Fang Yun only needs an excuse to remove officials below the third rank in Xiangzhou. If Liushan wants to remove Fang Yun, just an excuse is not enough, and Fang Yun needs 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 trace of worry flashed in Dong Wencong's eyes. Fang Yun said it easily, 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.”
"What do you think."
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 clears out the demon atmosphere in Xiangzhou, he will definitely entrust you with a heavy responsibility. 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 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 to ask for advice. After Lei Konghe returned to Shengyuan Continent, he has been visiting old friends, ostensibly 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 sectarian views. Wrong It's wrong, and it's right. If the dignified scholar had led the Lei family to apologize to you in person two years ago, you would have completely forgiven the Lei family. But... Lei Chongmo was killed by you, and this will cost ten Lei Konghes. It cannot be resolved. Now, Lei Konghe is in a dilemma. He can only choose between you and the Lei family, and he must choose within a short period of time, so 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 won the position of literary giant."
"Then... the big shot won't be Yi Chise, right? The Xusages of all dynasties were conferred after death and had extremely high honors, but for the living, the literary giant is the first person among the saints. Of course, you become The first living Xusheng is slightly better than the literary giant in terms of literary reputation. However, your literary reputation among the people is better than that of Yi Zhishi. If all the scholars in the world were to vote, the choice would be between you and Yi Zhishi. The first person among the saints, you may be a little inferior to Yi Zhishi. After all, you are only good at poetry and articles and have not yet written a book, while 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 He may lose the opportunity to be canonized. He should now be completing his foundation of the 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 sanctification, nor can he be canonized. We can’t follow Lu Buwei’s path of starting his own business.”
"It would make sense if Lei Konghe could invite him to come out of the mountain." Dong Wencong said.
Fang Yun nodded slightly 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 very unwilling to go to the gate of Ding County City."
"They should have seen the temporary sheds in front of Ding County City. They knew that the people living in the sheds were the people they had robbed, so naturally they couldn't move. Ignore them." Fang Yun said.
"I thought Lord Qing would take the opportunity to send someone to pick them up, so that they don't have to apologize to the murdered people, and at the same time, it would discredit you as the governor. Since Lord Qing has delayed sending someone to pick them up, it's a good thing." Dong Wenceng said.
Unexpectedly, Fang Yun sighed softly and said: "Qingjun's refusal to join the Xuanwu Army is not a good thing, but a huge bad thing. Do you think that big shot could be Qingjun?"
"Ah? Of course not, because Mr. Qing is not worthy of being a big shot." Dong Wencong did not hide his contempt.
Scholars have always had an ambivalent attitude towards the monarch. When talking about the secular world, they will regard the monarch as the main one, but when discussing the holy way, they only see the saints. In the eyes of scholars, the monarch is just a stronger official.
The monarch has absolute influence in his own country, no less than a semi-saint family. Once he conquers his country, his power will plummet.
Then, Dong Wencong nodded and said: "You are right. Since Qing Jun did not protect the Xuanwu Army, there can only be two reasons. One is that the Xuanwu Army is not worth his efforts to protect, otherwise, he has a bigger conspiracy!"
