The best county magistrate

The New Year’s Eve firecrackers ushered in the new year in Beijing.

Children put on new clothes and played and laughed on the long street. The smoke of fireworks rising in the streets and alleys made people sigh at the prosperity of this city.

After giving some candies to the children, Yang Xuanchen quickly arrived at the East Palace.

At this moment, two magistrates, a chief registrar, and two clerks were waiting outside the door of Zhan Shi's mansion.

When they saw that the new Shao Zhan was a young and handsome young man, they couldn't help showing a look of shock on their faces.

Why did Your Majesty get such a young person to do Shao Zhan's job? Can this teach the eldest prince and princess well?

Could it be that old teacher Murong couldn't teach well, but how many skills did this young man have?

No matter what, people are here, and they still have to give enough face.

The two Fu Cheng in front of the row looked at each other and saluted Yang Xuanchen.

"The official Xian Dong."

"Xia Guan Wang Wenji."

Everyone said in unison, "I have met Mr. Yang."

Yang Xuanchen responded with a smile, "Okay, okay, no need for common etiquette. Let me briefly introduce the situation."

Fang Xiandong led everyone inside, talking as they walked.

"Old Zhan Shi from Zhan Shi Mansion retired last year and returned to his hometown, so Master Murong has been taking care of the studies of the eldest prince and princess during this time."

"The old teacher came here yesterday and said that you will be responsible for teaching from now on. Let us help you with our best..."

Within a few steps, Fang Xiandong basically introduced the situation of Zhan Shifu.

"According to you, the eldest prince can't even memorize the Four Books and Five Classics?"

At this time, Wang Wenji on the side complained, "Master Yang, you may not know that the eldest prince has a naughty character and only knows how to play and have fun all day long."

"When he was six or seven years old, he was enlightened by the old master. The eldest prince at that time was extremely intelligent. No matter what the old master taught him, he could learn it instantly..."

This made Yang Xuanchen confused. He had seen the eldest prince before. Apart from his well-developed limbs, he looked quite smart.

How could such a good child develop a naughty nature in recent years?

"Then can he memorize the Four Books and Five Classics now?" Yang Xuanchen asked.

Fang Xiandong let out a long sigh, looking depressed, "If he could memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, how could Lao Zhan retire and return home?"

"Does that mean you can't carry it? If you can't carry it, then you can't carry it. There's no use carrying that thing anyway!" Yang Xuanchen curled his lips as he spoke, looking unconcerned.

Ah! What are you talking about? Do you think the things left behind by pilgrims are useless?

I'm sorry, even if you are a newbie in the literary world of Dayan, well, the first person in the literary world, you cannot despise the things left by the ancients.

This is too arrogant!

Fang Xiandong and Wang Wenji were both old scholars and admired Confucian culture very much, but Yang Xuanchen made such nonsense as soon as he came up, how could they stand it.

They were about to argue from a scholar's point of view, but unexpectedly, Yang Xuanchen spoke earlier than them.

"The eldest princess has been studying with me for a few months in Qingshui County, and it's pretty good. There should be no need to give her any special treatment."

"Can you please tell me more about the eldest prince's situation? Apart from his inability to memorize books, how is he doing in other aspects?"

Fang and Wen looked at each other and thought for a moment, then Wang Wenji said, "Sir, our evaluation of the eldest prince is that he cannot be successful in military affairs."

"Is that trash?" Yang Xuanchen blurted out.

Fang Xiandong quickly waved away the main book and records, and carefully looked around, "Sir, be careful what you say!"

"The last time Young Master Zhan called the eldest prince a loser, he was beaten to a disability. I heard that he has been living a miserable life in recent years."

This guy is so lawless, don’t Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian care about it?

"What is the current state of the eldest prince's martial arts?"

After listening to Yang Xuanchen's words, Wang Wenji couldn't help showing suspicious eyes, we are in charge of writing, why do you care about the value of his force?

"Before reaching the human realm, I only have rudimentary boxing and kicking skills." This is what Fang Xiandong said.

"The eldest prince usually doesn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning. He doesn't practice and study until after lunch. He often sleeps for a while after midnight."

"I felt quite energetic at night. I listened to music in the palace and watched the dancers dance..."

"Stop, stop, stop, the eldest prince is only sixteen this year, isn't he already having fun every night?" Yang Xuanchen interrupted Wang Wenji.

Then he lowered his voice and asked in a low voice: "Is the eldest prince still a boy?"

Fang Xiandong and Wang Wenji were confused for a while. You, young Zhan, don't do serious things. Why did you become so concerned about gossip before you even said a few words?

Is your wife a serious official?

The two of them wanted to mention some things to pay attention to, when a voice sounded outside Zhan Shi's residence: "The eldest prince invites Young Master Zhan Shi to come to the Wenhua Palace for an audience!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xuanchen patted his official uniform and said goodbye to Fang Wen and the other two, and followed the eunuch to the East Palace.

The palace of the eldest prince Zhao Yanli is not very big. Compared with the Yuqing Palace in the previous Forbidden City, it has one row less houses.

When Yang Xuanchen arrived, Zhao Xue also arrived. The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty, Yang Xuanchen, has met the eldest princess."

"No gift!"

"Pfft, cluck, haha!"

Zhao Xue wrapped her hands around Yang Xuanchen's arms without hesitation, "Master, I heard that my younger brother is going to give you a blow, so I came to take a look and give you some support."

Yang Xuanchen scratched her little nose and put on an evil smile on his lips, "He is the only one who still threatens me? I'm afraid the ruler the Queen Mother gave me will see blood today!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Xue remembered that he still had this big killer weapon in his hand.

However, she was still a little worried. After all, she was knocked unconscious by someone from Shadow Moon Tower the night before, and she and Zhao Yanli were both grounded because of this incident.

Zhao Yanli was so angry that he heard that Yang Xuanchen had done something to Shao Zhan. Yesterday, he dropped his harsh words and told him to get out of Zhan's Mansion within three days.

"Be careful, you don't know martial arts, be careful and you'll be beaten to the ground, hehe."

Damn you, if there weren't so many people here, I would have spread your ass wide open, who are you looking down on!

The two entered the Wenhua Palace while chatting and laughing, but the eldest prince Zhao Yanli was sitting on the open space in the palace, crossing his legs and shaking his legs while drinking tea.

Naturally, Yang Xuanchen couldn't lose his etiquette when meeting the eldest prince. He bowed to Zhao Yanli and said, "Young Master Zhan Shifu Yang Xuanchen has met your Highness."

"Well, it's not bad. Turn around and show me!"

I'm sorry, do you think I'm a prostitute in a brothel? Turn around and let you take a look?

"Zhao Yanli, you are so brave!"

"How dare you not come forward to salute me, princess? I am the young master appointed by Your Majesty, and I am your teacher. You don't even want to return the salute to your teacher!"

"Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the king of heaven and earth is the master, the elders and the young are orderly, and respecting the master is a tradition that cannot be abandoned!"

"You Zhao Yanli! You don't respect your relatives and you don't respect your teachers. Do you know that this is treason?"

As he spoke, Yang Xuanchen raised his tone by another three points, "Come here, tie up the eldest prince!"

As he said that, he took off the ruler given to him by the Queen Mother from his waist and walked towards Zhao Yanli with an evil smile on his face.

"See clearly! This is the ruler given by the Queen Mother!"

"If anyone in the Wenhua Palace today disobeys my order, Yang Xuanchen, I will go to His Majesty, the Queen Mother and the two empresses to complain. I will not suffer the consequences of you!"

Suddenly, the eldest prince's palace was busy.

Some were looking for a rope, and some were holding his hands and feet to prevent him from moving.

The palace maid even took out the sheets and tied them up directly for him.

"You! You are rebelling against Tiangang! I...I am the eldest prince...well...well."

A wet silk handkerchief was stuffed into Zhao Yanli's mouth either by a guard or a palace maid, and he could no longer howl.

"You, pull off the eldest prince's pants. When my ruler comes out, there will be blood!"
