The ten thousand steles resonated with each other. ¥f
Gyeongo, Luo County. It was a simple place with convenient transportation and abundant resources.
Yan Yukong was sitting in the back office dealing with documents when he suddenly heard a strange voice. He instinctively stood up and stood straight.
"You are paid by the people. The people are easy to bully, but the heavens cannot bully you!"
After hearing the majestic voice, Yan Yukong hurriedly walked to the front court. He quickly arrived in front of the Ring Stele and saw the sixteen words engraved on it.
Yan Yukong's expression darkened. He flung his sleeves and walked slowly to the back office with his hands behind his back.
"Bastard Fang Yun, this is the Ring Stele! Many people want to write on it but can't. You just became a district magistrate, but you can already write a precept. With these sixteen words, you can get a B-grade in 'Official Governance'. At the very least, you can get a B-grade or lower! I thought that the officials of Ning An County would show you who's boss, but now it seems that you've turned the tables on them! Should I compete for the Governance of Official Affairs? "
Yan Yukong thought as he walked back.
Far away, Qi Nation, Xuan County.
Li Fanming cursed, "Do you want me to live or not? He doesn't care about the friendship of a friend in the Holy Ground! On his first day as a district magistrate, he's like a king issuing an imperial edict. What's the point of taking the court exam? Bastard, if I knew this, I wouldn't have taken the court exam with him. I'd rather become a Grand Scholar a year later! Stupid rabbit, what are you looking at? "
The big rabbit pointed at the sixteen words and bowed slightly. Then, it pointed at Li Fanming with contempt in its eyes and shook its paw gently.
"You dare to say that I can't do it? I'll tear your rabbit's mouth into six pieces! " Li Fanming moved forward. The rabbit jumped twenty feet into the air and onto the courtyard wall. Then, it jumped out and disappeared without a trace.
Capital, Left Prime Minister's Residence.
Left Prime Minister Mount Liu and Ji Zhibai were drinking tea and chatting.
Ji Zhibai grumbled in a low voice, "Sir Geng is too careless. A dignified Hanlin Academy member has been knocked unconscious in public. Who knows how many people will laugh at us? Fortunately, I'm prepared. Once Fang Yun participated in today's meeting in Ning An County, he would definitely make a fool of himself! Even if we can't taint his Literary Name, there will still be ways to attack him for not being good at poetry. "
"My nephew's son-in-law was just careless. It's just a small matter." Mount Liu sipped his fragrant tea indifferently.
"Esteemed teacher is right. Ji Zhibai picked up his teacup. Just as he was about to drink, the dragon's roar of an imperial edict was heard.
The teacup in Mount Liu's hand didn't move at all, and the tea didn't even spill out. However, the teacup in Ji Zhibai's hand fell to the ground with a thud and shattered into pieces.
Ji Zhibai was shocked. He said, "This … this is the Ring Stele Chime? This voice doesn't have the power of the Divine Path, but it has the aura of an emperor. How could that traitor Fang Yun say something like this? "
Mount Liu slowly put down the teacup and frowned slightly. No one knew what he was thinking.
"This is not good! He actually inscribed words on the Ring Stele. The officials of Ning An County will definitely be intimidated by him. I'm afraid that a few of them will change sides! "
Mount Liu said slowly, "Ning An County is too chaotic. I'm afraid that some people have already secretly changed sides. However, Old Man is here. Everything is under control! "
Ji Zhibai immediately said, "Esteemed teacher, you're right. You're in charge of everything, and I'll run all the errands. Right now, the most important thing in the Prime Minister's residence is to take care of your wife's pregnancy. What did the doctor say? "
Mount Liu, who had always been serious, couldn't hide his joy. He said, "Today, the doctor used a medical book to check Ming Zhi's wife's pulse. He's already determined that it's a pair of twins, and they're healthy!"
Ji Zhibai was overjoyed. "Congratulations, esteemed teacher. Congratulations, esteemed teacher. This is the auspicious sign of a dragon and a phoenix! According to this calculation, the day the dragon and phoenix are born might be the day you return to Gyeongo! "
"Hahaha …" Mount Liu couldn't help but laugh heartily.
Gyeongo Imperial Palace. Imperial Study.
Pa …
A flawless white jade ruyi was violently thrown to the ground and exploded into pieces.
"Ridiculous! A mere county magistrate, how can he carry the heavenly law like an imperial edict? He's clearly Xusheng, how can he have the aura of an emperor! "The Qing Emperor's breathing was rapid, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
For the past two days, Gyeongo and Jingguo's officials had been negotiating. All kinds of news were constantly sent to the Qing Emperor's desk. Gyeongo, which had been suppressed by Jingguo, had completely turned the tables. They constantly used the contents of the documents Gyeongo had written to Jingguo, and often used insulting words, which made the Qing Emperor so angry that he almost exploded.
In the Ning An County yamen, Fang Yun was calm as usual.
The sixteen words were written by the last emperor of Shu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period of China. Later, Emperor Taizong of Song intercepted the sixteen words and used them to warn the officials. Later on, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Ming Dynasty put them in an important position. Such a powerful admonition was like an imperial edict in Saint Origin World.
Fang Yun's private soldiers were shocked, but they were all cheering.
"Congratulations, Your Honor. These words of admonition are enlightening and thought-provoking. They are spread throughout the human race, and will definitely increase your official rating!"
"These sixteen words are like pearls, as if they were bestowed by the heavens. Only Xusheng could have written them," Fang Yingwu said.
Some of the Ning An County officials immediately looked at Fang Yingwu, thinking that this person was so smart. Fang Yun's imperial poem was nothing, after all, he didn't have an official position. But now, Fang Yun was clearly a county magistrate, but he was like an imperial edict. People with ulterior motives could spread rumors and slander Fang Yun.
However, Fang Yingwu put the blame on Xusheng to shut the mouths of the others.
The two Marquises had already returned to Fang Yun's side. One of them was holding the official seal of a ninth rank official.
Fang Yundao asked, "Who will be the Chief Secretary of the Ceremonial Department?"
"That's me." A fair-skinned scholar in his forties walked out.
"From today onwards, you will be in charge of the Ceremonial Department," Fang Yun ordered.
All the officials looked at the new Ceremonial Department official.
In the county yamen, there were less than ten officials with official ranks. Below them were the civil servants.
There were ten offices in the county yamen. Other than the civil servants' office, the Ceremonial Department, the Ceremonial Department, the Military Department, and the Torture Department, there was also the Receiving and Receiving Office, the Accountant Office, the Recruitment Office, and the Warehouse Office.
The head of the ten offices was the Chief Secretary, and the rest were the civil servants, secretaries, and so on.
Almost everything in the county yamen went through the ten offices. Therefore, the ten offices had a lot of power in the county.
However, the civil servants of the ten offices had no rank. In terms of status, they were far inferior to the officials. Other than having some power, their status was the same as that of the commoners.
The power of the county magistrate, deputy county magistrate, registrar, and Ceremonial Department official was reflected in their ability to control the ten offices.
Although the Ceremonial Department had a higher status than the other four offices, it had very little power. It was a cold yamen. No one had expected that Fang Yun would directly let the Chief Secretary of the Ceremonial Department, Yu Bachi, take the position of Ceremonial Department official temporarily.
For Yu Bachi, this was like reaching the sky in a single bound.
Yu Bachi was not close to the Left Prime Minister's party. He was related to a famous local family. He was quite talented and because he was good at government affairs, he was promoted from an ordinary civil servant to the Chief Secretary.
It would be very difficult for Yu Bachi to be promoted.
"Yes, sir!" Yu Bachi did not show any surprise on his face. He stepped forward steadily and raised both hands to take the official seal of the Ceremonial Department official.
