Shi Zixian looked at the young man in front of him and recognized the other person's identity effortlessly.
Seeing this, he smiled coldly, "What? Sishui Prefecture has been beaten, and Yunmeng Prefecture wants to stretch out his face and let me slap him? He really deserves to be a brother in trouble!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Everyone in Guangling Prefecture stood up and laughed, their smiles full of the superior joy that belongs to the strong.
Bai Yunbian said coldly: "Brother Gao Yang has a lot of things to do. If you are not here in the Surabaya guild hall, I will let you win twice. I didn't expect you to be so complacent and arrogant! The beasts in the mountains are the tigers, and the tigers leave the mountains and the monkeys are king!" You are such a clown, I can take care of you without Brother Gao Yang coming back!"
The striking words made everyone in Guangling Prefecture stunned, and they all whispered to each other to find out who this person was.
After learning that this person was the Jieyuan of Yunmeng Province, his expression became slightly solemn. Obviously, he knew that anyone who could be the Jieyuan of a state was not an easy person.
Cheng Jiaoyu and other people from Yunmeng Prefecture were speechless and choked. They asked you to practice with the weakest Sishui Prefecture but you didn't practice. Why did you take the initiative to mess with the strongest people from Yunmeng Prefecture!
Why bother!
Shi Zixian didn't panic at all when he heard this and smiled slightly, "You want to help Xia Jingyun stand out?"
Bai Yunbian didn't take the bait and said calmly: "I just can't stand your arrogance and challenge you on behalf of Yunmengzhou!"
"Then it depends on whether you have that ability!"
Shi Zixian snorted coldly, "What do you mean?"
Bai Yunbian also said coldly: "Whatever we competed with just now, we will compete with you! I can beat you in any competition!"
Shi Zixian laughed, "I hope you can laugh again soon."
After a while, Bai Yunbian fell down on the chair with a pale face.
If Xia Jingyun gave him the feeling of exaggerated and powerless crushing, Shi Zixian gave him the feeling of unconvinced helplessness.
How could he be so powerful?
The poems he wrote are beyond comparison.
The first couplet he produced was not up to par with me.
The length and short sentences he composed were still beyond my own ability.
But this is not like Xia Jingyun, who is completely helpless to the point of despair, or there is a gap between a long-standing scholar and a young man.
But, is this the level a son of a powerful person should have?
Oh, I am also a son of a powerful person, so that’s okay.
Bai Yunbian came with a fierce momentum, a look of despair on his face. While knocking down the morale of everyone in Yunmengzhou, it also instantly aroused Shi Zixian's arrogance to the highest level.
Shi Zixian snorted, leaned over and looked at Bai Yunbian across the table, and said arrogantly: "Standing out for others? Are you worthy?"
After saying that, he took the people with him and left.
In the center where the gazes gathered, Bai Yunbian sat blankly on a chair, his eyes dull.
——
In the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion, Su Yuanshang, dressed in civilian clothes, slowly opened the study door.
When Xia Jingyun heard the noise, he raised his head and said with a smile, "Mr. Su is here."
Su Yuanshang sat down across from the desk, "Have you thought of a way?"
Xia Jingyun put down his pen and said, "I haven't thought of a solution yet, I just have some ideas, so I invite you to come over and have a chat to see if we can improve it."
Su Yuanshang smiled and said, "Your ideas are definitely worthy of careful study."
Xia Jingyun smiled and waved his hands, and went straight to the point, "I think we must first be prepared, that is, if Shi Dingzhong is pushed out, it is best to have our people take over, or at least find a new neutral faction, otherwise All this hard work is in vain; instead, it is making a wedding dress for others."
Su Yuanshang nodded, "Having made this preparation can also dispel some of His Majesty's concerns and make it much easier for him to make decisions."
After all, Su Yuanshang had been a land official and knew the subtleties of this.
Xia Jingyun hummed, "Based on this idea, we have to prepare in advance and promote Wang Langzhong to the position of minister before the other party realizes our intention."
Su Yuanshang nodded, "After much deliberation, he is the most suitable."
Xia Jingyun continued: "When this step is taken, there will be two ministers in the Ministry of Rites, one is Wang Langzhong, and the other is Shi Dingzhong's iron man. If Shi Dingzhong falls, try to make him fall with him. Then there will be only one minister left in the Ministry of Rites."
Su Yuanshang frowned slightly, "But the central government will probably send a new minister from outside."
"This is something we can't control." Xia Jingyun sighed, "But we also have an advantage, that is, right before Chun Wei, His Majesty and the Central Committee may be able to straighten the prince in order to ensure that Chun Wei does not make any mistakes. "
If there were any outsiders here, they would definitely think that these two people were crazy and had nothing left, so they began to think about the candidate for the new minister. But both of them seemed to take it for granted.
Xia Jingyun said, "That's a story for later. Let's talk about how to bring down Shi Dingzhong first."
He handed over the paper written in his hand, "I have temporarily thought that we can start from these aspects. First, the British Duke originally agreed to take action, so there must be a tacit understanding and deal between the two parties. Given Shi Dingzhong's position, it probably involves Lu The promotion of a family nephew in the Ministry of Rites, or the selection of scholars in the Spring Period. We immediately screen the descendants of the Lu family who are currently serving as officials, as well as the descendants of Jinke who will participate in the Spring Period. If it is just an official promotion, count them lucky, but if it is the Spring Period, then This is evidence of his major crime!”
"Secondly, Shi Dingzhong must have done some corruption and perversion of the law over the years. Regarding this, I will try to find a way to see if I can find evidence of his guilt through the channels of Mr. Zhao."
"Furthermore, Shi Dingzhong's nephew, that is, Shi Zijun's cousin, is a candidate for the exam in Guangling Prefecture. In him, you will definitely find something about the Shi family's perversion of the law."
"Finally, Lu Yi has now entered the market. Let him find a way to collect some market rumors. We can verify it again and maybe we can gain something."
Su Yuanshang nodded slowly and said with a smile: "If these methods don't work, then this Master Shi is really as stable as a stone."
His expression suddenly changed, "What if we work harder to make Wang Langzhong's advantage even greater? Or let him have more weight in speaking in all the affairs of Chunwei?"
Su Yuanshang's words made Xia Jingyun think.
Expand your advantage?
More deeply involved in Chunwei?
Everything is normal now, so what chance is there to break the situation?
He would never be willing to artificially instigate something, hurt Juzi's interests, criticize the Ministry of Rites, or add charges to Shi Dingzhong.
Just as he was thinking about it, Gongsun Jing came over in person and said, "Sir, someone is looking for you."
Xia Jingyun immediately put away his thoughts and said with a smile: "The person who can bother Mr. Gongsun to come and pass the news in person must be some kind of noble person."
Gongsun Jing said: "She is just a maid. But she is the maid of the owner of Mingyu Tower."
Xia Jingyun raised his eyebrows and walked towards the main hall.
“Mr.
As soon as they met, the pretty and aloof maid across from her didn't mean to say much. She was polite and took out a sign and handed it over.
Xia Jingyun didn't reach out and asked in confusion: "What does this mean?"
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Jing on the side directly took the sign and said, "I will take my young master to thank you for your kindness."
Xia Jingyun immediately knew that this brand was probably very valuable, and then thinking of the situation in Mingyu Tower, he smiled and said: "I just wrote a poem, I'm afraid it's not worth such an expensive gift."
The maid said: "Young Master Xia can use this card to spend whatever you want in Mingyu Tower without charging a penny, and there is no limit to the number of times. Mingyu Tower has no other requirements. We just want to have a good relationship with you. Please feel free to accept it."
Xia Jingyun nodded, "Then the polishing fee will be gone?"
The little maid immediately looked resentful and began to doubt whether it was appropriate for the young lady to give the sign to this person.
Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "Just kidding, girl. Don't be weird, girl. I thank the owner of your building for your kindness. I accept it. I will come to thank you someday. Of course, if you still want to pay the writing fee, I will not refuse."
The little maid bowed with a sullen face, swung her legs and left, fearing that she wouldn't be able to curse if she stayed too long.
Xia Jingyun took the jade token from Gongsun Jing, played with it, and said with a smile: "I gave you this thing for no reason. If the owner of Mingyu House was a girl, I would wonder if she has a crush on me."
Gongsun Jing coughed twice and said, "Sir, the owner of Mingyu Tower is a girl."
Xia Jingyun:? ? ?
This is not logical.
Just as he was thinking about it, the concierge called again, "Sir, Mr. Bai is back. I see something wrong with his face. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Xia Jingyun thought for a while and said, "That's not necessary. He's probably showing off every day and has hit the wall again. Let him calm down for a while and go back later."
He smiled and nodded to the concierge, "Well done."
The concierge, who had come to ask for credit, was overjoyed. He humbly served the young master and left happily.
Then, it quickly turned back.
"Sir, there is a young scholar outside asking to see you. He says he is your old friend in Sishui Prefecture."
Xia Jingyun's heart moved, and he quickly went out to greet him personally. When he saw the person, he was overjoyed and said, "Brother Boyi, why are you here?"
When Xu Dapeng, who had followed Bai Yunbian here, saw Xia Jingyun, he was immediately excited. His knees softened and he almost fell to the ground, "Brother Gao Yang, I have found you! If you are not here, our Sishui Prefecture has been deliberately humiliated. ! Please take charge of the overall situation for us!"
Xia Jingyun's expression changed and his eyebrows furrowed quietly.
I have been running around all day today, and to be honest, I even spent time squatting on the toilet to make this update. It's too late, readers, please forgive me.
