Chapter 158: Concession

Liu Jing borrowed Confucius' words and expressed his opinion in public, hoping to govern the county with morality and etiquette. These words undoubtedly gave everyone a reassurance.

Because the county magistrate has too much power, he can "stand private rules", that is, establish his own systems and regulations, and live and kill for a hundred miles, and decide on one word. He can not only prosper one county with one person, but also defeat one county with one person.

People have different talents and virtues. Especially in modern times, officials have mostly been corpses and corpses. There are very few who can develop counties, but there are many defeated counties.

The officials of Huang County naturally hope that the Tingjun can be calm and indifferent, and govern with ease. In short, they try to make less trouble.

The two previous Tingjuns formed a sharp contrast. The former Tingjun followed the way of tranquility. After several years of official duties, although the exams were always ranked low in Changsha counties, the county monarch was as stable as Mount Tai and ended up in illness.

But his ex-Mr. Tingjun didn't believe in this evil. He relied on his origin as a Linxiang clan, he was arrogant and arbitrary. Within less than a month after he took office, he made trouble in the whole county and resentful.

By chance, an accident happened. At the end of the year, I took a boat tour of the Xiangjiang River, accidentally fell into the water and drowned.

Whether his ex-Gongjun died in an accident is a mystery. Let’s not talk about it for the time being.

If Liu Jing really could rule the county with morality and etiquette, it would be a blessing for Huang County.

Looking at the officials in the hall looking "safe" in their eyes, Liu Jing couldn't help but smile on his face, and then he gave a look to the serious sitting beside him.

Stern Su knew it was his turn to "go on the stage", and immediately spoke: "The Ming court is a gentleman who is polite and lenient in his governance and cannot bear the ruthless laws. However, the Book of Changes says: "Boyi surrenders to the rules, and only punishes the people." It means to use punishment to control the people and use etiquette to control the two. Both should not be neglected.

The Ming court was the king of a county, and it was impossible to "turn virtue into reason and not to apply criminal law." However, this minister was the chief prisoner of prisoners, but he could not be like the Ming court. He should perform his duties and supervise the law."

When the officials heard this, they were stunned and their eyes turned to Liu Jing, who was sitting in the throne. Seeing that his face was expressionless, they couldn't help looking at each other.

Since the court meeting, Yan Su hardly spoke much, and it was easily ignored by everyone.

Seriousness has a little reputation in Linxiang, but it appears more as Liu Jing's background. There is nothing we can do about this. He was promoted by Liu Jing and was in charge of the city. He was just "Xiao Rules and Cao Sui". In addition, he could not be a human being, so it was no surprise that he had such a result.

No one in Huang County knew him. At first, everyone thought he was just a "decoration" or a "puppet" who obeyed Liu Jing's orders, but after hearing what he said, everyone corrected their attitude and did not dare to underestimate him.

Because the county magistrate is like the county magistrate, he is also a "master official". As long as the county magistrate does not interfere, in theory, he has the power to deal with all county magistrates, including Gongcao.

With his intimate relationship with Liu Jing, his power in his hands is obviously not restricted.

The officials once again turned their attention to Gong Ying, who was undoubtedly the most affected person. Yan Su and Chu Fang could at least divide most of the power in his hands, and they were justified.

Gong Ying looked natural and seemed very calm. He had long been mentally prepared for this. If Liu Jing was just a person who spoke of benevolence, righteousness and morality, how could he attract Liu Biao and Zhang Xian to compete for it? He was dissatisfied with the title of the weak and became the head of a county.

Originally, Huang County had not been established for a long time. The two county lords had been eager to take over the power, but they never mentioned it. However, Liu Jing took office this time, but he took the position of Yan Su to seek the position of Yan Su's position as a county magistrate. His intention was self-evident. It was nothing more than taking into account the so-called demeanor of a famous scholar and unwilling to come to seize power in person, but let Yan Su do it on his behalf.

The only thing that surprised Gong Ying was that he actually invited Chu Fang. Until now, Gong Ying couldn't understand how he convinced Chu Fang?

After the court meeting, the officials left the main hall in different moods. The Gong brothers walked to Gongcao in a tacit understanding.

Gong Wu walked into Gongcao listening room and poured a large glass of cold water for himself. He drank it in one gulp, but he could not destroy the anger in his heart. He said angrily: "Second brother, are we just let Liu Jing'er press forward step by step?"

Gong Ying couldn't help but frown and said, "Fourth brother, be careful of your words."

Although he had already asked someone to guard the door outside and most of the inside of Gongcao were his confidants, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but he was afraid that if it was involved, it would not be an exaggeration to be cautious.

Gong Fu also said worriedly: "Second brother, I think the fourth brother is right. You have also seen it today. When Chu Fang arrived at the county temple, when the officials and soldiers saw him, they all bowed their heads and bowed their heads and respected them very much. If this continues, the fourth brother's prestige will be damaged."

Gong Wu's face turned dark when he heard this, but what the third brother said was indeed the truth. In terms of prestige, he was not as good as Chu Fang, and in terms of position, he was not as good as Chu Fang. He, a military officer, would probably not take long to become a "lone".

Gong Ying sighed: "After all, no matter how we are in power, we are just officials, and Liu Jing is an official, a chief official, and a county monarch... His words can make us have nothing. We have no other way except to give in."

Gong Wu's face turned grim and said viciously: "Why not do the past story?"

Gong Ying immediately changed his expression and said angrily: "Shut up! Do you want to destroy my family?!"

Gong Fu also reproached: "Fourth brother, how can such a thing be told?"

In order to keep this secret, except for their brothers, everyone else was silenced, including those who had followed their brothers for many years. It was because this matter was too serious. Once it was leaked, it would be a disaster for the family to destroy the family. For the sake of family safety, even the confidant could only be killed.

Gong Wu knew that he had made up his words and immediately kept silent.

Gong Ying shook his head secretly. If the former county magistrate had not been arrogant and arrogant, he would have been preparing to establish his authority as soon as he took office, causing fierce conflicts between the two sides, and he would not have wanted to take this move.

But this kind of thing may be explained as an accident, and it will be given a handle when it happens twice.

What's more, can Liu Jing kill him just by saying that he can kill him? Not to mention his fame and background, killing him is like stabbing a hornet's nest. Chu Fang alone can't get through this level.

Gong Ying was silent for a while and said, "We five brothers and county officials are called the most prosperous. But how can this situation last for a long time? If Liu Jing wants power, we will give it to him, and there is no need to conflict with him."

Gong Wu jumped up with a pale face and said, "Why are the second brother so angry?" He turned his head and looked at Gong Fu: "Three brother, what do you say?"

"I'll listen to my second brother." Gong Fu has always been the only one who follows Gong Ying, and this time is no exception.

Gong Wu was so angry that he slammed the door and went out.

Gong Fu looked worried and said, "Second brother..."

Gong Ying sighed: "I will look at him."
