Chapter 91 Murals

When Liu Jing and Liu Pan arrived at the gate of the county mansion, they all got off their horses and cars, and entered on foot to show respect.

When Zhang Zhan and Zhang Zixiao served as Zuo Fengyi, he asked for leave to go home. When he saw the gate of the county temple, he immediately got off his horse and walked.

Zhang Zhan said: "The "Book of Rites" says: 'When you go down to the palace, Shi rides the horse.' Confucius faced the village party, and he acted like Xun Xun. I return to the country of my parents, and I should be polite. What is self-deprecating?"

Zhang Zhan, as the governor of the two thousand stone county, was still respectful and obedient when facing the county temple. Liu Jing and others were county officials, and today was the day of the Zhengdan court meeting.All county officials are like this.

On the way to the main hall, Liu Jing and Liu Pan had to stop to greet people almost every few steps they took, and their walking speed was very slow. In comparison, Liu Cheng and Liu Kang were much more leisurely.

Stopping and stopping along the way, they finally came to the main hall. At this time, there were six to seven hundred county officials gathered here. Looking around, they were full of high crowns and big pleats, which was extremely spectacular.

Brothers Huan Jie and Huan Yi were chatting with the surrounding officials. When they saw Liu Jing and Liu Pan coming, they immediately stopped talking and greeted them.

The four said auspicious words to each other, and Huan Jie said to Liu Jing, "Zhongda, this is your first time participating in the court meeting. Many of your colleagues don't know each other. Let me introduce you." Xun Xun, a man with a black face and beard and sharp eyes, this person is none other than Wu Ju, the director. Huan Jie was the first to introduce him, and he also had the intention of being a peacemaker.

Liu Jing looked at Wu Ju quietly. He was worthy of being a hero who started as a knight-errant.

The master book, the book of the chief accountant, records things in front of the emperor. It needs to pick up the leftovers and make up for the eunuch. Instead, it reads books and lectures, presents important letters, and welcomes guests.To be honest, Liu Jing was very skeptical whether Wu Ju, a martial artist, could be a good master.But thinking that Lu Bu had also been Ding Yuan's chief bookkeeper, he was relieved.

Wu Jupi clasped his fists with a smile, "I've heard about the name of your step for a long time, and I have a deep understanding of the ability of your step."

Liu Jing replied calmly: "I am quite honored to be praised by the master."

Looking at his calm and breezy face, Wu Ju's heart was full of anger, his eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said hesitantly: "My younger brother Wu Xian was killed by rioters in the city. Thanks to your feet."

Liu Jing smiled coldly, and said: "What does it have to do with me to make my brother kill people in the city and arouse public indignation? What's more, the light one is the root of the heavy one, and the small one is the source of the big one. That's why the embankment breaks the ant hole, and the anger vents the needle light." Even if the Wu clan in Changsha has many branches and leaves, even if there are one or two unfilial children, it is not surprising that if you protect the dead branches and rotten leaves with one step, you don't know that you are harming the whole tree."

"This kid is too deceitful!"

Wu Ju laughed angrily. Listening to what he said, it seemed that he didn't kill Wu Xian's relatives righteously, that is, he harmed the entire Wu family?

Seeing that the two were facing each other tit for tat, Huan Jie quickly said, "Zhong Da, this is the chief reporter..."

Liu Jing immediately ignored Wu Ju, and greeted the county officials introduced by Huan Jie one by one.

Wu Ju was short of breath and left in a huff.

Liu Pan showed disdain and said: "Sure enough, he is a martial artist with such a small mind."

As soon as his voice fell, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. All the officials looked left and right, Huan Jie sighed and persuaded: "Yuanlong, I am a minister in the same palace, why should I say such a thing?"

Liu Pan said disapprovingly, "Why do you need to cover up what a real man does? Wu Ju abolished the public because of his private interests, so why not say so?"

Huan Jie couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.

"Mr. Zhang is here..."

All the officials heard the words and looked back. Zhang Yi, as the magistrate of Linxiang, was supposed to sit in the county temple and accept the congratulations from the county officials. If there is no conflict, he simply stopped this year's congratulations from the county officials.

Zhang Yi saw Huan Jie, Liu Pan and others from a distance, and they came straight.

"Zhang Jun..." Liu Jing followed Liu Pan, Huan Jie and others to meet Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi has a handsome appearance and looks quite similar to Zhang Xian. He listened to Huan Jie's introduction, looked at Liu Jing up and down, and said with a smile: "Your name, I have heard it for a long time."

Liu Jing couldn't help laughing, isn't this Wu Ju's opening remarks, Zhang Yi doesn't want to give him a blow, does he?

Facts proved that he was thinking too much, Zhang Yi just chatted with him for a while, neither malicious nor enthusiastic.

The time for the court meeting was approaching, and the county officials arrived one after another. More than [-] people arrived. The court team should be headed by the meritorious Cao Huanjie. He voluntarily gave way to Zhang Yi and ranked second. ranked fourth.

Liu Jing, as the city supervisor, although he is a hundred-stone official, his status is extremely low, not to mention compared with meritorious officials, five officials, master book, postal supervisor, etc., even compared with other Cao officials, he is also inferior.

Generally speaking, his shift is behind Zhu Cao's, about thirty or forty.However, Liu Jing is not an ordinary supervisor, he has the prestige of the Qing Dynasty, and he is the most famous in Changsha. None of the Cao Caos dare to rank in front of him, including his friend, Jin Caoxuan Huanyi.

Seeing that Cao Yi gave way, the left thief Cao Jiji, the postmaster Li Yong and others were unwilling to give up, and they gave way one after another. Liu Jing changed positions repeatedly, and finally squeezed into the top ten.

Under the leadership of Zhang Yi, the officials stepped into the open main hall, which was exceptionally bright due to the uniform brazier in the hall.

Amidst a burst of solemn and solemn drum music, Zhang Xian came out from behind and sat solemnly at the main seat.

All the officials bowed to the ground, and then, starting from Zhang Yi, they went up to congratulate and worship in turn according to the order of the court.

When it was Liu Jing's turn, Zhang Xian said a few more words, nothing more than words of encouragement.

More than [-] people, if they come one by one, it may take two or three hours, but actually less than one-tenth of them are qualified to pay their respects alone.Even so, it took a long time.

After the officials finished their congratulations, Zhang Xian immediately returned to the back room to rest and wait for the banquet to begin.

For a while, Liu Jing noticed that there were murals on the walls of the main hall, and immediately approached to observe.

Ying Shao believed in "Han Guan Yi": "The turbid advance and retreat, the so-called not concealing mistakes, not false reputation, can even tell the truth of the matter."

Therefore, images of famous local figures are usually painted on the walls of the main halls of counties. In fact, painting historical figures on the walls of palaces and official residences was an important way to set an example for the subjects in the Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuandi and Emperor Ming all did this .

The latest portrait of the Changsha County Mansion is naturally the current prefect Zhang Xian. After he took office, he quelled the rebellion of the Wu people and Su Dai, making Changsha a rare pure land in troubled times.

Further forward is Sun Jian, the fierce tiger in the east of the Yangtze River. It was in Changsha that he served as the star of Pingding District, and the Lingling, Guiyang Zhou Dynasty, and Guoshi Rebellion. He accumulated military achievements and was awarded the title of Marquis of Wucheng.
