable to many people in the literary world."

Ouyang Rong took a deep breath.

This is a pipa line that was recited in a previous life, but not in this life.

He nodded with a smile.

When Khufu was pleased and everyone was surprised, Ouyang Rong's right hand was inserted deeper, and he touched the head of a certain little ink spirit who was quietly helping.

It was almost bad just now.

After a while, the ship's escort came to inform him, and Khufu boarded the ship and left, reluctantly saying goodbye.

"Ouyang Changshi, meet again."

"Have a nice trip."

Although they were all envoys from Luoyang when they came, Lin Cheng is now also the right envoy of Jiangnan Province, so he does not need to return to the palace for the time being, and Khufu returns ahead of schedule.

Seeing Khufu's figure disappear, Ouyang Rong turned his head and returned to the Jiangzhou lobby.

On the way, when he walked to no one's place, Miaosi came out of his sleeve, poked him in the nose with a finger, and looked at him with his eyes:

"This fairy aunt is staring at you, you be careful, you are not allowed to overflow again, if it wasn't for my help just now, transfer it to the eunuch, you missed poetry again."

Ouyang Rong nodded helplessly.

He went out today and didn't take Ali and the others with him.

Ouyang Rong wore a felt hat and rode Dongmei, passing through the market.

After the day when the edict of demotion came back, Ouyang Rong took off his official uniform and returned to normal.

Jiangzhou Sima's position is very idle, and no one cares whether he wears an official uniform or not.

Xunyang City Well has returned to its former calm.

However, Lin Cheng is now serving as the right envoy of Jiangnan Governor, and the matter of Xingzifang statue is being prepared at a rapid pace.

Ouyang Rong listened to Yan Liulang's report, these days, the carriages of Yangzhou merchants such as Pei Shisanniang often appeared near the Thorn Mansion.

This is unmistakably bad news.

Although the situation is progressing in a bad direction step by step, the situation in the city is calm and does not seem to be affected, except for the price of pork and other things in the East Market that have quietly risen, and the prices have been piled up little by little.

In fact, now the smart people in Xunyang City know that some things can't be stopped, and Xingzifang will soon not return to its appearance......

In fact, this is also Lin Cheng's ruthlessness, some things should not be pushed to the end all at once, they must be taken step by step, boiling frogs in warm water is the most hurtful, and the temperature will be slowly transmitted to all levels of Jiangzhou......

Just returned to the Jiangzhou lobby.

Yuan Huaimin, whose official hat was a little crooked, came to the door again:

"Ouyang Changshi, please stay, the lower official has another incident, please ask for advice......"

Ouyang Rong didn't stop this time, and walked forward:

"Say it again, now that Yuanda is a long history, stop shouting, it's not good for others to hear it."

"Okay, Brother Lianghan, please look at this official letter, how should the officials be good in this matter......"

Ouyang Rong was serious: "How many times have you said it, don't shout words when you work, shout your position." ”

"Okay, Ouyang Sima."

"In addition, what is the official who is not an official, you are a long history, I am Sima, and I am a lower official."

Yuan Huaimin scratched his head:

"Hey, it's the same anyway...... And in the past few days, when other officials below reported to me, they often called me Ouyang Changshi...... I want them to go to you, so I'm going to ask you anyway. ”

Yuan Huaimin has another positive color road:

"Ouyang Chang...... Ouyang Sima, this official is now clear, how did you feel when you saw that my person in the opposite position was not there...... Hey, this official is sitting in the main hall now, and every time I look up and see that you are not in the opposite position, I am very depressed, and you are not there for anything. ”

“……”

Ouyang Rong looked at him silently for a while, and asked seriously:

"Are these two the same?"

"Pretty much."

After a while, the embarrassing atmosphere ended, and Ouyang Rong still went to help.

After the incident, Yuan Huaimin's eyes were envious:

"Brother Lianghan, why don't we change it back, this long history is too tiring......"

Ouyang Rong pouted: "Then you won't accept the order." ”

"This can't work, I'm timid, and it's better to be tired than to cut off my head."

Soon, the day ended between the idle Ouyang Rong watching Yuan Huaimin busy and scrambled his back.

Ouyang Rong shook his head.

Although he was familiar with Yuan Huaimin, he did not ask Yuan Huaimin to investigate or stop the matter on Lin Cheng's side, or let Yuan Huaimin and Lin Cheng do it against each other.

Because he knew that Yuan Huaimin was not Lin Cheng's opponent.

There's no need to hurt people.

As for Yuan Huaimin, he is still in the stage of being promoted in a daze.

Especially when I learned that there was not much difference between the history of the governor of Jiangzhou and the fortune of Sima of Jiangzhou.

Yuan Huaimin looked depressed...... Isn't this a part-time job for nothing?

In the middle of the night, Xunyang Palace.

In the study, everyone gathered again.

"Tan Lang is okay lately, right?"

Ouyang Rong came back to his senses and shook his head at everyone:

"Thank you Lord for appeasing the people that day, I didn't expect that the reaction of the old folks in Xunyang would be so fierce, if it was not handled properly that day, something might happen and be taken advantage of."

Lixian shook his head: "Tan Lang is polite, we should do it." ”

Li Bao'er asked directly: "Ouyang Lianghan, are you still angry?" ”

"It's all gone. Don't mention it. ”

Xie Lingjiang poured Ouyang Rong a cup of hot tea and said softly:

"It's just right, taking advantage of the recent leisure, senior brother to take a rest, since Your Majesty and Lin Cheng are going to forcibly build a statue in Xingzifang, then let's watch from the wall, if anything happens, it will be their sin, let's watch from the sidelines......"

"What if the Donglin Giant Buddha is built? Forever standing in Xingzifang. Li Dalang suddenly asked.

Everyone was silent.

Ouyang Rong raised his head and took the initiative to say:

"Lord Wang, please pay attention, Lin Cheng is not just a statue of Xingzifang, he may be with Wang Lengran, with the help of the statue, to suppress the palace...... It's almost a given. ”

"Okay."

After a short time, the study meeting ended, and everyone dispersed one after another.

Ouyang Rong was the first to walk out the door.

Lixian, Libao'er, Xie Lingjiang and others looked at him and walked away.

They looked at each other a few times.

Lida Lang wanted to call his friend, but Xie Lingjiang shook his head to stop him......

Late at night.

Huaiye Lane Mansion, drinking ice fast, in the dark bedroom.

Ouyang Rong had a dream.

Opening his eyes in the dark, he took away the girl's bare arms from his body, and he got up and dressed.

Ouyang Rong walked to the wardrobe and pulled out the narrow piano case lying under Miao Si, who was sleeping heavily.

Open the sword case.

The sword aura fills the room.

Looking at the full moon outside the window and the quarter moon in the window, he whispered:

"It's all in the past, some things are in the past, but I didn't accept it, although it seems like everyone has accepted it......"

There is only a sword to listen to the night talk.

The little guy stared curiously at the sword master, whose face was different from his usual face.

The night was quiet outside the window.
