After hearing the meaning of Li Si's words, Li Yuan couldn't wait to take Li Si's door sticker and go to find Zhang Han.
But when he arrived in front of Zhang Han's house, he was stopped by the guards at the door.
"Who is trespassing?!"
Li Yuan took out Li Si's greeting card and handed it to the guard at the door with both hands. His attitude was so humble that no one could find any fault in it.
"My lord is Prime Minister Li Si. If you want to see Lord Zhang for something, please ask me to come and see Lord Zhang."
The guard at the door glanced at Li Yuan suspiciously. He didn't expect that the guard in the prime minister's house was so easy to talk to, but he seemed to be going too far.
He held the handle of the knife with one hand and took Li Yuan's post with the other. He glanced at it casually and saw Li Si's name. He quickly raised his hand and saluted Li Yuan slightly.
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment and allow me to report."
After saying that, he took the invitation and walked towards the yard.
Just when Li Yuan held his head high and waited for the guard to invite him in, he saw the guard coming out with an awkward look after a while.
He handed over the greeting card with both hands and waited until Li Yuan took it before saying, "My lord is missing, please come back."
"Please give me a message to the Prime Minister. It's just to relieve His Majesty's worries. Your Majesty will judge all matters yourself. My Lord has no right to make any decisions."
Li Yuan did not expect this result. He looked at the invitation in his hand and then at the door of the mansion, his eyes full of disbelief.
Not only did they not see him, they also directly rejected Li Si.
This is simply a slap in Li Si’s face!
Li Yuan, who had never suffered such an insult before, suddenly became angry. He stood at the door and shouted loudly: "My lord is the prime minister, but Lord Zhang is so disrespectful!"
"I just want to ask Mr. Zhang to say a few words, but that's not possible?!"
The guard who had a good impression of him at first felt a surge of anger in his heart when he heard these words.
Listening to the meaning of his words, it seems that the prime minister is an official, so my lord is not an official?
What's more, when it comes to being favored, who doesn't know that His Majesty values Zhang Han very much?
Thinking about it, the guard immediately straightened his back, looked at Li Yuan and said angrily: "What you said makes no sense!"
"My lord is your Majesty's personally appointed Major General. Nowadays, the government is so busy with affairs that I have no time to pay attention to you, a little attendant."
"Besides, what my lord just said made it very clear. If the Prime Minister really wants to do it, but the Prime Minister can't make a decision, your Majesty, what rights does my lord have?"
"As for private matters, my lord has no personal relationship with the Prime Minister, so there is no private matter."
The following words were what he said when he met Zhang Han just now. If Li Yuan was unwilling to leave, he would be so unwilling to give the prime minister face.
Sure enough, after hearing what the guard said, Li Yuan couldn't say anything else.
After all, if this matter gets too big, it would be hard to explain to His Majesty.
But now, it's hard to explain when he goes back. He seems to have seen Li Si's anger.
"In that case, I won't bother you."
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving many onlookers talking about the matter.
The people who lived here were all high-ranking officials, and the news of Zhang Han and Li Si's discord had spread throughout the court in less than half a day.
There are even more speculations about what exactly Li Si wanted to see Zhang Han in such a high-profile manner.
The most important thing is that Zhang Han refused to give Li Si any face. Could it be that he got an explanation from His Majesty?
Does that mean that His Majesty's trust in Li Si is no longer what it was before?
After all, with Ran Fang there, everyone can see the importance of Ran Fang in front of His Majesty.
For a time, the eyes of the government and the public were attracted by this matter, but few people talked about the school and library.
Even Ran Fang heard about it, especially when Li Si, who had been humiliated, got angry in the house and even punished Li Yuan, Ran Fang also knew it clearly.
Zhang Liang stood beside Ran Fang and told Ran Fang all the news of the past few days.
"Sir, do you want to find out what happened to the Prime Minister and Master Zhang?"
"With such a big commotion, it must not be a small matter."
Ran Fang sat there, thought for a moment, and shook his head.
"No need."
"Li Si dared to act like this, but he was just doing it to show others."
"If there was really a gap between Zhang Han and Li Si back then, I'm afraid he could have blamed Zhang Han for being disrespectful today."
"Just keep an eye on what's going on in the city, don't worry about other things for now."
With Ran Fang's words, Zhang Liang felt relieved.
While the two were talking, Heng Gaozhuo walked in under the leadership of the guards.
When he saw Ran Fang, Heng Gaozhuo saluted Ran Fang with great respect.
His movements and expression were more respectful than before. His eyes were still a little firm, and he looked at Ran Fang eagerly, as if waiting for Ran Fang's answer.
"See the Commander."
"I've been thinking about it for a long time these past few days. I'm really willing to serve beside the commander."
"I hope the commander can give me a chance to work in the newspaper office. I won't let the commander down."
Although Zhang Liang didn't know much about the newspaper's affairs, he did know something about it.
But he didn't expect that Heng Gaozhuo would be willing to give up the opportunity to take the scientific examination just to do this.
Ran Fang looked at him without the slightest surprise, as if Heng Gaozhuo's arrival this time was expected by him.
Likewise, he did not agree directly.
He turned the tea cup in his hand, raised his head and looked at Heng Gaozhuo without saying a word.
In this state, Heng Gaozhuo felt even more depressed than in front of his master. Beads of sweat had appeared on his forehead for some time, but he did not dare to make any movement and could only let the sweat fall down.
Finally, when he couldn't help it anymore, Ran Fang moved his lips slightly, looked at him and said, "Have you really made your decision?"
"If you do something like a newspaper, then you really have no chance of becoming an official in the court."
"If you want to become an official in the court again in the future, it will not be such a simple thing."
There was a threat in these words, and Heng Gaozhuo also understood that as long as he agreed, he would be considered Ran Fang's person.
If you want to put down the newspaper affairs in the future, it will be betraying Ran Fang, and he will definitely not let him go.
He had already thought about these when he came, and he naturally had expectations in his heart.
Without thinking, he knelt directly in front of Ran Fang with a very pious expression: "Master Qi, I have already thought about it!"
"If your subordinates have any intention of betrayal, please let me handle it as you please!"
"You must also understand that I am willing to serve as an official in the court just for the sake of the common people in the world, but in my opinion, this newspaper office is more meaningful."
"Being able to spread Great Qin's decrees and news throughout the entire Great Qin, letting the world know His Majesty's kindness, know His Majesty's contribution, and be devoted to the Great Qin, this is more meaningful than joining the court as an official!"
"So, as long as you say a word, my subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for you!"
