Chapter 233 Fighting
The tea in the Tang Dynasty was complicated because there were usually a lot of spices in the tea. Wei Yuanzhong picked up the tea cup and tasted the tea carefully. He concluded that the tea should come from Jiangnan, and it was a first-class and tribute tea, and undoubtedly it should be a tribute tea.
Tasting the tea through the circling mist, Wei Yuanzhong narrowed his eyes and stared at the young man in front of him, thinking carefully about what Yue Feng had just said.
Yue Feng said: "Mr. Wei County Magistrate, there is no change in the current county government affairs. When I sit in the hall tomorrow, the county magistrate will still give orders for me as usual.
Wei County Magistrate, you are an old minister, old and virtuous, and Yue is a backward. You should learn more from you. Besides, the people support you, but you cannot be inferior to you, right?"
Yue Feng said this more sincerely, but is Wei Yuanzhong really so easy to believe him? He couldn't help but wonder, someone in this world would hand over the power he got to others? I have to say that Wei Yuanzhong has been struggling in the officialdom for half his life, and has never encountered such a situation!
But Yue Feng was really sincere, making people feel that his meaning was beyond doubt. Wei Yuanzhong had to think about it, and it was even hard to refuse easily.
After all, being able to have a heavy responsibility and being able to control power is the respect given to him by the county supreme Yue Feng. Will Wei Yuanzhong be treated as a handle by Yue Feng? Because Yue Feng is not an ordinary person, his backer is Wu Zetian and the kings of the Wu clan!
Wei Yuanzhong was originally in the height of the temple, so why was he exiled? The reason was that it was the Wu family's children, so Wei Yuanzhong was very vigilant about Yue Feng!
"Wei County Magistrate, Luoyang is the capital of Shen, and it is not easy for Luoyang to be an official. If Wei County Magistrate encounters something and encounters obstacles, you and I will work together to overcome the difficulties. I believe that on the ground of Shendu, I, Yue Silang, will still have some face! Wei County Magistrate is wise, and you and I will definitely be able to manage the world of Luoyang well for Your Majesty!" Yue Feng said again. This time his wording changed a little bit, probably to let Wei Yuanzhong work together with him to tell the two of them into a whole, which made Wei Yuanzhong feel a lot of thoughtfulness.
He immediately said, "Mr. County Master, Yuan Zhong will not refuse for the time being! But please familiarize yourself with official duties as soon as possible. When the time is right, Yuan Zhong will only follow the lead of County Master!"
Yue Feng laughed, pretended to be very happy, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, County Magistrate Wei is so quick-witted, it fits my spleen and stomach. It's very good, it's very good!"
Yue Feng was haha, but he didn't believe in Wei Yuanzhong's treacherous tale at all. Wei Yuanzhong is a man with high abilities in history, both civil and military, and resourceful, but his character is really not very good. His first characteristic is that he is keen on power and uses any means to fight for power and profit.
The second characteristic is that he is inclined to the storm. He has been dependent on Wu Zetian for a long time. In order to curry favor with Wu Zetian, he once betrayed many loyal ministers of Li Tang. It is no exaggeration to say that his ability to rise to the top was to step on the body of Li Tang's ministers!
How could Yue Feng believe what he said for such a person? However, there would be no sign of it on the surface! Just like this, the two of them were drinking tea, chatting and having fun. But they knew that each other might have thoughts. This feeling of having each other was very strange, especially for Yue Feng.
Although Yue Feng was a human being for two lifetimes, he was very self-aware. He never thought that he could beat the old man in his fifties who seemed to be in conspiracy and tricks. Therefore, to deal with such a big name, Yue Feng could only take advantage of the unequal information.
That is, Yue Feng knows Wei Yuanzhong, but Wei Yuanzhong doesn’t know how many skills and trump cards Yue Feng has. This is Yue Feng’s advantage, and he decided to make good use of this advantage!
After Wei Yuanzhong said goodbye and left, he immediately came to report again, but it was Zhang Heng, the right county magistrate, who came!
Zhang Heng was over forty years old and looked good. He looked very energetic. He bowed to Yue Feng with his fists and said, "Zhang Heng had met the Lord of County, the Lord of County, and Zhang had heard of the title of the Lord when he was in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. The Lord of Cuju is a genius, and Cuju is like using troops. Zhang thought that the Lord would become a famous general and fight for the emperor, but he did not expect that the Lord of Luoyang today. Zhang Heng was honored to be a colleague with the Lord!"
Zhang Heng was a strategist and was very polite. He showed his background in just a few words. Wu Chengsi was just smiling. Because looking at Zhang Heng's appearance, he, the right county magistrate, should not be very satisfied.
In fact, even if Yue Feng didn’t see Zhang Heng, he could probably imagine this situation. Who is Wei Yuanzhong? He is on an equal footing with Zhang Heng and will give power to Zhang Heng?
Fortunately, Zhang Heng still has some background, otherwise he would have been eaten so much that he would not even have bones left.
Yue Feng thought of this and laughed, saying, "Mr. Zhang is here. Just now, Lord Wei came here. I asked him if he could build a Cuju field near our county government. I was going to pick some experts from our county government to form a Cuju team. Usually everyone can play together, maybe we can really play Mingtang!
You are here. Lord Wei is very busy with everything he wants. I will assign this matter to you. I believe Lord Zhang can do it well, right?"
"Uh..." Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, as if he was eating a fly. He came to Yue Feng today, thinking that Yue Feng could quickly manage the affairs of the county government, so as to give Wei Yuanzhong a warning and kill the old boy's aura.
In fact, to look at it from another perspective, Zhang Heng wanted to use Yue Feng to deal with Wei Yuanzhong and treat Yue Feng as a gun envoy. He thought about it when he came, so he first brought out Wu Chengsi's background.
Didn’t Yue Feng recommend Wu Sansi to the top? The two of them are both officials under the Wu family. In this case, they should work together to deal with others. Yue Feng cannot refuse, and there is no reason to refuse.
But he never expected that Yue Feng would build a Cuju venue in the county government office as soon as he opened his mouth. This Luoyang Order was not here to be an official, but he wanted to be free and easy. It turns out that Yue Silang is really a Cuju, a fool, and is there a job that is not a bad job?
The key is that Yue Feng proposed to hold a Cuju venue and Zhang Heng could not contradict him, because Yue Feng was the county magistrate and his immediate boss. How could he not listen to Yue Feng’s arrangements?
In addition, both of them are officials under the Wu family. If Yue Feng had just taken office, they would be disunited. What do outsiders think about this? Zhang Heng wanted to take advantage of Yue Feng, but now he was beaten by Yue Feng. He was really crying!
Yue Feng did not seem to see Zhang Heng's bitter expression. He immediately arranged and deployed it for Zhang Heng. It was all about Cuju Field. What is Cuju Field must be tamped with loess, and then repeatedly tempered with tung oil and stone mills. All the tung oil must be sprayed into the yellow mud. On rainy days, it is barely appropriate for Cuju Field.
Ten thousand grass and mud horses were passing by in Zhang Heng's heart, but he could not reveal any of them on his face. He had to pretend to listen carefully. That look was really funny.
Finally, Yue Feng said: "Mr. Zhang, don't worry. If you can handle this matter well, I will leave it to you for the big and good things in the county government in the future. Just now, County Magistrate Wei also told me that I only rely on you and him for the big and small matters in the county government! So, you two are my right-hand men. You don't have to worry about me being favored by one or the other, I will definitely give it a balance!"
Zhang Heng nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, Yueshouzun is just and fair, Zhang has known for a long time that Zhang will definitely live up to the trust of the emperor and will definitely do his job well!"
Zhang Heng was bleeding in his heart, but Yue Feng's words made him vaguely see a little hope. He understood that Yue Feng was just a playboy and could not expect him to do the Luoyang ruling well.
The current situation will not change. The power of the Luoyang County Government will still be in the hands of Wei Yuanzhong. Yue Feng is happy all day long and will not be in charge of affairs. However, although Yue Feng doesn't care about affairs, his official rank is higher after all. If Zhang Heng can please him, Yue Feng would say something to Zhang Heng, which would be much more powerful than Zhang Heng's own shirtless fight with Wei Yuanzhong.
Zhang Heng can even use Yue Feng again to make Yue Feng and Wei Yuanzhong have a feud. After all, the dandy boy's temperament is his own way! As long as he is provoking and discord properly, once Yue Feng has a conflict with Wei Yuanzhong, things will be easier!
Although Wei Yuanzhong is powerful, no matter how smart this old guy is, he is afraid it will not be easy to deal with Yue Feng. After all, Yue Feng’s background is there, and not to mention anything else, just saying that Yue Feng is the county lord appointed by His Majesty. It is not as simple as Wei Yuanzhong’s words and things to shake him!
Zhang Heng felt much better when he thought about this, but when he turned around and left Yuefeng's house, his mood quickly became terrible! Zhang Heng read the books of sages for his whole life, and when he was forty, he got the position of a county magistrate by cursing Wu Chengsi. However, Yue Feng was only in his prime and was still young. Looking at his style, he only knew how to fight cocks and dogs and go on horseback all day long. Such a playboy is his immediate boss. Is there any rules in this world? Is there any morality?
Zhang Heng spitted out a mouthful of phlegm, and the breath in his heart was really nowhere to be found. Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him: "Zhang County Master, could it be that he had tea in his mouth when he went to the county master to drink tea? This vomit scared many people!"
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, his hair all over his body stood up. He suddenly turned around and saw that Wei Yuanzhong's old thing standing behind him like a ghost, his face changed suddenly.
