Gongsun Xun believed this... Xiang Xu had been aloof for decades before. Every time he saw a visitor, he would stick his butt out and say nothing. After decades, it was natural that he could not even communicate with others normally.

"So, I am kind to the Prime Minister?" Gongsun Xun continued to sneer with his hands behind his hands. "If I hadn't sent Brother Wang to keep you company and talk to you all day long, I'm afraid you would be saying the same thing today.

It won’t come out.”

"Don't...don't tease!"

"Xiang Gong," Gongsun Xun suddenly said calmly. "Have I ever made fun of you? I came to Zhao country not long ago, but I have also seen that there are no people who are driven crazy and stupid by being an official? To put it bluntly, they are all

They're just poor people... Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, I just want to ask you, you want to be an official, and I want to do something, isn't there something wrong?!"

"Governing by inaction is the right thing to do. Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. You have gone too far. You are always killing people and laboring the people..."

"But now," Gongsun Xun shook his head and said. "Xiang Gong, you can't even get out of the house, so how can you talk about cooking fresh food? But I have already killed everyone, and I will soon have to work hard for the people... The two have to be together.

?”

Xiang Xu cried more and more: "Why do you have to embarrass me?"

"I'll speak frankly." Gongsun Xun said simply. "Xiang Gong is the prime minister of the country... If you want to rule by doing nothing, just send a document directly to the higher authorities, saying that I am good at killing, beating, and seizing seals. The king's governor and the central government

The princes will definitely give you an explanation. When I drive into Luo, you can naturally continue to rule by doing nothing; and if you don't want to send me to prison, please turn your ears to the outside world and feel free to delegate your power to me! How about that?

?!"

Xiang Xu tried his best to hold back his tears, and then thought about it. He was also frightened and frightened in his heart, and he hesitated for a moment.

"Xiang Gong." The pig-kidney-faced Taoist Wang suddenly sighed and advised. "It's better to obey Gongsun County Lord... If he really drives into Luo, do you think his men can let you go?"

Xiang Xu was shocked when he heard this. After a long time, he managed to say: "Mr. Gongsun County, I will give you the seal and ribbon. Don't force me in the future... How about that?"

Gongsun Xun slowly shook his head: "Where is the county magistrate who holds the seal and ribbon of the Prime Minister? That's good. You will put it in the next room, lock the door, and give it two keys, one for yourself and one for Wang Taoist.

...The latter holds the key as your confidant, and I also come here to ask for advice on official matters, so it makes sense!"

"It's all up to you!" As he said that, Xiang Xu took off the seal ribbon and threw it to Wang Daoren. Then he leaned over and cried non-stop. The latter had no choice but to catch it with all his strength.

Gongsun Xun and Wang Daoren winked, and they immediately left Xiang Xu and walked out of the bedroom.

"Put it away." Gongsun Xun sighed. "I will naturally ask Lu Fan, the county meritorious officer, to come to you... If you have time, you and I will have a good chat... As for the Prime Minister, I will allocate some more people.

, and take good care of him for me..."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." At this point, Taoist Wang could only reply like this, but the sadness in his ugly eyebrows could not be concealed...

In fact, as Gongsun Xun said before, where are the people who are driven crazy and stupid by being an official?

Not to mention how sad the backyard was, Gongsun Xun turned back to the front yard, but immediately put away his sad expression and put on the cold face before:

"Everyone, the Prime Minister of the State has approved my petition, appointing a famous scholar from Jizhou as the Northern Supervisor to supervise Bairen and Zhongqiu County, and appointing a famous scholar from Nanyang named Lou Gui as the Central Supervisor to supervise Yiyang and Xiangguo.

Two counties... five counties will work together to appease the bandits in the mountains, survey the fields, and build a public school. If successful, the whole country will use its strength to repair the Gelu River! You are the famous clans of Zhao State, but there are some people who have any plans for the Prime Minister and me.

Have something to say?"

When the words came to this point, before anyone else could speak, the Handan clan chief felt a chill in his body, and responded anxiously, praising him again and again. At this moment, the other big family members in the country naturally had nothing to say.

In fact, what can they say?

You must know that the postal supervisor is a county supervisor, with a rank of only 100 shi. However, just as the governor of a state with 600 shi can supervise the county governor of two thousand shi on behalf of the central government, this position can also supervise the county magistrate and magistrate below on behalf of the county governor.

, has always had heavy powers and responsibilities. However, with Xiang Xu's behavior before, this position was naturally abandoned. But today, Gongsun Xun first killed the county magistrate of a neighboring county in public, and then openly placed his cronies in these two positions.

, it seems that he is going to completely break his face and openly seize the power of the Zhao Kingdom!

At this time, what can they, the big middle school businessmen who signed the petition, do except express their approval?

In other words, Wei Song had the confidence to shake his head in public, but it was just a shake of the head.

Handan is very close to Yecheng, so two days later, when the document with the seal of the Prime Minister of Zhao arrived in the state, Wang Fang, the governor of Jizhou who had already known the inside story from Zhao, was on pins and needles...

…He did not dare to open this official document.

A confidant from the state office next to him was a person personally promoted by Wang Fang. Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but ask seriously: "Is it possible that what Uncle Fang is worried about is that after the document was opened, the procedures were complete and there was no unauthorized killing?"

"That's right!" Wang Fang responded helplessly. "Gongsun Xun took a neighboring county magistrate to Handan without permission, and then killed him in public. Everyone in the Zhao Kingdom knew about this... It's terrible, but Xiang Xu is so incompetent that he allowed himself to be killed.

Gongsun Xun completed the formalities. Tell me, if this is the case, should I just admit it? Or should I go to Zhao State to inquire carefully and find out the matter?!"

"Difficult!" the confidant said quickly. "There are three extremely difficult aspects of this matter... One is that Zhendu, the head of Xiangguo, did collude with the bandits. This person admitted to his face that all the famous people of Zhao were present. It was true that

The blame for the crime cannot be evaded; secondly, Gongsun Xun was so arrogant and domineering that he tied up the county magistrate with the county order and then publicly executed him. This matter is also known to everyone; thirdly, it is Zhao Xiangxu who cannot deal with it rationally...

And under such a situation, if Uncle Fang does not investigate, he will probably be criticized, saying that Uncle Fang is afraid of Gongsun Xun and allows him to be domineering and bully his superiors and kill his subordinates. But if we really pursue this matter, there will be no investigation..."

"That's right!" Wang Fang became more and more helpless. "This is exactly the reason. If I don't investigate, I'm afraid it will be troublesome to clear my name. But if I really pursue it, I'm afraid I'll make myself embarrassed... So, what can I do?"

"It's better to resign." The confidant thought for a moment, but suddenly gave an unexpected suggestion. "Uncle Fang has been in office for almost two years. It seems that the court will not let you live in Jizhou anymore. According to the

Conventionally, Fang Bo should be appointed to a large county, but you have often told me before that the emperor openly sells officials in the West Garden.

Name. In this case, why not leave a few days early..."

It turned out that this Jizhou Fang Bo had already intended to resign and return home.

In fact, Wang Fang thought carefully and nodded in agreement.

——————I added the dividing line——————

"Taizu was the magistrate of Handan, and Zhendu, the county magistrate of the neighboring country Xiangguo, colluded with the Taihang bandits. He first massacred the village with the bandits and then destroyed them as merit. Later, he was attacked by others. Taizu was angry when he heard about it, so he returned to Handan as the county magistrate.

, Fu Ye paid a visit to the Prime Minister to ask for execution. The Prime Minister suddenly did not dare to respond. Taizu repeatedly reported that the Prime Minister agreed, and immediately killed him inside the temple gate. After killing him, he sent a message to the state, and the governor Wang Fang also sighed: "There are still more people to blame for the death, but with one

The order to kill is long-lasting, and the minister is forced, but it has not been heard! How can it be?" Zuo Zuo sarcastically said: "If you avoid the Handan order, you will lose your virtue; if you allow it, you will lose your law. Fang Bo Danggui." Fang Nai abandoned it.

The official left. After leaving, Taizu heard about it and said to everyone: "First kill the chief, then force the prime minister, and then take away the uncle, is it okay?" - "Xin Yan Shu". Volume 1. Taizu
