Gao Shilian is here.

But soon left.

So much so that Fang Yuan didn't know what he was here for.

seems to be supporting Kong Yingda, but it doesn't seem to be it, which is very strange.

In this regard, Fang Yuan was only surprised, and then ignored it.

But maybe Fang Yuan didn't expect that Kong Yingda was annoyed because Fang Yuan didn't give face.

He didn't have the ability to target Fang Yuan, but that didn't mean he didn't have the ability to target Fang Yuan's apprentices.

For the Kong family, they attach great importance to the relationship between master and apprentice, and think that their apprentice is a part of the master.

Since you Fang Yuan doesn't give face, and I can't target you, then your apprentice will suffer for you!

A county in Shandong.

Zhang Ji was arranged by the Ministry of Officials to be a county magistrate here.

Because of Zhang Ji's appearance, he was ostracized everywhere here.

However, because of his outstanding ability and other reasons, he has made a lot of political achievements here and is loved by the local people.

Maybe in the eyes of the county government and the county magnates, Zhang Ji is an ugly monster who can't get on the stage, but in the eyes of the people, he is a big man.

Everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

But today, Zhang Ji felt that the eyes of his colleagues in the county government had changed greatly.

In the past, they looked down on themselves, but they would more or less carry out their orders and did not dare to go too far.

But today they look at themselves not only with contempt, but also with schadenfreude.

"Master, what's going on?"

Zhang Ji asked the county's master bookkeeper.

In the past few years of working in the county, he has successfully subdued many officials through his own means.

Among them, the main book is one of them, and Zhang Ji is currently the most favorable supporter in the county.

"The Kong family has a famous hostel, and they have a banquet for the gentry in the county in Qingfeng Building."

"I don't know if it's because I'm drunk or for other reasons, I have repeatedly said that adults are not good, and I have threatened to be unworthy of being the county magistrate."

The master bookkeeper whispered.

Look around carefully as you speak.

As soon as he saw someone coming, he immediately distanced himself from Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji looked at this scene and heard the report of the master book, his eyes were gloomy as water.

Originally, he was not welcomed in the county, but now that the people of the Kong family have come forward to slander themselves, will he still be able to work in the county in the future?

Although he is loved by the people in the county, if the Kong family makes a move, and the gentry in the county have opinions about themselves, then they will not be able to work at war in the future.

The Kong family is like an emperor in Shandong, and if they take action in person, they can't turn over even if they have great ability.

Just, why?

Seeing that the main book, which was originally close to him, deliberately distanced himself from him, Zhang Ji's heart ached.

Will these years of hard work be wiped out like this?

Could it be that God is so targeted at people who look alike?

Zhang Ji's mood was heavy.

At this time, there was a commotion at the entrance of the county office.

Looking back, I saw many gentry in the county walking into the county office.

Among them, there was an old man with a red face at the front of them, with white hair and a bit of an immortal temperament.

"He, he is the famous man of the Kong family!"

The master's voice trembled.

After dropping these words, he trotted to them with a flattering smile to greet them.

Zhang Ji watched the gentry in the county support the famous house of the Kong family, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

But he took a deep breath and strode forward to greet them.

"You're Zhang Ji, right?"

"Something that looks like a dog has lost our face in Shandong."

The Kong family swept around the county office, and finally stopped at Zhang Ji and said coldly.

"Who is this celebrity?"

Zhang Ji's breathing was sluggish, and he almost couldn't hold back his scolding.

Listening to each other's words, it was obvious that they had seen each other for the first time.

The first time I saw it, I scolded myself for being a dog, is this the famous house of the Kong family?

"The old man already knows what you are doing, and the old man is here to warn you this time."

"Don't carry out your evil deeds in our Shandong, otherwise we won't let you go."

"You don't have to be complacent for long, the court will soon issue news that you have been dismissed."

The Kong family had no idea of introducing themselves, and said proudly.

"What do I do? My evil deeds? ”

"Please also ask this Confucian family celebrity to give an explanation, what have I done, what evil deeds have I done?"

Zhang Ji endured his anger and said in a deep voice.

Fuck, this is here to cover the hat, right?

Where did you offend the Kong family, and you want to cover yourself like this?

If you say that you have an opinion because you are ugly, you should have started to oppose it when you came to Shandong to govern.

Instead of working hard for so many years, he has already made some achievements in this county in Shandong, and he has almost gained a firm foothold before he came over.

"Hmph, pretend you don't understand?"

"It's okay, you'll find out soon."

The Kong family sneered.

"The Kong family just caps people like this?"

Zhang Ji listened, and his face turned red with anger.

As soon as he came out, he scolded himself, and then he covered himself with a hat.

However, when asked about him, he refused to explain, is he not guilty?

The gentry and tycoons in the county looked at it, their eyes were full of watching a play, and there was a faint smile on the corner of their mouths.

They don't care about what Zhang Ji has done, and they don't care if the Kong family's famous house has given Zhang Ji a hat.

As long as the county is still under their control, then they don't care who the county is.

"Presumptuous!"

"Be careful when you speak, my Kong family is a family of saints, how can I put a hat on you?"

The Confucian family was furious and scolded.

"And what do you mean I did?"

Zhang Ji said in a deep voice.

The Confucian family, the family of the Confucian saints, so what?

I'm a little person, but can't I resist being hatted by your Kong family?

"Look, this is the county order of your county, it's really a shame for our Shandong."

The Kong family still didn't answer.

Instead, he looked back at the gentleman in the county and blamed Zhang Ji.

"Indeed, it has lost the face of our Shandong."

"Don't worry, we will jointly write to the court and remove him."

"We don't want such people in our county, and we don't want such people in Shandong."

The gentlemen said indignantly.

One by one, they didn't take Zhang Ji in their eyes.

It's as if Zhang Ji's county order is a puppet.

Zhang Ji was so angry that his heart was about to explode, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He is obviously the nominally highest-ranking person in this county, but he is despised like this.

wanted to educate all the gentlemen in front of him, but Zhang Ji finally endured it.

There is no way, this is Shandong, the imperial court's management of Shandong is very weak, and the people of Shandong have very complaints about the imperial court.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

Suddenly, a sharp voice sounded outside the county office.

Suddenly, Zhang Ji and the others were shocked, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

But after seeing a eunuch walk in with a holy decree, everyone was sure that it was a real holy decree.

At this moment, Zhang Ji's heart was dead, his body was shaky, and he thought that he was really going to be dismissed.

Because just now the Confucian family said that the imperial court will remove itself.

And the famous house of the Kong family was also shocked, and there was some surprise.

He said that the dismissal was just casual talk, but he didn't expect that there would really be a holy decree?

Has Kong Yingda's status in the imperial court been so high?

The gentlemen present also had different expressions, and they were even more in awe of the Kong family.

"Who is Zhang Ji?"

The eunuch swept over the audience and shouted in a shrill voice.

"I, I am."

Zhang Ji closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

What should come will still come, so accept it.

I have failed, but I can't collapse and I can't let my teacher lose face.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Zhang Ji, the county commander of Changle County, Shandong, was conscientious, diligent, and well-governed by the local people during his tenure."

The eunuch's voice was steady and clear.

Zhang Ji heard it clearly, and the gloom on his face slowly turned into surprise.

The Kong family and the others looked different, stunned and couldn't believe it.

"Move to Wuling County County Order!"

Finally, the eunuch's reading ended.

Zhang Ji was promoted from a small county order to a large county order.

Although both are prefectural ordinances, there is a big difference between small and large prefectural ordinances.

Not only has the level been improved, but the population under management has also increased significantly.

"Zhang County's order, why don't you take the order quickly?"

The eunuch said loudly.

"Grandpa Xie!"

Zhang Ji reacted, and his breathing suddenly became short.

But what he was excited about was not that it was not going to fall but to rise, but that the county order he moved to was Wuling County.

Wuling County, that is the place where his mentor first became an official, and that is the base camp of his mentor.

It must be the teacher's shot, it must be the teacher's shot!

The teacher will cultivate himself as a personal disciple, and this will arrange for him to go to Wuling County!

At this moment, Zhang Ji cried like a child, and the respect for Fang Yuan in his heart was like a surging river, stretching for a long time.

"What does Zhang County's order mean? Could it be that you have an opinion on Your Majesty's arrangement? ”

The eunuch frowned and said with a little displeasure.

"No, no, the minister has no opinion."

Zhang Ji was shocked and quickly recovered his mood.

If this gaffe was brought back by the eunuch, the emperor might think that he was not up to the task, and his teacher would feel that he was a girl.

At the same time, Zhang Ji also thought that Fang Yuan had taught him that if there was a eunuch to pass on the decree, as long as it was a good thing, he would give a reward, so he immediately took out all his banknotes from his arms and secretly stuffed them to the eunuch.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, Zhang Xianling should pay attention to his body, the villain went back to reply."

After the eunuch received Zhang Ji's money, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

He didn't like it just now, he didn't like Zhang Ji to be so ignorant, and he didn't know how to reward some hard work.

Wait for someone to come all the way to it, just drink saliva, at least give some benefits, right?

Now Zhang Ji has been stuffed hundreds of times, and he is immediately very satisfied, and he said goodbye to Zhang Ji and left.

After the eunuchs left, Zhang Ji and others were left at the scene.

At this time, the faces of the Kong family and others were as wonderful as they were.

"Guys, are you still staying here, do you want the official to invite you to dinner?"

Zhang Ji looked at the Kong family and sneered.

The Kong family's face was ugly, and he looked at the holy decree in Zhang Ji's hand, and left without saying a word.

The gentlemen in the county exchanged glances, and finally left without saying anything.

Although Zhang Ji has been promoted, Changle County and Wuling County are too far apart, and there will be almost no more people who may meet in this life.

Since it was unpleasant, there was no need to be polite.

On the other hand, it was the county officials who immediately poured into the sycophants.

When Zhang Ji was there, most of them looked down on them.

However, the proposal before the promotion and departure is very important to them, and it is difficult to directly become a county order.

"Let's all go to work, this official is not leaving now, there is still more than half a month to go."

Zhang Ji sneered in his heart, but there was no look of revenge on his face.

He knew that his crisis was over, but he relied not on himself, but on his mentor.

I owe my teacher again, and I guess I can't make up for it in this life, so let's go to the soup.

Chang'an City.

Fang Yuan learned from Ma Zhou that he had entered the Emperor's Speech.

Among them, Zhang Ji and Ge You were both promoted, moving from a small county town to a large county seat, and their grades were improved.

Although the official position has not changed, the promotion of rank means that their sky will become more expansive.

On this day, when the morning was approaching, when the court meeting was about to end, Ma Zhou stood up.

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach Kong Yingda, who sacrifices wine, and the minister thinks that he is not worthy of being a teacher and not worthy of teaching the prince."

As soon as Ma Zhou's words came out, the courtiers were immediately surprised.

"What do you mean by that?"

Li Shimin frowned, glanced at Kong Yingda, and then looked at Ma Zhou.

"First, Kong Yingda's disciples Sun Gu Maozhong and Kong Fudao urinated at the gate of Fangfu, and their moral character was extremely bad, and the minister suspected that Kong Yingda's character was not good."

"Second, the day before yesterday, Kong Yingda personally went to the household department to find Fang Shilang and asked Fang Shilang to release Gu Maozhong and Kong Fudao, Fang Shilang disagreed, he was angry and asked his Confucian family in Shandong to make it difficult for Zhang Ji, the county commander of Changle County, and the minister thought that Kong Yingda's aggressive personality was not suitable to teach the prince."

Ma Zhou's voice echoed in the hall.

Everyone listened, looking at Fang Yuan with different expressions, but more at Kong Yingda.

"Nonsense!"

"First, Gu Maozhong and Kong Fudao are my disciples, but they are not taught by me, how can their morality be attributed to me?"

"Second, although my hometown is in Shandong, I haven't been back for many years, and I can't control what the clansmen over there do, and I don't know what happened in Changle County."

Kong Yingda stood up and retorted loudly.

"I have proof!"

Ma Zhou snorted coldly.

This is, Fang Yuan also stood up.

"Your Majesty, Kong Saijiu did come to me the day before yesterday, and he left very unhappily, I don't know what he did afterwards."

"But Zhang Ji in Shandong wrote to me, saying that a famous Confucian family contacted the gentry in the county to break into his county office, saying that he had lost the face of Shandong and that he had done something wrong, but he did not answer when asked what the famous Confucian family had done."

"If it weren't for the fact that His Majesty's holy decree happened to arrive, Changle County wouldn't know whether it was under the jurisdiction of the imperial court or the Confucian family in Shandong."

Fang Yuan said slowly.

When the words fell, everyone's expressions changed again.

Especially Kong Yingda's, a trace of horror flashed on his face.

Originally, it was just a difficulty, but being said by Fang Yuan was a seizure of power.

The family seized the power of the imperial court and county orders, which was a big crime.

"Your Majesty, Weichen doesn't know!"

"But Weichen can guarantee that the Shandong Confucian family has absolutely no idea of seizing power!"

Kong Yingda immediately explained, for fear that Li Shimin would misunderstand.

But in fact, Li Shimin has already misunderstood.

It is no secret that Shandong is not subject to the management of the imperial court.

Among them, the Confucian family in Shandong is the same as the saint in Shandong, and the status is respected.

If your Confucian family listened to the imperial court, it would not be so difficult for the imperial court to manage Shandong.

But you Kong family
