Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Beijing.

Song Mansion, backyard.

In the pavilion.

A young man supported an old man and sat down slowly.

The old man is none other than the master of the Song Dynasty, the leader of the Confucian scholars at the time, and the scholar Song Liansong.

Even though it was summer, Song Lian still wore tight clothes. After the serious illness before, his body was still not in good condition and he was afraid of the wind and cold.

"Teacher, what those people just said made sense. Why didn't you agree to this?" The young man asked after helping Song Lian sit down.

"The man behind those textile and clothing factories." Song Lian glanced at the young man and sighed softly. "Xizhi, that man is not so easy to deal with."

The young man was none other than Fang Xiaoru, the only person in history who was punished by the Ten Tribes, and was hailed as the "seed of scholars" by the prime minister in black.

At this time, Fang Xiaoru had not really entered the official career. He was studying with Song Lian at this time when he was in his early twenties.

Fang Xiaoru was alert and agile, reading more than an inch thick every day. Everyone called him "Little Han Yu". Within a few years of joining Song Lian's sect, he had become Song Lian's most proud disciple.

Even those seniors among Song Lian's disciples who have now made a name for themselves in the scholarly and literary world, such as Hu Han and Su Boheng, have publicly admitted that they are not as good as Fang Xiaoru, thereby building momentum for this junior disciple.

Fang Xiaoru had great literary talents and could write good articles. However, he despised the knowledge of literary writing and often took it as his own duty to declare the way to govern the world with benevolence and righteousness and achieve peace in the world.

Such a young scholar with ideals and ambitions naturally couldn't stand it when he heard things that were insulting to politeness.

If there is injustice, cry!

Fang Xiaoru's temper has not changed even when he is old, otherwise he would not have tricked everyone around him to death, not to mention that he is now at the age when he is young and energetic.

It is even more impossible to bear this tone.

As for what Song Lian just said, whether he could afford to offend that man, these were completely outside of Fang Xiaoru's consideration.

In the original time and space, he even dared to fight against Zhu Laosi who became the emperor, let alone a little prince.

Fang Xiaoru said: "Teacher, according to what those people just said. Jiangnan Textile Factory and that garment factory are all women. Throughout the ages, women have to abide by etiquette. There is no one who works in public to make money. Moreover, these women They get together and talk about everything in a mess. What kind of talk is this? The most intolerable thing is that the Jiangnan Meng clothing store openly sells women's lingerie, which is really indecent."

Fang Xiaoru accepted the authentic Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism since he was a child. He regarded Zhu Xi as his disciple. In his eyes, ethics and education were matters greater than heaven.

In his opinion, Yang Xian, who was born in the Imperial Academy, disgraced scholars.

"Why don't my teacher know these things?" Song Lian sighed.

But Song Lian still hasn't recovered from the successive blows, or in other words, he has begun to waver deep in his heart.

Song Lian knew his student well, and he knew in his heart that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, as long as it was something that his student believed in, he would never give up.

Therefore, Song Lian did not try to persuade him any more. All he could do was that when his disciple did cause some trouble, he could at least save his life.

After coming out of Song Mansion.

Fang Xiaoru started looking for his friends. Now that Fang Xiaoru had a certain reputation in the circle of scholars, and with the blessing of his status as Song Lian's disciple, it didn't take long for him to gather a group of people for them.

When these young scholars learned that there was a shop selling women's obscene clothes on the street and doing such immoral things, they immediately became outraged.

After hearing that all the textile and garment factories in Jiangnan were female workers, I became even more furious.

If all the women in the world are like them, showing up and doing things, then where will the men like them be?

In ancient times, women were accessories.

To be precise, it was what Yang Xian did that made them, scholars, feel like they were losing face.

then.

On a breezy morning, a few passionate scholars, under the slogan of eradicating the shameless scum, destroyed the newly opened Jiangnan Meng clothing store on Zhuque Street.

Not only that, he also injured a female clerk in the store.

The female clerk received a slap in the face, her head hit the table, and she bled.

Liao Jun, the Yin of Jinling Prefecture, was shocked when he heard the news reported by his subordinates.

"Sir, how should we deal with this matter now?" Wu Tongpan asked.

If it was an ordinary provocation, it would not be complicated at all. Wu Tongpian could handle it himself.

But the identities of both parties in this matter are too complicated.

The person who took the lead in causing trouble and destroying the store was a scholar from Taiyuan University. If you can enter Taiyuan University, your family background is not simple.

As for the shop that was smashed, outsiders only knew it was a newly opened clothing store.

But as the governor of the capital, Liao Jun knew that this ready-to-wear shop with a signboard called "Jiangnan Meng Clothing Store" had a clear intention behind it.

And behind Mingji is that man.

"Stay calm first, I'll go find Li Xiang to report this matter." Liao Jun said.

"But the sufferer in question has already asked for help at the Yamen," Wu Tongpian said.

But before he could finish speaking, he was directly interrupted by Governor Liao Jun.

"As long as you stabilize both sides, no one will be offended. For such a simple matter, after you have been an official for so many years, do you still need my guidance from this government?" Fu Yin Liao Jun's face darkened and he said solemnly.

"Before I come back, if anything goes wrong, you are responsible for it."

After saying these words, Jinling Prefecture Yin Liao Jun put on his official hat, walked out of the government office directly, and headed towards Zhongshu Province.

Wu Tongpan was left alone, his face full of bitterness.

If it were so easy to stabilize both sides, would Liao Jun still go to the Central Publishing House to report this matter?

The consequence of not offending two parties is that both parties are often offended.

Governor Liao Jun obviously wanted to leave this mess to him, but he had to take it.

At this time, it can be deeply reflected that the official level can crush people to death.

This is officialdom.

Zhongshu Province.

After a long wait, Governor Liao Jun finally waited for Li Shanchang to finish handling the matters at hand and was received by him.

"It's Liao Jun. It's true that the people below didn't inform me earlier. It's rare to see you come over and sit down." Li Shanchang said with a kind smile on his face.

Because a guest was visiting, the clerk came in with freshly brewed tea.

Liao Jun took the newly built Longjing from the tea-delivery official, carefully placed it in front of Li Shanchang, placed it solemnly, and then took his own cup.

After nodding with the officials, he sat down.

"Your Majesty knows that Prime Minister Li has a lot of things to do every day, so he doesn't dare to disturb him on weekdays. But today's matter is a bit special, and he doesn't dare to make a decision without permission. That's why he came here to ask Prime Minister Li to consider it." Liao Jun said cautiously.

Li Shanchang picked up the tea cup, blew the hot air gently, and said, "Tell me what's going on."

"Yes!"

Liao Jun nodded, and then told the story of the smashing of a shop that happened on Zhuque Street in Jinling City in the morning. Liao Jun was very careful in his words and used an objective narrative perspective throughout the whole process without presupposing any position.

However, he clearly explained the background behind both parties and the difficulties of Yin Yamen of Jinling Prefecture.

The position of governor of the capital city is not easy to sit in.

It's not something that ordinary people can do well.

After listening to Liao Jun's report, Li Shanchang put down the teacup in his hand and looked up at Liao Jun with a meaningful look.

No wonder the guy in front of me has been able to sit in this position for so many years without making any major mistakes.

Li Shanchang looked at Liao Jun, nodded, and said with a smile: "As the governor of Jinling, please tell me your opinion on this matter. What do you think?"

"Li Xiang, save me!"

"If I know how to solve this problem, I won't bother you anymore." Liao Jun said.

"I may offend both sides now. Will I still be able to sit comfortably in my position as governor by then? It's better for me to just take off the black gauze on my head right now." Liao Jun said. Then he actually took off the black gauze hat on his head.

Of course, this does not mean that Liao Jun really does not want to be an official. If he really does not want to be an official, why would he come to Zhongshu Province.

Li Shanchang saw this clearly.

Liao Jun just wanted to express that he was in trouble and wanted to find Li Shan to help him.

Li Shanchang squinted at Liao Jun, picked up the tea cup and took another sip.

When Liao Jun saw that Li Shanchang didn't respond, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

He said with a sad face: "On the surface, this matter is just a fight, but in fact, behind it is a competition between scholars all over the world, represented by Song Xueshi, and Yang Guogong. If it is not handled well, it will cause trouble all over the world." The Protest of the Scholars.”

"The most poisonous weapon in the world is the pen in the hand of a scholar. If the official is innocently affected and becomes the target of verbal and written criticism by the scholars in the world, each of them can drown him with just a spit of spit."

Liao Jun is very aware of these Confucian disciples and their ruthless scholars.

As long as he sends people to arrest these people who are causing trouble and provoking people today, then their government office will arrest people in front of them, and someone will probably even make up dramas in the back.

The most common thing is that dog officials succumb to authority without any courtesy or shame.

Seeing that Liao Jun finally opened up and confessed his feelings, Li Shanchang laughed, waved his hands and said: "No, no."

"Li Xiang, please stop comforting me."

"The truth is that you think too well of today's scholars. Today's scholars not only speak, but also directly take action. I'm afraid that when you step out of the house, there will be rotten eggs flying from nowhere. Hit your head." Li Shanchang laughed.

After listening to Li Shanchang's words, Liao Jun almost couldn't hold back a mouthful of old blood and spurted out.

"Prime Minister Li, now that things have come to this, please don't take your official position to make fun of him!" Liao Jun was about to collapse.

Li Shanchang smiled and said, "Okay, it's just a small matter. What are you afraid of?"

Liao Jun was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Li Shanchang with a look of joy and asked

"What Mr. Li means is that this matter has been eased?"

Li Shanchang couldn't help but shook his head and laughed.

"No relief, no relief."

After saying that, Li Shanchang picked up an official document, then stood up and said leisurely: "As the governor of Jinling, you only need to do what you should do as the governor, and act according to the law."

Liao Jun was completely dumbfounded by Li Shanchang.

He looked at Li Shanchang with a confused look on his face.

I dare say that what I just said was all in vain. Li Xiangguo must not be old or demented.

Of course, Liao Jun would not dare to say this.

But at the moment, in Liao Jun's opinion, either Li Shanchang is stupid or he is stupid.

There is always one person who is stupid anyway.

"What does Li Xiangguo mean by this?" Liao Jun asked carefully.

Seeing that Liao Jun still didn't understand, Li Shanchang couldn't help but sigh and said: "You also said that there are two groups of people fighting behind this matter, but what does this have to do with you, the governor of Jinling?"

"It's you who makes things complicated."

"You just followed the law and caught the thugs who were causing trouble. Not only must they be arrested, but they must also be dealt with severely!"

After that, Li Shanchang walked out of the living room with his hands behind his back.

Liao Jun was left with a question mark on his face.

Li Shanchang knew that what he said was for this reason.

If Liao Jun hasn't understood it yet.

Then there is no need for this person to help anymore.

Liao Jun looked at Li Shanchang's back and murmured in a low voice: "Not only does this have to be done, but it also has to be done ruthlessly?"

While muttering, Liao Jun's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Wonderful!"

"As expected of Prime Minister Li!"

For Liao Jun, who is the governor of Jinling, this incident has already happened on his land, so it is impossible to avoid getting involved.

There are only two choices in this matter, the first is to release the person, and the second is to arrest the person.

If he chooses to let him go, then Liao Jun will not only offend Yang Xian, the man behind the Jiangnan Meng clothing store, but he has also failed to fulfill his duties as the governor of Jinling, which is tantamount to neglect of duty. The court will blame him when the time comes. It's still a light thing to lose one's official title.

Those scholars will not think highly of him either.

When choosing to arrest someone, at least Liao Jun himself had performed his duties well. In terms of rules and procedures, there was no risk of performing his duties. He had an explanation for Zhu Yuanzhang and the court.

Moreover, he can also win some favors from Yang Guogong, Yang Xian, the most popular figure in the officialdom today.

The only disadvantage is that it offends those readers.

At this time, Li Shanchang's words became more valuable.

Handling this case more seriously will completely intensify the contradictions in the whole matter. This will also send an invisible message to those scholars, that is, someone is interfering with this matter behind the scenes and exerting pressure on him.

It’s self-evident who this person is.

At that time, the conflict will be transferred directly.

Those scholars will directly target Yang Xian.

And he is just a tool man who acts according to the law, so what can he do? Who cares about him?

After thinking about all this, Liao Jun's lips raised a smile, and he felt completely relaxed.

He left Zhongshu Province almost floating. (End of chapter)
