Gao Zhongxiong was frightened by Han Jin a few steps back and bumped into the railing behind him.
When Han Jin marched into battle, he couldn't even stand mosquito bites, and how could he stand a dirty prison? It was against his will. When he saw Gao Zhongxiong's expression, he couldn't help crying, and said, "You thief! It's you who brought me down to this point!"
Gao Zhongxiong didn't dare to answer, and walked out against the railing.
Han Jin became angry and scolded: "You have no shame in taking refuge with the thief Shen! You are a servant of the three surnames who serve the thief by yourself! Gao Zhongxiong, you are a lonely ghost! Don't go, you come back, you... "
Gao Zhongxiong pushed open the prison door in embarrassment, shaking off the haunting voice behind him. The cool wind was blowing outside, making his back feel cold. Literati cherishes their name, who doesn't want to be a Qingliu who is famous in history? Gao Zhongxiong almost couldn't get up when he typed the words "three surnames and slaves". There were thousands of grievances in his chest that he had nowhere to tell, and eventually turned into a disgusting disgust, and he even spit out "wow" against the wall.
Gao Zhongxiong spit out all the food he had eaten today, and the sour water was flowing backwards. Leaning against the wall, he gradually slipped and sat on the ground, looking at the vast sky, thinking of the elders of Yuzhou. He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, but the tears kept streaming down his face, so he wiped it with his sleeves, and finally wrapped his arms, rolled over and curled up in the corner, crying repressedly.
Who is willing to bow down for five buckets of rice
Gao Zhongxiong was reluctant, but he would die without the five buckets of rice. In order to find a way out, he even gave up face. If someone told him five years ago that he would bow to the yamen in order to be a subordinate in the future, he would rather die. But now he not only did it, he also learned to compliment people for the teenage Liken.
After an unknown amount of time, Gao Zhongxiong got up and packed himself up and walked out along the wall. When he passed by the yamen, he felt that the whispers around him were talking about him. But he didn't seem to feel it, just as Yao Wenyu said, he also woke up in the past Nanke.
"Under Gao Zhongxiong, the cursive characters are divine power." Gao Zhongxiong stepped into the yamen, bowed his body and said to the people, "I have been recommended by the same clerk to provide writing and ink. In the future, the yamen will be responsible for drafting any documents and notices."

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of August, and Kong Ling and Yu Xiao, who had gone to Huaizhou, came back. The matter in Huaizhou went smoothly, that is, when they passed through Luoxia Pass, they felt that the guards at Luoxia Pass were subtle, far more gentle than when they went there.
"Then Luoxiaguan guards," Yu Xiao said again, "I wanted to inquire about the news of our Tongzhi, and asked several times about Tongzhi's marriage."
"Don't you want to kiss Tongzhi?" Zhou Gui thought of Xiao Chiye, and hurriedly asked, "Then how did you answer?"
"I originally wanted to answer that there is someone in Tongzhi's family," Yu Xiaozai said a lot this time, "but Chengfeng advised me not to answer this way, and only returned that I haven't married yet."
The two of them didn't understand, Kong Ling felt like a mirror in his heart. He heard that Concubine Libei had come to Cizhou. On the way back, he paid special attention to Luoxiaguan's attitude. He knew the reason for the change. He just said hello to Libei. , I want to know Shen Zechuan through them.
Kong Ling picked up the tea and said, "Tongzhi didn't get married in the first place, so this matter has to be clearly stated so as not to fall into the ground and cause misunderstanding."
Zhou Guizheng wanted to tell Kong Ling about the last review of subordinate officials, and Qiao Tianya lifted the curtain. They got up to greet each other and said in unison, "Tongzhi."
It was raining outside, and Shen Zechuan walked all the way from the house, even if he had an umbrella, he could not avoid the rain. Yao Wenyu was pushed in, but he was wrapped tightly, even though he was too thin, he couldn't feel real when he was sitting on a four-wheeled vehicle. In the end, he followed Gao Zhongxiong, dressed very simply, holding a stack of brochures, half his shoulders wet.
"All gentlemen, sit down," Shen Zechuan said, taking his seat and wiping the water droplets off his hands with a handkerchief, "Mr. Chengfeng and Yu Jing have been working really hard on this long journey. You don't have to worry about the errands these few days, rest and rest."
Kong Ling and Yu Xiaozai thanked them successively.
"Shenwei also sits, don't be cautious." Shen Zechuan raised his palm to signal to Gao Zhongxiong, and said to Kong Ling, "This is Shenwei who has newly entered my account, dedicated to writing and ink, and is currently practicing in the yamen, and many things still depend on Chengfeng. Instructions sir."
Kong Ling even said that he did not dare, and looked at Gao Zhongxiong. Gao Zhongxiong briefly pulled up his bun today. He is now running around the yamen all day long, focusing on neatness, not so much like a scholar.
Gao Zhongxiong put down the pamphlet, bowed to Kong Ling, and said, "I have long admired Mr. Chengfeng's name."
Kong Ling got up and went back.
After waiting for them to take their seats, Shen Zechuan said: "Huaizhou is going well, and Chazhou is going well. Everyone can have a good year this year. The subordinates who measure the fields have already been dispatched. In order to ensure the accuracy of the number of acres, we will do more later After two verifications, it will be the end of the year when things are finished, but luckily it can be finished in time for this year. Now that the registration is completed, and the autumn harvest in Ibaraki is over, it is time to discuss the division of the fields when the snow falls. matter."
Yao Wenyu said at the right time: "In the past, the land levy and taxes under the capital were all in kind. After the grain collection was collected and put into the warehouse, it was checked and converted by people, and the labor cost of the delivery office was also included in it, which may not be accurate. Now we are in Cizhou, The part of escorting grain is eliminated, but to increase the cost of granary repair, it is most suitable to combine miscellaneous taxes to collect money.”
"The grain business can't be done for a long time," Kong Ling said. "The tea state will be reorganized this year, and the fields will be cultivated in the spring of next year. If you survive it, you will have a bumper harvest. You no longer need to do grain business with us."
"Then the other four prefectures always need it, right?" Yu Xiaozai didn't know the details of Zhongbo as well as they did, and said, "I think that King Yi is not long in business. Sealed a circle of messy courtiers. If we don't do business with Chazhou, we will do it with them."
The rest of the people laughed.
Shen Zechuan said: "Yu Jing really was born in the Supreme Court."
Seeing that Yu Xiao was puzzled, Kong Ling said, "When you see people behaving like this, you think about impeachment, and you forget that since they are so poor that they can eat people, how can they get the money to buy food from us?"
"Trafficking in Fanzhou is rampant, people are rampant, let them buy food, and they may take out the children for barter, these people are very bad!" Zhou Gui mentioned this matter with disdain.
"It's a blow, but the source is still in Luoshan. As for King Yi, he can't die," Yao Wenyu relaxed slightly and smiled, "He is now our barrier to the south, without him, we have to face it directly. It's Qi Zhuyin."
"Speaking of Qi Zhuyin," Yu Xiaozai rolled up his cuffs slightly, "I just thought of Qi Shiyu, I heard the news, that Miss Hua San married, and the old coach saw that the bride was born into a fish and a geese when he was in the hall. He was so happy that he actually lay down. already."
Zhou Gui was stunned and said, "Lay down?"
Yu Xiao said again, "I've had a stroke!"
Regardless of whether Qi Shiyu had a real stroke or a fake one, this incident indicated that he would not be in the same room with Hua Xiangyi. The queen mother got the in-law relationship with Qidong, but she couldn't go any further. Hua Xiangyi has no heirs, so Qi Zhuyin's position of commander-in-chief will not be changed. Now that she is in the hands of her first-born mother, there are reasons to suppress other brothers.
"Human counts are not as good as heaven's," Zhou Gui said with emotion, "Thanks to Qi Zhuyin not being a man."
They laughed and talked about something else. Kong Ling and Yu Xiao didn't return until today, and Shen Zechuan couldn't really let them sit and talk all night. When they were about to be ugly, they dispersed.
Zhou Gui personally sent Confucius back to the hospital, and briefly explained the matter of the review in the middle, and finally said: "Kill a gentleman who took bribes, and let the yamen clean up to now, but recently there have always been rumors that Tongzhi came to Cizhou. Come to coerce me. Listen to this, sigh, I can't eat or sleep well these days, I'm afraid that these words will spread to the ears of the acquaintances and cause each other to have pimples. "
Kong Ling held an umbrella and said, "I reminded you a long time ago that you don't need the name 'zhoufu'. If this matter is left in the presence of suspicious people, you and I have already lost trust in front of Tongzhi."
"But I," Zhou Gui said anxiously, "I don't know what to change it to!"
"It doesn't matter if you change it to anything, what matters is your attitude." Kong Ling tilted his umbrella and asked Zhou Gui to raise the lantern, saying, "Cizhou has become a trend now, so naturally you can't be vague about it any more. That means, but it can't stand three people becoming tigers, so as soon as possible to distinguish the primary and secondary clearly, so that others can also distinguish clearly, Ibaraki has changed hands."
The two of them had already gone up the stairs while they were talking, and the attendants behind followed. Kong Ling looked back before entering the porch, and motioned them to take a few steps slowly and not to follow too closely.
"It's not appropriate to be called the chief envoy; it's not appropriate to be called the governor. Then you can think of one for me," Zhou Gui said, chasing after him, "I can do it tomorrow morning."
"That's all the titles assigned to Qudu, so it's not appropriate." Kong Ling couldn't think of it for a moment, and after standing for a while, he said with a headache, "Shen Wei is the king of Jianxing, but he was deprived of his title and title. The relationship can no longer let fellow acquaintances stick to it.”
The two of them stood side by side in the cold night, and the wind blew over their jackets, causing the two of them to shiver neatly. Kong Ling was tired and cold, so he rushed people and said, "Go back and think for yourself."
* * *
Two days later, Zhou Gui submitted a document requesting that "Tongzhi" be changed to "Fujun". He originally meant to be called "Shen Jun", but the word "Shen" was linked to Shen Wei, and it became the state government's palace. This government word can be active, and it can be advanced layer by layer according to the future regional expansion, which is convenient for further changes. This was the first time in Ibaraki that Shen Zechuan was clearly respected, and Zhou Gui resigned from his original post and became a subordinate of Shen Zechuan.
As soon as this matter came out, King Yi of Fanzhou was the first to get anxious, and sent out several notices angrily accusing Zhou Gui of taking refuge with the thieves. Izzhou now has Gao Zhongxiong, leaning on a horse and a thousand words, black can be said to be white. While scolding King Yi for being merciless, disregarding the life and death of the people in Fanzhou, and enjoying extravagant construction and construction, he wrote ballads and songs to the four states east of Zhongbo, sent food to Shen Zechuan thousands of miles away, and sang about his injuries, which made those who heard it cry. The rumors became more and more exaggerated. By the time Xiao Fangxu's ears came, it had become "heavily injured" and "nearly breaking his arm".
Xiao Fangxu was startled, grabbed the diligent Xiao Chiye in the middle of the night, and asked, "His hand is broken?"
Xiao Chiye, who had been running errands for half a month, fell asleep and was dragged up by his father, and he still hadn't woken up. Xiao Fangxu shook him and asked again.
Xiao Chiye was annoyed by the shaking, and said in a hoarse voice, "Who, whose hand is broken?"
Xiao Fangxu said, "Shen Zechuan!"
