Chapter 595 A Sharp Eye for Truth, a Painful Revelation! The New Patriarch of the Wang Family is Act
The autumn wind is mournful, carrying endless sorrow.
Mao Jie's heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave, chilled to the bone!
As two outstanding figures from the same Ministry of Personnel, how could Mao Jie not know that bastard Fa Zheng?
That bastard, in order to escape the Ministry of Personnel, tricked almost all the capable officials who were originally under Liu Bei's command!
It is said that a "naturally born physique of a high-ranking official" was also recommended.
However, since Cao Cao's army has not yet returned from the Nanzhong region, the person with the divine body of the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat is still in Shu, assisting in handling government affairs.
This shows that Fa Zheng is willing to do anything to betray his teammates!
Sending this thing to your side is like planting a time bomb.
As for Lu Xun, Mao Jie didn't know much about him.
All that is known is that these are the talents who were tricked into coming from Jiangdong by Su Yu and Guo Jia.
Because of his young age, he was assigned to the Court of Justice to work as a subordinate of Cao Ang.
Whether Cao Ang sent Lu Xun to gain experience or to monitor Mao Jie, it was not a good thing for him!
But did Mao Jie have the right to refuse these two assistants who were even more difficult to serve than his ancestors?
Obviously not.
He could only grit his teeth and swallow the pain.

Zhao Yan, filled with shame, apologized to Xun Yu.
Although the truth about the forced occupation of people's land has come to light, and the culprit Wang Gang has been exonerated.
However, Zhao Yan's political career was undoubtedly marred by another major setback.
"Bo Ran, will you return to the Minister's office or take up a post in the south?"
Xun Yu presented two options to Zhao Yan to choose from.
Currently, the southern part of China has not been completely pacified.
However, Xun Yu believed that with the strength of Cao Cao's four scourges, by the time Zhao Yan set off and arrived in Nanzhong, the war would be almost over.
However, the southern part of the country is a wild and undeveloped area, and people are prone to getting sick from the change in environment.
This option is undoubtedly extremely difficult, much like sending a high-ranking official to guard the frontier.
Compared to that, the Ministry of Personnel's residence is much better.
The company offers comprehensive benefits, a relaxed work environment, harmonious colleagues, no overtime work outside of working hours, and generous salaries.
Zhao Yan resolutely said:
"The wild and untamed lands must eventually be visited by us Han people to sow the seeds of fire!"
"Who else would it be than me!"
"I, Zhao Yan, will ensure that the vast lands of the South are fully developed and thoroughly integrated into the territory of my Han Dynasty!"
Xun Yu sighed softly.
Zhao Yan was far too enlightened.
Fine, fine, since Zhao Yan insists on going to that place of suffering.
Then, without acting out of personal bias, he transferred Zhao Yan back to the Minister's Office.
Little did they know, Zhao Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was so close, so close, he would never have been able to leave!
If Zhao Yan hesitated even for a second between taking up a post in Nanzhong and taking up a post in the Ministry of Rites, it would be irresponsible to the people of Nanzhong and a manifestation of selfishness!
Just as Zhao Yan was about to take his leave, he suddenly hesitated, cupped his hands to Xun Yu, and said:
"My lord, there is something I must say."
Xun Yu raised an eyebrow:
"Speak quickly, I still have to deal with government affairs later."
Zhao Yan cupped his hands and said:
"Although Wang Gang and I have some disagreements, he doesn't seem to be the mastermind behind it all."
"I suspect there's someone else behind this!"
Xun Yu smiled and said:
“Boran, the fact that you realize this shows that you can still be a good official.”
“The person behind the scenes is certainly not Wang Gang.”
"But who this person is is no longer important."
"Right now, the last thing I want to see is Mao Jie failing me!"
Zhao Yan's pupils contracted slightly.
He wasn't stupid; of course he understood the underlying meaning in Xun Yu's words.
In other words... Mao Jie wasn't actually trusted, and could even be considered bait.
High-level gameplay is terrifying!
Zhao Yan exclaimed that he couldn't afford to offend them.
These people are all so cunning and scheming, they make me look like a complete idiot. I should just hurry up and go do some development in the south!
……
A few days later
Xuchang suburbs
Fa Zheng and Lu Xun traveled together.
Fazheng is currently riding high on success.
Even when he became the leader of the Dongzhou faction, he wasn't as happy as he is now.
People only realize how much they cherish something after they've lost it.
Fa Zheng was the same.
To be able to see the sunlight outside the Minister's residence is one of the greatest joys in life.
Be content and happy!
"Lu Xun, don't always have such a stern face."
"Cheer up, yes, smile."
"No, why are you cutting me! Stop cutting me!"
Lu Xun glanced coldly at Fa Zheng. Of course, he didn't really intend to kill Fa Zheng; he was just drawing his sword as a show.
"call……"
"I'm your senior! I've handled more government affairs than you've eaten meals!"
Fa Zheng was almost a full twelve years older than Lu Xun.
He didn't want to lose face in front of the young people.
Lu Xun, however, said indifferently:
"I admit that you handle more government affairs than I do."
"But how many more opportunities do you have to feel the warmth of the sun than I do?"
"Grass!"
Fa Zheng cursed angrily and silently shed tears.
Terrible! The Minister's residence deserves a terrible review!
Even if it means spending money to criticize the Shangshu Ling's (Minister of State's) misconduct in the Zhongyuan Daily.
If you get caught, just say it was Yang Xiu, Sima Yi, or Ge Xuan who did it!
Getting back to the main point, on their way to Nanyang, Fazheng and Lu Xun conducted an in-depth analysis.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that Mao Zedong has a big problem.
He was too hasty, eager to appear decisive and efficient, and shifted all the blame onto Wang Gang.
But Fa Zheng and Lu Xun were two different people. One was Liu Bei's chief strategist, and the other was Su Yu's disciple.
When the two of them are together, their lethality can easily be considered the fifth most dangerous force in Cao Cao's camp.
When analyzing problems, the two of them would consider the worst aspects of human nature.
Mao Jie seemed to have gained supernatural insight, and he handled everything with incredible speed.
Xiahou Shang and Zhao Yan, however, were completely clueless; after searching for so long, they hadn't found a single clue.
There are only two possibilities!
First, Mao Jie is exceptionally gifted and possesses extremely strong abilities.
Second, Mao Jie was the director who orchestrated all of this, or at least an important actor in it.
Which one will it be?
The two already knew the answer in their hearts.
……
at the same time
Wang Gang is in a rage, completely hysterical.
No matter what he said, the elders of the Wang family were unwilling to support his son in succeeding as the clan leader.
The newly appointed clan leader is quite young, even two or three years younger than Lu Xun.
The man was handsome and elegant, dressed in white. Surrounded by a crowd, he took the seat that should have belonged to Wang Gang's son, and murmured to himself:
"My mind is not on this place."
