The Sage of Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 1711 Big shot

Fang Yun only needed an excuse to remove officials below the third rank in Xiangzhou. If Liushan wanted to remove Fang Yun, just an excuse would not be enough, and Fang Yun would have to make a serious mistake.

"If all Qing officials mobilize to impeach me collectively, it will indeed be enough for Liu Shan to remove me." Fang Yun nodded.

A hint of worry flashed in Dong Wencong's eyes. Fang Yun said it lightly, but in fact it was very serious. Once a major incident occurred in which a large number of officials impeached an official, the impeached official's political career would be the end. That year, Liu Shan was impeached by a large number of officials and was in danger. The crisis was resolved only after he revealed his identity as the leader of the sect.

Xu Sheng can do many things, and even be exempted from guilt, but the best result is just to be transferred, and it is absolutely impossible to continue to serve as the governor of the two states.

Officialdom has its own rules. Fang Yun can change the officialdom of Ning'an County, but it cannot change the officialdom of Xiangzhou, let alone the officialdom of Panorama State.

"What else did they say?" Fang Yun asked.

Geng Hui said: "They said three things. In addition to this, they also said that Qingjiang Trading Company is very dissatisfied with you. Both Ge Wanwan and Ge Yiming want to retaliate against you. Obviously, once you have problems, the Ge family will definitely make trouble. . As for the third thing, I can only quote their exact words, because I don’t know what they are talking about, and maybe even they themselves don’t know.”

"Tell me about it."

Geng Huidao: "They said, 'A real big shot will take action.' Their attitude was very proud, as if that big shot would definitely be able to deal with you. After saying that, a few of them became sober and stopped talking about it."

Fang Yun nodded and fell into deep thought.

Dong Wencong said: "You have done a good job. Once Fang Xusheng completely eliminates the evil atmosphere in Xiangzhou, he will definitely entrust you with an important task. You must continue to contact them these days, and you must try every means to find out who that big shot is!"

Unexpectedly, Geng Hui looked embarrassed and said: "I'm afraid I can't do it."

"Why?" Dong Wencong's expression changed slightly, showing no anger or authority.

Geng Hui said with a grimace: "Because those people seemed to be on guard and didn't want to leak the matter. Before the end of yesterday's cultural meeting, they said that they would not participate in any cultural meetings recently and would not let us look for them. They wanted to Be fully prepared for what happens next. If the official approaches them deliberately at this time, they will definitely be suspicious. "

"This is troublesome. Mr. Governor, who do you think the big shot will be?" Dong Wencong said and looked at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun shook his head slightly and said, "I'm not an omnipotent saint. I really don't know who I am."

Dong Wencong said: "I have a guess, I don't know if it is related to that big shot."

"Tell me about it," Fang Yun said.

Just as Dong Wencong was about to speak, he turned to Geng Hui and said, "Go find my guard. He will send you away secretly so that no one will find out."

"I'll take my leave!" Geng Hui immediately turned around and left.

After Geng Hui left, Dong Wencong whispered: "I heard a few days ago that Lei Konghe, the head of the Lei family, will come to you in person for advice. After Lei Konghe returned to Shengyuan Continent, he has been visiting old friends. On the surface, he Reminisce about old times or send some gifts, but many people suspect that he will use all his strength to stop you."

"I have also heard this statement and talked with Mr. Hechuan. Mr. Hechuan said that Lei Konghe is an upright gentleman. If he wants to deal with me, he will definitely act upright and will not engage in any conspiracy." Fang Luck.

"Lei Konghe is indeed a gentleman, but he is also a member of the Lei family. If he had come back three years ago... no, he only needed to come back two years ago, it would have been enough to resolve the grievances between your Fang Lei family. After all, he rarely clings to family views. Wrong is wrong, right is right. If the great scholar led the Lei family to tell you personally two years ago. Sorry, you would have completely forgiven the Lei family at that time, but... Lei Chongmo was killed by you, and even ten Lei Konghe could not resolve this hatred. Now, Lei Konghe is in trouble, and he can only stand between you and the Lei family. If you have to choose within a short period of time, the result is already determined." Dong Wencong said.

Fang Yun nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, but I don't think Lei Konghe may be considered that 'big shot'. Only Lei Konghe can be considered a big shot unless he has overtaken Yi Chise and seized the position of literary giant."

"Then... the big shot wouldn't be Yi Chise, right? The Xusages of the past dynasties were all conferred after death and had extremely high honors, but for the living, the literary giant is the number one among the saints. Of course, you To be the first living virtual saint, you are slightly ahead of the literary giants in terms of literary fame. However, you are only among the people. His literary reputation is stronger than that of Yi Chise. If all the scholars in the world were to vote to choose between you and Yi Chise, the person who is the best among semi-saints, you would probably be slightly inferior to Yi Chise. After all, you are only good at poetry and articles. He has never written a book, but Yi Zhishi already has a collection of essays." Dong Wencong said.

Fang Yun frowned slightly and said: "The possibility of Yi Zhishi is indeed greater than that of Lei Konghe, but Yi Zhishi can become a literary giant of the clan, and he will never be stupid enough to become my enemy on the eve of the canonization. As long as his mood is slightly disturbed, he will May lose the chance of canonization Yes. He should now be completing the foundation of his holy way. Once he determines the holy way and writes the book of the holy way, he can naturally be canonized. He should not follow Xunzi's path of criticizing saints, nor can he follow Lu Buwei's own path. The road to opening a business.”

"It would make sense if Lei Konghe could invite him to come out of the mountain." Dong Wencong said.

Fang Yun nodded lightly and said nothing.

Dong Wencong reached out to touch the official seal, and then said: "The magistrate of Ding County just sent me a letter saying that the Xuanwu Army has arrived thirty miles away and is advancing slowly. It seems that they are very reluctant to go to the gate of Ding County."

"They should see the temporary sheds in front of the gate of Ding County and know that the people who were robbed by them live in the sheds. Naturally, they can't move their legs. Don't pay attention to them." Fang Yun said.

"I thought Qingjun would take the opportunity to send someone to pick them up, so that they don't have to apologize to the victims, and at the same time make you, the governor, lose your reputation. Since Qingjun has not sent anyone to pick them up, it's a good thing." Dong Wencong said.

But Fang Yun sighed lightly and said: "Qingjun's failure to pick up the Xuanwu Army is not a good thing, but a terrible thing. Do you think that big man is Qingjun?"

"Ah? Of course not, because Qingjun is not worthy of being a big man." Dong Wencong did not hide his contempt.

Scholars have always had a contradictory attitude towards the monarch. When talking about the secular world, they will respect the monarch as the main thing, but when discussing the way of saints, they only have the saints in their eyes. In the eyes of scholars, the monarch is just a stronger official.

The monarch has absolute influence in his own country, which is no less than that of a semi-saint family. Once he leaves his own country, his power will drop sharply.

Then, Dong Wencong nodded and said, "You are right. Since Qing Jun did not protect Xuanwu Army, there can only be two reasons. One is that Xuanwu Army is not worth his protection, otherwise, he has a bigger plan!"
